Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
0:04
Speaker 1: six forty.
0:12
Speaker 2: That seems a little aggressive. It's the wrong story.
0:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, that's what I thought. It seemed a little
0:18
Speaker 3: uh on the eight o'clock Okay, all right, Kno, it's
0:24
Speaker 3: about kay buddy. They're allowed KFI AM six forty live
0:28
Speaker 3: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy Thursday morning to you.
0:31
Speaker 3: Neil Savader in the morning crew here, Heather Brooker in
0:33
Speaker 3: for Amy King, Will Cole Schreiver is here and is here.
0:38
Speaker 3: Handle has had massive technical and I'm going to write
0:42
Speaker 3: him off at this point. I'm guessing he's napping. That's
0:46
Speaker 3: gonna be my guess at this point is he's napping.
0:49
Speaker 3: But we have a lot to get to, so let's
0:50
Speaker 3: jump right into it, shall we go. If you're if
0:54
Speaker 3: you're getting your health insurance like most of us do,
0:56
Speaker 3: I do, uh from work through your work, You got
1:00
Speaker 3: to brace yourself, especially coming up in twenty twenty seven.
1:03
Speaker 3: Experts are saying that any employer health insurance premiums that
1:09
Speaker 3: you are used to are gonna jump by about nine
1:12
Speaker 3: percent in twenty twenty seven. Now keep in mind this
1:16
Speaker 3: is the largest jump in sixteen years. So that's going
1:22
Speaker 3: to push the average cost of family coverage. This number
1:26
Speaker 3: is gonna blow your mind right here in California to
1:29
Speaker 3: more than thirty thousand dollars three zero zero zero zero
1:35
Speaker 3: a year. So about the price of a brand new
1:39
Speaker 3: compact car. And when you think about your health, I mean,
1:44
Speaker 3: it's more important, and your family's health more important than
1:47
Speaker 3: a car. But it's crazy to think that we are
1:51
Speaker 3: getting to I have a lot of thoughts on issues
1:55
Speaker 3: with insurance, but this new survey, by the way, comes
1:59
Speaker 3: from Price our House. They says say that at this point,
2:03
Speaker 3: insurance companies expect hospitals, doctors, prescription drugs, which we already
2:10
Speaker 3: have a problem with, to cost much more this next year. Now,
2:14
Speaker 3: those higher medical costs are being passed through the higher
2:19
Speaker 3: insurance premiums. That's how it works. Many workers are going
2:23
Speaker 3: to end up paying part of that bill. That's just
2:26
Speaker 3: how it's going to happen. It's going to get too
2:28
Speaker 3: big for companies. They're going to have to pass it
2:31
Speaker 3: on to you. You're going to have to take a
2:33
Speaker 3: part of that. And we're already seeing I mean, listen,
2:36
Speaker 3: I'm happy to have insurance, but I will tell you
2:40
Speaker 3: being with this company for thirty years, being with the
2:42
Speaker 3: station for thirty years and going through multiple companies. Our
2:45
Speaker 3: insurance is not what it used to be. God bless
2:48
Speaker 3: them forgiving it to us. I'll take it, but it's
2:51
Speaker 3: not what it used to be. So the impact is
2:54
Speaker 3: going to go far beyond just your monthly insurance deduction.
2:57
Speaker 3: You've got healthcare finance experts raising premiums are going to
3:01
Speaker 3: leave employees with less money for raises. You can't escape
3:08
Speaker 3: this stuff once it gets into the system. The system
3:12
Speaker 3: being your workplace insurance. That's another cost they're thinking about
3:16
Speaker 3: with that, your raises are going to go the way
3:21
Speaker 3: of the Dodo bird. Not to mention that there are
3:23
Speaker 3: going to be people are going to be hired at
3:26
Speaker 3: less rates or it's going to eat into their income
3:29
Speaker 3: in one way or another. That means a lot of
3:31
Speaker 3: workers are essentially taking a hidden pay cut. And these
3:35
Speaker 3: it's like the hidden fees, they're really taxes that we
3:40
Speaker 3: get here in California all the time. We're going to
3:43
Speaker 3: keep getting it taken out of our pockets. You can
3:46
Speaker 3: also drive up the cost of goods and services as
3:48
Speaker 3: businesses are going to try and recover that. So not
3:52
Speaker 3: are we going to only take it in the shorts
3:54
Speaker 3: when it comes to paying for the insurance itself higher deductibles,
4:00
Speaker 3: Let's say then we're also going to take it in
4:02
Speaker 3: the shorts because we're not going to get raises as frequently.
