Speaker 1: put a hack into the dumpster. It all deals with

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: the big theme of the week, which came to a

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: head yesterday and the announcement that La County will not

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: be bringing back the indoor mask mandate. But right now,

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: speaking of medical stories, it's time for an update on

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: the other medical story, the monkey pox. Alex Stone ABC

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: News for KFI is going to come on to give

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: us the latest to what's going on here in California.

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: States of emergencies have been declared in some places. Let's

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: get the latest aircat news presenter. How British of you,

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: the news presenter. Somebody told me a years ago that

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: we're supposed to call it the John and Ken pro Gram.

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: It's not a show, we're the program. I don't know

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: about that. Uh So, yeah, I was gonna say Alaska,

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Montana and Wyoming that they're the only ones without any

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: monkey pocks being reported, But Alaska they got there. There's

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: been some deaths outside the US, there have been yeah, Montana, Wyoming,

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: and I think Vermont as well that they may have them,

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: they just haven't reported them yet. And so the US

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: has around five thousand cases now, majority are in California

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: and in New York, and in that most are in

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: the Bay Area and in LA. And so that is

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: why the Bay Area of San Francisco specifically declaring a

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: state of emergency now and Mayor London Breed she's up

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: there saying by sounding the alarm, what we're saying is

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: this is not going to be ignored. That this is

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: a public health crisis now. Right now, it is mainly

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: in the LGBTQ community getting hit the hardest. But doctors

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: are emphasized saying it is not a sexually transmitted disease.

53
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: It is by spending time with somebody, sharing clothing, being

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: in a bed with them, spending a lot of time

55
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: with them, that it's in that circle. But they say

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: that it will eventually if we don't somehow end it,

57
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: which doesn't look like we're going to, that it will

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: break out and it's going to be a bigger problem

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: beyond that. But the mayor saying, if there were any

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: other community that was disproportionately impacted by monkey pocks. The

61
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: way the gay community has been impacted, this whole country

62
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: would be up in arms. And the gay community in

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the Bay Area is saying they feel like Middle America,

64
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: other areas don't care right now because it's being seen

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: as a gay disease and kind of like the beginning

66
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: of AIDS, and well, it doesn't affect me that if

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: you're not in LGBTQ in the community, if you're not

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: in these areas of the country, then you kind of say, well,

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm not at risk, and it's their deal. But doctors

70
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: is saying it may not remain that. So California not

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: yet clearing its own emergency, the federal government being pressured

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: to declare one federally. Nobody in California has died. Eleven

73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: of the eight hundred or so who have gotten it

74
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: have been admitted to the hospital in California. But today

75
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: we got a briefing from doctor Thomas Aragon, the state

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: public health director. He's saying, we're leveraging a lot of

77
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: the infrastructure that we built around COVID's our ability to

78
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: do case investigation, contact tracing, the vaccine registry, our disease

79
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: surveillance systems, so we have all these systems in place.

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: And Kenny, he's saying, what they're really battling right now

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: is that misinformation that's out there in California elsewhere that

82
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: it is a gay sexually transmitted disease, And he said,

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: what they need people to realize is that's totally wrong.

84
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: It's been sent around on social media and some other

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: forms of media, and they're worried that's going to allow

86
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: it to spread more based on people saying, well, I'm

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: not at risk, and if they've got the things on

88
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: their skin when they get it, no, those are mosquito bites,

89
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: and that they're not going to know what it is.

90
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: And he says that's what they've got to deal with.

91
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Monkey Pox can affect anyone and is spreads by skin

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: to skin contact as well as from sharing items like clothing, bedding,

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: and tows, and very rarely it can be respiratory or

94
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: by touching something. So in New York they've got people saying, well,

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: if I rent one of those city bikes, you know

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: those things that you ride around on and then leave

97
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: them wherever, if somebody with monkeypox before me touched it,

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: can I get it and doctors are going well, probably not,

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: but there is a slight chance of that if you're

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: in the room or on a bus with somebody, could

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: you get it based on their respiratory droplets? Technically yes,

102
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: but highly unlikely. So the vaccine is going out there.

