12
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Doctor. It doesn't matter who the host is. Oh, you know it and so do I. It does not matter who the host

13
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,400
is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are. Anyways, I hope everything is good and grand

14
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,840
inside of your neck of the woods. Today is Thursday, January the 16th of 2025, day 16th of the year,

15
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:50,200
and only 345 days left to go. We are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida,

16
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,640
and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and hanging out with our friends and colleagues

17
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:10,440
over the. Oh yes, hanging out with our friends at Biggest Radio, Radio Biggith. You get it,

18
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,680
you know, radio big. You know what I'm saying. So a lot of stuff going on over the last 24 hours.

19
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,760
We are probably going to do some different stuff today. Just so you know ahead of time. So I could

20
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,120
give you the what's on tab, what the plan is, but I also have some other plans on top of the plan of

21
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:36,120
the plan of the plan. Got it? So if you're good, I'm good and then we can move forward. So let's do

22
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,240
this. Let's talk about some of the things that were trending in the overnight. By the way, I guess

23
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,160
before I tell you that I should tell you that our shows consist of safety in the news, but today

24
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,040
will be a slightly different this kind of how it's going to go today. And then we're going to talk

25
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,600
about what's going on inside of the world of music and entertainment and our two and three.

26
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,440
But this morning, last night, there was a well this morning, we're going to talk about some stuff.

27
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,680
You're going to be able to call in by going through call in radio.com. That's call in radio.com.

28
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Once you get their video, audio and text messaging are some of the options that are available

29
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,480
readily for you. And then from that particular point on, we will be able to do the stuff. Some

30
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,640
people go, why don't you just go through social media? Well, we'll talk about that and why we

31
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,360
don't normally use the social media aspect because I don't pay attention to it in real time. So that's

32
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,960
kind of an issue on me, not on you. So that's part of it. That's part of the, of the gig, if one may

33
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,760
say it that way. So let's do this. Let's talk about what the hell was trending. Cause that's

34
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:46,040
going to be important. Here is one was trending rated R safety show. Okay. So as I take a look at

35
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,640
the trends of the end of the end, a followup with a foul mouth Eagles fan who went viral this week.

36
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,880
We'll talk about that as we get into the shit list. Also did Ryan Reynolds create a character

37
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:03,960
to mock Justin Baldoni? Find out more in showbiz. Also the critics choice award gets postponed again

38
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,400
in the Oscars may be axed. Yeah. Not a joke. And then Britain's Harry returns again to the UK

39
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,880
to talk about what the hell was going on inside of the Royals. So we're going to do a slew of

40
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,080
stuff today. I don't know if I have enough time to do it all, but we're going to figure this out.

41
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,480
So we're going to drop into some things sooner rather than later. So let's go ahead and get into

42
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,160
the news right now. Cause I think you want to get, you're going to want to know about what the hell

43
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:47,720
is going on there. Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Ollie

44
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,920
Barrett Qatar, the U S and Egypt say they'll work together to ensure Israel and Hamas full

45
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,760
fill their obligations for a ceasefire in Gaza. A deal was reached after 15 months of war and is

46
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,200
due to come into effect on Sunday. The three phase agreement involves the release of hostages by

47
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Hamas and Israeli forces withdrawing from populated areas of Gaza. Former UK Middle East

48
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,920
minister Alastair Burt says it's a moment for caution. It's not the end of the matter. Ending

49
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,880
the conflict in Gaza is not a peace deal for what has been going on between the Palestinians and

50
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,520
the Israelis. There's much more to be done, but you take what you have. And for those who have been

51
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,200
most closely involved, they will welcome the opportunity of relief. It's a victory for no

52
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,720
one. It's been a catastrophe from October the seventh onwards. The reason for the reluctance

53
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,880
in Israel is probably because there is more doubt in Israel about the deal than anywhere else.

54
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,000
US president Joe Biden warned an oligarchy is forming in America as he cautioned against the

55
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,280
concentration of technology, power and wealth in his farewell speech to the nation. He also

56
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,280
hailed his administration's accomplishments during the address from the Oval Office,

57
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:02,920
as Kate Fisher reports from Washington. He spent some of the speech trying to define his presidential

58
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:09,320
legacy, speaking about some of his achievements like investment in infrastructure and fighting

59
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:16,200
climate change. But also in a departure from that, he spent most of his speech trying to

60
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,520
defend US democracy and talk about the importance of it and the importance of protecting it. There

61
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:29,800
were several warnings within this speech, one of which he spoke about a growing oligarchy,

62
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,680
the concentration of very wealthy, many billionaires, in fact, that surrounds President

63
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:44,360
elect Donald Trump warning of having that much power and wealth concentrated in just a few people.

