Speaker 1: or a visit by legacygold dot com. Well, it's getting

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: hot in here. Temperatures in the nineties and different places.

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: It's no good. I don't like it. Oh I'm such

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: a winer. Oh man, when it comes to the heat,

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: I just don't do it, don't do I don't like

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: the drought. I don't like the heat. I don't like me. So,

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: not only do we have the heat, not only do

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: we have the drought. Not only do we have fires

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: that are burning. You know these multimillion dollars states, which stinks. Um,

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: we are facing some massive limitations on the future of water.

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: This is we're we're We're only moments away from Newsom

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: coming out and extending Governor Jerry Brown's Governor Choo Choo's

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: directions to if it's yellow, lead it mellow, it's brown

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: fleshing down advice. We're at the point where we don't

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: have any We just got nothing. Nothing was reading about

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: the recommendation that Governor Batman gave us about cutting our

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: water usage. And the recommendation was, we want to conserve

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: fifteen percent. A right, let's cut water usage by fifteen percent.

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: All right, great, So what did we do? We did

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: the most California thing possible. We used nineteen percent more

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: than last time. So let's see. Uh, we were asked

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: to cut fifteen percent, so if our baseline is zero,

32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: we were asked to go to negative fifteen. Instead we

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: went to plus nineteen, which means we only missed our

34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: mark by fifteen. Good job, just all the way around.

35
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: Just really well done, really well done all the way around.

36
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: It always frustrates me. It frustrates me because i know

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to cut back in my water usage and

38
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm not watering the lawn and not doing it right.

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to My wife always yells at me. If

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm in the shower too long, She's going to save

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: something for the fish. Right. So we're all trying to

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: cut back in our water usage all that stuff, but

43
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: somehow we in general are using more than what we

44
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: were in the past. And we're looking at another drop

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: another extending the droughte that we have. Right, We're looking

46
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: at this getting worse, and we already have fires and

47
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: you know what we used to put out fires is

48
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna blow your mind water, I know it's crazy, right. So,

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: the more fires we have, the more water we need

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: to fight fires. The more water that we use up,

51
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: the less water we have, we have less water, things

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: are dryer. If things are dryer, we have more fires.

53
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: This is not a good cycle to be stuck in.

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: We are really hosed right now, pun intended. So what

55
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: do we do about this? We gotta find ways to

56
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: either conserve more water and or get more water here

57
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: since in the last segment I was talking about we

58
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: have been unable to control weather thus far, although I

59
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: do think there's going to come a time at some

60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: point we're gonna have the technology to do it, but

61
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: it's not it's not right now. Without us being able

62
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: to bring more water in and our water supplies continue

63
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: to shrink, whether it's water supplies coming from northern California,

64
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: or water supplies coming from Nevada, Nevada, or the Colorado River,

65
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. With the dwindling water supplies, we're

66
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: not able to get more here. So what do we do.

67
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of options. The wastewater treatment I

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: think is probably the most promising and the and the

69
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: quickest to go. To be able to put it into effect,

70
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: We're going to have to implement some stringent UH conservation

71
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: rules and start demanding hardscape around southern California. And I

72
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: hate that, well, I hate hardscape. I've I've mentioned before

73
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: when I first came here. I left in February from

74
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: Kansas City. February of twenty twelve from Kansas City, and

75
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: I got to southern California on the I think it

76
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: was the twentieth. I pulled at a town and rolled

77
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: it in in town. It was May, it was the nineteenth

78
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: and I went I went to work on the twentieth

79
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: was my first day whatever it was. As I was,

80
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I come through Nevada and UH and I'm on fifteen.

