Dive into a thought-provoking episode where we draw parallels between the iconic Matrix choice of the red pill or blue pill and the decisions we face in workplace safety. Will you take the blue pill, sticking to outdated, comfortable systems, or the red pill, stepping into a proactive culture of awareness and improvement? Join us as we challenge the status quo, explore safety realities, and empower organizations to transform hazards into resilience. It's time to choose your safety path. Which pill will you take?

This is the Rated R Safety Show with your host, Dr. It doesn't matter who the host is.
15
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Oh, it definitely does not matter who the host is.
16
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,280
What always has mattered is who the listeners are.
17
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,080
Let's not be mistaken by that. Anyways, today is Thursday, November the
18
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:59,400
21st of 2024, day 326th of the year and only 40 days left before we get to the end of the
19
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,800
shit show known as 2024. We are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios
20
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,680
in Orlando, Florida and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and hanging
21
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,280
out with our friends and colleagues over there.
22
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:23,280
We are Radio. We are Sargazm. We are both combined. Radio Big.
23
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,240
Radio Big. Yeah, you know, Radio Big is where we get
24
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,240
to hang out with those people. We get to hang out with the people at Safety FM.
25
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,000
So some good time. So hopefully the last 24 hours has been good
26
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,040
for you. So have you been thinking about this?
27
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Been in one week's time frame? More than likely, you will not be working.
28
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,200
You will probably be off because it is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and are you prepping for
29
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
all that stuff? Yeah, my wife was getting everything ready
30
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,440
yesterday for us and man, what a cluster. But hey, it's a fun time getting to hang out
31
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,520
with peeps. So there you go. Okay. So let's talk about what we do around
32
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,480
here. It's our show that consists of safety in the news, news and safety.
33
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,920
It's kind of how it goes. It is the way of the world of what we talk
34
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,920
about, no doubt there. So what we do here is that if you want to
35
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,960
interact with what we have going on, all you have to do is go to callinradio.com.
36
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Once you get there, video, audio and text messaging are the options.
37
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:34,280
The way you can listen to us is we have several different platforms that we go on.
38
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:40,120
Safetyfm.com, RadioBig.fm and there's some apps related to that as well.
39
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,840
So it's radio station. Then we can go into a podcast network or
40
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:49,360
catcher, but there are some podcast catchers that are broadcasting as live as we're doing
41
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,560
it. So keep that in mind too. Then you have the video option.
42
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Now, if you go to our website, safetyfm.com, you can click on visual radio and that will
43
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,620
actually show everything up right there. So that's, that's an option there.
44
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:08,240
But then we're also on iHeartRadio, Odyssey, Live 365, the Alexa streaming services and
45
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,840
all that other stuff. I mean, so there's, there's some places to catch us if you want
46
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:17,600
to do so. Like I told you about callinradio, that's always an option to interact with us
47
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,520
because some people like to put on social media. Now, listen, I'm going to tell you straight.
48
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,880
I look at social media aspect, just not in real time because I can't read all the stuff
49
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,000
I got going on on my screens and look at social media at the same time and be like, oh yeah,
50
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,040
that is going on in real time as we are doing stuff.
51
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,440
So don't take it personal. Some people do. They get offended. I've texted you and said
52
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,760
communication several times and you didn't read it on the air. I read it, just not during.
53
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,060
So there you go. In some of the, I mean, in some of the notes that come through change
54
00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:55,240
kind of the perspective of what we're doing. So keep that in mind as well. Anyways, let's
55
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,840
start talking right away about what the hell is trending.
56
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,520
Here is what was trending. Rated R, safety show.
57
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,080
Okay. Crooks in Michigan make off with an unconventional haul. We'll talk about that
58
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,680
and surpassing ballot measure fails. So there you go. Also five more lawsuits against Ziti
59
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,360
and Zell Washington opens up about his past love of wine. Also Colin Hoover's other bestselling
60
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,760
books is getting a film adaptation with a big star already attached and Queen Camilla
61
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,100
earns a special award. We'll talk about that in the details of the Royals.
