Anyways, today is Friday, January the 10th of 2025, day 355th of the year.

Anyways, we are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there.

21
00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:12,820
Radio Big streaming 24 7 at Radio Big FM. I guess when you get obsessed with a concept, you just stick with it as much as you can.

22
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:19,820
It's kind of the way that it goes. So how are you? How is the last 24 hours been in regards of everything going on?

23
00:03:19,820 --> 00:03:26,820
I will tell you me personally, I had a conference that I was in that was supposed to be yesterday for four hours.

24
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:31,820
Then it got changed to five hours and ended up being closer to six. That's me personally.

25
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:35,820
I'm supposed to do that thing again today and tomorrow. So we'll see what happens.

26
00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:40,820
And yes, I did say tomorrow. And yes, I am aware tomorrow is Saturday. So yeah, a lot of stuff.

27
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:47,820
So if you're new here, our show consists of talking about safety in the news, news and safety.

00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:59,820
So there you go. So with that being said, now, you know what our show is about.

30
00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:09,820
We bring in some professional broadcasters that come in and talk about everything that they see going on in regards of the world itself, because that's the way that it goes.

34
00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:38,820

35
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:44,820
And we can start talking about what in the hell was trending.

Here is what was trending. Rated R. Safety Show.

37
00:04:49,820 --> 00:05:01,820
Okay. So as I take a look at the trends at the end of the end, Oregon law enforcement cleans up a drug legalization mess and a distraught woman confronts Gavin Newsom.

38
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:10,820
We'll talk about that as we get into the shit list. Also, more celebs evacuate and Tom Holland releases a non alcoholic line of beer.

39
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:21,820
Huh? Okay. Well, I would so say something, but let's just leave it at that. And also a talent battle unfolds behind the scenes at ABC and Tom Brady.

40
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:35,820
It's time as time with Fox may be over. Yeah, I think is if he has ownership inside of the the Las Vegas team, I think that that might be a he had might have to call it to an end, but that's neither here nor there.

41
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:42,820
And also Megan Markle finds synergy. We'll talk about that as we get into the Royals.

42
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:51,820
So with it being free for Friday, we're going to one load a petra a plethora of news coming your general direction. Yeah, because that's what it is.

43
00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:57,820

A lot of stuff going on as we go through the whole rig a row of everything happening. By the way, here in Florida currently 38 degrees. Yeah.

45
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:15,820
I know six degrees to freezing. That's kind of where we're at today. Yeah, kind of one of those weird things that happens from time to time.

46
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:21,820
So this stuff to talk about. So with that being said, let's go ahead and bring in our people from Feature Story News.

47
00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:25,820
Let them tell you about what the hell's going on inside of the news world, because that's important.

48
00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:28,820
Here is the news on the Royals Safety Show.

49
00:06:28,820 --> 00:06:40,820
For Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Ashant Garg. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky says that some 4,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded while fighting alongside Russian troops against Ukraine.

50
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:47,820
He added that Russia turning to North Korea shows the weakness of President Vladimir Putin. Rebecca Bundon reports.

51
00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:55,820
Zelensky made the comments while addressing an international conference at a US base in western Germany, which brought together delegates from Europe and the US.

52
00:06:55,820 --> 00:07:09,820
He was referring to North Korean soldiers fighting in the western Russian region of Kursk, where Ukraine's military has been launching a cross border incursion, saying that thousands of North Korean soldiers have been killed or injured so far.

53
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:16,820
This comes as there are growing concerns among western countries about Russia's strengthening relationship with North Korea.

54
00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:28,820
And after North Korea earlier this week launched a missile test, which it said was a new hypersonic intermediate range missile designed to strike remote targets in the Pacific. Rebecca Bund in Tokyo.

55
00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:38,820
Chinese President Xi Jinping will send a high-level envoy in his place to US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, according to the Financial Times newspaper.

56
00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:51,820
Trump had extended the invitation to Xi, but experts said it would have been unprecedented for a leader of China to attend a US presidential inauguration and called it political theater. Laura Westbrook has more.

57
00:07:51,820 --> 00:08:01,820
According to the report, Beijing said the high-level official would attend the inauguration on January 20th instead of President Xi Jinping and would hold talks with China's team.

58
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:10,820
The official could be Hong Chung, a vice president who sometimes stands in for Xi in ceremonial roles, while another option was Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

59
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:24,820
The report said some Trump advisers wanted Xi, a member of the Politburo's standing committee seen as wielding much more power than Hong and Wang in his capacity as Xi's right-hand man. Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.

