Why you can before they lock us down again. 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're going to talk about that. The COVID 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: numbers are going through the roof. And it's not just 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: the COVID numbers as the folks who are in the 34 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: hospital and monkey pox. It's here, I mean here here, 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: not here in the studio. Well, I don't know it's 36 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: quite possible, but here, as in La County and Orange County. 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: We got to talk about that. But what I want 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: to start with is this. As we are on the eve, 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: if you will, of America's birthday, there was this gallop 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: pole and it's being covered very differently depending on the 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: cable network. And what you're watching, if you're watching Fox News, 42 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: like what is on in the studio right now. The 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: gallop Pole showed that I would say patriotism is quote 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: unquote at an all time low. Won't go into all 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: the numbers and everything, but that's the general takeaway. How 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: it's covered on CNN is that you know, patriotism is 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: at an all time low. That's how they phrased it. 48 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: That's how the gallop Pole was phrased. When I turn 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: on Fox, they say patriotism is at an all time low, 50 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: and Biden's America, so they make a political connection. And 51 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: this is where I want to start with this, this 52 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: idea of patriotism. I know it's different things to different people, 53 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: how we feel about the country. Some people think that 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: patriotism is stagnant, or I should say, is it stays 55 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: right where it is. It's not supposed to move. In 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: other words, you're just proud of your country and there's 57 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: nothing that ever should ever change. It's supposed to be 58 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: stagnant in that nature where it should not move. It 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: should be static. I'm of the opinion that you can 60 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: be proud of your country, you can be proud of 61 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: being an American but also leave room for informed criticism. 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Talk about this more perfect union, Well, if there's going 63 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: to be a more perfect union, that's acknowledging it's not 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: perfect in their things which can be improved. Now, we 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: may disagree as far as what that may be, but 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: we should agree that there's room for improvement. We probably 67 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: won't agree on how to go about it, but we 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: know it's not perfect. And what is wrong with this 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: country is something that we can point to. Economically, we 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: can say inflation is out of control, or we can 71 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: say politically it's this political party, or in the case 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: of Fox News, is I'm watching there? Americans are not 73 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: proud of Biden's America. That's what the Chiron says. Or 74 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: you can make it any number of reasons. You can 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: say it's a legislative if you're a Democrat, or you're 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: for pro choice, you say, legislatively, we're not going in 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: the right direction. There are all sorts of reasons to 78 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: criticize of America, and we look at patriotism through very 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: different prisms and lenses. But for me, I think it's 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: dual in nature. I think it's being proud of being 81 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: an American, the fact that we live in the greatest 82 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: country on the face of the earth. I don't think 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: that's really arguable. We do, but at the same time, 84 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: realize that there's some things that aren't right, that aren't 85 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: great in the greatest country in America. And here's what 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if we talk about it within this political matrix, 87 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere with this, I promise. I often get 88 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: asked sometimes you ask me on Twitter at mister Mokelly. 89 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: I often get asked, MO, who do you vote for? 90 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: Who did you vote for? What are you looking for 91 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: in a candidate? The number one thing that I look 92 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: for in a candidate are you a decent person. Don't 93 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: tell me about your politics. Don't tell me about your beliefs, okay, 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: because always someone wants to tell you. Get on Twitter 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: right now and you'll see on someone's fluck they'll say 96 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Second Amendment, I love America. No woke conservative whatever it 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: may be, or I'm super radical, I'm liberal. We have 98 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: these labels who want to profess our beliefs to let 99 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: people know who supposedly we are. No, just are you 100 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: a decent person? That's the first thing that I'm looking for. 101 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: Demonstrate that you're civil and decent, and for me, that's 102 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the foundation of all good politics and debate if you 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: can be decent, because policy is always negotiable, but how 104 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: do you negotiate. You have to negotiate in good faith, 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: you have to come from a good place, and if 106 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: you're not decent, then you really can't get anything done. 107 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: I would say, because policy is negotiable, but character isn't. 108 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes people mistake decency as being a sign of weakness. 