81
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: I was going to San Diego at the time, I

82
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: was working down there, and and I kind of got

83
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: into Riverside and I started looking around and I went, oh, man,

84
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: well okay, once I got through Riverside, because I was like, well,

85
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: look at all the trains. But then I got so

86
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: that I was near the mountains, and I went, this

87
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: is beautiful. It's so green, it's so lush. Now, grant,

88
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: it was February, right, but it was just it was beautiful,

89
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: so it hadn't dried out, it wasn't too hot. It

90
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: was so fantastic. And then I get towards San Diego

91
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: and I've got the ocean on one side and I've

92
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: got the green mountains over here, and I was like,

93
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: this is this is I'm home. This is wonderful. And

94
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: all the homes had had beautiful lawns. Everything was manicured,

95
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: and I and I thought, this is this is great. Uh.

96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, I had lived in I had lived in

97
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Phoenix in the past, and and I never liked being

98
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: in that area. It was it was too hot, and

99
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: I hate the hot I'm miserable. There's never enough water.

100
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: Everybody had hardscape and I always and I grew up

101
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: in the Midwest where grass was a right, not a privilege.

102
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: And so when I came here, I was like, oh,

103
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: look there's grass. Oh so beautiful. I love that. Coming

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: out of Kansas, I was going to the Southwest again

105
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, man, I hope that there's grass.

106
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh there was grass. It was beautiful. Sadly, we're gonna

107
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: to get rid of all that beautiful grass. So the

108
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: next person is coming into southern California for the first

109
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: time is not going to have that great reaction of

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: Then might see some lushness and some of them mountains

111
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: some green in February, but they're not going to see

112
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the lush lawns. We are going to have to replace

113
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: the lawns. It's gonna have to happen. It's gonna have

114
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: to have hardscape or artificial grass. It's gonna have to

115
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: happen all over. I mean, we're already seeing it. We

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: already know that this is it's a profitable business here.

117
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: But we're gonna have to see more of it. We

118
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: have to. With water usage going up nineteen percent. First

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: of all, there is no there's no water available for

120
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: your lawn. Your lawn is gonna die either. You're gonna

121
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: have a dirt lawn, or you're gonna hard scape that sucker.

122
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have a choice. Because you turn your

123
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: sprinklers on. That means that you're taking water away from

124
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: somebody needs to drink it. And if we can't take

125
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 1: shorter showers, and if we can't, if we can't figure

126
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: out how to not double flush things right, we're gonna

127
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna be in a bad situation. I know I'm

128
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: oversimplifying yet, and I know that the majority of our

129
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: water usage is probably agricultural and industrial, or it's being

130
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: used in the hospitals or the prisons or whatever it

131
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: might be. But just the same, friends, the idea that

132
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: we're being asked to cut by fifteen percent and instead

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: as a state as a whole, which means the same

134
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: areas of seen lots more, we're missing the mark by

135
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: thirty four percent. We actually use well, we use nineteen

136
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: percent more than we did before. I don't know how

137
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: we got a problem. We're gonna have to cut our

138
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: use and we're gonna have to bring more water in,

139
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, I think water treatment is one

140
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: great way to do that. Another one that I've seen

141
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: people talking about is desalination. Although did you see that

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: The Coastal Commission just they just said no way to

143
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: the desail plant they were gonna put in a Huntington Beach.

144
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: They said, uh no. Coastal Commission says nah no, which

145
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: is pretty much all the Coastal Commission does. Coastal Commission's

146
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: entire job is to say ah no to just about everything.

147
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Uh The staff of the Coastal Commission recommended that the

148
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Commission say nah no, and they did so. They denied

149
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: the permit for the Poseidon Water Company to build a

150
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: desail plant in Huntington Beach. They were concerned with um

151
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: uh hazard such as sea level rise presenting hurdles for

152
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: decail plants, a great deal of opposition from the locals.

153
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: They didn't like that. Uh So, anyway, looks like that's

154
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Some people are concerned with the with

155
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: the being harmful to the environment. So you really had

156
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: you had, you had your hundreds and beach people that said, woh,

157
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: we don't want this dcail plant in our neighborhood. And

158
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: then you had the environmentals that said, oh, you're gonna

159
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: kill the the plankton. You can't do that, and you

160
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: know others that said, well, this is no what. You

161
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: can't build a dcail plant here because that would be

162
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: a commercial venture. And all of a sudden, you're turning

163
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: our water into a pay to drink situation. Well, bad

164
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: news on that front, friends. We already paid a drink.

