Speaker 1: the fireworks. Not bragging, just slightly bragging, have a great

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: panoramic view of the fireworks and want to share that

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: with you. As we also broadcast on America's Birthday, and

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: during the break, Deborah Mark couldn't see me, but I

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: was listening to her newscast because we were going to

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: start talking about the COVID numbers here in Los Angeles,

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: and you beat us to it, Deborah Mark, and I

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: was talking with Twallas, like it seems like we haven't

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: learned our lesson. It seems like it. And I don't

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: say this to scarity one. I always say, I don't

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: pay attention to the COVID numbers as far as infections.

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: I always look at the lagging indicators of people who

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: have been hospitalized, people who unfortunately pass away, and I

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: think about the burden on our healthcare system and if

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: it gets to be too massive, then I'm concerned. But

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: listening to Debora Mark talk about the rise and hospitalizations,

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: it seems like we're on the precipice of going back

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: to where we were, Like we haven't learned our lesson.

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Not that the vaccines we're supposed to take care of everything,

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: but we still have a responsibility in this because a

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: lot of us out there are not vaccinated. A lot

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: of us don't believe in either COVID or the vaccinations,

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: but the COVID believes in us. Clearly it believes in us,

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: and we're on the precipice of another masked mandate now,

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: regardless of whether that mass mandate comes back. I know,

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: in our collective arrogance, we when I say we Californians

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Americans will probably never go for it. When I say

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: we will never go for it, I believe we individually,

48
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: we businesses. We already know that the LA County Sheriff

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is not going to enforce anything regarding that. So it

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: seems like we're going to earn whatever bad happens out

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: of this next wave of COVID, whether we want to

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: accept responsibility if whether we want to actually believe that

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: COVID is real and people are dying or not, We're

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: going to earn this in our arrogance. It's beyond belief

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: in it. It's more people don't care. The numbers right

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: now are reflective of a population in Los Angeles, Los

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Angeles County, people who just said, you know, I don't care.

58
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: The hospitalizations war at the time, maybe two three weeks

59
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: ago or down so low versus the numbers of people

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: within new infections and those numbers going up. Everyone's like, look,

61
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: no one is dying from this anymore. Hospitalizations are down.

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: If you get it, it's like the flu, it's like

63
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: the cold. I'll be right. I know several people who

64
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: got recently and they're fine. They got it. They're I

65
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: was sick, I felt like I had the flu. They're back,

66
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: They're going to a party tomorrow. Yeah, let's just where

67
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: we're at. Look, I'm quadruple vaccinated. But also your person

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: who's had a number of organ transplants, Yes, and so

69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: you have to take immunosuppressant medicine on a daily basis.

70
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: And also COVID has different implications for you than most

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: other people. And I protect myself as I should, but

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: I also know, you know what, it's me against the world,

73
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: and right now the world is winning. COVID is winning.

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: COVID is winning in LA. It's back mass made. You

75
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: could put a mask made, that mandate out there if

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: you want to, I could luck enforce h What does

77
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: that say though about us? And I think that there

78
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: is a statement we talk about patriotism. Ye, loving America,

79
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: and I think part of loving America is also a

80
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: level of concern, respect and care for our fellow Americans.

81
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe in loving this country in the abstract.

82
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I believe that America is the sum total of its Americans.

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: And if I love America, then I have to have

84
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: the same level of affinity for the people who make

85
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: up the country. Boggles my mind when people talk about

86
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I love America, but it seems like you hate everybody

87
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah. Yeah, you love America, but there are

88
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: four or five different ethnic groups that you hate within it.

89
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: You love America, but you hate the people who vote

90
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: a certain way. You love America, but you hate people

91
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: who believe a certain way, who think differently than you,

92
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: who see America differently than you. Part of loving America

93
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: and what America is is the fullness and the diversity

94
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of thought, the diversity of people, diversity of experiences. And

95
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: we talk about the greatest nations on the face of

96
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: the earth and the great melting pot, and how Americans

97
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: we are not the same fun to mentally, and that's

98
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: what makes America great. How is it you love America

99
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: but you don't have that same level of care and

100
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: affection for Americans. I'll never understand it because ideas are

101
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: different than reality. Oh oh oh okay, so they like

102
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: the marketing brochure. Yeah, yeah, they like the brochhore of

103
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: the retirement community. And how I was like, oh man, mom,

104
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: I think you're really gonna like it there. And when

105
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: you get there, there are flies buzzing around our elderly

106
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: and wheelchairs being you know, willed into the sun and

107
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: left there by some aids who are going and smoking

108
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: off in the corner. And that's just what the retirement

109
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: home looks like. But you like the brochure. You like

110
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: the brochure that says come to Hollywood. But then when

111
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: you get there, you want to drive Aroundwood. Yeah, the

112
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: idea of Hollywood and movies and also performances and actors

113
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: and all the glitz and glamour. That's very different from Hollywood.

