So we got three 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 3: hours to spend together today. Hopefully it will be an 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: easy listen and we're happy to have you with us. 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 3: Lots of stuff to talk about, including later on, are 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 3: you ready for mask mandates to come back? Some companies 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 3: are starting to roll them out, so we'll get into that, 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 3: and a whole bunch of other stuff, including perhaps the 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 3: final days of Jimmy Carter. Of course he's almost ninety nine, 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 3: but his grandson said, we're getting to the very end 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: of that. But we want to start to circle back 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: to the catastrophe in Maui, because, as you know, President 19 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: Biden made the trip finally there yesterday and he was 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: performing a modern American tradition, an obligation of presidents to 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: be the shoulder to cry on when catastrophes happened. This 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: is now almost a constitutional requirement like the State of 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: the Union address. If some disaster happens, that's big enough 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 3: the president must go. Otherwise, the president is a bad person, 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: an indifferent and callous, heartless you know what. And of 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: course when he does show up, there are people saying 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 3: he's only here to exploit it politically, he doesn't really care, 28 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. There's really no winning in these situations. Meanwhile, 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: ABC correspondent Alex Stone has the very latest from Maui. Alex, 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 3: how are. 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: You, Haylor Doug doing well? And yeah, So the President 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 2: spent about four hours on the ground, landed, then went 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: in to wurd de Lahaina, then gave some remarks with 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: other officials, and went. 35 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: To a community event. 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: There was a live Hawaiian music, prayed with the local residents, 37 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: and then that was some others and then it was 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: back to vacation in Lake Tahoe where he is today. 39 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: But the big headline coming out of the effort today 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: there was a headline that they are one hundred percent 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: done searching. 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: But then there was a little bit of a side 43 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: note to that. 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: That is, of single family homes or single level homes, 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: one story homes not of multi level homes, not of 46 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: commercial buildings. They're only now going to begin doing those, 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: So this is not everything. We were getting a number 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: up until now every day, and it was going up 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: thirty nine percent, fifty two percent, seven of an overall number. 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: Now they're saying, well, it's one hundred percent minus all 51 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: of these other buildings that they still have to do. 52 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: So the governor a few minutes ago came out to 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: our team saying the numbers are going to go up, 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: the number of dead, based on the buildings they still 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: have to go through. 56 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 4: He said, this, we do expect to see a lot 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 4: more loss of life. It's going to be tragic. I 58 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: want to brace everyone for that, and then we will 59 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 4: come together and do we can to rebuild our lives. 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: He says it's going to take about a week or 61 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: two to search the multi level and commercial buildings, and 62 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: that it's going to be delicate. They've got to get 63 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: through the multiple floors as the buildings burned and then 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: collapsed floor by floor on top of the other floors, 65 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: and anybody who is inside the buildings that the buildings 66 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: collapsed onto them. So he says this is going to 67 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: be a while, that yes, they're done with the single 68 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: level homes, but a lot more work left to do, 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: and he said. 70 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: Those buildings are very fragile and they have to use 71 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: some additional equipment to peel back some of the levels 72 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: of floors that collapsed. So in order to do it right, 73 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: that takes a little bit more time. In some cases, 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: they'll have to suspend dogs and firefighting personnel over the area, 75 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: which is a very delicate, dangerous process. 76 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: So the mayor dog is saying there's around eight hundred 77 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: and fifty people who are still missing. The fear is 78 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: that at least some of those are in the remains 79 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: that they now have to get into those restaurants and 80 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: art galleries and apartment buildings and homes that had two levels, 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: all of that they're not in there yet. They're beginning 82 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: that today where it is what about ten in the 83 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: morning right now. 84 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: The FEMA teams. 85 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: Are getting ready, but they've got a lot of work 86 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: left to do, probably a week to two weeks left 87 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: of searching in the buildings that may have had a 88 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: lot of people in them. 89 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: Alex who's actually physically doing the searching. 90 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: It's FEMA teams La County Search and Rescue from Washington, Nevada, Maryland, 91 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: Indiana has gone local fire departments that are all part 92 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: of the FEMA task forces. 