1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Rick Cruso's coming on. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: He's going to be on about three twenty three to 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: twenty next hour, Rick Carusoe, We're going to start off 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: by talking about that absurd, ridiculous graffiti tower that's riding 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: in the middle of downtown here in Los Angeles. Let's 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: now you probably have heard about Alexi Navonni. He is 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: the opposition leader that was murdered by Vladimir Putin this week. 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: Navalley had been poisoned some years ago and then eventually 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: he was put into an Arctic prison and he has 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: suddenly died this week. And we're going to talk now 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: with Robert Sherman from News Nation because the widow is 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: now speaking out and the family wants to see the body. 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Let's get Robert Sherman on from NewsNation. It's a new 15 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: cable television news channel that you should watch. It's on 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: your cable system. Robert, how are you doing all right? 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: John doing all right? I mean, it's definitely one of 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: those I mean, the way that Russia operates is very 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: different than the United States. I mean, for days on end. 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: We've seen these demonstrations taking place around the globe. I mean, 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: we're at the Russian embassy right across from the Russian 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: embassy here in Tel Aviv, Israel. We've seen demonstrations for 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: days on end. But now you're really starting to see this, 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: you know, focus on, Okay, what exactly happened here and 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: the latest from the Russians. They're not handing over that 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: body yet, they say that they have to do a 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: two week forensic analysis. The Valney's mom put out a 28 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: plea on social media today asking for the right to 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: bury her son with dignity, But the Russians aren't budging 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: on all of this. I mean, as you can imagine, 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: you just take all these facts for what they are. 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: It's certainly an eyebrow raiser, that's for sure. 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Explain to people who are not familiar, who don't follow 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: the day to day political situation in Russia. What did 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: Alexi Novali represent two people in Russia and around the world. 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: What did he do? What did he say that got 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: so much notoriety and made him such an enemy of 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: Putin to the point where Putin had to kill him? 39 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: You know, I mean, it's important to understand the geopolitical 40 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: climate in Russia in that here in the United States, 41 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: political dissent is something that is protected by the United 42 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: States Constitution. That is not the case in Russia. I mean, 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: you have to have permits in order to protest in Moscow, 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: otherwise you know you're going to prison and you might 45 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: not be coming out for a while. So I mean 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: taking that all here as well. I mean, he's well 47 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: known for speaking out against the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. 48 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: I've been trying to, you know, have situations in which 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: you know, people in Russia had different choices. Who's very 50 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: against core option in Russia, and that's something that's very 51 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: well documented throughout all levels of Russia's government as well, 52 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: and it's something that has not sat well with the 53 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 2: Kremlin or Vladimir Putin's leadership. And you see the way 54 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: that all of these world leaders have been weighing in 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: in recent days around Western Europe and the United States 56 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: for what he stood for. I mean that there are 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 2: a lot of concerns about the vacuum that is being 58 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: left behind and the damage done politically in Russia, which 59 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: which is why you now see this focus on what 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: kind of sanctions should be applied to Russia or what 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: kind of punishment should be put in place there, And 62 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: I mean jury's out of any of that will really 63 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: make a difference here. The bigger thing is that, I mean, 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: you see these demonstrations taking place around the globe. He 65 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: definitely spoke to a certain population in Russia. There's an 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: appetite there for something different than the status quo. And 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: he's now gone. 68 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: But his supporters can't really speak out public very much 69 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: and they can get the. 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: Same treatment exactly exactly. I mean, it is a different, 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: a completely different world than the United States. I mean, 72 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: the people who are the most outspoken right now, we're 73 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: in Israel. I mean, there's a huge Russian population here 74 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: in Israel, and you talk to all of these people here, 75 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: you know, they escaped Russia. They love their country, but 76 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: they don't want to go back to their country. And 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: as we were walking outside the Russian embassy here in Israel, 78 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: someone was holding up a sign that said, don't give 79 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: up hope. And I think that's a real testament to 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: what all of this is here. You know, the feeling 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: that a lot of these Russians who feel like they 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: can't go home how they feel about this whole situation 83 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: and what he stood for. 84 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, considering how many thousands, tens of thousands of 85 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: young men he's killed his own young men from Russia 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: in the war, and then all those Ukrainian men and women. 