114
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: As in Hollywood Boulevard, very different sunset, any street. You

115
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: just go, oh, is that actual human excrement on the sidewalk? Yes,

116
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: it is, it is, and there's a person right next

117
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: to it. It is. It is. Yeah. So again, yeah,

118
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: you can say I love America, hell I love Angelino's.

119
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: But if you say wear a mask to help protect

120
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: your fellow Angelino. Hell, that's on them that don't gotta

121
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: go out. They can stay inside if they want to,

122
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: which actually is true. That is true. So I don't know,

123
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: but but it's a it's a mentality. It's a mentality.

124
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: If we talk about patriotism, that's the first thing that

125
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: I talked about today. If we talk about patriotism and

126
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: loving the country of America, knowing its history, knowing from

127
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: whence we came, knowing what we had fought for to

128
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: get this level of freedom right here, right now. And

129
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: sometimes people mistakenly confuse freedom with not being inconvenienced. Oh,

130
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: they're not the same. There are a lot of folks

131
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: to say freedom, I don't have to wear a mask. Well,

132
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: freedom as in like you don't have to wear a

133
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: shirt and shoes when you walk into a business. No.

134
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean there are certain societal responsibilities we have to

135
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: coexist with one another. I mean like speed laws. Well,

136
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: that's that's a safety thing, and you can look at

137
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: it that way. And I think there's a common courtesy thing.

138
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of things that I do because

139
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about someone else's well being. That's what that's

140
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: what I think. Common courtesy is where I think about

141
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: someone else before or in addition to just myself. There

142
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: are certain things like, look, I don't have to cover

143
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: my mouth when I sneeze or cough. There's no ordinance

144
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: saying I have to. But common courtesy and decency, going

145
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: back to dignity, decency and decorum decency, demand that I

146
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: be mindful of. Look, if I sneeze, and this has

147
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: nothing to do with COVID, if I should just sneeze

148
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: in particulate to going out there and gonna might possibly

149
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: hit someone else or land on the desk or what

150
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: have you, and these shared workspaces then impact someone else.

151
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: I should be mindful that my behavior, even unintentionally, may

152
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: adversely impact someone else. But I think that's because you,

153
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: like me, grew up in an error where your neighbor

154
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: could look out for you, discipline you correct your behavior

155
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: if your parent was not around, versus nowadays, where that

156
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: can get you in a fight with your fellow neighbor.

157
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Or you have kids who are super crazy, disrespectful, or

158
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: any number of different changes societily that no longer exists

159
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: for when you and I grew up, and I don't

160
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: know if we can get back to that, we talked

161
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: about nostalgia. I think that is a bygone era. It's

162
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: not coming back. But I think there are lessons we

163
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: can take from that era and they can apply to

164
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: things just like today when we talk about mass mandates.

165
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: It was a horrible time for any number of reasons.

166
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: And I have to remind folks, it's not like I'm

167
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: some you know, COVID superhero trying to fight against it.

168
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: There are ten people that I can count that I

169
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: know of, because I'm quite sure that people who passed

170
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: away that they did not know of who passed away

171
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: from COVID. Ten people that I know that can say

172
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: specifically died because of COVID. I take it very seriously.

173
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: I know the sacrifices that we made as a community

174
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: in society I take very seriously, and I don't ever

175
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: want to go back to that. And I don't want

176
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: to necessarily anyone to do to suffer because that. I

177
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to at home schooling, you know,

178
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: virtual schooling. I don't want to go back to any

179
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: of that. And having the mask mandate out on our

180
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: doorstep once again is reminiscent of a degree of carelessness

181
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: and indifference, which really bothers me. Yeah, you don't want

182
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: you don't want to get the vaccine, you don't want

183
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: to wear the mask, you don't want mask mandates. But

184
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: you're also going to deny that people are dying in

185
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: a hospital right now, right now, because you know freedom.

186
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: This is the John and Ken Show, mow Kelly and

187
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: for John and k K I am six forty. We're

188
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna talk monkey

189
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Pops when we come back, because there's a correlation there.