165
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: We got some crazy water rates right now, and we

166
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: still for some reason, aren't using less of it. I

167
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: don't know what the fixes on that charge you more.

168
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: I guess we either cut back or it's gonna start

169
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: costing us severely. All right, still to come here, NATO

170
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: could be expanding. Russia says do that, and there's gonna

171
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: be trouble. I don't know if any of us believe it, though.

172
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: That is next Chris merrill in for John and kem

173
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: k if I am six forty, it's more stimulating talk.

174
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: The rescues aren't happy. Oh, Russia is mad. Oh, I

175
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: feel terrible about Russia being mad. Don't you feel bad

176
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: when Russia gets upset about things? I don't. I really don't. Uh,

177
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's we've got this weird generational

178
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: thing going on right now. Have you noticed I've noticed

179
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: this because my kids are in their early twenties, and

180
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: so they're sort of the opinion like what Russia ever

181
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: due to us? But those of us that grew up

182
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: during the Cold War, and for me, the Cold War

183
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: ended when I was eleven, all right, So the Wall

184
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: I was born in seventy eight, Wall comes down at

185
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: eighty nine, so that was pretty much it. But my

186
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: early years, right, all the movies and everything else, like Wolverine,

187
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: it was all about the Ruskies. Rocky was all about

188
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: fighting the Russians, right, and so which one was that?

189
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember? Was that Rocky four that had the

190
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: fight with the Russian wherever? That was? Okay? All right?

191
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: So this is uh so for those of us we

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: always like Russia was sort of that was sort of

193
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: our default. They're the bad guys, right, And then all

194
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden they have the collapse of the Berlin

195
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Wall and Russia goes in this deep, deep economic blah

196
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff, and people that were born

197
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: after that never really looked at Russia the same way

198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: that we did. My kids never did they go, why

199
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: do we care? Why, what's the problem with Russia? Why

200
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: are they why is everybody up on Russia? And all

201
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: of a sudden I feel like Vladimo, You're Putin is

202
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: just bringing out the worst in the relationship history. It's

203
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: just bad. It's like, you know, Russia, we had gotten

204
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: too a good place, and then all of a sudden,

205
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: you got a little uh, you got a little uh,

206
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: you got a little cruise jeff on us. Suddenly I

207
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: don't know why, but she got a little cruse jeff

208
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: on us. So now I think those of us that

209
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: are a little bit older, we go throw Russia down

210
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: with Russia and my kids are going, why is everybody

211
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: so mad about Russia? Why is Russia doing this? I

212
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: thought they were our friends, and I, you know, the

213
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: older generations are like, Russia has never been our friend.

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: It felt like we had pretty good relations with Russia

215
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: there for a good solid twenty plus years, didn't we

216
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm wrong on that. I thought I thought things were

217
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: getting things are good until Putin comes in, and then

218
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: it's like they can't trust Russia again. So Russia's all

219
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: They're getting old, They're getting their Russian panties in a wad.

220
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: And now you've got Finland and Sweden that want to

221
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: join NATO and Russia is not happy about that. So

222
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Jensaki the Press secretary one foot out the door for

223
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: the Biden administration was asked about Finland and Sweden. Let's

224
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: see if she says anything useful in the United States

225
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: would support a NATO application by Finland and our Sweden

226
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: should they choose to apply, We of course will respect

227
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: whatever decision they make. Both Finland and Sweden are close

228
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: and value defense partners of the United States, and we

229
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: love their chocolates. End of NATO, We of course support

230
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: the NATO's NATO's open door policy and the aspirations of

231
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: any country to apply to join. But I think this

232
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: speaks to our long standing UH relationship and military partnerships

233
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: with Finland and Sweena. As it relates to Russia, you

234
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: caused this look at the mirror, Look at the mirror,

235
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Look at look. I think it's looking in the mirror.

