Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app on

Speaker 1: app has the John and Ken on demand podcast, so

Speaker 1: first two hours. Yeah, come on, where were you?

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: If you're here now, we still out an hour left,

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: and then you can go back and listen to the

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: two hours.

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: You miss That's right, that's the way it works.

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: Pretty simple.

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Well, we now bring you to one of the favorite

13
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: punching bags that began in twenty twenty on the John

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: and Ken Show.

15
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Up until then, we weren't really much aware of her.

16
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Barbara Ferrara, the Lli County health therat.

17
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Will Swaim's columnist president of the California Policy Center. He

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: ran an opinion column they did in the Orange County

19
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Register where he talks about a lawsuit against Barbara Ferrara

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: and her La County Health Department. It's a filing by

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: an attorney named Julie hammil She's with the Alliance of

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County Parents, and there's some of the Department

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: of Public Health and others, including Ferrara for First Amendment violations.

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: A trial is set for October sixteenth, So this is

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: a real case. Even though we're well beyond the nonsense

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: of the pandemic, they still think this is important for

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: reasons that if she did this with COVID, she'll do

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: this with what she thinks are other public health emergencies,

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: and we don't want this woman running a mok.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: This case here exposes so much that we suspected and

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: talked about for several years as to what was really

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: going on. And it if you remember, in July of

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, just a year ago.

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: Just a year ago, in the month, Robert.

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Ferrer was making noises that based on her statistics, that

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: they were going to reinstate some kind of mask mandate,

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: and everybody went nuts. It would have been the only

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: place in the country doing it.

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: In fact, it was to reimpose a universal indoor mask

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: mandate and even had a date July twenty ninth, twenty

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: twenty two.

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: That was the intention.

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: And as that got beat back quickly because the numbers

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: really dissolved. She exaggerated them anyway, but they really dissolved.

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: And then the public.

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Blowback, which is what we're going to talk about because

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: apparently Farrar used one of her henchmen to try to

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: silence the public blowback. That's the big finding from these

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: court documents.

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: There was a big revolt on social media, and so Farreer. Now,

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: the one thing we told you is you have to

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: analyze the personality, characteristics, the motivations for why government officials

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: do what they do. And in Ferrara's case, she's an autocrat,

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: a dictator. She wants to bully people into following her

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: standard of living. What she says goes. She's not interested

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: in freedom. First Amendment, Second Amendment, eighth amende at none

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: of the amendments. There's only one amendment. Barbara Ferrer is

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: in charge. Barbara Ferrer says something about health. She knows,

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: she knows health. You don't. Of course, she's not even

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: a medical doctor, but she acted as if she was

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: a medical doctor and acted as if she was the

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: final word on anything connected to COVID. And Farrer's got

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: her communications director Brett Morrow, to appeal to Twitter YEP.

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: To try to silence the blowback against the Masks. That's

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: exactly what she did. And what they sort of did

66
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: was they leveraged Adam.

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Shift's office all right, because he wrote to somebody at

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: Twitter saying, I was referred to you by my friend

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Boland, who I used to work with in Congressman

70
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Shift's office. Boland's name was in capital letters in the

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: subject line of the email. Boland was copied on the email.

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: And the time Shift was chair of the House Permanent

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Select Committee on Intelligence, and mister Bolden was employed as

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: chief of staff to mister Schiff and a staff member

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: with the House Committee on Intelligence.

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: And at the time Schiff and the whole Biden administration

77
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: and many other Washington officials were up to their necks

78
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: making demands on Twitter to censor COVID information, among other things.

79
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: But that was a big deal as soon as the

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Biden administration took over, is to shut down public Descent.

81
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: So forreir out here said, it's like, that's what we

82
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: have to do here, we have to shut down public Descent.

83
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder if we if anybody in this

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: company ever got a call from her or her minions

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: to try and well shut down our descent.

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: Because apparently Moorrow, this henchman, he was also going after

87
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: newspaper publishers. He went to the Southern California Newsgroup because

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: they published an opinion bringing back a mask mandated Elie

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Counties unjustified was by Ford medical experts affiliated with USC

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: and with the hours of the publication, Morrow asked the

91
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: opinion editor to remove the commentary. Sara Rigez refused, which

92
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: is nice.

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: That was a great moment in journalism history there because

94
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: I remember we talked about those those four doctors who

95
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: basically said Farrer was full of it, but there was

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: no statistical reason to reimpose a mask mandate. But maraching

97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: out to Twitter.