60
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:33,820
The United Nations is warning more than 125,000 Syrian refugees are facing desperate conditions as they return to their home country.

61
00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:50,820
The UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, says many people have arrived back in Syria following last month's fall of the Assad regime, but families find themselves with little shelter and few economic prospects. Sally Patterson reports from New York.

62
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:57,820
More than a million refugees have flowed back into the country, but what they face there is hardly a dream come true.

63
00:08:57,820 --> 00:09:14,820
Syria's brutal war has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis. UN figures show nearly 15 million Syrians require health services, 13 million face acute food insecurity, and many have no shelter while battling winter conditions.

64
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:28,820
United Nations officials say they need $73.2 million over the next six months to support displaced people. Officials are calling on the international community to act, warning it's time now to turn words into actions.

65
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:49,820
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, will the devastating wildfires in California have an impact on the debate over climate change in the United States? No president has prioritized the battle against global warming like Joe Biden, and equally few political leaders have been as dismissive of the threat it presents like Donald Trump.

66
00:09:49,820 --> 00:10:04,820
If you ask the American public, an overwhelming majority believe that climate change is happening. Former Obama administration official Nat Kehone heads the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, which promotes a more rapid move to net zero.

67
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:20,820
The climate is polarized, just like almost everything is right now in American politics. On the Democratic side, you have overwhelming majorities of Democratic voters who say this is a top priority. In 2020, Joe Biden was elected in part on the strength of his commitments on climate change.

68
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:31,820
So you have a Democratic party that sees this, where the voters see this as a priority. I think many of the voters on the Republican side also understand the importance of climate change. It's the leadership.

69
00:10:31,820 --> 00:10:44,820
It's not everybody in the Republican Party. We're an organization that looks to work with folks in both parties. There are Republican members of Congress who understand the importance of climate, but the leadership and certainly Donald Trump is not among them.

70
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:58,820
The president-elect has so far blamed Governor Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, for the crisis and has shown no indication of embracing the view that global warming has played a role. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

Anyway, so let's get into it because there's a lot of stuff to talk about. No doubt about that. So today the Supreme Court will hear the argument whether the law forcing to shut down or still tick tock is constitutional.

95
00:18:19,820 --> 00:18:33,820
Follow up after shark tank star Kevin O'Leary said earlier this week that he's part of an investment group to buy the package. One of his co investors Frank McCourt announced that the group has assembled all of the resources to make a formal bid.

96
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:52,820
While the exact dollar value has not been publicized, McCourt group has brought together financing and private equity funds, private family offices and big spenders with big checkbooks plus debt financing from a undisclosed bank described as one of the largest in the country.

97
00:18:52,820 --> 00:19:09,820
By keeping the platform alive without relying on the current tick tock algorithm and avoiding a ban, millions of Americans can continue to enjoy the platform. We look forward to working with bite dance, President elect Trump and the incoming administration to get the deal done.

98
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:14,820
The group said in a statement. This is according to NBC News.

99
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:31,820
So what do you think? I mean, I have never ever ever ever or should I say, I heard of something you know being this important to people of hey you know we need tick tock I mean if it's old of it shut down.

100
00:19:31,820 --> 00:19:47,820
Life goes on dear John, because if it is a let's see a public security issue based on the current regime. Is it really something worth keeping hold of. I'm just asking is that we just want to have a better understanding because I'm kind of dumb when it comes to a lot of this stuff.

101
00:19:47,820 --> 00:20:03,820
So there you go. Anyway, space race continues Jeff Bezos space company Blue Origin will launch its own semi reusable rocket overnight tonight at Cape Canaveral, if all goes as planned the launch was already delayed earlier today due to a weather concerns but a new launch

102
00:20:03,820 --> 00:20:23,820
window opens around midnight like space X Falcon heavy rocket new glens booster section is designed to be reusable and will land on a floating recovery bad, though it has about half the payload capacity of the of the to go around the orbit as the space X counterpart

103
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:44,820
does. If successful the rocket will deploy the Blue Origin ring pathfinder and an innovative prototype that the Blue Origin describes as space truck and able to carry and transform payloads between other satellites in orbit, as well as manage and transfer data.

104
00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:48,820
This is according to Gizmodo.

105
00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:59,820
So let's talk about some of this stuff because it gets interesting. If we're getting to these places now reusable rockets. How's that going to work.

106
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:11,820
Like, are we going to get to a portion we're going to go okay we're going to go to Saturn and then now we're going to go from Saturn to Jupiter. So I mean I am just trying to figure this out. Is that the plane in the long run I would imagine that it has to be.