190
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: When COVID first came on the scene, we talked about

191
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: it on the mow Kelly Show obviously back in twenty nineteen,

192
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: and we didn't initially take it seriously because COVID came

193
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: behind Ebola. Ebola had come to the United States, and

194
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: it was something that we didn't take seriously because we

195
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: didn't take Ebola seriously, and so we lost sight of

196
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: what could happen. I'm gonna put a pit in that

197
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: right there. We're going to come back to that in

198
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,599

00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. And let me get back to what I

214
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: was saying. When COVID first came on the scene, I

215
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: didn't take it seriously. I you know, I admit that

216
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: take full responsebility for that. I don't think anyone took

217
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: it seriously as lay people, because we had no reason

218
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: to take it seriously. We had heard about avian flu,

219
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: we had heared about heard about Zeka. We had heard

220
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: about obviously ebola and how they're supposed to just run

221
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: rough shot over America, and none of them did h

222
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: one in one, for example, and so you have a

223
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: false sense of security as far as whatever the newest

224
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: and latest is. Then COVID came on. We didn't take

225
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: it seriously collectively, and then it turned into what we

226
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: all saw. But out of that I would have hoped

227
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: that we would have learned some lessons, in other words,

228
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: recognize certain progressions along the way. Whereas monkey pox is

229
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: not as virulent and deadly as anything else that we've discussed,

230
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: it is still possibly a major issue. It's still highly communicable,

231
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's still being underappreciated and dismissed in

232
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: a way which I think is dangerous. Dangerous in the

233
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: sense of how could it could disrupt our daily lives.

234
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, I was filling in. I can't

235
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: remember for whom because I always keep bouncing me around,

236
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: but I was filling in for someone. I was talking

237
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: about how monkeypox was on the scene. It's like maybe

238
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: one case of monkeypox in the United States, and I said,

239
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: see watch this. Then it turned into two, then four,

240
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: then eight, and then it first started on the other

241
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: side of the world, and then it was on the

242
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: other side of the country, and then it was on

243
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: the other side of the state. And now it's on

244
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: the other side of the city. Now it's in Orange County.

245
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Now it's in Los Angeles County. Was two, then four,

246
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: then eight, and now it's some maybe two hundred cases

247
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: or something like that of monkeypox. Excuse me, three hundred

248
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: and six cases in the United States of monkeypox across

249
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight different states, and it's been confirmed in both

250
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: and Orange County. And if we should have learned anything

251
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: from COVID is to get out in front of it

252
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: and to take it seriously so it doesn't turn into

253
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: something which we can't control. And then we have to

254
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: have i'll say government intervention, and we have to do

255
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: other mitigation measures that we know none of us want

256
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: to do. And here's the thing about COVID, because we

257
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: spent two years dealing with COVID, it's almost like there's

258
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: a level of fatigue which makes us more in danger

259
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: of letting something else get through because we're not going

260
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: to go back to what we did. We were talking

261
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: about COVID. We're not going to go to the mitigation

262
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: measures of COVID. We're not going to wear a mask.

263
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: We're just not We're not going to stay home. We're

264
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: not going to have our kids virtual schools. We're not

265
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: going to do any of that. Unless people start just

266
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: dropping dead in the middle of the street, like some

267
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: zombie virus and nation or something or World War Z,

268
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: We're not going to go back to those mitigation members.

269
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: We're measures. We are hard headed, and we're obstinate as Americans,

270
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: let's be honest. So with monkeypox, if it should get

271
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: out of hand, there is not an appetite or a

272
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: desire to do anything more than doing nothing. It's mainly

273
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: because of the way that they're positioning it and rolling

274
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: it out with the same lack of seriousness that COVID

275
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: was given in the beginning. It start off, that's across

276
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: the country that it may be come into the States. Oh,

277
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: it's in La there's you know, there's a potentiality for it.

278
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Oh we got two cases. Now two weeks after we

279
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: first talked about it on the mo Kelly Show, we're

280
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: up to over twenty something cases. And now they're saying,

281
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: maybe we should take this a little bit more serious.

282
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: How about you roll it out all the ones. Let

283
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: us know the severity. What can happen? Is it deadly? Know?