98
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: He then said there's misinformation going around LA County and

99
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: upcoming mass requirements. As evidence of the misinformation for ours,

100
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: critics are saying she's a fake doctor. La County is

101
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: lying about hospitalization numbers. CDC's not recommending masks, and masks

102
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: are not effective for adults or children.

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: That was his proof. Well, Barbara Ferrer is not a

104
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: medical doctor. She's got a PhD in the public he

105
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: social or is it social work, public health.

106
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 3: Public health? I thought it was something affiliated.

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh, social welfare, Yes, PhD in social welfare. So that's

108
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: why she's all about equality, right, and that was much

109
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: of her strategy for dealing with well. She was leveraging

110
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: her position to try to again, you know, basically equalize,

111
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: help all the poor people in the homeless.

112
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: That's what she was trying to do.

113
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: And l like Kenny, was lying about hospitalization numbers because

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: they were counting people who came to the hospital for

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: any other reason other than COVID. But if they happened

116
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: to have coincidentally COVID as well, then they were marked

117
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: as COVID patients. But they came with COVID, not because

118
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: of COVID. Back then, there were a lot of people

119
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: who had mild cases because the whole pandemic was winding down,

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: So people had a lot of mild cases. But you

121
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: could have come there with a broken leg that needed surgery.

122
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: If they tested your blood and found the COVID of

123
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: virus in you, then you were marked as a COVID patient.

124
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: Wildly overstating how many people were hospitalized because of COVID,

125
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Wildly overstating that. And she knew she was See this

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: is the thing. They knew what they were doing. What

127
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: she wanted to do is restore her order. She enjoyed

128
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the power, She loved the power. She loved bossing people

129
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: around and affecting everybody's life, and she was a fanatic.

130
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: I don't think Barbara Ferrer would mean much to Twitter,

131
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: but they tried to leverage Adam Shiff's name to make

132
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: Twitter respond right demands to try to silence the criticism

133
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: on social media.

134
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: Because that's what she was up. Scheff was busy making

135
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: demands on Twitter on a national level. Right. And by

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: the way, Julie Hammill, the attorney, also happens to be

137
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: a trustee on the Palace Urdy School District Board. She's

138
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: actually going to join us later in the week to

139
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: talk about this lawsuit which I mentioned. A trial is

140
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: set for October sixteenth. It's all about first amended violations,

141
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: and she says in the end of this opinion column

142
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: I've been reading by will Swain, it's still in important

143
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: even though COVID obviously is out of the news. But

144
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Farrer has demonstrated her readiness to wheeld government power to

145
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: senseor protected speech critical of her mandates. So that's why

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: she doesn't what's to stop her from doing this again?

147
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Sasamo at the time that she wanted to implement the

148
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: mask mandate. One of the dissenting doctors said quote in

149
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: the hospitals, we're just seeing nobody with severe COVID disease.

150
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: We played that audio.

151
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Remember that's like an internal meeting they had on video

152
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: or on zoom or something. Right, we have no one

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: in the hospital who had pulmonary disease due to COVID.

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Nobody in the hospital. You hear that, he goes, we're

155
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: seeing nobody. We have no one nobody in the hospital.

156
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,479
Speaker 1: There's no reason from a hospitalization due to COVID perspective

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: to be worried at this point. We're seeing a lot

158
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: of people with mild disease and urgent care or in

159
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: the emergency department who go home and do not get admitted.

160
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people have bad colds, is what we're seeing.

161
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: But Farrer wanted to force masks on everyone in the county.

162
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: Remember public and private companies.

163
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: All right, we got more coming up.

164
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

165
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

167
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: Isn't that nice?

168
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: California, of course, likes to consider itself to be first

169
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: in many things. We're going to show the rest of

170
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: the country how to do things like dope be climate

171
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: change legislation.

172
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: It's only led to the highest gas prices by far

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: in the country. Something else that they want to kickstart

174
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: around the country is called t K Transitional Kindergarten.

175
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: They're phasing this in.

176
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: Over the next few years, but basically all public schools

177
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: have to offer it. You do not have to send

178
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: your kid to TK if you don't want to, but

179
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: if you do, your local public school has to offer it.

180
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: The story today is that schools are starting to introduce TK.

181
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: They're getting four year olds and there's a bit of

182
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: a problem. A lot of the teachers are ending up

183
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: wiping bottoms.

