Anyways, we're broadcasting live from the safety FM Studios in Orlando florida and coming across the Multiverse known as safety FM. And then we're of course streaming on our sister station. You know, that other place that we go and hang, you know, always streaming radio, yep, coming across the radio big dot F M also at the same time too. So there you go, that's what we have going on and that's it. That's the show. No, just joking. Anyway, so there you go, a lot of stuff going on. First things inside of the Manana as we're coming to you. Uh, so hopefully you had a fantastic weekend, did all kinds of fun stuff, you know, stuff that was worth your while, all kinds of fun things, you know, whatever you normally planned your weekend to be, I guess, you know, however you want to take a look at that, wow, we really need to adjust that camera. So there you go, a lot of stuff, a lot of things and some things to talk about for sure. So let's talk about some of the trends that we were seeing over the weekend of what was trending according to the social media hashtags, let's talk about it. Twitter account, hangover tags created by craft beer, beer in forwards. Yeah, beer in four words which began trending on saturday morning tweets include hipster personality substitute. Um it's twice the price. Uh definitely not malt liquor. It's still mostly water alcohol for man's buns. Yeah, a bunch of hipsters nonsense and dumped down the drain. So there you go. That's what was part of the hashtag that was taking place. Another hashtag that was going on was Prince Philip's funeral. What's trending on saturday as Queen Elizabeth's husband was laid to rest. Social media users attach the hashtag to pose expressing their sympathies for the queen and the entire royal family. More details, you know, we'll talk about that probably later joe buck landed in the top trending tweets after news broke that the sportscaster will be guest host on jeopardy more. There'll probably be some more information about that to kennesaw. What's trending on on sunday morning after the news broke that a gunman opened, fired in Wisconsin. Town officers were called to the summer house tavern just before one a.m. After reports of shots fired. So there you go, twitter was also flooded with tweets of Maxine waters sunday after she called on people to get confrontational. If a former police officer, Derek chauvin was acquitted her saying not mine. Uh many, many called her out for inciting and promoting violence, heavily noting the huge, huge double standard democrats constantly promote just saying what's there. Doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with any of it or I'm promoting any of it. So there you go, that's some information going on on top of the trends as we are talking right away. So let's talk to our friends at the feature of the story of the news because you know, they talk about stories that are going on in the news that should be featured. So maybe we should talk about them. Here is the news of our safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Chris Jones. More than 273,000 people have tested positive in India in the last 24 hours. The biggest single day surge anywhere in the world. This has taken the country's overall Caseload past 15 million. Several parts of the country are grappling with an acute shortage of beds and oxygen with India's capital, New Delhi, describing the current situation as an emergency near her pina has more. The Delhi government says 1500 beds will become available at newly made facilities by Tuesday. But as of Sunday the capital had less than 100 critical care beds left. Indians are now taking to social media to request help for their family members as hospitals. And some of the worst hit regions, including Delhi say they've reached capacity. The government has now ordered oxygen meant for industrial use to be diverted to hospitals as cases rise across the country, criticism is mounting over how Prime Minister modi's government has handled this health crisis. Opposition parties have either suspended or curtailed their campaign for the poll bound state of West Bengal. But Prime Minister modi's party, the BJP, is still holding an extensive campaign there, Hong Kong is banning flights from countries like India Pakistan and the Philippines for two weeks after health officials say they found multiple cases of a mutant COVID-19 strain carried by travelers from those countries. Russia has given 20 Czech diplomats 24 hours to leave the country. The move is a response to the expulsion of Russian diplomats after Prague accused Russian spies of carrying out an explosion that killed two people, Julia Chapman has more. The Russian Foreign Ministry denounced the expulsion of 18 diplomats as anti Russian. The Czech Republic alleges that the Russian spies were behind a 2014 explosion at an ammunition depot. It believes that the men are the same ones accused of carrying out the salisbury poisonings. In the U. K. In 2018, the Kremlin has denied any involvement in either incident. Julia chapman Moscow and UK. Prime Minister Boris johnson has joined condemnation of plans for a new european Super League in football. 12 major clubs in England Spain and Italy, including Manchester, United, Chelsea and Tottenham have announced a new breakaway competition. They claim it will help the sport at every level, but fans are accusing them of greed. And Boris johnson's warned it could be very damaging. The Guardian's chief sports writer Sean Ingle says it's about money and control in effect, that very big clubs want to control what is now the Champions League. What would become the european Super League for your way for? It's almost an existentialist threat. If they were to lose the Champions League. If they say to the big clubs, you take control of this. I mean they wouldn't have much much left. There could be a compromise, but I think it's tricky to see how it would satisfy all clubs from euros worldwide. This is fsN listen to our host of the rated R. Safety self implode on our airwaves. Only on safety FM.