4:07
Speaker 3: If you still get those these days, and then you're
4:11
Speaker 3: the business that you work for is going to be
4:13
Speaker 3: charging the customer. Now you're going to get charged as
4:16
Speaker 3: a customer as well. So as an employee, you're going
4:18
Speaker 3: to get hit multiple times. And then as just a
4:23
Speaker 3: human being working in California, you're going to get nailed
4:27
Speaker 3: when you go to the grocer or anybody else who
4:29
Speaker 3: has to pay those high prices as well, and they're
4:31
Speaker 3: going to take it out of your shorts as well.
4:33
Speaker 3: So at booksmith it's an independent bookstore in San Francisco.
4:37
Speaker 3: By the way, health insurance premiums jumped seventeen percent just
4:42
Speaker 3: this year, so the store now pays thirty two hundred
4:47
Speaker 3: and change a month to ensure just for employees. You
4:53
Speaker 3: best believe that's going to get passed along to you. Now,
4:56
Speaker 3: when everybody complains about medicine here in the United States,
5:02
Speaker 3: we don't have a medical problem. We have great medical services.
5:07
Speaker 3: We have an insurance problem. The strange thing about insurance
5:11
Speaker 3: the two sources of socialized the use of socialized monies
5:17
Speaker 3: in the United States. Insurance it's a Ponzi scheme, we
5:23
Speaker 3: kind of all paying for each other, and social Security,
5:28
Speaker 3: And the two biggest problems we're having.
5:31
Speaker 2: Are the fact that we're told every year that.
5:33
Speaker 3: Social Security is going to go away, because again it's
5:36
Speaker 3: a Ponzi scheme. It's the hope that people die early
5:39
Speaker 3: enough so that we can all make money from it,
5:43
Speaker 3: and then they put it into the system try and
5:45
Speaker 3: make more money. And insurance, whether you want to believe
5:49
Speaker 3: it or not, is socialized pay. We all pay into
5:54
Speaker 3: the group. The insurance company takes it all, it pays
5:57
Speaker 3: out hoping that other people aren't going to need it,
5:59
Speaker 3: so the people that don't need it don't use it,
6:01
Speaker 3: and the people that do need it get to use it.
6:03
Speaker 3: And so I have a hard time believing that just
6:07
Speaker 3: socialized medicine is going to solve this problem because of
6:11
Speaker 3: the system is broken. I wish it would. I wish
6:15
Speaker 3: it would. I don't think it will. I think we
6:18
Speaker 3: have a growing We have been sucking off the teat
6:23
Speaker 3: of insurance for so long and the prices continue to
6:28
Speaker 3: go up for a band aid. When you break down
6:31
Speaker 3: how much it costs to go into the hospital these days,
6:34
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. It keeps going up, not just because the
6:38
Speaker 3: prices are going up, and they are. They're going up
6:40
Speaker 3: for the GLP one weight loss drugs like ozepic goov
6:44
Speaker 3: jumped eighty one percent last year. A month's supply of
6:47
Speaker 3: those medications typically list for more than one thousand dollars.
6:52
Speaker 3: Got eleven percent of American adults now taking them for
6:55
Speaker 3: weight loss, which is a great thing that's going to
6:57
Speaker 3: help with other things, but a lot of costs with
7:05
Speaker 3: medical all these different things that we again tap into.