184
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: It's like how training issue, It's like having a homeless

185
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: people attending class.

186
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: Well, that really would seem to defeat the purpose of

187
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: anything important happening if you're spending all your time, you know,

188
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: helping the kids learn how to wipe themselves. With just

189
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: a few weeks left to prepare her four year old

190
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: for his first day in public school, Andrea Gayegos still

191
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: had a few things on her to do list. I'll

192
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: buy him a backpack, make him stop taking a daily nap,

193
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: but go to the toilet on his own. Her son

194
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: had been out of diapers for two years, but in preschool,

195
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: the teachers would supervise him in the bathroom, help him

196
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: wipe if he needed assistance, remind him to wash his

197
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: hands and change his clothing after the occasional accident. When

198
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: he starts TK and Lakeside, they'll have to manage everything

199
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: on his own. So she's acting as coach, talking her

200
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: son patiently to the steps of how to use the

201
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: bathroom alone. And that's been the problem. Potty training is

202
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: becoming an issue for public school districts because you know,

203
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: when you're dealing with a five year old or a

204
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: six year old, you're probably done with that. But four

205
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: year olds, I guess, are more in the ge.

206
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Do you think there was a reason since the beginning

207
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: of time we sent kids to school at age five

208
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: instead of age four. Maybe there was a reason for that,

209
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Maybe because at four, too many of them aren't ready

210
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: to be on their own and take care of themselves.

211
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: How about that? The California Department of Education received so

212
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: many questions on toilet training last year they clarified their policies.

213
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Schools must admit all age eligible children, regardless of whether

214
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: or not they're potty trained, but the state gives no

215
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: guidance to districts on how do you handle this, So

216
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: the teachers have to deal with kids filling their pants,

217
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: can't wipe.

218
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: And basically it's a diaper change or right, underwear change?

219
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: An underwear change? Right? And how do you take care

220
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: of all the kids in the class if you've got

221
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: a few of them with these problems? Now you have

222
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: a daycare center, you don't have a class. It's nonsense.

223
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to send your kidd four.

224
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: See if you put your kid in childcare, it says here,

225
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: if they're licensed, they're required to change diapers. They have

226
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: to help with using the toilet because that comes with

227
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: the job of taking kids into daycare or childcare. You

228
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: know that already that you're going to have some But

229
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: schools never really had this problem until they have to

230
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: implement transitional Kindergarten or TK because they didn't have four

231
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: year olds, right, why don't they?

232
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: They will only four year olds alone. The government, Oh,

233
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: it's this belief that we can really enrich all children

234
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: by starting them early on their road to learn. We

235
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: teach them all the fake pronouns at age four, at

236
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: Montebello Unified. Students still in diapers are sent to the

237
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: office where the nurse of the health day changes them. Yeah,

238
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: because this can also slow down. And you want to

239
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: call it a teacher, I don't know what you're really

240
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: teaching to four year olds. I don't know what you're

241
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: teaching either. I mean they have preschool, which is optional,

242
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: which is playtime. You go there for three hours. There

243
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: are some preschools that teach the alphabet and try to

244
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: help your kids learn how to read for those accelerated students. Yeah,

245
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: that was the idea behind pre school. But is this

246
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: TK thing mandated or is it still optional?

247
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: I said it's mandated for the public schools to offer it.

248
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: It is not mandated that your child go. So the

249
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: answer to your question is half and half. But that's

250
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: the problem.

251
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: The public schools have to offer it, even if they

252
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: only get like four kids, they have to have a

253
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: class of TK and they have to change diapers. Do

254
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: you get all the kids who are pain in the

255
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: neck whose parents don't want them around anymore and part

256
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: of the works is they can't. So it's free daycare, right,

257
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: It's free daycare, and it's free daycare instead of sending

258
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: your four year old child license daycare which you pay for,

259
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: just shove them into school. So all the kids who

260
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: can't control their bowels are sent off by their parents

261
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: who don't want to deal with it anymore. And they

262
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: get the teachers doing it for free.

263
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: They said they're getting a mix.

264
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: They get some kids that are toilet trained and know

265
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: what to do, and there are other kids that just

266
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: like drop a lump in their pants. Oh, listen to this.

267
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: They got one teacher here her students share a single

268
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: stall bathroom with fifty four students.