64
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,480
South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yul is being questioned by investigators for a second

65
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,480
day after his arrest on Wednesday. Rebecca Budden reports. South Korean media reports that impeached

66
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,200
President Yoon refused to answer questions and will face a second day of questioning in relation

67
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,640
to the criminal insurrection probe. This follows his short-lived imposition of martial law last

68
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,840
month, which pushed the country into political turmoil, and after which lawmakers voted to

69
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:17,320
impeach him. Authorities have 48 hours to question Yoon, after which they have to seek a warrant to

70
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:23,000
detain him further. Separately, the Constitutional Court is looking at whether to uphold Yoon's

71
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,320
impeachment and permanently remove him from office. Rebecca Budden, Tokyo. Volunteers say they think

72
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,520
no more illegal miners are trapped underground at the site of a rescue in South Africa. At least

73
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,640
78 bodies and more than 200 survivors have been retrieved since Monday at the gold mine in

74
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Stilfontein. From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks with more now

75
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,800
on the ceasefire agreement struck by Israel and Hamas. Phase one of the agreement is designed to

76
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,520
last six weeks and will include the release of more than 30 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza,

77
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,720
the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel, and the arrival of hundreds

78
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:12,440
of trucks carrying urgently needed humanitarian aid into Gaza. Alan Lee Green is the founder and

79
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:18,120
co-director of Standing Together, a Jewish-Arab grassroots movement campaigning for peace.

80
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,920
He argues the agreement could have been struck months ago. This is a moment to rejoice, this is

81
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,480
a moment to be happy. It's an achievement because our government does not want this ceasefire

82
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,440
agreement. It did everything they can to prevent it. Yesterday we heard the Minister Ben-Gvir

83
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,320
praising himself saying that he prevented this deal again and again and again. So we are happy

84
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,760
tonight but we're still saying this is not the end of our struggle for permanent ceasefire, for

85
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,800
wholesome deal to bring back all the hostages because we will not be silent, we will not stop

86
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,400
until we will see everyone coming back to their homes, hostages, Palestinians, soldiers. It is a

87
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,360
moment to say yes we achieved something but it's not enough. He says it was pressure from President

88
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Elect Donald Trump that forced the Israeli government and Hamas to accept the deal but

89
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,720
whether it leads to a permanent ceasefire and new dispensation in Gaza remains an open question.

90
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:18,120
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. To recap the top stories, Qatar, the US and Egypt say they'll

91
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,880
work together to ensure Israel and Hamas fulfil obligations for a ceasefire. US President Biden's

92
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,240
warned an oligarchy is forming in the US in a farewell speech to the nation. South Korea's

93
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,880
impeached President Eun Suk Yeol is being questioned by investigators for a second day

94
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,040
and volunteers say they think no more illegal minors are trapped underground at the site of

95
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,320
a rescue in South Africa. That's the latest Feature Story News, Oli Barrett reporting.

115
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Okay, here we go. 13 minutes past the top of the hour as we are hanging out. So like I said,

116
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,400
a lot of stuff to talk about today. So let's get into it. The follow up to the foul mouth Eagles

117
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:17,880
fan Ryan Cardell has been fired from his job and has apologized for his gameplay taunts or game day

118
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,520
taunts that were captured on video and swiftly went viral in a statement to the New York post.

119
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Cardwell said that it's in part what he began as a banter with two Packer fans sitting near the

120
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,840
escalator, the escalator, escalator, something more serious. And I said things that weren't,

121
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,720
that were unacceptable in the heat of the moment. I chose unforgiving words to address

122
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:47,160
one of the fans, Miss Ali Keller. He's specifically apologized to just about everyone,

123
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,600
including his wife, family and friends by former my former employee colleagues, Packer fans,

124
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,560
Eagle fans, Philadelphia Eagles, the city of Philadelphia, and those who were offended,

125
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:05,160
but wait, Caldwell's country contrition doesn't come without caveats though. He adds the video

126
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,840
clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what had transpired. And my actions

127
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,760
were not without provocation. Keller and her, and her fiance have spoken with local media outlets

128
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:22,600
and did admit to a bit of a back and forth, but said that Caldwell's behavior got worse after they

129
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:30,280
tried to defuse the tension. This is according to the New York post and TMZ. So let's just kind of

130
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:37,320
be clear. Don't go to a sporting game and act like an asshole. I think that's kind of simple.

131
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Just not that difficult to do. You're going to watch a sporting game. People are not going to

132
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,600
agree with what you like. People are not going to agree. You know, you don't have to like the same

133
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,480
team and listen, there's no point of the whole thing. It's not like it's your team. It is some

134
00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:00,520
team that plays. And at the end of the day, it has no importance to your life. Seriously.

135
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Anyways, a Colton 9, 11.45 caliber or 44 caliber pistol that was owned by mobster Al Capone is now

136
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:17,160
on display at the mob museum in Las Vegas as part of the new exhibit, the first public enemy. In

137
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,080
addition to the gun, the short, the short home movie from the 1929 is featured in the clip and

138
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Capone stays behind the camera by two as well known associates, Lucky Luciano and Frankie Castello

139
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:37,080
make an appearance. Capone's granddaughter. Yes, Diane Capone Petty donated the item to the museum.