93 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: We have seen over the years, you know, with our 94 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: own catastrophes. After the North Roge earthquake, for instance, the 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: video being sent I was obviously a very big incident, 96 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: but it looked like California had been flattened. You know, 97 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: you see a shot after shot of you know, flame 98 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: shooting out of ruptured gas lines, et cetera. And freeway 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: overpasses collapsed, et cetera. What does Maui look like when 100 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: you get outside of Leahina. 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: If you are flying in, and in fact, the White 102 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: House Pool reporter yesterday said as they were flying in 103 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: that they didn't see anything. If you're flying in, you 104 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't notice a thing. Leahina is the only area. There 105 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: were some other fires on that same day. There are 106 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: some burned spots here and there that if you're driving 107 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: around you'll see in the upcountry and other parts. But 108 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: if you don't fly over the postage stamp that is Leahina, 109 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: everything looks totally normal. And there's the wet side of 110 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: the island, the airport side that looks very green and lush. 111 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: There is a dry side of the island where Cantapally 112 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: and Wileya are and they are very dry and brown, 113 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: and until you get to Leahina nothing has burned. And 114 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 2: so that is why the governor last night, to the 115 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: dismay of some on the island, there has always been 116 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: a fight over tourism on Maui said, Maui is open. 117 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: Please come back, not Cannapally, not the west side, not 118 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: Lehina obviously, but if you're going to Whileya or around 119 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: the airport, or you know a couple other areas where 120 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: there are resorts and hotels and airbnbs, come on out. 121 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: They need the money. They just got through the pandemic. 122 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 2: They were hit hard by the pandemic. So the industry, 123 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: the tourism industry is saying, Governor, we are ready send 124 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: people back out here. So we put out that announcement. Now, 125 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: if you're staying in Kannapoly where many people, if they've 126 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: got something booked Unmaley, they're probably there. That's where the 127 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: West End and the High End and Merry at Vacation 128 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: Club and Sheridan that the Governor believes it's probably gonna 129 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: be October before that area is really ready to go 130 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: maybe late October, but if you're anywhere else or you're 131 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 2: looking to do something, Whereas a week ago, you know, 132 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: everybody on the island kind of looked at you, like, 133 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: what are you doing here? 134 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: Get out of here. Now that the governor is saying, come, well. 135 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 3: This is This is exactly what happened after nine to 136 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: eleven when then Mayor Giuliani New York was saying, come 137 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: to New York, go to the restaurants, taking a Broadway show. 138 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: It's a bloat. This was an economic attack, a terrorist 139 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 3: attack on the city of New York in addition to 140 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: the attack that it represented on America. And part of 141 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: the recovery was to resume normal commerce. And for a 142 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: place that is based the economy is based, let's face it, 143 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: on tourism. It's hugely impactful for people who have lost 144 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: their homes and loved ones and additionally their income. 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: Well totally, although you do have the population on most 146 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: of the Hawaiian islands, but especially on Maui, angry that 147 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: tourists would already be coming back. There has been a 148 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: lot of anger toward outsiders, whether it be the media 149 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: or even FEMA. So there is a rumor running around 150 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: right now on the island that FEMA is there to 151 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: take your land, that if you take their money, the 152 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: seven hundred dollars, which there's also anger about that that 153 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: it's only seven hundred dollars. Right now, what do you 154 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: do in Hawaii with seven hundred bucks. That's not one 155 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: night in a hotel, that's not much gas, not much food. 156 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: But if you take their seven hundred dollars, and then 157 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: you are giving up your. 158 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Land to FEMA. 159 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: And so FEMA is now having you go out there 160 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: and get a message out there that they are not there. 161 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: Here's how they're putting it. The FEMA folks are saying, look, 162 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: we're not here for it. 163 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 5: We're here to be an asset for you, one of 164 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 5: the many options that you can take advantage of. So 165 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 5: when you hear these ridiculous rumors out there, nobody wants 166 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 5: your land. 167 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: By law, we don't do that. 168 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of misinformation that's out there right 169 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: now as well. 170 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: But one of those big rumors going. 171 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: Around the people truly believe is keep FEMA away from you. 172 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: If they come to talk to you. They just want 173 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: your land. The federal government is trying to take the 174 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: land and develop it the way that they want. FEMA saying, look, 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: we're here to help, well, trust us, but that trust 176 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: isn't there. 