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: California's gotten about thirty seven thousand doses. They say seventy

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: two thousand more are on their way from the FEDS

105
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: to California. Long lines at clinics to get it, especially

106
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, but right now the numbers are

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: going up, and they're clinics mainly in gay neighborhoods in

108
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. That's who has the most exposure right

109
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: now and meets the criteria that adds to the overall

110
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: feeling of what this is. But the docs are saying

111
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: it is not that, and that they want everybody to

112
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: know that they're still prioritizing who gets the vaccine. Is

113
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: that what there they are there's not enough of it

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: right now, and so those who are showing up at clinics,

115
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: they're they're being an asked, are you in the LGBTQ community,

116
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: have you been around anybody? Do you know anybody? And

117
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: then they're getting priority for it probably going to be

118
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: that way for a while and until we get more. Now,

119
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: no real hospitalizations from this though, is there. There're been

120
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: eleven in California, Yeah, out of eight hundred, so there

121
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: are a few, but numbers have been low. And then

122
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: they're saying, look that you can die from it. Elsewhere

123
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: people have you're probably not going to. It's more of

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: a disfigurement thing that after it has to run its course, right, Yeah,

125
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: the things all over your skin that sometimes a legions

126
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: and then yeah, the legions leave scars and whatnot. So

127
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: more than anything that doctors are saying you rest your life.

128
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: You don't want that. Then there's no real treatment. No,

129
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like getting in that way chicken

130
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: pox or smallpox. You you let it do what it's

131
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna do. There may be cream or something that you

132
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: put on there. There's a vaccine obviously to prevent it.

133
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: But if you go down where you're getting seriously ill,

134
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: then you go to hospital and they can do things.

135
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: But generally now yeah, I mean, and the point you made,

136
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: just like with AIDS, because it started in a certain

137
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: subset population, it can tend to stay in that population

138
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: just because the way people don't mix and mingle that

139
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: close together. In other words, the LGBT community people sometimes

140
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: that's who they're seeing on a daily but it may well, yeah,

141
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and that's what doctors are saying. That's why so far

142
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of stayed in that group, but that the

143
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: fear is that you get it outside of that and

144
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: then it spreads just like it has been in that community,

145
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: and and then you it's all over. So right now

146
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: it's mainly there, but where it's going to go they

147
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: don't know. And when you declare a state of emergency,

148
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: what does it mean? Like San Francisco, money sources, all

149
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: of that. If the state were to do it, they

150
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: could request more vaccine and make more things where treatment

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: that people wouldn't have to pay for and all of that.

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: But in San Francisco, the mayor saying this is to

153
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: bring awareness, it brings money resources, The state can send

154
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: things to the Bay area that way. But but yeah,

155
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: it's generally to say, all right, remove the red tape

156
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: that that we need the money and then they're able

157
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: to get it. All right, take your monkey pox and

158
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: get out of here. Alex Oh, I don't have it.

159
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it. Got it. Thanks Ken. All Right,

160
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Alex Stone ABC News for kfive with the latest on

161
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: the monkey pox report. Obviously it does not spread as

162
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: easily as COVID nineteen. We know that, but as Alex said,

163
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: not necessarily just from sexual contact. It can be other

164
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: forms of contact and even sharing things with people. But

165
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: the number of cases tells us that the transmission rate

166
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: is clearly not as rapid as like this latest variant

167
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: of COVID. All right, when I come back, the first

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: thing almost I will do is reveal the latest keyword

169
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,239
Speaker 1: your chance to win a thousand dollars. Here on KFI,

170
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: John and Ken show a couple of stories coming from

171
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: the international scene today. I don't think any man in

172
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: the world would have passed up trying to read more

173
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: while cringing at the headline this morning that there is

174
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: a graphic video of a Russian soldier allegedly castrating a

175
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: Ukrainian prisoner of war. I looked at that and I

176
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: said I. First of all, the website that I looked

177
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: at it said here's the video, it's graphic, and then

178
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: they didn't include any footage. You just saw a guy

179
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: leaning over another guy. They were all dressed in tigues.