7:09
Speaker 3: Socialized monies are having a problem. They're breaking down, and
7:14
Speaker 3: the costs are going up, and they're going to try
7:16
Speaker 3: and squeeze for more. There has to be a break
7:19
Speaker 3: and a better structure than what we're doing, because just
7:23
Speaker 3: keep adding moneies to it is going to be eating
7:26
Speaker 3: and depleting the entirety of your income and breaking the
7:30
Speaker 3: system of goods and services. Neil Sevader in the Morning Crew,
7:35
Speaker 3: hanging out with you. Amy is out. We have Heather
7:39
Speaker 3: Brooker with us today. Handle was having technical problems. I
7:43
Speaker 3: think he's probably thrown up the flag and gone back to.
7:46
Speaker 2: Sleep, is my guests.
7:48
Speaker 3: But I'm happy to be here with you and with Heather,
7:52
Speaker 3: and thank you for the kind words. Apparently, Heather, you
7:56
Speaker 3: and I make a good team. We do.
7:59
Speaker 4: I love that those nice talkbacks.
8:02
Speaker 3: I think you're a wonderful human being and I love
8:06
Speaker 3: working with you.
8:06
Speaker 2: And I am not I am.
8:08
Speaker 3: I don't need to have high tea or low tee
8:11
Speaker 3: to say that out loud.
8:12
Speaker 5: Oh, you just have just right tea.
8:16
Speaker 4: Your tea is perfect, three hours.
8:24
Speaker 3: Just the right amount of testostero. Okay, the goldilocks of hormones.
8:28
Speaker 6: Over here, we're like.
8:30
Speaker 3: You know, the uh you log onto the computers here
8:33
Speaker 3: at the station and you get I don't know if
8:37
Speaker 3: it still does this anymore, but you used to get
8:39
Speaker 3: this thing that would tell you, hey, anything you type
8:41
Speaker 3: on here or anything you do on these computers gets
8:45
Speaker 3: tracked and everybody goes, eh, Okay, that that you know
8:49
Speaker 3: goes to their only fans or whatever. Still Cono doesn't care,
8:53
Speaker 3: and he likes the one with all the heavy set latinos.
8:57
Speaker 2: What's that one only flonds? Yeah, that one, you're that one?
9:05
Speaker 3: So uh, you know, we all kind of realize, who's
9:09
Speaker 3: you know, they got someone sitting there? Well, I guess
9:11
Speaker 3: they got people going through our trash now to see
9:13
Speaker 3: if we're recycling properly. Maybe they do have someone that
9:15
Speaker 3: goes through it, but you figure it's a tedious job.
9:18
Speaker 2: Not with AI at eight.
9:20
Speaker 3: Guess what AI is a nark? AI is a nark.
9:25
Speaker 3: So you leave the wrong kind of digital footprint. Now,
9:30
Speaker 3: bomb being gobongo your toast. Maybe you thought you know,
9:34
Speaker 3: oh well, I know it was out there. But artificial
9:36
Speaker 3: intelligence is making this easier. They can trace your online history.
9:41
Speaker 2: I don't care if you erase it bub you know.
9:45
Speaker 3: And some people say that you should have a dead
9:49
Speaker 3: man switch. You know what a dead man switches. It's
9:51
Speaker 3: like if you're holding a grenade and you've pulled the
9:54
Speaker 3: pin and someone shoots you, your hand goes loose and
9:58
Speaker 3: the grenade's going to go off, right.
10:00
Speaker 2: A dead man switches.
10:01
Speaker 3: If anybody kills you, the bomb will go off anyways
10:03
Speaker 3: to kill them, right. So some people say they want
10:07
Speaker 3: a dead man's switch for their search history. So if
10:12
Speaker 3: they die, automatically, their computer just cleans everything off, just.
10:16
Speaker 4: Wipes the whole computer. That's actually not a bad idea. Right,
10:22
Speaker 4: you're going, what have I searched?
