Hello Deborah, Hello John. First 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: thing to get to. We have many things today that 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: are going to be really compelling. The first one I've 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: been waiting to talk about this all day now your kids. 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: My kids are a little older, right, Yes, and they 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: missed a good chunk of the social media revolution. Yes, 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: And that's one of the things I think about from 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: time to time, like all day today, and I am 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: so glad they were born a little too early to 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: have their lives ruined by social media. And finally the 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: US said it hauled in all these sociopathic a holes 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: that run all these social media companies. They have gotten 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: away with this now for twenty years because they bribed 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: the hell out of all the senators and congressman from 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: both parties. I heard it referred to as the power 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: of the lobbyists. When you hear that, the cover story 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: is mister lobbyist comes in and he's in a very 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: expensive suit, and he has an expensive haircut, and he 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: takes senators and congressman to expensive restaurants and they're buy 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: expensive booze and all that is true, But that's not 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: why the senators and the congressmen sell their vote. They 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: sell their vote because they get cash in the form 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: of campaign contributions. I mean, if you're in Los Angeles, 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: you get it in the form of campaign contributions, cash, gambling, 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: trips and hookers. But in Washington it's more about cash 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: to the campaigns. I think, you know, I don't know. 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: I mean, here in La City, I know it's gambling, 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: chips and hookers. That's been established. What the method of 35 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: payment is in Washington. 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: Is more murky. 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: But out of all the weasels that run these social 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: media companies, the biggest weird I mean, this guy is 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: a complete weirdo. To me, I didn't like him from 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: the first day I saw his face. Mark Zuckerberg, the 41 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: company used to be called Facebook. He changed it to Meta. 42 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: He changed to Meta about the time there was a 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: massive leak of documents that showed that Zuckerberg and the 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: rest of the sociopaths at Facebook knew all the harm 45 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: that was being done to children and teenagers, especially teenage girls, 46 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: on Facebook and Instagram. And when all those documents were leaked, 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 2: suddenly Facebook became meta and he blew thirty six billion 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: dollars on the metaverse. I know people worship him as 49 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 2: a genius. I think he's a creepy weirdo. And you 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: have to remember how why he started Facebook. It was 51 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: so that guys in the dorms could rate the looks 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: of college girls. 53 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: That was the purpose. 54 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: And people have now been accessing Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Discord, 55 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: and every creepy guy on the planet has been coming 56 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: on to children, young girls, young boys, selling him fentonyl 57 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: convincing them to send naked pictures of themselves or naked videos, 58 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: which they then use to extort money from the kids. 59 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: It's led to sexual abuse, kidnappings. Let me read to you, 60 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: Dick Durbin, he's an Illinois Senator. Not too many things 61 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: out of his mouth I've ever agreed with, but what 62 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: he said today is right on. And I'm gonna play 63 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: some clips because the senators from both parties just beat 64 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: the stuffing at a Zuckerberg and they should. They had 65 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 2: parents there in the hearing room who lost their kids, kids, 66 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: you know, who were killed. I mean I heard one 67 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: mother talk about her son dying from a fentinel poisoning. 68 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: And all these guys could have stopped it. And I 69 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: don't believe them when they say they couldn't, because if 70 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: you remember, during COVID God forbid, somebody would post a 71 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: statement questioning the vaccine or questioning the origin of the 72 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: COVID virus boom, you could get your you could get 73 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: your account canceled real fast. I know people had that 74 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: happened to them. So if you were doing the government's bidding, 75 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: which they were at the time, remember they had all 76 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: these mechanisms to shut you down. But if you're if 77 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: you're selling fentanyl, or you're grooming children to lead them 78 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: into a sexually abusive situation, you know, I just don't 79 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: know if we've got the capabilities yet. It's so it's 80 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: just so galling. Anyway, it was I tall Dick Durbin, 81 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: Senator from Illinois. He said discord has been used to groom, 82 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: abduct and abuse children. Met his instagram helped connect and 83 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: promote a network of pedophiles. Snapchats disappearing messages have been 84 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: co opted by criminals who financially sextort, sex, tort young victims, 85 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: and snapchat Yeah the evidence disappears because all beauty of 86 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: it was you send a message and then I don't know, 87 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: ten twenty seconds later it evaporates. So what do you 88 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: think every weirdo pedophile did with that technology? Here is 89 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: it's hard to choose which one I want here. Maybe 90 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: I'll play all of them. But let's sen say what 91 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: time do we have here. Let's start with Ted Cruz, 92 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: the Texas Senator going after Zuckerberg Cut two. 93 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: As a team that works to prevent the abuse and 94 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: exploitation of children online. But what was particularly concerning about 95 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal expose was the degree to which 96 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: Instagram's own algorithm was promoting the discoverability of victims for 97 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 3: pedophiles seeking child abuse material. In other words, this material 98 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: wasn't just living on the dark corners of Instagram. Instagram 99 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 3: was helping pedophiles find it by promoting graphic hashtags including 100 00:06:52,800 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: hashtag headhore and hashtag preteen sex to potential by Instagram 101 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: also displayed the following warning screen to individuals who were 102 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: searching for child abuse material. 103 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: These results may. 104 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: Contain images of child sexual abuse. And then you gave 105 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: users two choices, get resources or see results anyway. 106 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Stop stop here? Can you imagine that? 107 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: What do you what do you call a guy who 108 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: promotes pedophilia sex? 109 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: That would be a pimp? Right? 110 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: If you had a guy out in the street who 111 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: was trafficking of young immigrant girls to get them sex partners, 112 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: you'd say that guy's a pimp. But that's that's a felony. 113 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: He should be in prison for twenty years. 114 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Right. 115 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: Do you know how many decisions had to be made 116 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: within Facebook by weirdos Zuckerberg and the weirdo engineers to 117 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: create that particular template. It has to first of all, 118 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: they have to have a program there that identifies the 119 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: sexual content. Then they have to create the software to 120 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: give you the warning on screen. Then somebody had to 121 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: drop a document saying, okay, how are we going to 122 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: deal with this? Well, let's give them a choice. And 123 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: you could hear them talking in the meeting. You know, 124 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: this is about freedom, right. The internet is supposed to 125 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: be unregulated. We have special protections and it's true. These 126 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: these these internet companies back in nineteen ninety six got 127 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: a built passed where they're considered only a carrier of 128 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: information that they're not responsible for the content of the information. 129 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: Kind of like a phone company. Right, If I call 130 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: somebody up and start saying dirty things late at night, 131 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: it's not the phone company's fault, it's my responsibility. 132 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: Right. They took this the same way. 133 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: It's like, oh, we're just carrying these had sexual messages 134 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: about children and all these all these child porn videos. 135 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: So they used it as a shield. So they had 136 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: to have they had to have their little meeting and decide, okay, 137 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: well we'll put up the warning and then this will 138 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 2: give us a legal escape. And then we'll give the 139 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 2: user the choice. You want to continue and see the 140 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: dirty pictures, the dirty child porn pictures, or would you 141 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: like to get resources resources, resources, play you more when 142 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: we come back.

You know why this is Zuckerberg? 230 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 5: Why should your company not be sued for this? Why 231 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 5: is it that you can claim you hide behind a 232 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 5: liability shield, you can't be held accountable? 233 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Shouldn't And did you see what he said? 234 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: But it was still even after apologize, like what He 235 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: didn't mean. They've been hitting him with this charge for many, 236 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: many years, but he was embarrassed. Right, He's on national television, 237 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: He's got the Senator staring at him. God knows what's 238 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: in those bills to disrupt his company.

