Before it is all over with Anyways, we're broadcasting live from the safety FM studios in Orlando florida and coming across the multiverse of Safety FM. And then of course hanging out with our friends. Well, at that other place that we do, the things that we do it. You're being infiltrated rio big. Oh yes. Our friends and colleagues and partners with radio pick as we hang out together anyways, did you have a late night last night? Uh, as we were seeing the first presidential address last night? If you stayed up late for that, I'm kind of go through some of that information. We'll talk about that as we get into the swamp later on today. Um, and of course, tons of news, a lot of things going around, of course, at being thursday, everybody's getting ready for the weekend. You know, I think I'm supposed to say that, I don't know why I'm supposed to say that, but I think some people are getting ready for that kind of stuff, so that's what's going on. So as we do the show, we talk about the things that are trending. We talk about the things that are going on inside of the news. We talk about, you know what the, what the experts I want to talk about about what's going on in the news. I'm definitely not the experts, but I will definitely give you my opinion on what's going on inside of the world of the news. That's for sure. Anyway, so talking about trending because we have to talk about it. Uh, things that were trending of course, was this, uh, this was the big trend from the overnight. Now, this is of course before the presidential address, as we do pull the information periodically through the evening. Former police dogs are never truly retired just in case if you didn't know. This video shared by Dave Rutherford uh featuring his former drug sniffing german shepherd named Dante, you know, like Dante's peak um, uh, has gone viral on multiple social media platforms. The quick clip features Rutherford reading off a shopping list at Dante perking up when he hears a familiar word. The video has already received over 2.6 million views. So all you have to do is look up the word Rutherford and Dante and german shepherd and dog. Um, it seems to be popular on the tick of the talk. Um, if that's where you want to go out and hang out, so go ahead and knock yourself out with that one. I will probably not show it because it's on Tiktok just in case for information purposes. Anyway, so let's get you to our friends at the feature of the story of the news and let them get us started with what's going on there and then we'll get moving and grooving. What the rest of the nonsense Here is the news feature story. News in London. I'm Ali Bharat India is opening up its vaccination drive to a billion people as its COVID-19 numbers again hit daily records. However, many trying to register for a shot have been unable to find an inoculation center. As asian Gerg reports from New Delhi, 13 million people flocked to register for their first shot ahead of the inoculation drives starting on May one. But technical challenges marred the drive from the beginning. First, the registration portals website crashed. And now states say they simply do not have enough vaccines. Both indian vaccine makers, the serum institute and Bharat biotech are expanding capacity to churn out more than 1.5 billion shots a year. But experts are worried that it will not be enough. As manufacturers have already committed to supply vaccines to other nations and alliances such as kovacs and copy some are also worried that vaccine shortages in India will delay supply to the rest of the world, dragging the pandemic on further. Us President Joe biden says he's not looking for conflict with china but is adopting a foreign policy to defend american interests. Speaking at his first address to Congress since taking office, Mr Biden also unveiled a new $1.8 trillion investment plan to support american families. Pressure continues to swirl around UK Prime Minister Boris johnson over a series of so called sleaze allegations. The Electoral Commission is investigating one of them claims a donor initially paid the costs of a renovation of the Prime Minister's Downing Street accommodation. The opposition Labour Party says Boris johnson has not answered key questions about the refurbishment. Cabinet Minister Nadhim Zahawi says it's not what voters want politicians to focus on. We are going out there explaining to them how we're delivering both. In terms of the vaccination programme, Economic Recovery, Conservative Central Office will cooperate with the Electoral Commission. It's right that these things are looked at properly. The Prime Minister's answered umpteen questions about this and it's clear that the Prime Minister paid for this. He's made that very clear. He's under umpteen questions. If there are the declaration to be made, he will make those declarations, but ultimately, Boris paid for it. German police have launched an investigation after four people were killed inside a hospital. The attack occurred in the city of Potsdam at a clinic that treats people with muscular and skeletal issues from Berlin Trent Murray reports. Police were called to the hospital shortly before nine PM local time on Wednesday to discover four victims had died and one was seriously injured after the attack, investigators say the victim's injuries indicated they suffered intense external violence with a 51 year old woman arrested at the scene. Local media report the woman was an employee of the hospital and that the attacks occurred in a specialist ward that supports people with mental development issues from bureaus worldwide. This is FsN, right. This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush rated R safety show on safety. FM dear john, I'm leaving uncontrolled.

