1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Got a special Friday show, The moist Line folks are

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: coming up in the five o'clock hour, and in between

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: two rounds of the moist Line, we have a special

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: edition of Hacket a Dumpster, Good Old Satan's Lake of Fires.

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Who's gonna get tossed into the lake and be politically

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: dissolved forever? Well until we throw them in the lake again.

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we've ever done that. You know, we've

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: probably thrown somebody twice. I'm sure we have, yeah, but

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: then back into the dumpster after they got dissolved they're

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I don't know. I don't keep a

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: list of this. I don't have any good statistics. We

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: need a historian. We've been doing this, I think for

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: more than ten years. Here's a good puzzle for you.

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: After Joe Biden announced the pandemics over in an interview

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: of sixty minutes a couple of weeks ago, the US

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: extended to COVID public health emergency through January eleventh, just

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: like dope California. That that's I can't I can't well,

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I do understand this. I mean, the desire to whole

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: power over people's lives is incredible. I still see too many.

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: It says it gives them broad It gives federal agencies

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: brought authority to expand certain programs without congressional approval. Yeah, exactly, power,

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: such as increasing enrollment in Medicaid, because then you'd have

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: to share the power with Congress. You'd have to have

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: a public debate about whether it's the right policy. You're not.

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I would think that everybody who's president wants to be

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: a dictator. I would want to be I want to

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: be a dictator. Now, imagine you're president and everybody treats

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: you like you're in charge, but actually you're not. To

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: a large extent. You gotta wait on Congress, you gotta

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: win in another party, you gotta deal with judges. Now,

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: with that, that gets got to get really tedious. All right.

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Of course, you have the ballot for the state of California.

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: There are seven statewide ballot measures to vote on. The

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: very last one is Proposition thirty one. And when I

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: got the pallid, I wasn't even where. I don't think

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I've seen any ads for this. It's like, wait, it's

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: one more here, because I've heard of the rest of them,

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: with the stupid ads that are incessant over the online

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: gambling that is still actually tapered off a bit, though

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: I thought of the last week, I'm seeing a lot

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: more ads. I'm relying on the dialysis ballot. I won't

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: watch any of this. So you're you're the tracker for

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, well, I'm just flipping around. And just

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: if you ever watch local news, that's all that. That's

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: all they're selling right now, or and a lot of

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: congressional race ads. Everybody's screaming about like a woman's body

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: at a right to choose. If I watch the news,

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: it's up to the first commerce. Even Karen Bass pulled

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: that one again today. She's running from mayor, but she's

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: talking about a woman's right to choose. I didn't really uh.

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: The committee supporting California's Proposition thirty one that would ban

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: in person's sales of flavored tobacco products. That's important, isn't it.

53
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Almost all the money for the yes vote on Proposition

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: thirty one comes from one single person, and it's a

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: significant amount. It's fifteen point three million dollars. Who would

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: give fifteen point three million dollars only one guy to

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: get a yes vote on a ballot measure that bans

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: in person sales of flavored tobacco products only one. Yeah,

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: it's the return of the billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Of course,

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: he was the mayor of New York and he may

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: forget this. He did run for president in twenty twenty,

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: thought he would be this great alternative choice to the

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: boring group of Democrats. He didn't. He enter the race late.

64
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: He did though. Yeah. No, he was a good mayor,

65
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: but he's got fixated on micromanaging people's lives. After he

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: was done being mayor, he got fixated on trans fats.

67
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: I think he tried to ban trans fats in New York.