62
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:36,600
So with that being said, I have some people waiting over here from feature story news
63
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,000
that want to give you a feature or maybe a story or maybe both combines and they can
64
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,880
give you both things. That way you can guide together, take a gather other of what's going
65
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,120
on. So if you're ready, I'm ready. I'll get the people over here from feature story news,
66
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,440
giving you the world of info cause I think we need that right now. So let's go ahead
67
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,440
and go into it.
68
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Here is the news on the safety show.
69
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,760
From feature story news in London, I'm Oli Barrett. Dozens of people have been killed
70
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,840
in fresh Israeli airstrikes in Northern Gaza, according to hospital officials. Hamas aligned
71
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,140
media says Israel hit several buildings in Beit Lahir and Gaza city. Israel's recently
72
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:23,360
intensified operations in Northern Gaza saying it wants to stop Hamas regrouping there. At
73
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,140
least 20 people have been arrested in raids across Europe, targeting an alleged Syrian
74
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:33,160
people smuggling gang. Law enforcement agencies in Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Bosnia
75
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,240
and Herzegovina and Serbia joined the UK's national crime agency and German police in
76
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,760
taking action. It's thought the network brought hundreds of migrants through the Balkans and
77
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,800
then into Eastern Europe before they were taken to Germany in the UK. The NCA's director
78
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,880
of investigations, John Denley says an Iraqi national was detained in the UK's Midlands
79
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,880
area.
80
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,160
The network operates in over 20 countries and is responsible for smuggling over 750
81
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,120
people into Germany and the United Kingdom. The arrest was undertaken with colleagues
82
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,160
from Poland and the subject will now face extradition.
83
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,800
The United States has charged Indian billionaire Gautam Adani with orchestrating a $250 million
84
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,640
bribery scheme. He's one of the world's richest men and is known for his close ties to India's
85
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rebecca Bundon reports from Mumbai.
86
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:29,160
US authorities say that Adani and other executives promised more than $250 million in bribes
87
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,840
to Indian government officials to secure solar energy contracts. Federal prosecutors accused
88
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,240
them of hiding and using the scheme to raise money from investors in the US. The Adani
89
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,800
group has interests in sectors including ports, airports and energy. The group last year faced
90
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,800
a crisis after a US short seller accused it of stock manipulation and accounting fraud.
91
00:08:51,800 --> 00:09:02,240
The US state of Texas is offering Donald Trump land for use for deportation facilities as
92
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,320
the president-elect promises to fix the country's border crisis. The state's land commissioner
93
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Dawn Buckingham says the ranch on the US-Mexico border can be used for the largest deportation
94
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,760
of violent criminals in the nation's history. Sally Patterson reports.
95
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Donald Trump ran for president on a platform of tackling illegal immigration. Now he's
96
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,480
working on turning those promises into action, firstly by using the US military to help with
97
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,360
his proposed mass deportations. Now, Texas authorities say facilities can be built on
98
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:43,040
their land to process, detain and deport undocumented migrants. There are around 11.4 million immigrants
99
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,760
living in the country illegally, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Many now
100
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,440
face an uncertain future as the next president prepares for his second term in office.
101
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:01,600
FSN's Sally Patterson reporting there. From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
102
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,800
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Conservationists say they believe that a species of bird previously
103
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,960
found across mainland Europe and the Mediterranean is now extinct. The last confirmed sighting
104
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,640
of a slender billed curlew was nearly 30 years ago, and researchers say new analysis has
105
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:26,920
concluded that with a 99.6% degree of certainty, none of the birds any longer exists.
106
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,960
It's the first global extinction of a species that occurred in mainland Europe ever, and
107
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,880
it's a reflection of the threats facing biodiversity more broadly globally.
108
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Alex Berryman of Birdlife International is a co-author of the study.