The rated R safety show on safety. FM. You know, I, I just listened to that promotion. You know, uh, safety like never heard before. I don't even know if we can say that anymore. There's been so many other shows that have ripped off our style. Um, can I even use that anymore? I mean, maybe that's something we need to look into. Uh, so a lot of stuff going on first thing, of course. Well, good morning Mr Brett Sutton. You are up extremely late or extremely you are, you are either up late or up really early depending on how you want to take a look at it. Uh, anyway, so thanks for coming out and hanging out and seeing exactly what we have going on. Uh, so let's start talking about something's going on inside of the world of the news that three men accused of killing hot. I buried in february of last year have been indicted on federal hate crimes. Travis McMichael 35 his dad Gregory McMichael 65 William bryan 51 now face federal charges on interfering with rights and attempted kidnapping. The father son duo also faces additional firearms charges are very was jogging when the three men confronted him thinking that he was connected to a recent burglary in the neighborhood. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are very, was fall uh, fatally shot during the struggle with a shotgun. The three men also face multiple other charges including malice murder and federal and yeah, federal murder. So look at this. I mean we keep on talking about this and I know some people are gonna think that I'm continue just want to talk about guns, guns, guns, guns, guns. But we have a lot of gun violence. It seems like we do talk about this on a consistent basis. We do bring this up almost all of the time as we are talking about this. I mean, we'll see what happens going forward. That's for sure. It's just some interesting times on what is going on. Believe me, you should have the right to bear arms. But of course, like I've said it 1000 times before, People that want to get guns can get guns. I mean, we talked about the ghost guns. We've heard ghost guns recently quite more often than what we've ever probably heard about it before. So maybe some things to think about Anyway. Some other things going on. As of Wednesday, over 234.6 million COVID vaccine have been administered nationwide. Over 98 million Americans have been fully vaccinated. While more than 142.6 million have received at least one dose according to the CDC. The total number of confirmed cases is 31.9 million. And now we're over 570,000 deaths attributed to the virus itself. So the number continues to go up as we do continue to talk about it. We continue to see the ongoing issues when it comes to the deaths associated to this. So things that will still need to continue to talk about as we do move forward. We're seeing a lot more people getting vaccinated. We're seeing a lot more people, you know, going around getting the first job, potentially getting the second job. So we are seeing some changes. Finally, the former head of the FDA believes that the U. S. Should start lifting covid restrictions as the trend of declining cases is pretty much locked in at this point. I think we need to to lean more aggressively forward and look at ways to try to relax some of the provisions that don't really make us uh much sense anymore. Think about it in that fashion. Specifically an outdoors activity. This is dot dr scott good to be. I mean, did they just change the act or activity stuff if you were? I mean that you still you didn't have to wear a mask if you're not with a large crowd. I mean, I thought that was something that came about. He also noted the country doesn't need to be um, concerned at the time about the surge in cases is the decline in cases is due to more of the population having immunity from vaccines of unity from vaccines and prior infection. So there's some things that he was talking about um, for sure anyways, another grim day. Another grim milestone for India. The the country's health minister reported in a single day record of 3,293 deaths on one day, bringing the total of over 200,000. The world's second most populous country also reported 362,757 new infections. A new global record. India is the fourth country to cross 200,000 deaths behind us Brazil and Mexico definitely not something that you want to be talking about if you get avoided in regards of having that press hold as a number. For sure. So what do you think about this? As you hear this? Because there is definitely a lot to talk about their, there is definitely a lot to consider as we do talk about this you see, it's interesting on how it works depending from country to country. As you see, we do have Brent something inside of the box. Him from New Zealand. I mean New Zealand, what I think it was like seven weeks of what we call a hard time by the mythology that they used. I mean if someone hasn't written a book already on how they actually came up with their concepts board um there should be one that's written matter of fact, there should probably be several on exactly how to overcome a pandemic because they seem to do it extremely well. You are listening to a radio God what? This has to be an error. That host is not a radio god. Anyways, this is the rated R. Safety show on safety F firm. Okay. A judge in North Carolina ruled Wednesday that body camera footage of the officer involved in the shooting of Andrew Brown, jr will be delayed for public release for 30 days. Uh, Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Foster did approve a disclosure of the video to Brown's adult son kelly for Ferebee. I think that's the last name, immediate family members. Uh, and when licensed attorney in the state within 10 days, When license attorney. So what happens if another, if you have a group of attorneys anyways? The shooting occurred back on April 21 when officers attempted to serve a drug-related search and arrest warrant on brown, he fled the scene in a vehicle, which is when officers opened fired. Uh, so there you go. Some things to think about. The attorney for Brown's family said that the victim was not armed at the time of his death. Uh, so there you go. But here's the thing does recklessly driving a vehicle count is being armed. That's something to consider when it comes to this particular case that we're talking about here. So some things to think about for sure as we are moving forward and talking about the things that are around the world here anyways, let's get into the market minute. Let's talk to our friends. John smiles and let's hear what he has to say about what's going on with the stocks. Here's your market beat minute for Thursday. April 29 2021. The market was largely unmoved by the FOMC on Wednesday. After the committee delivered a message that was little more than expected, the FOMC made note of the