1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Chris Merrill back for Johnnington. K if I am six 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: or forty more stimulating talk. Good to be back with you. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: It is always a pleasure. It's an honor. I always 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: love to see Mark too. Mark. 5 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: Last time I talked to you, it feels like it 6 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 2: was last year. I feel like we're still becoming close. 7 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: We've worked a lot together lately. Happy New Year too. 8 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: Yet I know I like it. I like it. I 9 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, that was my bad, my bad New 10 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Year joke of the year, because because I normally I 11 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: hate those things. Somebody you see some I was seeing 12 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: people on Saturday and they're like, Oh, see you next year. 13 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: Oh. 14 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: I can't stand that. It's just the worst. 15 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: Everyone gets a free pass on New Year's Eve. 16 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: And I guess I just go, Oh, that's original, isn't it. Yeah, 17 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm not. Oftentimes I'll give a courtesy laugh for things, 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: but not on that. I don't give the courtesy laugh 19 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: for the whole sea next year stuff. 20 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: Oh. 21 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: I can't stand that. Oh it drives me crazy bonkers. 22 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: And then Mark, you were just talking about the rain, 23 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: rain and rain and rain. We had rain on New 24 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Year's Eve. And then in the news day you know 25 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: it was just a mess. And then I was seeing 26 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: what they had up north. Holy Cow, what was it 27 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: the second heaviest rain total in San Francisco in one 28 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty years or something like seventy yeah, undred 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: seventy years. Wow, man, oh man, that's just impressive. And 30 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking, well, this is probably good, right, This 31 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: is probably good for the drought, especially when you get 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: when the mountains are getting a bunch of snowfall, because 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: that snowfall acts like a natural reservoir, and that seems good. 34 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: I feel like this's a good thing. And then you 35 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: get the stories of snow pack and that seems wonderful. 36 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: And then of course we get these other stories. As 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: you said, one person, one person died so far? Is 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: that right? 39 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: I believe so. I don't have the details right in 40 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: front of me, but that sounds correct. 41 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: Well. 42 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: I was seeing people too that were headed into areas 43 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have been headed into with their vehicles, and 44 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: that's not a smart thing to do. I think't that 45 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: much for your car to get lifted up. 46 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: Think that happens a lot when it rains, and especially 47 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: in southern California. When I was getting off work Friday night, 48 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: or maybe it was Saturday. It's been raining so long 49 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: that it's blending together at like a Ray Bradbury story. 50 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: I was hearing about cars and trucks durning sideways on 51 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: the one oh one on the way home, and I 52 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: just avoided it altogether. But I don't think people are 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: great at driving in the rain here. 54 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: No, not great at driving in the rain. And then 55 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: when they do see roads that are flooded, I think 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: there's an overconfidence that occurs, and it really doesn't take much. 57 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: The thing that freaks me out about the about the 58 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: wet roadways, and I'm not talking about just damp roadways 59 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: where you have hydrid planning issues, but when you have 60 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: water standing water in the roadways, it's not so much 61 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: that I'm concerned about my vehicle not making it through, 62 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: although I should be. For me, it's the worry that 63 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: I can't see what's under that does that make sense? 64 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: So if the water is over the roadway, it's possible 65 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: that there's an area roadway that's washed out, or as 66 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a sinkholes developed or something and you 67 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: can't see that. That's what always worries me the most. 68 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: If you've seen. 69 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I think you're on a delay and it's 70 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: causing us to talk over each other. I think if 71 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: you've seen a lot of old Warner Brothers cartoons, you 72 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: know to avoid the puzzles because it could be an 73 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: inch deep or you could go down over your head. 74 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. You are, You're spot on, 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: You're you're picking up what I'm putting down here. I 76 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: did wonder about the the impacts about of the rain 77 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: on the drought, and we had the same thing happened 78 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: last year where we had a whole bunch of water 79 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: come down, a lot of rain in the early months 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: of the winter, and then it just kind of just disappeared, 81 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: and that was a bit of a downer. I see 82 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: that Fox, I think it was Fox eleven was running 83 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: the story from the Fox in the Bay Area. So 84 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: this is what they sent one other reporters out to 85 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: take a look at the reservoirs and see if the 86 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: reservoirs were getting any fuller. Go ahead there, Eric play there. 87 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: The backbones of California's water supply are the six mega reservoirs, Shasta, Araville, Trinity, 88 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: New Malonis, Don Pedro, and San Luis. Back on November 89 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: the eighth, the state's six biggest mega reservoirs were thirty 90 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: three percent full. 91 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: In normal years, there. 