109 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: But for me, and maybe this is arbitrary, maybe this 110 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: is just specific to me, but I think of decency 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: is being measured by how you treat people, how you 112 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: speak to people, how you speak of people when nobody 113 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: else is watching. Because I live by three things, decency, dignity, 114 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: and decorum. And I've never ever supported petulance in a candidate, childishness, 115 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. If you're preferred candidate acts like 116 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: a child or a clown, or it is prone to outbursts, 117 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: not calling any names. But you can fill in the blank, well, 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't support that support those types of antics. I 119 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: will support the politician or their stances because that is 120 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: antithetical to who I am. And if you know me, 121 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: you know this to be true. This isn't new. Now 122 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: going one step further, and I promise you I'm going 123 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: somewhere with this. Being decent is not enough. I also 124 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: require competency and proficiency because leadership requires demonstrable exceptional skills 125 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and abilities. Saying what you like or same things which 126 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: you think people like to hear. That doesn't make you 127 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: a leader. That just means that you're good. In a commercial. 128 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: I can tell Towalla who's producing today everything he wants 129 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: to hear. It doesn't mean that I'm a good person 130 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: to run for office because I can tell him what 131 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: I think he wants to hear to get his vote. 132 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: That doesn't make me a leader. I need someone who 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: has exemplary accomplishments or education and exhibit sober judgment. I'm 134 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: talking about the best of us. And if you want 135 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: to call that elitism, then guilty as charge. You know why, 136 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: because I like my doctors elites. I like my attorneys elite. 137 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: I like my airline pilots elites. I like my teachers, 138 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: elite welders law enforcement. I don't want mediocre law enforcement. 139 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Neither do you. And it's no different when it comes 140 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: to public officeholders like President of the United states. All 141 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: that stuff matters. So when I hear and see that 142 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: Howard Stern is trying to run for president or says 143 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: that he's serious about running for president, I say, gt 144 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: foh wt b s foh. Don't tell me that a 145 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: radio host with this much I would say competence as 146 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: me and I don't take myself seriously as Howard Stern 147 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: is going to be running for president now. A while ago, 148 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: some years ago, you would say that's ridiculous, Moe, he 149 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: would never do something like that. But when you think 150 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: about where we are as a country, going back to 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: the idea of patriotism, you know that it's really not ridiculous. 152 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I mean, The Rock has flirted with running for president. 153 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: He even went so far as doing a focus group 154 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: testing his likability this past presidential cycle. I bet you 155 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: didn't know that. I know firsthand. I was one person removed. 156 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: I talked to someone who was part of the focus group. 157 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: The Rock is still seriously considering running for president. Elon 158 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: Musk I think even flirted with the idea until someone 159 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: had to remind him, Dude, you weren't born in this country. 160 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: You're not eligible. But that's where we are. We think 161 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: that someone has money, or they have a statement or 162 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: a stance in which it resonates with us, have him 163 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: run for president. It doesn't work that way. So the 164 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: idea of Howard Stern running for president may be outlandish 165 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: to me personally, but America in twenty twenty two, it's 166 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: right on time. It's right on time. Now here's the 167 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: flip side before we go to break. He says he's serious, 168 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's serious. Howard Stern says 169 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things. He is known to try to 170 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: just get a rise out of response out of people. 171 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: He says that his running mate is going to be 172 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper. This kind of on message for Howard Stern. 173 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: He says that he's going to choose Bradley Cooper, who's 174 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: made no such statement. He's going to choose Bradley Cooper 175 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: to ensure that he would get the woman vote. Now, 176 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: if you know the history of Howard Stern, as I do, 177 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: he's probably not going to get the woman vote. Okay, 178 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: he's about as sexist as they come. But where we 179 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: are in America, it's possible that he would actually run 180 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: and he would never get my vote because my patriotism 181 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: tying it all together is tied to this being the 182 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: greatest nation on the face of this earth. And there's 183 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: no way that I would want the greatest nation on 184 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: the face of this earth to further embarrass itself with 185 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: these half baked schemes and bargain basement people trying to 186 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: pass themselves off as public servants, because I love this 187 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: country too much to have it go to the dogs 188 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: like that with such unserious, incompetent people. This is the JOHNA. 189 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: Ken Show. I'm o Kelly and for John Ken, I 190 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: have more when we come back. We're Life Everywhere on 191 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Last segment, I started off talking about 192 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: this Gallop News poll and how it was covered so 193 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: very differently, at least in terms of its presentation on 194 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: Fox News and CNN. If you haven't been to our studios, 195 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: there are multiple TVs up and down the hallways and 196 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: in the studios which are on various channels. Sometimes they're 197 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: on cable news channels, sometimes they're on sports channels and 198 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: so forth, so you can get an idea of what 199 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: news is being featured on the different networks for whatever reasons, 200 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: depending on what the day has and today most of 201 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: cable news is talking about this particular poll which was 202 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: supposed to measure I guess our feeling of patriotism in 203 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: this moment, and I don't like polls if you ever 204 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: listen to them Kelly Show, which I host on Saturdays 205 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: and Sundays here on K five from six to APM. 206 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't talk about polls because polls are just a snapshot. 