Covid vaccines and the impact on the recovery. The committee also noted that labor markets were strengthened, although there is still weakness in some areas of the economy. In regards to inflation. Committee Chairman Jerome Powell said the recent increases in prices are likely to continue, although inflation will be transitory. The after hours action was a little different Reports from facebook forward. Ebay and Apple grabbed the market's attention and had shares moving reports were equally strong and point to an accelerating economic rebound. But not all shares moved in the same direction. Action on thursday could be more of the same sluggish sideways movement as the market digests. The latest round of news you can get the inside track from Wall Street is rated R. Safety self implode on our airwaves. Only on safety FM. Okay, so let's continue talking. Some more Wednesday saw major stock indexes fall as the dow slipped about 100 and 64 points, the NASDAQ lost about 39 points and the S and p tumbled about three points. The Federal Reserve announced they will leave interest rates at zero and continue their bond buyback program At its current level. The plan is to maintain the policy until inflation and labor-market data uh forces a change. So there you go. Some things to think about. Google climbed nearly three on Wednesday after reporting a record profits and plan to buy back $50 billion dollars in shares. Yeah, I did say 50 billion with a B just in case Facebook added more than six after the closing bell on Wednesday after reporting revenue beating, forecasted expectations. So there you go. So google and facebook continuing to do extremely well. So that's I mean, I guess that's a good thing depending on how you want to take a look at things. I mean, some people get all kind of weird album. We start talking about some of these bigger companies um doing some of the things that they're doing. I don't know how you feel about them, but of course it's always a good conversation to have some things to think about. Because here's the thing when you come to start thinking about some of these platforms, a lot of us used these pretty big platforms um that we do talk about. I mean think about it right now or have you used facebook recently? Have you used google? Um recently, It's kind of one of those things that a lot of people tend to use. So of course you're gonna see some numbers increase inside of there as we are talking. Uh So let's continue talking real quick about some other thing. One man has died and three others injured following a series of shootings that took place on Tuesday night in new york city. A 39 year old man, a 27 year old woman from the Bronx were shot inside of a car around six p.m. Police said the man who was shot in the chest was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The woman who was hit in the torso is listed as being in stable condition. An hour and a half later, a 37 year old man was shot in the back in Washington Heights. He is expected to survive. Then at 10 p.m. a 19 year old woman was struck in the foot during a hail of gunfire in Brooklyn, uh in Brooklyn. According to what police told the post. The alleged shooting in the Brooklyn incident of the 19 year old man has been arrested and as of Wednesday charges against some other still pending. No word on suspects were arrested in the other shootings. So there you go. Talk again about the same thing. What did he just say? We have safety fn don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety. FM. And as we continue to talk and we talk about self, we haven't mentioned that lovely place of florida florida florida in quite some time. So let's get into some news of the weird right away. A new species of venomous tarantulas has been discovered in florida. The pine rockland trapdoor spider was first spotted on the grounds of the zoo in Miami in 2012 but wasn't identified by researchers as a new species until this year. Dr Rebecca Goodwin, an assistant professor at the biology at Parliament College, said that bite from the silvery gray um you know, spider would be as painful as a bee sting if it is not lethal to humans unless you're allergic. I would imagine the male, the male pine rockland spider grow about the size of a, of the quarter of the female is typically 2 to 3 times larger, their lifespans approximately about two decades. So there you go. Now you can be in fear for the next two for the next 20 years. How fun is that? Our safety show, sarcastic. Never. Okay so there you go. Spain is ready to open its border Fernando via this wurl esto. The country secretary state of Tour of Tourism announced this week that Spain will allow tourists to visit. Starting in june To visit, travelers must show proof of their have received a COVID-19 vaccine recently tested negative for the virus or or or or recently recovered from the virus. So there you go. So here's the thing as we start talking about this because this is gonna be something that will will need to address at some point. Do you think that we're going to start seeing that we're going to start seeing essentially a version Al Itty of a passport and I'm talking about a vaccine, passport. I'm not talking about a passport to travel because we already know that most of us need a passport travel to travel anywhere. So what do you think about it? Like seriously? Like give me the thought for a moment. And do you feel comfortable if you have to do that or depending on what country you live in? Will you just kind of stay around there? I mean, I don't know, I mean I'm just asking the question of course. I asked a question, you know, and then I asked the question because I want to have a better understanding of what other people are thinking. Sometimes it becomes difficult when you start hearing a lot of these things and people, some people are pro some people are against and all that other kind of stuff. So it's definitely some things to talk about that's for sure. So I don't know how to do this. Should I what sequence I should do this in as I start talking here. Um So you know that we've been talking over the last little bit and I should probably mention it one more time because it's probably a good idea to mention it, that we have an event that we are that we are. I guess we can say that we are sponsoring, we are sponsoring to an extent of safety day that's coming up. So maybe we should talk about that first and then we'll come back and talk some more. So maybe I should be kind and uh, is that it? Where is it? It will do the wrong thing. That is definitely not the right thing. Is that this one? Yeah, it's that one. Hold on, let's get this rule moving and grooving. If you're not watching the screen, it's fantastic cause you didn't see what I just messed up. Have you ever sat back and ask yourself that question?

