There is 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: a petition that was submitted with four hundred and ten 80 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: thousand signatures yesterday at the La County Registrar's office.

So 93 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: they want to double the tax and make it last 94 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: forever because the quartercent is going to expire in three years.

And here's the usual. 101 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: The money from the tax they say would pay for 102 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: things like new affordable housing.

Now, we 170 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: the idiots in California just passed Governor Newsom's proposition barely, 171 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 2: but it passed to borrow six billion dollars for homelessness 172 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: and drug treatment and. 173 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Mental illness treatment right well now here. 174 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: On top of that, these these criminals in the homeless 175 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: industry got four hundred and ten thousand signatures together and 176 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: sent them to the La County Registrar's office yesterday to 177 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: get this new idea on the ballot for November. The 178 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 2: Affordable Housing Homelessness Solutions and Prevention Now initiative. This would 179 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: replace the temporary quarter set sales tax that funds homeless 180 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 2: programs that don't work and replace it with a new 181 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: hal sentid sales tax that's going to last forever. And 182 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: we told you that in the county, we passed a 183 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 2: quarter sent sales tax in La that created three and 184 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: a half billion dollars over ten years. Homelessness went up 185 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: double digits just last year, okay. And then in this one, 186 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: I was in twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen, the city of 187 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: La agreed to borrow a billion and a quarter dollars. 188 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: Affordable housing. 189 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: So between the two that is almost five billion dollars, 190 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 2: almost five billion dollars in La City in La County. 191 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,119 Speaker 2: And homelessness went up ten percent in the city, fourteen 192 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: percent on the streets of La County, and nine percent 193 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 2: overall just year to year. 194 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: So who's proposing this. 195 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: Well, would you believe it's it's people in the homeless 196 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: industry who want to make sure their funding doesn't run 197 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: out because eventually you borrow the money, but you've borrowed 198 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: all you're allowed to and then you're out right or 199 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: you have a quarter cent temporary sales tax. Well, that's 200 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: going to run out in twenty twenty seven. Let's step 201 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: it up here, let's replace it, make it permanent, Let's 202 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: increase it, double it, because that. 203 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: Tax is going to be doubled. So they have a quote. 204 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: From Ryan Smith, president and CEO of the Saint Joseph Center, 205 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: and he says, we need to double this tax and 206 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: make it permanent because more homeless people are being housed 207 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: now than ever before. But the problem is the number 208 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 2: of people becoming homeless is still outpacing the number that 209 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: are being housed. 210 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: In other words, no matter how many. 211 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: People we house, there's even more who show up unhoused. 212 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,599 Speaker 1: You like that word. 213 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: That's their official word, which means more and more people 214 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: are moving to LA to get a free home. 215 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: That's why they keep coming. 216 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know for these kind of people who don't 217 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: want to work, I mean most people who are working 218 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: these days don't really want to work. Imagine the work 219 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: ethic of people who aren't working. And then they hear 220 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: oh LA is giving out free houses and this Ryan 221 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: Smith says, this is going to address the issue by 222 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: focusing on prevention as well as housing solutions as much 223 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: as we're housing people, we need to make sure that 224 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: people are not falling into poverty. Well, falling into poverty 225 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: means you chose not to work, and you chose to 226 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: inject drugs or not take your mental health medication. 227 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: That's what you chose to do. Nobody falls into poverty. 228 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: You have to dive into poverty under your own power. 229 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: Things don't happen to people. People create their circumstances. There 230 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: are people who create the circumstances of not taking their 231 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: mental health medication, or of taking too many drugs and 232 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: not working well. 233 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: When you choose not. 234 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: To work, eventually you end up without a home. But 235 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: why should you work if we're giving out free homes. 236 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: Here's another one. At least Buick, President and CEO of 237 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: the United Way right, they don't have enough money. This 238 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: measure is new, bold, and critically important. It'll make sure 239 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: that nearly thirty thousand people receiving housing and services are 240 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: not caught off from that critical support and pushed back 241 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: into homelessness. If we pass this in twenty sixteen and 242 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, are those people back to work yet? No, 243 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: you're still not working after all these years. Oh, one 244 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: more line, This is my favorite. Service providers who receive 245 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: funding under this new measure must meet specific performance goals 246 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: because up to now they don't have to. They have 247 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: to report how they're spending the money because up until 248 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: now they don't, and they have to go undergo annual audits, 249 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: which hasn't existed. Otherwise they get their money taken away. 250 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: So with the two propositions we passed seven and eight 251 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: years ago, it didn't require any of these criminal nonprofits 252 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: to meet performance goals or to report how they're spending 253 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: the money and undergo audits. So the money disappeared and 254 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: homelessness shot up double digits. Oh but this time they'll 255 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: do it right. You just double our tax and we'll 256 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: do it right this time. I don't know what number 257 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: or initiative this is going to be on the ballot 258 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 2: or letter or whatever system they're using, but we'll let 259 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: you know to vote know on this emphatically, because this 260 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 2: is these are criminal organizations, these homeless nonprofits. 261 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 262 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 3: six forty. 263 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: We're on from one n till four, then after four 264 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: o'clock it's John Cobelt's show on demand it's the same show. 265 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: It's a podcast, and you can hear what you missed moistline. 266 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 2: I'm told we have vacancies on the moistline.