284
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Is it something you can catch and it can keep

285
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: coming back like herpes? What are we dealing with? It's

286
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: interesting you say that. In Orange County they just announced

287
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: their first presumptive monkeypox case. The person who was infected

288
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: to your point, Tualla was put in isolation and the

289
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: agency was contacting anyone in contact with the person so

290
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: they could receive a post exposure prophylaxis vaccination. From what

291
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: I understand, the affection spreads through contact with bodily fluids,

292
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: monkeypox sores, or shared items such as betting or clothing

293
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: that were contaminated with fluids. It can also be transmitted

294
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: through saliva and sexual contact. I'm not a doctor, but

295
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: that kind of reads like how chicken pox is spread

296
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: in similar fashion. Yeah, you know, so most people who

297
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: develop monkeypox have only mild illness that goes away within

298
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: two to four weeks without treatment. Sounds a lot like

299
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: chicken pox, But at the same time, chicken pox can

300
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: can kill you and can be a danger to large populations.

301
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: The scarring alan from that. In monkeypox, there's a story

302
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: that you had shown me about a kid or some

303
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: guy who had it. And he's saying, you don't want this.

304
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: This is absolutely positively not something that you want, not

305
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: in the least. Well, anything with pox on the end,

306
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I would rather avoid, like for example, smallpox, don't want it,

307
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: chicken pox don't want it. So with that in mind,

308
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: monkeypox don't want it. Now, this is a guy who

309
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: is one of La County's monkey pox patients, Matt Ford.

310
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old, and he went public telling his

311
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: story in BuzzFeed this week, said I have monkeypox. Here's

312
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: what it's like and what you should know. And he

313
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: was like shortened to the point he said, it sucks

314
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: and you don't want it. Yeah, that's why they call

315
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: it monkeypox. Not trying to be funny, but yeah, this

316
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: is something we should take seriously from the jump. Matt

317
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: Ford found out on June seventeenth he was exposed to

318
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: monkey pox. He went to the doctor on June twentieth

319
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: to be tested. Three days later, positive test it was

320
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: confirmed by the La County Department of Public Health. He

321
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: said his symptoms intensified over that time. Quote, his lesions

322
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: grew in number and intensity. We've seen the photos at

323
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: this point, so much so he couldn't sleep some nights.

324
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: I had chicken pox as a seventeen year old. It

325
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: was horrible. So if monkey pox is anything like that

326
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: or worse, can I understand intellectually what that means, what

327
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: that feels like? He said. He also experienced intense flu

328
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: like symptoms, a fever, full body chills, night sweats, a cough,

329
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes for about a week.

330
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: The pain was a dull, sore, constant with fun little

331
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: spikes of sharp pain if I moved the wrong way.

332
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: All that seemed to help were frequent back and ointments

333
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: until I went back to the doctor and was prescribed

334
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: narcotic pain killers. Even those were only so so at

335
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: managing the pain. Close quote. Yeah, when I got chicken

336
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: pox when I was seventeen, I had to sleep with

337
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: mittens on my hands so I wouldn't scratch. But the

338
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: pain from the blisters and the pustules were just was excruciating.

339
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: If I wasn't itching, I was in great pain. Yeah,

340
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: because when you get chicken pox as an adult that

341
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: I was basically adult as seventeen. Oh, it was, it was,

342
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: It was bad. It was really bad, and I had

343
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: to go to the hospital. It was yes, so and

344
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: I know chicken pox is not monkey pox. But all

345
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying is if I could have done without it,

346
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I would have done without it. And I remember the

347
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: kid I was actually in martial arts class, and this kid,

348
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: who obviously had just had the chicken pox, thought it

349
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: would be funny to go to hot keto class and

350
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 1: start touching folks like, oh, I have chicken pox, now

351
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: you do too. And I got it like four days later.

352
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: So you weren't vaccinated against the chicken box. It had

353
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: not been created yet. Oh okay, they did not have

354
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: a chicken pox vaccine at the time. So this was

355
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: obviously nineteen eighty six, eighty five or eighty six, something

356
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: like that. Eighty six. Wow, wait a minute, I may

357
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: not have to look it up. But they did not

358
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: create it. They was not created. Eric probably got the

359
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: chicken pox vaccine, did you get? Yes? I did, Yeah,

360
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: Debra Mark, probably not. I'm immune to chicken box, believe

361
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: it or not. Lucky you, lucky you. Hopefully you don't

362
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: come down with it later on in life. I'm hoping. Yeah.

363
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: And there and there are people who are immune to

364
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: chicken pox. They've been exposed. Especially if you have kids,

365
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: you will know real quick. They'll get it. You won't.

