It's 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: one thing of gas prices are so high, and as 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: a result, you've had to modify things, right, Maybe you've 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: cut back on other discretionary spending. You're not going out 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: to eat quite as much. Maybe you are not using 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: the air conditioner when you're driving because you want to 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 1: try to improve your gas mileage. I've done that before, 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: try to save money on fuel when when prices have 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: been really high. Maybe you're car pooling, all right, complain 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: about gas prices cool. In fact, I was reading a 32 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: story this weekend about a high school couple that was 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: I don't remember what town they were in, but wherever 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: it was that they were, gas prices were like seven 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: nineteen again Allen or something like that. It was a 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: couple of high school kids. They were saying, well, these 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: high school kids have decided they're going to start walking 38 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: to school now, and they were telling about how long 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: it was, and I thought, Okay, those are kids making 40 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: sacrifices for high gas prices. Gas prices aren't coming down 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: anytime soon. It's not going to change. It's just it's 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: not effect. The Hill has a story published this morning. 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Brent crude, which is the 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: international oil bent benchmark, excuse me, surpassing one hundred twenty 45 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: dollars a barrel. That's a two month high. So that 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: trips me out too. It's a two month high. It's 47 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: been higher this year, but the gas prices are the 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: highest they've been. Well, summer blend, you know, that's summer blend. Yeah, 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: I got to have that summer blend. You see, the 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: West Texas Intermediate is at one hundred and sixteen dollars 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: a barrel. Frustrating point for so many of us is 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: that gas prices we were literally higher than this in 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: two thousand, what was it, seven or eight, before the recession, 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: they were actually not even adjusting for inflation, they were higher. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: I think it got up to about one thirty five 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: forty six a gallon, And yet gas prices didn't get 57 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: as high as what they are right now, neither physically 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: nor adjusted for inflation. They excuse me, adjusted for inflation, 59 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: they were higher than what they are now, but apples 60 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: to apples they were actually lower. So why is it 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: that in two thousand and eight when gas price, when 62 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: oil is hitting one thirty five a barrel, we top 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: out at five and a half bucks. But here we 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty two. Gas prices oil price, excuse me, 65 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: are one twenty and we're up over six dollars. Because 66 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: it's it's commodity traders that end up setting the prices 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: on this, and they said it based on what we 68 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: are willing to tolerate. Right, So as long as we 69 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: keep putting fuel in the tanks and we don't modify 70 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: our behavior, there's no reason for those prices to change 71 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: at all. And this is why we end up getting 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: these stories about record profits for the oil companies. So 73 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: they're not coming down at all, they're not going anywhere. 74 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: In fact, we're hitting new highs. Now. This was from 75 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: let me see, I think this was from KTLA. Now 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: let's talk about those gas prices skyrocketing for weeks in 77 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: La County had hit a new high in average of 78 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: six dollars and twelve cents a gallon regular. And let 79 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: it the national average is four dollars fifty nine cents, right, 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: and prices are more expensive this Memorial Day airfare up 81 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: six percent from last year. Mid range hotel rates up 82 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: forty two percent from last year, but car rental rates 83 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: are down about sixteen percent last year. Best advice you 84 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: to consider all inclusive resorts. All Right, I don't. I'm 85 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: not gonna get any any more of the inflation talk 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: they're discussing there. I want to focus on the on 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the fuel prices and the oil prices. The gas prices 88 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: are outrageous, They're crazy, right, So I'm looking at the 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: story that KTLA has is they're talking about gasper and 90 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: we're all interested in it. Don't get me wrong, I'm 91 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: not saying don't complain about fuel prices. I'm saying, don't 92 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: cry to me when you're not willing to do anything. 93 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Don't don't see a camera and somebody with a microphone 94 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: wearing a logo jacket for a local TV station and 95 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: mull around hoping they ask you what you think if 96 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: you're not willing to do anything about it. So, as 97 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm reading the story that KTLA has, they found somebody 98 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: like this, right, they found a guy. His name is 99 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Marvin Harper from Phoenix. And here's the story. Get ready 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: to feel horrible for old Marvin. Here Marvin Harper of Phoenix, 101 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: his family's weekend travel plans or a double punch to 102 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: the wallet. Already, I'm getting frustrated because I'm hearing, oh, 103 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: his weekend travel plans. Oh okay, Oh, did someone die 104 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: and you need to drive there to their funeral as 105 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: someone on their deathbed and you need to try to 106 