207 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: They're fleeting, they're misleading, they are leading in nature in 208 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: terms of how the questions are asked and the desired results, 209 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: and also if you know anything about the methodology of polling, 210 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: it's almost like if I were to look at Eric 211 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: who's in air mix, and he's running the board, and 212 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: I say, Eric, are you hungry? And if I ask 213 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: him specifically right before lunch, his answer is going to 214 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: be very different than if I were to ask him 215 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: an hour after lunch. And posters understand that. So when 216 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: you take a poll about patriotism a few days after major, 217 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: major decisions and controversial decisions by the Supreme Court, it 218 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: is almost predictable how people are going to respond, if 219 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: only because of recency bias, and they're going to respond 220 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: out of the how they most recently felt about something 221 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: major happening in the country, not necessarily a general feeling 222 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: about their level of patriotism, but it's more specific to 223 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: something which may have happened or they read, or they 224 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: heard or they saw in the past four or five days. 225 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: That's why I take polls with a grain of salt. 226 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: If you were to ask, I would say what people 227 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: thought about Donald Trump in the hour after the cast 228 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: City Hutchinson testimony, you would probably get one set of 229 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: figures and statistics. If you ask, maybe a week afterwards 230 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: or a week before, you get another set. So that's 231 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: why poles don't mean a lot. That said this gallop 232 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: pole was measuring patriotism. And the short takeaway is that Americans, supposedly, 233 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: as we go into this Independence Day weekend, we are 234 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: less patriotic than ever before. And I would submit I 235 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: argue that patriotism is not static, and patriotism is more 236 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: than just waking up and knowing that this is the 237 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: greatest country on the face of the planet. I know 238 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: that I believe that with all my heart. But I 239 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: also know that we as Americans and this country as America, 240 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: has not met its potential. And when you ask certain 241 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: questions about patriotism. You got to make sure you make 242 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: the distinction of whether you can are proud to be 243 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: an American, but also are you willing to criticize America. 244 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: And there's some people, maybe in one of them, who 245 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: believe you should not ever criticize America because we have 246 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: it so good here, as people say, just shut up 247 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: or love it and leave it. If you're going to 248 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: criticize America, criticize her from some other country, just become 249 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: an expat. I don't necessarily agree with that or believe that. 250 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: I believe that all the major social movements, the civil 251 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: rights movement, suffrage and so forth, abolitionist movement, they are 252 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: both proof that America could be a more perfect union 253 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: and also proof that America fell short of its promise 254 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: to all Americans, of all people. As far as that 255 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: promise of what could be the American dream, it's proof 256 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: that we've come a long way and proof that we 257 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: needed to go a long way to get to this point. 258 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: America has never been perfect, and the idea of patriotism 259 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: is very different. And for me, I always want to 260 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: see America at its best. What does that mean? The 261 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: best leaders, the best people to be able to represent us, 262 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: to be able to speak, for us, to be able 263 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: to defend us all of those things. And I believe 264 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: that we all have a responsibility and a say in 265 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: choosing those individuals who give America the best opportunity to 266 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: reach that end, that goal of being that more perfect union, 267 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: to be that shining city on the hill, or whatever 268 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: metaphor or analogy that you want to stick in place 269 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: of what America's supposed to be. And I started talking 270 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: about this within the context of Howard Stern putting out 271 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: there that he may run for president, or that he's serious, 272 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's serious just from what I 273 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: know about Howard. We haven't met, but I've worked in 274 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: radio for twenty two years, entertainment for thirty years. I 275 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: can kind of tell when somebody's not really serious. And 276 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to running for president, there is a 277 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: process involved. He's just putting it out there as a 278 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: trial balloon to see how people will react. If he 279 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: were serious, he would have to know that there are 280 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things that have to be done behind 281 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: the scenes before you even put that out there. So 282 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: I know in that regard how the process works. I 283 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: know that he's not serious. But there's a serious commentary 284 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: to be made because there will be those individuals, most 285 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: likely Democrats, because who Howard Stern represents at this particular 286 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: moment in terms of his public politics and pronouncements. He's 287 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: very anti Donald Trump. He's been very critical of the 288 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: former president personally and politically and socially for a lot 289 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: of reasons, talking about their interviews and their friendship over 290 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: the years. So he would run as a Democrat. There's 291 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: no way in hell he would get the Democratic nomination. 