1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory from the KFI newsroom is joining me right 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: now because Steve, if I can just do a brief 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: summary here, we had an officer in Riverside County was 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: shot in Harupa Valley last week, and we found out 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more about the suspect. The suspect, we 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: learn had a very violent history and was actually there 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: was a bench worn out for his arrest, the second 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: bench warn I believe, because he was arrested on the 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: first bench warrant and then he was released and then 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: he didn't show up for his next sentencing trial for 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: what would have been his third strike in California, when 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: the officer Cordero, Isaiah Cordero was his name, pulled him 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: over for a traffic stop, I don't I don't, well, 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: we won't know, but we don't think that he knew 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: that he was pulling over a violent criminal and somebody 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: that was avoiding a third strike sentencing. And that's when 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: this guy shot Officer Cordero and then took off. The 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: other sheriff's responded and about three dozen cars followed him 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: down the highway and when they finally were able to 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: disable the truck of the shooter, he then started firing 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: at those officers who ended his life on the side 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: of the road that day, Did I did I get 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the gist of the story here story not the gist 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: of it. 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And in that I will I will tell you 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: though that you know, Cordero is a motor officer meeting 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: he was on his motorcycle. It's a coveted position in 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: law enforcement. It's one of those specialized units typically both 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: sheriffs and police departments. And Cordero had pulled him over. 30 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: And here's the thing, we don't know quite yet what 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: the reason was he was pulled over. We don't know 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: what the if there was a traffic violation or it 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: was going to be a warning of some kind. But 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: there it was a pickup that this guy was driving, 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: and so that could have also played into whether or 36 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: not Cordero called, you know, I wanted some sort of 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: background on this guy, or a license plate or anything 38 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: like that. So if he had no idea or knowledge 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: of this of this individual's past or background. 40 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: It was most likely. 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: Law enforcement sometimes like that unless there's a probable cause 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: that there's some suspicion, like it looks like a vehicle 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: that's wanted or a vehicle that was stolen. Then they'll 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 2: then they'll try to do some sort of a check 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: on the plate right away, but until he gets the 46 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: license of the individual driving so he could go back 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: and check that license, that's when he would have been 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: able to figure out that he had a warrant out 49 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: for his arrest, an active warrant. So it's not clear 50 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: exactly what prompted the traffic stop and we'll we'll find 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: that out pretty quickly when they go back to review 52 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: tapes and the and the scanner chatter and whatever the 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: call was. But but now you know, the fallout from 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: this has been pretty interesting because Sheriff Chand Bianco, Riverside 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: County Sheriff minced no words on the night Cordero was 56 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: shot and killed, and he said that the judge involved 57 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: in this case was the same judge in both instances. 58 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: He should have been sentenced twenty five years to life 59 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: on the first incident on the first incident rather, but 60 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: instead is bail was set and he was allowed to 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: go free, and then the second incident he was also 62 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: given bail. Both times, prosecution fought against it and the 63 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: judge decided to lowre bail and allow him to go out. Then, 64 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, didn't. He failed to show up to 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: one of his court appearances. But today it looks like lawmaker, 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: at least one of them out of Corona, Republican Bill A. 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: Sale has now said he is going to look at 68 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: a new legislation that will change the way all of 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: this is going to work. He said he was pretty 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: disturbed by this. And the perpetrator, he said, was on 71 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: his third felony strike, and a judge had the discretion 72 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: to give this career criminal or reduced bail and released 73 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: him on our streets instead. So this man Bill as 74 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: Saie from Corona has vowed to introduce legislation so he 75 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: said something like this might not happen again. At the 76 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: same time, Prop forty seven, as we all know, is 77 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: one of those reform packages. There's a Democratic lawmaker here 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: in Torrance that wants to actually increase penalties and accountability 79 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: and amend that proposition. Lawmakers on both sides of the 80 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: aisle here in California now are starting to realize that 81 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: the crime spikes are having a big impact on the 82 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 2: communities all up and down the state, and lawmakers starting 83 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: to realize and they're getting a lot of pushback from 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: their constituents, and then this right here, this kind of 85 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: an incident when you have a clear connection between a 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: judge's discretionary decision, based whether or not it was based 87 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: on reform or not, that kind of decision has fatal consequences, 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: and I think you're going to see more and more 89 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 2: legislation go this direction. 