Invest so much 247 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: money again, Try posting criticism about the vaccine in twenty 248 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: twenty one. They would censor those posts so fast your 249 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: head would spend. Here's Lindsey Graham going after Zuckerberg and 250 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: also the tik tok and x CEOs. 251 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 6: Kevin Son got online the Instagram and was tricked by 252 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 6: a group in Nigeria that put up a young lady 253 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 6: posing to be his girlfriend and as things go at 254 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 6: that stage in life. He gave her some photos, compromising 255 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 6: sexual photos, and it turned out that she was part 256 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 6: of an extortion group in Nigeria. They threatened the young 257 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 6: man that if you don't give us money, we're going 258 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 6: to expose these photos. He gave them money, but it 259 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 6: wasn't enough. They kept threatening and he killed himself. They 260 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 6: threatened mister Guffy and a son. These are bastards by 261 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 6: any known definition. Mister Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us. 262 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 6: I know you don't mean it to be so, but 263 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 6: you have blood on your hands, you. 264 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Have a product. 265 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 6: You have a product does killing people. 266 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: They don't care. When you're a sociopath, you're actually missing. 267 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 2: There's a little piece of your brain that has your 268 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 2: conscience and your ability to feel shame, your ability to 269 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: feel remorse, to feel sorrow, to keep you from doing 270 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: things like this. Zuckerberg that little piece of his brain. 271 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: And they've they've done scans, brain scans, and they've identified 272 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: sociopathic people have a mouthformed section of that brain. It's 273 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 2: not shaped properly, it's too small, or it's oddly aligned. 274 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: Something's wrong with it. And Zuckerberg has something wrong in 275 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 2: his brain. So you could show him these terrible photos 276 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: and give him all the lectures you want and force 277 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: him into these humiliating apologies. His brain doesn't receive the message. 278 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: He goes home tonight. He doesn't care. He'll never care. 279 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 280 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 4: six forty. 281 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: Did somebody declare this National Loneliness Day in San Mateo County?

You have a lot of friends 289 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 7: and family. I want to be lonely, I know, but 290 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 7: loneliness is lonely. I'm trying to get time alone and 291 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 7: I can't. I can't find it. I'm going to go 292 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 7: in there and spend some time with you in the 293 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 7: next break. 294 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 2: I know that's part of it. I don't even get 295 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: peace during the commercial breaks. 296 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 7: Well, there's a difference, right, You have a lot of 297 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 7: activity and families swarming around you. Right if you never yes. 298 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: Good work. 299 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we'll talk about this because apparently Biden elmo 300 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 2: in the San Mateo County is I guess, I guess. 301 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was one of those Facebook 302 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: holidays like National Loneliness Day. All Right, I have spent 303 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: we have spent very little time on the presidential race 304 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: for obvious reasons. Okay, it's nine and a half freaking 305 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: months away, and I can't take hearing anybody talk about it. 306 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: We all know what's happening. I do from time to 307 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: time want to give you an update. So in case 308 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: you're shutting out the world like I am on this matter, 309 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 2: at least you can you'll know what's coming. Because today, 310 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: and this is not the first time, it's just the 311 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: latest example. A Morning Consult, which is a major polling company, 312 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 2: along with Bloomberg News, has released a poll of the 313 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: seven swing states. The way the country is divided now, 314 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 2: there there's a certain number of states you know, that's 315 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: in the bag for Biden, a certain number for Trump, 316 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 2: and then there's seven that could go either way. All right, 317 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: So there's forty three states you could ignore, there's seven 318 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: you pay attention to. So they have state by state 319 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: polling for those seven because that's what matters. National poll 320 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: numbers don't matter. Electoral votes matter. You get electoral votes 321 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 2: by winning states. These are the seven states that are 322 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: in play. Let's start with Arizona. Trump is ahead by three, 323 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 2: Georgia Trump plus eight, Michigan Trump plus five, Nevada Trump 324 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 2: plus eight, North Carolina Trump plus ten, and Wisconsin no, 325 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: Pennsylvania Trump plus three and Wisconsin Trump plus five. So 326 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: that's one, two, three, four, five sixty seven there. But 327 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: here's what's even more interesting. It is very likely that 328 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy Junior is going to be in the race. 329 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: And the story today is it's very possible he will 330 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: be on the libertarian ticket. There's a libertarian party, and 331 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: usually that party gets on nearly all the state ballots 332 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: in the country. Because when you start out as an 333 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: independent or you're connected to a very minor party, there's 334 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: a lot of work to get on ballots. They've rigged 335 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: the system to make it to make it difficult. It's 336 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: time consuming, costs a lot of money, You got to 337 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 2: get a lot of signatures. In some states, it's a 338 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: whole thing. But the Libertarian Party has always made sure 339 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: they had access to nearly all the ballots. There might 340 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: be a couple of exceptions. I don't care enough to look. 341 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 2: And here's the interesting thing. 