68
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: And he did also salt. He was trying to limit

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: the mountain the amount of salt. And he had some

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: other band that got I think reversed by a judge. Oh,

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: the size of soda cups. Cup. We spent a lot

72
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: of time on the soda cups, soda cups, salt, trans fats,

73
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: and now flavored tobacco products. He tried to man like

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the big Gulf sized cup, right, if you get a

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: sugary soda, That's what he wanted to do. And and

76
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, I guess he's fixated on East cigarettes. And

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: for the life of me, I don't know how everybody

78
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: in the immediate and everybody in politics keeps claiming that

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: East cigarettes are a tobacco product. There is no tobacco

80
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: obviously at it zero percent tobacco. There's like nicotine, though,

81
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: which is what gets you. A Nicotine's not tobacco. Nicotine

82
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: is nicotine. Nicotine is added to the tobacco to make

83
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: you yeah, so, but you want you should, I mean

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: the correct this is it's weird. Everybody like with their

85
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Associate Depressed style book. There's so nick picky on certain

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: things and then other things are completely false, but they

87
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: just repeat the why over and over because you know

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: that that's the left wing agenda. Left wing agenda is

89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: go after big tobacco, go after tobacco products. And there

90
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: is not a molecule of tobacco and a flavored East cigarette. Yeah,

91
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: I and I when I saw this, I wondered, are

92
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: they talking about east cigarettes. They're talking about vaping, right, vaping, yeah,

93
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: right right, They're not talking about a tobacco product that

94
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: also has like a fresh mint or bubblegum flavor. Now,

95
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: because kids can't buy tobacco, so right, No, they're talking

96
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: about eat ciarettes and he's he's so, you could still

97
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: sell them, but they can't be flavored if this passes,

98
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: because they think the flavors attract children. That's what they're

99
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: worried about, that the children like the idea of some

100
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 1: sort of certain flavors like I mentioned bubblegum or chocolate

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: candy smelling vaping. Yeah, well yeah, they have, they have

102
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: flavoring products they put in the because he claims that

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: they do this to target children. So eventually children will

104
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: become cigarette smokers or just be eat cigarette smokers for

105
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: life because they get addicted when they're like ten years

106
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: old because they're attracted to the flavors. Hi, it's a

107
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: nanny state. That's that's parents are supposed to police that. Now,

108
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think any any decent parent needs

109
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg or anybody else in politics to worry about

110
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: if their kid is puffing on an eat cigarette. It's

111
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: just none of your business, that's right, can't I can't

112
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: stand that intrusiveness. All we're doing it for the good

113
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: of the children. No, you are actually just pleasing that

114
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: desire to control other lives, and you always have some

115
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: you always want to start preening about the what to

116
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: do good? Or you are how you're on the lookout

117
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: for the children. No, you don't care about the children.

118
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Stop it. That's a weird ego that Bloomberg has, a

119
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: really strange one. There is about seventeen point three million

120
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: dollars raise for the Yes on Prop thirty one. By

121
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the way, you can see our voter a guy, we're

122
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: a no. Anyway, fifteen point three million came from Bloomberg.

123
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: The No people have only raised two point one million,

124
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: so seventy nine percent of the money spent in the

125
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: race has come from Michael Bloomberg. This is a This

126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: is an issue that virtually no one cares about. I

127
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, it was even on my radar. I

128
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen an ad anywhere of any kind,

129
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: not even just a little posting on a website on

130
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: the corner there on the side of Bloomberg Blugerberg could

131
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: actually do a lot of a lot of good things

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: for children. You know that all bitch it passes because

133
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: people will think of that. Yeah, it's it's a good

134
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: virtue signal. Vote. Now, the rest of the yes, money's

135
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: come from the Kaiser Health Foundation or Foundation Health Plan.

136
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: That's only one million. And the no money well predicted

137
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: has come from Philip Morris and R. J. Reynolds tobacco company. Well,

138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: they's a couple of million dollars. Yeah, I mean they

139
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: they own those cigarette brands. Yeah, oh yeah. They realized

140
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: when all the politicians were coming after tobacco cigarettes, they

141
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: had to move on to some of their products. They

142
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: started developing things like e cigarettes and giving people a

143
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: chance to vape as a little turnative. They realized they

144
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: had to come up with something to keep them viold

145
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: band now and and and so if we get that

146
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: nicotine in there, that'll keep them coming back. It shows

147
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: that these nannies are never satisfied because the cigarettes don't

148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: create smoke issues, right, So you can't scream about secondhand smoke,

149
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: you can't scream about people getting cancer, you can't scream

150
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: about any of the stuff. So you start making stuff up. Yeah. People,

151
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: there's it's been with us all our lives, especially here

152
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: in America because there used to be so much freedom America.