10:24
Speaker 2: They call it the hunter Biden?
10:26
Speaker 6: Oh good, I kidd relax.
10:30
Speaker 2: He's a good kid.
10:31
Speaker 5: You know what's weirdness? I always think about this too.
10:33
Speaker 5: Being in news, we have to like google and research
10:36
Speaker 5: a lot of things. And I know that there is
10:39
Speaker 5: everything from like what was Handle talking about yesterday, Harry
10:43
Speaker 5: women's legs in tights to like to like you know,
10:49
Speaker 5: flyovers in the beach. Like we we we look up
10:53
Speaker 5: a lot of things. So I hope that whenever the
10:55
Speaker 5: tech people are looking at my searches they keep that
10:58
Speaker 5: in mind.
10:58
Speaker 3: Well you do award winning podcast on entertainment. I think
11:03
Speaker 3: about it with writers. Yeah, think about a writer who
11:07
Speaker 3: writes either.
11:08
Speaker 2: Horror or horror horror? Why to become like horror?
11:14
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the horror going on in Long Island
11:18
Speaker 3: and then uh, the stuff they're probably Yeah, but somebody
11:23
Speaker 3: who's like, let's say it's a mystery or someone tieing
11:26
Speaker 3: someone up, different ways to tie someone up?
11:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, how would you? It's like I think about that.
11:31
Speaker 5: Too with some of the movies that get really dark
11:34
Speaker 5: or TV shows. You're like, this writer or these writers
11:37
Speaker 5: had to go to a dark place and had to
11:39
Speaker 5: look this stuff up to get the accuracy of it.
11:42
Speaker 5: So you know that they they're either also a little twisted,
11:45
Speaker 5: but have like a lot of like dark stuff on
11:47
Speaker 5: their internet searches or books that they're reading. You know,
11:49
Speaker 5: no one's going to the library to check out like
11:52
Speaker 5: how to kidnap a woman.
11:54
Speaker 2: You could look that up.
11:55
Speaker 3: By the way, they are our books for writers about
11:58
Speaker 3: murder techniques and things like that. Yeah, they're all these
12:01
Speaker 3: So they have like deer Google. If you don't have
12:06
Speaker 3: your hands on chloroform, what is an everyday household object,
12:12
Speaker 3: you know, fluid that could make a woman pass out?
12:15
Speaker 3: Should you need to just curious, don't do that, is
12:19
Speaker 3: what we're saying. So these predictive market prediction markets and
12:24
Speaker 3: people are betting on things like that. They're leaving these
12:27
Speaker 3: bread crumbs and anything you have on there is leaving
12:34
Speaker 3: a footprint. Imagine this. Back in the seventies, the sixties
12:39
Speaker 3: and seventies was like the height of serial killers. You remember,
12:44
Speaker 3: they're just all these I remember growing up in the seventies,
12:48
Speaker 3: all these different serial killer all this stuff. Right, they
12:53
Speaker 3: don't know they know about fingerprints, they don't know about
12:56
Speaker 3: DNA yet.
12:58
Speaker 2: The technology comes out.
12:59
Speaker 3: I think they just solved another recently, some murder from
13:05
Speaker 3: ages ago with DNA. So we're like, they're not gonna
13:09
Speaker 3: know the early days of the internet. No one's gonna know.
13:11
Speaker 3: And now AI can snoop out all this stuff. Now
13:14
Speaker 3: you're screwed, kids, You're screwed, all right.
13:18
Speaker 7: Just now on the air, we have spent the last
13:22
Speaker 7: hour and a half dealing with all kinds of technical glitches.
13:27
Speaker 7: We thought the mic was dead, replaced the microphone here,
13:30
Speaker 7: rebooted everything from the ground up, and finally I'm back on.
13:37
Speaker 7: And I want to thank Neil for doing a completely
13:41
Speaker 7: mediocre job in covering for me.
13:44
Speaker 6: Neil, thank you very much.