366
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: But me, I was not so lucky. Yeah, you better

367
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: check to wallet just to be sure. No, no, if

368
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: you're saying that you did not in eighty six, then

369
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's the way after I've gotten all

370
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: my stuff. Yeah, we have to look it up and

371
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: see what year the chickenpox vaccine was in full circulation.

372
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: But I know what. I'm trying to look it up

373
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: right now. Oh, we'll look it up during the break

374
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: and find out. This is the Johnny kinshow Kelly and

375
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: for Johnny kink If. I am six forty live everywhere

376
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. We're talking about vaccines. I have

377
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: to go to the doctor next month for my physical

378
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: and I'm a firm proponent of men, especially go to

379
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: the doctor. Sometimes we get so caught up in being macho.

380
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I feel fine, and you don't want

381
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: to go to the doctor until something's wrong, and then

382
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: it could be something major and it's too late. Go

383
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: to doctor, get your prostate checked. They don't have to

384
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: do a digital exam anymore. And what I mean by

385
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: digital they don't have to use doctor jellyfinger. They don't

386
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: have to do that anymore. It's not funny. It's not funny.

387
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: It's just there's truly nothing funny about that, though. Was

388
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: that Eric snickering? Absolutely not, because your time is coming tipe. Nope, Nope,

389
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Yes it is. I know it is, but there's nothing

390
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: funny about that anyhow. I'm saying they don't have to

391
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: do it at that time that way anymore. You can

392
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: do it by blood test, a PSA test, and also

393
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: when I'm going in they'll do that obviously, check the

394
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: blood pressure, check my blood sugar, kidney function PSA. But

395
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: I also have to do the TDAPP the tetanus diph

396
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: theory of protested shot supposed to do it every ten

397
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: years or so. I say that to say that, to

398
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: say it because we were talking about the vaccines and

399
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: chicken pox vaccine which Eric had looked up and was

400
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: made available in the United States I think nineteen ninety five,

401
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: so I had missed it by a lot. I did

402
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: get chicken pox, so I would be susceptible to shingles,

403
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: and I know they have the shingdricks vaccine. I don't

404
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: know if anyone who's gotten it unless you were one

405
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: who's gotten it. The vaccine, yes, yes, and shingles. What

406
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: am I missing or what am I hoping to miss?

407
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: You don't want shingles? Well, of course I don't want singles. No, no, no,

408
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: no, no no no. I'm telling you you don't want it.

409
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: And that's how badly you want this vaccine. You don't

410
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: want that isolation wing that you're placed it in the

411
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: hospital with the guy to come in with full on

412
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: back to the future, top to bottom gloves, with the

413
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: little breathers in the front looking at you, mister sharp.

414
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: They pass at you. Yes, you are in that wing

415
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: where they are touching with gloves and you are in

416
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: non stop pain. It is a burning, scratching sensation that

417
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: you It doesn't matter how much you rub it, how

418
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: much you dig at it, because your skin is on fire. Man.

419
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: You don't want this, okay, the Shingrooks vaccine if I'm

420
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: not mistaken as two doses, correct, Yes, okay? And how

421
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: far apart? Like six months apart apart or something? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

422
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: because I got it when I was in the hospital

423
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: and then had to follow up enough. Yeah, I gotta

424
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: say this to Walla sharp. I learn a lot from

425
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: you about healthcare side of things in life, because unfortunately

426
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: you've been through a lot. But I do take a

427
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: lot of your wisdom with me when I go in

428
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: for checkups or when my father was in failing health,

429
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: I often called you to say, Hey, what do you

430
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: think about this? What do you recommend? And so forth,

431
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: And it gave me a better understanding of how our

432
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: healthcare system works in terms of you need to be

433
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: an advocate. You can't wait until something goes wrong. You

434
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: have to be informed so you know which questions to

435
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: ask on behalf of yourself or someone else. And then

436
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: there's dealing with insurance something altogether different. But we were

437
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: talking about this in relation to monkeypox specifically, and how

438
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: you gotta sometimes take care of business before it gets

439
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: out of hand. Yeah, we gotta take monkeypox seriously in

440
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: the way that we did not take COVID seriously originally,

441
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can avoid some of these issues. Granted,

442
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: monkey pox is not as deadly from what we can

443
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: see or what we know as COVID or any of

444
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: these other major diseases, but it's something which can really

445
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: disrupt society, well, disrupt society and also can lead to

446
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: you having on the surface just other issues if we

447
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: don't know the full breadth of what happens to you internally,

448
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: like we still don't know the true long term effects

449
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: of COVID. You know people who still to this day

450
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: who had you know, a year ago and when the

451
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: COVID prime, when the first hit, and their minds are

452
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: all just a jumbled can't remember anything, mess right, Why

453
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: would you then want to mess around with something called monkeypox?