153
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: There's always some group wanting to ban something. Everything is

154
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: always getting banned. Look at prohibition that turned out to

155
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: be a disaster. Coming up after three o'clock, four o'clock,

156
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: it's already after three. We'll be talking to John Kupal

157
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: from the Howard Drivers Taxpayers Association about Proposition thirty. Yeah,

158
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: you want to. Here's the wording of the title. A.

159
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Prop thirty provides funding for programs to reduce air pollution

160
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: and prevent wildfires by increasing tax on personal income over

161
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: two million initiative statute. Then in the small print allocates

162
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: tax revenues to zero mission vehicle purchase incentives. Now, this

163
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: is the LIFT measure. This is so that LIFT is

164
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: able to benefit greatly by getting their drivers to buy

165
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: an electric car more affordably. Yeah, because there is a

166
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: mandate that they have to have an all electric fleet.

167
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I think by the year twenty thirty. There shouldn't be

168
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: a mandate. And now to comply with the mandate without

169
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: LIFT having to pay much money, they want taxpayers, specifically

170
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: wealthy taxpayers to pay. It is such a bastardization of

171
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: our system here, John, business financing a tax unwealthy people

172
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: to help their business, and there should be no mandate

173
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: on LIFT to begin with. John can give us additional

174
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: reasons about voting. I'm sure he's coming out to say no,

175
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: no vote. Johnny ken KF I am six forty live

176
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Well, California likes to become

177
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: the first in the nation. And you know, just talking

178
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, it usually

179
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: involves something around the nanny state. I was actually surprised

180
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: that it took him this long to catch on to

181
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: this one because for years we've talked about the plastic

182
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: bag ban. Everyone knows a checkout now either you're getting

183
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: a paper bag or you're getting one of those thick

184
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're considered recyclable grocery bags. After

185
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: going through all that, it took them years and now

186
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: we have sent it Bill one zero four six, signed

187
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: into law by Newsome on September thirtieth, and the product

188
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: from a legislator up in the Bay Area, who is

189
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: the Eggman. That's her name, And every time I see

190
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: her name, it only comes up with like Ninny Bills,

191
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: Susan Eggman, a state senator, the Eggman. We are going

192
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: to become the first state in the nation to ban

193
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: the little plastic produce bags. The very very thin produced

194
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: bags that people used to stick their apples or their

195
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: grapes or their tomatoes and before they get to the

196
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: checkout counter. Starting January first, st banning straws. So it's

197
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. That is zero threat to the world. Less

198
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: than zero threat to the world. Yeah, someone thought we

199
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: did all that and now we forgot the little produce beat.

200
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: You what they actually call them pre checkout bags because

201
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: you get them before you check out when you're walking

202
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: around the store and you're loading up the produce in

203
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: these tiny, little plastic bags and there's little twist tie

204
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: usually and the well, for one thing, a lot of

205
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the fruit is wet, like if you get lettuce, it's wet,

206
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: so you put them inside a bag. Oh so it

207
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make everything So it does make everything else wet

208
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: in your in your grocery cart. And it also keeps

209
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the food from touching all all the other stuff in

210
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: the world. Right, so, right, so your produce, because if

211
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: you're like an apple, you just eat the whole skin there.

212
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: You could wash it beforehand, but yet the whole product,

213
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: it's not it's inside a bag or a continuer. There

214
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: is there is zero threat, just like there was zero

215
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: threat from plastic straws, And you don't you don't want

216
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: to find funny is that as as businesses evolved around

217
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: all these stupid laws, they are handing stuff out now,

218
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: straws that are just like plastic straws. I know technically

219
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: they're not, but they have the exact same hardness and

220
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: consistency of plastic straws. So if that one ends up

221
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: in the ocean, it's gonna go up. Sea turtles does

222
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: exactly the same way. There's no difference the theory with

223
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: that straw. I don't know if you've read the paper

224
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: before you opened it. It's supposed to be compostable, so

225
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: if you put it in with your compost, it doesn't

226
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: end up in the ocean. It ends up in your

227
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: compost pile where they take it separately. None of my

228
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: straws ever ended up in the ocean because I threw

229
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: the straws in the garbage, and the garbage was taken

230
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: to the landfill. So that was that was. It was

231
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: based on that one photo, and we've gone over that

232
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: a thousand times. It was one photo of one sea turtle.