13:47
Speaker 7: And you and Heather have were able to fill my
13:53
Speaker 7: shoes which you're way way too big for.
13:57
Speaker 2: You your mandals. I don't want to put feed in your mandles.
14:01
Speaker 7: No, actually I'm wearing you know, okay, my mandles. I
14:07
Speaker 7: haven't switched out my mandles in probably twenty years. And
14:11
Speaker 7: you know what I find out is before we get
14:13
Speaker 7: to the story here, I go in my closet and
14:17
Speaker 7: I look for my Costco shirts and they're disappearing. One
14:22
Speaker 7: buy one, you know, like you throw socks in the dryer,
14:26
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden one is gone, and then
14:29
Speaker 7: you throw the next pair in the next time out
14:31
Speaker 7: another one is gone. That's what's happening in my closet
14:35
Speaker 7: with my Costco shirts being replaced with shirts that I
14:40
Speaker 7: could well. I put it this way, Tony Bahama shirts
14:45
Speaker 7: that Lindsay is buying. Yeah, with a coupon, and all
14:52
Speaker 7: of a sudden, you know, I can buy eight shirts
14:54
Speaker 7: for the amount of money that you are spending for one.
14:57
Speaker 3: Okay, who goes through their closet and throws away their clothes?
15:03
Speaker 3: And secondly, Lindsay, I love for the love of God, Really,
15:07
Speaker 3: my wife would never touch my.
15:08
Speaker 2: Clothes, Lindsay by him the right size.
15:13
Speaker 3: He wears three sizes too big because he still thinks
15:16
Speaker 3: he's fat.
15:17
Speaker 7: That's true. I'm still there. I am still We talked
15:20
Speaker 7: about this yesterday. I am still there. But you know
15:24
Speaker 7: the other people who, for example, who suffer bolima and
15:29
Speaker 7: they all think that they are still you'd be weighing
15:33
Speaker 7: eighty pounds.
15:34
Speaker 6: And they licats themselves in the mirror and they think
15:36
Speaker 6: they're fat.
15:37
Speaker 7: I mean it is. It's a real, real major disorder.
15:42
Speaker 7: And I am right in the middle of that. There's
15:44
Speaker 7: no question about I am in a thirty four inch waist.
15:48
Speaker 7: I have not been in a thirty four inch way
15:50
Speaker 7: since I've been four years old, and there I am.
15:54
Speaker 7: You know, so we talked about this yesterday and we're done.
15:59
Speaker 7: So now here is I think, Well, I don't know
16:04
Speaker 7: if it was unintended, but something that is happening, and
16:08
Speaker 7: that is people that drive around in robotaxis weimo's for example,
16:12
Speaker 7: they are finding not only is there an issue of
16:14
Speaker 7: course with the software stopping in intersections, the rains come,
16:22
Speaker 7: you've got first responders responding and they go right through
16:26
Speaker 7: the area.
16:27
Speaker 6: One of the big big.
16:28
Speaker 7: Ones is people sleeping in the back of a riderless
16:36
Speaker 7: car or a driverless car, just.
16:38
Speaker 6: Straight out falling asleep. You can see that.
16:40
Speaker 7: I mean when you're on the road, for example, for
16:43
Speaker 7: a period of time, you get groggy and you can
16:46
Speaker 7: fall asleep while you're driving. Well think about this. You're
16:48
Speaker 7: in the back of a car, there's nobody there, and
16:51
Speaker 7: you fall asleep. Well, what does WEIMO do. It actually
16:58
Speaker 7: is programmed to wake you up sort of kind of
17:02
Speaker 7: what will happen is if you're not moving at all.
17:06
Speaker 7: I believe there is a program that then goes into
17:09
Speaker 7: central command, because there is a central command, a war room,
17:12
Speaker 7: if you will. And now through the life speaker loudspeakers.
17:16
Speaker 6: Hey, wake up, Hey, wake up. What if you're a.