92 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: Will have been fifty four percent full, but the drought 93 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: kept them low. Seven weeks later, midnight December thirtieth, they 94 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: were thirty four percent full. As of midnight December thirty first, 95 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: the atmospheric river added another whole percent, up to thirty 96 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: five percent. That's an enormous game, but still well below 97 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: where they should be. That means that our largest dams 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 4: remain sixty five percent empty, requiring many more storms to 99 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: get to the normal levels. 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: It's going to take more than this to get us 101 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: out of the hole we've dugged ourselves. 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 4: Now, what's critically important about all of this is we 103 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: need to keep getting these atmospheric rivers, and plenty of them. 104 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: The benefit, of course, is that what happens is with 105 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: more water, you have less of the regulations that people 106 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: don't like, and also water prices do not spike as 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 4: they normally will when you have shortages. The downside of 108 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: courses there is the local damage and all of that 109 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 4: stuff that happens. But on balance, we're doing well so 110 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: far this year. But we're doing pretty well the same 111 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 4: time a year ago, and that kind of fizzled out. 112 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. 113 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: Reporting live Tom Baker ATVU Fox Too New. 114 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: Thanks Tom. You heard one little quote there from the 115 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: California State climatologist, as doctor Mike Anderson. He said, it's 116 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: going to take a lot more than this to get 117 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: us out of the hole that we've dug ourselves, meaning 118 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: that we're using more water than is available. And we're 119 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: hoping then that the storms that we had last weekend 120 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: and then what we're seeing coming in this week, and 121 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: there'll be some more this week as well, continue to 122 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: sort of fill those reservoirs. The snowpack is going to 123 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: be a huge help come spring, and if we continue 124 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: to get more rain, then that's great. The problem in 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: rain and snow, of course, the problem, as he put it, 126 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: is the sort of the danger that it poses to humans. 127 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys caught this. I'm 128 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: dive into it a little bit more later on the show. 129 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: But Jeremy Renner got injured. Did you say that? Jeremy Renner, 130 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: the guy from the Marvel movies and hurt Locker and. 131 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, while plowing snow and that is potentially horrifying. 132 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: It is horrifying he got his What I'm reading is 133 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: we're getting a little bit of information that's sort of 134 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: trickling out as the different news agencies, especially TMZ, is 135 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: gonna go knock on every door in that area around 136 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe where Renner lives. Sounds like the snow cat 137 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: the plow that he was driving somehow ran over his leg, 138 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: and they said that there were other injuries as well, 139 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: and I guess it really damaged his leg, which is, 140 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: as you put it, Mark, horrifying. I want to I'll 141 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: get into that a little bit later on because I 142 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: just started thinking about the mechanics of the whole thing, 143 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: and one of the articles I was reading is that 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: what may be the most concerning is all the different 145 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: safety features those plows have to prevent such a thing 146 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: from happening, and we don't know, we don't know exactly 147 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: how it happened. I have some ideas based on experience. 148 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: I've never driven the snow cap and I've done some 149 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: plowing with tractors and things, so I'll kind of walk 150 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: you through how something could happen, and again, until we 151 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: get more information specific to that incident. We won't really know, 152 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: but I'll give you some ideas on what may have happened, 153 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: and if the story comes out, then you'll have an 154 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: idea of what that might be. Now, in just a 155 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: few moments, we're having a complete turnover in Washington, DC 156 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: as Congress is flipping control. The House is flipping control 157 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: from the Democrats to the Republicans. But there still seems 158 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: to be a lot of negotiating going on back and 159 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: forth over who the leadership is going to be. We'll 160 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: check in on what's hapen happening in DC next Chris 161 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: merrill In for Johnny kN k IF. I am six 162 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: forty We're live everywhere in your Heart Radio at Chris 163 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: merrill In for John Kent Today. The House speakership, we 164 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: think in Washington is going to end up going to 165 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: another California. He goes from Nancy Pelosi California into likely 166 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California. So from the Democrat 167 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: to representation of California to the Republican representation of California. 168 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: And you thought Republicans of California were extinct. No, However, 169 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: there's a big question about how Kevin McCarthy is going 170 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: to get enough votes to become Speaker of the House. 