109
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,560
The last sighting was in northern Morocco, February 95. There's been a few claims since,
110
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:50,680
but none of them have been verified. The threats that probably drove the extinction are quite
111
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:54,900
difficult to pinpoint and will probably never be fully understood. But it's most likely
112
00:10:54,900 --> 00:11:01,520
that the extensive drainage and the destruction of bogs in western Siberia where they bred
113
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,560
and their conversion to agricultural use compounded with loss of coastal wetlands on the migratory
114
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:13,000
and wintering grounds, and possibly also some impacts of hunting, particularly towards the
115
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,340
end. The slender billed curlew was a wading bird.
116
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:20,600
Researchers say thousands of square miles of territory where the species was routinely
117
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,560
found have turned up no evidence that the curlew still exists, and ornithologists fear
118
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:30,320
it will not be the last species to disappear in Europe.
119
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,860
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
120
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:36,760
To recap the top stories, dozens of people have been killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes
121
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,640
in northern Gaza, according to hospital officials. At least 20 people have been arrested in raids
122
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,160
across Europe, targeting an alleged Syrian people-smuggling gang. The US has charged
123
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani with orchestrating a $250 million bribery scheme, and the US
124
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,720
state of Texas is offering Donald Trump land to use for deportation facilities. That's
125
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,400

00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,520
If you're anything like me, you have certain tendencies to put things off, such as filing
133
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,320
taxes, seeing the doctor, working on that home improvement project that you're supposed
134
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,080
to be doing, but just as having gotten to it. And while most of the times it works out,
135
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:31,920
the one thing in life that you really cannot afford to wait on is setting up term coverage
136
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,080
life insurance. You've probably seen life insurance commercials on TV and thought, yeah,
137
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,040
I'll look into it later. Well, the answer is no. This isn't something that you can wait

It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're
150
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:15,000
in and cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system. If
151
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,480
you don't own a home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you. But
152
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:25,480
if you own a home like me and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home
153
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:31,760
title fraud, one of the fastest growing crimes. Cyber thieves around the world know our home
154
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:38,160
values are sky high at the moment and that makes us a target. The crime is scary. Simple.
155
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Let me explain it to you real quick. A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property
156
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:51,880
cell form and refiles it. That's it. Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you
157
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,640
have no idea that you're a victim. Then the version takes out a loan on your home and
158
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,720
vanishes you to the police that you didn't commit bank fraud. Home title locks put a
159
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,720
virtual barrier around your home title. The instant they detect any kind of tampering
160
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,520
or anybody messing around, they help shut it down. Look, if you have equity in your
161
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,820
home, you need to guard it the best way that you can. Some people might even go as far
162
00:17:16,820 --> 00:17:22,120
as guarding it with their life. Go to home title lock.com and register your address to
163
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:29,160
see if you already are a victim and enter the code radio. That's R A D I O. That's
164
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:35,760
the code radio for 30 days free of protection. That's code radio at home title lock.com.
165
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:47,760
It's the show and they just make fun of a whole bunch of people. It's just too funny.
166
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,760
It's too stupid. Rated R, safety show. Oh, there you go. Rated R safety show. 17 minutes
167
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:59,320
past the top of the hour as we are hanging out on this lovely, lovely Thursday. Yep.
168
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Some Thursday action coming your way. That is for sure as we are doing our thing. So
169
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,400
let's start talking about the shit list real quick because those who are tasked with a
170
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,600
lugging along part of the Thanksgiving meal through the airport next week, TSA has some
171
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:19,720
guidelines for what you can and cannot be carried on to the plane. So if you're ready,
172
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:26,600
here you go. If you can spill it, spray it, spread it, pump it or pour it, it is a liquid.
173
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:34,240
Marasols or gel. It must be packed in your checked bag. If it exceeds 3.4 ounce limit.
174
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:40,520
This is according to their press release. Also hardier dishes such as turkey pie, stuffing,
175
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:46,360
casseroles, baked goods and fresh produce can all be placed in carry on luggages. Around
176
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:52,480
2.9 million people are expected to take to the skies the day before Thanksgiving. The
177
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:59,680
same amount will fly home on Sunday after Thanksgiving. This is according to TSA.gov.