342 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: Robert F. 343 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior gets enough support in all seven states to 344 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 2: give Trump fairly big margins in nearly all them. I'll 345 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: give you an example. If Robert F. Kennedy runs in 346 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: North Carolina, Trump is at forty five, Biden at thirty two. 347 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: So Trump wins that state by thirteen. He wins Nevada 348 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: by twelve, Arizona by eight, and Georgia by seven, Michigan 349 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: by six, Wisconsin by eight, and Pennsylvania by three. Kennedy 350 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: gets anywhere between seven and twelve percent of the vote. 351 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: And then there's two other minor candidates, Cornell West who's 352 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: a black professor, and Jill Stein who's with the Green Party, 353 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: and they get one to two points total. So Trump 354 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: wins in a blowout. If Robert F. Kennedy Junior is 355 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: on the ballot, if the election was held today, if 356 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 2: Biden is still alive, and if Trump is not in prison, 357 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: or maybe if he is in prison. 358 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. 359 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: If you hear anybody, give you a prediction, they know 360 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 2: what's going to happen, or you hear any idiot give 361 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: you a raw rot while why they're candidate's going to win. 362 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: They're full of crap. They're idiots. There's no way to 363 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: predict what's going to happen here. You just look at 364 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 2: this particular readout here and we will see if Trump 365 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: gets convicted and and if people change their mind. They're 366 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: supposedly polling that says some people will never vote for 367 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 2: him if he gets convicted of anything. 368 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 369 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: People say stuff and then their actions, uh prove differently. 370 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: So that's the uh. 371 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: Now going on to the because we're gonna have Alex 372 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 2: Stone on to talk about san Mateo in in in 373 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: just a few minutes. And then it's I don't know. 374 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: They're trying to fight loneliness. Here's the thing about Biden. 375 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: Apparently Sesame Street Elmo. Does Elmo post himself? 376 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 7: I think he has people for that. 377 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: H does he have I don't remember his he had 378 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: fingers any post? 379 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 7: No? 380 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: No? 381 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: Uh, he did a wellness check in that's what they're 382 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: calling it, asking how is everybody doing? And Biden jumped 383 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: on the post or is it somebody I mean, is 384 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: Biden reading Twitter or it's probably his staff, right, because 385 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 2: probably Biden's on a machine late at night. 386 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 7: Oh, actually, John, he does have some fingers. I take 387 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 7: it back, he. 388 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Does have fingers. So theoretically Elmo could post. 389 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, but he's you know, he's he's a big deal. 390 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 7: So I think he has his people, he has other puppets. 391 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, So here's how what Biden did to follow up 392 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: Elmo's post. I know how how hard it is some 393 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days. 394 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 2: Oh Biden didn't write that. We have to be there 395 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 2: for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need. 396 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: Have you seen my neighbors hear that? And above all else, 397 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 2: ask for help when we need it, even though it's hard. 398 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: You're never alone. Yeah, try going over your neighbor's house 399 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: and say I'm alone. I need some help. They'll call 400 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: the police. 401 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 7: Well, it depends on how you say it. 402 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: Okay, Hi, I need help, I'm lonely. They're gonna pull 403 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: out a gun on you. A lot of people read 404 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: elmos post. It was seen an estimated one hundred and 405 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: forty million times, and there's one news report says it 406 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: underscores a growing mental health crisis across the United States, 407 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 2: a national spike and anxiety and depression with young people 408 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: driving a rise in mental health spending. 409 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Here. You know what, get off the freaking social media. 410 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: Stop staring at a screen, Call your friends up, go 411 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 2: to a bar and get drunk, laugh, have a good time. 412 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: Stop staring at the freaking screen and comparing your looks 413 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: to everybody else's looks. 414 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 7: What if you don't have any friends and your only 415 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 7: friends are your Facebook friends meta friends. 416 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. 417 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: I guess that's the root of it, right, because everybody 418 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 2: has these imaginary friends on Facebook who don't actually care 419 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: about you, because if they cared about you, they'd be 420 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: over your house and you'd be watching a game together, 421 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 2: or having dinner or having a drink or going for 422 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 2: a walk instead of sending stupid messages to each other. 423 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: And it looks like there's overdose, death's depression. Samantha Martin 424 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 2: is executive vice president with the Sesame Workshop, and she's 425 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: surprised how deeply this particular question would resonate. 426 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: So this is what our country is. 427 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: Elmo posts a how you're doing, how you're feeling, message. 428 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: One hundred and forty million people respond, and the lady 429 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: who runs Sesame Street goes, well, this just shows what 430 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: life is like in America today, And Joe Biden is going, oh, 431 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: we are so only go next door and meet your dad. 432 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: What the hell happened to the world?