269
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh, accidents are a frequent problem. This is my ask

270
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: to bring an extra set of clothes. This is in

271
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: Long Beach.

272
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh, and they're sent to the office to change if

273
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: they don't make it to the toilet in time. Wow,

274
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: who wants that duty at the office?

275
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: Huh?

276
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Kids lined up with soiled pants. Oh, hey, you know,

277
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: it's like running a homeless shelter.

278
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: Apparently last year, two students showed up in the first

279
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: day and pull ups. The school did not provide diapering assistants. Instead,

280
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: she had an aid walk the children to the office

281
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: when a pull up became too full, and then parents

282
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: were called in to assist. Sometimes they have to sit

283
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: there for thirty to forty five minutes with their load.

284
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: In their pants.

285
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's terrible. That's the point.

286
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: Is there any learning? If that's that's what's going on doing?

287
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: You know what pull ups are? They're like diapers, except

288
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: you know a kid can pull them down and pull

289
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: them back up themselves. Right.

290
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: They're not like to tape their pin like old diapers are.

291
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Right, right, you don't have to lay them down, and

292
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: you know there's these little adhesive strips that hold the

293
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: thing tight. It's transitional, yeah, it's transitionalition. But the thing

294
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: is if if they if they have a big load

295
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: that they dump, then that it sits there just like

296
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: a diaper, and and you know, the whole class will

297
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: smell it.

298
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: They talked to a pediatric expert who said four is

299
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: too young to expect.

300
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: Independence and thoroughness one hundred percent of the time.

301
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: That's not realistic.

302
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: They're still learning where their body is in this space,

303
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: and their arms are too short to get all the

304
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: way around and rotate it.

305
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: Or to wipe themselves. I didn't think about that. Oh,

306
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: and then other kids ask, why do you smell? Oh,

307
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: that's a tough start to light and that can stick

308
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: with you for years.

309
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, nicknames, and.

310
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: It affects their self esteem and lowers their confidence. Oh

311
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: you spoke at that.

312
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: The woman at the beginning of this story said that

313
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: she now gives them fiber for dinner and yogurt for

314
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: breakfast so they can use the bathroom before school so

315
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: they're done with they're dump for the day.

316
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: That gets things going right away. So fiber for dinner

317
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: so they wake up ready to go. I guess I

318
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Oh my god, sad. Can you just let

319
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: him like sit home and play?

320
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: We want to be first. We got the kids that

321
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: are in kindergarten.

322
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Nobody can be left alone. Nobody in this state. Everybody

323
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: it's harassed by the big ugly government. There's always a

324
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: no at all to tell you what to do. We'll

325
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: be back. Johnny KENKFIM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1: We're on the radio one until four after four o'clock,

329

Speaker 1: which is soon. Oh man, you missed a lot of

330
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: good stuff today. John and can on demand the podcast,

331
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: so pick it up. We're not done though, we got

332
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: more good stuff. Well, we're now going to go to

333
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: the world of self driving cars. San Francisco is the

334
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: big city where they're trying them out. The big companies

335
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: are Cruise and WAIM and they have of course been

336
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: testing them out on the streets of San Francisco for

337
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: some time now. If you've ever been up there, it's

338
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: pretty easy to identify a Waymo or a Cruise car

339
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: just because it's got like a little siren on the top.

340
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: It goes round and there's nobody behind the steering wheel anyway,

341
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: there are some problems for these companies. First, they face

342
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: whether or not they can continue to be approved to

343
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: do these experiments on the streets of San Francisco. Secondly,

344
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: the City of San Francisco says the number of reported

345
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: incidents involving crews and Weymo vehicles have tripled in recent months. Now.

346
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: Cruis and Weymo say their cars haven't caused any traffic

347
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: fatalities in their first million miles driven. Weymo says it's

348
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: self driving vehicles in fully autonomous mode didn't cause any

349
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: collisions with human drivers. There have been some other incidents,

350
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: but something else that's been going on in San Francisco,

351
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: and you could guess this would be the place there's

352
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: a rebellion Safe Street Rebel, that's their names. They don't

353
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: like cars. People should be walking, biking and using public transit.

354
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: So they go out there and they provide obstructions to

355
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 2: the self driving cars, like putting a cone on top

356
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: of it or a cone in the middle of the street.

357
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: So apparently what happens to the Weimo car It stops.