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: get there before they pass. Is it so serious that 107 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: we have to get there and there's no choice but 108 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: to pay the exorminate fuel prices and you have to 109 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: just kind of cross your fingers and hope that you 110 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: can pay the electric bill at the end of the 111 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: month because you've spent all your money on fuel. No, 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: his travel plans are because his college aged son and 113 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: daughter each have soccer tournaments in southern California and then 114 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: in Colorado, respectively. In other words, his son has a 115 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: soccer tournament in southern California, his daughter has a soccer 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: tournament in Colorado, and as a result, he and his 117 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: daughter will fly to Denver rather than drive because of 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: the cost of fuel, while his wife and son go 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: to California in her suv. In fact, not just the 120 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: wife and son going to California, he said, my mother 121 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: in law is going with my wife and son to 122 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: split that cost, because it's just too much on our 123 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: house hold. As he filled up the tank of his 124 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: truck at a Phoenix quick trip, the gas station there said, 125 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: we can't afford both of us to drive. That's the 126 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: bottom line. Gas prices are killing our household. I'm so sorry, Marvin, 127 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I don't know what you could possibly 128 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: do to overcome those incredible fuel prices. Both of your 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: kids on their traveling soccer teams, and of course the 130 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: need for you to have an suv in order to 131 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: get your daughter to southern California from Phoenix, rather than 132 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: having a more fuel efficient vehicle to do such a thing, 133 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: and you having to buy the airline tickets in order 134 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: to go with your daughter to Colorado. It's certainly not 135 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: an option for you not to do that. Certainly not 136 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: an option for you to just put your daughter on 137 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: a plane to Colorado and your son on a plane 138 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: to southern California not have to worry about the gas prices. 139 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it, Marvin. You're a 140 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: hero to me. They did find somebody a little more reasonable, 141 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: and I'm assuming that they must have worked with the 142 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: Phoenix station. That must be a partner station because the 143 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: latest one is from somebody in Arizona as well, says Laura. 144 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: Dina and her sons would typically go to southern California 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: around Memorial Day weekend to escape Arizona scorching heat. This year, 146 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: because it takes at least one hundred dollars to fill 147 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: up her truck, they're staying at home. Oh oh, maybe 148 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: we can have Laura go talk to Marvin and try 149 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: to figure out if there's any way, anyway at all 150 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: that we could overcome those fuel prices. Maybe your kids 151 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: don't Maybe they're not out of traveling soccer team this year. 152 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that's something we do. No, I did listen. And 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: maybe the whole deal is that the kids are on 154 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: the traveling soccer team because they're they're trying to turn pro. 155 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't say. Maybe the whole deal 156 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: is that they're part of the college soccer teams and 157 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: this is part of their offseason training. I don't know, 158 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: doesn't say. So, maybe the kids really need to play soccer. 159 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: But does dad have to go to Colorado? Does mom 160 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: have to drive an suv with her mother to southern California. 161 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: Or can the kids who are adults because their colleged age, 162 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: can they just take care of their own darn selves. 163 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Gas prices stink. But 164 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: don't complain to me that your luxury lifestyle is somehow 165 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: being inhabited because of fuel prices. When you're willing to 166 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: miss the soccer matches and you say can't afford Sorry son, 167 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: we can't afford to go to your matches in southern California. 168 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: Sorry daughter, we can't follow your traveling team to Colorado 169 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: because fuel prices are too high. No, what they're saying is, 170 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: gas prices are killing us. We can't even afford to 171 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: drive two cars to two separate states to watch our 172 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: kids play soccer. When stop whining, you're undermining the story itself, 173 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: and frankly, it's insulting to people who actually do have 174 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: to make a sacrifice because fuel prices are so high. 175 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: But we're in a we're in an entitled society. Isn't 176 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: that well? But I want it and now it's very expensive. 