140
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,880
But this is according to AP. So there you go. Also bad bunny is the first Latin artist to have

141
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:50,520
a hundred careers, hot 100 hits, thank to his latest studio album, David, the dad, most photos,

142
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,880
the album, which launched at number two on the billboard, 200 had 17 tracks on the billboard,

143
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:03,560
hot 100 leading to new avoid a 27 at the bill on the billboard. So there you go. Also Kylie

144
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Jenner's X Travis rapper, Travis Scott dropped $160,000 on a custom, a Pockle, a Pockle,

145
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,280
a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle,

146
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Omega Rex truck. Why does the Kylie Jenner portion play? I don't know. The limited edition Hemi,

147
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:27,000
a hell, a helicat V8 horsepower truck were created to doomsday ready. 717 horsepower,

148
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:34,760
four 40 inch tires, 22 inch rims and a custom fit. No word whether or not the whip has room for

149
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:41,960
two car seats for Scott and Jenner's two kids. Why in the hell is this even a news story? Maybe

150
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,920
that's the other, the other question there. Anyways, with the Supreme court's decision on

151
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,120
tick tock fade in limbo, the apps management has told the employees that they can continue to count

152
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,120
to count on keeping their jobs in a memo circulated and employees that obtained by

153
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,800
the company promises that you'll have an employment pay and benefits are secure and our offices will

154
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,480
remain open even if the situation hasn't been resolved before January the 19th deadline.

155
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Worth noting though, even if the app ceases operations in the United States, it still does

156
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,560
function function internationally despite the high demand investors expressing interest in

157
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,720
purchasing the app. The Chinese parent company ByteDance says that once the band goes into

158
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,480
effect, users will see a screen with information about the restrictions. Also worth noting the text

159
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,640
of the band specifically only restricts new app downloads, but tick tock has publicly said that

160
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:47,800
it will shut down, shut down off completely access. Yes, so you'll have no access in the United

161
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:54,680
States and president Joe Biden per the law has the ability to extend the deadline for another 90 days,

162
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,840
but must act before January the 19th. So I don't know. I look at this from a weird standpoint.

163
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:09,960
So if you have something that you're trying to ban because you're saying that the Chinese

164
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Communist Party is having access to the data and people are pissed off about it, that you're shutting

165
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:26,680
down a platform because potentially there's about 220,000 people that that's their source of income

166
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600
and other people are just looking at it for the sake of looking at it.

167
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:40,840
What's more important national security or the 220,000 people? I'm just asking because I need

168
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,080
to have a better understanding here because is something else going to rise up? Now there has

169
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:54,840
been some rumors circulating that Mr. Beast has some investor billionaire investors that are willing

170
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,720
to buy the app. I've also heard that Kevin O'Leary has some people that are interested. So we'll see

171
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:06,600
what happens there. Okay. Take a listen to this in the wake of the widespread soft on crime policies

172
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,000
that swept the nation in the recent years. Walgreens notoriously put merchandise behind lock and key

173
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,960
to prevent burglaries at high risk areas. The company CEO, Tim Wentworth, says that the policy

174
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,160
ended up being a double-edged sword. When you lock things up, you don't sell as many of them.

175
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,160
And we kind of proven that pretty consecutively, he said in an earnings call this week. While the

176
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:37,640
measure to prevent the theft from the stores, they also deter shoppers from bothering in the

177
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:45,640
first place. Year over year, Walgreens saw quarterly losses to get six times worse from $39 million

178
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:53,400
to $245 million. At the end of 2024, the ominous sales figures come ahead of plans of closing

179
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,920
hundreds of stores this year, according to CBS. You would have thought you would have removed that

180
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,800
stuff. I mean, I'm just saying, okay, so let's do one more real quick. And then we'll get into this.

181
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:11,160
A United flight had had to abort the takeoff this week when the landing gear hit a coyote on the

182
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:18,760
runway. The plan bound for Arizona turned back for inspection and had all the passengers deep plane

183
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:25,240
for another aircraft. Local media points out that the airline did not provide any specific details

184
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,600
about the coyote. Very luckily dead status, of course. The incident follows a bizarre scene

185
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:38,360
from Monday when the police were called to the Chicago area at Aldi to put another or was it the

186
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:46,680
same coyote out of the refrigerated refrigeration section. So there you go. Let's do what, let's do

187
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,960
the numbers real quick. The Dow increased by 703 points to close at 43,221 on Wednesday and the S&P

188
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:04,760
increased by let's see 107 points to close at 5949. And the NASDAQ added 466 points to close at

189
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:13,560
19,511. West Texas intermediate close at $80 a barrel and Brent crude was at $82 a barrel.