177 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: Look, this is the tenor of the times we live in. 178 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: There's always been a certain amount of that that exists, 179 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: even going back to the early days of American history, 180 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: the distrust of authority, but it's fueled by social media 181 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: and just the tenor of the times, the parent the 182 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: fear of authority. 183 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: And the history of Hawaii and the conflict and fear 184 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: of imperialists coming in. I mean, there's so much there, 185 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: such a history and a culture that has people unsure 186 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: of those who are coming in. 187 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,119 Speaker 1: But now that's this room we're running around. 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: All right, Alex as always, thanks so much. That's ABC's 189 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 3: Alex Stone reporting from Maui. 190 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 191 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 6: AM six forty. 192 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: Doug mcatarre in for John and Ken coming up later 193 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 3: on this hour. Are you ready for the mask mandates 194 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: to return? Some companies starting to require their employees to 195 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: mask up again. So we'll get into that and so 196 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 3: much more throughout the course of the afternoon. In the meantime, 197 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: just a quick follow up on the Maui story. So 198 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: President Biden went to Maui yesterday to be the shoulder 199 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: to crime. And this is a ceremonial requirement of modern presidents. 200 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: You didn't have to do this in the horse and 201 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: buggy days, you know, the pre Wright Brothers' days weren't 202 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 3: obligated to hop an iron horse and get out to 203 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 3: the scene of some catastrophe somewhere. But in the modern 204 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: era and TVAH, if a president doesn't show up and 205 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: show empathy after a part of the country some horrible 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: shooting or catastrophe has taken place, you're a heartless you 207 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: know what. But then there are always going to be 208 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 3: x number of people because it's a politician who don't 209 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: like that politician who are going to say, well, they're 210 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: not doing enough, or they got there late, what took 211 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: them so long. And we kind of talked about this 212 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: a bit yesterday that presidents have learned that they're an 213 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: in position onto emergency first responders in an affected area 214 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: to just show up in the middle of a catastrophe. 215 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: So they wait a few days, and then of course 216 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: the people who don't like them were out there with 217 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: picket signs and they were out there yesterday saying go home, Joe, 218 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 3: what took you so long? Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 219 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: And when you looked at the pictures, of course it's 220 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 3: a handful of people, I mean really a handful of people, 221 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: and most of them were carrying Trump twenty twenty four banners. 222 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: And this, by the way, happened when Donald Trump went 223 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: to Places two. Anytime anything happened and Donald Trump went 224 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: anywhere when he was president, the anti Trump people were 225 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: out in force, usually vast numbers, you know, yelling at 226 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: the motorcade, et cetera, et cetera. The thing is, why 227 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: do we bother to report? This was page one of 228 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: Yesterday's New York Post because of the ideological band. They 229 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: wanted to make it like all Hawaiians, those laid back 230 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: Hawaiians had gotten up in arms because Joe Biden dared 231 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,119 Speaker 3: to show up. Guess what, Hawaii's going to vote Democratic 232 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: eighty five percent in the next election. So it's not 233 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 3: really a story, but this has become the way news 234 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: gets reported. I saw this other story totally unconnected, the 235 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: Air Force Academy in Colorado. They got a football team, right, 236 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: big time college football team. And like everybody, they like 237 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: to sell merchandise, helmets and jerseys, et cetera. So they 238 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: have alternate jerseys and they've got a design for this 239 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: coming season that honors the Doolittle Raiders from World War 240 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 3: Two when Jimmy Doolittle flew B twenty fives off an 241 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: aircraft carra and they bombed Tokyo right shortly a month 242 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: after Pearl Harbor, and it did very little damage, but 243 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: it was a psychological blow to say we can come 244 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: get you too. And the helmets have B twenty fives, 245 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. So everybody at the Academy likes it. 246 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: It's a point of pride for the Air Force. It 247 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: was a great, amazing mission for the Air Force back 248 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: in the day. And what does the headline say, Air 249 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: Force unveils football uniform honoring World War Two rate on Japan. 250 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: Not everyone is happy. 251 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. 252 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: Let me ask this questionaireic and when is everybody happy 253 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: that anything? 254 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: Never, especially in sports too. 255 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: In anything, walk down the hallway and try to get 256 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: your coworkers to agree on whether you're getting from Panda 257 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: Express or Chipotle. Nobody is always happy. You can't get 258 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 3: a group. But for some reason, and I don't know 259 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 3: why this has happened. 