177 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: I can't believe this. This is making me sad. Oh, 178 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: how dare look? Gas prices make me sad? Yeah, whose 179 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: fault is that Biden's fault. Biden probably is making me 180 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: sad or just name whatever thing they don't like. They 181 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: have a politician they don't like. And then I was like, Wow, 182 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: this is this is Ted Cruz's fault. He's making me sad. 183 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: N Get off a bunch of whiners. You want real 184 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: trouble tribing a community member in Uvaldy. Tell you what 185 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: they're trying to deal with today is the events of 186 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: last week continue to play out and tragedy continues to 187 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: unfold in Texas. That is next. I'm Chris merrill in 188 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: for John A. Ken k If. I am six forty 189 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: eight's more stimulating Talk Live Everywhere in your Heart radio app. 190 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: The fallout from the shooting in Uvaldi, Texas continues. Probably 191 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: seen the stories of the ever changing press conferences. We 192 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: know that when stories first come out, and I hopefully 193 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: you're tolerant of it to some degree. I hope that 194 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: you are. I'm going to ask that you be Hopefully 195 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: you're tolerant with some of the early reporting, and I 196 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: mean from the journalists, from the officials. Hopefully you've got 197 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: a level of tolerance when you find out that the 198 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: information early on is not necessarily accurate. It's sort of 199 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: a fog of war situation where you've got a lot 200 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: of information coming in at once. And I hear people 201 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: complain about this all the time. They say, oh, you've 202 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: got to media. Media places are more interested in being 203 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: first than they are and being right. But that's that's 204 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: not always. I mean, sometimes it's a case, but that's 205 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: not always the case. And we saw this in Uvaldi 206 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: where we were we were hearing there's a shooting. We 207 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,359 Speaker 1: had some very responsible journalists who were getting official statements 208 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: from law enforcement on the scene, they were getting official 209 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: statements from the governor, and the understanding from those officials 210 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: changed as more information came in. But it is frustrating 211 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: for us as we're finding out that the information that's 212 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: coming in actually makes the law enforcement of that area 213 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: look worse and worse and worse officially in law enforcement 214 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: that we're not willing to engage, that we're not going 215 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: to go into that building, even though all of their training, 216 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: all of these are the ABC's of responding to these 217 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: mass shootings. This is how you do it. Then you 218 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: take the shooter out and if the if the if 219 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: the first one through that door is compromised, by the shooter, 220 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: then the second person steps up. I mean it is 221 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: it's laid out and it is almost warlike the directives 222 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: that the officers have in these mass shooting incidents, especially 223 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the mass shooting incidents at schools. 224 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: And then you find out that the officers did not 225 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: that they stood back, that they waited for somebody else 226 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: to show up, for the Border Patrol tactical team to 227 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: show up, and it's very frustrating. It's incredibly frustrating for 228 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: those on the outside looking in. And I'm not I'm 229 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: not even talking politics, and some of you are going 230 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: to want to talk politics, and you're gonna want to 231 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to say, well, the teachers should have 232 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: had guns, or you're gonna want to say, well, this 233 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: is this is a gun epidemic. I'm not even talking 234 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: about that. I'm just talking about the frustration that we 235 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: are feeling saying that, look, we're paying the people of taxes. 236 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: Of course, and you've AALDY specifically, but of course as 237 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: Border Patrol and their tactically. You know, it was the 238 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: team that actually breached the school there, rob Elementary, and 239 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: you've AALDY taxes that was US taxpayer dollars paying for 240 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: that right. So we are interested in making sure that 241 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: our tax dollars are going toward proper training and that 242 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: when the time comes to exercise that training, to use 243 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: that training, that it's being done properly in the hopes 244 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: of saving lives. Right, that's what we all hope. And 245 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. And the more stories that come out, 246 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: the more we realize that it really didn't happen. There 247 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: was a lapse, a massive lapse, and now the Justice 248 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: Department says that they're going to look into it as 249 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: well they should. However, there are other stories coming out 250 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: of this, out of Vivaldi, including you may have heard 251 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: of this of Mia Cirillo or Cirio, and I apologize 252 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: if I'm mispronouncing her name, a truly truly remarkable story 253 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: about this, this fourth grader who put blood on herself 254 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: and played dead according to her aunt. Now, this is 255 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: one of those stories that if this had come out 256 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: early on, we might expect, all right, maybe that's going 257 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: to be corrected. Maybe that's one of those stories that 258 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: just sort of came from lore. But it's a week 259 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: later that we're hearing about this almost not quite a 260 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: week later, on the day of the shooting, MIA's father 261 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: spoke with the local ABC news station while hold on, 262 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry me as aunt on her father's side 263 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: spoke with the local ABC station about what was going on, 264 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: and she said, with all the blood on her clothes 265 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: and everything, that just means she wanted to survive. She 266 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: did what she had to do to survive. She played dead. 267 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: We're at a point, and this is what is disgusting 268 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: to me. We're at a point in America where school 269 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: shootings have become such commonplace that we are training kids 270 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: how to cope with warlike scenarios. We go, my goodness, 271 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: these shootings are really awful. You know what we should do. 272 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: We should have single entry and you know what else 273 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: we should We should put up more fences, and you 274 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: know what we should do, We should have more lockdowns, 275 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: and every time we try to fortify and harden it, 276 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: and we should have armed guards trying to fortify a target. 