107
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:24,820
How's that going to work overall. I mean like what all what all we're gonna have to have because you're going to send one then to try to send it back later, but something else has going to meet up with it. I mean I can only imagine the total cluster it's going to be.

108
00:21:24,820 --> 00:21:41,820
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying to be entertaining. Our safety show. Yeah, you know how it goes. So there you go. Anyways, new subscribers think that the newly added Nicholas Cleage flick is the best performance.

The album remained on the top through the end of March of that year becoming the first that spent the first 10 weeks in the spot since Whitney uses 1987 album Whitney Wallins latest album is one more thing at a time is number six on the list.

112
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:49,820
This is according to billboard. So we talked about this earlier. So let's talk about it now. Tom Brady's time as the analyst at Fox Sports is maybe coming to an end. The former quarterback is said to be running the Las Vegas Raiders full time next season compromising his ability to analyze NFL games.

113
00:22:49,820 --> 00:23:04,820
According to several sports insiders Brady is in the first season of a 10 year deal worth 30 or excuse me $375 million as a Fox Sports lead analyst is according to Daily Mail.

114
00:23:04,820 --> 00:23:21,820
So you must have a lot of belief on what the hell is going to go on inside of the other section. If you are willing to do that that's for sure. So think about that for a hot moment as we are talking anyway single listen to this because we talked about it at the top of the hour.

115
00:23:21,820 --> 00:23:36,820
Hold on. California woman has gone viral for confronting governor Gavin Newsom and demanding answers about the state or it will help her rebuild her life after her community was burned to the ground in the video captured by Britain Sky News.

116
00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:56,820
The unidentified woman is wearing an N95 style mask and runs up to Newsom who at first Christ to dismiss her with questions by saying that he's on the phone with President Joe Biden. When she asked him if she can listen to the call Newsom says that he's not actually on the line with the president and that he's looking for signal.

117
00:23:56,820 --> 00:24:09,820
When all when she offers to help him get a signal he continues to stall when he says that he he do whatever he can to help she declares but you're not so it's kind of an interesting one.

118
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:28,820
Let's let's so let's see if we we can get that over here to you real quick because you know it's always a good time when we get to you know do some things out of the ordinary here. So let's take a look around and see if we can pull some stuff up over here.

119
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:31,820
Yeah.

120
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:35,820
Yeah, let's let's do this. So let's let's go.

121
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:48,820
I live here governor. That was my daughter school governor please tell me what you're going to do. I'm not going to hurt on my promise. I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter.

122
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:53,820
Can I hear it. Can I hear your car because I don't believe it.

123
00:24:53,820 --> 00:25:00,820
I'm sorry. There's literally. I've tried five times that's why I'm walking around to make the president not taking your call.

124
00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:09,820
Because it's not going through. I have to get self service. Let's get it. I want to be here when you call the president. I appreciate I'm doing that right now.

125
00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:17,820
It's to immediately get reimbursements individual assistance and to help you on devastated. I'm so sorry, especially for your daughter.

126
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:27,820
I have four kids lose everyone who went to school there they lost their homes they lost two homes because they were living in one building another.

127
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:34,820
Tell me tell me what are you going to do with the president right now. We're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.

128
00:25:34,820 --> 00:25:39,820
This seems pretty interesting in regards to how this is being approached but let's continue a little bit more here.

129
00:25:39,820 --> 00:25:46,820
In the hydrants. It's all literally is it going to be different next time. It has to be.

130
00:25:46,820 --> 00:25:55,820
Of course, what are you going to do. I would fill them up personally you know that I would fill up the hydrants myself.

131
00:25:55,820 --> 00:26:02,820
But would you do that. I would do whatever I can. But you're not. I see the do you know there's water dripping over there governor.

132
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:11,820
There's water coming out there. You can use it. I appreciate it. I'm going to make the call to address everything I can right now including making sure people are safe.

133
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:16,820
I'd like to make sure you can I can I have an opportunity to at least tell people you're doing what you're saying you're doing.

134
00:26:16,820 --> 00:26:22,820
Could somebody have a contact. Can I have your contact. Right now. Thank you.

135
00:26:22,820 --> 00:26:31,820
OK. OK. So very interesting. I mean I don't know. I would let's be honest here about a couple of things there.

136
00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:38,820
I'd be kind of freaked out in regards to some lady chasing me down in regards of wanting to talk to me.

137
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:44,820
And I understand that some of these things are devastating and what's going on. But that's weird. Like that's weird weird.