236
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: But that's fine, Keen. You have one foot off the door.

237
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Who cares? So it sounds like Finland wants in Tornado.

238
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: Finland wasn't super interested in being a part of NATO

239
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: until Russia starts going after former Soviet states. UH and

240
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: I played earlier in the show. I played a clip

241
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: from when um what was it? It It was one of

242
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the Baltic States. Anyway, I forgot already. This is this

243
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: is how much I'm up on it. Uh, one of

244
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: the we got the former Baltic states that Russia's trying

245
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: to bring back in um, We've got Montenegro, thank you,

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: We've got We've got this deal with Ukraine. Of course,

247
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: Russia was the annexed the Crimea Peninsula back in twenty fourteen,

248
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: and that was under Obama's watch. And now this is

249
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: happening today where they're suddenly they're trying to just stick

250
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more and a little bit more. And

251
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Finland's looking at things and they're going, you know, we're

252
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: awfully close to the former Eastern Bloc. We're not crazy

253
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: about what's going on here with Russia. So I think

254
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in our best interest to send a

255
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: signal to Russia not to screw with us at all.

256
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Don't even think about coming here, because we've already buddied

257
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: up with the biggest bully on the block, and that

258
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: is NATO, right which is run by the United States,

259
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: And I know that we're kind of the figurehead of it.

260
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know what Finland says, It's like

261
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: they just got to prison and they have to they

262
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: got to join a gang or just everybody's gonna take them, right,

263
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna come after Finland unless they join the gang.

264
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: So they go, Okay, you know what, We're gonna join

265
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: this gang over here. We're gonna join the NATO gang.

266
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: And Ukraine is saying, I don't want to be in

267
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Russia's gang. I want to be in the NATO gang.

268
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: I want to be in the cool guy gang. So

269
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of other countries that are going Russia,

270
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: You're You're just a bully and we don't really like you.

271
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: And this gang is gonna let us have more peas

272
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: at lunch. So we're going to join that prison gang.

273
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: It's basically what we're doing right now. We're just recruiting

274
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: other people to be in our prison gang. And Russia says, no,

275
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: we are a tough prison gang. You join our prison gang.

276
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: The deal with Sweden and people are they keep talking

277
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: about Sweden. Russia loves going to war with Sweden. If

278
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: you look back at the history, I think we are

279
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: in the longest period of time since I looked this

280
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: up point just a few weeks ago, I looked this up.

281
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: I think it's since the thirteenth century. I think it's

282
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: the thirteenth century. It's the longest period of time that

283
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Russia hasn't gone to war with Sweden. It could be

284
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: off by a couple hundred years, but don't worry about that,

285
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: don't It's a couple hundred years here and there has

286
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: never hurt anybody anyway. This is like the longest stretch

287
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: that they've gone without having a war with Sweden. So

288
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Sweden says, at some point Russia is gonna come after

289
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: us again, because that's what they do. This is just

290
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: what history shows is going to happen, and Putin is

291
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: taking a page out of the playbook of so many

292
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: different leaders of Russian history. Sweden goes says, let's just

293
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: let's just join the NATO gang over here, and you know, maybe,

294
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: well we might have to give them some of our desserts,

295
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: but you know, at least we'll have some of the

296
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: meal during our prison time at dinner time. That's what

297
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: they're saying. Because my analogy definitely works. There's nothing wrong

298
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: with my analogy. There's no reason for you to question

299
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: my analogy. It's perfect. You're welcome the Russians are not

300
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: happy about the responses, and Turkey is not even really

301
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: crazy about that. Turkey is saying, we don't really want

302
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: Finland to join NATO. Turkey is trying to be kind

303
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: of in the middle here. They're they're trying to be

304
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: the person who's running messages back and forth between the

305
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: two different prison gangs and my perfect analogy, but they

306
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: are not happy about the idea of Finland joining NATO.