178
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,040
So what are your plans? Will you be flying on or before Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving
179
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,560
or even for Thanksgiving? I'm just asking because here's the thing. If you kind of play
180
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,440
your cards right, you can probably get a decent trip, decent trip, depending on where you
181
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:21,800
want to go. But then also it is a total cluster getting back, especially if you're trying
182
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:28,640
to do it on a Sunday, Monday, you know, a Sunday, Monday scenario. I'm just saying.
183
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,680
So what are you going to do? I mean, if it was up to me, I would go to Mexico, but apparently
184
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080
a lot of things when it's up to me, I would go to Mexico.
185
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,920
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying
186
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,280
is trying to be entertaining. We're to our safety show. I'm just saying it's just the
187
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,920
truth. So there you go. Okay. So here we go. Another former executive of defunct crypto
188
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,560
exchange FTX will avoid prison time. Judge Lewis Kaplan sentence. The company co-founder
189
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Gary Wong to three years of supervised release and time served on Wednesday. His attorneys
190
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,840
noted that Wong has since gotten a job having nothing to do with cryptocurrencies and has
191
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,960
actively aided prosecutors and finding other financial fraud. Prosecutors also took it
192
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:25,520
easy and nothing to the court that Wang was the first FTX employee to come to them and
193
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:31,640
cooperate with from the start showing prosecutors or internal mechanism that same bank been
194
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:39,560
free to use to facilitate all the crimes. So what do you think? Did the person do the
195
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,340
right thing? You know, do the right thing. I don't know. A lot of people have questions
196
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:47,560
about stuff like this. They always do and always will. So that was coming from inner
197
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:53,240
city press, just in case if you wondered where the sourcing of the info came from, because
198
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,000
people always want to know that stuff. So there you go. Okay. And some other news, a
199
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000
New York fifth Avenue has long been the most expensive place to open a store when measured.
200
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,520
The rent prices is a per square foot clocking in just around. Are you ready for this? $2,000.
201
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:20,080
Yeah, $2,000. So via via Montenegro in Milan, Italy has taken the crown of the richest retail
202
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:28,080
shopping lane in the world where an 11% increase in rents year over year costs around $2,047
203
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,640
per square foot. The real estate analyst firm, Crushman and Wakefield attribute the rise
204
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,840
in simple supply and demand rounding out the top five most expensive shopping spots is
205
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:46,880
new bound street or new bond street in London, a place in Hong Kong and champs LC in Paris.
206
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:53,240
So there you go. Yep. I would have never known this without having a list because that's
207
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,240
just not my, just not my forte. I mean, no, seriously, just not my forte. It just makes
208
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,360
no sense to me on why you would want to pay some crazy amount of money for things that
209
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:12,000
don't mean anything. So there you go. Okay. Police in Dearborn, Michigan are looking for
210
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,880
crooks who robbed a pharmacy and made off with thousands of dollars of you ready for
211
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,200
this weight loss drugs. Security camera footage showed that at least four crooks involved
212
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,840
in the, in the heist, they specifically took about $15,000 worth of appasite suppressant
213
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,800
ozempic, not super bright. A quick review of the security footage also showed that the
214
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,280
robbers wearing a GPS tracking device, figuring out who it was took a little more of more
215
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:44,080
effort than identifying which devices were all at the location at the same time breaking
216
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:50,440
in the suspect has not been named, but police suggest that they have leads on who else was
217
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:58,960
involved. With this, this is according to W X Y Z. Okay. So let me make sure that I
218
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:08,600
understand this. You decided that it was a good idea to go rob a store, a pharmacy, and
219
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:18,840
you were tracking devices as you were doing it. And then you were wondering how this is
220
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:27,240
going to get you caught. Interesting. Very interesting. Here is another bet for our competitors
221
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:34,560
to copy rated our safety show. Okay. For the first time in nearly 30 years, a public ballot
222
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:41,040
measure to increase minimum wage has failed in California of all places. Proposition 32
223
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:48,280
would have raised the state's minimum wage of $18 or two $18 per hour by 2026. It's already
224
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:55,080
$16 an hour, more than twice the federal minimum and fast food workers earn about $20 an hour
225
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:02,400
amid all of that healthcare workers would soon see a wage of $25 an hour in the coming
226
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:10,040
month. Still proposition 32 failed by narrow margin of 51 to 49 in 1996 voters of the two
227
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:16,280
state rejected minimum wage hikes, Missouri to six 75 in Montana to six 25. The last,
228
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,160
the last time such measures failed in the United States worth noting the vote is for
229
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:27,040
final now because California takes literally forever to count ballots. Maybe that's not
230
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:33,920
such a true point, but you get, you get what I'm saying here. So there you go. So you have
231
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,440
the opportunity in California to go to $18 per hour in 2026. It did not pass narrow margin
232
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:47,840
59 51 49 when it's all set and done. I don't know. I look at minimum wage in a weird way.