138
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:53,820
And I don't know because the way that it's approached it's like it does not feel genuine. I mean I'm just saying my opinion.

139
00:26:53,820 --> 00:27:00,820
And that's I think that's kind of why you're here. But yeah it's kind of a weird word. That is for sure. No doubt.

140
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:08,820
Who truly cares what this guy has to say. Who gives a shit. Rated R. Safety Show.

141
00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:18,820
What a weird time. Anyways Oregon course corrections to fix its misguided drug legalization policy continues a newly sworn in district attorney of

142
00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:29,820
Moldova County which contains Portland promise in a press conference this week to prosecute drug use on public transit to the full extent of the law

143
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:38,820
including nearly one year in jail and sentence one year sentences and fines of over six thousand dollars in the statement of what should be obvious.

144
00:27:38,820 --> 00:27:49,820
D.A. Nathan Vasquez said that every rider of public transportation has the right to breathe air that is not polluted with fentanyl or illegal smoke.

145
00:27:49,820 --> 00:28:01,820
OK. What if it's legal smoke. The county sheriff's added that the press briefing that the police would have zero tolerance for people using drugs on the city transit lines.

146
00:28:01,820 --> 00:28:11,820
OK. So this is according to the post millennial. So here's a list TSA top list of the most unusual fines from twenty twenty four.

147
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:23,820
Are we ready because it's going to be a doozy. OK. Number 10 marijuana stuffed inside of a jar of peanut butter and actual regional airport at number nine knife in a shoe in Williamsburg

148
00:28:23,820 --> 00:28:32,820

00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:44,820
I number seven butcher knife in a laptop in Seattle Tacoma International Airport and number six vape inside of a tube of toothpaste Chicago Midway International Airport

150
00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:49,820

151
00:28:49,820 --> 00:29:01,820
Yeah that's a Portland International Airport and number four meth inside crutches at Portsmouth International Airport at number three live snakes in a passenger's pants.

152
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:10,820
Hold on. What kind of work. Hold on. Hopefully it wasn't a trouser snake. That was Miami International Airport and number two replica explosives made out of a walkie talkie.

153
00:29:10,820 --> 00:29:23,820
That was a new Paso International Airport and at the number one spot inside of William Hobby Airport just in case that is in good old Houston.

154
00:29:23,820 --> 00:29:38,820
You ready. A gun in a baby stroller. Yeah you have to leave it there in regards of things going on because what else would you expect because hey that's this kind of the stuff that happens from time to time I guess.

155
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:43,820
So there you go. What a crazy time.

156
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:58,820
Anyway take a listen to this the stock markets were closed on Thursday as part of the National Day of Mourning declared for the death of former president Jimmy Carter West Texas Intermediate closed at seventy four dollars a barrel and Brent crude was at seventy seven dollars a barrel.

157
00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:13,820
The national average price of a gallon of gas was three dollars and six cents on Thursday and Bitcoin slid and continue our slide continued on Thursday down nearly 3 percent trading just around ninety two thousand three hundred.

158
00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:30,820
Tonight's mega million drawing will be for seventy seven million dollar jackpot or thirty four point one million dollar cash payouts 80 nights Powerball drawing will be for two hundred sixty three million dollar jackpot or one hundred and seventeen point seven million dollar cash payout.

159
00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:43,820
If you want to play the game you have the opportunity to do so anyway listen to this Pam Anderson says that her relationship with ex Tommy Lee has gone has has grown cold. I mean if you're not together wouldn't it be cold.

160
00:30:43,820 --> 00:30:54,820
She told Andy Cohen on his satellite radio show that we used to talk a lot more not recently unfortunately but you know I wish that we did have a better report right now.

161
00:30:54,820 --> 00:31:05,820
She added that her younger son who shares with Lee is engaged and they're both be grandparents on a on a hopeful note she said I'll be okay.

162
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:12,820
Eventually it's just a kind of of a moment right now. This is according to page six.

163
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:26,820
I mean I don't know of a lot of people sustaining a relationship with their ex after they're no longer together especially in the way that they were no longer together. I mean I'm just saying so I don't know.

164
00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:43,820
There's something to think about anyway. Listen to this one after quitting alcohol in January of twenty twenty two Tom Holland set out to create a non alcoholic line so he could still enjoy some brews with friends last October he announced his brand Barrow would soon be released this week.

165
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:49,820
It was revealed that Holland's new brew will be available for purchase at Target stores nationwide.