180
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: They looked like they could be soldiers, and he had

181
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: some kind of a weapon, I mean, like a box

182
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: cutter or something like that. I thought it might be

183
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: fake news, which is why I kind of wanted to

184
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: wait a few hours on the story, because I sometimes

185
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: when things are really over the top, there's a reason

186
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: they're over the top. They're not real, and they call

187
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: them deep fakes, where videos can be easily altered to

188
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: make it look like something that didn't happen. However, reading

189
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: the stories this afternoon and again this circulated from the

190
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: Ukrainian side, clearly it would be The person that posted

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: the footage was a Ukrainian member of parliament in a

192
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: soul Sun. She posted the footage, but her account then

193
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: got suspended. The video depicted a Russian soldier from the

194
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Chechen Battalion cutting off the genitals of Ukrainian pow. Several

195
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: outlets reported that a group of Russian soldiers held down

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: the man, who was wearing Ukrainian fatigues, shouting derogatory language

197
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: at him. A boxcutter light like knife was then allegedly

198
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: used to mutilate him. Says here, it's unclear what happened

199
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: to the soldier after the video ended, many believe some

200
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: reports claim that they probably killed him. She posted this

201
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: on Twitter, saying people should know what Russia is doing,

202
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: but it's unclear when or where the footage was taken.

203
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: There's an assistant foreign editor to The Times Why the

204
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: name of Maxim Tucker, who said he believes the video

205
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: is genuine. According to the Netherlands based investigative website Bellancat,

206
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: so whatever procedures they took to try to ensure that

207
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: it's real, they believing that it is. A Ukrainian presidential

208
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: advisor took to Twitter to of course, to be outraged

209
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: over this. Russian propagandists were delighted to show how a

210
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: group of Russian and humans destroyed a captive. Because you

211
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself who took the video and probably

212
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: another Russian soldier. Now were they sharing it? Because I

213
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cool that they castrated the Ukrainian

214
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: soldier and somehow it got from that group of people

215
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: like Russian soldiers and circulated itself around to this lady

216
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: in the Ukrainian Parliament. I don't know. I mean, nothing

217
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: surprises me, this story, the whole invasion of Ukraine by

218
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Russia's kind of just disappeared on a day to day

219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: basis from most of the news. People were really riveted

220
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: by this story back in February when it happened. I

221
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: always tell people it's locked in my head. February twenty

222
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: fourth was the day that Russia officially invaded Ukraine. But

223
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, in the months since then, the story kind

224
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: of faded because it's the day to day grind of war,

225
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: which is terrible because a lot of people are dying,

226
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: including civilians, but it just can't get the intensive coverage

227
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: it got the first few weeks. People kind of move on,

228
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: and my understanding is that Russia is controlling a number

229
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: of territories in Ukraine, but not much else comes out

230
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: of that. So I did see the other day that

231
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: they think that Russia has lost seventy five thousand soldiers

232
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: in this invasion of Ukraine. Now, also making news on

233
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the international side is this possibility that California's own Nancy Pelosi,

234
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: the congresswoman from San Francisco and the long time Speaker

235
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives, may end up in Taiwan. Now,

236
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: the thing is she has taken a trip to Asia.

237
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: Taiwan is supposed to be on her travel schedule, but

238
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: what's happened in the last week could alter that as

239
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: a question of is anybody going to blink? Because China

240
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: has made it very clear, and today one of their

241
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: media spokesholes put out the message that if Nancy Pelosi

242
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: does fly into Taiwan and her plane is accompanied by

243
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: US fighter jets, there's a possibility they would shoot them

244
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: down out of the sky. The words that came, or

245
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: at least the interpretation, and this is a message on Twitter.

