1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: The LA Times thinks it's all the left wing wieners 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: that subscribe to that rag are stressed out. They have 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: published five ways to soothe election stress. Yeah, people are 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: on edge. Are jittery is another big words, jittery. Do 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: you know what One of the ways is, pleasure yourself? 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: Plunge your face for a lot of men. Plunge your 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: face into a bowl with ice water for fifteen to 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: thirty seconds. Oh right, right, and take a cold shower. 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Does your face? I guess they think it's going to 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: be a bad night for their readership. Was this for 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: their utility journalist who wrote this again? I was giving 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: advice on the time change New York Times? Oh, they said, 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: the LA Times. No, the New York Times. For if 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: you're suffering election stress. I'm okay. I think you could 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: plunge your face into a bowl of ice water. Yeah. 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Or here's this one. Try five finger breathing. You know 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: what that at Trace the outside of your hand with 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: your pointer finger. When you trace up, breathe then, and 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: when you trace down, breathe out. Well, it's just a 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: series of breathing in and out. This is to deal 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: with the election stress. Breathe like a baby, focus on 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: expanding your belly as you breathe, which can send more 23 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: oxygen to the brain. This shows you how pathetic the 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: country has become because the game of which party wins 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: does have a percentage of the population on edge. Who cares? 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: The New York Times here, because we're circling the bowl 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: we now really just I'm just so stroocused on these 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: silly little side stories and I'm stressed. I'm stressed. You 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: should see the banner here. I'm looking at Elsa Gundo 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: time story well January six, to move voters gas prices 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: versus climate fears, the mid term multiverse. You you know 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: what I noticed because I'm seeing just a torrent of 33 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: exit polled, which can often be wrong. But what I'm 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: seeing is is that progressive voters are interested in all 35 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: these weird boutique issues that most of the public isn't. 36 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: And it's stuff like the fate of democracy, climate change, abortion. Really, 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: very few of us are affected because they're insulated from 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: the day to day problems of trying to make a budget, 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: trying to tend to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck. 40 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: These are often coastal elites in city elites, but they're 41 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: really angry and agitated and fearful about these tiny, little 42 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: sliver issues. And then all they think that the planet 43 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: is doomed and we got to do something because they 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: have time to think about that. Yeah, all right, the 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: planet's doomed and we're gonna stop it. That that makes 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: me laugh to no end. No nobody has stopped anything 47 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: so far. What could be bigger than our own existence? 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Brown cried that out one time, sexistentcl Yeah, years, 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: we're all dead. Well, here's a couple of things which 50 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: I thought were some nuggets. Republicans only need to pick 51 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: up five seats to get a majority in the House. 52 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: That seems all but a done deal. In all but 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: three midterm elections since the start of the Civil War, 54 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: the president's party has lost seats. The average over the 55 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: last century is twenty eight. So that tells you what 56 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: we're in for tonight. The fight for the Senate less certain. 57 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: The party in the White House has lost Senate seats 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen to twenty six mid terms since the direct 59 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: election of senators began in the year nineteen fourteen. Did 60 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: you not know that that was the first time we 61 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: directly elected US senators nineteen fourteen years. Yeah, they appointed 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: before the year. I believe they were appointed. Yes, I 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: didn't know that. The average loss over the last century 64 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: is four Senate seats. Well, in the eighteen hundreds, we 65 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: only had like half of democracy. We'd only vote for 66 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: some things not others, and a lot of people couldn't vote. 67 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: Women didn't vote till nineteen twenty. Obviously blacks weren't allowed 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: to vote, so basically it was white guys, and even 69 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: they weren't entirely trusted like they weren't. You couldn't vote 70 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: for Senate, right, the one glitched that turned up this morning, 71 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: and of course it got way too much attention, and 72 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: I have to say, particularly from the right wing crazies, 73 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: there was some sort of a problem in Maricopa County, Arizona. Arizona, 74 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: of course, is one of those states where there seems 75 