233
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,280
You know, it's a minimum wage. It is a wage, but you should still be able to live to some
234
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:58,120
extent in regards to that. And I don't know, depending on where you're located, this will
235
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:05,160
play a huge factor. Of course, sometime federal minimum wage is not even close to getting
236
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,600
you to live in where the hell you're located. Like think about this warm up and because
237
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,580
it came up, we'll talk about it. Let's say somewhere we're like California, you're probably
238
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:19,920
not going to live off of minimum wage there. And I mean, I'll use this. I mean, New York
239
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,320
would be another place. I look at Orlando and I know some people will be like, why are
240
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,160
you talking about there? Well, I live here and I don't think you could live in an apartment
241
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,600
making minimum wage. If you didn't have a shitload of roommates. I mean, I'm just saying
242
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,760
you're not doing it as a single person, but I guess let me get off my soap box. We at
243
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:44,080
safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying
244
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,360
to be entertaining. What did our safety show? Oh, I'm sure I'm trying to be something. That's
245
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:55,080
for sure. Who knows what that is. So there you go. There you go. There you go. There
246
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:00,240
you go. Okay. So take a listen to this. Let's go through some things here. Let's talk about
247
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:09,720
the Dow. It gained about 139 points to close at 43,408 on Wednesday. The S and P fell flat
248
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:19,760
to close at 5,917 and the NASDAQ lost about 21 points to close at 18,966. West Texas intermediate
249
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,480
closed at $68 a barrel and Brent crude was at $73 a barrel. The national average price
250
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,840
of a gallon of gas. You ready for this was $3 in six cents on Wednesday. Bitcoin hit
251
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:38,920
a hall time high again with $94,300. So imagine how many people are excited about that. And
252
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:49,600
also Friday night's mega million drawing will be for $453 million jackpot or $209.6 million
253
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,800
cash payout. So if you want to play the game, you have the opportunity to do so. Okay. Let's
254
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,160
talk about this. I'm just going to references. We'll probably talk a little bit more about
255
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,600
this in our two and three. Um, if you go over to radio big.fm, but the 58th annual country
256
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:11,000
music association awards aired last night live from Nashville's bridge stone arena,
257
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,680
odd hand hosts, Luke, Brian, paint Manning and Laney Wilson. We'll talk. We have a whole
258
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:20,400
list of the winners if you care about that, but I think that that should be a little bit
259
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:27,680
better suited to what we have going on on the other station. So we'll talk about that
260
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,160
over there if you are so rich to do so. So there you go. What else do we have? Let's
261
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:39,080
take a look. Sean cone faces new allegations from five additional alleged victims, one
262
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:45,520
man and four women who claimed that he drugged and sexually assaulted them. All of the suits
263
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,600
have been filed by Houston based attorney Tony Busby, who is representing more than
264
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:56,920
120 alleged victim victims. Meanwhile, an offer has been made on combs Los Angeles mansion,
265
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,600
no Belmont of Bellwood investments put in an offer of $30 million for the place, a fraction
266
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:09,820
of the $62 million asking price by that, by the, by the way, that's the same guy who scooped
267
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:17,680
up Yee's a gutted Malibu home for $21 million. So what do you think? I mean, it's going to
268
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,920
get interesting more and more because I mean, I don't know. It seems like every time we
269
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,080
turn there's something new that's been brought up in regards to what's happening here. I
270
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,960
mean, I'm just saying, I don't know. I mean, that would be me saying, I'm just saying,
271
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,880
you see, see how that works. So there, so there you go. Okay. And some other news, Denzel
272
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Washington says that for 15 years he would drink wine for months on end, sober up for
273
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:49,640
a while shooting a film and then go back to a popping bottles. The pattern did not, uh,
274
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,840
did a lot of damage to his body. He told Esquire while revealing that he has now been sober
275
00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:01,840
for 10 years and has it had a thimble worth since then. So there you go. Pretty interesting.