190
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,560
The national average price of a gallon of gas was $3.08 on Wednesday and Bitcoin

191
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:24,920
climbed up on Wednesday. Just over 3% flirting again with $100,000. Friday night's mega million

192
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:32,040
drawing will be for $113 million jackpot, a $49.2 million cash payout. So if you want to play the game,

193
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,720
let's go ahead and have you do that. No doubt there. So there you go. Something to think about,

194
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:43,480
something to think about for sure when it's all set and done. So we're going to do something

195
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,800
slightly different today because that is what we do. Cause why keep it all, you know, stagnant if

196
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:57,080
we have, we don't have to. Here is our main story on the rated R safety show. Okay. So let's talk

197
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:03,160
about this. We're going into main story, but it's not going to be my main story. What we are going

198
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:12,200
to do is that last night, if you did not hear it, there was the farewell address, the farewell

199
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:22,840
address by the president of the United States. He gave his final speech of what exactly was going on

200
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:29,720
inside of the way that he's seeing the world and the way that his administration is leaving. So

201
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,960
with that being said, this is what I would like to do today. I am going to play the full speech.

202
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,360
So I know that some people will like it. Some people will not. That's just kind of the way that

203
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,800
it goes, but I kind of figure, you know, next week we're going to be doing some different things too

204
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,840
with the new president coming in. So let's talk real quick about all of that stuff. So if you're

205
00:22:52,840 --> 00:23:00,920
ready, I'm ready and we're going to go ahead and do that speech right now. So sit back, relax,

206
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:08,040
and take a listen to what the president had to say for his final address to the nation from

207
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:15,320
the oval office. So let's go ahead and do that right now. My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to

208
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,560
you tonight from the office. Before I began, let me speak to important news that from earlier today,

209
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:29,960
after eight months of nonstop negotiation, my administration, by my administration, a ceasefire

210
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:35,880
and a hostage deal has been reached by Israel and Hamas, the elements of which I laid out in

211
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:43,720
great detail in May of this year. This plan was developed and negotiated by my team and will be

212
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:49,560
largely implemented by the incoming administration. That's why I told my team to keep the incoming

213
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:55,800
administration fully informed, because that's how it should be, working together as Americans.

214
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,960
This will be my final address to you from the American people from the Oval Office,

215
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:06,120
from this desk as president. And I've been thinking a lot about who we are and maybe more

216
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:13,960
importantly, who we should be. Long ago in New York Harbor, an iron worker installed beam after

217
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:21,720
beam, day after day. He was joined by steel workers, stonemasons, engineers. They built not

218
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:28,680
just a single structure, but a beacon of freedom. The very idea of America was so big,

219
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,600
we felt the entire world needed to see. The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France after our civil war.

220
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Like the very idea of America, it was built not by one person, but by many people, from every

221
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:50,440
background and from around the world. Like America, the Statue of Liberty is not standing still.

222
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Her foot literally steps forward atop a broken chain of human bondage. She's on the march,

223
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:04,440
and she literally moves. She was built to sway back and forth to withstand the fury of stormy

224
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,920
weather, to stand the test of time because storms are always coming. She sways a few inches,

225
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:17,240
but she never falls into the current below. An engineering marvel. The Statue of Liberty is also

226
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:23,800
an enduring symbol of the soul of our nation. A soul shaped by forces that bring us together

227
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,400
and by forces that pull us apart. And yet through good times and tough times, we've

228
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:37,720
astute it all. A nation of pioneers and explorers, of dreamers and doers, of ancestors

229
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,040
native to this land, of ancestors that came by force. A nation of immigrants came to build a

230
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:51,720
better life. A nation holding the torch of the most powerful idea ever in the history of the world.

231
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,600
That all of us, all of us are created equal. That all of us deserve to be treated with dignity,

232
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:09,960
justice and fairness. That democracy must defend and be defined and be imposed, moved,

233
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:17,880
and be imposed, moved in every way possible. Our rights, our freedoms, our dreams.

234
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:25,160
But we know the idea of America, our institution, our people, our values that uphold it,

235
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,400
are constantly being tested. Ongoing debates about power and the exercise of power.

236
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:39,080
But whether we lead by the example of our power or the power of our example, whether we show the

237
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:46,040
courage to stand up to the abuse of power or we yield to it. After 50 years at the center of all

238
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:53,080
of this, I know that believing in the idea of America means respecting the institutions that

239
00:26:53,080 --> 00:27:02,040
govern a free society. The presidency, the Congress, the courts, a free and independent press.

240
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:08,520
Institutions that are rooted, not, they just might not reflect the timeless words, but they

241
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:16,120
echo the words of the Declaration of Independence. We hold these truths to be self-evident.