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: to be some close elections going on governor Senate, and 76 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: there was some problem with the printer paper. It appears 77 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: some of the printers were not producing dark enough timing 78 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: marks on the ballots. They sent out some technicians and 79 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: they do believe they cured the problem. It's a huge 80 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: headline this morning, like here we go they're still in 81 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: the election already. Sure problems in Arizona, I read, I 82 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: really the madness is killing me. And on the other side, 83 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: it's they're going to try to suppress your vote. Men 84 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: with guns will come and why to deter you from 85 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: going to a vallid place. Well that was supposed to 86 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 1: be George, you remember, and that was a totally fake 87 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: hoax of the story. In fact, the turnout is so 88 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: high in Georgia polling stations and at six different locations 89 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: were ordered by a judge to stay open late because 90 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: they've got such a long wine and they had a 91 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: huge nail in voter ridden, a huge Mount George is 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: one of those places. What they didn't they lose the 93 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: All Star Game because they changed the voting to suppress votes, 94 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: particularly from people of color. Their jackass commissioner movies. Isn't 95 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: that that Stacy Abram's big issue? Exactly totally false, totally wrong. 96 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: The turnout is so big they never imagine it could 97 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: be this high, and that she should win because that's 98 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: what she thinks we need to do is get more 99 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: turned out. She's getting plastered. Oh is she? Yeah, she is. 100 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: She's gonna lose big, is that what they're saying on it. Yeah. Yeah, 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: now herschel Walker are gonna win, and maybe that's exactly. Yeah, 102 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: his daddy life was exciting, wasn't it. I don't know 103 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,119 Speaker 1: how many more women can come forward? That guy getting moving. 104 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: I just hey, you're right, here's an exit pole. Two 105 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: thirds of voters don't want Biden to run in twenty 106 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: twenty four. When we learned last hour, fifty seven percent 107 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: think he doesn't have the right to losing it, does 108 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: not have the mental faculties to be president. That's an 109 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: astounding number. I mean, I mean fifty seven percent. So 110 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: it was an ABC CBS News exit survey. Thirty seven 111 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: percent had a favorable view of Trump, sixty percent viewing 112 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: him unfavorably. Yeah, forty three percent Biden favorably, fifty four 113 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: percent unfavorably. Like I said a couple weeks ago, the 114 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: poll said they didn't want either one of these two 115 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: to be around in twenty twenty four. Yeah, but I 116 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: think that's what we're headed for. I just tell because 117 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: because because both if they ran, both would have a 118 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: majority in their own party to give them the nomination, 119 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: but they would have few independents. Maybe they lose half 120 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: of their own party and certainly nothing from the opposing party. 121 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: But it's enough to if you can get half of 122 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: your own party, you got enough for the nomination. A 123 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: lot of people do vote in the primaries, not even 124 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: have because Trump is running against so many candidates. He uh, 125 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, in a lot of primary states he would 126 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: only get thirty or forty percent of the vote. But 127 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: it was winner takeoff for the for the delegates. But 128 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: I remember reading he got less than half of the 129 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: votes to be the Republican candidate. It's a weird system 130 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: we have now. Tonight, of course locally, be watching to 131 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: see who wins the Los Angeles mayor's race, considered close 132 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: if you believe any of the polls. It looks like 133 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: they're setting up after five o'clock to let the press 134 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: in at the grove for Rick Caruso's celebration or election night. 135 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: We may not find out the results of that race 136 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: though for days or weeks. You might be surprised to 137 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: learn John that we're in bass tonight will be at 138 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: the Church of Scientology with her partner. I'm kidding it, Yes, 139 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: I would be surprised, or maybe not. All right, we 140 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: got more covey up. When we return, you'll have a 141 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: chance that some money. That's right. Maybe it didn't win 142 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: the powerball, but you can still win a thousand dollars 143 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: with the keyword Johnny ken KF I AM six forty 144 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeart Radio Act. The polls have 145 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: closed in Georgia, but apparently the Senate race there between 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Herschel Walker and Ralph Warnock too close to call. But 147 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: this nugget. Republicans have won a House delicate election in 148 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: Guam for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Okay, 149 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: that's a sign. When you've lost Guam for the first 150 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: time in thirty years, something's afoot. Big changes are a covey. 