307
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Turkey could use it's membership in the Western Military Alliance

308
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: NATO to vto moves to admit the two countries. So

309
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: Turkeys in NATO, but they don't really want Sweden and

310
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Finland to be a part of it. Turkish leader explaining

311
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: his opposition by citing the Sweden or other Scandinavian countries

312
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: allegedly support Kurdish militants and others whom Turkey considered to

313
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: be terrorist. So this comes back to Turkey's beef with

314
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: those those Scandinavian countries in general, has nothing to do,

315
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: at least on the face, with any sort of allegiance

316
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: to Russia. But Russia says, the US centric world is

317
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: going to collapse, and you're joining the wrong prison team. Yeah,

318
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: I listen. I'm a master of analogies. Don't question my

319
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: perfect analogies. There their dynamite, They're well thought out. They're

320
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: definitely not something I just came up with on the fly.

321
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen anyway. Dmitry Medvedev says that there's gonna

322
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: be a number of global consequences to the sanctions imposted

323
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: in his country, and that they are now going to

324
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: become the new hegemony in the world. He is mistaken. Yeah,

325
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the United States is gonna be

326
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: all powerful forever, but Russia is not gonna get what

327
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: they think they're gonna get. It's just not gonna happen.

328
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: All Right, you just got a phone call from a

00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,320

00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: take advantage of you. That is coming up first, k

332
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,679

336
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: More stimulating talk you you just got a phone call

337
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: from the Matrix. Hello, Neil, Sadly you chose the wrong

338
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: pill and you are now living in a fantasy. I

339
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, unless you know or have business with

340
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Keano Reeves, and chances are if you have business with

341
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Counto Reeves, you're still going to talk to him on

342
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: the phone. He's not calling you. So unless you are

343
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: a close confidant of Conto Reeves, that's not him that's

344
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: calling you or sending you text messages. This is a

345
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: scam that's happening, and evidently this is happening to an

346
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: awful lot of people, whether it's Conto Reeves or other celebrities.

347
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: It's what they're calling an impersonator scam, and the impersonators,

348
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: the fronsters, the scam artists sort of tap into that

349
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: little bit of us that wants it to be a celebrity,

350
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: that wants our attention. It's sort of like if somebody

351
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: called me and said ding dong, this is Tim Conway

352
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Junior just calling to say hi, I would I would

353
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: immediately say, oh my gosh, I love you, right, I would.

354
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: I would want that to be tip. Tim's never called me.

355
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Tim likely will never call me. But I want to

356
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: live in this fantasy where Kim wants to be my friend,

357
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: you see, And and so Deborah always says, you know,

358
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: just stay behind me, don't get too close to Tim.

359
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't He doesn't really want you that that close.

360
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you, you know, saving my hide on that, Deborah,

361
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,840

Speaker 1: a huge man crush out him. Be honest with you,

363
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I got a huge man crush. But have you ever

364
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: have you ever talked to a celebrity in your personal

365
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: life as a celebrity ever called you out of the

366
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: blue in your personal life called me? Yeah, just called

00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: And you are a super celebrity in Los Angeles, right,

369
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's far more likely somebody's gonna contact you

370
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: than some rando. I had a friend of mine who

371
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: she don't ask me why, I don't know. I was

372
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: living in Kansas at the time, and she had a

373
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: massive crush. You would never guess this. You would never

374
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: guess this. She had a massive crush on the New

375
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: England Patriots. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking,

376
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: Tomty Rights no. She had a massive crush on the

377
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: long snapper, the guy that would run out and snap

378
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: the ball to the punter or to the the guy

379
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: that would hold the ball for place kicks. They was

380
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: only on the field for like five plays a game.

381
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, she had this massive crush. She starts

382
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: getting these anonymous texts and she convinces herself that it's

383
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: this guy who just reached out to her out of

384
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: the blue. And she says, is this whatever the name

385
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: of the guy was at the time, I don't even remember.

