Fed Funding Proposal for Universities | Reclining Your Airplane Seat · The Bill Handel Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: AM six forty Bill Handle. Here it is a Friday,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: October seventeenth. All right, I want to talk about what's
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: going on with the universities and the administration. And I
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: want to start with a backstory and a premise.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: This is what this story is based on.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: How does the federal government how can it control private
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: universities since there probably is really no connection, And I'll
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: tell you how, and that is virtually every university has
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: federal money involved. That's how our government works. State government,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: county government money is given to organizations, to other governments,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to municipal organizations like police departments, and so much of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: it is federal money because that's the way the system goes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: We pay the FEDS, and the FEDS fund of the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: money funnels into universities or police departments whatever. This is
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: about universities. And so here's what the Trump administration has done.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: This is unprecedented, it's never been done before. It has
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: written to nine schools and said, tell you what, We're
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: going to give you a whole list of stuff that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we want you to do, and if you do it,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we're going to fund your university, give you preference, you'll
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: get money. First, We're gonna give you more money for
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: research instead of taking it away. And this compact, this agreement,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this is, according to a letter that's sent to the universities,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: is aimed at the proactive improvement of higher education for
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the betterment of the country.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The administration is saying, we will decide.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: What you teach and what you don't teach for the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: betterment of the country.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And what do they have to do? Okay, in order
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to get this.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: First of all, here's the kind of money that these
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: universities are getting. And this is in many cases research
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: money for medical research that the government is yanking in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: many cases to schools that do not follow the philosophy,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in some cases the hundreds of millions of dollars, in
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Harvard's case, billions of dollars.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: This is in.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Research, medical research. We're not talking about ideology. We're just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: talking about cancer research. We're talking about research across the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: board in terms of diseases and vaccines, et cetera. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: here what the universities were asked to do in order
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to hit the level that the government wants. And boy,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: if you do that, we're gonna give you a money.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We're not going to stop money from going in. Removing
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: factors like sex and ethnicity from admissions consideration. I mean
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the courts have basically already done that, and I agree
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you knownicity and sect should.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Not be considered.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Foster a vibrant marketplace of ideas on campus.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Who decides what is a vibrant idea of a marketplace
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of ideas?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Does that mean no conservative? Does that mean too many liberals?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, no single ideology dominant. Okay,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: then the argument is a lot of most of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: schools are left leaning, and they are, But who decides
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: where that line is? At what point does the university
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: cross the line in terms of ideology, Well, the government's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: going to make that decision, assess faculty and staff viewpoints.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Adopt definitions of gender. What you're born with is your gender.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: There's no such thing as even recognizing trans people. It's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: just bottom line, and certainly the schools can't recognize it
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because definitions of gender will be according to reproductive functions
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and biological processes. I'm assuming it's whatever you're born with.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Commit to reforming or shuddering institutional units that purposely punish, belittle,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and even spark violence against conservative ideas. Man, I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: know where universities are promulgating or pushing for violence against
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: conservative ideas. By the way, what is violence protest? I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: don't know what violence is. Also a commitment to grade integrity.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Explain that one to me. What is grade integrity? Some
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: professors are very liberal in what they grade. Others are
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: really tough. I've had teachers that go both ways where
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it was an easy A and an impossible B. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: figure that one out. A five year freeze on tuition costs. Okay,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that's easy to figure out. Now, how do schools deal
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: with that? Because their costs keep on going up, up
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and up. I mean, that's at least specific. Fifteen percent
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: require cap on international students.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that's specific.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The problem is you have sc you have UCLA were
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a large part of their budget international students who pay
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: full retail, they pay the rack rate and they rely
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: on that. And if the schools agree, they would be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: even priority for grants when possible. And here are added attractions,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and you'll have special invitations for white house events and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: discussions with officials.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Boy, that's going to do it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know, you get special invitation to household, to White
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: House events, and an annual participation in an anonymous poll
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to see if the universities are complying with these not
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: requests requirements, or money is yanked or you're put on
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: low priority.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Never been done before.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, So now of the nine schools, Brown, Penn, USC,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and MIT have told the White House to go pound sand.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And we'll see what happens with that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: But again, as I've said, it's just administration pushing the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: very boundaries of what is political power, what is presidential power?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And does the president have the right And we don't know.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It'll go to court of course to say no to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: research money if the school doesn't comply. Don't know if
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that's true. Probably the president does have that kind of power.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: You know, the courts have been, especially this Supreme Court
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: has been very preferential to the president. Has decided over
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and over again that the president does have these powers
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: which the court prior to this conservative court, the six
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to three majority on the conservative side, would never have allowed.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: All right, so much for that. Now, have you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Noticed that we have not had a flex alert in
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a couple of years now. For decades, we've had these
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: rolling blackouts and calls for energy conservation. Don't put your
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: thermostat above sixty eight or below sixty eight or seventy