260 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Well, the headline didn't even like identify rules. 261 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: It's people on Twitter, it's you know, some we just 262 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: have to we just have to stop reporting this. I mean, yes, 263 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: if there is some kind of a groundswol and I 264 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: think people can feel it when there's a genuine blowback 265 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: against something. But we've gotten to the point where we 266 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: report stuff where we feel obligated to just say. And 267 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 3: part of this is because of the political culture that 268 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 3: we're living in that if you're in the news business, 269 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 3: for instance, if you're the Lester Holt Show on NBC 270 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 3: and you do some story and you don't have at 271 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: least a sentence in there that says something about the 272 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: opposite point of view, then those people will say, oh, 273 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: you're in the tank for filling the blank. You know, 274 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: you're you're just doing you know, softballs for whoever it is. 275 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: So you know, they end up going to Twitter or 276 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 3: ex or whatever it's called this week. 277 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: It's Twitter for me forever. 278 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway, I just saw that and thought, jeez, that's weird. 279 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: It's like, we got to stop it now. The football 280 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: helmets some not everybody is happy. Well I want to know. 281 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: I want to know who the people are who are 282 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 3: always happy. All right, So this story is really getting 283 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: crazier and crazier. As you know. There's a there's a 284 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: diabetes drug called ozempic that's an injectable and it's very 285 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: important for people who suffer from diabetes. 286 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 287 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: But apparently one of the side effects the kinds of 288 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: things that they was like good cause this and this 289 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: and this and this and this and weight loss and 290 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: people weight loss. Oh, it can cause weight loss. So 291 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: people started going to the doctors, uh, you know, whether 292 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: they're just waving a twenty dollar bill or whatever and 293 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: getting ozempic even if they weren't diabetics, to the point 294 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: where some diabetics are actually having trouble getting their prescriptions filled. 295 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: But people lose weight from these drugs. And the company 296 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: that makes this stuff, Novo Nordics, it's a Danish company, 297 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 3: has made so much money from ozempic and this other 298 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: drug called Wagovi that it's actually it's actually changing the 299 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: value of the Danish currency. It's brought so much money 300 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: into Denmark. The market value of Denmark's biggest company has 301 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: risen by more than a third so far this year, 302 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: to four hundred and nineteen billion dollars, bigger than the 303 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: country's gross domestic product of about four hundred and six billion. 304 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: So the company that makes this drug, you know, that's 305 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: a diabetic drug, but it's being used as weight loss. 306 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: Now here's the thing. Can you imagine Look at how 307 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: much eating we're doing in America? Now, can you imagine 308 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: if we ever actually come up with a pill that 309 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: you can you can knock back a double's cheese stuffed 310 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: pepperoni pizza and throw a pill down. 311 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 7: Oh my god, that would be amazing. I would have 312 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 7: dessert five times a day every day. 313 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: We would end up having our jaws. We'd have carpal 314 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: tunnel of the jaw from chewing. But here's the thing, 315 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: I don't care. These are the finest minds that science 316 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: can offer up, and I'm still betting that the American 317 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: stomach can out eat the best minds in science. 318 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 319 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 6: A six forty. 320 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: Doug McIntyre in for John and Ken. We have a 321 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: busy second hour as well, and we're going to talk 322 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: about really an alarming spike in suicides, including three young 323 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: people at Harvard Westlake who committed suicide apparently in a 324 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: very short period of time. Try to get behind what 325 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: all that is. And we went from Sputnik with the 326 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 3: Russian space program to Kaputnik as a rocket hit the moon, 327 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: and we'll get into that as well. And Donald Trump 328 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: is supposed to surrender in Georgia on Thursday, so we'll 329 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: talk with Andy Field about that coming up next hour. Meanwhile, 330 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 3: are you prepared for the comeback of mask mandates? 331 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: Now? 332 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: I saw this stary as and Okay, here we go. Lionsgate, 333 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: one of the big Hollywood studios, sent an email to 334 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: staff asking them to mask up on certain floors of 335 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: at Santa Monica office after several employees caught the virus. 336 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 3: And they're also asking employees to conduct self screening before 337 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 3: coming to the office. And this is all because of 338 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: the new variant, which is called eg dot five. It's 339 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 3: become the dominant variant of coronavirus in the US, and 340 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: the CDC website says hospital admissions are up fourteen percent 341 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: nationally this week. Now. I have been traveling a lot. 342 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: I was at a wedding last Saturday, a week ago. 343 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 3: Saturday in Boston, and then I was at a funeral, 344 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: I was at book signings. I've been on planes, and 345 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 3: I've been at KFI and guess what I'm getting text 346 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 3: messages and emails from people saying, by the way, I 347 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: just thought you should know tested positive for COVID. So 348 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: it's out there, it's floating around. But here's the thing. 