454
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: The way this stuff looks on your skin, How this

455
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: can potentially affect other family members, Maybe it can take

456
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: out your elderly relatives, maybe can have really a verse

457
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: effects on your children. Well, people die from chicken pox

458
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: every year. It's not publicized, but people do die from

459
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: chicken pox. I just use that as an analog things

460
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: that we think, not only do we have a vaccine

461
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: for that are relatively innocuous and kids don't necessarily die

462
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: from that. It's no big deal And that couldn't be

463
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: further from the truth. To answer your question, though, Twill,

464
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: I think that we are unfortunately at a point in America,

465
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: and this goes back to a lot of other different discussions.

466
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: We are so conspiratorially focused we almost reject any sound

467
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: advice from any recognized authority, be it the CDC, be

468
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: it the California Department of Public Health, be it a

469
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: local politician. It seems like, well, if it comes from them,

470
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: it must be somehow politically tainted, there must be some

471
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: agenda attached. And therefore we categorically and out of hand

472
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: dismissed and reject a lot of advice which more times

473
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: than not it is for our good and for our

474
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: betterment and for our protection, not for some sort of

475
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: political end. On that same conspiratorial thread, Oh what did

476
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I do? I'm just saying, if the zombipoc oh hell

477
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: was to be unleashed within I'm gonna say hours now,

478
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: Southern California would be zombie city. Oh if only because

479
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: we are unwilling to actually protect ourselves. Yes, yeah, we

480
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: would be more susceptible. And yeah, if you ever listened

481
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: to the mo Kelly Show, we always talk about the

482
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: zombie apocalypse, this idea of a pathogen spreading throughout America

483
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: or the world, and it doesn't necessarily have to be

484
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: something that turns us into wandering, mindless zombies. It could

485
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: be any airborne pathogen which is easily transmissible from person

486
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: to person, and then you just have a collapse of society.

487
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: We are unable to deal with it in a short

488
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: amount of time. World War Z could be just reality.

489
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: Doctor Neil deGrasse Tyson has confirmed as much. No, but

490
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: there's a there's a serious point there. You're saying, because

491
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: of our conspiratorial nature, we would be actually hastening, Yes,

492
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: the spread of a real pathogen. Look how fast we

493
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: have moved from the different various viruses that you have. First,

494
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: I remember we were laughing a few years ago. We

495
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: even had the ebola alarm, you know that, we had

496
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: the zeke and and then but when so by yes,

497
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: by the time COVID gets here, and now there's even

498
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: a new one. There's what COVID five or whatever, that's

499
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be the new far deadlier. It's back batting

500
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: down the hatches, COVID that's now spreading across the country.

501
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: But no one cares. So if people start dying again

502
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: from that, oh well we don't care about that. We

503
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: don't care about monkey pox. So when you say something like, hey,

504
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: there is a new vaccine or a new virus that's

505
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: potentially causing a meltdown of cognitive function. It's causing people

506
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: to just go insane, crazy, violent attack each other. Next

507
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're killing each other in the street because

508
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: it's this new zombie virus. Or it could just be

509
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: a typical day in America given the rising crime rates.

510
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: One or the other. One at the end, Okay, because

511
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: Fox News is on. Yes, this is the China kitchup. O'Kelly,

512
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: if a China kN k if I am six forty,

513
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Remember what I

514
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: was saying previously yesterday talking about the minimum wage and

515
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: trying to tie it to inflation. Otherwise you will be

516
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: forever on that hamster treadmill where you may get to

517
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: one plateau for a minimum wage, be it ten dollars

518
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: or twelve or fifteen dollars at an hour or eighteen,

519
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: and you'll never get off of it. You'll forever be

520
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: fighting for an increase in a minimum wage, and you'll

521
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: waste years try to get it increased, and by the

522
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: time you do get it increased, it won't be enough

523
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: and you'll have to fight for another increase. Well, we

524
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: talked about the fight to put eighteen dollars an hour

525
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: on the ballot, and everything I said yesterday, I guess

526
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: it goes out the window because eighteen dollars an hour

527
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: won't be on the ballot. Had the California Living Wage