277 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: All right, Schools are considered a soft target like churches 278 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: and malls and things like that, considered soft targets. In 279 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: other words, it is not a military base. And so 280 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: our solution is, let's turn into a military base or 281 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: a prison. So we're getting more and more to that 282 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: point where to keep our kids safe, we are putting 283 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: them in an institution that resembles more of a prison 284 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: than it does an educational facility. We're saying, single point entry, 285 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: just like if you had someone in prison that you 286 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: went to visit. We're saying, put up fences around the perimeter, 287 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: just like you might see around a prison. Make sure 288 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: there's armed guards, just like you might see at a prison. 289 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: The solution that we have discussed here, the solutions that 290 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: continue to come out, is teach these kids the modern 291 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: day equivalent of the duck and cover drills. Show teachers 292 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: how they can lock their doors and barrack themselves, and 293 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: make the schools resemble prisons. And then you find out 294 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: you've got fourth graders with the resiliency of someone who's 295 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: trapped in a foxhole during a battle who decides to 296 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: cover herself and her classmates blood and play dead. She 297 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: went into survival mode. And yet as this continues to happen, 298 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: we keep having more and more instances of people carrying 299 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: guns near schools, around children that decide that this is, oh, 300 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to be safer there's two reasons you carry 301 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: the gun. One, you think it's gonna make you safer. 302 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: Statistics show doesn't, but maybe you think it's gonna keep 303 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: you safer. And two you do it because you want 304 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: to feel power over someone else. No one is out 305 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: there carrying an ar fifteen nearest school because they're afraid 306 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: the government is going to become suddenly tyrannical. Right, nobody's 307 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: doing that because they're afraid. You know, I gotta go 308 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: pick my kid up from Show and Tell, but just 309 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: in case the government comes through with martial law, better 310 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: take my ar No, no, that's not happening. So they 311 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: carry the firearm because it either makes them feel powerful 312 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: or safe. Had the same thing happened in Victorville Here 313 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: on Friday, I see teenagers in custody after carrying loaded 314 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: weapons near the elementary school. A fifteen and seventeen year 315 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: old ran when the San Bernardino kind of sheriffs deputies arrived, 316 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: but we're arrested nearby. One of the suspects was found 317 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: in the backyard of a nearby home. Investigators say they 318 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: don't think the teens were planning on entering the school, 319 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: but you've got teams that are now at the Apple 320 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: Valley Juvenile Hole, that we're carrying loaded weapons near the school. 321 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: And why do they do that. It's because either it 322 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: makes them feel safe or it because it makes them 323 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: feel powerful. And yet we actually have issues in this 324 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: country with some of the some of the manufacturers or 325 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: some of the sellers that are marketing toward children. California's 326 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: looking at passing a bill that would allow lawsuits for 327 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: marketing guns to kids. In the same way that we 328 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: banned marketing cigarettes to children. Now we have to start 329 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: banning marketing guns to kids. That's the sad, sad world 330 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: that we live in right now. I wanted to make 331 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: mention of that, and I wanted to applaud the young 332 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: the young lady there from Vivaldi for her incredible brilliance 333 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,239 Speaker 1: at the time of her survival skills, I suppose, at 334 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: the time when it was most necessary, but also to 335 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: lament that we are in a situation where it is necessary. Friends, 336 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: something must be done. If that means fortifying, so be it. 337 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: If that means exploring some different legislation around firearms, so 338 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: be it. But we need to take action that moves 339 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: in a direction to make our children safer. I'm willing 340 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: to explore all of that. We must make a movement 341 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: in some direc action. Friends, all right, let's talk to sickness, 342 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: maybe COVID, maybe something else. That's next.