We're a national wiers. 437 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: I know it's hard to sweep the clouds away and 438 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 2: get the sunni your days. 439 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 7: Well, some people are sad, You're just not one of them. 440 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: No, I don't get sad.

No? Okay, but I have. 446 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 7: But but there have been times in my life that 447 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 7: I've been sad. There are times when I, just like 448 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 7: anybody else, I'm a little depressed for whatever reason. But 449 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 7: then I I snap out of it. 450 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just ignore it. 451 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 2: I'll get depressed or just it's like I can't stand 452 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: the feeling of it, so I just you keep moving. 453 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 7: So maybe that should be your slogan. 454 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 2: Just get just shut up and keep moving. People wallow, 455 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, don't wallow. Normal to have those feelings, 456 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 2: but everyone wallows in it, and they then they start 457 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 2: talking about it and they say there's a movement for him. 458 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: It's go go find something to do. Deborah Mark, you're awful, 459 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: Am I Sometime okay, Deborah Mark. 460 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to be depressed because you said that. 461 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to be sad happy. 462 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I 463 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 4: am sixty. 464 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: We are going to talk at two after two o'clock 465 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: Bob Clifford, Chicago attorney, who is representing families from a 466 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: Boeing flight that crashed in Ethiopia a few years back. 467 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: You remember it was a Max eight jet. They were 468 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: really new at the time. And with there's there's so 469 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: many Boeing problems with the Max jets and and and 470 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: maybe others, and it's been going on for a while. 471 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: There was a rarely comprehensive story. And let's see Ann 472 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: Ran this week and Mickey hairfall out. If I read 473 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: the whole thing on the air, but we'll hit some 474 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 2: of the highlights. Fucked to Bob Glifford about it. We 475 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: got Alex Stone from ABC News and Alex is reporting 476 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: on Well. We were just discussing some of this. San 477 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: Mateo County, which is right next to San Francisco, is 478 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 2: the first county in America to declare a public health 479 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: emergency over loneliness. By coincidence, Alex, I was in San 480 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: Mateo County over the weekend. 481 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: Were you lonely? 482 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 2: I immediately felt an emptiness inside. We had to attend 483 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 2: an event, you know, in San Francisco. We were staying 484 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 2: in San Mateo County and I just felt sad, empty, and. 485 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: You know immediately there is, yeah, a problem then yeah. Yeah. 486 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: It almost sounds like a joke that they want to 487 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: create a Minister of Loneliness and an emergency now. But 488 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 2: what they are saying is it goes back to a 489 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: lot of mental health staff and the pandemic that ever 490 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: since the pandemic, there has been this worry in the 491 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: medical community, but people who are just not connected that 492 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 2: you know, maybe they were withdrawn before the pandemic that 493 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 2: got amplified. Could be the elderly who don't get out 494 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 2: a ton and get human interaction, or younger people who 495 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: might live alone and work from home. Maybe you work 496 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: in an office, but you go home to an empty 497 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: house at night, and then you're lonely. And so almost 498 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: half of US adults say that they are lonely forty 499 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 2: five percent. 500 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: Big enough problem. 501 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: The US Surgeon General has been talking about it. A 502 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: lot of big names have been saying, Hey, this is 503 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: a mental health post pandemic thing that we've got in 504 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 2: the US. The Surgeon General saying this, this is the 505 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: problem that has been building for decades in our country. 506 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: COVID certainly worsened it. It poured fuel on the fire, 507 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: but that fire was burning before. 508 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: And they're scientific proof showing people who are lonely, who 509 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: crave human interaction, but they're not getting it. They have 510 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,479 Speaker 2: higher levels of physical problems, they have more heart attacks, 511 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: they have more dementia, they have more medical problems, they 512 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: have anxiety, they have depression, mental health. So Santa Teo County, 513 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 2: they held this vote, it was unanimous, and that they 514 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: are deciding to claire a public health emergency over loneliness. 