166
00:31:49,820 --> 00:32:00,820
This is according to People magazine. Is that really a thing. I didn't realize that people did that that people drink non alcoholic beers like I kind of could slightly confused.

167
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:04,820
Like I kind of feel that it defeats the purpose of drinking.

168
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:17,820
But I mean if you're trying to blend in I guess you do you I mean do whatever the hell you need to do. So there you go. Anyways 32 minutes past the top of the hour normally we would do a main story but it is free form Friday so let's go.

169
00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:32,820
Here is the news on the road to our safety show story news in New Delhi. I'm Ashant Garg Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky says that some four thousand North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded while fighting alongside Russian troops against Ukraine.

170
00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:37,820
He added that Russia turning to North Korea shows the weakness of President Vladimir Putin.

171
00:32:37,820 --> 00:32:48,820
Rebecca Bundon reports Zelensky made the comments while addressing an international conference at a US base in western Germany which brought together delegates from Europe and the US.

172
00:32:48,820 --> 00:33:01,820
He was referring to North Korean soldiers fighting in the western Russian region of Kursk where Ukraine's military has been launching a cross border incursion saying that thousands of North Korean soldiers have been killed or injured so far.

173
00:33:01,820 --> 00:33:18,820
This comes as there are growing concerns among western countries about Russia's strengthening relationship with North Korea and after North Korea earlier this week launched a missile test which it said was a new hypersonic intermediate range missile designed to strike remote targets in the Pacific.

174
00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:29,820
Rebecca Bund in Tokyo. Chinese President Xi Jinping will send a high level envoy in his place to US President elect Donald Trump's inauguration according to the Financial Times newspaper.

175
00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:41,820
Trump had extended the invitation to see but experts said it would have been unprecedented for a leader of China to attend a US presidential inauguration and called it political theater.

176
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:53,820
Laura Westbrook has more. According to the report Beijing said the high level official would attend the inauguration on January 20th instead of President Xi Jinping and would hold talks with China's team.

177
00:33:53,820 --> 00:34:02,820
The official could be Hong Chung a vice president who sometimes stands in for Xi in ceremonial roles while another option was foreign minister Wang Yi.

178
00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:15,820
The report said some Trump advisors wanted Xi of member of the Politburo standing committee seen as wielding much more power than Hong and Wang in his capacity as Xi's right hand man.

179
00:34:15,820 --> 00:34:16,820
Laura Westbrook Hong Kong.

180
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:25,820
The United Nations is warning more than one hundred and twenty five thousand Syrian refugees are facing desperate conditions as they return to their home country.

181
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:39,820
The UN's refugee agency UNHCR says many people have arrived back in Syria following last month's fall of the Assad regime but families find themselves with little shelter and few economic prospects.

182
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:42,820
Sally Patterson reports from New York.

183
00:34:42,820 --> 00:34:49,820
More than a million refugees have flowed back into the country but what they face there is hardly a dream come true.

184
00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:58,820
Syria's brutal war has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis. UN figures show nearly 15 million Syrians require health services.

185
00:34:58,820 --> 00:35:05,820
Thirteen million face acute food insecurity and many have no shelter while battling winter conditions.

186
00:35:05,820 --> 00:35:13,820
United Nations officials say they need seventy three point two million dollars over the next six months to support displaced people.

187
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:16,820
Officials are calling on the international community to act.

188
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:19,820
Warning it's time now to turn words into actions.

189
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:22,820
With FSN Spotlight I'm Simon Marks.

190
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:30,820
Today will the devastating wildfires in California have an impact on the debate over climate change in the United States.

191
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:41,820
No president has prioritized the battle against global warming like Joe Biden and equally few political leaders have been as dismissive of the threat it presents like Donald Trump.

192
00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:46,820
If you ask the American public an overwhelming majority believe that climate change is happening.

193
00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:56,820
Former Obama administration official Nat Kehone heads the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions which promotes a more rapid move to net zero.

194
00:35:56,820 --> 00:36:01,820
Climate is polarized just like almost everything is right now in American politics on the Democratic side.

195
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:06,820
You have overwhelming majorities of Democratic voters who say this is a top priority.

196
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:12,820
In 2020 Joe Biden was elected in part on the strength of his commitments on climate change.

197
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:16,820
So you have a Democratic party that sees this where the voters see this as a priority.

198
00:36:16,820 --> 00:36:21,820
I think many of the voters on the Republican side also understand the importance of climate change.

199
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:24,820
It's the leadership. It's not everybody in the Republican Party.

200
00:36:24,820 --> 00:36:28,820
We're an organization that looks to work with folks in both parties.