171 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: From New York Times. Representative Kevin McCarthy, California Republican leader, 172 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: toiled on Monday, the day before his party was to 173 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: assume the House majority, to lock down the votes he 174 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: needs to be elected speaker, having so far failed to 175 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: break through entrenched opposition from the hard right lawmakers. Joining 176 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: us to explain this a little more is our ABC 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: News correspondent Andy Field. Andy, we all thought Kevin McCarthy 178 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: was the heir apparent, but it doesn't seem quite so apparent. 179 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, no, it doesn't. There are at least five 180 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: holdouts in his party, and it could be as many 181 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: as nine. They leave a four vote majority in the 182 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: in the House, which means they need at least those 183 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 3: four out of those five holdouts for Kevin McCarthy to 184 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: become the next speaker. Now, Kevin McCarthy's done a bit 185 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 3: of a presumptuous thing. He's already moved into the speaker zone. 186 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: He hasn't yet, so it will be interesting to see 187 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: if he doesn't get it, and it's you know, there, 188 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: it's going to be a little chaotic tomorrow if he 189 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: doesn't get it in the first vote, because there's no 190 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: other alternative that's going to get enough votes right now. 191 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 3: And if that happens and they close out the day 192 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: with no House speaker, the House cannot operate under the 193 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: rules of the House unless you have a House speaker. 194 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: They can't pass a law. They can't even pass National 195 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 3: Cherry Pie Day. They just can't do any of that stuff, 196 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: although National Cherry Pie Day would be fantastic. Yeah, so 197 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: he's busy giving away the store, doing everything that these 198 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: five pretty far right Republicans want him to do. For example, 199 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: they wanted to say, hey, if we don't think you're 200 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 3: doing a good job, we want to bring up that 201 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: we can fire you from the job and get someone else. 202 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: The threshold for that right now is really high. You 203 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: need almost half of your delegation to do that, so 204 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 3: it almost never happens. He has agreed to let the 205 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: vote be brought up by five people now. Doesn't mean 206 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: it's going to pass. Likely it wouldn't pass, but at 207 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: least they get to air their grievances every time they 208 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: don't like something like he past attacks or he raised 209 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: the dead feeling, or you know, whatever he brought up 210 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: as House Speaker, and they don't like it, they could 211 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 3: basically call for the whole House to vote him out 212 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: of office. That really cuts him off at the knees 213 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: in terms of power in the House. They've done other 214 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 3: things that are just just inexplicable. They've he's agreed to 215 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: get rid of the metal detectors at the doors of 216 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: the House that were put in after January sixth, so 217 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: that people couldn't sneak guns or weapons onto the floor. Well, 218 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: there are a lot of very far right Republicans who 219 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 3: didn't like it. They like to carry their firearms around 220 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: the Capitol, and they said, no, we don't like it. 221 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green got fined almost your entire salary for 222 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: doing that. So he's agreed, dal we'll get rid of 223 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: that too. So the odds of having a shootout on 224 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: the House floor now greatly increased. 225 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: So Andy field Er ABC News corresponded, why is McCarthy 226 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: then dealing with these people? It is why not go 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: see if you can find some moderate Democrats? 228 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 3: Or is it? 229 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: Does it all come down to the Republicans? 230 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 3: Oh, the Democrats are they're getting popcorn. They're gonna be 231 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: sitting in the wings watching this thing. Yeah, they want 232 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: to see these guys explode. Look, you know, the bottom 233 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: line is whoever's House Speaker for this next House of 234 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 3: Representatives is not gonna have a whole lot of power. 235 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: They've got a four vote majority, and they don't seem 236 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 3: to have leadership that can corral all of their members 237 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: all at once to vote and watch them, as Nancy 238 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: Pelosi was much better at doing, apparently, or at least 239 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: in the later years of her tenure there. But all 240 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: of that's a mood point because no matter what they 241 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: try to pass, if they try to get rid of 242 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act again, or they try to pass 243 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 3: a law that outlaws abortion everywhere in every state, it's 244 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: not going anywhere because they don't have the votes in 245 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: the Senate and they certainly don't have the vote in 246 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: the White House. So a lot of this is going 247 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: to be symbolic gestures, just as they were under former 248 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: President Trump when the House, I think they voted to 249 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: overturn the Affordable Care Act dozens of times, but they 250 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: didn't have the votes in the Senate, so it never 251 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 3: went anywhere. But they can go back to their constituents 252 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 3: when they have to run for re election every two 253 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: years and say, look at those terrible Democrats. They keep 254 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: blocking what you want us to do, So go vote 255 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: more Democrats and we'll get it done. 256 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: Is that the plan by the people in what they're 257 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: calling the America First Republicans? I see Andy Biggs has 258 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: tweeted out the left is taking control of our institutions. 