17:19
Speaker 7: Sound sleeper and sleep through all this, they call nine
17:22
Speaker 7: to one one, and nine to one one comes out
17:25
Speaker 7: the responders, and they wake you up now, granted with
17:29
Speaker 7: a siren. And let's say the door is locked, and
17:32
Speaker 7: they use the jaws of life to open up the
17:34
Speaker 7: door to let you out. You're gonna wake up. But
17:37
Speaker 7: that's a real problem. So that's problem number one they're
17:39
Speaker 7: finding is people who are asleep, and it's happening a
17:44
Speaker 7: whole lot. The other one is what people leave in
17:47
Speaker 7: the backseat of those cars. Disgusting, I mean disgusting garbage, food,
17:58
Speaker 7: and then some un mentionable things which I will mention
18:02
Speaker 7: right now, of course.
18:03
Speaker 6: And that is people pooping in the back seat.
18:07
Speaker 7: They do this, they do this, they do there, they
18:10
Speaker 7: are oh, I gotta go, I gotta go. Oh, you're
18:12
Speaker 7: not gonna do it in your car, but hey it's
18:14
Speaker 7: a way they can't see me, you know. And then
18:18
Speaker 7: other unmentionable things go yes, well said, and what happens
18:23
Speaker 7: when you're well. For example, I'll give you an example it.
18:27
Speaker 7: I'll give you another example. What if you find yourself
18:32
Speaker 7: incredibly horny and.
18:34
Speaker 6: There's no one there but you.
18:37
Speaker 7: Hmmm, Heather is shaking your head giving me the look,
18:43
Speaker 7: and it's disgusting stuff and people throw up. I mean,
18:47
Speaker 7: they all kinds of crazy things, and you're charged for it.
18:52
Speaker 7: And they know the last person to get in that car.
18:55
Speaker 7: They know exactly who that is. A matter of fact,
18:57
Speaker 7: they're video doing video you doing that, which, by the way,
19:00
Speaker 7: think about this. If you are doing the unmentionable to
19:03
Speaker 7: yourself in the backseat of a car, can you then
19:06
Speaker 7: sell it and put it on certain platforms? I say
19:11
Speaker 7: you can. I you know, way to go? Weay more.
19:18
Speaker 7: It's completely wild, it is. And the other part, now,
19:21
Speaker 7: the more serious part, I mean, the fun part, is
19:24
Speaker 7: the crazy stuff that happens. WEIMO doesn't like it because
19:27
Speaker 7: they have to clean it up. Although they charge of
19:30
Speaker 7: course the rider, but if you stop, the credit card
19:33
Speaker 7: and that goes on and on. But anyway, so they're
19:36
Speaker 7: able to charge and they do the cleaning up. But
19:40
Speaker 7: when first responders come out because it's happening more and
19:42
Speaker 7: more why Because there are more and more people riding
19:45
Speaker 7: those taxis and there are more and more people falling
19:48
Speaker 7: asleep in the backseat of a taxi, so boom, they
19:51
Speaker 7: can't wake up the rider and out comes a nine
19:55
Speaker 7: to one one call, which do and first responders show
19:57
Speaker 7: up and it's for someone who has fallen a sleep. Yeah,
20:03
Speaker 7: that's a problem for sure. Okay, news broke this morning
20:07
Speaker 7: and man what video. Effectively, West Hollywood was underwater, That's
20:12
Speaker 7: what happened. And there was a huge water main that
20:16
Speaker 7: did break. Heather, you've been following this. What's the latest.
20:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, So right now Mayor Bass is there with some
20:23
Speaker 5: of the city officials. LEDWP is there. They're talking about
20:28
Speaker 5: how they've been trying to find the valves and locate
20:30
Speaker 5: them and make sure everything is turned off. The problem
20:34
Speaker 5: is is that multiple agencies could be working on the valve,
20:40
Speaker 5: so they've got to figure that out whose valve it
20:43
Speaker 5: is exactly first.
20:44
Speaker 4: And it's just a mess.