Hakman says this 310 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: story is based on a review of court records from 311 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: three counties dating back more than twenty five years, Duran 312 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: is a dangerous man who should not have been on 313 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: the streets to shoot Deputy I Sporrol. Let's start with 314 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: July eighth, twenty twenty one.

Duran then fled on foot, but officers 318 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: caught and arrested him. Now let's go through those events again. 319 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: Hit and run, resistant arrest, dangerous pursuit, police have to 320 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 2: crash their car.

So 337 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: let's say we have eleven plus four dating back to 338 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: two thousand and two. 339 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: He should be in prison until twenty seventeen. 340 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: Then November two thousand and nine, Durant stabs another prisoner 341 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 2: with a jail made knife a shank in Imperial County. 342 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: He pleads guilty to assaulting a prisoner in a matter 343 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: likely to cause great bodily injury, and he got another 344 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: four years in state prison on top of the fifteen 345 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: he'd already been sentenced to. So now we're looking at 346 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: nineteen years. Eventually, though, he gets released on parole and 347 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 2: is returned to Los Angeles County. 348 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: He violates parole. A warrant was issued. 349 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: Now after the police chase because of the parole violation. 350 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: Because of his long history of stabbing people, sometimes to death. 351 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: George Gascone could have sought a prison sentence Duran was 352 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: arrested for the police chase in twenty twenty one. Instead, 353 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 2: Gascone gave Duran probation in a plea bargain because these 354 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 2: are the orders he gives to is deputy DA's Duran 355 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 2: had faced up to six years in prison for this case, 356 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: but he got zero time. One prosecutor described this plea 357 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: bargain as atrocious. 358 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so what happens. 359 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: On February twenty sixth, twenty twenty two, they arrested Duran 360 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: again unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Gascone 361 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: agreed to a plea bargain. He only got two years 362 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: four months instead of six years. Well, of course he's 363 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: let out early. If he got in the six years, 364 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: he wouldn't have been loose to shoot the sheriff's deputy Aspiro. 365 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: It's incredible the number of violent crimes he's committed, and 366 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: he was out on the streets because of gascon No 367 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: matter how many times they caught him committing another felony 368 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 2: so Hakman reviews the case. You have a gang member 369 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: with manslaughter on his record, who assaulted a prison guard, 370 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 2: who stabbed another inmate, who violated parole after his release, 371 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: who evaded police in a televised chase, gets arrested with 372 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: a loaded firearm. Gascone wouldn't put him away, and so 373 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: he's out on the street and he shoots Deputy Ospuro 374 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: in the back. In West Covina, a case closed here. 375 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: Why would you give this guy a break? He's got 376 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: a rap sheet going back to nineteen ninety six. He's 377 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: already killed people, tried to kill a number of people, 378 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: and was succeeded at least once. Do you believe how 379 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: evil gascon is? You read this and you know it's enraging. 380 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: Your stomach gets sick. Gascone is pure evil. It says 381 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 2: as if the devil manufactured gascon in an evil District 382 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: attorney factory somewhere in Hell and shipped them down here 383 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: to ruin the lives of normal people. Gascone is probably 384 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: he must have horns growing at the back of his head. 385 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: It can't possibly be human. Who the f voted for 386 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: him in this county? 387 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: Wow? 388 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: All right, we come back we're all working with uninspired people. 389 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: I guess when you have nearly forty percent of Americans 390 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 2: polled saying they have never felt more uninspired than they 391 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 2: do now, not only the uninspired, but it's the most 392 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: uninspired they've ever been in their life. 393 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 5: I wonder why. 394 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, I don't know why. I don't know. 395 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 2: It seems like the pandemic just took the stuffing out 396 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: of people. Yeah, hasn't bounced back. I look every day 397 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 2: to see if it's bounced back. Hasn't mess. 398 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 5: We're inspired, so that's what matters. 399 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: That's right, So we will give you our inspirational analysis 400 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: why everybody else is uninspired. 