259 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: The leadership of both parties have facilitated the takeover of them. 260 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: And now when America First Republicans have a chance to 261 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: effectuate change, even our own are fighting that the Speaker's 262 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: race tomorrow will be revolutionary. I don't know if that's 263 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: indicative of a surprise we're going to see tomorrow or 264 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: if Biggs, who's part I think he's one of these 265 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: five that you're talking about, Andy, Yeah, leave you know, 266 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: are they just saying that, you know? Is he saying 267 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: this is going to be a huge deal because we're 268 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: going to get all these different concessions. What is the 269 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: end game for for this group of five to nine 270 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: representatives on the right. 271 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: They want power, they want they you know, it's oh gosh, 272 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: what was the name of that movie where the woman 273 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: told Michael Douglas, I will not be ignored. 274 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what Charan was that warre of the roses. No, 275 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't worth the roses. I know what. 276 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 3: I can't remember. She was killing a rabbit, right attraction? Yeah, yes, Uh, 277 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: you know they're basically Glenn Close saying we will not 278 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: be ignored. It's Andy Diggs, Matt Gates, Bob Good of Virginia, 279 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: Matt Rosendale of Montana, Ralph Norman of South Carolina. And 280 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: there's a whole list of people who haven't say they 281 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: still say they're not convinced. So that's five. And then 282 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: you add Paul Gossar and uh, a couple of Representative 283 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: Alexa there Roy Scott Perry of Pennsylvania. These are people 284 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: at the further right end of the spectrum in the 285 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: Republican Party who don't think Kevin McCarthy's radical enough for them. 286 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: So how does this end? Andy Field, or ABC News correspondent, 287 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: as you pointed out. 288 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: Their house, that's why the popcorn concession stand is loading 289 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: up tonight, because we don't know. It could very well 290 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: be that, for the first time in one hundred years, 291 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: they don't elect the speaker on the first ballot, And 292 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: at the end the day, and the session closes and 293 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: nothing happens. In fact, no one's actually even sworn in. 294 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: You cannot swear in the rest of the of the 295 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: House until a speaker is chosen, So you're just going 296 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: to have a whole bunch of members elect waiting to 297 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: do something, and then they'll come back the next day 298 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: and they'll try to work something out. But it seems 299 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: as though Kevin McCarthy's going to have to keep giving 300 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 3: up more and more power in order to get the 301 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,359 Speaker 3: votes from these folks. 302 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: A rather auspicious start to the new Congress. Andy Field, 303 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: our ABC News correspondent Andy Love, talking to you. Thanks 304 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: for your coverage on this, appreciate it. 305 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: Take care. 306 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know how this plays out, but 307 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: I got to tell you it doesn't look good. When 308 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: people are looking for leadership and the leaders can't figure 309 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: out how to even decide their own leadership, It certainly 310 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: doesn't bode well. But look, we're almost a full two 311 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: years from the next election, so how much of this 312 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: will even be remembered in two weeks hard to say. 313 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of what's happening there in a DC and in Congress, 314 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: there is a congressional mess coming as Andy was saying, 315 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: some of those don't want to be ignored. Okay, we 316 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: got some big items on the next agenda. That's next, 317 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: Chris Merrill And for John and Ken Kay if I 318 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: am six forty Live everywhere on your Heart radio app 319 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: watching what's going on in Washington, and I gotta tell you, 320 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't like to watch a whole lot of I 321 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: don't like to talk a whole lot of politics because frankly, 322 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: it's it's just gossip. But as gossip goes, this is 323 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: a pretty interesting thing going on now as there's a 324 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: tiff between the far right and the center right in Washington, 325 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: and they don't seem to know if they're gonna be 326 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: able to get Kevin McCarthy installed as the new speaker. 327 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: And if they don't, you can't do anything else. You 328 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: can't even set the House rules, you can't do any 329 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: of that stuff. So it's a bit of a mess 330 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: right now. Marjorie Taylor Green sharing details of the new 331 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: rules that will govern the House of Representatives if they 332 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: can vote Kevin McCarthy in. So the first thing they 333 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: have to do is they have to come up with 334 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: a new Speaker of the House. If it's Kevin McCarthy. 