So if you want to come and hang out, you're more than welcome to do so anyways, let's continue talking I think, hold on, jim proposal in the box. All of us are jim proposal. You never know where he's going to pop up. Maybe he'll pop up. Are you are gonna be popping into florida next month? Will be interesting to see see how I put the pressure on there. I love how I threw that out there. Anyways, let's continue talking about some other things. Of course, when I talk about florida and now I have to add to the stories of florida florida florida. So here you go now the news you want to share. But let's share it. Anyways, a three year old was shot and killed while celebrating his birthday in florida last weekend. Officers responded to the residence to the residents saturday evening what? Where they found Elijah Laughren suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was rushed to an area hospital where he died from his injuries. An adult woman was also shot but in stable condition The shots fired fired at least 60 shots before taking off. Yeah. The gun PI guess the the shooters, the shooter shot 60 shots before taking off. Well that doesn't not sound promising at all. No arrest has been made at this particular point. Now let's talk about it. I mean we talked I mean it just seems like a gun. Gun, gun gun thing today as we are talking boy, does that sound like shit, doesn't it? What did he 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. Here is our main story on the radio show. Oh, don't you love when you press the wrong button? Because I do. It's so much fun when I do it because I've been doing it all the time recently. Here is our main story on the safety show. Oh, so let's start talking, Let's start talking about this world of ours. Let's start talking once again about these things that we need to start looking at. Let's start talking about these things that we want to see happen. Because now is the time to have that conversation now, is the time to move forward with a lot of the ideas that you've probably been thinking about. We've had some time sitting behind the pine, we've had some time taking a look around of what this new world looks like and I know that we've heard the term new normal over and over and over and over over the last little bit because we've been all in lockup or in lockdown. We've all been kind of hanging out inside of a virtual event inside of a virtual workspace or you've been blessed enough where you've been able to go in person to some of these things and do work in person, but you are starting to see or you have seen over the last year and change the way that work has changed, have the way that things have actually moved. So let's start talking more and more and more about this. The question becomes this now the question becomes because it should have been the same question we should have been asking for the last year in change at this point, where do we want it to go? And that's the reality of the situation. That is the reality of the conversation that we should be having. And if we're not having it inside of organizations, I don't know what the hell we're waiting for. Listen right now, you have a lot of eyes on what is going on and what we so called the safety department right now, we have a lot of eyes in the safety culture inside of the organization right now. So I would imagine that depending how long you have worked at your organization, it be at months, it be at years, it be at decades. You have always had an idea of what that should look like. I would assume. So now, of course, that's my assumption. So here's the thing, if that's the case and you've listened to me for a period of time, you should have some kind of plan, some kind of goal in some kind of structure on what you want to get to. Now, here's the thing, if you don't have these things, we can still talk, we can still kind of move forward, but you should have had over the last little bit, the attention in the ear of upper management, you should have had the attention in the ear of the workgroups that you interact with, you should have the attention in the ear of your team members of your fellow colleagues because of what you do for work, if that's the case, here is the fun part. Now, is the time to start talking about how you want things to work if you haven't done so already. Now keep in mind that we will be talking more and more about psychological safety because this is going to be crucial inside of some of these work environments now. Think about it. I mean the more you think about it, the more you know that it's true because look at it for a moment, mentally, thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people have been impacted on how they look at work, how they look at financing, how they feel safe within an organization. So this is the time. Now keep in mind, if you work in a small place or if you work at a large place, you're not going to have the millions, more than likely you might have the thousands, you might have the hundreds depending on where you're located. But this is the time to start investing into some of the ideas in some of the programs that are there. This is the time to start having those conversations on what should be done inside of the york. Now, listen, not every idea is good, not every idea is bad, not everything that is implemented will work. I know, I know there's people that go out there and swing swing for the fences and say no thing is wrong, everything's perfect. Yes, you can say that as much as you want, but not everything works for everyone. We have to start implementing these ideas. Yes, I did say ideas on how that organization should change and their ideas and we go back to the same thing over and over and over again. We have to meet people where they're at if you want to revolutionize the way that your organization is. Yes, I'm not having a default moment from yesterday, just in case if you want to revolutionize your workplace, you have to start having those conversations if you have not done so already, you have to start revolutionizing that workplace by putting those new ideas in front of the people who are the decision makers. Listen, they know that a lot has happened over the last period of time. They know that there has been lost to some companies and finances. There has been some gains to other companies and finances. There has been restructuring in some organizations, there has been personnel loss, there has been personnel gain. So those are the things that we need to talk about. Those are the things that if you have been building out something, an idea of philosophy, a process. These are the time to move forward with them. We're kind of in a weird time here in the US as some changes are trying to come across from the presidential side, the government side and working its way down. This might be the time to be having these conversations inside of your