151 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: That's right. Even in Guam. They're fed up with everything, 152 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: all right, So we'll give you a rundown at five 153 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: o'clock on any results of commended matter. California. Results, of course, 154 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: won't be known for days or weeks. Perhaps some of 155 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: the propositions maybe, yeah, But I think at eight o 156 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: one Gavin Newsom has declared reelected. It is my prison. 157 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: By the turn of the year, I think, right. I 158 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: think by New Year's Day we'll find out the winner. 159 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: Mayor would be Uh, here's a couple of updates on 160 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: the power Ball. You may have heard by now that 161 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: the two point zero four billion dollar winner. So it 162 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: went a little bit over two billion in the final tally. 163 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: What would that be? Two billion, four hundred thousand, yes, okay, 164 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: not four hundred million, No, it would be two point 165 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: t The anchor stay saying two point four billion, and 166 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: that was wrong. Two point zero four right, right right. 167 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: The identity of the ticket holder will have to be shared. California, 168 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: like most states, does require the winner's full name and 169 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: the name and location the business had sold the ticket 170 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: has to be disclosed. In fact, there's only eleven states 171 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: which allows you to stay private. I'd go to court 172 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: states and change my name today. I certainly wouldn't appear 173 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: for a long time. You have a year before we 174 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: have to claim the product. I mean, I have read 175 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: so many take your time, especially with athletes unless you 176 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: have a terminal illness. I've read so many interviews with 177 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: athletes who got the big contract and they you know, 178 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: they came from really poor neighborhoods, and it's like all 179 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the friends and relatives they all want a piece and 180 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: they just bug you and bug you, and you can't 181 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: go back home. You can't talk to your old friends anymore. 182 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: You can't even talk to family members because you don't 183 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: want to give them the money. Or you'll give them 184 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: a little bit like a one time payment, but of 185 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: course they'd blow it in five minutes and they want 186 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: some more. If you had a family member that want 187 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: a billion, would you go begging for money? No? Neither 188 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: would I. I don't really understand. But we're not probably typical. No, 189 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: we're not, because we've worked all our lives since we 190 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: were teenagers. But for the lay about crowd or for 191 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: the people who have terrible jobs, they can't stand somebody 192 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: else wins in the family. It's like, hey, I want 193 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: a piece. You can afford to give me ten million, 194 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: And it's like, I can't imagine how irritating that is, 195 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: because they'll never go away, and if you don't give 196 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: them the money, they hate you forever. But you'll always 197 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: have to give them money because they think you forgot 198 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: your roots, you forgot where you came from. I've read 199 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: that so many times, mostly with athletes, and I'm thinking 200 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: it's got to be with lottery people too. The same thing, 201 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: the lump sum is nine hundred and ninety seven point 202 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: six million. So you think about that, it's a two 203 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: billion dollar prize getting shaved down to a lump sum 204 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: of nine ninety seven point six because the annuity pays 205 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: out over twenty nine years, so they have to discount 206 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: that two billion dollars back to present value. Then that's 207 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: why it's nine. Now, the IRS takes twenty four percent 208 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: right off the top. That's the withholding off the nine 209 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: hundred ninety seven that is correct. They'll take a quarter 210 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: of that right away holding tax. That's about two fifty 211 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: So you're left with seven hundred and forty something million, 212 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: seven fifty eight fifty eight. California does not tax lottery winnings, 213 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: so whoever this is does not have to pay anything 214 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: to the state of California. A lister tipped us off 215 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: that that was in a ballot measure years ago. Tickets 216 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: can be purchased by someone out of state, but if 217 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: they live in California, they won't be faced with state 218 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: or local tax withholdings. But I guess if they are 219 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: an out of state or that does tax lottery winnings, 220 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: oh well they're gonna have to. Now that the jackpot 221 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: was one point nine eight billion, but it grouted two 222 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: point o five by the time of the drawing because 223 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: it was such a frenzy to buy tickets at the 224 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: last minute. Forty one rounds without a winner. Huh, that's 225 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: what it was. You're right, I don't know about that. 226 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Can you imagine forty one contest 227 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: on her own? There's no winner and people are still 228 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: giving money to this. I was forty consecutive Powerball drawings 229 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: out of winner since August third. Wow. The previous largest 230 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: powerball was one point five as five eight six billion 231 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: and was shared between three ticket holders in twenty sixteen. 