And let me see we've got oh 347 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: bad news for the governor. Did you happen to see this? 348 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: It's never it's never a matter of if, but when 349 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to the COVID. If you haven't had 350 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: COVID yet, I don't know how you threaded the needle. 351 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: But good on you, really, I mean that, good on you. 352 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: Chances are you're probably going to have about of COVID 353 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: at some point. Now. Governor Batman has got the COVID firms. 354 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. The man who most looks like Bruce Wayne 355 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: and all of America is Governor k Newsom testing positive 356 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: now for COVID. Gavin Newsom has tested positive for COVID nineteen. 357 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 1: I just said that, according to his office, the Governor 358 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: tested positive this morning and is experiencing mild symptoms. Newsom 359 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: will continue to work remotely and will remain in isolated 360 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: through at least next Thursday. The governor is fully vaccinated 361 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: and has received his two booster shot, all right, so 362 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: he has got to COVID. He is isolating in the 363 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: batcave to try to make sure he doesn't spread it 364 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: to anyone else. And mild symptoms. It looks like we've got. 365 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: In fact, I think Mark I was reading that. I 366 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: was reading conflicting stories. I think we had a story 367 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: that was airing that was saying that cases are down, 368 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: but hospitalizations are up. But I believe just last week 369 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: it was kind of the other way around. Let me see, 370 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: NBC was saying the number of COVID positive patients at 371 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: La County hospitals declined by twenty six people to four 372 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight the latest figures as of Sunday. 373 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: But I think they're actually up today. And a lot 374 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: of this comes to that that what is it the 375 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: BA two variant? Every time we turn around, there's another. 376 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I can't even keep up, and you've got two cases 377 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: dropping one day, hospitals eric cases going up one day, 378 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: but hospitalizations dropping. Then the next day, it's hospitalization is 379 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: going up, but cases are dropping. I've had the privilege 380 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: of talking with one of the leading epidemiologists in the country. 381 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: His name is doctor Bob Wakner, and doctor Walkner works 382 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: at University of California, San Francisco, and he is a 383 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: brilliant person. And I spoke with him last week. I 384 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: was doing some work up in the Bay Area and 385 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: his wife ended up with COVID nineteen. Now, by the way, 386 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who doesn't understand HIPPA is going to 387 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: scream about me violating HIPPA by talking about this. But 388 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: he spoke with me about it on the air, about 389 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: his wife not revealing anything, and he's used her as 390 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: a sort of an example of here's what happens, here's 391 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: how we dealt with it, and here's what can also 392 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: happen if you're on some of these other drugs. So 393 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: doctor Bob, who's a brilliant guy but also not stuffy. 394 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: Those are my favorite kind of smart people. Man. I 395 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: love that I'm super smart, but I'm also down to earth, 396 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: great guy. So I was talking to him about this 397 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: and he was saying this this new BA two or whatever, 398 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: this who omicron variant. Is this pretty nasty, he says, 399 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: And my wife got it. And I went, oh, no, 400 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: you're a guy who was taking He says, yeah, we 401 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: were taking all the precautions that we could, and still, 402 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, it got through. She was just like a 403 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: governor batman. She was. She was vaccinated. She was with 404 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: the two vaccinations from whichever, I don't know. She had 405 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: maderna adviser, and then she had the two boosts as well, 406 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: and still got the the the virus was still infected. 407 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: And he says, so we're we're social distancing. And I said, 408 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: how does that work for you in the house, because 409 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: I can tell you in my experience, when somebody in 410 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: our home got COVID, the rest of us got it. 411 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: It was just before they knew that they were positive. 412 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: We already sat around the dinner table and shared stories 413 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: of the workday, that sort of thing, and then everybody, 414 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: all five of us in the house, got got sick. 415 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: So I said, what what do you do? Then he says, well, 416 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: we're we're distancing in the house. She's upstairs. I'm downstairs, 417 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: and if she needs something, I take it to her, 418 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: I set it outside the door. I walk away she 419 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: opens the door and takes it in. I was like, Wow, 420 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: this is really I mean, he's really regimented in all 421 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: of this, and I was I was impressed by his discipline. 422 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: And then I talked with him about what they're called 423 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: rebound cases. If you're unfamiliar with this, A rebound case 424 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: is if somebody is getting the packs Lobit or the 425 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: packs lebit or however you want to say it. That's 426 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: the drug that's supposed to help out if you take 427 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: it early on well being that he knows he's on 428 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: the cutting edge of all this stuff. Doctor Wakner was 429 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: h he was able to procure the pack leaved and 430 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: he wasn't getting special treatment. You can get it too, 431 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: So he's his wife was taking this pack Leviit and 432 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: things were getting better. And then she tested negative. Now 433 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: a rebound case is when you take this and you 434 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: end your your I don't know what do you what 435 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: do you call that? Mark? What's the word I'm looking 436 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: for here? When you when when you your course? I 437 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: guess your course of drug. So she ended the course 438 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: of the pax livid and a couple of days later 439 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: she tested positive again. Now this is happening to people 440 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: that have taken this pax lavid. They're called rebound cases. 