292 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: What happened with Donald Trump in the Republican Party cannot 293 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: happen with Howard Stern in the Democratic Party. It just 294 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't happen for any number of reasons. But I will 295 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: say this, in the age of Donald Trump, it is 296 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: more than believable. In fact, it's exceptionally believable. If there's 297 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: such a thing that Howard Stern would go through with 298 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: this and actually run for president. Would it be a 299 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: serious campaign or would it be a Kanye West campaign? 300 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, probably the latter. But we in America 301 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: now are conditioned to having celebrities, people who are are 302 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: well known as quote unquote viable I shouldn't say viable, 303 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: just candidates. I can't call him viable because I don't 304 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: think that he could actually win. But we are now 305 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: in a world where, hey, you can't discount him because 306 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. Well, I can discount him for a 307 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: number of reasons because he wouldn't be running in a 308 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump type fashion. But people give him so much 309 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: credibility and credence where you can't rule him out as 310 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: far as a candidate. And what does that say about us? 311 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: What does that say about how unserious we are as 312 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: a country? Now again, let me in where I began. 313 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: I love this country, and if I love this country 314 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: and I want the best for this country, how can 315 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: I with a straight face be okay with Howard Stern 316 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: running for president and knowing that if he were to 317 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: run for president, would do better than half the field 318 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: at the gate. He's not credible, he's not proficient in 319 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: anything other than radio and maybe managing his money. I 320 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: have no idea, but there are millions of people who 321 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: would vote for him regardless, and that's saddens me as 322 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: an American, because if you actually love this country and 323 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: you are a patriot and you want the best for 324 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: this country, how can I reconcile Howard Stern as being 325 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: a serious presidential candidate, and our news media covering it 326 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: as if he could be a serious presidential candidate and 327 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: not be dismissed out of hand as he should be. 328 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: That's the question I have as we go into this 329 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: Independence Day weekend. It's one thing to love America, but 330 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: can we have an honest conversation of where we're falling 331 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: short as Americans, where our legislative process is falling short, 332 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: and where we've fallen short and forgotten what it means 333 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: to be exceptional. American exceptionalism seems to be more an 334 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: idea and a marketing slogan than a reality. This is 335 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: the John and Ken Show. I'm Kelly and for John 336 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: and Ken. Care if I am six forty life everywhere 337 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. I am a big proponent of 338 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: people doing what they can with what they have right 339 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: where they are. If all you have is a social 340 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: media account and you want to share your voice, then 341 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: by all means do that. That's a part of being 342 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: an American. Free speech and I'm all for that. It 343 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: does not mean that you will not be criticized. It 344 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: does not mean that you won't be held to account. 345 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: It does not mean that there won't be consequences for 346 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: what you have to say. But if you feel so compelled. 347 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't believe that someone should not say something. I 348 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: believe they should say something. I'm not a believer in hey, 349 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: you're an athlete, shut up and dribble. No, I don't 350 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: believe that. Some of the greatest changes that we can 351 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: point to in America have come from athletes plural, both 352 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: men and women, who did not shut up, who spoke out, 353 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: who used their platform right where they were to make 354 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: sure that America knew either what was going on in 355 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: certain quadrants of the country or what certain people were 356 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: experiencing in certain communities, and to shed light on inequity. 357 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: So if you are a student of history, you should 358 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: never say, well, so and so is an actor, or 359 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: so and so is a basketball player. They need to 360 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: shut the hell up and they should just be happy 361 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: for what America is and just count their money. You 362 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: will never hear me say that, and I hope that 363 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: you would never say that, because if we're all Americans, 364 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, patriots, and we're talking about patriotism and loving 365 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: the Constitution. It's not just for some people some of 366 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: the time regarding some things, if we somehow feel it's okay, 367 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. So there will be celebrities 368 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: who will speak out, including Donald Trump. He's a celebrity 369 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: more than anything before he became a politician. There will 370 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: be celebrities who speak out. We may agree with them, 371 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: we may not agree with them. Some of them are informed, 372 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: some of them are uninformed. But I don't believe that 373 