242
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:24,680
Rooted in the timeless words of the Constitution, we the people. Our system of separation of powers

243
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:31,000
checks and balances. It may not be perfect, but it's maintained our democracy for nearly two

244
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,560
hundred and fifty years, longer than any other nation in history that's ever tried such a bold

245
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:45,000
experiment. In the past four years, our democracy has held strong. And every day I've kept my

246
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,440
commitment to be president for all Americans. Through one of the toughest periods in our nation's

247
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:56,920
history, I've had a great partner and Vice President Kamala Harris spend the honor of my life

248
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,960
to see the resilience of essential workers getting this through once in a century pandemic.

249
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,080
The heroism of service members and first responders keeping us safe.

250
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,960
The determination of advocates standing up for our rights and our freedoms instead of losing their

251
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:20,760
jobs to an economic crisis that we inherited. Millions of Americans now have the dignity of

252
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:27,080
work. Millions of entrepreneurs and companies creating new businesses and industries, hiring

253
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:34,120
American workers, using American products. Together, we've launched a new era of American

254
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:39,400
possibilities. One of the greatest modernizations of infrastructure in our entire history,

255
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,720
from new roads, bridges, clean water, affordable high speed Internet for every American.

256
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:51,560
Affordable high speed Internet for every American. We invented the semiconductor,

257
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,840
smaller than the tip of my little finger. And now it's bringing those chip factories

258
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:03,000
and those jobs back to America where they belong, creating thousands of jobs. Finally,

259
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,240
giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for millions of seniors.

260
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:15,640
And finally, doing something to protect our children and our families by passing the most

261
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,240
significant gun safety law in 30 years and bringing violent crime to a 50 year low.

262
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:29,240
Meeting our sacred obligation to over one million veterans so far who are exposed to toxic materials

263
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,800
and to their families, providing medical care and education benefits and more for their families.

264
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:43,720
For their families. You know, it will take time to feel the full impact of all we've done together.

265
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,320
But the seeds are planted and they'll grow and they'll bloom for decades to come.

266
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:56,520
At home, we've created nearly 17 million new jobs more than any other single administration,

267
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:03,160
single term. More people have health care than ever before. And overseas, we strengthen NATO.

268
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:09,720
Ukraine is still free. And we pulled ahead of our competition with China and so much more.

269
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,440
I'm so proud of how much we've accomplished together for the American people. And I wish

270
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,680
the incoming administration success because I want America to succeed.

271
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:27,400
That's why I've held my duty to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power,

272
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:33,800
to ensure we lead by the power of our example. I have no doubt that America is in a position

273
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,880
to continue to succeed. That's why my farewell address tonight. I want to warn the country of

274
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,960
some things that give me great concern. This is a dangerous constant and that's the dangerous

275
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:52,680
concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people. The dangerous consequences

276
00:30:52,680 --> 00:31:00,200
if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme

277
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:06,200
wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights

278
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:14,120
and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We see the consequences all across America

279
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,520
and we've seen it before. More than a century ago,

280
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,960
the American people stood up to the robber barons back then and busted the trusts.

281
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,960
They didn't punish the wealthy, just made the wealthy pay by the play by the rules everybody

282
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:37,400
else had. Workers want rights to earn their fair share. You know, they were dealt into the deal

283
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:45,560
and help put us on a path to building the largest middle class, most prosperous century, any nation

284
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:52,360
in the world has ever seen. We've got to do that again. The last four years, that's exactly what

285
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:59,240
we've done. People should be able to make as much as they can, but pay, play by the same rules,

286
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:06,840
pay their fair share of taxes. So much is at stake. Right now, the existential threat of

287
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:13,880
climate change has never been clear. Just look across the country. The world is in a state of

288
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:20,520
chaos. Let's look across the country from California to North Carolina. That's why I signed

289
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,800
the most significant climate and clean energy law ever, ever in the history of the world and

290
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:32,360
the rest of the world trying to model it now. It's working, creating jobs and industries of the

291
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,800
future. Now we've proven we don't have to choose between protecting the environment and growing

292
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:45,160
it. We're doing both. The powerful forces want to wield their unchecked influence to eliminate the

293
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:51,400
steps we've taken to tackle the climate crisis, to serve their own interest for power and profit.

294
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,880
We must not be bullied into sacrificing the future, the future of our children and our

295
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:04,920
grandchildren. We must keep pushing forward and push faster. There's no time to waste.