386
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: And he says, oh, you found me out, and we're

387
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: all screaming at her. Her name was Lynn, she was

388
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: she was one of the She's one of the loveliest

389
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: people I know. And I said, we all said, Lynn, No,

390
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: it's not him. There's She was like fifty eight years old,

391
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: heavy set, three kids, recent divorce, piles of bills, and

392
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: she thinks that a professional football player from fifteen hundred

393
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: miles away just randomly got her phone number and send

394
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: her a text message. And she's like, no, I didn't

395
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: think it is him. He said it was No. These

396
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: scammers just tap into our desire to be close to

397
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: somebody super famous, and I was watching the story on KTLA.

398
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: I'll share some of it with you here because I

399
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: felt so bad for this woman who believed Keanu Reeves

400
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: had just randomly struck up a text message conversation with

401
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: her to this day. This morning, I received yesterday and

402
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: today eight texts from this Kenno Reeves guy. Yeah, she

403
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: means this Keyano Reeves guy, or this one if you prefer.

404
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: They're showing movie clips in the news report. I have

405
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: emails and chats and texts and pictures and stuff that

406
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: I dare any girl to read these and not believe

407
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: it's true. Oh my gosh. Now they don't say it

408
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: in the story, But do you think maybe that this

409
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: impersonator was sending deep to her? Yeah? Maybe, But then

410
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: if she really thought that that was right, there's something

411
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: seriously wrong with her. Okay, I'm going to have to

412
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: prove it to you that it's really me. So I've

413
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: taken a picture of my most private area, and I'm

414
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: asking you not to share this with anyone because I

415
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: could totally get into a lot of trouble if you

416
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: were to do that. And if you share this with

417
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: the tabloids, it would ruin me. So I'm really expressing

418
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: a lot of trust and faith in you and our relationship.

419
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Right yeah, ah, they go right to your heart. Amla

420
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Landers wasn't really being moooed by one of the world's

421
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: biggest movie stars. She was a victim of what are

422
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: known as impostor or impersonation scams. The Keanu Reef scam

423
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: is a relatively recent version of this racket and one

424
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: so effective victims have been reported being comby at both

425
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: nationwide and around the world. Impersonation scams are They come

426
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: in a number of varieties, whether that's a government impersonation,

427
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: business imperson I think we've all gotten those government impersonations,

430
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: I get phone calls probably once a week from Hi,

431
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: this is AT and T direct TV calling about your account.

432
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a T and T or Direct TV, right,

433
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: but it's always they have a big discount on my account, right,

434
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: And it's like once a week I get this. I

435
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 1: get calls that there's a there's a warrant out from

436
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: my ars. I get calls about, uh that I owe

437
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: the irs money. I had the IRS one, and I

438
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: don't know something. I'm always torn between weight screwing with

439
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: them and wasting their time, um and uh and just

440
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: hanging up and moving on with my life. I probably

441
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: should hang up and moving on with my life. But

442
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: one time I had the i RS guy call and

443
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: he had a very thick Indian accent, and he was

444
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: he was from the IRS, you know, and I and

445
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: I said, oh my gosh, which I RS? And he

446
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: said the IRS. So I was like, wait a minute,

447
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: what does that? What does IRS even stand for? You says, IRS,

448
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: the taxes. I go, but what IRS it stands for something?

449
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: He says, it stands for the taxes. Is for your taxes.

450
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: You have to pay me the taxes. And of course

451
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: it was something where he wanted Target gift cards to

452
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: pay my tax bill right And I said, oh, man,

453
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: I go, where are you calling from? He says, I'm

454
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: calling from Washington, the state, and he says from the IRS.

455
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: So it was one of those where I was sort

456
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: of amusing myself and wasting his time, you know, because

457
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: I thought, the longer I keep him on, that's somebody

458
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: else that he's not trying to scam. But good point no, Yeah,

459
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: then I just kind of got bored with it. Anyway,

460
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining. I'm imagining getting the phone call. By

461
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: the way, KTLA reached out to him. They reached out

462
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: to Keiano Reeves to try to give a statement. And

463
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: you know what Keiano Reeves did. He didn't text them.