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: just because you're a celebrity that you need to shut 374 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: the hell up now. It does mean that after you 375 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: do speak out, you are serving yourself up for analysis 376 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: and critique. I am a firm believer. I say it 377 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: all the time. Not all opinions are created equal. Some 378 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: are more informed, some are less informed, some are all 379 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: together uninformed. And yes, there are many instances where people 380 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: in Hollywood are altogether uninformed because they come from an 381 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: environment where everyone tells them, yes, everyone fawns over them, 382 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: like some who may be running for president or running 383 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: for governor, who are going to call any names Matthew 384 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: McConaughey or the Rock. And so they feel emboldened that 385 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: what they say or what they believe is true and 386 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: accurate because no one has ever challenged them because they're 387 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: just yes people around them. So I'm a firm believer 388 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: celebrities speak out and then your opinions will be vetted publicly. 389 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: And one person who falls within that, i'll say matrix 390 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: is John Voight, although he may be a conservative and 391 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: his opinions may be more extreme. Quote unquote air quotes 392 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: my phrase. I don't look at him any differently from 393 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: any other celebrity using his platform, using his voice to 394 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: have his say. Now, don't get me wrong, there are 395 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: a lot of things he says which you are patently untrue, 396 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: and they're not based in factor civics left be clear. Okay, 397 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: But I don't dismiss him merely because he is a celebrity. 398 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: He is an American, just like anyone and everyone else. 399 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say, hey, Lebron James, you go ahead 400 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: and have your say, but John vo you don't have 401 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: your say. I'm not gonna say Mark Ruffalo you need 402 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: to shut up. But hey, how about you, Chuck Norris, 403 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: you go ahead and say what you have to say, 404 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: because either you like or you low their politics not 405 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: at all. So with that in mind, you might have 406 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: heard the latest controversy and I put that in air quotes. 407 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: It's been getting a lot of media coverage. I think 408 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: that's a more accurate way to put it. John Voyd 409 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: on this Independence Day weekend gave his latest feelings about 410 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: America feelings about President Biden. Some of it's predictable, some 411 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: of it's not necessarily predictable, but I want to play 412 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: it and then respond to it. My dear friends, we're 413 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: all saddened by so much turmoil that has been brought 414 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: upon this life we live. Can this darkness be lifted? 415 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: Can we all share joy once again and see eye 416 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: to eye. We have a troubled nation with much horror 417 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: from these criminals that are ruining lives. We must stop 418 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: this now. We must bring back our nation's safety. Our 419 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: police force must act on righteousness and guard our neighborhoods, 420 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: our businesses, our children are elderly, our veterans and are handicapped. 421 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: We must protect this nation and bring back safety. We're 422 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: all feeling very unsafe. We're all angry, and let's remember why. 423 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: It starts with the seat of the President of the 424 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: United States. He has wronged this nation's glory. He has 425 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: taken down our morals, our true gift of the land 426 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: of the free. He must be impeached. We cannot wait 427 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: another second having him dictate our path. Let us work together, 428 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: get him out and make this country which he stands 429 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: for greatness, the land of opportunity, the land of the 430 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: greatest soil our forefathers fought for. Don't let this President 431 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: Biden tear down every inch that was sacrificed with blood, 432 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: sweat and tears for his dictation of lies. I urge 433 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: all to see truths. I urge all to make a 434 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: difference for our children's future, our future, because, my fellow Americans, 435 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: this land is being broken down. But we, as a 436 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: nation of God's truths, shall build her up once again 437 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: and bring her to her feet with glory. God bless America, 438 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Much love to you. He should have ended it with 439 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: much love to you, then, God Bless America. You end 440 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: with God Bless America. You know, but is a little dramatic, 441 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: is a little bit over the top. You know, there's 442 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: almost like thousand years of darkness in a fire and brimstone. 443 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: But he is an actor, so he's prone to be hyperbolic, 444 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: as most actors are. Here's this serious point about what 445 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: John Voyd had to say, whereas I don't have any 446 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: problem with him being a conservative, or him being anti Biden, 447 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: or even calling for Biden's impeachment, Let's talk about the 448 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: reality of what he's talking about. None of that shite 449 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: is going to happen, none of it. Yes, the Republicans 450 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: likely will take the House and Senate in November, and 451 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: if you have a majority of members in the House, 452 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: in theory you could impeach President Biden, but you're not 453 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: going to remove him from office. You won't get the 454 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: votes in the Senate. And yes, I know that a 455 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: lot of it will be When I say payback is 456 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: going to be a response to the impeachments of Donald Trump, 457 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: I'm not naive in that regard. There's going to be 458 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: blowback from that, whether you agreed with the two impeachments 459 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump or not. But the reality of it, 460 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: the practical matter of it all, is that Donald Trump 461 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: lost the election in twenty twenty Joe Biden will be 462 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: president through twenty twenty four unless he were to drop dead. 463 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that to be funny. I'm just saying 464 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: that's about the only way it's not going to change. 