401 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 402 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: Coming up after two o'clock. We did go through some. 403 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: Of the testimony late in the show yesterday, but we 404 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: have Peter harr Lambas from ABC News, an investigative reporter, 405 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: and he is going to give his perspective on Stormy 406 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: Daniels graphically describing her night in a hotel room with 407 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. You've probably heard some of this, so that's 408 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: an actual recording from that night. That is the sound 409 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: it makes, all right, so here's here's there's a website 410 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 2: called study fines and they collect all the scientific studies 411 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: and I read it frequently. A lot of them seem 412 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 2: to be nonsense. However, this one, I think underestimates was 413 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: going on. According to a recent survey, thirty eight percent 414 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: of Americans have never felt more uninspired at work than 415 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: they do now. Thirty eight percent. And they pulled two 416 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: thousand people with jobs and said that this lack of 417 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: inspiration is directly impacting productivity. Now you want to hear 418 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: this one. You think that's bad? Thirty eight percent, Yes, 419 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 2: I do. There's another thirty eight percent admitted to feeling 420 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: only somewhat inspired and productive. Now we're up to seventy 421 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 2: six percent of the country, wow, either somewhat or uninspired. 422 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: Thirty seven percent of those with a work routine think 423 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: it's stale, and it's a little higher for people who 424 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 2: work in person. Okay, see, because if you work at home, 425 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 2: you don't have to work, so you don't want. 426 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 5: To go outside. Right, You have your cell phone, check 427 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 5: your email, You go. 428 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: On walks, bike rides, take swim, if you have a pool. 429 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 5: You can go have lunch outside. 430 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: Set up a bird feeder, watch the birds come out. 431 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and sixty two percent say that individuals and communities 432 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: surrounding their workspace positively influence their productivity. So maybe a 433 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: lot of people are coming to empty offices and they're 434 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: feeling uninspired because there's nobody to talk to work. 435 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 5: I say, you know, it is a little depressing when 436 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: you come in here on a Friday and not a 437 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 5: whole lot of people are here. 438 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: Now get this, and this is where like everybody's turned 439 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: into toddlers. The survey finds that offices could improve productivity 440 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: if they provided in house activity rooms. 441 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: What would we do in those activity rooms? 442 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: To the Trump and Stormy, I guess. 443 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 4: That would be a human relations kind of catastrophe. 444 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: Well, you don't have a safe zone, walking tracks and 445 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: other ways for employees to take fitness breaks. It's like 446 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 2: everybody wants to have jimberee, don't they. You can't just 447 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: go you could work. I always think my dad going 448 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: to the factory for fifty years. 449 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: You know, he never. 450 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 5: Needs It's a different time, John. 451 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: Yes, people don't want me because I'm uninspired today. 452 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to have a walking break. 453 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 4: Well, I do take walking breaks in between. You know 454 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 4: when the commercials go on just because my legs start hurting. 455 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that, but they want something more formalized. They want 456 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: like a walking track and an activity room. 457 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 5: Imagine that would be fun. 458 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: Imagine I get up in the middle of the show 459 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: and just take a walking break. 460 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 5: We'll see certain jobs you cannot do that. 461 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: But what if I want a walking break. 462 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 5: Well, but you can't, then you need a different job. 463 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: Well, that's not fair. 464 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 2: She can have a walking break because she only does 465 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: something every ten minutes. You are continuously engaged. If you 466 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: take ten minutes to climb stairs or head outside for 467 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: a nature work, that makes you more productive. Standing desks 468 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: make you more productive. Seventy percent.

One third of the respondents said they 475 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: get their most creative ideas in bed. 476 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 5: Well, if they're like me and they're up all night, 477 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 5: the wheels are turning. 478 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 2: In a coffee shop at fourteen percent the gym, So 479 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: people who spend their gay he's drinking coffee, working out 480 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 2: and laying in bed apparently of the most productive if 481 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: given the chance to take more breaks.