276
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,800
I mean, I would say 15 years and then, you know, saying, Hey, I'm just going to be sober
277
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,040
as I make a movie. It almost reminds me quite a bit of that flight movie that he did. If
278
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,160
you think about it, you know, the one that reads the plot where he's the pilot. I'm just
279
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,560
saying, I don't know something to think about. Anyways, think about this one real quick.
280
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,120
The asking price for the home that, uh, that the late Jean Wilder, uh, was just slashed
281
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,920
by $3.5 million, dropping in price to $9.5 billion. The former owner, Elon Musk, a requirement
282
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,680
that the future buyer preserve the property, meaning that no tear tearing the place down
283
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,360
is still still in place. However, the place was purchased by Musk in 2013 and then went
284
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:49,160
to Wilder's nephew in 2020. Musk lent the nephew $6.7 million to purchase the home.
285
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:55,720
But it went into default after he and his wife fell behind on the loan payments while
286
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:02,920
there's, um, purchased the place in 1976 for around $300, $300, $300, $300, $300,000. This
287
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:12,240
is according to TMZ. So there you go. So there you go. Take a listen to this one real quick.
288
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Okay. You ready? Uh, Tori spelling is Tori spelling is done roughing it. The actress
289
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:23,600
recently traded her RV for a $12,000 a month mansion in Calabasas. It was rumored that
290
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:29,600
at the time spelling was a suffering financially and was forced to downsize. But her ex husband,
291
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:37,000
Dean McDermott felt that she did it on a way to a garner sympathy to move to an RV. I mean,
292
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,200
I think you're doing more than just trying to garner sympathy. If that's what you're
293
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,920
doing. I mean, I'm just saying, throw that out there. Okay. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia
294
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:50,320
de Rossi are making good on their promise to leave the U S of Donald Trump was reelected.
295
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,480
The pair have reportedly settled on a place in, uh, Cosmoles of that south of West England,
296
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,720
about two hours from London as their, um, as for their California real estate insiders
297
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:10,120
told TMZ the plans is to lint the Montecito mansion soon. I don't know. I mean, it's,
298
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,560
it's a weird thing. Okay. So listen, regardless of who won the election, you know, that some
299
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,880
people are going to come out of the woodwork and be like, Hey, if this person wins, I'm
300
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:28,640
leaving. If that person wins, I'm leaving. Okay. So yeah, people are doing their make
301
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,780
good. Is that good? I don't know. There is that bad. I don't know. Should people be touting
302
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:38,520
that they're leaving? I don't know because listen, you're still in one of the greatest
303
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,360
countries of the whole world, regardless of what the hell's going on. Some people will
304
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:47,560
argue that it's the greatest country in the world. So do you want to leave it? It's up
305
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:54,080
to you. I mean, listen, have you left a job because a manager came in and you didn't like,
306
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,960
I don't know. This is why I'm asking these questions. So you have to make those determinations
307
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:06,920
on what is going on. That is for sure. Anyways, 32 minutes past the top of the hour. So let's
308
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:14,800
go ahead and go into some of the stuff that we call our main story. Here is our main story
309
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:23,000
on the Rated R safety show. Okay. So let's hang out and talk and do some things and just
310
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:31,000
imagine some of the stuff that you've seen in the past and how would it would apply to
311
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,680
some of the things that are going on now? Now I want you to think about this when it's
312
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:44,760
all said and done, but you know that there are movies that impact people's lives. There
313
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:52,280
are songs that impact people's lives. There are things that occur inside of this world
314
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,640
that we sit around and go, this might be the neatest thing that I've seen, or this might
315
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:04,120
be the dumbest thing I've seen. So let's talk about some of that. So today I wanted to give
316
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,480
you some of those options, the red and the blue pill. So if I was to welcome you to our
317
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,920
main story where we are going to explore safety through the lens that you might not expect,
318
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,080