528
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Act proposal succeeded, it would have increased base wages to

529
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: sixteen dollars an hour next January and eighteen dollars an

530
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: hour by twenty twenty five, three years from now. It

531
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: probably would not have been enough, but Californians won't even

532
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: vote this fall on whether that minimum wage should rise again,

533
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: as inflation is impacting all of us. It it failed

534
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: that the initiative to bump a minimum waste to eighteen

535
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: dollars over the next three years, even though there was

536
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money behind it. You may remember there

537
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: was a lot of money trying to push this and

538
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: it was backed by a bunch of labor organizations. It

539
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: just did not get enough signatures to qualify for the

540
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: November ballot. And that's I see that as a lack

541
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: of planning. If you're going to put so much money

542
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: into these initiatives, there has to be a better rollout.

543
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: There has to be a messaging component there has to

544
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: be a media component where when I say messaging, it

545
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: has to be presented in the right way. There has

546
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: to be a media component where you are presenting it

547
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: the right way, the over media, in a correct and

548
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: effective way. It's one thing to have a message, but

549
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure that people are seeing it

550
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: on TV, that they're hearing out on the radio, that

551
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: they're reading it on social media. And when all those

552
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: things were together, and we see it more effectively done

553
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: with recall efforts. Unusually and unfortunately, you get these measures

554
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: put on a ballot and this failed, and I guess

555
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: they're basically back to the starting point. You got fifteen

556
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: dollars an hour. You've been fighting for that for I

557
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: don't know, three or four years or so. You got it,

558
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: and now that it's here, you realize, damn, it's not enough.

559
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: It's not even going to really make an impact for

560
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: those people who are most affected by this inflation. I

561
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: could argue that with the fifteen dollars an hour, now

562
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: you're actually further behind. Without doing all the math, you're

563
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: further behind then where you were three years ago, without

564
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: the inflation and without the increase in the minimum ways

565
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: you're actually there's a wider gap. That is because when

566
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: they asked for this eighteen dollars right on top of today,

567
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: what is it the sixteen dollars that goes into effect

568
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: because they did not have an actual reason as to why.

569
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: That was clear to anyone. Almost if you go to

570
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: your parents and say, hey, mom, can I have fifteen

571
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: dollars to go to the movies? As you get and

572
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: you come back and say, oh, could I have another

573
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: fifteen and you know, automatical like no, why oh? Because

574
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: and then you get into a whole bunch of reading

575
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: and you apparents to shut you down. They may want

576
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: to take the fifteen dollars that gave you back. I

577
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe that's just me. But the plan that

578
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: you laid out yesterday or the reasoning why, would have

579
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: been an extremely succinct and rational reason, and then you

580
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: don't have to keep trying to update it every three

581
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: or four years. And here's something else we didn't touch

582
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: upon which needs to be discussed in the constant evolution

583
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: of our society. And this is separate and distinct from

584
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: what we decide to pay people minimum wage. In a

585
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: general discussion of our society, those minimum wage jobs, for

586
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: the most part, are not only evolving to different sectors,

587
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: there are fewer in nature because of increased automation. When

588
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: we can tell you about Amazon, the casual less stores,

589
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: I actually went to one very similarly in an airport recently,

590
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: where you just kind of walk in, You scan your

591
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: credit or debit card so it has it on file.

592
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: You just take the stuff off the shelf, and as

593
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: you walk out, it scans the bar codes, the skew codes,

594
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: and then it just automatically debits your account and there's

595
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: no interaction with an actual person. That is where our

596
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: society is headed, and most of our minimum wage jobs

597
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: are in the service industry. Those jobs are just disappearing,

598
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: and I think it is. When I say it's wasted,

599
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean like it's wasted, like it's beneath us,

600
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I think we can better utilize our

601
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: capital and resources in terms of what we're fighting for.

602
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: I honestly think we're fighting for jobs which are not

603
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: even going to be here in five years. In many instances,

604
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: we can go to a grocery store right now and

605
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: there are fewer cashiers on duty in every store every

606
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: single day. Why because you have the automated checkout line

607
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the store and it costs a

608
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: hell of a lot less than paying Twala or me

609
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: fourteen dollars an hour plus healthcare plus payroll taxes. Right right.