233
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: But if you throw this straw into the ocean, it's

234
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: going to have the same effect on the one sea turtle.

235
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: It's no different. It just possible that and I don't

236
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: know this, I'm not an expert, that if it is

237
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: made of compostable material, the seawater will disintegrate it before

238
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: it gets at a turtle's nose versus the plastic. It

239
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: might be that that's the case, probably a hundred years.

240
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: It's just a racket because what they did, like what

241
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: the bags is, instead of getting a thin plastic bag,

242
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: I get a thick plastic bag. Now at the store,

243
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: you do, yes, right, and I throw that one out.

244
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: But it cost me a dime for every bag I use.

245
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: And that's why they think you'll use less. You won't,

246
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: but some people might be. I don't mindful of spending

247
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: the dime and resented no. But what it became is

248
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: a windfall. All those dimes add up for the grocery companies,

249
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: for you know, Rolphs and everybody else. And that was

250
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: the purpose of this. That's why I wondered why the

251
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: grocery stores went along with this. And what they did

252
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: is they ended up with a revenue stream. I don't

253
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: know how big it is, but it's not nothing. You know,

254
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: you add up all the bags purchased in a giving

255
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: year multiplied by ten cents, and you've got a few

256
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: bucks there. It doesn't do anything for the environment, because

257
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: the people who are going to use those filthy reusable

258
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: bags are going to use them anyway. They stopped complaining

259
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: about it, so maybe there is less plastic waste out there.

260
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't know nobody's complaining about it anymore, because the

261
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: story seemed to just go away. I don't think it

262
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: was about plastic waste. I think I think it was

263
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: it was a setup for the grocery companies to get

264
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: a revenue stream. And because because all the all the

265
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: grocery bags are still going in the garbage, I guess

266
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what people are doing with them. There

267
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: are always people, Well, you're always wanted to say that

268
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: you took the old plastic bags and used them for

269
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: other things, You didn't just throw them in the garbage

270
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: for a few days. Dog pooper, Well yeah, and then

271
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: the dog poop goes in the garbage, right, but at

272
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: least it's got two uses at it before it's thrown away.

273
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: So what you're gonna have to use now are are

274
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: compostable little thin grocery bags, garbage that the produce stand.

275
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Garbage mostly goes into landfills, but you have a lot

276
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: of you know, filthy people who throw their garbage in

277
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the streets and that gets washed into the ocean, or

278
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, pigs at the beach and they have their

279
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: beach garbage go into the ocean. But of the public

280
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: throws it in their kitchen trash and then that's taken

281
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: out to the landfill. Man, I still want to know

282
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: why my elsa gon Do Times because I still get

283
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: the actual paper delivered. It comes into plastic bag. They

284
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. I don't think it's compostable, but

285
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: I haven't examined it. I said, of all the publications,

286
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: the environmentally pure else, gon Do Times's crappen my newspaper

287
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: and tiny plastic bag because they don't really mean it.

288
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: And the idea is because the sidewalks are often full

289
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: of wo wet or do in the morning, so they

290
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: put it in there so they didn't get it. They

291
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: don't care. They pretend to care because it's good business

292
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: and it makes them money. They don't actually care. You know.

293
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: It's like celebrities against climate change who fly a private planes.

294
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: None of them care. Though it's good to advocate from others.

295
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: All you don't have to do it yourself to tell

296
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: other people to do it. All of life is theater now,

297
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: all of it just gotta figure out your racket and

298
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: make your money off it. I believe that. All right,

299
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: We got more coming up, John and Ken kf I

300
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app well.

301
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: Of course, the elections are coming up in November eighth.