441 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: In other words, you get the viral load down really 442 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: low and your tests are showing up negative. But then 443 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: once you get off of that, this little bugger, this COVID, 444 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: starts to kind of rebuild itself. It is a real turdmonger, 445 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: is what this thing is. And he said, now my 446 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: wife is part of this. So he was talking about 447 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: the rebound cases. If you do have a rebound case, 448 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: the guidelines are you're going to need to isolate again 449 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: for another five days, and you know, make sure you 450 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: test negative. So you may ask yourself, well, why would 451 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: I take this drug in the first place, If I'm 452 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: going to have to if there's a possibility that I 453 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: end up having a rebound case and then I have 454 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: to isolate again for five days, why would I do that? 455 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: Because here's your choices. You can get COVID, and your 456 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: risk are being hospitalized, especially if you've been vaccinated and 457 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: boosted and with a new variants, your risk of being 458 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: hospitalized is very low. Your risk of dying is even lower. Right. 459 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: But but people say, well, yeah, but if I'm going 460 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: to take that packs levid in order to try to 461 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: overcome the illness faster and prevent myself from being hospitalized 462 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: or potentially worse than But I'm gonna get it again anyway, 463 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: then what's the point. The point is, if it works 464 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: well for you, you may get past that COVID in 465 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: very short order, and you may be less likely to 466 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: have long term COVID effects. However, if you have a 467 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: rebound case, it may take another five days after that. 468 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: In other words, if you get COVID and you don't 469 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: take pack Leavid, you may be isolating for ten days. 470 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: If you take pack Leavid and you isolate for five 471 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: days and then you test positive again with a rebound 472 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: case and you have to isolate for another five days, 473 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: it costs you ten days. It's worth the risk because 474 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: there's no downside to it. The downside of pack levid 475 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: is if it doesn't work the way that it's intended, 476 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: the consequences are gonna be the same as if you 477 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: didn't have it in the first place. If it does work, 478 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: you may get over this thing a whole lot faster. 479 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: All right, cool, I'm done with that right because I 480 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: had that sucker, I had the delta. Oh you kids, 481 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: these days with your Ohmicron, you don't even know what 482 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: it was like back when in Delta was the real 483 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: monster out there. I remember Delta. I started sounding like 484 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: an old Vietnam vent right talking about you don't know 485 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: what it was like there. I was curled up under 486 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: the covers. I was cold, but I was also hot. 487 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: It was itchy, but I was also calm. Yeah, my 488 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: ears were ringing, but I had a heightened noose system 489 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: of alert. So I had. I had the Delta variant, 490 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: and I had it for a week before I finally 491 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: got tested because I was trying to be in denial. 492 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: And then it took me another another week week and 493 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: a half after that of dealing with it before I 494 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: kind of overcame the thing. So in my mind, get 495 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: your boost, get your vaccine, and get boosted, and then 496 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: take this pack a little bit if you can. Some 497 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: of you are saying to me, well, I wait a minute, 498 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: what about this monkey pox? What about the monkey pox? 499 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: Do I need to worry about the monkey pox? Probably not, 500 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: probably not, but don't ignore it. I guess the World 501 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: Health Organization's top monkeypox expert. How'd you like that on 502 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: your business card. It's one of those things where she 503 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: was the monkey pock the biggest monkey pox expert in 504 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: the world, and nobody cared until finally she has, Until 505 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: finally we have a little monkey pox outbreaking. Everybody's like, wow, 506 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: let's talk with doctor Lewis. She's a monkey pox expert 507 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: who even knew that existed. Doctor Lewis did says that 508 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: she does not expect the hundreds of cases reporting to 509 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: date to turn into another pandemic. Did acknowledge, however, that 510 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: there are still many unknowns about the disease, including how 511 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: exactly it's spreading, and whether the suspension of mass smallpox 512 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: immunization decades ago may somehow be speeding the transmission. And 513 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: why is that Because the immunization for monkey pox is 514 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: smallpox vaccine. Yeah, so if we thought that we eliminated 515 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: smallpox and we stopped giving the vaccine, now we've got 516 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: a different variation of smallpox. We're not really very well 517 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: prepared for it all of a sudden. Good news is 518 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: vaccines out there. We can get it, all right. I 519 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: gotta talk political gossip because most politics in America is 520 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: nothing more than tabloid gossip. And boy do we have 521 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: some good ones. I mean, it is like that, boy 522 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: meets Elvis in Venezuela all over again. It's fantastic. It 523 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: is next Chris Merrill in for John and Ken k If. 524 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: I am six forty Live everywhere in your Einheart Radio app. 525 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm Chris Merrill. I watched politics when I was younger. 