335 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: Then they move forward and they can set their rules, 336 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: the proposed rules which would have to be passed then 337 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: after McCarthy is installed as a Speaker of the House 338 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: if he wins, the vote includes a resolution to create 339 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: a subcommittee to probe quote the weaponization of the federal 340 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: government end quote under President Joe Biden's administration. So I 341 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: guess we start with a new Weaponization of the Federal 342 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: Government committee. I don't know if that's what we call it, 343 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: the WAFFGA. According to Green, we are so serious. It's 344 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: not just a goal, it's a rule establish a select 345 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate 346 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: the full extent of the Biden administration's assault on the 347 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: constitutional rights of American citizens. So we'll be able to 348 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: watch that play out. Oh I'm here for it. Oh, 349 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait to watch that. What 350 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: a good use of all kinds of time. But look, 351 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: there's a no AFU lot of people that go, oh, 352 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: it's true. We have this issue in America where anytime 353 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: we've got leadership that does something we don't agree with, 354 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: we tend to say it's unconstitutional. And they've shredded the Constitution, 355 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: or my favorite is they're wiping their butts with the Constitution. 356 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that one has the most imagery attached 357 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: to it, and so I appreciate it the most. But 358 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: is it See the Constitution doesn't say that we all 359 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: have to agree on everything, but it doesn't stop people 360 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: from claiming that whatever they don't like is unconstitutional. Oh, 361 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: this is going to be a fun couple of years. 362 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: This is going to be a blast. The new Congress 363 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: has new priorities, and many of those will involve investigations, 364 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: not only the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the 365 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: Federal government, but we're going to get to the bottom 366 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: of what is in Hunter Biden's laptop. This is where 367 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to see a ton of energy used 368 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: on it, but I'd like to see some I would 369 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: I want to see what is going on with the laptop. 370 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: The representative from Kentucky, Representative of James Comer is slated 371 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: to chair the House Oversight Committee. That is, of course, 372 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: if they can get a new Speaker of the House 373 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: and then move forward. Comer has promised extensive investigations into 374 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's financial dealings and compliance with tax laws. Concerned 375 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: about whether Joe Biden has been compromised by son Hunter 376 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: Biden's business interests. For it, I am, according to Comer 377 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: and an op ed for The Wall Street Journal, if 378 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: mister Biden's family members have deals with foreign adversaries that 379 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: could compromise his decision making as president in a way 380 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: that threatens national security, awesome. Absolutely, If our leader has 381 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: been compromised, I want to know. And I run into 382 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: this a lot. Here's the deal on this, though. You 383 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: have to be balanced in your application, right, So I'm 384 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: all for it. Investigate Hunter Biden's financial dealings, and if 385 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: there's something wrong, he needs to face he needs to 386 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: face trial for that. He needs to be punished. Absolutely, 387 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: if that is bled over and it's somehow influenced President Biden. 388 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: And this is where it gets a little bit tricky 389 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: where we talk about actual influence versus political handwringing. So 390 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden has been legally influenced, if we entie 391 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden to doing some shady dealings, impeachim, get him 392 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: out of there. But if you say, well, Hunter Biden 393 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: was on this board and this board was friendly to China. 394 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: Therefore Joe Biden must be tied to it. That's a 395 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: little more tenuous. It's good for political fodder, but it's 396 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: not something you can actually show. It's straw man stuff, right, 397 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: you can't really do that. But if the president has 398 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: been compromised, absolutely, but remember this then going forward, this 399 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: is your president. And unfortunately, what we've seen is that 400 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: the parties tend to rally behind their own leader and 401 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: they go, well, President Trump would never be compromised. So 402 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner may have had dealings with Saudi Arabia, that 403 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: doesn't mean President Trump had anything to do with it, right, 404 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: and I'm five. If President Trump didn't have anything to 405 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: do with it, great. Likewise, if Joe Biden doesn't have 406 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: anything to do with anything Hunter Biden is doing, then 407 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: you have to accept that. That's not how it plays out, though, 408 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: because politics is a team sport, and we all know 409 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: the other team is always cheating. It doesn't matter if 410 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: you're talking politics or or if you're talking sports, the 411 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: other team is always cheating. Or the refs screwed us. 412 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: That's the other one too. It's the ref screwed us, 413 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: which is why we end up getting a whole lot 414 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: of activist judges are ruining America. That's the equivalent of 415 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: the refs screwed us in that game. And look, I'm 416 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: a Michigan fan. I watched the refs take a touchdown 417 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: off the board on Saturday, and then Michigan couldn't punch 418 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: it in. They fumbled the ball and they didn't get 419 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown. They lost by six points, and if they 420 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: had scored that touchdown, they would have had seven points. 