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Steve Gregory out of the KFI newsrooms, Steve, it 91 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: seems very peculiar to me that a judge has that 92 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: discretion at all, especially when you're talking about somebody that 93 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: has their third strike. And if I'm understanding this correctly, 94 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: he was found guilty, convicted of his third strike, which 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: was a pretty violent third strike too. It was a 96 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: false imprisonment and I think he stabbed a canine officer 97 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: and this sort of thing. He was going to go 98 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: away for minimum twenty five years, probably much longer, but 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: then he was rather than being remanded to custody, he 100 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: was allowed to bail at that point, to post bail 101 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: at that point. It seems very strange to me that 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: our system allows for somebody who's awaiting sentencing on something 103 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: so significant that a judge would have any discretion in 104 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: such a manner. We're not talking about somebody that has 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: been convicted of a white collar crime that's waiting sentencing. 106 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: We're not talking about somebody who's from the Varsity Blues 107 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: scandal that's a waiting sentencing. We're talking about somebody that 108 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: just got sentence for violent crimes, their third strike, and 109 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: so a very violent felony's attached to this. It seems 110 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: strange that the judge would even have that sort of 111 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: discretion at all, regardless of any reform. I don't think 112 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: anybody's out there saying, well, we need to have this. 113 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's not fair to make somebody wait for 114 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: their sentencing behind bars. No, that's that's perfectly fine. 115 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: Well, and we're talking about forty four year old William McKay. 116 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: Sheriff Bianco said that this McKay had a violent history 117 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: going back to pre two thousand and that it's just 118 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: been basically a lifetime of violent crime. And you could 119 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: tell by looking at Sheriff Bianco, and I've known him 120 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 2: for a long time, he's. 121 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: He's a straight shooter. 122 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: And he had that look on his face like he wanted, 123 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: you know that if this guy hadn't been killed in 124 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: a shootout with SWAT deputies that Bianco wanted to take 125 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: him by his own hands and kill him. He had 126 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: that look on his face. And because this was a 127 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: senseless sense death, well who. 128 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: Could blame the guy? I mean, he's so frustrated and 129 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: angry and it is absolutely senseless. So, Steve, do we 130 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: know who the judge was in this case? And I'm 131 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: not asking that we docks anybody. I'm not asking for that. 132 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: We all, you know, I'm not asking about that. But 133 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: are we are we finding out who the judge was? 134 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: Are there questions being posed of that that jurisprudence is 135 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: well exercised? 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: Because of the time of year this has happened, you know, 137 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: everything's pretty much come to a standstill in our society 138 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: for the next you know, the last couple of weeks. So, yeah, 139 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: she has been identified as Kara Hudson from the Rancho 140 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: Cucamonga branch of the county court system. She was re 141 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: elected to the bench in June and it's been a 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: judicial officer since twenty oh seven's. This is according to 143 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: San Bernardino County Superior Court documents. 144 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so elected to the position, is there is there 145 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: any supervision is there any recourse? Is there oversight and 146 00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: a judge of the situation. 147 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's going to be a presiding judge presumably for 148 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: the county court system out there, much like there is 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: here in the Los Angeles County Court system. You'll have 150 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: a presiding judge. Now, if there's a formal complaint filed, 151 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: that's what's going to have to happen, and that'll come 152 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: from the District Attorney's office. It could it could originally, 153 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: or it could originate from the Sheriff's department. I guess 154 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: via the DA's office. But I I believe the sheriff 155 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: or the excuse me, the DA's office would have to 156 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: file some sort of a complaint if they haven't done 157 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: so already. 158 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. 