526 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: I used to be a very conservative radioist right and 527 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: I would watch politics to find out what the what 528 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: the Libs were doing to destroy American As I got 529 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: a little bit older, I thought, you know what I need. 530 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: I need to dive a little deeper into this political 531 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: philosophy and not just settle up with different teams. And 532 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: so I moved way more to the center. I found 533 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: that as I started whingdal weighing issues individually based on 534 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: my own understanding of the world, I wasn't just one 535 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: side or the other. I ended up becoming very very centrist. 536 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: And so I really look at different issues and I 537 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: try to think, how can I be logically consistent and 538 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: and what do I think is in the best interest 539 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: of the people at large. So now when I see 540 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: these stories, it used to be I would see a 541 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: story about Nancy Pelosi's husband being arrested for a DUI 542 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: in Napa, NBC had that story Nancy Pelosi's husband busted 543 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: for drunk driving. I learned the House speaker husband, Paul, 544 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: was booked into the Napa County jail last night, just 545 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: before midnight. Jail record show, Paul Pelosi is now facing 546 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: dui charges. You bailed out this morning. Now. We reached 547 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: out to the Speaker Pelosi's office about this matter. In 548 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: a statement there's both person told us the Speaker will 549 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: not be commenting on this private matter, which occurred while 550 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: she was on the East Coast. By the way, it 551 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: appears this was not Paul Pelosi's first alcohol related to arrest. 552 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: Quote record show he was arrested on similar charges back 553 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and served three years probation for alcohol 554 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: related reckless driving. So he just gets off of his 555 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: probation and now he's he gets rung up again. He 556 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: doesn't knight in the drunk tank in Napa, which I 557 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: think when you get I could be wrong, but I 558 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: think when you get booked in Nappa they actually hand 559 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: you a taster of wine. I believe that's part of 560 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: the deal that the Sheriff's department there has with all 561 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: the different vineyards. I think it's it's kind of how 562 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: it works, so, oh, you're here for duy, take a 563 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: judge off that kind of how that works. In the 564 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: old days, I would look at this and I would go, oh, 565 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: I can't believe this is you can't take care of 566 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: business at home, and then how can you take care 567 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: of business from the country. But I don't know, because 568 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: I realized now it's all tabloid tabloid spectacle, because how 569 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: many of us either have a duy or know somebody 570 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: close to us that has a duy and we consider 571 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: them to be a respectable person who error. Now, in 572 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: the case of Nancy Pelosi's husband, this sounds like it's 573 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: the second time. At least. We don't know how many 574 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: times he's been stopped and not brought in. Could be more. 575 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: We don't have any idea. I'm not going to speculate, 576 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: but it's possible the guy has an issue. Also, if 577 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna go drinking and you're gonna go driving eight Dingleberry, 578 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: don't do it on a Royal Day weekend. This is 579 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: when we know that they've got saturation patrols out there. 580 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he was not alone in the drunk 581 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: tank in Napa when they brought him in for the dui, 582 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: not alone. But again, it's tabloid it's tabloid politics. But 583 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: I guarantee that half of this country is gonna be 584 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: screaming about her husband's dui tonight and tomorrow you go 585 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: on Twitter and it's gonna be littered with a bunch 586 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: of finger pointing a terrible person who was leading the country, YadA, YadA, YadA. 587 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: And then on the other side of this, the other 588 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: side of the tabloid politics today is Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, 589 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like Marjorie Taylor Green. I 590 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: love Marjorie Taylor Green. I wouldn't let this nutbag watch 591 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: my kids. I wouldn't let her watch my dog. I 592 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't let her anywhere within anyone that I near, anyone 593 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: I love. But look as a as a talk show host, 594 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: I love this nutter because Marjorie Taylor Green is always 595 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: going to give me material. Always. Remember when she said 596 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: that we needed to watch out. The government was going 597 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: to come get us, the that Biden wanted to have 598 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: as Gaspacho police come after us. Yeah, that's fantastical. Gaspacho police. 