organization are doing some of these things. And the reason that I say this is that if we continue to wait and we continue not to want to move forward or change what needs to be done? What do we go back to? What does the organization look like? And listen, I hear about, you know, a lot of people saying let's bounce back. Let's bounce back to what we had. I don't know where you worked, I don't know where you're employed. I don't know where you're a team member, but I don't know of a lot of places that I thought were perfect and that's the thing. No place is perfect. We can go on a journey together. That's the portion we tend to forget bouncing back, might not move us forward. Think about that for a moment, taking a look at what might have been there I'd with an ideology previously. Well, that might be a good thing, because let's talk about it previous to the pandemic, a lot of safety people that I got to interact with. Tell me how bad their jobs sucked. Yeah, I said that, so, bouncing back does not seem like ideally the best thing to me, because I think right now, depending on where you're at, inside of your organization, inside of your career, you probably have more attention on you over the last year and change than probably that you've had at any point throughout your career in safety. If not, you've been extremely blessed in regard to being having more attention previously. So that's the thing now, is the time to start having those co

Our friends and colleagues and partners with radio pick as we hang out together anyways, did you have a late night last night? Uh, as we were seeing the first presidential address last night? If you stayed up late for that, I'm kind of go through some of that information. We'll talk about that as we get into the swamp later on today. Um, and of course, tons of news, a lot of things going around, of course, at being thursday, everybody's getting ready for the weekend. You know, I think I'm supposed to say that, I don't know why I'm supposed to say that, but I think some people are getting ready for that kind of stuff, so that's what's going on. So as we do the show, we talk about the things that are trending. We talk about the things that are going on inside of the news. We talk about, you know what the, what the experts I want to talk about about what's going on in the news. I'm definitely not the experts, but I will definitely give you my opinion on what's going on inside of the world of the news. That's for sure. Anyway, so talking about trending because we have to talk about it. Uh, things that were trending of course, was this, uh, this was the big trend from the overnight. Now, this is of course before the presidential address, as we do pull the information periodically through the evening. Former police dogs are never truly retired just in case if you didn't know. This video shared by Dave Rutherford uh featuring his former drug sniffing german shepherd named Dante, you know, like Dante's peak um, uh, has gone viral on multiple social media platforms. The quick clip features Rutherford reading off a shopping list at Dante perking up when he hears a familiar word. The video has already received over 2.6 million views. So all you have to do is look up the word Rutherford and Dante and german shepherd and dog. Um, it seems to be popular on the tick of the talk. Um, if that's where you want to go out and hang out, so go ahead and knock yourself out with that one. I will probably not show it because it's on Tiktok just in case for information purposes. Anyway, so let's get you to our friends at the feature of the story of the news and let them get us started with what's going on there and then we'll get moving and grooving. What the rest of the nonsense Here is the news feature story. News in London. I'm Ali Bharat India is opening up its vaccination drive to a billion people as its COVID-19 numbers again hit daily records. However, many trying to register for a shot have been unable to find an inoculation center. As asian Gerg reports from New Delhi, 13 million people flocked to register for their first shot ahead of the inoculation drives starting on May one. But technical challenges marred the drive from the beginning. First, the registration portals website crashed. And now states say they simply do not have enough vaccines. Both indian vaccine makers, the serum institute and Bharat biotech are expanding capacity to churn out more than 1.5 billion shots a year. But experts are worried that it will not be enough. As manufacturers have already committed to supply vaccines to other nations and alliances such as kovacs and copy some are also worried that vaccine shortages in India will delay supply to the rest of the world, dragging the pandemic on further. Us President Joe biden says he's not looking for conflict with china but is adopting a foreign policy to defend american interests. Speaking at his first address to Congress since taking office, Mr Biden also unveiled a new $1.8 trillion investment plan to support american families. Pressure continues to swirl around UK Prime Minister Boris johnson over a series of so called sleaze allegations. The Electoral Commission is investigating one of them claims a donor initially paid the costs of a renovation of the Prime Minister's Downing Street accommodation. The opposition Labour Party says Boris johnson has not answered key questions about the refurbishment. Cabinet Minister Nadhim Zahawi says it's not what voters want politicians to focus on. We are going out there explaining to them how we're delivering both. In terms of the vaccination programme, Economic Recovery, Conservative Central Office will cooperate with the Electoral Commission. It's right that these things are looked at properly. The Prime Minister's answered umpteen questions about this and it's clear that the Prime Minister paid for this. He's made that very clear. He's under umpteen questions. If there are the declaration to be made, he will make those declarations, but ultimately, Boris paid for it. German police have launched an investigation after four people were killed inside a hospital. The attack occurred in the city of Potsdam at a clinic that treats people with muscular and skeletal issues from Berlin Trent Murray reports. Police were called to the hospital shortly before nine PM local time on Wednesday to discover four victims had died and one was seriously injured after the attack, investigators say the victim's injuries indicated they suffered intense external violence with a 51 year old woman arrested at the scene. Local media report the woman was an employee of the hospital and that the attacks occurred in a specialist ward that supports people with mental development issues from bureaus worldwide. This is FsN, right. This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush rated R safety show on safety. FM dear john, I'm leaving uncontrolled.