296
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,880
It's also clear that American leadership and technology is an unparalleled, an unparalleled

297
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:17,800
source of innovation that can transform lives. We see the same dangers of the concentration of

298
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:24,600
technology, power and wealth. You know, as Farewell addressed, President Eisenhower spoke of the

299
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:30,840
dangers of the military industrial complex. He warned us then about, and I quote, the potential

300
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:38,680
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power, end of quote. Six days, six decades later,

301
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:45,560
I'm equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech industrial complex that could pose real

302
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:53,240
dangers for our country as well. Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation

303
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:59,560
and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is going to be the only way to

304
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:06,520
get out of this. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving

305
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:15,320
up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. We must hold

306
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:22,520
the social platform accountable to protect our children, our families and our very democracy

307
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:29,880
and the future of the world. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is most consequential technology of

308
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:37,960
our time, perhaps of all time. Nothing offers more profound possibilities and risks for our economy

309
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:46,520
and our security. Our society, it's a very open for humanity. Artificial intelligence even has

310
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,800
the potential to help us answer my call to end cancer as we know it. But unless safeguards are

311
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:57,800
in place, AI could spawn new threats to our rights, our way of life, to our privacy,

312
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:04,440
how we work and how we protect our nation. We must make sure AI is safe and trustworthy

313
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:13,080
and good for all humankind. In the age of AI, it's more important than ever that the people must

314
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:22,280
govern. And as the land of liberty, America, not China, must lead the world in the development of AI.

315
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:30,920
You know, in the years ahead, it'll help to be, it's going to be up to the president, the presidency,

316
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:37,000
the Congress, the courts, the free press and the American people to confront these powerful forces.

317
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,360
We must reform the tax code, not by giving the biggest tax cuts to billionaires, but by making

318
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:48,040
them begin to pay their fair share. We need to get dark money. That's that hidden funding behind

319
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:54,680
too many campaigns contributions. We need to get it out of our politics. We need to enact an 18-year

320
00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:00,920
time limit, term limit, time and term for the strongest ethics reform and the strongest ethics

321
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:07,080
and the strongest ethics reforms for our Supreme Court. We need to ban members of Congress from

322
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,920
trading stock while they're in the Congress. We need to amend the constitution to make clear that

323
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:18,920
no president, no president is immune from crimes that he or she commits while in office.

324
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,080
The president's power is not limited. It's not absolute. And it shouldn't be.

325
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:31,240
And in a democracy, there's another danger to the concentration of power and wealth.

326
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,120
It erodes a sense of unity and common purpose. It causes distrust and division.

327
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,200
Participating in our democracy becomes exhausting and even disillusioning.

328
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:50,360
People don't feel like they have a fair shot. We have to stay engaged in the process.

329
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:57,560
I know it's frustrating. A fair shot is what makes America America. Everyone's entitled to a fair

330
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:05,000
shot, not a guarantee, but just a fair shot, even playing field, going as far as your hard work and

331
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,640
talent can take you. We can never lose that essential truth. We remain who we are. I've always

332
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:19,000
believed and I've told other world leaders, America can be defined by one word, possibilities.

333
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:25,240
Only in America do we believe anything is possible. Like a kid with a stutter from modest

334
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:31,800
beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Claymont, Delaware, sitting behind this desk in the Oval

335
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,960
Office as President of the United States. That's the magic of America. It's all around us.

336
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,920
Upstairs in the residence of the White House, I've walked by a painting of the Statue of Liberty

337
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:50,200
I don't know how many times. In the painting, there's several workers climbing on the

338
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:58,520
outstretched arm of the statue that holds the torch. It reminds me every day I pass it, of the story

339
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:05,400
and soul of our nation and the power of the American people. There's a story of a veteran,

340
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:11,880
this is a veteran, the son of an immigrant whose job was to climb that torch and polish

341
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:19,240
the amber panes so rays of light could reach out as far as possible. He was known as the keeper of

342
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:27,080
the flame. He once said of the Statue of Liberty, quote, speaks the silent universal language,

343
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:34,520
one of hope that anyone who seeks and speaks freedom can understand. Yes,

344
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,280
we sway back and forth to withstand the fury of the storm.

345
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:45,640
To stand the test of time, a constant struggle, constant struggle, a short distance between peril

346
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:53,160
and possibility. But what I believe is the America of our dreams is always closer than we think.

347
00:38:54,200 --> 00:39:01,720
It's up to us to make our dreams come true. Let me close by stating my gratitude to so many people.

348
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:07,000
To the members of my administration, as well as public service and first responders across the

349
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:13,880
country and around the world, thank you for stepping up to serve. To our service members

350
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:19,800
and their families, it's been the highest honor of my life to lead you as commander in chief.

351
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:26,840
And of course, to Kamala and her incredible partner, historic vice president,

352
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,840
she and Doug have become like family. And to me, family is everything.

353
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,560
My deepest appreciation to our amazing First Lady who was with me in the ovals today,

354
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,000
for our entire family. You're the love of my life and the life of my love.

355
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,760
My eternal thanks to you and the American people.

356
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:55,480
After 50 years of public service, I give you my word, I still believe in the idea

357
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,920
for which this nation stands. Nation where the strengths of our institutions

358
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:08,600
and the character of our people matter and must endure. Now it's your turn to stand guard.

359
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,600
May you all be the keeper of the flame. May you all be the light of the future.