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: two and when it's hot put it down or whatever.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Try it's been such a long time, I don't even remember,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and I should. Here's what's happening. We don't have them anymore.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: The state has undergone a shift in recent years. The
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: California Independent or System Operator, right, that's cal ISIS hasn't
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: issued a alert since.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two. Now, why do you think that's happened?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Right? The technology of moving electricity from place to place
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: is about the same.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You've got the.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Transmission lines and during well, during the day.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: We use less electricity, or used to.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: At night or during the day we use more because
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you've got offices going, you've got a lot more use
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of electricity at night. We have air conditioning going as
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: also during the day. But the bottom line was use
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: your appliances at night because we don't have solar for example,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: because solar is a big deal and has been for years,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but still, what do you do when the sun isn't
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: out there and we're attached to the grid. We use
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a lot more electricity, and what was the problem. The
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: problem what do you do to generate electricity when there
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is no sun or there is no wind power, which
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: is kind of amd because that's up in the air.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: The wind power factor is fairly small. Batteries, batteries were
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the technology. Batteries were the answer, and frankly, battery technology
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: was slow incoming. Science had a very hard time dealing
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: with batteries that work.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The batteries are.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Efficient batteries, the last bastion of a easy system.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That allows solar to work well.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Battery technology has exploded. California has invested very heavily in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: battery technology. It's gotten cheaper, it's become more mature. Right now,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: this is a stat battery storage, and that's of course,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: battery is all about storing. Electricity has grown three thousand
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: percent and six year from five hundred megawats in twenty
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: twenty to more than fifteen thousand megawatts. You know, it
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: was only five years ago when we had this just
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: record shattering heat wave and the grid was pushed to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a limit and a lot of the state was pushed
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: into darkness. And that's when state officials said we're going
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to go balls to the wall and we're going to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: build up our battery inventory. And it has worked. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: has worked. They're becoming more cost effective. It used to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: be hideously expensive. Now well, they're actually right in line
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: with gas fired power plants, and all of a sudden
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it makes a lot of sense. Is there a problem politically, Yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the President likes gas fired power plants, does not like
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: alternative energy. Matter of fact, he's shut down a major
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: major I think it was a wind farm in off
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the shore of New Jersey that was just about finished
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and shut it down as being built with federal money.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Now here is an interesting dichotomy, and this one I love.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The President is against alternative energy. He's made it very
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: clear he is in favor of fossil fuels being used
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: to provide electricity, burn fossil fuels gas powered plants. But
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: at the same time he loves battery production, which is
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the exact opposite of fossil fuels power plant. Now, why
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: does he like batteries, Well, because batteries are on their
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: way in a big way to be manufactured in the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: United States right now. I think eighty percent of our
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: batteries come from China, China, and we're moving in the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: other direction.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: We're gonna build them here.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Same thing with solar panels, which he does not like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: except when they're being built in the United States, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to prevail.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we're.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Going to go back to let's just do all gas
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: fired plants, because alternative energy is going to end up
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: being cheaper than gas fired plants. Forget about the environmental issue,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: which a lot of people will feel very strongly about.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Let's just talk about economy, money and money controls. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: now you have people that would rather go to battery
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: powered or solar systems, where energy is stored in batteries
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: as well as wind, as well as you've got the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: wave business that's coming up. That technology is moving ahead
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: at a rapid place. And when that becomes cheaper right
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: now is competitive. When that becomes cheaper, where do you
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: think we're going to go politically? Forget about the politics.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It's going to go to alternative energy. And already, what
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is it. California has thirty percent of solar power that's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: being used.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think any other state comes close to it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: So we're on our way and you're not going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: see any more flex alerts.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I remember those. Those were crazy. Remember we had to.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Bring our temperatures down during during the summer. It was like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you couldn't go above you want to keep seventy eight degrees,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: so you don't put your air condition on.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Who keeps a house seventy eight degrees? Come on?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And during the winter, don't put it above sixty eight degrees?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Come on? Who lives in a house with sixty eight degrees?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: So I was a huge but I have to tell you,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I went on the air and I advocated that policy
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: while I was ignoring it at home. The hypocrisy that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I was experiencing and I was promoting was absolutely stunning.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Because as I was telling you, don't turn your heat
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: up beyond sixty eight degrees when it's cold, my heat
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: was at seventy three seventy two. And when I was
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: telling you, do not go below seventy eight when we
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: have hot spells, because that's what the government wants us
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to do because of the additional electricity and the overworking
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of the system. While I was telling you please set
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: your thermostat at seventy eight degrees, mine was at seventy two. Hey,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: no one ever accused me of not being a hypocrite.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, can I tell you all right now?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: When Beyond Meat first came out plant based meat products,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Neil was a huge fan.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: We talked about it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: He loved it, and if you paid attention and really
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it, this was twenty nineteen, you would have paid
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty five dollars per share for Beyond
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Meat because it was so successful. If you try to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: sell your shares today, you're going to get less than
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a dollar a share. If you'd bought at the top,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you've lost ninety nine percent of your money. So what happened, Well,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Beyond Meat makes pea based foods mimic the taste of beef, chicken, pork,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: And while they were in a huge demand early in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the pandemic, they're now not so much. They're way down