465 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: With the midterms it's not going to change with any impeachment, 466 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: So what has to happen here? And maybe he's just 467 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: trying to motivate Republican voters and that's not, you know, unbelievable. 468 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: I'm quite sure that that's part of it. But we 469 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: have a lack of understanding of civics. That's the point. 470 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 1: We don't understand how our country actually works. And if 471 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: we want to talk about patriotism, if we want to 472 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: talk about loving America, wouldn't you want to know fundamentally 473 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: how your country works, how it's supposed to work. And 474 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: not liking the guy in office is not grounds for impeachment. 475 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: He didn't saying that he's I'm paraphrasing John Voy. Saying 476 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: that he's bringing darkness over the land is not an 477 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: impeachable offense. Okay, saying that crime is running rampant around 478 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: the country is not an impeachable offense for the president 479 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: of the United States. The president is not responsible for 480 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: crime in your community or mine. The president may guard 481 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: our borders in terms of federal policy and also guarding 482 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: against threats foreign and domestic, but as far as crime 483 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: in my neighborhood, the guy down the street who's trying 484 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: to steal my car probably tonight. That has nothing to 485 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: do with the president. But we want to blame everything 486 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: on the president. We want to blame the gas prices 487 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: on the president, want to blame inflation on the president. 488 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, I promise you, and this 489 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: is true of any president. If the president could control 490 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: gas prices or inflation, they would have done it immediately. 491 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: Because they're selfish individuals and they want to be reelected. 492 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: They're not going to allow this to just continue if 493 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: they could actually control it. Believe you me, they are 494 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: some selfish sobs narcissists who only want to stay in office. 495 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,479 Speaker 1: If Joe Biden could control gas prices, believe me, he 496 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: would be controlling them. But we live in a capitalistic society, 497 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, the free market. You can't have a free 498 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: market and also have the president control in the free market. 499 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: That's kind of like contradictory. But John Voyd I encourage 500 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: him to continue to speak out because he actually is 501 00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: a voice of a lot of people who feel the 502 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: same way. The problem with what he's saying is it's 503 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: not going to turn out the way because people fundamentally 504 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: John and Boy included don't understand how their own country works. 505 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: This is the John and Kin Show. Kay, if I 506 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: am six forty, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 507 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm o Kelly in for John and Kin on this Friday. 508 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this weekend? I surely am. I'm 509 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna fit in some food and some fireworks and some fun. 510 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna actually set off any fireworks. I'm gonna 511 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: watch some fireworks. I can just walk home, Just walk 512 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: in my neighborhood any given day, anywhere from April to July, 513 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: and I can see a fireworks show every single day. 514 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: None of them are legal, but I can see one, 515 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: and they're usually very close to my house. Some of 516 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: them are professional grades, some are not professional grade. And 517 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: that's just when you live in certain parts of the city. 518 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: There's a fireworks show every single day. So when I 519 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: look at certain news that fireworks shows official shows have 520 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: been canceled in four LA County cities amid an investigation 521 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: of a pyrotechnics firm, I have to say, it'll be okay, 522 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: It'll be okay. You know what did Jeff Goldblum say? 523 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: You know, nature finds a way. They'll find a way 524 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: have a fireworks show, especially if you live in one 525 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: of my neighborhoods. They can cancel every official fireworks show 526 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: within ten miles of my house. It would not make 527 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: a damn bit of difference. They're going to be just 528 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: as many illegal fireworks going off, and they'll be just 529 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: as professional in nature. You really can't even tell the difference. 530 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: But back to the story, officials in four cities in 531 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: La County supposedly we're left scrambling to find alternative entertainment 532 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: after they were forced to cancel firework shows just days 533 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: before the Fourth of July. Background June twenty fifth, the 534 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: California State Fire Marshal rated the exposed shows Incorporated Warehouse 535 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: in Mojave for public safety concerns and potential criminal activity. 