421 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: But you know, am I screaming the ref screwed us 422 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: a little bit? But the fact is this team has 423 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: to win the game, right and instead of US fans, 424 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 1: we always go the refs screwed us, the other team cheated, 425 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. However, then there are those politicians 426 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: that really are doing some things that are shady. And 427 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: if you've been following the saga of George Santos as 428 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: our last guest, Andy Field from ABC, put it stock 429 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: up at the concession stand, because you're gonna need popcorn 430 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: for this one. Santos a Republican elected in New York's 431 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: third congressional district in a recent midterm election, beating out 432 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: Democratic nominee Robert Zimmerman. Several weeks after his election, numerous 433 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: reports emerged claiming that Santos had fabricated numerous aspects of 434 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: the backstory that he campaigned on, including his work, history, education, 435 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: religious background, and charitable work this Newsweek. On Sunday, a 436 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: report from New York Times uncovered yet more details from 437 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: the congressman Congressman elects passed, including more allegations of serial 438 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: dishonesty that's a bit dramatic. The report cited allegations from 439 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: Pedro Villarva, who claimed to have started dating Santos in 440 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. Valarva was eighteen at the time, Santos was 441 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: twenty six. Okay whatever, totally legal. As Vlarva told the outlet, 442 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: their relationship began to falter in twenty fifteen due to 443 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: a variety of situations, including one which he accused Santos 444 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: of surprising with tickets to Hawaii that did not actually exist, 445 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: and another in which you believe Santos stole his phone 446 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: and pawned it. Oh, there's one more thing that this 447 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: story fails to point out, and that is that in 448 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, when Santos began dating Velarva, record show Santos 449 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: was still married to a woman at the time. Oops Yeah, 450 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: that's a bit of a booker, isn't it. It really 451 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: gets in the way of a relationship. Yeah, you're dating, 452 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: everything's going fine, and honey in there's something I have 453 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: to tell you. My wife is coming over to pick 454 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: up some things. Yeah, gay straight whatever. If somebody drops 455 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: the bombshell of oh, my wife is on her way, 456 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: becomes a bit of a bit of a hang up. 457 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: So Santos, according to The Daily Beast, which pretty left 458 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: this publication so take it or leave it. Daily Bee 459 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: says they can't find any report of his current marriage, 460 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: but they did find a record showing that Santos was 461 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: married to a woman named Wuadla Vieira, a native of 462 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: Zill until twenty nineteen. The couple was married in twenty twelve. 463 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: So if he was married in twenty twelve and was 464 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: with this woman until twenty nineteen, then the relationship that 465 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: he was having with this other dude was extramarital, which 466 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: legal well, depending on the state you're in, but I 467 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: think in New York legal not exactly upstanding. However, not 468 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: something we think of as being, you know, somebody who 469 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: cares about truth justice in the American way, Typically in 470 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: most relationships frowned upon, and now there are calls saying 471 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: maybe he should step down. Kevin Brady is a Republican 472 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: from Texas. He said yesterday that Santos should consider resigning 473 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: after he admitted that he fabricated and embellished several claims 474 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: about his background involving his education of Wark history and 475 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: his jewish Ness. During an interview on Fox New Sunday, Brady, 476 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: who's retiring from Congress, said that Santos would need to 477 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: quote take some huge steps quote to regain public trust, 478 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: saying this is troubling in so many ways. Certainly he's 479 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: lied repeatedly. He certainly is going to have to consider resigning. 480 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: But do people care? I mean, do they care? He 481 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: says he's sticking around, He's not going anywhere. He's gonna 482 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: be a very effective leader. But as it stands right now, 483 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: we don't even have a speaker the House ahead of us, 484 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: so Santos may not even have anybody to resign too. 485 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: And do people we love the gossip. Washington's become a 486 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: reality show more than ever has before. So maybe having 487 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: this villain in Washington is just another character on our 488 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: reality TV show that we call America. That's the cynic 489 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: in me and then the other part of me is 490 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: just again grabbing the popcorn to watch all this unfold. 491 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: Chris Merrill in for John and kenk I am six forty. 492 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app talk a little 493 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: bit more about Jeremy Renner in this accident that he 494 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: that he got plowing snow. That is next disappointed, saddened, shocked, 495 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: I suppose when I saw that Jeremy Renner had been injured, 496 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: not just injured, but in critical condition after critical but 497 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: stable condition, they say, with injury suffered after experiencing a 498 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: weather related accident while plowing snow. Earlier today, The Today 499 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: Show had this brief kind of primer on what happened. 500 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: Avengers star Jeremy Renner often seen on his Instagram enjoying 501 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 5: winter weather at what he called his happy place like Tahoe, Nevada. 502 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 5: But today the two time Oscar nominees love of the 503 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 5: outdoors may have landed him in the hospital. Washoe County, Nevada, 504 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 5: Renner's home for the past seven years, was hit with 505 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 5: heavy snowfall in a New Year's Eve storm. In a statement, 506 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 5: Renner's rap confirming to NBC News overnight that Jeremy is 507 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 5: in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing 508 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 5: a weather related accident while plowing snow. While it's not 509 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 5: clear exactly what happened or what type of injuries he sustained, 510 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 5: the incident was serious enough that authorities say a rescue 511 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 5: flight was needed to get him to the hospital. 