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and we're back to animal proteins. We just like animal proteins.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Thought we were going to go in the other direction.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Now you also have a lot of rivalry between impossible foods,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: which in Redwood they've actually made gains at supermarkets and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: maybe because that's available as a w opera at Burger
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: King but the entire US plant based meat and seafood
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: industry twenty eight percent drop year to year. Why well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: because these plant based meats are a lot more money.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: They are more expensive than the animal products. And frankly,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: with inflation, we now shop with our pocketbook. We now
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: we always have, but particularly now, it's gotten to the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: point where you have these plant based food items that
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: had their own displays, you know, they had their own
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: refrigerators at the end of the end cap of the stores.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Now they're moving them to they're getting rid of those
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and moving him to just the meat section where they're
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: harder to find. It's just going downhill, very very quickly.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So what are they trying to do. They're trying to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: get new products. They're trying to use less processed food
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: because one of the things about Beyond Meat is a
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: processed food product, and people are really concerned about that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: You buy a steak, it's not processed, it's a steak.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You buy Beyond.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Meat uber processed. I mean the amount of processing. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: and yes I did say that they were tasty. They
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: are tasty. They are tasty, But if you listen to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the program, I broke down why I didn't think they
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: would succeed, and the one of the problems was the
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: sodium is just as high, if not higher. The only
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: difference between a plant based patty and nutrition wise and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: beef for the most part is cholesterol. Other than that,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: they have the same amount of you know, sodium, if
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: not more. They so people thought they were going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: be a healthy version and they're not.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: And they're not and they're not. So you have that
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: going south. You have the price, and people just like meat.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I mean for those people that you know, have this
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: thing about I'm not going to eat anything that has
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: a face, and I believe in you know, God creates
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: all animals, all life form. Let me tell you, if
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: God didn't want us to eat steaks, why would he
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: make cow?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Why would he.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Make cows out of meat? Is spottom line. We just
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: like our meat. Now, there is one place where this company,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Beyond Meat, is doing very very well, and that's strangely enough,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: in Afghanistan, because well it's a new product they're coming
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: out called Beyond Ground and if Afghanistan that has several
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: different definitions.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, at least Kono thought that was funny.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: So for those people that think Beyond Meat is still
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a good deal, and you bought it at the top
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of the heap. You bought it at two hundred and
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: thirty five dollars a share. You don't have to worry
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: about the cost of meat or plant based meat. All
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you have to worry about is the cost of cow food.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: All right, we're done. See that talks about Can I
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: explain that to you?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Neil? Yeah, I got it? Okay. Now here is a question.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Is it okay to recline your airplane seat?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: All right, first we do a survey, says Neil. Airplane.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: See we're talking about coach.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yes or no on the reclining No, okay, Codo, Yes
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: or no on reclining No, okay, Amy, Yes or no
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: on reclining, yes, yes, on reclining will who is not there?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yes or no? On reclining? Are you there? Will? Okay,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he's not there? And who is.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Sitting out there with Cono? You say yes on reclining, right, okay?
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I say yes on reclining except for the person in
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: front of me. Then it's a know on reclining, and
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that is actually a big issue. I have flown both
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: ways where the seats do recline and don't recline. You've
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: been on a plane where you try to push the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: button and try to get a recline and just doesn't move.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Plenty of airlines are doing that, and then I don't
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: even know why they call it reclining. It's one inch.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it does nothing. They're cramming.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: There's no way to there's no way to do it
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: without interfering on the experience of the person behind you, which.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Is right as hell. And what do you do?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: You have them recline well, and it depends on the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: length of the plane the plane ride too, So.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Do you tell the person behind you do you mind
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: if I recline? And what are they going to say? Well,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I say, do you mind if
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I recline? The person in front of me? I say,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: do you mind if I fart? And they usually say no,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: they it goes both ways or yes on the farting part.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: The bottom line, shone a plane with you before, I know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: it's very impressive.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I know I'd prefer that you don't.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: You prefer to fly on another plane? Neil and I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: have quite a story about that. But the bottom line
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: is the reclining, even an inch actually costs the airlines
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: because of new material and how they've designed the seats.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: The cushions are so much smaller than they used to be.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They can actually get an extra row in, for example,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: a seven thirty seven. They've developed enough seating technology to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: get extra row, and they say the seats are more comfortable.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Give me a break. It is impossible. So strangely enough,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: there was a survey done by the Washington Post and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: it's half and half fifty say yes, fifty percent say no.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Although reclining a seat in coach, as I said, I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: don't even know why they call it reclining because already
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: you're you're dealing with the that, you know, the tray
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: going down and it driving in out there.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Will reclining seats on airplanes? Yes or no? Well, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: can hear you. Sorry, Yeah, I like them. I think
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: they should recline a lot more than they do.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean that's a given. They're not going
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to recline a lot more than they do. But yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I feel you know, I'm at the I'm up in
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the air with that.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Literally how that works?
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: All right, We're done with that, ending with pretty good
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: pun not bad. All right, This is KFI A M sixty.