232 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: But this is a sole winner somewhere in the area 233 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: of Altadena. One winner. That person what is that person 234 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: doing hiding? Do they know yet? Well? Because also you're 235 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: a kidnapped target. Yeah you are. Now you got to 236 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: you gotta live with security. Well you go dark so quickly, now, 237 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: you know what? I know? Somebody who never mark is 238 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: thinking about all the wonderful things you could spend the 239 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: money for charity and saving the world. John Colbelt like 240 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: he got kicked out. I saw this though, because I 241 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: knew somebody. I'm not gonna say who who was relatively 242 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: well in life, and then some stock thing came through right, 243 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: and they really ended up with an extraordinary amount of money, 244 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: and suddenly felt that everybody in the family were targets. 245 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you got threats or what. And 246 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: the kids were surrounded by security guards all the time, 247 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: going to school, coming home from school. You know, if 248 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: there was a class trip where they had a camping overnight, 249 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: security guard would be out in the woods with him 250 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, like a secret service agent trying to 251 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: stay awake. That stuff really messes with normal life. And 252 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: then you get famous and nobody leaves you alone. You 253 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: get famous, you can't go out to a restaurant, right. 254 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's say this guy's used to go into Applebee's just 255 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: wants to get the kind of stakes they serve at Applepie's, 256 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: probably like a flank steak. Can't do that anymore. People 257 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: are gonna come up and mock you, saying, well, got 258 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: that tough piece of beef four You should be over 259 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: at Ruth's. Chris should be having a prime ribby or something. 260 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: You can't eat flank steak anymore. You're better off going 261 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: and buying an island somewhere and disappearing.

People got washed away. 284 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: It's what happens when you decide that people can camp 285 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: any where they want because you know there's no homes 286 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: for them, so you know, they get to go into 287 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: your parks.

But they've 300 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: been doing things in Sacramento that I think they're good. Well, 301 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: one did get undone by a judge. That's the one 302 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: where they determined exactly the makeup of corporate boards. Right, 303 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: Remember that they tried to, yes, dictate that was a woke, 304 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: wet dream to determine how many women are supposed to 305 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: be on the board and how many man arties are 306 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: supposed to be on the board. That kind of stuff. 307 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Well they have also they may run into a wall again. 308 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: A cool of doctors is sewing dipity do his administration, 309 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: he signed a state law that empowers the Medical Board 310 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: of California to discipline physicians who espouse opinions about COVID 311 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: nineteen that are not in line with what is considered 312 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: to be the mainstream contemporary scientific consensus. Contemporary and how 313 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: many things were they wrong on when it came to 314 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: COVID and the vaccine and all that. At any point, 315 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: whatever the consensus was, whatever the CDC said, everybody was 316 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: supposed to salute and believe it and repeat it. And 317 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: if you deviated, what now you'd get your medical license 318 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: taken away? Yeah? What if you were right? Whatever turns 319 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: out you were right. Two years later. I was looking 320 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: stuff up today when I saw this story. Do you 321 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: know there was at one point somebody looked at thousands 322 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: of medical studies and found that fully ten percent of 323 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: them were versed on old study ten and with the 324 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: COVID it's been more than ten percent. There of their 325 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: early beliefs turned out to be false. So you can't 326 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: do that. You're gonna you're gonna put You're gonna squash 327 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: freedom of speech among doctors. Seriously, that's illegal, unconstitutional. That's 328 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: mister dictator here. Look, you