464
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: He didn't text, He didn't answer the phone. Do you

465
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: know why? Because he's Keano Reeves. That's why he doesn't

466
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: have to unless you're his aging. He doesn't care at all.

467
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just imagining these these phone calls coming or

468
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, a text message coming out of nowhere and

469
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: and going from that point where you know you're skeptical

470
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: but you want to believe it. And this poor woman,

471
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: by the way, and the she she seemed like a

472
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: very reasonable individual who just kind of let her heart

473
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: get ahead of her brain. And what are you suppose

474
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: the first text, says dab Bro. I mean, I'm just

475
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: imagining a text comes in going, Hey, this is Kearny Reeves.

476
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Do you want to be my girlfriend? Or is it like, hey, girl,

477
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: you'd like to drive buses real fast? Oh my gosh,

478
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: it really is him, right, I can't wait to take

479
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: you out a cruise in my phone booth. Cool. Whoa

480
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: you know I've been waiting all day just to use right,

481
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: do you have anymore before we break? Nope, nope, nope.

482
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: I promised myself I wouldn't go, you know, overboarded this one.

483
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do you may have it would just those two.

484
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: It was bad enough. Yeah, you're the one that said ridiculous.

485
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: So all right, I think we're even on that one.

486
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about dummy pilots in just a second. Chris

487
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: merrill In for John and Ken k IF, I am

488
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere and you're on heart Radiopres Merrilyn

489
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: for John and Ken. More stimulating talk on a k IF,

490
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: I am six forty. When you were in high school,

491
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: did you ever do that? We did this a few times.

492
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: We'd come up to a stoplight and then we would

493
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: jump out of the car and run around the car

494
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: and then get back in the car. I don't think

495
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I ever did that. I think we call yeah we did.

496
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Or you would switch. So if you were in a

497
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: car and somebody else is in another car, you come

498
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: up with the stoplight, you both stop, and then you

499
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: jump out and the drivers would switch cars and then

500
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: and they try to do that before the light turned green,

501
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: and we always called it a Chinese fired drill. But

502
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: that seems kind of racist. Yeah, but I think that

503
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: back in the day, I think that's what it was called.

504
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: That's what I called. Okay, all right, I just wanted

505
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: to make I'm not trying to be racist. I'm just

506
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: trying to give people an image of what was going on.

507
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: So looking back on it now, it was always kind

508
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: of dumb. I've seen YouTube videos of people that will

509
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: put the car in idle and then they jump out,

510
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: and then they run around the car, all the way

511
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: around the car, and they try to jump back into

512
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: the car, which doesn't seem really all that challenging to

513
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: me other than you just kind of have to race

514
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: your own car, which, first of all, not super challenging

515
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: and kind of dumb. So I don't really get that.

516
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: But imagine taking that to the next level. All right,

517
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Imagine if you're trying to swap vehicles while those vehicles

518
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: are headed toward a crash. All right, do you think

519
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: you could do? First of all, I'd like to thank you,

520
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: and I are smart enough not to do that, right yeah,

521
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: ding ding, all right, very good? But you've seen YouTube,

522
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: so you know there are plenty of people out there.

523
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: What if, Deborah, I could get you a sponsor to

524
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: do it. What if I could get you somebody that

525
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: would cover the cost of the vehicle and give you

526
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: Boko box how much and they would film it and

527
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: it would play on Hulu. You know, I don't know.

528
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: It depends on how much, depends on how much? All right,

529
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, you're you're going, okay, all right,

530
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, if somebody's gonna give me what

531
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 1: fifty grand or something, all right, we're gonna go through

532
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: all the different safety precautions. We're gonna try to do

533
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: this right. All right, now you're thinking about it, aren't you.

534
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: I am, all right. That's what happened in April in Arizona.