360
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:22,200
Stand guard. May you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the face. I love America.

361
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:43,880
You love it too. God bless you all. May God protect your troops. Thank you for this great honor.

tendencies to put things off such as filing taxes, seeing the doctor, you know working on that home

improvement project that you're supposed to be doing but you just haven't gotten to it and well

397
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:18,920

401
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:55,000
because that seems like a good thing to do. Oh yeah. Yeah, Rattle My Cage, Shake Me To My Limit,

402
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,160
no doubt there as we are hanging out here on the Rated R safety show. So I told you it was going

403
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,880
to be different today. I wasn't joking. Now, I mean, I don't know. I just looked at it from

404
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,880
the standpoint of, you know, we did inauguration speeches. I'm sure we'll do that again next week

405
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:15,960
as well. So why not do the farewell speech? It's kind of, kind of the stuff that we do around here.

406
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,960
Anyway, so let's talk real quick about some of the things that are going on. And if anything,

407
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,560
I'm going to tell you about the most important thing that I will tell you in the next week.

408

A lot of information right there readily available for you. So just so you know exactly what is going

416
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:17,800
on inside of that section of the multiverse. Let's continue talking real quick. According to a new

417
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:25,000
report, just like the list of household chores that never goes away, the gender gap goes on and on.

418
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:32,040
After these generations, women still generally take on more domestic tasks than men. Researchers

419
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:38,200
at the University of Alberta study 250 couples. The number of couples that are married is about

420
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,760
1,000. Researchers at the University of Alberta study 250 couples over the course of 25 years

421
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:50,760
and found that they're referring to gendered pattern at a household in peoples in the 20s,

422
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:58,440
which continues well into their midlife. And if you have kids, the gap only winders. The data

423
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,320
shows that women consistently did the majority of the cooking, kitchen cleaning, grocery shopping,

424
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:09,000
laundry and overall housework. A statistic in the Canada report from 2022 found that

425
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:16,680
those who worked from home, women spent about 40 minutes more per day on unpaid housework than men.

426
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:22,840
And when it comes to childcare duties, even with both parents working, mother spent on average about

427
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:29,560
52 minutes more per day with their kids than the dads did. Experts say that although the gap

428
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:36,520
persists, there are signs it is narrowing over time. In 2025, a woman are still out there running

429
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:45,400
a marathon of laundry loads while men are lost in the kitchen trying to do the dishes and check the

430
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:51,720
football scores on their boat at the same time. And I mean, sure, they point out that, but there

431
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:58,200
is a snake in the garage or is the dog is about to barf in the middle of the night. Then whose

432
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:05,480
problem is that just asking for a friend. I mean, I don't know. So there you go. A lot of stuff to

433
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:12,360
think about, a lot of stuff to talk about. So there you go. Some things to think about. So with that

434
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:18,520
being said, why don't we continue talking a little bit more about some of the stuff that is going on

435
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:25,880
inside of the multiverse because it seems important to do. So with that, let's bring in some John

436
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Smalls into our life and let him tell us about what the hell is going on with the motivation

437
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,040
minute. Yes, cause you know, that's what he does. He tells us about the motivation minute. So let's

438
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:44,680
do that right now. The motivation minute is courtesy of Genesis gold IRA.com and Jace case

440
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:58,680
evolutions, not revolutions failure is not part of my vocabulary. I love that. I actually took a

441
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:04,760
job in Nebraska at a heritage radio station. They launched in 1922. Now I didn't work there that

442
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,720
long ago, but it was over 20 years ago in the job interview. The general manager told me that they're

443
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:15,640
evolutionary, not revolutionary. He was the third general manager in almost 80 years of service to

444
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:20,200
the community. His father served in that position before he did. And his grandfather way back before

445
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:28,520
that, he said they didn't want to be cutting edge. They wanted to be the standard. The motivation

Hello, I'm Richard Exley with your one minute devotion. The reason the Bible is filled with

449
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,920
so many verses about divine provision is not to make us materialistic, but to assure us of the

450
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:59,560
father's unwavering concern. He has repeatedly promised to take care of us. So we don't need to

451
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:06,680
concern ourselves about such things. We can focus our faith and our prayers on more important

452
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:13,320
matters. Jesus tells us to consider how the wildflowers grow. They did not labor as men,

453
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,800
yet I tell you not even Solomon and all of his splendor was dressed like one of these.