You can find out what it's all about if you're so inclined to do so. Uh, so there you go. A lot of stuff going on first thing in the, in the morning. So how is your weaken? I mean, I always think it's interesting on what happens after the weekend when we come back and all that kind of fun stuff. Some people have all kinds of bland's um, people don't, I will tell you, I actually, with hanging out, hanging around, taking a look at some of the beaches over the weekend. Um, not a lot of stuff going on over there. I was kind of shocked. I was slightly surprised. Uh, so, we'll talk about that here in a bit. Anyway, let's continue talking. Um, let's talk about what's going on inside of the world of the news because that's always important to talk about. Uh, we need to go down the different sectors of what is going on inside of the world of the news. So let's take that from the very top. So, um, glistened Excel will face to criminal trials in Manhattan federal court after judge rules to separate choosing, hold on rules to separate her perjury charges from her sexual misconduct. Don't know if you heard about this one. Judge Allison Nathan uh, stated that the charges were try, um, were tried together. It would risk an unfair trial on each set of the count. So there you go, that was something that was discussed. Of course, Maxwell is, is accused were Procuring underage girls to be to be abused by millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000. She was also charged with lying under oath in a civil suit deposition unrelated to the sexual misconduct charges. So there you go. That's what's circulating inside of the world of the news right now. So just so you know, it's the information of what I got also some other things if you've probably heard about this, but let's talk about it. As of Sunday. Over 209.4 million COVID vaccine have been administered nationwide. Over 84.2 Americans have been fully vaccinated while under or more than 131.2 million have received at least their first dose, according to the CDC. The total number of cognitive cases, um, are just over 31.4 million with more than 563,000 deaths attributed to it. Uh, so worth noting the CDC reports that 25.4 of the total population are fully vaccinated and as of those 18 and older can currently receive the vaccine. In most states, a percentage of the eligible population who are fully vaccinated is now closer to 33%. I know we can go down the path again that we talk about about the vaccine. But here's the funny part. I was listening to something over the weekend as well. Um, that was related about how we get our information about Covid. And where does a lot of the info come from? And of course, most of us get our information related from some kind of new source of media where it comes worth. And the question came about on this program that I was watching about, Is there a spin on it? Is there a political agenda when you start hearing about Covid? And is there a political agenda when people are talking about it from wherever you're gathering the information? And I thought it was a pretty interesting question because when you really start taking a look at it, the answer will definitely be yes. I still have not found any new source that doesn't have some kind of spin a rama on it because all of them do it. I don't think we're back into how the news stories used to be, where it was just news. It wasn't that it was an infotainment. I mean I can talk about a court case that occurs with Fox News. Fox News many, many years ago in the Sean Hannity Show, but I think a lot of people already know about that. I don't want to bore you too much, but think about it for a moment, think about how we receive the information and what our thoughts normally are. And if there is a spin and I would have to say yes, there definitely is. Because here's the thing when you come and hang out with me in the morning or in the afternoon or wherever you take a listen to this to an extent. You know, there's going to be some sarcasm on the stuff that I have to say. So I would say to an extent there is a spin. You're also going to hear me talk about how I'm not in love with big safety. So I guess that's a spin. But that's the thing. Regardless of where you get info, there will always be a bias on there. That's that's unfortunate. But it's the truth thing. It is the true words there. You will always have a bias on it. Why? Because that's how people are. We're all just human. So yes, there will always be a bias. Even when you do incidents investigations, think about it for a moment and you'll know that we're on the same page anyways to continue talking, authorities have released the names of the eight people who were killed in the Indianapolis Fedex facility shooting massacre on thursday. They were identified as Matthew alexander 30 to Samarra. Samaria Blackwell 19 Amateur Darryl 66 Jackson Darker 64, Jazz Wonder sign 68 Emirate crone 48 Carly smith 19 and john Wizard 74 4 were injured in the shooting. The gunman identified as a former Fedex employee, not going to say his name. He was 19 19, took his own life after being confronted by cops. So we can talk about run hide fight. We can talk about gun control. We can talk about mental illness. We can talk about a lot of things when we start getting into stories like this, there's so much that can be addressed, but that's the thing. Do you want to address it? Do you want to have the conversation on what's going on? And then we start talking again, metal detectors inside of jobs, metal detectors. Because here's the thing, you don't know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen and who even knows about ghost guns nowadays. That's the other question behind the whole thing. So, a lot of stuff to think about for sure. What did he just say? We had safety. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety. FM. Okay, three people were killed and two others were injured in a shooting early sunday morning at the summer's house tavern in Wisconsin near the shores of Lake Michigan. Two victims were taken into the hospital with um, with serious injuries. While a motive has not been established, officials believe that the shooting was a targeted attack. The gunman has not yet been located. This is a developing story. So there you go, you've probably heard about some of that yesterday as it was being discussed on some of the news outlets. If you were watching, let's continue talking about their new Ceo Stefan Bansal said that the booster shots for the coronavirus vaccine will be necessary at some point, but it's too early to tell how often they will be needed. He emphasized that there are two dose vaccine has an efficiency north of 90 and seems to be doing well in the real world. Not the MTV show, but only the only time will tell if it works against the variance In under 30 days, well that have been developed ovarian boost for the South African strain with recently published the data showing that it works well in animals. Human data will be available soon according to the ceo So there you go. What do you think about this? You know there's going to be so many mutations on things as we talk, there's going to be so many mutations on things as things come about. I mean this was to be realistic about this. I don't know. I think that when we start not talking about what we need to start taking a look at, it's gonna be a little bit difficult for some. So when you hear this and you start thinking about what comes to mind, Are you prepared to see more variance? Because I think that that's gonna be the other thing about mutation. I mean and I think we're kind of aware of these things. At least one would hope anyways. NASA announced on Friday that it is awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion dollar contract to build a spacecraft to bring astronauts to the moon as early As 2020 for the private space company. Elon Musk was selected over Jeff Bezos Blue origin and defence contractor diabetics. I wonder where that belongs to. Uh really diabetics. That's interesting. Somebody else uses something called dianetics. You might be familiar A test flight to the moon will occur before humans make the flight. So there you go. Some interesting things. That's somebody pull that up. Defense contractor dynamics. I wonder what they're tied into or who they're tied into. Did you say? L. R. H. Okay, Whatever. Okay. A New Jersey man was, who was hospitalized with covid 19 despite getting the johnson and johnson vaccine was placed on a ventilator friday. As his conditions worsen Francisco. Cosma 52 fell, uh, fell ill five weeks after receiving one shot vaccine. His daughter told the post that she is not, she is not allowed to see him. And the last time that she tried to facetime he was unconscious, she is now begging johnson and johnson to do more research to revise the statement to make it clear that people still can be hospitalized with the virus. Even after getting the shot. I think that people are getting slightly confused on vaccines here. I don't think there's been a statement yet. Now I, I am no, um, no medical scientists see what I did there. Um, that has said that you are immune, that you are immune to. Once you take this, that you can just go roam the roam the planet and be perfectly fine. And hey, I'm not picking here. I'm not picking on Francisco by no means, but there has not been anything that said, okay, you are fully immune to this thing. So I just don't get it. I don't get where the misunderstanding is. I mean, are you under the, the understanding that you're going to get the shot if you opt to do so and all of a sudden you're going to be free to roam the world. Because I don't think that's the case. At least there's no study showing that because we are starting to see other people getting it, getting the, getting the actual illness still, because I think what's taking place is that some people are still thinking that the moment you get the thing you can throw your mask away, throw away all precautions and run, run like the wind. And I don't think that that's what's supposed to be taking place. But what do I know? I don't know. Listen at your own risk rated r safety show. Okay. Federal officials are warning parents to stop using pellet on treads and after dozens of incidents of Children being sucked beneath the treadmill um, including the incident which a child died have been reported. White ceo john folly called the incident tragic and said the company is aware of the small handful of incidents. Meanwhile, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said that they are aware of nearly 40 incidents including the death. The CPSC released a statement on their findings on twitter advising those with Children at home to stop using the product immediately. The response. The response. Uh, let's see, John Foley said that were disappointed that despite offers of collaboration and despite the fact that the tread plus complies with all applicable safety standards, the CPSC was unwilling to engage in any meaningful discussion, oh, profits and loss. You know, it's just something to think about it. You start seeing some of these incidents, you have to definitely take a look at the numbers and then at what point you start going okay. What is the incident rate? Is it is it worth it? Oh isn't that what standard safety is normally tells you about? I'm just