87 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: I mean, he is responsible for tens of thousands of 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: deaths in the last few years. It's not really shocking 89 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: that he would take out one of the few public 90 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: critics in Novali. This is what he does. He kills people. 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean, it's it's again, you know, 92 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: I've said it a few times, wou Russia just operates 93 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: so differently. I mean, I I spent a bit of 94 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: our time in Ukraine when the war broke out, and 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: you would see the reaction that was coming from Russia, 96 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: the people who you know, we were trying to be 97 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: in touch with in Russia, and people were so afraid 98 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: to say anything, you know, I mean, I mean you 99 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: would people would run from cameras and run from microphones 100 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: and just say I support Putin and don't don't ask 101 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: me any more questions. I mean that that is a 102 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: sentiment there is that you just don't have the opportunity 103 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: to really disagree and. 104 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: You're probably afraid to speak to your family or friends 105 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: because you could you could be stitched on of. 106 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: Course, of course, you know, I mean that's well documented 107 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: as well. I mean we've we've met plenty of people, 108 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: you know, in Ukraine, you who are family in Russia, 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 2: and you know, I mean their family members would snitch 110 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: on them, and their family members would sell them out, 111 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, that's it's a scary reality for sure. 112 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, thanks very much for coming on and 113 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: explaining for having me appreciate that. Robert Sherman from News Nation, 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: he's the News Nation national correspondent, and News Nation is 115 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the newest and really really good cable news channel on 116 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: your cable news system. So give it a watch if 117 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: you can't. We have shocking news that came across last night. 118 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: It was so shocking I immediately sent it out to 119 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: Deborah and Eric and Ray started a lot of controversy 120 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: with the reactions. But here it is. I'll just give 121 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: you a tease and then we'll get into it. The headline, 122 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: men and women's brains do work differently. 123 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 3: Dun, Dun, dun. 124 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: Scientists discover for the first time. Do you hear that 125 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: for the first time, and we needed scientists to do 126 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: research to tell us that men and women's brains work differently. Wow, 127 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: I was plored by that. I never noticed it. 128 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 3: I didn't either. 129 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: I just thought that women's brains are way more sophisticated 130 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: and you know, smarter. 131 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: Is that what you thought? Yeah, you still think that. 132 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: Ray had a different response. Yeah, of course, much different. 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it we come back. 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 135 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 5: six forty. 136 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: We got breaking news last night which just stunned me. 137 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: You may not know this, but according to Stanford University researchers, 138 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: the brains of men and women operate differently. This is 139 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: the first time that science has discovered that men and 140 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: women's brains are not the same. Up until now, apparently 141 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: they thought they were the same. Now, I don't know 142 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: any real person out in the street who would say that. 143 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 6: I was going to say, I don't think I needed 144 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 6: a Stanford education to tell you that. 145 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: Well, there is. Have you ever heard the term social construct? 146 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: Oh? 147 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a big time in the college campuses these days, right. 148 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: I never heard this until one of my sons came 149 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: home from college with this and it's like, what is 150 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: a social construct? And he said, what they teach is 151 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: that all our relationships is something that society constructed. It's 152 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: not in our genetics. It's not in our genetics necessarily 153 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: to be a man or a woman, to act a 154 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: certain way as a father or a mother, to act 155 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: a certain way with someone from the opposite sex. Just 156 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: maybe sexual attraction itself is a construct. It's something that 157 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: society imposed. At different times in society, homosexual behavior was 158 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: embraced and encouraged, other times it's shamed and repressed. But 159 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: the whole idea was we are the way we're programmed 160 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: by society, that there is no natural inclination that men have. 161 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: That men aren't born men, women aren't born women. We're 162 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: told how to be men and women. Our interests are 163 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: decided by society and whatever the prevailing norms are. 164 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: That's why people are talking about not wanting to dress 165 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 4: their girls in pink and the boys blue, and the 166 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 4: toy isles in certain stores. 