349 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: I'm not sure that lions Gate wants these people to 350 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: mask up because of COVID. I'm thinking they want people 351 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: to mask up so they can get George Cloney into 352 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: Lion's Gate without getting in trouble with zag Aftra. You 353 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: think that's a possibility, Deborath, Yeah, I do. They could 354 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: bring a listers into do looping or something to do 355 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 3: some pickup scenes. Absolutely, and as long as they could say, well, 356 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: it's a public health thing that wasn't a major movie stuff. 357 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: But the truth is is that I don't think that 358 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 3: we're ever going back to what we had. I really 359 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: don't think politically, there is a politician who could survive 360 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: the kind of level of mandates that we went through 361 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: in the early days of COVID, when no one knew 362 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: what we were dealing with. When we were treating COVID 363 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: as if it was mustard gas. And by the way, 364 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: it was really I mean, you know, people of retrospectively 365 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 3: sort of brushed this aside as if it was nothing. 366 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: It was just like the sniffles. There were a lot 367 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 3: of people, including my mother in law, who from COVID 368 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: very quickly in three days. I mean, there were millions 369 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 3: of people have died from COVID, So it wasn't nothing. 370 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: But now that we have vaccines and we have better treatments, 371 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, I just don't think 372 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 3: society can go back that the politics and not just here, 373 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 3: by the way, this was global. This was every place 374 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: that tried accept in China, of course, where they just 375 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 3: showed up an apartment buildings and put padlocks on the doors, 376 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 3: chains and pedlocks and they locked the people in the buildings, 377 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: and I like to talk about that. So the reality is 378 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 3: is that this is going to be with us for 379 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: a long long time, and we're just going to keep 380 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: having variants and we're just going to have to deal 381 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: with it because unless something shows up, which could happen 382 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 3: that is unbelievably toxic that we don't know what to 383 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: do with. There's no way that any local elected official 384 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: is going to be able to go down the road 385 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 3: that we once went to. And you know, we did 386 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 3: things that retrospectively were just silly, and I think we 387 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 3: knew that they were silly at the time. Remember one 388 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 3: of the things that got Gretchen Wilder, the governor up 389 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: in Michigan, made those nuts who were going to kidnap her, 390 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: they made it crazy. At one point Michigan had banned 391 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 3: people from renting fishing boats and going out on lakes 392 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: to fish. It's like, well, you know, that's kind of 393 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 3: socialized isolation. I mean, you've got the six foot rule 394 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 3: there pretty much in hand, so that with certain things 395 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: Shannon was talking about, you know, being banned from cutting 396 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 3: the lawn, you know, mowing the lawn unless the COVID 397 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 3: virus was going to get through the grass catcher and 398 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: blow out onto your neighbor's face or something with the 399 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: grass clippings. So for the most part, we've had to 400 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 3: make you know, we take a risk every time we leave, 401 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: and we just have to live with it because we 402 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: can't go back. We we just couldn't afford it. And 403 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: in fact, the psychological impact of everything that we did 404 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: going through COVID is in some ways, I think more 405 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: dramatic even than the biological impact of it. And we're 406 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: talking about I think there's probably a direct connection to this, 407 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 3: the story that we're going to do later about the 408 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: rise in suicides. I've got a story in the stack 409 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 3: to doing that story about the huge spike in drug 410 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: and alcohol consumption and abuse by middle aged Americans, by 411 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 3: people who are in their forties and fifties, all of 412 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 3: the people who are suffering for depression or have social anxiety, 413 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: and even people are blaming the abrid behavior that we 414 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: see everywhere, including you know, throwing stuff at performance. Cardi 415 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: b flung her cell phone back at some idiot who 416 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: threw something at her. And I think Pink, the singer 417 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: Pink had one of the strangest homages. She was on 418 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 3: stage and someone threw their mother's ashes on her while 419 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 3: she was performing. Boy, I'm sure mom didn't have that 420 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: in her will. And one guy I can't remember his 421 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: name because I don't know the name of any pop 422 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: pop stars if they're still alive, I don't know who 423 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: they are. But the bottom line is is that one 424 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: guy got hit in ahead with an empty vodka bottle, 425 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: and in the an NBC News The Lester Holtz Show, 426 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: they had to report on this, and somebody actually said, well, 427 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: I think it's because of COVID people. They're not used 428 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: to being in public gatherings anymore, so they don't know 429 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 3: how to behave properly. 