302
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: The United States Senate right now is fifty fifty Republicans

303
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: and Democrats, which sometimes leaves Kamala Harris how scary to

304
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: cast a deciding vote as presiding over the Senate as

305
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: the vice president. One of the races that's fairly close

306
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: and getting some attention as a couple. Obviously you probably

307
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: heard about Herschel Walker and Georgia is in Pennsylvania with

308
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant Governor. John Fetterman is facing doctor Oz mem

309
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: at Oz. The television personality is the Republican nominee. Snake

310
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: Oil Salesman is the Democratic nominee. Fetterman is the current

311
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Lieutenant governor. Those how to pick him? Boy, yeah, yeah,

312
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: because it was the guy that's running for governor though

313
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: was even wilder. Yeah, doctor was a Trump was a

314
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: Trump guy because Trump admired his television celebrity. Oh is

315
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: that right. There's a relationship between them that Oh yeah, yeah,

316
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: I know Trump support him in the primary, which, oh,

317
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: he was the guy because Trump likes anybody who gets

318
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: ratings and Oz gets ratings. Well, things were going well

319
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: for John Fetterman as the Democratic nominee and then he

320
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: had a stroke. So you know, when people vote, they

321
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: do consider candidate's health, and it seems to be an issue.

322
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: And it really came to the four this week because

323
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: he did an interview with NBC News, a reporter by

324
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: the name of dash of Burns and Dasha Burns. Apparently

325
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: he said she felt that he had trouble following their

326
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: conversation because the truth is they were using a close

327
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: captioning device so that Fetterman sits there across from Burns

328
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: and then when she asked the question, it pops up

329
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: on a monitor and close captioning so he can read

330
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: the monitor and know what for sure what she's asking.

331
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: I saw the report. They have a three minute version,

332
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: then they have a thirty minute version. You could watch

333
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: the unedited interview on NBC's website. And he's sitting at

334
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: a desk and yeah, he's got a computer monitor in

335
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: front of him, and as she talks, it gets translated

336
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: into a closed caption graphics on the screen. So he's

337
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: and you can see him during the interviews. He's following

338
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: along because he hears her, but he can't process the

339
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: sound coming out of her mouth into what the words mean.

340
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: But he can read them and he understands them. And

341
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: the same thing when he when he is groping for words,

342
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to process what he's thinking in his heads,

343
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: in his head into the actual vocabulary. They're saying. He's

344
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: having trouble with auditory processing. Yeah, so he can read

345
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: and comprehend, but when you speak to him, he might

346
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: have trouble figuring out what you're saying. And she she

347
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: said that this was the case. Wow, Well, obviously, because

348
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: the Senate is a hot thing right now and this

349
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: is a very close race. You can imagine who has

350
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: jumped all over this reporter. Even though some people consider

351
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: what NBC News to be rather liberal progressive, they don't

352
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: like that she did this. Well, she I saw the

353
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: intro she gave on lester Holt's Nightly News, and before

354
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: they played the recorded piece, she said that Fetterman had

355
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: trouble making small talk before they turned on the cameras,

356
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: before they conducted the official interview, you know, where she

357
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: was just sitting and making small talk with him. But

358
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: there was there was there was no there were no

359
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: graphics on a screen for that, so he couldn't really

360
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: understand what she was talking about. She said that, and

361
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: that's what pissed everybody off, because she was telling the truth.

362
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: And if you're a partisan Democrat, you don't want to

363
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: hear the truth here, so you start calling the reporter

364
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: all kinds of names. Yeah, her words were in small

365
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: talk before the interview, without captioning. It wasn't clear he

366
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: was understanding our conversation. Yeah, and for that now she's

367
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: taken a lot of heat, including the wife of John Fetterman,

368
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: her name is Gizelle Federman, believes that this reporter is

369
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: an ablest. Yeah. Look, it came up with a newism. Yeah,

370
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: ablest someone who favors the abled over the disabled. It's

371
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: like saying somebody who's paralyzed. I went to see him

372
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: at his office and he couldn't walk that's the trips,