give what you have, one 329 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: party rule, full emergency powers to a governor. What's the 330 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: first thing they do? They decide what doctors are gonna say. 331 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you have to say what we think, and 332 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: if you don't, we take away your medical license. That 333 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: they call it the increasing censorious mentality in censorship, censorious 334 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: that has gripped lawmakers in this country. That's the line 335 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: of one of the lawyers for this new Civil Liberties Alliance, 336 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: which is representing the doctors in this lawsuit. It's set 337 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: to take effect this law on January first, twenty twenty three, 338 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: and allow the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic 339 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: Medical Board of California to discipline doctors who disseminate information 340 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: about COVID that departs from, again, the contemporary scientific consensus, 341 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: which seems like a very broad description of what that is. Well, 342 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: how do you define that? And what happens when they're wrong? 343 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: And they often are, And who's going to lodge the complaint? 344 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 1: It would only be a doctor in a patient talking. 345 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: Would a patient say, oh, this guy's a nutball, I'm 346 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: going to complain about them. Maybe I don't know. Some 347 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: doctors went public with their beliefs. They did, but they did. 348 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: And there were some doctors that just don't believe in 349 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: any vaccines. We know that then go to another doctor. 350 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: There was all kinds of claims that they were wrong about. 351 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: Remember when they said that you have to wow, this 352 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: is what affected ever so terribly. That you could get 353 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: the you can get COVID from touching services. Well, no 354 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: you can't. I also don't like touching things. I've told 355 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: you this. People they sneeze and then they wipe their nose, 356 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: and then they touch a door handle or they touch 357 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: the elevator buttons, and so I just people are just 358 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: itchy right, yeah, yeah, those ikey gross people. Yes, the 359 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: only phobia I have along those lines. And it is 360 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: always consistent. If I am using the men throom and 361 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: I am finished at the urinola, guy comes out of 362 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: the toilet, I will not touch the door. After he's touched, 363 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: I will knock, not the toilet. Oh, I beat them out, 364 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: I run. I mean even if they wash, I'm not 365 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: touching the door handle. I'll take a paper towel or something. 366 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: Who's my foot? Oh yeah, absolutely, Well, the feces things 367 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: just unnerves me. Bookers is bad, but feces unnerves me. 368 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: I guess you're not. You're not taking a metro ride later? 369 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: Oh did you watch the videos? I did? You saw 370 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: the Dane? Yes, I did the diarrhea on the floor. 371 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: But John's talking about is a video that a guy 372 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: took in Santa Monica of a Metro train that had 373 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: to be evacuated because somebody took a poop on the floor. Yep, 374 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: this is the world we live in. And it was 375 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: on the seat too. And did you see the riff 376 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: raff as the metro security guy telling people you gotta 377 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: get off. There's a guy. One guy looked like he 378 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: was asleep. Yeah, well it was old bums. There was 379 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of yeah. Yeah, it was like one guy 380 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: had a huge blue bag of soda and beer cans 381 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: I guess for recycling. And there was another guy with 382 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: a piece of luggage, but I don't think he was 383 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: traveling anywhere. I know. I mean there were so many bums, 384 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: so many weirdos. And then the guy who had a 385 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: huge diarrhea blast. Yeah, there was a couple of puddles 386 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: on the floor calling a sanitation team. Yeah, it's now 387 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: considered like a hazmat problem. So that Scarcetti's Metro service. 388 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: They had to evacuate the train. I who diarrhea Express 389 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: get to Santa Monica in minutes. That that was that. Oh, 390 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: that was a really frightening crowd of people that we're 391 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: sitting there. And what time it? Oh it said nine am. 392 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: It was nine solo on one of the walls. Yeah. 393 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: I watched like half the video nine in the morning. 394 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the stink and that in that star 395 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: never never Never Metro More? Coming up, John and Ken 396 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: caf I am six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. 