515 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: Well are they going to do about it? 516 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: Well, they say they want to put money toward ways. 517 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: One is toward mental health, but also toward ways to 518 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: bring people together, whether it be community events or ways 519 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: to to try to get the community to come out 520 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 2: and they interact and try to recognize those who are 521 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: having issues with this. This is one of the supervisors, 522 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: David Kneppa. He voted for it. He put it this way. 523 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: People are feeling more lonely than ever. 524 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 5: We have to take that seriously, and we have to 525 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 5: we have to lean in. 526 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: So he says, they want to spend money? Did they 527 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: want to? They're urging the governor to create a Minister 528 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 2: of Loneliness, like as Morris said, song, he isn't it ironic? 529 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: Wait a second, don't you think I thought you were joking? 530 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 2: There really is a Minister of low Well, that's what 531 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: they want to create. They want the state to put 532 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: money toward it. The Minister of Loneliness too. I couldn't 533 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: they come up with a different term. I don't know 534 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 2: the director of loneliness. 535 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. You're you're serious that they want to. 536 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: They want this peron to work on ways to get 537 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: people to interact and those who are vulnerable to spend 538 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 2: time with other humans. So they're telling Governor Newsom, as 539 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: part of this emergency, they want to help raise money 540 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 2: to create the Minister of Loneliness, and we want to do. 541 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: Is to build on that. 542 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 6: But we can't build on it if we don't make 543 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 6: the investments. 544 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: And he says the investment is creating an office then 545 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: that deals with loneliness in the community and then they 546 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: feel like they can bring people together. But went for 547 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: this Huh, well, no, we don't know yet what Newsom's 548 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 2: going to do. He hasn't responded to it, but the 549 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: county definitely went forward that one hundred percent. They voted 550 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 2: unanimously for it. And they do say, though, look back 551 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 2: at the pandemic, how often were we worried about our 552 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: kids being out of school and ADHD and anxiety and 553 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: all the other things. The kids have been forced to 554 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: go back and to deal with it and to be 555 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 2: around other kids. If you're a thirty five year old 556 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: dude who's working from a home, and yeah, you don't 557 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: ever have to go out. Some people have just cocooned 558 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: themselves in and that they've got mental health issues, they've 559 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 2: got physical issues. Doctors have been saying that they've been 560 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: seeing it more this one for Andrea's orbits. She's a doctor. 561 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: She says, she's seeing it. 562 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 7: If we're feeling depressed, we often have stomach aches or 563 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 7: body pains, muscle egches, headaches, migraines, I mean, you name it. 564 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: And she says, doctors are definitely seeing that. And that's 565 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: the result of a lot of this. 566 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: So do you think the people in Ukraine worry about 567 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: all this stuff? Maybe? I don't know. 568 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: They've been a little busy over the last couple of 569 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: years ago. 570 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're busy. 571 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 2: You see, when you're busy dodging missiles, you don't have 572 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 2: time to fe pressing at home and playing video games. 573 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 574 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 2: Japan and the UK they've been addressing some of this. 575 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: They've been doing things to try to get people together. 576 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: They say they see it post pandemic as well. But 577 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: apparently a lot of people have just decided that they're 578 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 2: not going out anymore and now they're sitting at home 579 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: and having right health. So we need a government program 580 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 2: and spend you tex day, Minister of lonely. So the 581 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 2: guy next door to me, he doesn't come over my 582 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 2: house and say, hey, you want to hang out watch 583 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: a game?

Your tax money would be going to 586 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 2: pull him out of his house. Yes, yeah, you know 587 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 2: there's actually apps now that they are platonic, and they're 588 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 2: for this to try to get so people can find 589 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 2: others with interest their their platonic.