246
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: A commentator with the Chinese state affiliated Global Times, because

247
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: held the media is there is government run, said, if

248
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: US fighter jets escort Pelosi's plane into Taiwan, that's an invasion.

249
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane

250
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and

251
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: making some tactical movements to obstruct. If that's ineffective, then

252
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: shoot them down. So this is their way of saying

253
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: that you'd better not try this because this could be

254
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: a bluff. But who knows, and she isn't really saying much.

255
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: What tells me she's not going to do this unless

256
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: somehow she gets in there on the sneak, but you

257
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: know she's photographed video side the country talking to Taiwanese leaders.

258
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: That wouldn't because she's going to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia,

259
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: and Singapore. In response to a question about a trip

260
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: to Taiwan, Pelosi only said, I don't talk about my

261
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: travel because it's a security issue. Because you're in a

262
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: situation here where you don't want to look like you're

263
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: backing down to the Chinese, and you're of a supporter

264
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: of Taiwan. You want them to know that, But you

265
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: also make it clear that Hina the finger, I'm going

266
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: wherever I want to go, she added. The President earlier

267
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: this term talked about a strong emphasis on the Asia

268
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Pacific and the Congress of the United States will be

269
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: part of that initiative. So that's nothing but generic blob.

270
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: But to Chinese made it very clear. You probably know

271
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: there was like a two hours supposedly a two hour

272
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: phone conversation between Biden and the President of China where

273
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of this subject came up,

274
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: but they're very, very very not happy if any US

275
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: official like Pelosi were to visit Taiwan, because they still

276
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: believe that that is their territory. And remember back in

277
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: February when Russia invaded Ukraine, everyone was making the comparison

278
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: that if the world just sits there and watches, and

279
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: let's Russia take Ukraine. And remember what the military experts

280
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: thought at the time it was going to happen in

281
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: a matter of days, which it did not, but that

282
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the Chinese were watching this and this could lead to

283
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: their move to take Taiwan. But since it didn't go,

284
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gone particularly well for Russia. Certainly

285
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: was not an easy task, but I think the Chinese

286
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: may still have this in mind. Although you know the

287
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: situations we're going on for so many decades, you would

288
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: think if they were really going to take Taiwan back,

289
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: but their patient took him a long time to get

290
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Hong Kong back in their territories. Maybe they'll try to.

291
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: But they did that without an invasion and in an

292
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: agreement with the British. But in the case of Taiwan,

293
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they'll do. All right. I got

294
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: more coming up on the John and Ken Show. There

295
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: seems to be a mount a number of incidents of

296
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: rage going on in California and around the country. And

297
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: its centers on road rage and theme park rage. We'll

298
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: talk about that next on the John and Ken Show. Yeah,

299
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: Debra Mark, the news, what it means, why it matters?

300
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: That's right, because I'm the presenter. Yeah, well, well tell

301
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: us why it matters. I know. Then we'll just skip

302
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: you today. You're no, you know, there's a few important

303
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: stories that you need to know. You know, of course,

304
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: but I know exactly I have. Yes, we'll be talking

305
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: about the Bega millions every people have to do this.

306
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: Everything you need to know about the Bega Millions drawing.

307
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: That's at eight o'clock tonight, Ken, What are you going

308
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: to buy? If you win by nothing? Are you going

309
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: to quit? Debmark? Will you quit your news presenter job? No,

310
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm still going to be your news reader. Can Well

311
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: your husband has the tickets though, Yeah, but we're married.

312
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: It's California, so I can't have community property. That's right. Yes,

313
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the dope Mega millions frenzy, Eric Sclore,

314
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: Did you buy tickets? No, I'm not into the lottery,

315
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: and you never have. No, never have. It's hard to

316
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: avoid the friends. He's independently wealthy. Absolutely not. I did

317
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: not say that we even maybe got John to crack down.