trying to figure it out. Anyway. There are people that are dead after a shooting that occurred in an apartment complex in downtown Austin late sunday. A press release off at in a press release officers called the incident a domestic situation saying that the public is not in danger but should remain vigilant. Oh that's that's um rather promising. The FBI and U. S. Marshals are tag teaming the hunt for the shooter who believed to be a former law enforcement enforcement officer and then they named the person. So hold on. So it's definitely more than a person of interest. The person was charged with sexual assault of 16 year old last summer. Is what it's saying. As of Sunday evening, he was still on the run. This story is developing. Oh, there you go. There you go. Uh, so there there's more information. Anyway, let's get into some more things that is 23 minutes past the hour. You are listening to rated R safety show on safety FM. And radio picked out. FM. Anyways, health officials in Oregon want to require masks and social distancing indefinitely. We are not out of the woods yet. According to Michael would Interesting administered for the Department of Occupational Safety and Health Department said since the announcement, the agency has gotten a record number of public complaints of nearly 60,000 people have signed a petition rejecting the proposal. Would said that it will uh, that he will make the final decision by May IV. So let's talk about this. Meanwhile, Senator Kim Thatcher is calling the proposal unnecessary and questioning the science behind it, especially as vaccines are only days away from being available to everyone. So here you go again. Are we doing? Are we like even looking at some of these vaccine things? I mean, are we truly understanding what some of this means? I guess that's the other. That's the other question. That's the thing to think about. So this is why I keep on telling people or I will mention it on the show from time to time that hey, you need to do what is in your best interest, what is going to work for your situation? I think it's, it's getting kind of weird out there. It's getting weird out there. But then again, um, I guess I'm a recluse when it comes to all this stuff, you barely ever see me out in the wild. That's not a joke. That's for sure. Mortal kombat beat down our safety show. Here is our main story on a radio show. Okay, so let's talk about it. Let's talk about the world. Let's talk about what is going on. It is 25 minutes past the top of the hour and you are hanging out here with me. So let's talk about all these things that we, that we always want to talk about. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. But let's say for a moment in time you were involved in the world of operation. So let's say that before you got into safety, let's say for instance, you fell into safety by accident. You did something else. You were an operator, You were an operations. You played that game, you did some other things that were not related to safety because that seems to happen quite a bit. And you know that when you sit back and you think about it for a moment, you think about recluse safety and what do I mean about that? You hear about that position that sits on high, at least when you're in operations, you think about it, you think about the safety cop, you think about the department that rides all these standards and regulations that are out and about and this don't make sense to what is going on inside of your organization. And you always hear or might have heard the term at some point or another, that there's the powers that be or that they are the person that sits behind there and you never have seen them. And you've never seen safety out in the field. And that's the interesting part when we start talking about organizations in some style of safety now, I'm not talking about all organizations do this, but there is a good chunk of these that you'll see out there, that they have recluse safety and you never see the person, you don't know what they look like. You have never seen the person in your life, You wouldn't know the difference between them or Adam and Eve. So that's the stuff. So how do you go from having recluse safety and changing it to be something that is part of the culture in your organization? Not the reckless part of course, but safety being part of the culture. And I think that this is a conversation that we need to look at where we're at inside of our journey. This be a personal journey, This be a journey inside of the organization because that's the thing. You could be the best safety person on the planet and be a recluse and nobody know a damn thing about you. A damn thing about your format, a damn thing about anything that's going on with what you're doing and it doesn't advance what you're trying to promote Gardner and move forward with. So what can you do today for safety inside of your organization? Not to be a red clues. Now, that's the fun part. That's the fun part. We talked about this before, we talked about the marketing, we talked about going out there and driving safety, have you heard about the safety blitz? This is not a joke and some people will go, well that's not me. How am I going to drive? We have so many pieces of technologies now today that we could help promote, I will tell you what I used to be in the transportation world working that day in and day out. I would love to tell you that it was you know, it was an eight hour job now I used to probably stay at that place. I remember when taste one time staying there, 72 hours straight because I wanted to take a look at what was going on and seeing the different components and the safety blitz seemed to help so much. So in the morning when people actually take out the buses or take out their trucks or load their