20:46
Speaker 5: Cars flooded, parking lots flooded, metro buses flooded in this
20:51
Speaker 5: area in West Hollywood on Holloway Drive and Sunset is
20:55
Speaker 5: where it's all kind of centrally is where it's all
20:58
Speaker 5: kind of located.
21:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know it's good for the mayor that
21:02
Speaker 7: she jumped right on this because I guess you took
21:06
Speaker 7: her first flight out of Ghana this morning to deal
21:10
Speaker 7: with the water main break.
21:12
Speaker 5: Well, it's a weird that it's weird that she's there
21:15
Speaker 5: because she's not the mayor of West Hollywood, you know,
21:18
Speaker 5: I know, Ellie does.
21:19
Speaker 6: That's its own city.
21:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ellie DODVP is involved, but she's not in the
21:23
Speaker 4: mayor of West Hollywood also.
21:26
Speaker 7: And I heard you folks talking this morning, you and Neil,
21:31
Speaker 7: and it was we talked about how those pipes. First
21:34
Speaker 7: of all, that was a main It has to be
21:36
Speaker 7: three feet in diameter. I mean, this is a main
21:38
Speaker 7: main water pipe. And the amount of water that was
21:41
Speaker 7: gushing out of it was just incredible. It literally looked like, well,
21:46
Speaker 7: it looked like what the East Coast is dealing with
21:48
Speaker 7: right now. For example, the Quadalupe River is crusting it
21:52
Speaker 7: twenty five feet and that happened within an hour.
21:56
Speaker 6: I mean, that's how crazy it was.
21:57
Speaker 7: And this, yeah, what foot to rain in twenty four
22:01
Speaker 7: hours and it look that bad until they we'll cut
22:04
Speaker 7: it off and then the main itself and Neil was
22:06
Speaker 7: saying this. Those pipes are over a century old, and
22:10
Speaker 7: you're saying made out of clay, they are not designed
22:13
Speaker 7: to last a century, correct.
22:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, And what's happened now is the area there at
22:18
Speaker 5: Holloway Drive. It's created a giant sinkhole. Literally the cement
22:23
Speaker 5: and the road has sunken down in the middle of
22:27
Speaker 5: this intersection. It is a massive infrastructure mess. So everybody,
22:32
Speaker 5: if you can avoid that area. I know we'll have
22:34
Speaker 5: an update during the traffic segment, but avoid that area
22:37
Speaker 5: because not only is there flooding from all of the water,
22:41
Speaker 5: you literally cannot drive down the road there.
22:43
Speaker 2: Now.
22:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Well, I mean, no surprise.
22:48
Speaker 7: And the difference is as we go back east you
22:50
Speaker 7: look at back east, this is rain. This is our
22:53
Speaker 7: water supply here, and we cannot afford to lose certainly
22:58
Speaker 7: this amount of water. When it's all said and done,
23:01
Speaker 7: I would like to know how much water went down
23:04
Speaker 7: the drains, if you will.
23:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I'd like to
23:07
Speaker 4: know how much.
23:08
Speaker 5: They kind of scurried away quickly after answering a couple
23:11
Speaker 5: of questions, so I don't know if that got asked,
23:14
Speaker 5: but I would like to know as well, because it
23:15
Speaker 5: was a tremendous amount of water.
23:18
Speaker 7: All right, when we come back, I want to ask
23:22
Speaker 7: you a question. No, I'm going to ask Pete Hegseth
23:25
Speaker 7: the question. Do you wake up every morning and say
23:28
Speaker 7: what can I do today to really gum up the
23:31
Speaker 7: works or really screw things over?
23:34
Speaker 6: Yeah?
23:35
Speaker 7: Yes he does, and he's very good at it. And
23:38
Speaker 7: I'll share with you, but only with menly men. I
23:42
Speaker 7: don't want to hear from you women. Oh yeah, manly men,
23:45
Speaker 7: and oh come on, Will's pointing to himself.