373
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: just telling the truth. Yeah, so, and I think when

374
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: you're running for public office, people, you don't have a

375
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: right to understand exactly physically if you're up to the job,

376
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: don't they I don't understand which wrong with that? You

377
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: could Now they're saying, well, she's he did a podcast

378
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: with a different reporter and everything went fine. She's exaggerating

379
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Okay, dated like the fact that

380
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: she even opened this can of worms. If it wasn't

381
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: a problem, they could bring him out to any reporter

382
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: on live television and do the interview without without the

383
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: computer screen. If he's not having a problem, then why

384
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: do you have a computer screen? The reason you have

385
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: to intact? The campaign insisted that NBC only conduct the

386
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: interview with the computer screen. Well, if you're insisting on

387
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: the computer screen, of course, he can't communicate really well

388
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: without the screen, of course, So she just pointed out

389
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: the obvious. If they didn't agree to the computer screen,

390
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: there would have been no interview. I mean, I mean,

391
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm reading the coverage then, and I'm thinking, am I insane?

392
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. No, he can't understand it, which

393
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: means if you're sitting with him and you're just talking,

394
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: he's going to stare at you and struggle, and then

395
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: you decide whether you care or not. Maybe he can function.

396
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look at Biden, isn't it right? Vetterman's

397
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: probably a lot sharper than Biden is right now. I mean,

398
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: if you don't mind senility, what do you care if

399
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: he needs to read what people say to him, Well,

400
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: if you're curious what he sounds like at all. We

401
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: have three minutes, will play as much as we think

402
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: is necessary part of the interview with the NBC News

403
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: John Fetterman. Because of his stroke, Vetterman's campaign required closed

404
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions

405
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: as we ask them, and lester in small talk before

406
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the interview without captioning, it wasn't clear he was understanding

407
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: our conversation. Can voter streuss that you will be able

408
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: to do this job on day one? Yeah? Of course.

409
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: This is Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman's first in

410
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: person sit down interview since a stroke sideline him from

411
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: the campaign trail for months. That auditory processing where I'll

412
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: hear someone speaking but sometimes will be will be precise

413
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: what exactly that they're saying, I use captioning his campaign

414
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: and required that he'd be allowed to use a transcription

415
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: program on his computer during our interview. I always thought

416
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: I was pretty empathetic emphatic. I think I was very

417
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: excuse me, empathetic. You know, that's an example of the

418
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: stroke empathetic. I always thought it was very empathetic before

419
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: having a stroke, But now after having that stroke, I

420
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: really understand, you know, much more kind of the challenges

421
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: that Americans have day in and day out. So you

422
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: say you're on the road to full recovery, but right

423
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: now voters really have to take your word for it.

424
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: We've asked for your medical records, We've asked to have

425
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: a conversation with someone from your medical team, to interview

426
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: your physician. You've declined those requests. Why I feel like

427
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: we have been very transparent in a lot of different ways.

428
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: When our doctor has already given a letter saying that

429
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm able to serve and to be running, I mean, respectfully,

430
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: that letter from your physician that was six months ago.

431
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Don't voters deserve to know your status now? Being in

432
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: front of thousands and thousands of people and having interviews

433
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: and getting around all across Pennsylvania. That gives everybody, and

434
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: the voters decide, you know, if they think that it's

435
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: it's really the issue. Pole Shoe Fetterman's lead is shrinking

436
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: against Republican doctor mem At Oz. It's now a toss

437
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: up race that could determine control of the Senate. Republicans.

438
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Focusing on crime, in particular Vetterman's votes on the parole boarding,

439
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Fetterman says he's trying to get as many criminals out

440
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: of prisoners can, including votes in favor of paroling convicted murderers.

441
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Are you soft on crime? Of course not. I'm actually

442
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: effective on crime and I believe in second chances and

443
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: I've run on that record. Meanwhile, Fetterman going after doctor

444
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: Oz on abortion rights. Doctor Oz likes to make fun

445
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: of me that I might miss a word, but you

446
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: know he's missed you know, two words, and that is

447
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: a yes or no on the National Abortion band. If

448
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: you're going to be our next senator, you have to

449
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: give the answer. Lester Fetterman told us he is committed

450
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: to debating doctor Oz on October twenty fifth, where he

451
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: will also be using closed, captioning, it seems like he's

452
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: always wearing a hoodie or some type of every man's jacket.