167 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 3: You not to have a girls isle and boys toy I. 168 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,239 Speaker 1: And it's all nonsense. And I've thought it's been nonsense 169 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: for you know, forever. I don't know how long this 170 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: has been going on. It seems like the last you know, 171 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: last twenty thirty years and it isn't true. I never 172 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: believed it, but they'll say, no, you just don't understand. 173 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Science and researchers have investigated this and it's all social. 174 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: Well here's what they suddenly found. Stanford University has shown 175 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: it's possible to tell the sex is apart based on 176 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: activity in hotspot areas. There is an area of the 177 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: brain known as the default mode network. How is that? 178 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: In your case? It's the neurological center of your self. 179 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: It is important in in introspection and retrieving personal memories. Okay, 180 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: this has something to do with a man being a 181 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: man and a woman being a woman. Then there's the 182 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: limbic system that regulates emotion memory deals with sexual stimulation. Yes, 183 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: I think if you look at emotion and sexual stimulation, 184 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: there's definitely a difference between men and women. But they 185 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: actually found the hot spot in your brain. I think 186 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: we know that men are more visually oriented for sex. Well, 187 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: I guess they found a man's hot spot that lights 188 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: up when he looks at a naked photo. 189 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: You need a study for that, Okay, And. 190 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: Apparently your hot spot doesn't react quite the same way. 191 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: Brain differences could influence how males and females view themselves. See, 192 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: it's not society telling you what you are, it's you 193 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: telling you what you are. The brain differences change how 194 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: they interact with people and how they recall past experiences. 195 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a difference between the way women remember 196 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: things and men. 197 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 4: Well, because we remember everything and you guys forget key parts. 198 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: That's what you're talking about, right on purpose. 199 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: We want to forget things. Yeah, yeah, I know. Our 200 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: finding suggests that differences in brain activity patterns across these 201 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: brain regions contribute to sex specific variations in cognitive functioning. 202 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: That means there are differences in the way our brains 203 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: function and how we think. No, we have different brain activity, 204 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: yes and it, but further research is needed to fully 205 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: understand the implications here. They have also found that there's 206 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: market differences in how men and women perform in the 207 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: real world. Women are better at reading, comprehension and writing 208 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: on average, they have good long term memory. Conversely, meant 209 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: to seem to have stronger visual and spatial awareness and 210 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: better working memory, but they they they for years, they 211 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: couldn't exactly nail down those differences in neural activity inside 212 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: the brain. But now they have a kind of a 213 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: kind of AI, a type of computer learning that has 214 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: unlocked these secrets. You know what. You know, it's funny. 215 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: Until they came up with this AI analysis, nobody would 216 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: admit that men and women are different in these circles, 217 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: in academic circles, or among activists. Right, we were being 218 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: forced to believe that had I been born under different circumstances, 219 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: I actually would think of myself as a woman, and 220 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: I'd be acting like a woman. I'm only I only 221 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: think I'm a man, and I only act like a 222 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: man because that was the society or the family that 223 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: I was raised in. They really tried, They've shoved a 224 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: lot of this crap at kids for the last generation. 225 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 4: Do you remember a book called Men Are from Mars, 226 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: Women Are from Venus? Yes, I mean that was so 227 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: popular how many years ago, back in the eighties, right, 228 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 4: I mean, because it clearly explains how different men and 229 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 4: women are. 230 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: Because if I remember, that was a guy who actually 231 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: analyzed male and female behavior that you see every day, 232 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: that you experience every day. Yes, and this was like 233 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: some kind of weird brainwashing in recent years and I 234 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: don't want to get into all those variations that have 235 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: being explained to us these days. The model, let's see 236 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: where do they have? Okay, So they had a computer 237 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: model and they showed the computer model MRI scans of 238 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: working brains, and they told the AI, you're looking at 239 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: a man or you're looking at a woman. And over time, 240 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: the AI was able to pick out subtle differences between 241 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: the two sexes that had been missed by humans. You see, 242 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: humans couldn't pick up what they were looking at in 243 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: the brain scan, but the AI could detect the differences 244 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: and was informing the researchers that, hey, you really do 245 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: have a woman here. Look, this brain is acting differently 246 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: than this guy's brain. They tested it on fifteen hundred 247 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: brain scans, and the machine could tell whether it was 248 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: a man or a woman more than ninety percent of 249 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: the time. 250 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: Is it because the women's brain, well, they the harder, react, larger. 