397 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: Now look at another Fox News National poll seventy five 398 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: percent angry or dissatisfied with government, seventy five percent rebellion 399 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: in the air. Then they showed a map of the states, 400 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: color coded as to how deep that dissatisfaction is. Guess 401 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: which state had like the lightest color, really, California, Yep, 402 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: not a lot of dissatisfaction out here. We're very happy 403 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: with our guys. We've got the worst conditions and the 404 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: least amount of dissatisfaction. Well, yeah, you call it bad conditions, 405 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: but apparently a lot of those people don't think so. 406 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand. Really what's wrong? Did someone 407 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: cast an evil spell on everyone in the state. Like 408 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: I've said many times, people out here are just used 409 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: to this homelessness, crime, They don't care high tax And 410 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't that way not that long ago. Because the 411 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: other people left, people that got fed up with all 412 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: that left. Your friend that went to Oklahomas that were yeah, wow, 413 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: that's amazing. Every people are most satisfied here than in 414 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: any other state, which makes sense since we're going to 415 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: be the only one not participating in a light colored states. 416 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: There weren't too many of them, but you know, because 417 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: the dark and the red color was a more dissatisfaction. 418 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: In California was like white. Wow, that is stunning to me. 419 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: We've well, another election, which is historic, is already in dispute. 420 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: It's the strippers at a topless dive bar in North 421 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: Hollywood who are trying to unionize. We did the story 422 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: a few months ago. The National Labor Relations Board said 423 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: that a majority of the ballots are being challenged by 424 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: the club that employs the strippers, Star Garden. Yeah, so 425 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: this is going to delay the certification of the results, 426 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: whatever they are. Eric asked Bray if he's been there, 427 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: Star Garden in North not far from us. No, this 428 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: would be a short drive. He says no, He says no. 429 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: It's the Actors Equity Association they're trying to join. It 430 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: represents actors and stage managers on Broadway and at venues 431 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: such as the Hollywood pantages. So the strippers considered themselves 432 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: in line that that type of performance art. I guess yeah. 433 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: The Times called them historically marginalized workers. Strips. They are 434 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: historically marginal marginalized. All people don't think well of strippers, 435 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: So the company or the bar that employs them as challenging. 436 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: Sixteen ballots, claiming that they don't work for the company anymore. 437 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: So that's and I guess there's not that many people 438 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: that do because they're challenging sixteen ballots. Maybe there's only 439 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: thirty strippers there are they work for this club. The 440 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: National Labor Relations Board got involved in a strippers dispute 441 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: in North Hollywood where strippers union vote, where sixteen ballots 442 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: are in dispute, They there are your tax dollars at work. Huh. 443 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: They could order a hearing to determine the eligibility of 444 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: the sixteen people who cast the challenge ballots to vote 445 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: in the election. An attorney representing Star gardens that the 446 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: club argues the dancers who's bit of ballots were not 447 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: employed by the business and thus see somebody tried to 448 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: stuff the vote. Man or maybe they used to work 449 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: for Star Guard, but that doesn't entitle them to a 450 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: vote either. There is a dance, so they're claiming they 451 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: were never employees. Okay, there's a dancer who goes by 452 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: the name of Velvita, like the Cheese, Like the cheese. 453 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: She says, there's a history of strip club owners wanting 454 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: to erase our dignity, wanting to erase our existence. That's 455 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: the new term among progressives. By the way, if you 456 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: don't existing, if you don't acknowledge their grievances, you're trying 457 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: to erase them. Oh, i'd not heard I canceled. We've 458 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: race is another word cancel? Yes, then you get a race. 459 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: She says, we know how we voted. This is a 460 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: win period, so wow how the vote came out. But 461 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: the club is contesting that. Well, actually what they're contesting 462 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: is that these people never work for us, since we 463 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: took over the club in October of twenty twenty one, 464 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: so that's that's just barely a year ago. But I 465 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: think if you're voting to join the union, you have 466 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: to be a current employee. You know what, I think 467 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: here's a breaking news for strippers. As much as some 468 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: appreciate your performance, you're always going to be marginalized and 469 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: maybe erased. What shocks me in this story is they're 470 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: still called strippers. You think that word would have been 471 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: exotic dancers. They are exotic dancers is another that's a 472 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: better term, right, better? Well, I mean it's an accurate term. 473 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: Exotic dancers, no strippers. It's what they're doing. Sometimes they 474 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: do yeah, I guess I don't know. Ask Gray, well, 475 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: he's never gone there. The dancers submitted a petition alleging 476 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: that management had failed to take basic steps to protect 477 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: their safety and privacy. So the issue here isn't money 478 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: fifteen to the club's twenty three dance for his ray 479 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: safety concerns. It's the god banding better working well, it's 480 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: the guys groping him, pawing him and trying to get 481 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: but hasn't been going on since the dawn of time. 482 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: A lot of guys think that's what the strippers purposes. 