453
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: I guess he wants to really relate to he's got.

454
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: Is he really tall too, isn't he well? He used

455
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: to be well, he is six to eight. He used

456
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: to be four hundred and eighteen pounds. Oh wow, which

457
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: may have had something to do with the stroke. Oh yeah,

458
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: just happened in May. People who didn't effect he was

459
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: making fun of doctor Oz because Oz had this stupid

460
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: video he made in a grocery store where he was

461
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: complaining about the price of crue de tee, which is

462
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: which is a vegetable tray. M yeah, I didn't never

463
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: heard the word crudete until I moved to the West

464
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Side and I found out that when people come over

465
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: they bring food. Yeah, it's it's not vegetable. It's not

466
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: a vegetable tray. It's not Yeah. All the pretentious words

467
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: are always French. It's kind of funny. So anyway, he does,

468
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: he does this video about inflation, complaining about the price

469
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: secrud to day, and so Fetterman starts mocking Oz, saying, hey,

470
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: you know and where I come from, we call that vegetables,

471
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: and then Oz's campaign people put out a tweet saying, well,

472
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: if Fetterman had eaten his vegetables, maybe he wouldn't have

473
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: had a stroke. Wow, that's a pretty entertaining campaign. I'm

474
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna say tho, if you had a stroke in this

475
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: question is about your health. You're running against a doctor. Yeah,

476
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: what kind of doctor. He's a real doctor. He still

477
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: does no he in real life. He's a surgeon. I

478
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: believe it's a heart surgeon, and he still does surgeries.

479
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: But he's had this wacky show promoting all kinds of

480
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: alternative of remedies, and some of them were quack products, obviously,

481
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: because most alternative remedies are. You're saying, this is a

482
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: tough decision between these two if you're in Pennsylvania. Well,

483
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a middle of the road independent voter,

484
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: Yeah it is because you heard Federman. I mean, the

485
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: problem with him is not that he's reading off a screen.

486
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: I don't think that's such a big deal. The problem

487
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: with him is he wants to let out all the prisoners,

488
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: including the murderers. Yeah, second degree murderers. He believes chance.

489
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: In fact, that report was three minutes, and it was

490
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: about two and a half minutes on his screen reading

491
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: and his stroke, and it was about ten seconds on

492
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: he wants to let out murderers. It should be reversed.

493
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: This is what's wrong with everything. All right, we're coming

494
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: up Johnny ken KF I am six forty live everywhere

495
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app coming up after four o'clock. Well,

496
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: we're a no on your voter guide on Proposition thirty,

497
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: which is going to raise the income tax rates on

498
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: the wealthy people that make more than two million dollars

499
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: a year for electric car subsidies. It's a strange one

500
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: that came from the people a lift. John Kupal from

501
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association will be our guest right

502
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: after four o'clock. I figure they're a no on this too,

503
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: and but he's got a lot more detail to back

504
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: up their opinion. That's coming up in the four o'clock hour.

505
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: Biden still in California. Did you know what John I

506
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: just heard on the news. We have a small clip

507
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: of new audio where no one can figure out what

508
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: he means. It's very short here it is there's not

509
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: a single solitary Biden man that is younger than any

510
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Biden woman. There's not a single solitary Biden man that

511
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: is younger than any Biden woman. He's standing in front

512
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: of a billboard subthing about American family. So I'm trying

513
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: to even figure out the context of this week. There's

514
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: not a single solitary Biden man younger than any Biden playing. Again,

515
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: there's not a single solitary Biden man that is younger

516
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: than any Biden woman. That a voting. So all Biden

517
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: man is a voter. No or family members. Uh So,

518
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: all Biden women are older than Biden men. That's what

519
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like. That includes the mothers of Biden children. Wait,