318
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: We don't know if he actually bought the tickets last night,

319
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: but he was acting like in all the years we've

320
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: done the show and talked about these big lottery prizes,

321
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: he has never indicated a desire to buy a ticket,

322
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: and suddenly this week he did, which I credit you, Debmark.

323
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: You've been a big influence on him in a lot

324
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: of ways. I put the pressure on him. Ken. It's

325
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: kind of scary because you're feminizing him. I'm a feminize

326
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: I think to some degree of help soften him a

327
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: softer side of John Cob out there, because he's a

328
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: classic toxic mail. And I think you've exactly And do

329
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: we really want headaches every single day? Do we really

330
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: need to hear the screaming every day? Now? Speaking of

331
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: the other toxic mail, have you straightened out your thing

332
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: with Ray Lopez over the dog adoption story or is

333
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: how's that going? No? I just I've given up. You

334
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: know what, he doesn't want my help, then I'm not

335
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: going to offer it anymore. Oh okay, because he said

336
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: you were sending him texts and stuff from listeners who

337
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: were Oh oh I still do that? Yes, Oh yeah,

338
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: I've gotten a few, and I of course I for

339
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: them to him. Absolutely. Yeah. For those of you don't know,

340
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this the other day around this time, Ray,

341
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: our producer, wants to adopt a I guess a puppy, right,

342
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: he wants a young dog. Yes, he wants a puppy,

343
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want it newter. It has to be

344
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: a male obviously, and he wanted a furry puppy. I

345
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: mean he has that's fine. You know. Apparently I'm in

346
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: the minority when it comes to the John and Ken listeners.

347
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: I can't understand it, but I do have a few supporters.

348
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: But apparently most people think that Ray should be able

349
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: to choose what he wants. And I think that's consistent

350
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: with the John and Ken audience. Yeah, we do believe

351
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: in freedoms an individual choice. And I never said he

352
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: has to get a dog that I choose. I'm just saying,

353
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: instead of purchasing a dog, go to a shelter, go

354
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: to a rescue organization and choose. I'm not saying he

355
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: has to get the dog I choose for him. He

356
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: wants a breed, and he wants a breed with testicles.

357
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: And if you get it from a shelter. They do

358
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: new to them, so that's why it's on the X list.

359
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: He doesn't know. I know, but it's hard for me

360
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: to wrap my head around this ken when there are

361
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: so many animals that desperately need homes. I just I

362
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: can't understand why you would go out and spend thousands

363
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: of dollars when there are so many great animals out

364
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: there that need your love. There is not a day

365
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: I have walked outside of my neighborhood and see people

366
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: walking animals. And there's lots of dogs where I live.

367
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: I can identify every breed, so they're all doing the

368
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: same thing as raised doing. They really want to go

369
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: out and get themselves some particular breed, some particular dogs.

370
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're neutered or not. I didn't

371
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: ask that question. I didn't look. But that's I mean,

372
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: you call them designer dogs. You know you got all

373
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: the hybrids. Now, there's so many of those freaking labradoodles

374
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: and things in my neighborhood, and golden doodles. But right

375
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: away I see the dogs out there's a beagle or

376
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: there's a docks and I can see right away it's like,

377
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at a mut. I know that there's

378
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I think there's one lady down the street that has

379
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: some sort of weird a cross. Oh, there's actually woman

380
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: that's right across from me, because I asked her one

381
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: day what is that? Because what did she say? I

382
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: don't know. It was long like a docks and but

383
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: kind of had a chihuahwe head. It was like, oh

384
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: at choweni. Well, no, I think there was four or

385
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: five different breeds in this one too. Well, that's what

386
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: a real traditional mud is. We had a real traditional

387
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: mud when I was a child. We called him Toby,

388
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: and he had He was small, but he kind of

389
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: had like a German shepherd head. It was like a

390
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: really odd collection of different dogs. And we soon realize

391
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: why because back then we didn't neuter. So all our

392
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: dog did, well, he was to go out and forty