454
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,840
That is how God closed the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow

455
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:30,760
is thrown into the fire. How much more will he close you? Lord, help us to trust you for our

456
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:37,480
daily needs. Amen. If these devotions are a blessing and an encouragement to you,

458
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:53,000
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed that there should probably be conditions attached

459
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,200
to financial aid for California's wildfire recovery efforts. My personal opinion is that there ought

460
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,360
to be conditions on that aid. We'll see how the broader consensus shapes up. Johnson remarked,

461
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,200
I haven't had an opportunity to discuss this with the members over the weekend, given how busy

462
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,360
everyone has been, but it will undoubtedly be part of the conversation. His office provided no

463
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,600
further details when pressed for clarification on what conditions might be proposed. Lawrence

465
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:26,280
Sea has heightened concerns about a volatile 2025 in NATO's northern regions. In response, allied

466
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:31,160
leaders are pledging intensified surveillance and a firm stance against Russian and Chinese affiliated

467
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,720
vessels suspected of engaging in malicious activities. NATO will bolster its military

468

presence in the Baltic Sea. NATO chief Mark Rutter declared in December following the latest case of

469
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,320
alleged sabotage. He condemned any actions that threaten vital infrastructure as unacceptable.

471
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:55,960
session aimed at implementing president elect Donald Trump's proposed immigration policies.

472
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Trump's incoming administration is preparing more than 100 executive orders to take immediate action

473
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:05,400
on border security, deportations and other key issues. The planned crackdown has been described

474
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,880
as a shock and awe approach while Trump and his team have committed to mass deportations.

475
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Significant uncertainty remains regarding how these measures will be executed. Kevin Sanders

pacific time with the voting period for nominations extended by three days to January 17th.

Norris reporting. Blue Origin postponed the inaugural launch of its massive new rocket

488
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:26,120
early Monday due to technical difficulties. The 320 foot new Glenn rocket was set to launch just

489
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,520
before dawn, carrying a prototype satellite from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

490
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:35,080
However, during the final minutes of the countdown, launch controllers encountered an unspecified

491
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,560
issue with the rock and ran out of time to resolve. Once the countdown was stopped, the team began the

492
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,440
process of draining fuel from the rocket to ensure safety. Jim Kender reporting. And that's the

493
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:51,480
latest news headlines with Alan Edwards. What did guys like besides pizza and morning sex?

494
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:59,000
Jay Allen in the morning. It's so bizarre and unnatural. It's all good on radio.

495
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,080
Oh yes, who doesn't like it being all unnatural and stuff. That's for sure. Anyways, let's talk

496
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:10,520
about some things that happened back on this date. If we take a look in particular at when out at

497
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:17,400
1991, the United Nations deadline for Iraq to remove invading forces from Kuwait comes and goes.

498
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:24,040
Saddam Hussein had until midnight of January the 16th of 1991 to retreat from Kuwait.

499
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:29,800

500
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:36,040
Major fighting would end by March the 3rd when Iraqi General formally surrendered. That happened

501
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:42,200
back in this date in 1991. If you're looking at some birthdays for today, current Walters turns

506
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:24,840
days of the year to celebrate National Nothing Day International Hot and Spicy Food Day. Those

507
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:31,560
are some good things to combine together. If you do not mind that is for sure. Okay, so with that

508
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:37,320
being said, let's talk some more. Do you need a rando? I got a rando for you. Let me give you a

509
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:45,560
random joke. So let's go ahead and get in to some of that stuff. It seems important. If you ask me,

510
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:52,520
we place too much emphasis on the early birds good luck and not enough on the early worms bad luck.

511
00:56:54,440 --> 00:57:00,360
See what I'm saying there? See what I'm saying? Glass half full, glass half empty, depending on

512
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,880
how the hell you look at it. Just saying throwing that out there. Okay, if you need a phone starter

513
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:15,800
for today, try this. What to you is the most pleasant sounding accent? What to you is the

514
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:23,480
most plan is it sounding accent? Who said whatever Dua Lipa has? I mean, what I mean, that works. I

515
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,520
mean, I guess that works. I've been enjoying the Canadian one as of late too. But we'll leave that

516
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,920
for a different story in a different conversation. Okay, so if you need a question for the water

517
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:44,440
cooler, try this. 25 years ago, this was worth $1.6 million. Today it's worth $7 million. What is it?

518
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:55,480
Do do do do do do do do do do do do a 30 second Super Bowl commercial. $7 million.

519
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:02,680
Uh, I mean, think about that for a moment. That gets a little little pricey. If I may say so.

520
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:07,400
Anyways, at the top of the hour, I will be going over to radio big.fm for the next couple hours or

521
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,560
so. If you want to come and hang out with me, I will be doing the things that we do on that side

522
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:17,000
of the equation. So you're more than welcome to come out and hang out with me. No doubt about that.

523
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,680
If you don't want to go over there and you want to stay on safety FM, you can hang out with the

524
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:25,880
likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. So there you go.

525
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,880
That's going to sum up our time together. Thank you for hanging out. Thank you for always being

526
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,600
the best part of safety FM and radio big because without you, it makes no sense to do what we do

527
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,200
around here. If I can leave you with a deep thought for today, I would love to leave you with this

528
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:45,880
one. Grace guys are just clouds passing over. Keep that in mind. Anyways, I know who you are.