159 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: What the the the details are behind the scenes on that, 160 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: because prosecutors are fighting for this stuff all the time, 161 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: and they're and they're shot down constantly by judges. But 162 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: you know, in a case like this, where you've got 163 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: an individual who's got a history of violent crime, and 164 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: then you have to sit there and weigh all the 165 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: factors and it wasn't like a first defense, and you 166 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: know he'd already you know, screwed up many times before then, 167 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: then if a judge does that, is that judicial misconduct 168 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: for instance? So I think this is something the district 169 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: attorney is going to look especially given the circumstances. The 170 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: DA Jason Anderson excuse me, that wasn't Jase Damson Histrin 171 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 2: had come out fairly quickly after this had happened, and 172 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: he had released a statement very quickly after the death 173 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: of Deputy Cordero. So you know, the DA is pretty pissed. 174 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: Off about this, understandably, So, I mean everybody involved is 175 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: upset about what's going on, and also Steve for clarification. 176 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: My understanding is there was a bench warrant after he 177 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: didn't show up for sentencing on this third strike. He 178 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: got picked up and then was released on bail again, right, 179 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: probably the same judge. See to me, I don't know 180 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: how you argue that it's not judicial misconduct at that point. 181 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has already shown he's a flight 182 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: risk and then you give him, you give him another 183 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: chance to fly. That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. 184 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, before we go real quick, I do want to 185 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: mention that there has been a fundraiser put together by 186 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: the Riverside County Sheriffs Department. It's called Help a Hero. 187 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: It's at helpahro dot com. It's all one word help 188 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: hero dot com for the family of Deputy Cordero. And 189 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: I believe they've already raised over forty five thousand dollars. 190 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: So I just wanted to put that out there before 191 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: we stop. 192 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fantastic.

We'll see the clouds 219 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: rolling in once again, and by the time we head 220 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: into Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures dipping back down into the 221 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 3: lower sixties. And we've got a good front that will 222 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: give us measurable rainfall once again for Wednesday and Thursday. 223 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: Next Friday, January sixth and seventh, partly cloudy, skies dry 224 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: for now.

Friday and Saturday 231 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: maybe not quite so bad, but the rest of it wet, wet, wet, wet, wet. 232 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: But look, you said, drought, it's good. Wherever you go 233 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: to the drift, we'll take it, right, We'll take it. 234 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: You'll take it, I'll take it all happily take it, unless, 235 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: of course, you're trying to drive in it. And this 236 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: this is where people get a little foolish. Now, I'm 237 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna dog on you if you get 238 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: stuck in one of those flash flood things right where 239 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: you're you're driving along and all of a sudden, who 240 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: would have known. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not talking about that. 241 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: But if you're somebody that's driving through standing water or 242 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: moving water even worse, that's just uh, that's just foolish. 243 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: And frankly, there ought to be a law how to 244 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: do some some flood rescues here over the weekend, Eric, 245 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: can you play that flood rescues audio from NBCLA. 246 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: Funk storm brought heavy rain to southern California over the weekend, 247 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: leading the several rescues. In San Bernardino County, three people 248 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 4: had to be rescued when they're jeep there got stuck 249 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: in fast moving waters in Lattle Creek yesterday morning. Cruise 250 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 4: had to tie ropes around a woman to get her 251 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 4: and the others to safety on the other side of 252 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 4: the bank. They were cold and wet, but otherwise they 253 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: were not hurt. 254 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: And in Orange Conty. 255 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 4: Two cars got stuck in floodwaters on the fourth street 256 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: off rap on the fifty five in Tustin. This happened 257 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: late Saturday night. When firefighters got there, one woman he 258 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 4: saw there it was sitting on top of the car. 259 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 4: Four people were inside. Crews had to use a rescue 260 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 4: boat to bring three of them to safety. The others 261 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 4: walk through the high water all on their own and 262 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: thankfully no one there was hurt. 263 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, I have to address that I 264 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: don't know what the reason. I don't know if somebody 265 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: had a disability or what the reason is, but it 266 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: is a little remarkable to see the rescue workers simply 267 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: take a rubber boat and walk out to the