610
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: And they have also rolled out in southern California. I

611
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: know it was a novelty at first, but the robotic

612
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: burger flipper yep, not being flipping, but that is one

613
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: of the things that Yet when they rolled it, I

614
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: wasn't okay. I know it sounds like it, but now

615
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: I think then the beginning, it was like, oh, hey,

616
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: this is a novel idea. Come to our spot and

617
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: seeing you know, Robbie the burger flipping robot whatever it's called,

618
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: whatever the restaurant is. Yes, it was rolled out. It's like, hey,

619
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: this is interesting, but it actually works. And now there

620
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: isn't someone that is they're actually cooking the burgers. Wants

621
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: something like that rolls out. Same as if you go

622
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: to Vons, if you go to CFS, if you go

623
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: to whichever market or you know, pharmacy type store and

624
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: they have two cashiers, but they have seven or eight

625
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: you know, self checkouts where everyone is going. Then you

626
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: start that's seven or eight jobs. And I can think

627
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: about it this way. If you go to McDonald's and

628
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: we all go to fast food locations on occasion. If

629
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: you go to McDonald's and you see those stand up

630
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: chios right now there for convenience sake, but basically they're

631
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: testing their effectiveness and their efficiency where ultimately you don't

632
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: need someone to take your money or to take your order.

633
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: In a technological sense, we're way beyond that. We can

634
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: key in our order, go to the counter, pick it

635
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: up from someone who can just hand us our food.

636
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: We've already paid for it. It's not an actual monetary

637
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: transaction at that point, and we can go on about

638
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: our way. If I'm a business owner, and this is

639
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: separate again, separate from the whole debate on who should

640
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: get how much for a minimum wage. I just know

641
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 1: as a business owner, I don't need six and seven

642
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: even people working at a time in a fast food

643
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: restaurant and me paying all of them fourteen dollars an hour.

644
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Fifteen dollars an hour. It does not matter, because I

645
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: don't need a physical person to take a McDonald's order anymore.

646
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: I think it's almost like a courtesy at this point

647
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: because some people just like being able to talk to someone.

648
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: But if you ever went into McDonald's, and I understood

649
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: this during the pandemic more than ever, because people were

650
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: shying away from physical interaction, and they would if the

651
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: place that they did have kiosk, they'd wipe them down

652
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: every time someone use them. But it was actually quicker

653
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: than standing in that line and waiting for someone to

654
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: hear your order, key in your order and then step

655
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: to the side and wait for your order, when you

656
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: could walk in and just key in your order, pay

657
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: for it, and then you just call your number, pick

658
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: it up, and you leave. Last moment of the movies, AMC.

659
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: Who doesn't take cash anymore? That's right, that's right, don't

660
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: take credit card, only walk in. They scan my ticket

661
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: on my phone. I had pre ordered my food scan

662
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: that went over picked by food up. How many jobs

663
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: is that gone? And that has nothing to do with

664
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: whether someone gets paid fourteen dollars an hour or fifteen

665
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: dollars an hour. It's the whole point that our economy,

666
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: those jobs were going to be mixed no matter what.

667
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: Because an employer, I should say, a business's obligation is

668
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: to decrease its bottom line and the variable costs of

669
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: employees and payroll taxes. That's something that is always going

670
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: to be cut if and when they can cut it.

671
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: If I can have a machine do it, and I

672
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about an employee's going to show

673
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: up late, or going to show up sick, or is

674
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: going to call out sick, or is just not dependable

675
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: as an employee, and I can have some form of

676
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: technology cut out that job, then yeah, That's what I'm

677
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: going to do. And I think the fight to bring

678
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: all of this together with great respect. I'm not trying

679
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: to dis respect the work of people who are working

680
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: minimum wage jobs. I think we need to be more

681
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: than shortsighted. We have to see that most of these

682
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: jobs are going to disappear inside of five years. Most

683
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: of them. The technology is there, they're tweaking it, and

684
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: whether you're asking for fourteen dollars, fifteen dollars, eighteen dollars,

685
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty dollars an hour, those jobs just won't be there.

686
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: And I think we as a society are going to

687
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 1: have to figure out how we're going to make jobs

688
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: available or careers available for people usually either earlier in

689
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: their career or less skilled in their skill set to

690
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: find gainful employment. We're not talking about it now, but

691
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: we're going to have an explosion and unemployment because there

692
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: won't be enough jobs for people. Not that they won't

693
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: have the skills, they won't have the skills for the

694
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: evolving economy, that which is right on our doorstep right here.

695
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: And if you're expecting that you'll be able to work

696
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: the cashier at McDonald's in five years, you're deluded yourself.

697
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: That job will not be there. This is the John