The rated R safety show on safety. FM. You know, I, I just listened to that promotion. You know, uh, safety like never heard before. I don't even know if we can say that anymore. There's been so many other shows that have ripped off our style. Um, can I even use that anymore? I mean, maybe that's something we need to look into. Uh, so a lot of stuff going on first thing, of course. Well, good morning Mr Brett Sutton. You are up extremely late or extremely you are, you are either up late or up really early depending on how you want to take a look at it. Uh, anyway, so thanks for coming out and hanging out and seeing exactly what we have going on. Uh, so let's start talking about something's going on inside of the world of the news that three men accused of killing hot. I buried in february of last year have been indicted on federal hate crimes. Travis McMichael 35 his dad Gregory McMichael 65 William bryan 51 now face federal charges on interfering with rights and attempted kidnapping. The father son duo also faces additional firearms charges are very was jogging when the three men confronted him thinking that he was connected to a recent burglary in the neighborhood. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are very, was fall uh, fatally shot during the struggle with a shotgun. The three men also face multiple other charges including malice murder and federal and yeah, federal murder. So look at this. I mean we keep on talking about this and I know some people are gonna think that I'm continue just want to talk about guns, guns, guns, guns, guns. But we have a lot of gun violence. It seems like we do talk about this on a consistent basis. We do bring this up almost all of the time as we are talking about this. I mean, we'll see what happens going forward. That's for sure. It's just some interesting times on what is going on. Believe me, you should have the right to bear arms. But of course, like I've said it 1000 times before, People that want to get guns can get guns. I mean, we talked about the ghost guns. We've heard ghost guns recently quite more often than what we've ever probably heard about it before. So maybe some things to think about Anyway. Some other things going on. As of Wednesday, over 234.6 million COVID vaccine have been administered nationwide. Over 98 million Americans have been fully vaccinated. While more than 142.6 million have received at least one dose according to the CDC. The total number of confirmed cases is 31.9 million. And now we're over 570,000 deaths attributed to the virus itself. So the number continues to go up as we do continue to talk about it. We continue to see the ongoing issues when it comes to the deaths associated to this. So things that will still need to continue to talk about as we do move forward. We're seeing a lot more people getting vaccinated. We're seeing a lot more people, you know, going around getting the first job, potentially getting the second job. So we are seeing some changes. Finally, the former head of the FDA believes that the U. S. Should start lifting covid restrictions as the trend of declining cases is pretty much locked in at this point. I think we need to to lean more aggressively forward and look at ways to try to relax some of the provisions that don't really make us uh much sense anymore. Think about it in that fashion. Specifically an outdoors activity. This is dot dr scott good to be. I mean, did they just change the act or activity stuff if you were? I mean that you still you didn't have to wear a mask if you're not with a large crowd. I mean, I thought that was something that came about. He also noted the country doesn't need to be um, concerned at the time about the surge in cases is the decline in cases is due to more of the population having immunity from vaccines of unity from vaccines and prior infection. So there's some things that he was talking about um, for sure anyways, another grim day. Another grim milestone for India. The the country's health minister reported in a single day record of 3,293 deaths on one day, bringing the total of over 200,000. The world's second most populous country also reported 362,757 new infections. A new global record. India is the fourth country to cross 200,000 deaths behind us Brazil and Mexico definitely not something that you want to be talking about if you get avoided in regards of having that press hold as a number. For sure. So what do you think about this? As you hear this? Because there is definitely a lot to talk about their, there is definitely a lot to consider as we do talk about this you see, it's interesting on how it works depending from country to country. As you see, we do have Brent something inside of the box. Him from New Zealand. I mean New Zealand, what I think it was like seven weeks of what we call a hard time by the mythology that they used. I mean if someone hasn't written a book already on how they actually came up with their concepts board um there should be one that's written matter of fact, there should probably be several on exactly how to overcome a pandemic because they seem to do it extremely well. You are listening to a radio God what? This has to be an error. That host is not a radio god. Anyways, this is the rated R. Safety show on safety F firm. Okay. A judge in North Carolina ruled Wednesday that body camera footage of the officer involved in the shooting of Andrew Brown, jr will be delayed for public release for 30 days. Uh, Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Foster did approve a disclosure of the video to Brown's adult son kelly for Ferebee. I think that's the last name, immediate family members. Uh, and when licensed attorney in the state within 10 days, When license attorney. So what happens if another, if you have a group of attorneys anyways? The shooting occurred back on April 21 when officers attempted to serve a drug-related search and arrest warrant on brown, he fled the scene in a vehicle, which is when officers opened fired. Uh, so there you go. Some things to think about. The attorney for Brown's family said that the victim was not armed at the time of his death. Uh, so there you go. But here's the thing does recklessly driving a vehicle count is being armed. That's something to consider when it comes to this particular case that we're talking about here. So some things to think about for sure as we are moving forward and talking about the things that are around the world here anyways, let's get into the market minute. Let's talk to our friends. John smiles and let's hear what he has to say about what's going on with the stocks. Here's your market beat minute for Thursday. April 29 2021. The market was largely unmoved by the FOMC on Wednesday. After the committee delivered a message that was little more than expected, the FOMC made note of the