251 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 3: Huh, larger. 252 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: Its size doesn't matter in that case, it's what you 253 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: do with it. 254 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: I've heard that before. 255 00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: Are more coming up? 256 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 257 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 5: six forty. 258 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: We'ren from one until four and then after four o'clock 259 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. You 260 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: can listen to what you missed you've already missed Tracy 261 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: Park who is the West Side Councilman councilwoman, and we 262 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: talked about voting no on Measure HLA and La City 263 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: that would bring back the road diets big time and 264 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: that has to be voted down. So you could listen 265 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: to her discuss it. And we're going to talk more 266 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: about the road diets later in the show. Also, we're 267 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: gonna have Rick Caruso on at three twenty talking about 268 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: the embarrassing graffiti tower in downtown LA. We're also going 269 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: to build allusion on because Bill is now he's been 270 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: at the Texas Mexico border for most of the last 271 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: three years. He's now shifted to where the action is 272 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: the California border because Greg Abbott has done a real 273 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: good job largely shutting down much of the Texas border, 274 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: and so the drug cartels are sending the illegal aliens 275 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: over a mountain south of San Diego and that's where 276 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: they're now streaming in. He was there yesterday and it 277 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: was quite the site, quite the coverage. We'll talk to 278 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: Bill about it. Coming up. Thursday is a big day. Thursday. 279 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: We're going to do our show from the Honda Center 280 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: in Anaheim Thursday the twenty second, and you better be 281 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: there because it's about a rewrite of Prop forty seven. 282 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: We're going to be in Lot four, the parking lot 283 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: Lot four at Honda Center, live on the air from 284 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: one until four. The petitions will be available from one 285 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: till six, and we will have petitions again. This is 286 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: a major revision of Prop forty seven and it's for 287 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: all the counties in southern California, Los Angeles, Orange Riverside, 288 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: San Bernadino, Ventura, San Diego County, So you don't have 289 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: to live in Orange County to sign the petition. To 290 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: go to the Honda Center, you have to take the 291 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: Ball Road entrance, So enter from Ball Road, however, you 292 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: need to get there because the other entrances will not 293 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: be available. You will see us, we will be talking 294 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: to you, and we'll be talking to special guests, and 295 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: everybody will be signing petitions. And the three main provisions 296 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: there is that third time somebody gets nailed for theft, 297 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: they get charged with a felony and they go to 298 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: prison and Secondly, third time you get nailed for drug use, 299 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: drug possession, drug sales, any of that stuff. Third time, 300 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: you get a choice of either jail or treatment, which 301 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: is the way it used to be, jail or treatment 302 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: theft prison. Third thing really important. If you are selling 303 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: fentanyl and they catch you first time, they'll give you 304 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: a warning that if you do this again and your 305 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: fentanyl sale ends up in somebody's death, we can charge 306 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: you with murder. And that also enhances the penalties for 307 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: repeat arrests. We'll explain all this in great detail on Thursday. 308 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Honda Center one to four in Anaheim, a lot for 309 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: to enter from Ball Road and you want to sign 310 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: the petitions. ABC seven has done a story on the 311 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: Gascone race and they talked to this guy, Jim Newton, 312 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: and I remember this guy's name. He's to be an 313 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: LA Times writer. He now works at UCLA as a lecturer, 314 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: and he's got something called Blueprint magazine and his analo 315 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: is Gascone could get one of the top slots. Remember 316 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: it's the top two to go to November. Not because 317 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: Gascone is in any way popular. In fact, he's got 318 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: a fifty one percent disapproval rating. His support is in 319 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: the twenties, and then there's people who don't know or 320 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: don't care. But it's that there's eleven other candidates and 321 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: they're going to split the vote so many different ways. 322 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: And obviously, if you have the opposition vote split eleven 323 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: different ways, and let's say Gascon has a solid fifteen 324 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: to twenty percent, that could be enough for him to 325 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: get in. And so the story is pretty much handicapped. 326 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: But the thing is, the polls have been all over 327 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: the place. I would say John had Tommy shows up 328 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: most often among the leaders, and others who have done 329 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: well depending on the poll that you look at, could 330 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: be you can include Nathan Hockman in that, John McKinney, 331 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: Eric Sadal, but it Debora Archiletta. It's been a mess. 332 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Though the polling has been a mess. It shows that 333 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 1: most people don't know who's running. Most people are undecided. 