201
00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:32,820
There are Republican members of Congress who understand the importance of climate.

202
00:36:32,820 --> 00:36:36,820
But the leadership and certainly Donald Trump is not among them.

203
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:47,820
The president-elect has so far blamed Governor Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, for the crisis and has shown no indication of embracing the view that global warming has played a role.

204
00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:50,820
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

Ishan Garg reporting.

213
00:37:47,820 --> 00:37:58,820
I also bet that when you get someone drowning on about a topic using these tools, you probably zone out.

214
00:37:58,820 --> 00:38:00,820

215
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:02,820
I mean, it is a reality of what happens.

216
00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:07,820

We are now video streaming the Rated R safety show.

228
00:39:05,820 --> 00:39:08,820
I don't know why our host has a face for radio.

229
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:11,820
Rated R safety show.

230
00:39:11,820 --> 00:39:19,820
It's a new year, but it's feeling harder than ever to find and hire qualified people you need, especially for small businesses.

231
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:21,820
That's where LinkedIn job comes in.

232
00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:28,820
They make it easier to find people you want to talk to faster and for free.

233

You can create a free job post in minutes on LinkedIn jobs to reach your network and beyond to the world's largest professional network of over 770 million people.

234
00:39:39,820 --> 00:39:49,820
Focus on candidates with just the right skills and experience and use screening questions to get your role in front of the most qualified people.

235
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:57,820
Then use the simple tools on LinkedIn jobs to quickly filter and prioritize who would you like to interview and hire.

236
00:39:57,820 --> 00:40:04,820
It's why small businesses rate LinkedIn jobs number one in delivering qualified hires versus leading competitors.

237
00:40:04,820 --> 00:40:10,820
I have to tell you that we have used LinkedIn jobs to even find some of the people that we have here at safety.

238
00:40:10,820 --> 00:40:15,820
I found LinkedIn jobs can help you find the candidates you want to talk to faster.

239
00:40:15,820 --> 00:40:24,820
Did you know that every week, nearly 40 million job seekers visit LinkedIn, post your jobs for free on LinkedIn dot com slash safety FM.

240
00:40:24,820 --> 00:40:33,820

241
00:40:33,820 --> 00:40:40,820

242
00:40:40,820 --> 00:40:42,820
Listen to your own risk.

Rated R safety show.

244
00:40:45,820 --> 00:40:58,820
It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're in and cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system.

245
00:40:58,820 --> 00:41:03,820
If you don't own a home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you.

246
00:41:03,820 --> 00:41:12,820
But if you own a home like me and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home title fraud, one of the fastest growing crimes.

247
00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:18,820
Cyber thieves around the world know our home values are sky high at the moment.

248
00:41:18,820 --> 00:41:20,820
And that makes us a target.

249
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:21,820
The crime is scary.

250
00:41:21,820 --> 00:41:22,820
Simple.

251
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:23,820
Let me explain it to you real quick.

252
00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:29,820
A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property cell form and refiles it.

253
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:31,820
That's it.

254
00:41:31,820 --> 00:41:37,820
Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you have no idea that you're a victim.

255
00:41:37,820 --> 00:41:44,820
Then the version takes out a loan on your home and vanishes and you to the police that you didn't commit bank fraud.

256
00:41:44,820 --> 00:41:48,820
Home title locks put a virtual barrier around your home title.

257
00:41:48,820 --> 00:41:54,820
The instant they detect any kind of tampering or anybody messing around, they help shut it down.

258
00:41:54,820 --> 00:41:59,820
Look, if you have equity in your home, you need to guard it the best way that you can.

259
00:41:59,820 --> 00:42:02,820
Some people might even go as far as guarding it with their life.

260
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:10,820
Go to home title lock dot com and register your address to see if you already are a victim and enter the code radio.

280
00:43:58,820 --> 00:44:10,820
And come midnight, set it on fire, set it on fire. Oh, set it on fire, set it on fire.

281
00:44:10,820 --> 00:44:17,820
And come midnight, set it on fire, set it on fire. Oh, set it on fire, set it on fire.

282
00:44:17,820 --> 00:44:23,820
The lighting's on the wall, don't hold your breath too long.

283
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:28,820
I need a hand to hold before we turn to stone.

284
00:44:28,820 --> 00:44:34,820
Okay, you are still hanging out here on the Rated R Safety Show, no doubt there.

285

290
00:45:17,820 --> 00:45:26,820
Yep, we would like to thank Sanks of Valerie for allowing us to play this here on the Rated R Safety Show.