Covid vaccines and the impact on the recovery. The committee also noted that labor markets were strengthened, although there is still weakness in some areas of the economy. In regards to inflation. Committee Chairman Jerome Powell said the recent increases in prices are likely to continue, although inflation will be transitory. The after hours action was a little different Reports from facebook forward. Ebay and Apple grabbed the market's attention and had shares moving reports were equally strong and point to an accelerating economic rebound. But not all shares moved in the same direction. Action on thursday could be more of the same sluggish sideways movement as the market digests. The latest round of news you can get the inside track from Wall Street is rated R. Safety self implode on our airwaves. Only on safety FM. Okay, so let's continue talking. Some more Wednesday saw major stock indexes fall as the dow slipped about 100 and 64 points, the NASDAQ lost about 39 points and the S and p tumbled about three points. The Federal Reserve announced they will leave interest rates at zero and continue their bond buyback program At its current level. The plan is to maintain the policy until inflation and labor-market data uh forces a change. So there you go. Some things to think about. Google climbed nearly three on Wednesday after reporting a record profits and plan to buy back $50 billion dollars in shares. Yeah, I did say 50 billion with a B just in case Facebook added more than six after the closing bell on Wednesday after reporting revenue beating, forecasted expectations. So there you go. So google and facebook continuing to do extremely well. So that's I mean, I guess that's a good thing depending on how you want to take a look at things. I mean, some people get all kind of weird album. We start talking about some of these bigger companies um doing some of the things that they're doing. I don't know how you feel about them, but of course it's always a good conversation to have some things to think about. Because here's the thing when you come to start thinking about some of these platforms, a lot of us used these pretty big platforms um that we do talk about. I mean think about it right now or have you used facebook recently? Have you used google? Um recently, It's kind of one of those things that a lot of people tend to use. So of course you're gonna see some numbers increase inside of there as we are talking. Uh So let's continue talking real quick about some other thing. One man has died and three others injured following a series of shootings that took place on Tuesday night in new york city. A 39 year old man, a 27 year old woman from the Bronx were shot inside of a car around six p.m. Police said the man who was shot in the chest was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The woman who was hit in the torso is listed as being in stable condition. An hour and a half later, a 37 year old man was shot in the back in Washington Heights. He is expected to survive. Then at 10 p.m. a 19 year old woman was struck in the foot during a hail of gunfire in Brooklyn, uh in Brooklyn. According to what police told the post. The alleged shooting in the Brooklyn incident of the 19 year old man has been arrested and as of Wednesday charges against some other still pending. No word on suspects were arrested in the other shootings. So there you go. Talk again about the same thing. What did he just say? We have safety fn don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety. FM. And as we continue to talk and we talk about self, we haven't mentioned that lovely place of florida florida florida in quite some time. So let's get into some news of the weird right away. A new species of venomous tarantulas has been discovered in florida. The pine rockland trapdoor spider was first spotted on the grounds of the zoo in Miami in 2012 but wasn't identified by researchers as a new species until this year. Dr Rebecca Goodwin, an assistant professor at the biology at Parliament College, said that bite from the silvery gray um you know, spider would be as painful as a bee sting if it is not lethal to humans unless you're allergic. I would imagine the male, the male pine rockland spider grow about the size of a, of the quarter of the female is typically 2 to 3 times larger, their lifespans approximately about two decades. So there you go. Now you can be in fear for the next two for the next 20 years. How fun is that? Our safety show, sarcastic. Never. Okay so there you go. Spain is ready to open its border Fernando via this wurl esto. The country secretary state of Tour of Tourism announced this week that Spain will allow tourists to visit. Starting in june To visit, travelers must show proof of their have received a COVID-19 vaccine recently tested negative for the virus or or or or recently recovered from the virus. So there you go. So here's the thing as we start talking about this because this is gonna be something that will will need to address at some point. Do you think that we're going to start seeing that we're going to start seeing essentially a version Al Itty of a passport and I'm talking about a vaccine, passport. I'm not talking about a passport to travel because we already know that most of us need a passport travel to travel anywhere. So what do you think about it? Like seriously? Like give me the thought for a moment. And do you feel comfortable if you have to do that or depending on what country you live in? Will you just kind of stay around there? I mean, I don't know, I mean I'm just asking the question of course. I asked a question, you know, and then I asked the question because I want to have a better understanding of what other people are thinking. Sometimes it becomes difficult when you start hearing a lot of these things and people, some people are pro some people are against and all that other kind of stuff. So it's definitely some things to talk about that's for sure. So I don't know how to do this. Should I what sequence I should do this in as I start talking here. Um So you know that we've been talking over the last little bit and I should probably mention it one more time because it's probably a good idea to mention it, that we have an event that we are that we are. I guess we can say that we are sponsoring, we are sponsoring to an extent of safety day that's coming up. So maybe we should talk about that first and then we'll come back and talk some more. So maybe I should be kind and uh, is that it? Where is it? It will do the wrong thing. That is definitely not the right thing. Is that this one? Yeah, it's that one. Hold on, let's get this rule moving and grooving. If you're not watching the screen, it's fantastic cause you didn't see what I just messed up. Have you ever sat back and ask yourself that question?