car, 268 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: put the person in the raft and walk them back 269 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: while the others walked to safety. Again, I don't know 270 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: if the if the individual had to be floated out 271 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: of their head, disabilities or something of that nature, but 272 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: it just seems like one of those where you go, 273 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: I guess we'll just walk. Uh, don't drive into it. 274 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: Ding bats Again. I don't know the circumstances. I only 275 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: know the information you just heard from the rescues. But 276 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: when you have three people trapped in little creek, they're 277 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: in a jeep and they say waters quickly rose up 278 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: around them. Okay, this can happen where you have flash 279 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: flooding right where all of a sudden you know you're 280 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: you're on a road and then the road's not there. 281 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: Happens Okay. But I also have seen a lot of 282 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: people that, especially it seems jeep drivers. You guys have 283 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of overconfidence and you go, oh, it's 284 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of water. I got my jeep can 285 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: handle it. Well, just drive through it. Saw this on TV. 286 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: I can do it. And then you don't, and you 287 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: don't because you don't have any experience driving through it, 288 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: and you think, well, how can I get any experience? 289 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: Un Listen, I just drive through it. Don't do that, 290 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: ding Bat. It's situations like those, and I'm not saying 291 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: these people are guilty of that. Again, I don't have 292 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: any more information than you do, but I do know 293 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: there are some people that just drive through the floodwaters. 294 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: They drive right on through, and then we have to 295 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: have rescue crews go out and get them. Here's the deal. 296 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: I lived over in Arizona for a while and they 297 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: have a law in Arizona which which I like. They 298 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: don't enforce it very often, but they have a law 299 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: that I kind of like, and it's the stupid Motorist law. 300 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: And it comes back to something they say, which is 301 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: just basic safety knowledge, and that is turn around, don't drown. 302 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: If you see water covering the roadway, don't drive in it, 303 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: and don't drive in it because you don't know what's 304 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: under it. That's one thing. You also don't know if 305 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: if that water has got you know, maybe you can't 306 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: see it, but maybe it does have current. If that 307 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: water is moving, that's not good for your vehicle. Your 308 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: vehicle can be washed away very quickly. So the law 309 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: that they have in Arizona is that if you put 310 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: yourself in danger by driving into a flooded area, especially 311 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: when that may have moving water, and of course they've 312 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: got flash floods in the summertime during their monsoon seasons, 313 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: especially in the desert areas. If you decide that you're 314 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: going to drive through one of those things and you 315 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: have to be rescued, you get a bill. Oops, it's 316 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: called the stupid motorist law. If you're a dummy, we're 317 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: billing you for your rescue. I think it's one hundred 318 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: percent appropriate. If my car breaks down on the side 319 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: of the road, I got to pay for the tow truck. Right. 320 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna come and tow me for free, because well, 321 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know what car was gonna break down. No, 322 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: but if you are such a dingbat that you know 323 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: you're putting yourself at risk and then you have to 324 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: be rescued, why shouldn't you pay the bill. The problem 325 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: is that almost never enforced that. Almost nobody in Arizona 326 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: gets a bill. It's something that they should and we 327 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: need to look into that too, because we know where 328 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: those flooded areas are. We know when we get heavy 329 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: rains where it's going to flood. Their signs up do 330 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: not cross if water is in the roadway, and still 331 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: people are like, well, I can make it, no turn around, 332 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: don't drown. And if you if you decide you're going through, 333 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: we're charging you for that. There's no reason our tax putting, 334 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: our tax dollars should go to bailing your dumb butt 335 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: out of there. That's my grumpy segment. Did your Chris 336 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: merrill in for John and Kent k if? I am 337 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: six forty We're live everywhere on your iHeartRadio app. Are 338 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: you working for a living or living for work? That 339 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: is next? It happened across this article. Incredible producer Morgan 340 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 1: was helping me with the show and she says, you know, 341 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: did you see this one from the Wall Street Journal, 342 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: the headline your co workers are less ambitious bosses adjust 343 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: to the new order, And I thought, all right, what's 344 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: this one now? Huh? Well, it seems to me that 345 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: the whole story was sparked by the comments made by 346 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: the former Home Depot the co founder for Head of 347 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: Home Depot, who said that nobody works, nobody gives a 348 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: damn and then said something to the effect of socialism 349 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: is ruining America. Here's what the Wall Street Journal says. 350 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: Since the onset of the pandemic, several employees have asked 351 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: for more pay when managers asked that they do more work. 352 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: According to one person, the president of zed or Z Digital, 353 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: which makes digital ticket scanners. They said that the company 354 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: has recently moved about twenty remote engineering and marketing roles 355 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: to Canada in India, saying it's easier to find talent 356 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: who will go above and beyond. This is the one 357 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: who said, it's not like it's not like it was 358 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: not Excuse me, it's not like that before COVID at all. 359 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: Many white collar workers say the events in the past 360 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: three years have reordered their priorities and show them what 361 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: they were missing when they were spending too much time 362 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: at the office. Now that normalcy is returning, even some 363 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: of the workers who used to always be on and 364 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: always striving finding themselves eyeing the clock as the day 365 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: winds down, saying no overtime worker even taking pay cuts 366 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: for better work life balance, all those selfish sobs. That 367 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: is disgusting. What kind of a society do we live 368 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: in where people want to be paid more to work more, 369 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: or people that are willing to take pay cuts to 370 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: work less is just vile In November, a survey of 371 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: more than three thousand workers and managers by a software 372 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: firm Qualtricks, thirty six percent of workers and managers said 373 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: their overall career their ambitions had waned over the past 374 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: three years, compared with twenty two percent who said their 375 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: ambition had increased, and nearly forty percent said that work 376 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: had become less important to them in the past three years, 377 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: and a quarter said it had grown more important. Ass 378 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: kissers even in the hard changing fields like law on finance, 379 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: hard charging field excuse me, like law and finance, where 380 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: all nighters aren't uncommon. Some professionals are objecting to the grind. 381 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: A group of first year analysts at Goldman Sachs Group, 382 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: not including George Santos, who of course worked there, complaining 383 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: to bank leaders last year that they were working an 384 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: average of ninety five hours a week and the job 385 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: stress had harmed their physical and mental health. Goldman, in response, 386 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: said they would hire additional bankers and more strictly enforced 387 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: boundaries around working on hours. Why should they even have 388 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: to It's a good job. You want to make more 389 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: money just because you're doing more work? What do you woke? 390 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: I think? What we're being here is a shift in power. 391 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: I do listen if and I'm the first one to 392 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: say that when you sign a contract, that's your contract 393 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: to go to work, and every day that you show 394 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: up to work, you're honoring that contract. Right, People always, oh, 395 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go to work. You're not gonna do it. No, no, no, 396 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: You signed a contract in the same way that it 397 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me to know if my employees or excuse me, 398 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: if my coworkers make more money than I do. Uh, 399 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: it bothers me if somebody I think is crap makes 400 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: more money than I do. But ultimately, how much money 401 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: I make is my business. That's what I agreed to 402 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: work for. And every time I come in and I 403 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: clock in, I'm agreeing to work for that money. However, 404 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: when I say that I'm going to work for such 405 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: for X amount of money, I'm not giving you my life. 406 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: You get me for those eight hours a day. You 407 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: don't get me for twelve hours a day at an 408 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: eight hour rate. In the same way that the company 409 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: would be happy to charge me more for a product. So, 410 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: and I always love I love simple analogies. You go 411 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: to McDonald's and you want a cheeseburger and they say, okay, 412 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: well you want a mcdouble. It's three bucks. Okay, great, 413 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: three dollars. I say how much for a mcdoubele. They 414 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: say three dollars. I say, here's three dollars. They say, 415 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: here's your mcdouble. Boom, transaction complete. Now if I go 416 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: to McDonald's and I say how much for mcdoubell and 417 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: they say three dollars and I say, good, give me two. 418 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: They'll say that's six dollars and I say, no, no, 419 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: it's three dollars. They'll say, no, no, you've got two mcdoubles. 420 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: And I say, well that's all. That's too bad because 421 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: I ordered a mcdouble. You told me mcdouble was three dollars. 