358
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: And it just sits there. It puts its flashers on

359
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: if you put the cone on top of the car,

360
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: like on that hood. Oh oh, because it messes up

361
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: the censors. Yeah, they can't. They can't. They think something's

362
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: blocking it, right, so it won't move right. I wish

363
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: that worked with people like annoying people just put a

364
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: cone on their heads.

365
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: Weimo calls us a form of vandalism. The group had

366
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: been putting videos up on TikTok to celebrate their accomplishments.

367
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: They've taken them down. I guess they don't want to

368
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: get sued. Weimo has raised more than five point seven

369
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: billion dollars yeah for this self driving thing, but both companies.

370
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Cruise's annual losses. It's now approaching three

371
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: and a half billion dollars. For twenty twenty twenty two,

372
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: his annual loss was nearly three and a half billion dollars.

373
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: Because they're investing a lot on these experiments on the streets,

374
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: but right now they don't have approval and we don't

375
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: know how close they are approval. To make this a reality, well,

376
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: they've got unlimited venture capital money.

377
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: All right.

378
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: The idea is to have an on demand taxi service,

379
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: So instead of looking for an Uber driver, they would

380
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: just send you a driverless Waymo car to your house

381
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: and you know, would have already loaded where it's taken

382
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: you and boom it would take you.

383
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: Have you been in one of these?

384
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 3: I have not not in this complete self driving car.

385
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: Mark Thompson took one. He posted a video of himself

386
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: sitting in the back seat of a self shaving taxi,

387
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: so there was no one else in the car, just him.

388
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: I believe it was just him.

389
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, It says here.

390
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: When consumers were asked what is the maximum level of

391
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: automation you'd be comfortable with, eighteen percent said uh no,

392
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: automation fifteen percent and said, well in an emergency, the

393
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: features that are usually inactive but activate only in certain events,

394
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: such as a collision. Forty said, features that actively help

395
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: the driver while the driver remains in control.

396
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: That's kind of what you have with Tesla.

397
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, here's the thing that I'd want answered from

398
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: these executives. I know the driver, even if he's a dope,

399
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: wants to live. You know, there's a self preservation instinct

400
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: in every human. So when something happens, he's going to

401
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: do something to save his own life, right, because he

402
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: doesn't want to die. He doesn't want to get hurt.

403
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: Now does the car have that? Well, the car doesn't

404
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: have a consciousness or a sense of.

405
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: Survival.

406
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Is survival right, because it doesn't really exist to begin with.

407
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

408
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: But they'll tell you that technology is almost fool proof.

409
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe anything they say. With the sensors right,

410
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: and then sticks, and then somebody puts an orange cone

411
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: on the hood and the thing stops dead. So whatever

412
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: the technology is, they couldn't figure out a way around

413
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: the orange cone.

414
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: Cruise has applied for permission from the California DMV to

415
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 2: expand statewide and operate its cars as speeds of up

416
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: to fifty five miles an hour.

417
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: That's what they're asking to do. You don't have to

418
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: take it, but you don't want to on the road,

419
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: but you could crash into you. It could. I'm looking,

420
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Would I take it? Oh?

421
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: Waimo began offering driverless rides in Los Angeles in February.

422
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: That must be what Mark did, and this week has

423
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: announced plans to offer the hal riding service in Austin, Texas.

424
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

425
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: I just.

426
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: There were incidents where a Weimo drove into a construction site,

427
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: nearly rolling into an open trench. A firefighter needed to

428
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: break a cruise's window to stop it from driving into

429
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: an active fire scene.

430
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, kept on going. So these are

431
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: some of the incidents that were active fire seat right,

432
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: So what are you supposed to do when you're sitting

433
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: in the back seat. It's not programmed to recognize in

434
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: the fire seat and your car is driving into a fire.

435
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: You can't yell hey stop, that's a fire in front

436
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: of you.

437
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 2: Waimo says one hundred thousand people have signed up on

438
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: their waiting list to access their taxi service. They're ready

439
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: to go, they say, with a client.

440
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: List, Well, you go first, they fire you go all yes,

441
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand go first. See how many of you

442
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: come back.

443
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: We could both use this drive around burd Bank at

444
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 2: it and see what happens to us.

445
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: No, can you go first, go into a ditch. It's

446
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: it's it's not really good at dealing with the unexpected.

447
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, other drivers are full of unexpected things. So

448
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: are squirrels and cats and dogs, and I don't know,

449
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: it's little kids.