So if you want to come and hang out, you're more than welcome to do so anyways, let's continue talking I think, hold on, jim proposal in the box. All of us are jim proposal. You never know where he's going to pop up. Maybe he'll pop up. Are you are gonna be popping into florida next month? Will be interesting to see see how I put the pressure on there. I love how I threw that out there. Anyways, let's continue talking about some other things. Of course, when I talk about florida and now I have to add to the stories of florida florida florida. So here you go now the news you want to share. But let's share it. Anyways, a three year old was shot and killed while celebrating his birthday in florida last weekend. Officers responded to the residence to the residents saturday evening what? Where they found Elijah Laughren suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was rushed to an area hospital where he died from his injuries. An adult woman was also shot but in stable condition The shots fired fired at least 60 shots before taking off. Yeah. The gun PI guess the the shooters, the shooter shot 60 shots before taking off. Well that doesn't not sound promising at all. No arrest has been made at this particular point. Now let's talk about it. I mean we talked I mean it just seems like a gun. Gun, gun gun thing today as we are talking boy, does that sound like shit, doesn't it? What did he 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. Here is our main story on the radio show. Oh, don't you love when you press the wrong button? Because I do. It's so much fun when I do it because I've been doing it all the time recently. Here is our main story on the safety show. Oh, so let's start talking, Let's start talking about this world of ours. Let's start talking once again about these things that we need to start looking at. Let's start talking about these things that we want to see happen. Because now is the time to have that conversation now, is the time to move forward with a lot of the ideas that you've probably been thinking about. We've had some time sitting behind the pine, we've had some time taking a look around of what this new world looks like and I know that we've heard the term new normal over and over and over and over over the last little bit because we've been all in lockup or in lockdown. We've all been kind of hanging out inside of a virtual event inside of a virtual workspace or you've been blessed enough where you've been able to go in person to some of these things and do work in person, but you are starting to see or you have seen over the last year and change the way that work has changed, have the way that things have actually moved. So let's start talking more and more and more about this. The question becomes this now the question becomes because it should have been the same question we should have been asking for the last year in change at this point, where do we want it to go? And that's the reality of the situation. That is the reality of the conversation that we should be having. And if we're not having it inside of organizations, I don't know what the hell we're waiting for. Listen right now, you have a lot of eyes on what is going on and what we so called the safety department right now, we have a lot of eyes in the safety culture inside of the organization right now. So I would imagine that depending how long you have worked at your organization, it be at months, it be at years, it be at decades. You have always had an idea of what that should look like. I would assume. So now, of course, that's my assumption. So here's the thing, if that's the case and you've listened to me for a period of time, you should have some kind of plan, some kind of goal in some kind of structure on what you want to get to. Now, here's the thing, if you don't have these things, we can still talk, we can still kind of move forward, but you should have had over the last little bit, the attention in the ear of upper management, you should have had the attention in the ear of the workgroups that you interact with, you should have the attention in the ear of your team members of your fellow colleagues because of what you do for work, if that's the case, here is the fun part. Now, is the time to start talking about how you want things to work if you haven't done so already. Now keep in mind that we will be talking more and more about psychological safety because this is going to be crucial inside of some of these work environments now. Think about it. I mean the more you think about it, the more you know that it's true because look at it for a moment, mentally, thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people have been impacted on how they look at work, how they look at financing, how they feel safe within an organization. So this is the time. Now keep in mind, if you work in a small place or if you work at a large place, you're not going to have the millions, more than likely you might have the thousands, you might have the hundreds depending on where you're located. But this is the time to start investing into some of the ideas in some of the programs that are there. This is the time to start having those conversations on what should be done inside of the york. Now, listen, not every idea is good, not every idea is bad, not everything that is implemented will work. I know, I know there's people that go out there and swing swing for the fences and say no thing is wrong, everything's perfect. Yes, you can say that as much as you want, but not everything works for everyone. We have to start implementing these ideas. Yes, I did say ideas on how that organization should change and their ideas and we go back to the same thing over and over and over again. We have to meet people where they're at if you want to revolutionize the way that your organization is. Yes, I'm not having a default moment from yesterday, just in case if you want to revolutionize your workplace, you have to start having those conversations if you have not done so already, you have to start revolutionizing that workplace by putting those new ideas in front of the people who are the decision makers. Listen, they know that a lot has happened over the last period of time. They know that there has been lost to some companies and finances. There has been some gains to other companies and finances. There has been restructuring in some organizations, there has been personnel loss, there has been personnel gain. So those are the things that we need to talk about. Those are the things that if you have been building out something, an idea of philosophy, a process. These are the time to move forward with them. We're kind of in a weird time here in the US as some changes are trying to come across from the presidential side, the government side and working its way down. This might be the time to be having these conversations inside of your organization are doing some of these things. And the reason that I say this is that if we continue to wait and we continue not to want to move forward or change what needs to be done? What do we go back to? What does the organization look like? And listen, I hear about, you know, a lot of people saying let's bounce back. Let's bounce back to what we had. I don't know where you worked, I don't know where you're employed. I don't know where you're a team member, but I don't know of a lot of places that I thought were perfect and that's the thing. No place is perfect. We can go on a journey together. That's the portion we tend to forget bouncing back, might not move us forward. Think about that for a moment, taking a look at what might have been there I'd with an ideology previously. Well, that might be a good thing, because let's talk about it previous to the pandemic, a lot of safety people that I got to interact with. Tell me how bad their jobs sucked. Yeah, I said that, so, bouncing back does not seem like ideally the best thing to me, because I think right now, depending on where you're at, inside of your organization, inside of your career, you probably have more attention on you over the last year and change than probably that you've had at any point throughout your career in safety. If not, you've been extremely blessed in regard to being having more attention previously. So that's the thing now, is the time to start having those co