535
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: The reason it happened to Arizona was the vehicles that

536
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Weren't you your regular Chevrolets and Fords

537
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: and Beamers and Merks. No, they were Cessna's. M Now

538
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: that takes it to a different level, doesn't it. The

539
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: FAA is revoking the license of two pilots involved in

540
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: the unauthorized Red Bull plane swaps stunt that took place

541
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: in Arizona. The pilots tried to swap planes while the

542
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: planes were descending. Oh my god, that's crazy, thank you.

543
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: So these stunt pallets they had to jump out of

544
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: the planes, and they did basically a midair like we

545
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: used to call it the Chinese fire drills. So they're

546
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: trying to switch planes midair. So imagine you get your plane,

547
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: you try to slow the plane down, you point the

548
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: plane downward, because it really doesn't work in any other directions.

549
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: Since you're going to be falling as soon as you

550
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: exit the plane, it means that the the other plane

551
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: has to be falling too. So you get those planes

552
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: even and then you get the planes going straight down

553
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: and you jump out, or at least at a decline anyway, right,

554
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: and you jump out, and you have to do this

555
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: in such a manner that you can slow or accelerate

556
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: your descent in order to get to the cockpit of

557
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: the other plane. And so these planes are going down

558
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: and both pilots go we're ready, three two one, and

559
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: they jump out of the planes, and the planes are descending,

560
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: and one guy they cross each other, and one guy

561
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: is able to get into the cock committed the other plane.

562
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Get that plane under control before it hits the ground.

563
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: The other guy is not. He is not able to

564
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: get into the cockpit in time, and so terrifying. No. No, now,

565
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: Fortunately he was smart enough to know, oh, this is

566
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: a stunt gone bad, and he pulled the repcord and

567
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: watched the plane crash. These guys had gone through all

568
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: the different safety precautions, they had worked out different scenarios

569
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: they had they'd done everything that they could try to

570
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: make the stunt go off, and if the stunt doesn't

571
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: go off, to make sure everybody's safe. Excuse me, this

572
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: is why they did this in Arizona. They just went

573
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: to someplace where either nobody would notice, or if they

574
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: did land and wipe out a suburb, nobody would care.

575
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: So they chose Arizona. Makes sense to me, I've lived there.

576
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: So this is what happened. One guy able to bring

577
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: it under control, the other guy is not. The FAA

578
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: gets involved and says, you know what, you guys don't

579
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: need to be flying any more. The guys actually asked

580
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: the FAA ahead of time if they could do this,

581
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: and the FAA said no. So it was streamed on Hulu.

582
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: It was sponsored by red Bull, which evidently does not

583
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: give you wings and uh, and then the whole thing

584
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: went to went to crap and done and a statement

585
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: shared on Instagram last month, because that's what we do now,

586
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: is we just we drop a pick of our statement

587
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: on insta. I don't really understand this. The one pilot

588
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: said he made the personal decision to move forward with

589
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: the plane swap, despite the FAA saying no. He said

590
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: they were seeking an exemption from the rule that pilots

591
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: must be at the tiller of the plane with safety

592
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: belts fastened. That seems like such a strange law for

593
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: the FAA to have, doesn't it. It's like the National

594
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: Highway Traffic Safety Administration requiring you to drive your vehicle

595
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: at all times. This is what in nutbags. Nah. The

596
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: fa is also going to find the pilot just shy

597
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for abandoning his pilot seat and operating

598
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: an aircraft in a reckless manner. Doesn't That doesn't seem

599
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: like kind of a low fine, like you're gonna get

600
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: five thousand? Yeah, Ryan, I mean if this if there

601
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: had been somebody on the ground, granted it would have

602
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: been Arizona, not many people would have cared because yeah,

603
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: I lived there. Nobody cares. But still that's problematic. Five

604
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: thousand dollars doesn't seem like much of a fine. I mean,

605
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: you get a bigger fine in the NBA for flipping

606
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: off a fan than you get for abandoning a plane

607
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: and watching it dropped to the ground below. It seems

608
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: a little peculiar to me. All Right, we'll talk about