393
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: kid all over the neighborhood. He did. That's what he

394
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: spent his day's doing. Because a dog, we let the

395
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: dog run free as that back in the day, that's

396
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: what a lot of people did. And the dog knew

397
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: to come home at night and get its food and

398
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: kind of sleep and then the next morning and you'd

399
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: be out playing with your friends and you'd see the

400
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: dog go by, hey, and he'd ignore us. He was

401
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: not he was not like, he's not going to come

402
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: up and like wagons tail and cuttlely just kind of yeah,

403
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: see around, and he'd take off and he'd look for

404
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: some other female duo. Yeah. Because like like a year

405
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: or so later, we started to seeing dogs. It looks

406
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: a lot like Toby. I believe he's been breeding in

407
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. But you know, I think it's a it's

408
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a classic battle. And I am

409
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: completely in the middle. I don't have a dog. I'm

410
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: not going to get a dog, but I understand completely

411
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: you're right that if I did, I probably would look

412
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: at a shelter. I would do that. Oh I'm so

413
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: glad to hear that, because I don't. I kind of

414
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: resent the fact that everybody in my neighborhood has to

415
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: have but I but I understand because sometimes the way

416
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: we follow this, we kind of fall in love with

417
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: certain breeds or just certain dogs. Like again, we talked

418
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: about the husky last hour. Some people just love that

419
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: dog and it's kind of really cute looking, beautiful eyes,

420
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: and they don't want like a crossover. They want a

421
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: husky husky, right, they want a real breed, so they

422
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: look for that. I get that. Look. I love labordoodles

423
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: and golden doodles. I think they're they're beautiful. I really,

424
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: I really do. But I cannot unless there was one

425
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: at a rescue or a pound, I cannot see myself

426
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: ever going there. I just this is not who I am. Right,

427
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, you tried to influence Ray and you gave

428
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: him some selections and he rejected them all. So yeah,

429
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: I know you did your best. I did. I tried,

430
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: I really did. And look, I hope he gets the

431
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: dog he wants. But I just, you know, I have

432
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: to be true to how I feel. I'm not trying

433
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: to bully anybody. I'm just resting. And because it is

434
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: such a huge problem, I just I think that he

435
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: that he should really go to a rescue. And then

436
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: you know what, And Ken, I have to say this too,

437
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: because some listeners actually have set me information about this,

438
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: and I've mentioned it to Ray, but he's kind of

439
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: blown me off. There are rescue organizations that have designer dogs, Yeah,

440
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: they do. There's a docks and Rescue there's a greahound rescue.

441
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: Where there you go, there are specific breed rescues, and

442
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: they're probably if they're not one hundred percent, they're probably

443
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: close to being right the full breed. But yeah, you're right,

444
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: he could do that because he did he have his

445
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: sights on one particular thing or No, I think I

446
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know. He may be turned off now from getting

447
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: a dog. I'm not sure. I think I just want

448
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: something fluffy and furred. Right. The one that passed away

449
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: was a breed, right, Yeah, what was that? Because he

450
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: told me years ago they used to like boxer dogs.

451
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: That's what I thought he liked. But oh yeah, that'd

452
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: be quite differentul if I have hear him mention he

453
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: had a boxer in the past. Yeah, he was really attached.

454
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: So now it's time for him to go and get

455
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: a mutt. He's had the pure bread, so it's mud time,

456
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: all right. No, I don't think you're now. I don't

457
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: think it's gonna work for you. Um. Oh, by the way,

458
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: on another topic that I just saw, I know you

459
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: don't care about this stuff. The substitute meat. Yeah, but

460
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: it looks like the McDonald's nick plant burger. I forgot

461
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: about it. It's flopped. Oh really. Yeah. They had a

462
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: deal I guess with Beyond Meat to make this patty

463
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: and they called it it's a horrible name of MC plant. Yeah,

464
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: is that gonna do? You know what? This is what

465
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: I think? What am I eating a cactus? I know?