422 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm giving you three dollars, to which I will say, yeah, 423 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: but you got two. That's dollars. And if I kept 424 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: arguing that, you would say, Merrill, you're an idiot. But 425 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: if you go to work, especially salaried employees, and I 426 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: have run into this so many times. You go to 427 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: work and you've got a salary employee who works forty 428 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: hours for their give me an arbitrary and a seventy 429 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: five thousand a year, they make seventy five thousand dollars 430 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: a year, they work forty hours and the boss goes, Ooh, 431 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: we got a project that needs to be done and 432 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: it's going to require some overtime. Is the employer or 433 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: the employee wrong to say you don't pay me overtime? Now, 434 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: if you're if your salary is based on hours and 435 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: you can add those hours, then maybe do get paid overtime. 436 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: But if it's not, and the employer has a big 437 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: project coming up and they want you to stay for 438 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: that project, you have to ask, why do you need 439 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: me for that project because you only paid me for 440 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: forty hours. In the same way that I don't get 441 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: to ask for two mcdoubles for the same price as one. 442 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm not running a sale on my time. And it's 443 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: interesting to see the Wall Street Journal run an article 444 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: that has people complaining about how lazy the workforce is 445 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: now that they're just not willing to put an extra time. 446 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: Employees have asked for more pay. When managers ask that 447 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: they do more work, what's my job description? What are 448 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: the hours? Anything that is egregiously outside of that that 449 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: that's not that's not what you that's not what you 450 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: hired me for. Ran into this with my son. He's 451 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: working a retail job and they want to give him 452 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: a quote unquote promotion, but it's not really a promotion. 453 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: He would get an extra fifty cents an hour, all right, 454 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,239 Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't make much money. He would get 455 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: an extra fifty cents an hour, but he would have 456 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: to do more one on one with angry customers. And 457 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: he said, it's not worth my time. And they said, well, yeah, 458 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: but you'd be over people. And he goes. So they said, 459 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: we give you an extra fifty cents an hour. He said, 460 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: it's not worth it. It's not worth it. Is my 461 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: son lazy? Or does he know the value? He said? 462 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: He said, I would do that job if they gave 463 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: me a dollar fifty more an hour, And I said, 464 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: I think that's reasonable now. I also pointed out to 465 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: him that there's value in building your resume and climbing 466 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: the ladder and all these other things. Right, but he 467 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: determined his value is X amount of dollars and what 468 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: they're offering for additional work doesn't match what he believes 469 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: is the value. That's how commerce works, that's how capitalism works. 470 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: So for the Wall Street Journal and the others, the 471 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: former co founder not former co founder. He is the 472 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: co founder former head of home Depot hasn't been there 473 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: for twenty years, by the way, and home Depot says 474 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: he doesn't speak on behalf of us. For these people 475 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: to come forward and say it's a lazy workforce, how 476 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: dare they and then claim that socialism is ruining America? 477 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Don't realize that what they are engaging in is sort 478 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: of a capitalist socialism, sort of like the capitalist communism 479 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: the China has when the companies make all the rules. 480 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: I can't believe these people want to get paid more 481 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: for doing more. That's just garbage. It's not garbage. That's 482 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: exactly how life works. You want a different Suppose you 483 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: hire a plumber to install a toilet, but then you 484 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: tell the plumber my shower is leaking. Well, the plumber goes, okay, 485 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: well i'll fix your shower too, but it's going to 486 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: cost you more money. Well, how is it going to 487 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: cost me more money? You work for me, No, because 488 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: you're paid for a job. So for these people that 489 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: are saying that we lack ambition or that since since 490 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: the pandemic, people lack ambition. They're just not willing to 491 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: work extra. Why should they? What is the message that 492 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: Corporate America has sent them that says it's going to 493 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: be of value to them? Because Corporate America is not 494 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: willing to do stuff for free?