430 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 6: But really, you. 431 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: Mean, before COVID people knew that it's not okay to 432 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 3: throw an empty vodka bottle at the performer. You just 433 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: spent big MUCKs, big money to see. 434 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 7: And they forgot, you know, just three years later, how 435 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 7: to behave. 436 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: I forgot that maybe throwing a vodka bottle at the 437 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 3: performer is probably not the right thing to do when 438 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: you're in society. So you know, people have used all 439 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 3: kinds of excuses on this, and I doubt that that's 440 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: actually what's up when it comes to the bad behavior there. 441 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: But we are in a One of the things that 442 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 3: has death struck me as you move around the country 443 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 3: is because we got used to living our life on 444 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 3: zoom or in almost total isolation, that there's no question 445 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: that people have forgotten how to dress. I mean, it 446 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: used to be if Uncle Carl showed up in the 447 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: middle of the block in his pajamas. The family used 448 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: to quickly go out and grab them and try to 449 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: pull them back into the house, you know, and say, oh, no, 450 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: Uncle Carl, stay out of the Harvey's Bristol cream in 451 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: the dry sack on the rocks. You can't walk around 452 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: the neighborhood in your pajamas. People are on planes and 453 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: their pajamas. They're in Gelson's and their pajamas routinely. I 454 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 3: mentioned yesterday that I was at the bank, a rare 455 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 3: in bank appearance for me and the teller working in 456 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 3: the bank. I thought it was somebody who had been 457 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 3: standing in line with us. I mean she was wearing 458 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: a T shirt that you know, she wore it to KFI. 459 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: You would raise eyebrows, and you know how radio people dress. 460 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: Look at what I'm wearing. Yeah, you always look the 461 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 3: mess will I am wearing the phone that was uncalled. 462 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 7: People thought I was I was pantless today. I'm gonna 463 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 7: have to show you my pants. Yeah, it was a 464 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 7: big to do. I'm really gonna come to the radio 465 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 7: station not wearing pants. 466 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: But people, well, you know, we have dressed down Friday. 467 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 3: We got pantless Tuesday. You know why not Yogi Bear 468 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: got away with it. Donald Duck never wore pants, and 469 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 3: you know, he got into Disneyland, so it can happen. 470 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 3: But the bottom line is is that we a lot 471 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: of the things that used to be sort of just 472 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 3: accepted societal behavior just went away because we lived for 473 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: a couple of years in these little bubbles where we 474 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: did things. For instance, a lot of Zoom meetings were pantless, 475 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 3: especially if you were a legal uh you know, uh, 476 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: a legal analyst on CNN. No names mentioned, but you 477 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: know who we're talking about. So the bottom line is 478 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 3: is that now people are out and about and they've 479 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 3: brought some of the he's dressed down every day concepts 480 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: into their regular life and they're acting out on it. 481 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: And that's why we are so reluctant as we're talking 482 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: to Alex Stone before about people think that FEMA is 483 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: offering seven hundred dollars in relief money to buy up 484 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: the burned land in Lina and take it for the 485 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: federal government. We are so distrustful. I can't imagine the 486 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: local mayor or governor or president in the future that 487 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: can issue mandates that can shut down the US economy 488 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: and tell people they can't drive, or they can't go 489 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: out and survive. Politically, that ship has sailed. 490 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 491 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 6: AM six forty. 492 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: Doug mcatarre in for John and Ken. Next hour will 493 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: give you a chance to win a trip to Vegas 494 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: to see the iHeartRadio Music Festival. We're also going to 495 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: talk with Andy Field. President Trump is supposed to surrender 496 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: in Georgia on all those charges, and of course the 497 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 3: big Republican debate coming up that he's skipping. And we're 498 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: going to talk about the Russian spacecraft that smashed into 499 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: the Moon. They didn't mean for it to smash it 500 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 3: the moon. They meant for it to land on the moon, 501 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 3: but had a little problem there. So we'll get into that. 502 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: And this is a really sad story. We're going to 503 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: ask some real questions about why are so many people 504 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 3: offering themselves suicide way up, including three young people who 505 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 3: tragically took their lives here locally. We'll talk about that. 506 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: Jimmy and Rosalind Carter are entering the final days according 507 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: to Josh Carter, who is Jimmy Carter and Rosland Carter's grandson, 508 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: and of course they're very oldly. Jimmy Carter's almost ninety 509 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: nine years old, and boy, you know, he has been 510 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 3: out of office for so long that I wonder what 511 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 3: percentage of Americans were not born when Jimmy Carter took office, 512 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 3: Because he took office in nineteen seventies, it's almost fifty 513 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: years go. That's just hard to believe. But according to 514 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: Josh Carter, now Roslind Carter apparently is suffering from dementia. 