291
00:45:26,820 --> 00:45:29,820

That is for sure. So thanks for hanging out with us on this lovely Friday.

293
00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:38,820

304
00:46:25,820 --> 00:46:30,820
Anyways, let's talk about some other stuff that's going on inside of the world because that is what we do.

305
00:46:30,820 --> 00:46:34,820
Let's talk about some new movies coming out. Take a listen to this.

306
00:46:34,820 --> 00:46:42,820
The Last Showgirl, Glamour Showgirl, must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after 30 years.

307
00:46:42,820 --> 00:46:47,820
That one comes out today. It is rated R and considered a drama.

308
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:58,820
The Den of Thieves 2, Pantera, a big-knit closing in on Donny who is embroiled in the treacherous world of diamond thieves.

309
00:46:58,820 --> 00:47:02,820
The infamous Panther Mafia as they plot the massive heist.

310
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:04,820
That comes out today. Rated R as well.

311
00:47:04,820 --> 00:47:13,820
Also, Better Man based on the true story of the erotic rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop star Robbie Williams.

312
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:20,820
That one's rated R as well. Comes out today. So there you go. Some stuff for the movies if you're so inclined to do so.

313
00:47:20,820 --> 00:47:25,820
Also take a listen to this. This is the month that thousands of people dread.

314
00:47:25,820 --> 00:47:31,820
And it's not because the Christmas credit card bills are coming. It's the Dry January.

315
00:47:31,820 --> 00:47:36,820
When many challenge themselves to lay off the booze for the entire month.

316
00:47:36,820 --> 00:47:45,820
The Dry January challenge started back in 2013 when a charity in the UK decided to get people involved in creating a healthier relationship with alcohol.

317
00:47:45,820 --> 00:47:52,820
But Dry January may prove to be not very difficult at all because many people are already drinking less.

318
00:47:52,820 --> 00:47:59,820
US stats show that per capita alcohol consumption has dropped to its lowest level since 2002.

319
00:47:59,820 --> 00:48:02,820
And it's younger people who are leading the way.

320
00:48:02,820 --> 00:48:10,820
The share of 18 to 34 year olds who say that they drink it all has fallen by 10 percent in the last two decades.

321
00:48:10,820 --> 00:48:18,820
And Dry January is more popular than ever with web searches for the term in the first week of 2024.

322
00:48:18,820 --> 00:48:22,820
Doubling compared to a year earlier.

323
00:48:22,820 --> 00:48:30,820
And alcohol sales at three major US liquor chains plunged by 52 percent in the week of January last year.

324
00:48:30,820 --> 00:48:38,820
In fact, this month many bars are now offering special mocktails and other promotions just to get people in the door.

325
00:48:38,820 --> 00:48:45,820
So it turns out that Dry January doesn't mean that you're only supposed to drink Chardonnay.

326
00:48:45,820 --> 00:48:53,820
Who knew? But who did someone really have to come up with the way to make this month seem less even longer?

327
00:48:53,820 --> 00:48:57,820
I mean, I don't know. I look at it from the standpoint of it's kind of weird.

328
00:48:57,820 --> 00:49:00,820
So you want to have a better relationship with alcohol.

329
00:49:00,820 --> 00:49:05,820
So the determination was not to have alcohol at all.

330
00:49:05,820 --> 00:49:07,820
I mean, that's different. I mean, don't get me wrong.

331
00:49:07,820 --> 00:49:12,820
I'm not saying it's good, bad or other things, but man, it gets kind of a story.

332
00:49:12,820 --> 00:49:16,820
It gets kind of to Strangeland when it's all said and done.

333
00:49:16,820 --> 00:49:21,820
So Dry January is the way that we're taking a look there.

334
00:49:21,820 --> 00:49:22,820
So there you go.

335
00:49:22,820 --> 00:49:27,820
Some stuff to talk about, some stuff to think about, some stuff to lean into.

336
00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:29,820
No doubt about that.

337
00:49:29,820 --> 00:49:34,820
Anyways, with that being said, I think it's time to bring in one of our favorite people.

338
00:49:34,820 --> 00:49:42,820
And let's bring in some John Smalls into our life and let him talk a little bit about what the hell is going on with the motivation minute.

339
00:49:42,820 --> 00:49:48,820
Because man, I will tell you, John is the guy that gets us all motivated around here because, you know,

340
00:49:48,820 --> 00:49:52,820
he just has a totally different approach on life in regards of what's going on.

341
00:49:52,820 --> 00:49:54,820
And I like it. So let's do this.