512 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 4: Starfighters in realp. 513 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: And unknown if they can land in speaks of snow. 514 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 5: Although Renner shot to Hollywood stardom after The Utlogger in 515 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 5: two thousand and eight and later as superhero Hawkeye in 516 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 5: the wildly popular and successful Marvel Movie franchise, he still 517 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 5: liked getting his hands dirty with construction and renovation projects, 518 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 5: often seen on social media, operating heavy machinery like this 519 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 5: massive snowplow, and driving his jeep doing doughnuts in the snow. 520 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 5: He was even set to star in a new unscripted 521 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 5: series for Disney Plus this year called Renovations, where he 522 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 5: would help communities around the world using his handyman skills 523 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 5: and love for renovation. It's unclear now if this accident 524 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 5: we'll put those plans on hold. Now, we do know 525 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 5: that Renner was the only one involved in the accident, 526 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 5: and guys, we are told his family is at his 527 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 5: side as he's recovering. 528 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: Back to you, so you heard at the very end 529 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: they say that he was the only one involved in 530 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: the accident. All right. I don't know if that means 531 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: that he's the only one injured, but they say he's 532 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: the only one involved. A couple of things about this. 533 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: As somebody that grew up in a pretty snowy area 534 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: in northern Michigan, I've had the opportunity to operate various 535 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,719 Speaker 1: pieces of snow removal equipment, and many of them can 536 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: be pretty dangerous. The SnowCat, which, by the way, everyone 537 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: is spelling it wrong when they report on this. I've 538 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: seen it spelled. It's not spelled with a W. Everybody 539 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: keeps spelling it SnowCat, SnowCat. It's actually SnO dash caat. 540 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: Anybody that does crossword puzzles knows that SnowCat is the 541 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: brand name. This is a machine that has built speci 542 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: sifically for pushing snow. It's got heavy tracks on it. 543 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: It looks like it's got an old fashioned mac truck cab, 544 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: and then it's got a big plow that pushes things around. 545 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: It's not big like a semi it's more like one 546 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: of those. It's like a really big four runner that 547 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: pushes snow around. For those of you that know what 548 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: it is, you're probably angry with me. I'm probably not 549 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: describing it well enough. For those of you that don't 550 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: know what it is, hopefully I've given it well enough 551 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: that you have an idea. So the SnowCat is just 552 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: this piece of machinery built for moving snow, and they 553 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: use this in those areas in the mountains, Vale, Aspen, Tahoe, 554 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: any of the mountain areas, Big Bear, They've probably got 555 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: a few up there. They're very effective. Renner has one. 556 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: Renner has a lot of heavy equipment, and he does 557 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: an awful lot with his heavy equipment for the community. 558 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: To his credit, he actually has a whole bunch of 559 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: fire trucks there and he's installed a hydrant so that 560 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: he can help fill fire trucks and get fire trucks 561 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: out if there's wildfires threatening the Tahoe region, right, which 562 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: is pretty great. I mean, guy could spend his own 563 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: money just going somewhere else, but he's not. He's spending 564 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: his money at home making the community better. I saw 565 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: Jeremy Renner and hurt Locker thought he was amazing, kind 566 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: of followed his career since then the town he was incredible. 567 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: He's a musician. You see him pop up and play shows. 568 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: I've seen him do some late night shows and things 569 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: like that. You heard the report working on a thing 570 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: called Renovations, which is kind of a flipping show where 571 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: he goes and helps people by doing some construction work. 572 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: So he's injured, and what we're hearing is that the 573 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: injury seems to be a significant injury to his leg. 574 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: According to a neighbor, this from TMZ, the plowing machine 575 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: called a SnowCat again TMZ spells it wrong, accidentally ran 576 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: over one of Jeremy's legs and he was losing a 577 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: lot of blood from the injury. We're told another neighbor 578 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: who's a doctor, was able to put a tourniquet on 579 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: his leg until paramedics arrived, and then of course he 580 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: was airlifted out of there. If in fact, the reports 581 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: are accurate, then that would explain the critical but stable 582 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: condition that he's in. We don't know anything beyond that. 583 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: We don't know if he's going to lose a leg. 584 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: We don't know if he's going to make full recovery. 585 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: We don't have any idea. They also say that there 586 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: are other injuries besides his leg. His injuries are extensive. 