466
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: But you know what, I think you should just do

467
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: an avocado sandwich or avocado toast. So places that are

468
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: trying to to do those beyond meat patties, just do

469
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: avocado toast. All the vegan people love avocado toast. Uh. Oh,

470
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: that's that's my marketing job for the day. But I

471
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: think the idea was to attract people that even like

472
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: meat to maybe try this so they'll feel like they're

473
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: doing something better for themselves. And they thought that would

474
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: be It wouldn't just be attracting vegetarians and vegans. I

475
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: think wanted to get people that just thought, oh, I

476
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: shouldn't eat that much meat every day. Maybe today I'll

477
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: get a mcplant. But it looks like and by the way,

478
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: the hole Beyond Meat sales apparently their stock has fallen

479
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: fifty three percent this year, so I think that phase

480
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: is over. People obsessed with this alternative to meet because

481
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: meat tastes. If the burger has done right, it really

482
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: does taste good. A lot of them just do it.

483
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: Try a keen Wah patty. If it's done right, it's delicious. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

484
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I told you. The one place that made the best

485
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: veggie burger was Houston's, the chain, but they closed it. Yeah,

486
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: one near me closed that was It just tasted really

487
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: grilled and fresh. And that's the only one I've ever

488
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: had that made me think, Uh, I could eat this

489
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: every time. And there's a restaurant actually, and it is

490
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: a chain, and they used to have on their menu

491
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: it was the one or two vegans one of the

492
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: I think there was one vegan option and it was

493
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: a keen wa patty and I loved it. And of

494
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: course they don't have it anymore. All Right, we got

495
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: more coming up in the John and Ken Show. We'll

496
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: go through the whole megamillions frenzy, all of the options

497
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: you would have and the taxes. And one thing you

498
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: should know, this is one rare thing about California. They

499
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: do not tax lottery winnings the state of California. More

500
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: coming up with the John and Ken Show on KFIED.

501
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: We are minutes away from the five o'clock Friday hour. Well,

502
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: we'll bring you the boy sline at around five twenty.

503
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 1: There'll be one more keyword that you can enter at

504
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: the website for a chance to win a thousand dollars.

505
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: We'll begin the hour by talking about what just about

506
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about in lots of states around the country,

507
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: the Mega Millions Drawing, which comes at eight o'clock our

508
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: time tonight. It is a prize that has now gone

509
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: over a billion dollars. In fact, it's close to one

510
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: point three billion dollars if there's just one winner. And

511
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: then we'll tell you what's left if you take the

512
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: lump sum, and then what's left after that with taxes,

513
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: because you know it's going to be hard to get

514
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: buy it. Just a few hundred million, that's all you

515
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: have left. You have to plan for that. If you

516
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: have big spending plans, you know, you can't think you're

517
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: gonna get a billion dollars because you're not. You're not

518
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: going to get a billion dollars. I'll also talk about

519
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: the taxes and all the nonsense there and Debra mark

520
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: streams of buying so many things with her so man

521
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: he don't even talked to her husband. She just my money.

522
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: You may have bought the tickets, but I have all

523
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: these plans. It's my decision. There's a story that apparently

524
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of theme park fights around the

525
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: US and the last year or so everything gets blamed

526
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: on the pandemic. Right, people are just ah, they're all

527
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: up in arms, they're on edge because of the pandemic,

528
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: and now that they're starting to mingle with the public again,

529
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: they have short fuses. But you may have seen these videos,

530
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: someone else said, because of TikTok, making a video to

531
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: make it go viral is a pretty cool thing to

532
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: do once somebody gets instigated. The point is maybe there

533
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: were fights, but nobody was filming them and recording them

534
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: and spreading them around social media before, so they didn't

535
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: get as much attention. But even the theme park operators say, well, yeah, sadly,

536
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: we're seeing a big uptick in these mobs fighting each other.