Speaking of lazy, there may 499 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: be a pill to help you be just as lazy 500 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: as you want. And I am one hundred percent on board. 501 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: Next Chris Merrill and for JOHNI kN kay if I 502 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere in your Heart radio app. 503 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: I am one of those people who I look in 504 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: the mirror and I go, dang, I look a lot 505 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: fatter than I feel. And then I have to walk 506 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: up the stairs and I realize, nope, I pretty well 507 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: match that. I've been up and down like Oprah. Maybe 508 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: you've done the same thing. And it's a new year, 509 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: so we're all thinking, oh, this is gonna I'm gonna 510 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: give up carbs. Oh, I'm gonna give up this bad 511 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: thing for me, whatever it is. And do you stick 512 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: with it? Most likely not? And we know about weight loss. 513 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: We thought, well, you know, losing weight as a mindset. Oh, 514 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's a lifestyle change. It's all these others. 515 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: It's not a diet that's gonna do it for you. 516 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to change your relationship with food, all 517 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: these different things. We know it logically, But for whatever reason, 518 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: the part of a brain that says I have to 519 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: change my relationship with food. I need to cut back 520 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: on sugars and salts and everything else, and I need 521 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: to eat more vegetables and all that stuff. For whatever reason, 522 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,719 Speaker 1: that part of the brain doesn't talk to the part 523 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: of the brain that says breadsticks. I don't. I wish 524 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: our brains were better at communicating with our brains. They 525 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: are not. But now there may be a new drug 526 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: out there that's gonna make being lazy a whole lot easier. 527 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: I've often said, man, I wish I could just take 528 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: a pill and watch all this stuff go away. Yeah, 529 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: and there are some pills out there. You have to well. 530 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: Fen Fen was one year's back that that was sending 531 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: people into fits with their hearts, and then finter that's 532 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: a pretty good one. Uh if was it? E Fedra 533 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: is that the other one of my is that the 534 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: one that got banned for a while market. You remember, 535 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: was it a Fedra that was in the. 536 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: I think isn't that what weightlifters used to give them 537 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: a little jolt, little boost in the gym? 538 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think so. But also they were 539 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: putting that in some of the weight loss things and 540 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: then it was like, you know, giving people heart attacks 541 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: or something, and they said, oh, we're going to take 542 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: that off the market. Oops. Yeah, oops, Now forget about 543 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: all this stuff you've heard in the past. Now there 544 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: may be another one for those of us that are 545 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: a little on the chunk side. Uh. This is uh 546 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: Eric it are cut here called weight loss drug from 547 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: NBC News. 548 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 5: So this new drug is actually similar to two other 549 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 5: drugs already on the market. Essentially, it suppresses the hung 550 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: or harmone, so it makes people less hungry. But this 551 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 5: one in particular also changes how the body metabolizes sugar 552 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 5: and fat. And the studies show that people on it 553 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 5: lost about twenty twenty percent of their body what weight, 554 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 5: and that was sustained weight loss. 555 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: That's a lot. So drug maker Eli Lilly is behind 556 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 4: this particular drug right and still waiting on FDA approval, 557 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: but do we have any sense for how much it 558 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 4: could cost? And our weight loss drugs even cover insurance, right. 559 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 5: So the other two medications that are similar are not 560 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 5: always covered by private insurance. They're definitely not covered by Medicare. 561 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 5: Some medicaid plants may cover it. It's about one thousand 562 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 5: to two thousand dollars a month, so it's very very 563 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 5: pricey if a patient has to pay out of pocket. 564 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 5: So the concern is the average American with obesity that 565 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 5: needs this medication wouldn't be able to access that if 566 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 5: there doesn't cover it, and it would only be available 567 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 5: to those who are very rich. The problem is that 568 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 5: insurance companies don't think of obesity as an illness or 569 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 5: a medical problem. We have to change the way they 570 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 5: think about it that it's not just about cosmetics but 571 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: about help as well. 572 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, eleven hundred a month, that's so expensive. 573 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 4: Doctor Uja, real quick, before you go, we. 574 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: Have to ask any dangers to the drugging side effects. 