520
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: there's not a single solitary Biden man that is as

521
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: younger than any Biden woman. No, it sounds like the

522
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: men are older. I'm confused. There's not a single solitary

523
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: Biden man that is younger than any Biden woman. There's

524
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: not a man younger than any woman. Okay, so all

525
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the women are older than the men. His wife's not

526
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: older than him though, But we're talking about Biden men

527
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: and women are subset. So all the daughters are families,

528
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: all the daughters are older than their fathers. Right, that's

529
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: what he's saying. I'm lost. Meanwhile, to get to bring

530
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: a story that's kind of connected to this, there's apparently

531
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: a big shortage of adderall. Do you know that John

532
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: used to treat attention deficit disorder ADHD. It's it's the

533
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: most fashionable thing to take down. Now this has been

534
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: around for years. No, but it's it's it's increased in popularity.

535
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Total prescriptions rose by sixteen percent of forty one point

536
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: two million last year from thirty five million in twenty nineteen.

537
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: The lockdown apparently has something to do with that, didn't it.

538
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: It's and it's it's Uh, it's an amphetamine. It is

539
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: an amphets it has a friend of mine who takes it. Uh,

540
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: he's got a d D. Explained to me how it works.

541
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: And I can't explain it to you right here because

542
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: it's counterintuitive. Amphetamine speed you up, but somehow for people

543
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: with add it slows their brain down. Okay, And I

544
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: don't know how it works, but he said for him,

545
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: he's that it does work and he's much more productive.

546
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: One maker of the drug, Teva Pharmaceuticals, has had continuing

547
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: manufacturing delays, and even those who make the generic versions

548
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: or alternatives are reporting problems with meeting demand. Apparently there

549
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: are calls every day to doctors from patients who say,

550
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: I cannot get this prescription filled for out of all

551
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: of the genetic equivalent, it does contain the stimulant amphetamine,

552
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: as John said, a controlled substance highly regulated. So it's

553
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: tough for the pharmacies to just turn around and carry

554
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: new brands highly regulated. Well, it's all over the school

555
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: for people who want to pay attention, right, who want

556
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: to pay attention to the laws of the rules, right,

557
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, especially around exam time. All the high school

558
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: students take it to stay up all night Graham for

559
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: the ams, and they say in this story that would

560
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: really may have popped it up. Is in the pandemics.

561
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: A factor is telehealth, So telehealth startup companies just began

562
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 1: prescribing it to patients, says in the story in unknown quantities,

563
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: I just telehealth people can just see it. I'll just

564
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: see somebody on zoo. Yeah, because I'll look at you. Yeah,

565
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: you look fine. What do you mean? Because the doctors

566
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: get kickbacks. Do you ever see that Hulu series I

567
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: told you about about the produced pharma dope sick. It's

568
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: called now. Oh you want to see how the how

569
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: medical doctors and the drug companies right, progressive bias. Oh, no,

570
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: it's it's it's the doctor. A lot of doctors are

571
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: crooked and they take kickbacks for prescribing medications, and that

572
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: that created all the Opioid act addicts. Four percent of

573
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: adults and eight percent of children supposedly have ADHD. Seems higher,

574
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, how many run diagnosed and a lot

575
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: of them don't go. A lot of them don't get treatment.

576
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: Roughly seventy percent of adults and forty percent of children

577
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: go untreated. But growing awareness is leading to a surgeon demand,

578
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: and apparently they're running into some shortages. All right. Coming

579
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: up next, we'll be talking to John Coopaul from the

580
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. A Proposition thirty would raise taxes

581
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: on the wealthiest Californians. Oh, this headline says to fund

582
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: climate programs. No, it's to buy electric cars for lift drivers,

583
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: is what it is. Yeah, I see, No, that's and

584
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: there's dopey. We've got then to some fire people that

585
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: are appearing in these ads. Oh, it's total corruption, I

586
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: tell you. The whole UH referendum system is being terribly abused.

587
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: It is corrupt, it is really being abused. We got

588
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: John Coopaul coming up. Mark Ronner has the news and

589
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,000