536 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: As a result the contract, the contractor's display permit was 537 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: revoked and the subsequent fire work shows were canceled. Lancaster, 538 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: in Palmdale in the Antelope Valley, those cities canceled their 539 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: annual Fourth of July extravaganzas and people are very very 540 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: upset there. But but in La Puente City officials said 541 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: instead of fireworks, the city will celebrate America's Birthday with 542 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: a patriotic laser light show and twila. We were watching TV. 543 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what city it was. They had like 544 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: a drone celebration where they were doing these drone displays 545 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: up in the air. I've seem them like for I 546 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: first saw them at the I think it was the 547 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: Summer Olympics in Beijing. Yeah, where they had I think 548 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: it's the opening ceremony. We had these thousands of drones 549 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: in these almost like a marching band procesession where they 550 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: would make these shapes and figures. And I guess they're 551 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: doing it now for firework shows. I think that's actually worse. 552 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,239 Speaker 1: To me, it's a test because they're one hundred and 553 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: fifty flying objects in the air. Yeah, we actually a 554 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: thousand and five put a gun on those. All I'm 555 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: saying is that if anyone, anyone is gonna miss out 556 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: on any of these firework shows, just drive around where 557 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: you stay at the Harbor area. What is that area 558 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: you staying. I'm not just saying no, no, just the 559 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: general area, not your neighborhood. I was gonna say, I'm 560 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: not too far from the new stadium. I was talking 561 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: to Eric. We both went to so far for the 562 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: first time around the same time this year, we were 563 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: at the same game, Jaguars game. Yes, right, we just 564 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: didn't know, and we both posted photos from the game. 565 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: It's like, wait a minute, you're there. I was there, 566 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: So I'm about three miles from the stadium. Just drive 567 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: around because last time we came out last year, the 568 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: entire way back to the freeway, it was NonStop fireworks shows, NonStop. 569 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Some of them were legal, most of them were not. 570 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: Didn't China also have fake fireworks? If those opening ceremonies, 571 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: didn't they get caught with something like that, they probably 572 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: did or something. Yeah, I mean it's China. Yeah, But 573 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: I do like the drone idea. I've seen it at 574 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: concerts and stuff they like. I remember a Coachella where 575 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: they had a certain act had I can't remember which acts, 576 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: but they had drones that were in the air shining 577 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: lights and yeah, dancing and doing cool moves. I think 578 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. You like them until they're coming knocking 579 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: on your door. Oh well, yeah, that's a whole different story. 580 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: But I mean, put it this way, if they fall 581 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: out of the sky, they're not going to do as 582 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: much damage as an actual explosive. I mean, yes, they 583 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: could be weaponized to your point to walla sharp don't 584 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: get me wrong, I mean an act. Yeah, yeah, I 585 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: mean yeah, they're bad things which can happen with them 586 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: or anything. But you can't start a forest fire, Yes 587 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: they can't. Yes, they can't, not as easily. Yeah, explode, 588 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair, that's fair. We'll put a torch on them. 589 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: There are a lot of things you can do with them. 590 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: But if anything, they're probably less likely to kill someone 591 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: naturally than fireworks. I think we can agree on that. 592 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: And the city of Leadwood they're going to celebrate the 593 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: holiday with a festival and laser light show, and in addition, 594 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about this, the city 595 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: moved the event to July third. I okay, you know 596 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. I'm a guy. Now I 597 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: can go to like Dodger Stadium and they have fireworks night. 598 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not on the fourth of July, depending on 599 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: the homestand and so forth, for example. But for me, 600 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: if I'm going to celebrate the fourth of July, and 601 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: I do, it's got to be on the fourth of July. 602 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: And I understand this year it falls on a Monday, 603 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: the holiday is on Monday and kind of messes up 604 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: the whole weekend vibe thing. And some cities and folks 605 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: may have a celebration or party whatever on Sunday. It's 606 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: just kind of weird. It's kind of weird. There's no 607 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: need for that. If you want fireworks like that, go 608 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: down to Anaheim, go to Disneyland and see their fireworks 609 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: show or not. Imagine my whatever you're speaking my language. 610 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Fourth of July fireworks need to be 611 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: on the fourth. Any city that's trying to do that, 612 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: they should lose their license and right to be a city. 613 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: Oh that seems kind of drastic. I know, it seems 614 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: kind of over the top. Is this a bad time 615 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: for me to say that I think fireworks are overrated? No, 616 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: I've always thought that you see one firework, you've seen 617 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: them all. They don't get any different from me. It's 618 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: just the nostalgia and the fields. I like going outside 619 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: at nine pm and be able to watch in a 620 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degree panoramic view from my house. 621 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: I can see all these firework shows and I get 622 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: to remember all the great memories of being a child, 623 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: and you know, running in the streets and actually drinking 624 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: water from from the hose. You know, kids don't do 625 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: that anymore. They don't play in the street, they don't 626 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: drink from the water hose, all those great things which 627 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: I associate with the best of America. That's why I 628 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: like fireworks shows. The actual fireworks. No. I mean, I've 629 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: been burned a couple of times by sparklers and mad is, 630 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: almost blown out my ear and almost blown off my hand, 631 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: all those things, so I don't think of fireworks in 632 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: that way. That's why I'm fine with just being home 633 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: and oftentimes listening to them seeing them in the distance. 