and I told you, let's talk about it from the aspect of something that has influenced a
319
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,840
good chunk of people, something like the matrix. If you've seen the movie before, you'll recall
320
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,840
the iconic moment where Neo is presented with the choice, you know, the choice, the red
321
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,920
pill or the blue pill. And if you're not super familiar with the movie, let me kind of just
322
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:40,200
give you a breakdown. The red pill represents a path of truth in reality, no matter how
323
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,600
difficult. The blue pill offers some of that comfort and ignorance, allowing you to remain
324
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:51,760
blissfully unaware of how harsh the truth around you are. That's kind of the overall
325
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,720
concept once he gets to that point of the movie. But here's the kicker. This decision
326
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:02,000
closely mirrors the choices that we make every day when it comes to our safety and our organizations.
327
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,120
And I want you to sit back for a moment and take a listen to some of this, because some
328
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,760
people might agree and some people might not agree in regard to what I'm going to say,
329
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,940
because that's just kind of how it goes overall all the time. But think about this. Let me
330
00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:20,520
give you the blue pill of safety. And now we're not talking about the Viagra stuff.
331
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,080
We're talking about something else. So taking the blue pill is the path of least resistance
332
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:30,440
in safety. And if you had to give a breakdown on what exactly it would look like, it would
333
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:36,800
be something along these lines. We're lying on outdated process and tools because that's
334
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,880
how we've always done it. Now, you know, you've been in an organization and you've heard somebody
335
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:47,800
use that before. The other aspect to think about would be ignoring near misses or minor
336
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:55,320
incidents because they didn't result in serious harm at this time. Think about that for a
337
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,320
moment. These are not things that you have not heard before. Also focusing on compliance
338
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:07,160
over actual improvement. We've checked all the boxes. So we must be safe, right? I mean,
339
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,260
isn't that how some of these people look at some of these things? When you're looking
340
00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:17,560
at everything based on doing some virginality of an audit, some virginality of paperwork.
341
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,480
And then the last but not least, accepting a false sense of security because everything
342
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:27,040
looks fine on the surface. So it must be fine. So the blue bill feels safe. It's easier.
343
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,640
It doesn't require questioning the status quo or addressing uncomfortable truths about
344
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,360
culture risk systems in place. Now let's look at the other side of the equation. Let's
345
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,080
look at that red pill of safety. The red pill represents stepping into the world of awareness
346
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:49,320
and reality. This is about confronting the truths that may not always be easy to accept.
347
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,160
So let's give us a quick breakdown here. What if you went around identifying some themic
348
00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:02,120
gaps in your process that put workers at risk? What about asking those rough questions? Are
349
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:10,240
we just lucky or are we just truly safe? What about shifting the focus from lagging indicators
350
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:17,140
like injury rates or leading to leading indicators like workers, engagement and reporting? What
351
00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:24,480
about recognizing the safety isn't just a list of rules, but a cultured shared responsibility
352
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,680
inside of the organization. So taking the red bill means acknowledging that safety is
353
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:35,000
complex and that there's no singular solution. It's about embracing the challenge of continual
354
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:42,280
improvement and empowering workers to play a active role in shaping a safer workplace.
355
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,280
You know, that employee engagement thing, that team member engagement thing in regards
356
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,980
of what needs to be done. So in choosing the red pill, so what happens when you choose
357
00:36:52,980 --> 00:36:58,520
the red pill in safety? Well, you begin to see being seeing the bigger picture. Safety
358
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:04,040
becomes part of the culture, not just department of a program. You recognize incidents that
359
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,840
are not about individual failures, but systemic failures. Workers filled in power to recognize
360
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:19,040
hazard and near misses without fear of punishment. And you're just not compliant. You're resilient.