450
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: All right, we got more coming up.

451
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: Johnny kenkf I AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

452
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

453
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

454
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 2: All right, I like this headline. Zoom is asking its

455
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: employees to return to the office.

456
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Ironic. Yeah, the tech company to help millions of people

457
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: work from home is tired of its employees being far away.

458
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: And of course this is coming up more and more

459
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: often that people want people. Well, they're only asking to

460
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: come back, at least on a part time basis. That

461
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: seems to be the result I'm hearing in most stories

462
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: and reading.

463
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: It's a hybrid situation.

464
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: So you return just a few days a week and

465
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: don't have to return every day. Who knows five years

466
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: from now. It maybe you're coming in every day or

467
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: you're done. But depends who has the upper hand, right.

468
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it changes like Mondays and Fridays are the most

469
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: like days that no one will show up, right, Like

470
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: you got no one there? Right? But huh like today? No,

471
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: actually that's not true. I went up to the fifth

472
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: floor because you know, they moved a lot of bodies

473
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: up there, so there were some up there today. You

474
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: did that of your own accord. I wandered up there.

475
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always looking for money. Is there I'll

476
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: talk to I'll talk to people if there's money involved.

477
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good to know.

478
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm not talking to you.

479
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: There was a World triathlon champion. This is the second story.

480
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: This how we're going to do with poopy, isn't it?

481
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: Just realized that we did the TK transitional in kindergarten

482
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: story where the kids are not potty drained, the four

483
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: year olds and sometimes teachers and staff have to take

484
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: care of business. At least fifty seven people fell ill

485
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: with sickness and diarrhea after competing in sea swimming events

486
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: at the World Triathlon Championship Series. I guess this is

487
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: in Britain. Yeah, yeah, Sunderland's Blue Flag Roker Beach. Two

488
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: thousand people participated in the events. The UK Health Security

489
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: Agency said it would be testing samples from those who

490
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: were ill to establish the cause of the illness and

491
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: any common pathogens. But apparently three days before the event

492
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: they did some testing and it showed thirty nine hundred

493
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: E Coli colonies per one hundred milliliters. That's more than

494
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: thirty nine times higher than typical readings.

495
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: Right, so a lot of poop was dumped into the

496
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: water before they had the event.

497
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: How does that happen?

498
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's just like runoff sewage sewage systems. Yeah, yeah,

499
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: that's why they always tell people in southern California do

500
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: not go in the water near the piers because that's

501
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: often where those pipelines are that sweep out the streets

502
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: where a dog who comes fi. Yeah. No, when we

503
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: walk on the beach, we'll walk through an area where

504
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: you could see this this really big pipeline coming out

505
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: of Santa Monica Pacific Palisades, and that's all the neighborhood

506
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: pooh water the runo right, and oh animal pooh right,

507
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: homeless pooh and all that is they create a channel

508
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: leading to the pipe and then here it comes and

509
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: then the channel goes out into the ocean.

510
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: As they like to call it raw sewage. It is

511
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 3: not treated in any manner.

512
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: So well, the British Diathlon said, well, you know where

513
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: they did the testing, that's not where the events.

514
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: Were, so it was different waters.

515
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

516
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of participants said they should have called

517
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: this off.

518
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Well, one of the one of the athletes, said, have

519
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: been feeling pretty rubbish since the race. Oh British, yeah, rush,

520
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: But I guess that's what happens when you swim and bleep.

521
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, that's right. That's why he said the

522
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: swim should have been canceled.

523
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

524
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: One athlete said, at least I know what got me

525
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other athletes who race sick and ill.

526
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: Another wrote that now explains why I spent Monday night

527
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: with my head in the toilet after racing Sunday morning.

528
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, unprecedented levels of E. Coli. Well over, what's natural

529
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: for this water body or safe for human recreational use.

530
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: I wonder if it was some certain dump event that

531
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: they could figure out, or is it always like that?

532
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. You can't trust governments. They don't care.

533
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 2: One participant said she had not fallen ill, but fell

534
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: a competitors suffered stomach upsets. Yeah, who like to swim

535
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: outdoors but don't have any confidence in the cleanliness of seas, rivers,

536
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: lakes because of the dumping of sewage or other affluence.

537
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: Affluence, I mean, how much water you swallow when you

538
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: swim in the ocean. Imagine how many E. Coli micro

539
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: organisms are floating around inside your gut.