575 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 5: So actually these drugs not only being affected, but they 576 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 5: also are pretty safe. You know, some of the common 577 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 5: side effects are mostly gastrointestinal nausea and vomiting and diarrhea, 578 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 5: but otherwise they are very well tolerated by people who 579 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 5: take them. 580 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 4: And do they know about the long term here? I mean, 581 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: have they been able to you know, I don't know 582 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: how long they've been studying this drug. Do they know 583 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 4: what would happen over time? 584 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: Would you regain the weight or does it stay off? 585 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 5: Well, so far they've looked at Patience for a few 586 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 5: years and they've been able to keep off the weight, 587 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 5: which is a great thing and one of the reasons 588 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 5: why it will likely be approved by the FDA next year. 589 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: All right, doctor Uja Blackstock, thank you. 590 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: Wow. So if you weigh like I'm going to try 591 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: to figure out easy numbers. If you weigh two hundred 592 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: and fifty pounds and you took this drug, you probably 593 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: lose like fifty pounds. Outstanding, it sounds like it's an 594 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: appetite suppressant. As you heard from the doctor there, it 595 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: sort of attacks that hunger hormone. See this just irritates me. 596 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: Our bodies are just messed up, aren't they. Like Our 597 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: bodies don't keep up with evolution, doesn't keep up with 598 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: technological advancements. You know, our bodies are storing fat in 599 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: case we don't run into another saber toothed tiger that 600 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: we can kill and then we have to live on 601 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: berries for a while. But we're not in that situation 602 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: any longer, at least not in first world countries. So 603 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: our bodies are not figuring out that we can just 604 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: go to the store and buy food, and so our 605 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: bodies say, WHOA, we better store fat just in case, 606 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: which is total trash. I just wish we could tell ourselves, hey, chill, 607 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: just relax. But this hormone is where our brain is 608 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: not talking to our brain. Our brain should be telling 609 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: that our hormone secrets. Stop putting out the hunger hormone 610 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: because you're fat and you probably don't need those pizza rules. 611 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: Full disclosure. During the last commercial break, I went and 612 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: had a couple of pizza rules because they were there 613 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: and they're delicious and I love them, and I shared 614 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: with my dog and he approved this weight loss drug 615 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: that they're talking about, which has very few side effects nausea, 616 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: vomiting in the squirts, which I'm pretty sure that most 617 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: every other diet thing ever gives you the squirts. They 618 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: say that this could be the biggest drug of all time. 619 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: Analysts say that annual sales of this drug tears a 620 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: pep tears a paytide, tres terres zeppetide, tears appetide, turns 621 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: ziah close enough, could hit a record forty eight billion 622 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: dollars right now? Do you know what the the highest 623 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: selling drug of all time? 624 00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 5: Is? 625 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: It surprised me. I had no idea. It is Humerra. 626 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: Humera sold twenty point seven billion dollars worth of their 627 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthritis drug in twenty twenty one, which we can 628 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: now say was two years ago, sold twenty billion dollars 629 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: over twenty billion dollars of hume Era. They're talking about 630 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: this weight loss drug selling forty eight billion dollars worth. 631 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: Another analyst came in much lower, said the drug would 632 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: reach twenty five billion dollars in annual stills, which would 633 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: still surpass what Humera sold and set the record on. 634 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: So what's the deal? The problem is is you heard 635 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: the doctor say, insurance companies may not sell this because 636 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: insurance companies don't look at obesity as as a problem, 637 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: So why cover it? The drug is expensive to start with, 638 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: that's one thing, right, and I get that, and so 639 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: insurance companies don't want to go, Hey, thirty five percent 640 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: of the country is obese. We're not going to shell 641 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: out eleven or fifteen hundred dollars a month for thirty 642 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: three percent of the country. We'd go broke. Okay, I 643 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: mean that's fair enough. But you also have to wonder 644 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: how many of the claims that insurance companies are paying 645 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: now could be avoided if their patients didn't have the 646 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: issues from obesity. So, if patients are having gas rotestinale 647 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: issues from their obesity, could they avoid some of those problems? Hernias? 648 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: Could they avoid some of those problems? High blood pressure? 649 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: We know those medications can be very expensive. Blood thinners. 650 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: I got eloquist right now. My cardiologist wants me an eloquist. 651 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,959 Speaker 1: You know how much that is? I don't know because 652 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: my insurance pays for it. But I think it's like 653 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: I saw a receipt for like eighteen hundred dollars. I 654 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: think that might be for a three month supply, though 655 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Just the same, it's a hell of 656 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: a lot for a drug.