599 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, you're a supers too warm. 600 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to take this away and throw away 601 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: the key, right, I mean, this is what I love that. 602 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: So then you've got Jorie Taylor Green who did her 603 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green Live Facebook cast, And forget the obvious 604 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: goof which I will point out because it's tabloid politics 605 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: and I think it's hilarious. But then the rest if 606 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: it's just a little kookie too. I swear to you, Georgia, 607 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: you would let whoever you want, but you make sure 608 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: you keep her around. Look, she as long as she's 609 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: not on a committee, not actually making laws, She's just 610 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: an example of Jerry Springer in Washington. That's what she is, right, 611 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: This is missus Springer goes to Washington. That's what happens 612 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: with Marjorie Taylor Green. She's nuts. Listen to what she 613 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: had to say here about the government getting ready to 614 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: zap you inside your body. You have to accept the 615 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: fact that the government totally wants to provide surveillance on 616 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: every part of your life. They want to know when 617 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: you're eating, They want to know if you're eating a cheeseburger, 618 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to 619 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree dish. 620 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what was that again? Bill Gates is growing 621 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: fake meat for some reason? We hate Bill Gates now, 622 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: but what is it? Meat that grows in a peach 623 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: tree dish? And a what peach tree dish? Okay, Bill Gates? 624 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: Hold on, let me just see if I can just ample. 625 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you guys could hear that. It's 626 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: a little quiet, wasn't it? Okay, so Bill Gates wants 627 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: you to eat Evidently she's she's mad at plant based burgers. 628 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't believe. Do you guys know? Does Bill Gates 629 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: have shares in any of the the Impossible Burger or 630 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: near Meats or anything else like that? Do you have 631 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: any I don't think he does. Cood be mistaken, no idea, 632 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: but I think you're thinking of Norm Crosby with regard 633 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: to Marjorie Taylor Green. Is that too old a reference 634 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: for our listeners? Yeah? It is for me. Yeah, Norm Crosby, 635 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: the malapropism comedian from Yeah when we were kids? Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, 636 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: now okay, you're taking me back now, I'm not that old, 637 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: but she was? Okay, it's meat grown in a what 638 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: hang on here, let's see this peachtree dish. What is 639 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: that called mark peach tree dish. It's a peach tree dish. 640 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: It's in a peach tree dish. Okay, all right, it's 641 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: a peach peach tree dish. Okay, a peach tree dish. Okay. 642 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: So Bill Gates wants you to eat fake hamburger and 643 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: that's grown in a peach tree dish. And why is that? 644 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: So you'll probably get a little zap inside your body. 645 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: And that's say no, no, don't eat a real cheeseburger. 646 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: You need to eat the fake the fake burger from 647 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: the peach tree dish, the fake meat from Bill Gates. Um. 648 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: They probably also want to know when you go to 649 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: the bathroom and if your babbel movements are are on 650 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: time or consistent? I mean, what else do these people 651 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: want to know? I kind of want to know. I mean, 652 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't we all know if our bms are consistent or 653 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: on time? Honest to God? On my to do list 654 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: tomorrow is make an appointment with gastro and turologists for 655 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: that exact reason. And now Marjorie Taylor Green is telling 656 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: me I shouldn't do that. No, no, you can't do that. 657 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: Don't go see your gastroid turologist, because that's exactly what 658 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: the government wants you to do. They just want to 659 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: eat those burgers from the Okay, Yeah, god, I love it. 660 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: I love tabloid politics, whether it's Nancy Pelosi's husband getting 661 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: a dui or Marjorie Taylor Green just being nuts or 662 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: oh what's this other one? Oh yeah, Andrew Misty, we're 663 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: sending me stories today and they were like, oh, did 664 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: you see Kim Kardashian is endorsing Rick Caruso for la mayor? 665 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: So let that guide your vote. Yeah, here's what she said. 666 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: I love this. Recently met with Rick Caruso, who's running 667 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: from mayor in Los Angeles, and I don't typically endorse 668 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: anyone in politics when it comes to my hometown and 669 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: there's people that can really make a difference. I think 670 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: that he really can help with the crime in our city, 671 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: which is such a big issue. It is such a 672 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: big issue, she said. Also the homeless issue, it's such 673 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: a problem, and I think that with him he can 674 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: offer a better path to a better life for people 675 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: that are homeless in California. And Los Angeles. I really 676 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: believe in what he stands for, and I was super 677 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: inspired by him, and I really believe in him. So 678 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: I guess that's a key endorsement in the mayor's race 679 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: and Caruso got it. So congratulations all the way around 680 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: to Abelaide Politics. We'll take a moment and remember. Next 681 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: it's Chris merrill Ane for John and ken O ka if. 682 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere in your iHeart radio app.