537
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know how it starts. It's usually a

538
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: group and maybe it was a fight over a line

539
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: or a line. Maybe people are drinking too much. They

540
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: did they sell alcohol in these theme parks. I don't

541
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: even know. I I think they do. Yeah, yeah, I

542
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: haven't been to any of the big major thing. I

543
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: went to Universal mumbe years ago. Is that five? Because

544
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: the Harry Potter thing. I'll never do that again. But

545
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: it was free ticket as good as boring. Oh you

546
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: know what it was, and I'm not very good. I

547
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: get motion sick. So when they do those. Somebody just

548
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: told me that. Oh yeah, my niece went to Universal

549
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: and she said, everything is what are they call it? Animation?

550
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: It's all um In other words, it's not like the

551
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: real old fashioned sort of roller coaster rides. Everything c

552
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: it's like CGI. It's like this special computer effects and

553
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's you don't you just sit there

554
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: at a seat and everything moves around you. Yeah, just

555
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: like that. So I don't do well with that. I

556
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: went to Disney World many years ago and for the

557
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: first time went into one of those theaters where that

558
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: was what was going on in a screen and everything

559
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: was going on and moving around, and they kind of

560
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: moved the seats a little bit. I got really sick.

561
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: I did not vomit, but I thought it was pretty

562
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: close to vomiting. Um knots Berry Farm does sell alcohol.

563
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: They do Okay, do they limit it? Do you think

564
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: or you can just stand there all day? And they

565
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: dealing with theme parks. This story's maked news. There is

566
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: a family from Baltimore who is suing the Sesame Street

567
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: Theme Park for twenty five million dollars. If you haven't

568
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: seen the video, they're claiming their daughters were snubbed by

569
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: some of the costume characters who were parading by. Did

570
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: you watch the video, Debra Market, This might be a

571
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: bit of an overreaction. The lawsuit alleges at four employees

572
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: dressed as Sesame Street characters ignored Quinton Burns, his daughter

573
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: ken Eddie Burns, and other black guests during a meet

574
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: and greet that occurred on June eighteenth. And if he

575
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: wants the video, yeah, it looks like the Sesame Street

576
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: character kind of sort of walks by while the little

577
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: girl's waving at him or something. But well, Sesame Street said,

578
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, when they're suited up like that, they don't

579
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: It limits their field of vision. They can't notice everything

580
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: around them all the time and be so direct. I

581
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I think they found a good lawyer and

582
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: they're making their case. It's possible that the Sesame Street

583
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: people settled with them rather than make this a bigger

584
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: story than it is. But honestly, I do you really

585
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: think that costume characters at Sesame Place are racist? I

586
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: would hope not. If you're going to take that job,

587
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: it's because either you have some weird compulsion dress up

588
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: like a character, or you do like kind of being

589
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: in the spot, like you feel like at tensions drawn

590
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: to you, like I'm Elmo or you're an actor? What

591
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: is this thing in the picture? Is this Oscar the

592
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: grouse that I'm looking at? Or where this is in Pennsylvania?

593
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Is it not? I believe it is Sesame Street Place.

594
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: I think that's where it is, Sesame Street. I think

595
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: that's that's where it's located, the Sesame Street Theme Park.

596
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: But I honestly, yeah, it says here. It is a

597
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: viral video. It shows two other black girls from New

598
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: York apparently being snubbed by a character named Rosita during

599
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: a parade at a park in Langhorn, outside of Philadelphia.

600
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: They've apologized, but they explained that it probably was not

601
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: a slight on purpose, that maybe the large and who'd

602
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: want to be in that outfit all day long? And

603
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: how hot it would be to be encased in one

604
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: of these stupid furry creature outfits for the day. Who

605
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: would want to do that? But I think there are

606
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: some people that are what did we call them once?

607
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: They're furries that they like to dress, right, yeah, sort

608
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: of animals and characters. All right? When I returned, the

609
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: frenzy is all about the Mega Why are you calling

610
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,120