483 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: It's not. I guess the girls don't think. So there's 484 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: there's a dispute here with their job description entails. They 485 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: want to enforce policies to prevent customers from filming and 486 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: photographing dancers and lingering after closing time, probably leering and yeah, 487 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: and you're probably sitting at home thinking, well, of course 488 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: that that's what goes on his strip clubs. Yes, exactly, 489 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of lingering. There's lingering and leering and 490 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: wanting photographing. Short, they want the club to stop over 491 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: serving customers who, they say it belligerent when drinking heavily. Sure, 492 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: they have filed seven unfair labor practice allegations against the club. 493 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: I think another line of work is in order. The 494 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: response from the club's lawyer is, this is just a small, 495 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: family run business. Sounds funny. A family runs strip club. 496 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: There's always sought to do right by its employees and customers. 497 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: We adhere to all rules and loss. So yeah, they 498 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: filed a petition back in August seeking a union election. 499 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: They'd be the first strip club employees to unionize since 500 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: apparently nineteen ninety six, that's what you're saying. Curious how 501 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: much money is strip club takes in for a ten 502 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: month period beginning last year in October, Star Garden had 503 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: about half a million until revenue. Right, So it's good 504 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: money because usually there's just a few employees, is that most? 505 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: Even just the drinks? You know you paid to get in? Well, 506 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: I haven't gone to one in thirty five years, but 507 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: from what I remember, yeah, the drinks are expensive, their 508 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: watered down own, and there might be a cover charge 509 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: to get in. There might be, okay, I don't know 510 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: how it works exactly. The Actor's Equity has previously said 511 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: the unions looking into representing other workers, such as actors 512 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: who assist in medical trainer, performers of corporate events, and improv. 513 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's everybody wanting to elevate themselves 514 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: beyond their real status in life. In a story like 515 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: this last week with baristas in Colorado, right, oh yeah, 516 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: they you know they wanted to raise their pay. Yeah yeah, 517 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: the coffee shop, local coffee shop raised at the fifty 518 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year for a barista, which is just 519 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: somebody who pours coffee. I had to I looked this 520 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: up the other day. It's like, where did this stupid 521 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: term come from? Like, I lived half my life I 522 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: ever heard of a barista. And then when Starbucks took off, 523 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: that sudden beginning, and it's just an Italian term for 524 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: somebody who pours coffee and makes Italian Italian. So that 525 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: makes it cooler, right, instead of a coffee mixer or 526 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: a coffee poies. And you know, that's a low level 527 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: job that requires no particular skill, it doesn't pay much 528 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. Probably anybody can be trained to do 529 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: it well. The brace does feel oppressed and marginalized, so 530 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: they made demands and finally you got the right idiot progressive. 531 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: This is my progressive shouldn't own businesses because this guy thought, well, 532 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: you know what, end the oppression and the marginalization. We're 533 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: going to give fifty thousand dollars a year to all 534 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: the braces. Doess next thing, you know, coffee shop is history, closed, dead, 535 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: out of business. Nobody's got any job, nobody's making anybody. Yeah, 536 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: coffee shop owners bankrupt. All right. When we come back, 537 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: of course, it's five o'clock. Polls are closing in places 538 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: like Pennsylvania where there's a close and interesting Senate race. 539 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about whatever we can learn from that. We'll 540 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: play some audio. Joe Biden was out there in the 541 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: campaign trail one final time over the weekend and yesterday, 542 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: and there's a couple of funnies Johnny ken K I 543 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and 544 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: debramark Lyde in the twenty four hour Calfe Newsroom