634 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: I don't need to go to a fireworks show to 635 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: feel like I've had that Fourth of July experience. I 636 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: like the aroma of the gunpowder. I like that smell. 637 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 1: You know. In my neighborhood, my old neighborhood, they would 638 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: almost every year. If you go to my Instagram, you'd 639 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: have to dig for it. But I used to post 640 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 1: this picture. Someone would take an old toilet and put 641 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: it in the middle of the street, and you said, 642 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: as a rocket launcher rockets, you know, ghetto style and everything. 643 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: But that was a part of the fun where you 644 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 1: didn't have the money for a real professional quality fireworks shows. 645 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: You had to make do of what you had. Those 646 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: things remind me of just being a kid where you 647 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: didn't didn't do the stuff that the professional shows were 648 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: the the fireworks weren't as available on that level. We 649 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: have the low level, what they call the safe and 650 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: same fireworks, the piccolo pete's, the firecrackers, the sparklers, no more, no, 651 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: no more. But I'm just saying that's why I like 652 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: the fireworks shows now, because it just reminds me of 653 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: that time. That's all. I just wonder how many retired 654 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:26,240 Speaker 1: pyrotechnic experts live in your neighborhood, because again, the show, 655 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: there's possibly one of the best fireworks shows I've been to, 656 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: right there in your backyard. Well. See, the thing is, 657 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: you can see Sofi Stadium, you can see the fireworks 658 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: show from Marina del Rey, and you can see downtown 659 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: the Grand Park celebration. That's part of the reason you 660 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: can see all those uninterrupted line of sight. So it's 661 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: one of those things where, yeah, I don't need to 662 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: go to the shows. I can see all the major shows, 663 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: and also you can see Long Beach. I don't know 664 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: which show that is, And depending on where you're looking, 665 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: you can all to see maybe the Torrents one, but 666 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: you can see these major shows from my backyard and 667 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: you don't have to go anywhere. It just happens to 668 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: be just a very central location, which is kind of cool. 669 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, to answer Air's question, that's the only reason why, Yes, 670 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: fireworks are overrated in terms of the actual fireworks. The 671 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: fireworks experience though when I say it warms my heart, 672 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: not trying to be funnier thing, it just gives me 673 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: good feelings of years ago. Yeah, that makes sense, the 674 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: whole nostalgia factor. It's just the whole idea for me 675 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: of just I just feel like if you've seen one firework, 676 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: you've seen them all, and you go up, you see 677 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: some pretty lights, you hear a big bang, big deal. Yeah, 678 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: there haven't been like advanced. Yeah. Yeah, the fireworks of 679 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties aren't much different visually from what I 680 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: could tell. Maybe they're safer, but as far as visually 681 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: and the tricks that can do this in the sky, 682 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: they're not that different from what we see today. So yeah, 683 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to a firework show to be wowed. 684 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm just not. I know it's going to start at 685 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: nine o'clock about between nineteen and nine fifteen. They'll have 686 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: the finale and they'll be just barrage of fireworks for 687 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: like a minute, and everyone claps and goes home, and 688 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: hopefully I'm intoxicated by them going back to the I 689 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: guess replacements for fireworks shows. One one idea just popped 690 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: in my head. What if it's something like World of Color, 691 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: where it's like you spray some water and shoot some 692 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: lights that way. I don't know, it just seems like 693 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: it's so expensive. I mean, I guess you're doing like 694 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: Vegas or something, But yeah, you gotta be able to 695 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: do it in the hood. I mean I could get 696 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: the water holes and someone could do it flashlight. I'm 697 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: going back to. I'm going back to the story of 698 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: these cities trying to find replacements. So you can pull 699 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: out a water holes, put your thumb at the top 700 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: of the host so you can spray the water. Someone 701 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: will have a colored flashlight and then you got a 702 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: light show. Hey, that works. You just have to be ingenious. 703 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: It's not going to be the same imagination. Are you sure? 704 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: I just went to World of color, not long ago, 705 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. It's movies shot against a bactrip of water, 706 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,919 Speaker 1: with fire, with sound, with lights, with all that. You're 707 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: not doing that Peak or Rivero wherever they're talking about. 708 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: Don't pick off. How much budget surplus does California have? Yeah, 709 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean they're gonna spin it on us. 710 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: Now we couldn't even get rid of the gas. Actually 711 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: think they're gonna you know, maybe he may spend it 712 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: on the French laundry. Who said that?