540
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: It's also not good to take in seawater itself.

541
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: E kill you. No, But plus, all the sea life

542
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: is pooping too. Birds are pooping, to whales and dolphins poop.

543
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: I guess everybody's pooping. No, the seals, and yeah, I

544
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: don't go into ocean water. I guess the sea lions

545
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: stopped dying from that infection. I haven't heard anything lately.

546
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: Remember that was a month or.

547
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: Two ago that they were that alley.

548
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: They get weird waves where you have these What was

549
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: it last year? It was a die off of birds.

550
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: I think pelicans.

551
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: Maybe, Well, yeah, there was a oh yeah, they're right, pelicans.

552
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: It's right. There were a bunch of birds that were

553
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: suffering from something that they ingested or and this year

554
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: the sea lions got it right, right, But I just

555
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: I just assume all bodies of water are filled with

556
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: public pools. Yeah, public pools. Can you imagine little kids,

557
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: all all the little kids who struggled with toilet training.

558
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: I never thought about it until I started doing this show.

559
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: And then I'm reading all these stories, and I'm like, oh,

560
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: maybe it's probably not a too many public pools.

561
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: When we'd go to hotels or resorts, right, and kids

562
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: want to swim in the public pool, you couldn't leave

563
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: the stench of chlorine because oh yeah, it's extremely heavy.

564
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: It's extremely It's almost as disgusting as swimming in the

565
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: poopy water. It's so strong. I'm thinking this can't be

566
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: healthy for me either. I mean, I don't want the

567
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: poopy water in my system, but this chlorine can't be

568
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: doing me any good.

569
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: Just foul stuff.

570
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: People are disgusting, all right. We got Tim Conway.

571
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 5: Hey, no, hey, now, hey, you know I can tell

572
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 5: how you can tell when people swim a lot they

573
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: have no eyebrows, the eyebrows bleaches out there. Well, then

574
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: you bleach might just takes the hair right off. I mean,

575
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 5: there's nothing there. If you watch any of these male

576
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: or female swimmers, they got no eyebrows.

577
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: If they bowled then because they were bathing caps.

578
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, bathing caps. And but I've never seen them.

579
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 5: You know what their their privates look like.

580
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: Pubic cares good. That's research that's needed. I like to

581
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: see that, though not on the girls. But you know,

582
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: we have a very sad story.

583
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 5: Steve Gregor is coming on and talk about these three

584
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 5: brave firefighters that were killed in Cabazon.

585
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: So we have all the details. That was a horrible,

586
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: horrible story, just the absolute worst.

587
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: After that Zoom, remember when we were all on Zoom,

588
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 5: I never was you weren't.

589
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: No, I refused. You know what it is though, No,

590
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: if somebody said you have to come on a Zoom,

591
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: I said, I will never speak with you again for

592
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: the rest of my life, just for asking. Is that true? Yes? No,

593
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: I can't. I so anyway, Ken, Yes, I'm here.

594
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: I've been on Zoom many times.

595
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 4: Zoom.

596
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: There may the employees that work for Zoom are being

597
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 5: told to go back to work.

598
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: I know, isn't that it is that great?

599
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 5: Because their invention is really irritating and annoying. Right, I

600
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 5: couldn't figure it out half the time. Robin would get

601
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: really pissed at me because everybody else knows how to get.

602
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: On, but you. I'm like, well John doesn't because John's

603
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: an idiot.

604
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 5: And yeah, well, so I was at Walmart last night,

605
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: not bragging, but I've made a couple of bucks. You know,

606
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 5: could slide in there, sure, get some pickups, some items.

607
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: And there are five people charging their electric car, and

608
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 5: there are five cars waiting for an empty charger. Oh yeah,

609
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: and I drive drive by in just a little hump.

610
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not I'm moving on.

611
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: I gassed up. Yeah, absoline thing really works well.

612
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 5: But I wonder what, you know, And every one of

613
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: them is in their car while it's charging, and I

614
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: wonder what they're doing, you know, are.

615
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: They are they rolling through their phone?

616
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Are they going to.

617
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: Car Max to try to figure out how to load

618
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 5: this thing?

619
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: So they're they're charging, and they're sitting in the car

620
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: waiting for the charge. That's right. That could go on

621
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: for hours. It could go on for an hour and

622
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: a half. Yeah, but but you know what, But but

623
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you guys might otherwise be sitting at home doing it that.

624
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,360