587 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: Along with his leg, other parts of his body have 588 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: been injured. That again from TMZ, a source close to 589 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: Jeremy telling them that how accurate is it? It's TMZ. 590 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're spot on. Sometimes it's monarchy. So we don't 591 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: know officially what those injuries are. As somebody that has 592 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: used some different snow removal equipment, I've never used a 593 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: SnowCat to be to be clear, but there are a 594 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: number of different safety options on these not even options, 595 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: safety mechanisms in place on different heavy equipment. The most 596 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: obvious one is and I don't know again the SnowCat, 597 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: the tractors I've used in moving snow, and also tractors 598 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: for you know, summertime activities, is that there's a kill 599 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: switch on the seat, just like you would have in 600 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: a riding lawn war so that if you're not on 601 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: the seat, if there's no weight on the seat, if 602 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: there's not pressure on the seat, the seat, the seat 603 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: lifts and it disconnects right so the circuit has broken. 604 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: The engine shuts off. I can also tell you, having 605 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: operated a number of these different pieces of equipment, that 606 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: many people will bypass that safety feature. It's not real safe, 607 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: but they do it because you're hopping in and out 608 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: of the cab. Maybe you have to go remove a 609 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: piece of debris, and so you put everything in neutral, 610 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: or you put everything in park, whatever, however your system works, 611 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: and then you jump off the seat. You jump out, 612 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: and you know, in the case of the tractor that 613 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: I use most recently, my folks have one. So when 614 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: i'm when i'm back there with them, jump off, and 615 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a maybe there's a stick that 616 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: got hung up on one of the rakes, something of 617 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: that sort, so you jump off. Not telling you it's 618 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: the right idea, I'm just telling you that's one thing 619 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: that can happen as some of these different safety features 620 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: may be disengaged for convenience sake. The idea that the 621 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: SnowCat ran over his leg led me to wonder if 622 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: maybe there was someone else involved, maybe somebody else was there. 623 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: The reports are no one else was involved in the incident. 624 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: The other easy thing would be an accident where there's 625 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: someone else in the cab that accidentally engages the machine, 626 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: which would then you know, run him over to do 627 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: damage on his leg. Like that makes me think he 628 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: wasn't hit by the plow itself, but was actually hit 629 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: by one of the tracks, which is like you see 630 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: on a tank. In replace of replacement of the of 631 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: having tires, you'd have tracks like they have on a tank. 632 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: And if that were to run over is like it 633 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: would do significant damage. We don't know what kind of 634 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: terrain he was on. If it's soft snow, maybe it 635 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: doesn't do as much damage as it would if it 636 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: were on hard a hard packed snow, because there would 637 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: be a little bit of give and the snow underneath 638 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: his Like, we don't know whatever it is. When I 639 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: heard that he got hit by a SnowCat, I went, oh, 640 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: that's very bad. It's very bad. When they say that 641 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: there's damage to other parts of his body, extensive damage, 642 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: it makes it sound to me like it wasn't just 643 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: his leg that got run over. The other thing is 644 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: extracting somebody from that situation can be very difficult. When 645 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: emergency crews show up, they have to determine what the 646 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: best way is to extract somebody from a situation. If 647 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: the SnowCat had run over his leg but had come 648 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 1: to a stop on top of it, that's a real challenge, 649 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 1: real challenge. Do you back it up? Do you push 650 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: it forward? Do you try to lift it off? If 651 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: you can't get a crane in there, can you lift 652 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: it off? Can you jack the thing up in order 653 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: to pull the patient out from underneath? It becomes a 654 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: logistical nightmare. So, just based on my experience, I tend 655 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: to believe that maybe there was a safety switch that 656 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: had become disengaged. Maybe the track was rolling forward as 657 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: he was jumping out of the cab, perhaps for one 658 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: reason or another. Don't know why he exited the cab. 659 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: We just don't know, but we're gonna get that information. 660 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to give you a little bit of a 661 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: heads up on what it's like to run the piece 662 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: of heavy machinery from the driver's perspective. And we don't 663 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 1: know how this happened, but I think there's gonna be 664 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of explaining to do and 665 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: a lot of informations gonna come out in the next 666 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: couple of days. I'm very curious as to what that's 667 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna show speaking of tragedies, we have been following the 668 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 1: tragedy there in Idaho, the college students that were murdered 669 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: back in November. The suspect in custody. We'll get an 670 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: update on whether or not he's going back to Idaho 671 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: or if he's going to fight extradition. Big questions about that, 672 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: and he's still maintaining innocence. We'll talk about it here. 673 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 1: Just to set Chris Merrill in for John and kenk 674 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: I AM six forty live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app