334 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: Tommy and Hawkman have broken through to some extent with 335 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: name recognition, and we are going to very soon announce 336 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: our recommendations. We're gonna probably announce two names because I'd 337 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: like to see two guys get the top two spots, 338 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: not one, but two, and they knock out gascon entirely, 339 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: and you really cannot split your vote eleven ways, so 340 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: you should do some of the research. And I think 341 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: some of the fringe candidates are pretty are pretty obvious. 342 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: So within a day or two we're gonna get really 343 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: blunt on all this and tell you who's because you 344 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: can't just vote for someone one hundred percent matches your 345 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: belief system. First of all, there's no such thing, but 346 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: even there is. The second thing is, well, can they 347 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: get elected? Do they have the money? You have to 348 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: have the money to advertise, But Tommy and Hockman are 349 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: doing advertising, and that's why they're pulling is going up 350 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: because this is about getting a win. This is not 351 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: about standing by some ideological purity. I never believe in 352 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: that crap anyway. Too many people do. They'd rather lose 353 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: and die on a hill for the sake of purity 354 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: than actually win and get much of what you want 355 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: to accomplish. And right now, anything would be better than gascon. 356 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely anything is better than gascon. But there's 357 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: degrees of better. And you also have to look and 358 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: see not only the well financed, I mean, do they 359 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: have some popularity, do they have some base of support? 360 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: Because you're not gonna be able to go from zero 361 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: to twenty overnight. You gotta have something going for you already. 362 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: And you could be a good candidate with a good 363 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: record and be a nice guy and a good personality, 364 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: and you're still not gonna You're not gonna be able 365 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: to beat Gascon. You're not gonna be able to make 366 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: it to the to the finals, and then you have 367 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: to beat Gascon in in in the November election. You 368 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: can't be you know, Gascon is an extreme leftist, but 369 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: you can't be an extreme rightist because remember Gascon has 370 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: the help of you know, the the infrastructure here he's got. 371 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: You know, the media tends to be left. Obviously, the 372 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: La Times is going to be due cheerleading for Gascon. 373 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: They're probably gonna they're probably already a looking for all 374 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: kinds of dirty stuff on his opponents that they can 375 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: twist into misleading commercials, commercials filled with lies and innuendo. 376 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: Of course they're going to do that. It legal to 377 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: do that, apparently. You know, you can lie in political commercials. 378 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: In most advertising, you can't lie. You can't tell it 379 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: out and out lie. Some people some companies do, and 380 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: they get away with it. Others don't. Obviously, you know, 381 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: there's grades of it. There's exaggeration, there's misleading statements. All 382 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: that can be policed to some extent, but in political 383 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: commercials nothing is policed. Everything's political speech is considered a 384 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: fair game, no matter what they say. So you know 385 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: Gascon is going to run a campaign filled with lies 386 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: and some of the lives will be aimed at the opponents. 387 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: So you need to have a candidate who can survive 388 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: those lives. You can need to have a candidate who 389 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: could survive the left wing tilt of the La County electorate, 390 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: because we can't fool ourselves here. The LA County electorate 391 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: voted for Eric Carceti twice, they vote for Gavin Newsom overwhelmingly, 392 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: they vote for a bike bond and god on the 393 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: west side, we've got five communists in local government right now, 394 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: between the City Council and the City Controller. So you 395 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: have to have somebody who can thread the needle. This 396 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: is no time for purity. This is time for a victory, 397 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: because really you don't want to live with four more years. 398 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: So you got to think clearly here, look at people 399 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: who have a name, people who have some financial backing, 400 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: and it's all online. You can see exactly how much 401 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: money that they've had donated and how much money they 402 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: have on hand. Surprisingly, Gascone has not had that much 403 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: money donated to him and he doesn't have that much 404 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: cash on hand. Now that could change, of course, but 405 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: apparently a lot of the left winging groups have left 406 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: wing supporters have abandoned him because they don't want to 407 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: get shot either. They don't want to get robbed while 408 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: they're having dinner. They don't want to be smashed and 409 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: grabbed while their wife is buying some jewelry. They don't 410 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: want all the vagrants running around in the streets. So anyway, 411 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: Thursday Thursday really important because we could we could give 412 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: the new prosecutor a tool, an important tool. Honda Center 413 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: from one to four o'clock we're going to do a 414 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: major revision of Prop forty seven there and you could 415 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: sign the petitions anywhere. From one until six, we've got 416 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: more coming up. 417 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 418 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 5: six forty. 