515 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 3: Josh Carter says, Jimmy, he's still fully Jimmy Carter, he's 516 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: just tired. I mean, he's almost ninety nine years old, 517 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 3: and I certainly understand that I'm tired. I'm not ninety 518 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 3: nine years old. So anyway, we'll be watching that story 519 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: as time marches on for everybody, even presidents. Right. Hey, 520 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 3: if you are out and about on September sixth and 521 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: you're looking for something to do, my lovely bride Penny 522 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 3: Piyser is doing an on core performance of her wonderful show, 523 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 3: and it is wonderful, called Sons from Suburbia at the 524 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 3: Stephanie Fury Theater as part of the Los Angeles Independent 525 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 3: Theater Festival, and that's going to be September sixth and 526 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 3: the twentieth at seven pm, So go track that down. 527 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 3: That's Soner Suburbia. And as long as I'm shamelessly plugging stuff, 528 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: I have this book out that I went through the 529 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: trouble of writing. It's called Frank's Shadow and you can 530 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: get it at Barnesanoble dot com or Amazon dot com. 531 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: You can even get signed copies through my very own 532 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: website at Doug McIntyre dot com if you are inclined 533 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: to do those kinds of things. Max Munsey and Freddie 534 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 3: Freeman's homes were robbed. Now, this has been happening a 535 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: lot with ballplayers in particular, and I think one of 536 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 3: the reasons is that everybody knows where they're going to be. 537 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 3: Their schedules are constantly posted. You know that they're going 538 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: to be in Cincinnati for three and then they're going 539 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 3: to Atlanta for four, etc. Or even if they're home, 540 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 3: you know that between the hours of seven o'clock and 541 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 3: eleven o'clock they're going to be on the ballfield. Right, 542 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: probably a lot earlier than that with BP and stretching, 543 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: and you know, knock it back a couple of Coldwan's 544 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: in the clubhouse. That's the old days when Mickey Mannle 545 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: and the boys were still playing. That's when ballplayers were ballplayers. Anyway, 546 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 3: the point is that, you know, when you are publicly 547 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 3: identified as not home, then it makes your home much 548 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: more vulnerable. And this is why I never understand why 549 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: people post their vacation schedules on social media. I don't 550 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: understand why people are posting that, you know, only three 551 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: more days till my dream vacation in Greece. And then, 552 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, people who are trolling the internet say, great, 553 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: three more days until I got myself a B and 554 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: E you know in this Aveinento Valley or wherever you 555 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: live in Orange County. You know. But when we do that, 556 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 3: we post these things without thinking about what are the constable. 557 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of parents now who are hip 558 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: to this to identity theft, have been coached. They've been 559 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: told don't post pictures of your newborn baby, which is, 560 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: you know, a reflex that we all want to do. 561 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: You got you've got your first grandchild, or your first 562 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 3: child is born, you want to share it with your 563 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 3: friends and with the world. Here's you know, welcome Doug Junior. 564 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 3: And here's a picture a little Doug Junior, Okay, has 565 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: already got that unfortunate smirk on his face that will 566 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 3: haunt him for his entire life. But whatever, you put 567 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: the picture up with the birth information, how much you 568 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: know the full name and there's the birthweight, what hospital 569 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 3: Doug Junior was born in? And guess what Your baby's 570 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: identity gets swiped before you get him on from the hospital. 571 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: That is so sad. It's true though, because all of 572 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 3: a sudden, I know, boy, there's a new social Security 573 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 3: number being entered into the system and it'll be years before 574 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 3: you start needing that social Security number. So identity thieves 575 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 3: can grab your baby's identity before you've even gotten a 576 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 3: kid home. So it's a new world. You know, Back 577 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: when people rode horses, there are a lot of horse thieves, 578 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: But now data is everything and the more you post online, 579 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: the more vulnerable you become. All right, let's get the 580 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 3: latest from Deborah Mark in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 581 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: Hey, you've been listening to the John and Ken Show. 582 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 2: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six 583 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 2: forty one pm to four pm every Monday through Friday, 584 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: and of course anytime on demand. 585 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: On the iHeartRadio app,