vehicles, we would do safety blitz. It would be anything from giving them bars of like protein bars, It would be anything like giving them water with maybe a safety slogan on and not saying that that's going to change the world, but it's all of a sudden them seeing that you're there and having conversations and you're seeing enough front. I will tell you, I probably have given away more of these damn things in my life than probably have been sold um at the store that I was buying that because that was the only place that we, that were scaring them at the time, at least luckily now you can get them through amazon, not a sponsored by the show, just in case, but that was a colossal super cookie is what it was provided by the great people that met Rx Yeah, 400 calories of fun there. And a lot of people talked about it, especially when we first started doing it. But that's the thing, that is the thing when you start doing stuff that you're not behind the scenes and now you become in the forefront, people want to know exactly what it's all about. I'm not saying you have to have a board that says we have been this 70 days injury free or you need to have something that references something along the lines that has something related to how, how great everything is. And we're going to give away a gift. That's not the thing, but it's something where you can in turn come to the organization and show them that you care. Because that's the interesting part. We talk about marketing, that's essentially a good chunk of what safety is. Yes, you have to have some kind of knowledge base, but think about it, you get some of the people within the organization that know quite a bit of what's going on and you talk to them about their problems and maybe you start bringing some forward some of the problems that they're seeing. Maybe you bring in the new person that started and maybe you start having some of those conversations of problems of what they're seeing. And that's the thing. You want to make sure that people just doesn't think that safety is something behind a closed door. You don't want people to think that safety is something that only talk is talking about in the darkness of the rooms and that it's never brought to the forefront. Because I can tell you, I had a guy that I worked for, he had 40, some odd locations. I believe it was inside of this organization that we were in and his commitment to his team was to make it out to them once every two months. And this was across the country and it's a difficult thing to do. This guy lived out of a suitcase, but was trying to make sure that people knew that he was there because he never wanted to be the behind the scenes person. I also worked at an organization that the general manager of the organization, this is a transportation place and they had three shifts like most companies do on when they loaded their buses and that general manager would be there at the beginning of the shift first thing in the morning when the shift change occurred and then when the new shift people came in to make sure they had someone to talk to. Now if the general manager wasn't there, one of their assistant general managers was to be there for just in case people had something to talk about. That. General manager normally was talking about safety related issues to make sure that it was something that was in the forefront. Here's the thing, If you don't make it a priority, other people won't make it a priority. If it's something that you're throwing the long bomb, like they like to say, instead of football, that's all it is. It's the long bond from a distance, they're not running from you, you're just throwing it doing the hail mary and praying that something occurs, you have to do something to be able to change this inside of the organization. If you don't, what's going to happen, what's going to change? Because every time that you get a new policy procedure from behind a closed door, do you really care? Do you really give a shit about it? No? Oh my God, here's a new regulation. Oh, here's a new rule. Oh, here's something we have to do. No. Make it different. And yes, I know it is difficult to do from time to time, especially when you're dealing with a larger organization. And listen, it's sometimes great to be able to explain to people the reasoning on why some of these things that were occurring. It's not just another safety policy, it's not just another safety, It's so tiring doing that. And here's the interesting part I get to sit here, Yes, because I am sitting right now and talk about this stuff. But the funny part is I spent a good 15 years out of my career out there doing this stuff. And let me tell you, I failed miserably at certain points because I didn't understand how important the relationship building was When I first started my career, it was dictate and watch the people do. But when I started hitting the road, when I started going out and showing people how important they were and how important certain things inside of the organization that needed to change to move forward. That's when I started to see it now. The unfortunate portion that occurred. Of course there was a death, There was a fatality that had to occur before. I actually got to that point. Think about that for a moment, your organization should not have to get that far before a change occurs on how people do things for the organization or the other part is you can just be a recluse And boy doesn't that sound great when it comes to safety? But what do I know? Just a guy behind a microphone? What did she just say? We have safety FM. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now, back to real Safety Talk on safety FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of Real Safety Talk. You are listening to safety FM. We'll be right back.