419 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Star Studied the Hour, Next Hour three twenty Renna Rick 420 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Caruso line about the disgusting graffiti tower that's really an 421 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: eye saw in downtown Los Angeles, and we're going to 422 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: talk about how Karen Bass really hasn't well, We'll let 423 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: Rick talk about what he thinks of Karen Bass's work 424 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: to reduce crime in Los Angeles and with her. Anybody 425 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: who's noticed a difference. Now I've you know, Normally I 426 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: don't like to praise an employer. You know, I'm not 427 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: one of these suck ups, one of these kiss ass employees, 428 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: but I think I think one of the executives at 429 00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: iHeart should be congratulated. John Zelner is the iHeartMedia President 430 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: of Programming, Operations and Digital Music, and he donated an 431 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: HD signal to that poor guy whose radio station tower 432 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: was stolen down in Jasper, Alabama. Was WJLX AM twelve forty. 433 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: It was the community station, local news, high school basketball, 434 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: and somehow the transmitter two hundred foot radio tower disappeared. 435 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: And and so this John Zelner, the iHeart executive, offered 436 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: an HD channel from a Birmingham station that iHeart owns, WDBX, 437 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: And now the programming of WJLX can be heard at 438 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: one on one point five FM for the time being. 439 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: How that, huh, that's good. First thing, they're going to 440 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: do is broadcast to a high school basketball game, which 441 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: is one of the big events in that part of 442 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: the country. So now that's the last time you're going 443 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: to hear that. Really, that's right. Have you ever did 444 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: you ever schedule a job interview and blow it off 445 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: and not call? No? Do you see this story? 446 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 3: I heard about it. 447 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten a job and then never shown 448 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: up for work? 449 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 3: No? 450 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: Okay? Ninety three percent of people in this survey report 451 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: ghosting the interview that they had set up with a company. 452 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: Now they contact the company right, or they make themselves 453 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: available and the company calls them and they agree on 454 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: an interview. It's like, okay, Thursday at two o'clock and 455 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: the employee says, yeah, I'll be there Thursday two o'clock, 456 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: and then they never show. 457 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: They don't even call. 458 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: Percent of this is this is gen z people ninety 459 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: three percent in a survey of an employment website called 460 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: Indeed and then eighty seven percent have not shown up 461 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: for their first day of work. These are I'd never 462 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: thought of this, the whole concept. If I couldn't come 463 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: to an interview, of not calling, of not knowing, I 464 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: don't think that ever happened to begin with. I think 465 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: I went to every single interview that was ever arranged. 466 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 4: You know, it seems like this all started, all this 467 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 4: blooney started right when the pandemic hit. I don't think 468 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 4: we heard about stuff like this before that, And I 469 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 4: just I don't I cannot relate this is that generation 470 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 4: at all. 471 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: This is TikTok TikTok crap. You know, some lazy twenty 472 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: two year old who's not feeling it today puts out 473 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: a video on TikTok and it gets millllions of hits 474 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: and everybody goes, yeah, yeah, ghost the interview, Ghost the interview. 475 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: You show the man as the youngest person on the show. 476 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 6: Yes, this does not relate to me whatsoever, because I mean, 477 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 6: I'm technically a millennial, but I'm closer to the gen 478 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 6: Z side of the millennials, right. But I just don't 479 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 6: understand how if you're out trying to get a job, 480 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 6: you get to the point of the job application process 481 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 6: where you actually get an interview, and that's even hard 482 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 6: enough these days, and then you just blow it off. 483 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 6: It just doesn't make sense to me, Like, don't you 484 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 6: want to get a job and make money and provide 485 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 6: for yourself and want money to be able to do things. 486 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 3: Well, I think they are. 487 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: What they're doing is they maybe have a better offer, 488 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: and so they're not polite enough right to just say, hey, look, 489 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 4: I know we have this setup, but I did get 490 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 4: got another job or something. 491 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: Or they wake up and they're not feeling it right. 492 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: Well, then you don't deserve a job anywhere. 493 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: According to the survey, the number one reason is it 494 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: made them feeling charge of their career. You're not in 495 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: charge of your career by not showing up in a 496 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: job interview. You're just not showing up. Yeah, You're not 497 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: going to have a career if you don't show up. Ay, 498 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: it says.