342
00:49:54,820 --> 00:49:58,820
Let's go and bring John in right now.

Today's quote was submitted by Jason.

345
00:50:08,820 --> 00:50:14,820
Larry Ellison said, both my mother and I were determined that we weren't going to stay on welfare.

346
00:50:14,820 --> 00:50:17,820
We always work toward doing better, toward having a better life.

347
00:50:17,820 --> 00:50:19,820
We never had any doubts that we would.

348
00:50:19,820 --> 00:50:21,820
What an amazing success story.

349
00:50:21,820 --> 00:50:23,820
Larry is an American businessman and entrepreneur.

350
00:50:23,820 --> 00:50:26,820
He co-founded the software company Oracle Corporation.

351
00:50:26,820 --> 00:50:32,820
His net worth is estimated by Forbes to be about two hundred and nine point six billion U.S. dollars.

352
00:50:32,820 --> 00:50:35,820
Not bad for a kid who grew up with a mom on welfare.

353
00:50:35,820 --> 00:50:38,820
Now, how about you think of what you can do?

354
00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:43,820
No matter where you start in life, you can make a difference and you can finish well.

355
00:50:43,820 --> 00:50:45,820
The motivation.

Hello, I'm Richard Exley with your one minute devotion.

360
00:51:03,820 --> 00:51:13,820
I sometimes have a hard time believing that the words I say to God in private can affect the rise and fall of governments and the course of history.

361
00:51:13,820 --> 00:51:19,820
I choose to believe prayer has that kind of power because the Bible says it does.

362
00:51:19,820 --> 00:51:22,820
And history has shown it to be true.

363
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:24,820
But it's not easy.

364
00:51:24,820 --> 00:51:34,820
My prayers often feel small and irrelevant, more like an exercise in futility than a world shaping joint venture with God.

365
00:51:34,820 --> 00:51:43,820
Reminding myself that when you fill a pond with rock, that the first 100 loads disappear beneath the surface of the water helps some.

366
00:51:43,820 --> 00:51:45,820
But I still struggle.

367
00:51:45,820 --> 00:51:50,820
Lord, help our prayers to be fervent and effective.

368
00:51:50,820 --> 00:51:52,820
Amen.

00:54:24,820 --> 00:54:30,820
The disclosure was made as prosecutors opposed Santos' request to postpone his sentencing, scheduled for February 7th.

386
00:54:30,820 --> 00:54:40,820
They argued against the delay, asserting that the numerous victims of Santos' criminal schemes and the community writ large have a strong collective interest in the expeditious resolution of this case.

387
00:54:40,820 --> 00:54:46,820
Santos pleaded guilty in August to charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Kevin Sanders reporting.

399
00:56:36,820 --> 00:56:44,820
Anyways, if you need a random joke for today, if you're having second thoughts, you're too ahead of most people.

400
00:56:44,820 --> 00:56:56,820
Yep, I said that. If you need a phone star for today, try this. If you're magically turned into your eight year old self, what activity would you be most looking forward to this weekend?

401
00:56:56,820 --> 00:57:03,820
But would that be with the knowledge base that I have now or just going back to eight period and we're just running with it? I mean, that's maybe that's a different question.

402
00:57:03,820 --> 00:57:15,820
Okay, if you need a question for the water cola, try this. A survey found. This is the number one thing in our home that we have too many of. What is it?

403
00:57:15,820 --> 00:57:22,820
Clothes hangers. My wife would probably say black shirts, but that's a whole other story when it's all said and done.

404
00:57:22,820 --> 00:57:29,820
Okay, so that's it. That's going to sum up our time together at the top of the hour. I will be going over to radio big FM.

405
00:57:29,820 --> 00:57:35,820
If you want to come and hang out with me for the next couple hours or so as we talk about the world of music and entertainment, if you don't, that's perfectly fine.

406
00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:42,820
You can hang on on safety FM with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting.

407
00:57:42,820 --> 00:57:46,820
So there you go. Thank you for always being the best part of safety FM and radio big.

408
00:57:46,820 --> 00:57:50,820
And that is the listener, because without you, it makes no sense to do what we do around here.

409
00:57:50,820 --> 00:57:53,820
If I can't leave you with a deep thought for today, I would love to leave you with this one.

410
00:57:53,820 --> 00:58:03,820
If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past. Do not worry about the future. Focus on living fully in the present.

411
00:58:03,820 --> 00:58:08,820
So there you go. That's something to think about. Anyways, I know who you are.

412
00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:12,820
You know who I am. Love you. Mean it. And goodbye.