361
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,840
You're doing things that are different. So just like in the matrix with Neo, the red
362
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:28,440
bill doesn't promise an easy path, but choosing to address the deeper truths about safety,
363
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:34,280
meaning facing complexities, challenges and resistance, but also the path that leads to
364
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:40,720
transformation and ultimately a safer, more engaged workplace, maybe a place that has
365
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:46,560
some safeguards. So ask yourself, are you ready to take the red pill or will you stay
366
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:51,360
comfortable with the blue pill pretending everything is fine while hazards lurk in the
367
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:58,280
shadows? So as in the movie, as Morpheus would say, all that I'm offering you is the truth,
368
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:06,520
nothing more. The truth might be uncomfortable, but it's the only way that you and your organization
369
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,920
will actually end up growing.
370
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:15,360
Oops, what did he just say? We at safety FM don't always agree with the viewpoints of
371
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:21,560
our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety FM. Don't go anywhere. You're

00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:11,600
Is your safety training old, stale and hacked? Is your safety trainer still pre-training
393
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,440
a warped version of behavior based safety? How about safety training that actually addresses
394
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:23,080
your hazards in your workplaces and is not standardized baloney from 25 years ago? Contact
395

Zoom, etc. I also bet that when you get someone droning on about a topic using these tools
401
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,880
you probably zone out and your team does too. I mean it is a reality of what happens. That's

412
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:29,040
If you're anything like me, you have certain tendencies to put things off such as filing
413
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,600
taxes, seeing the doctor, you know working on that home improvement project that you're
414
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,360
supposed to be doing but you just haven't gotten to it. And while most of the times
415
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,200
it works out, the one thing in life that you really cannot afford to wait on is setting
416
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:51,240
up term coverage life insurance. You've probably seen life insurance commercials on TV and thought,

And we are still hanging out here on the rated R safety show. Okay, this song right here
432
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:29,160
is called let me by chromatic songs readily available on Spotify, Apple music and YouTube
433
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:40,960
music. We would like to thank Romani for allowing us to play this year on the rated R safety
434
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:56,800
show. Yeah, I would say give it some streamer, email action. No doubt there. Okay, so let's
435
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,520
go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's get into the move in the groove of some things
436
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,200
going on. You're gonna do something here. Take a listen to this. Frankly, it can be
437
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,840
depressing at this time of the year when it comes if you're spending all of your hours
438
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:17,120
in daylight at work. And while many of us are quick to chalk up the feeling to lethargy
439
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:23,940
and carb craving to seasonal affective disorder or sad, a mental experts are saying that not
440
00:46:23,940 --> 00:46:30,240
so fast. We're starters, Carrie, Lebron ski, a winter psychologist mindset expert wants
441
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:37,000
us to remember that people that are sad isn't something you can just self diagnose use as
442
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,000
a shield to avoid a living normal life for the next three to four or maybe even five
443
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,680
months. According to her people who fall into the two categories who generally feel down
444
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:53,040
in the winter with worse mood and response to the lack of daylight and those who simply
445
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:59,840
having a very normal healthy response to daylight change. But don't view it that way. She points
446
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:07,800
out that the feelings of tired and an antisocial are at least less than the social might might
447
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,840
be during the summer and a very normal response to the 10 hour difference in the amount of
448
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,840
daylight between the summer solstice and the winter solstice. She says that it's normal
449
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:23,640
to expect the same energy interest and productivity year round her advice in dealing with the
450
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:30,240
effects of day of day of daylight in the time of the year, slow down, rest more, socialize
451
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:38,480
in a low key way and be indulgent in staying in and eat lots of comfort food and me count
452
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,840
down to December the 22nd, the days that start getting longer. Sure, you know, start the
453
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,680
winter but the daylight means that is also the first signs of spring. So hey, yeah, you
454
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,280
know, there is some hope there and let me tell you about the most important thing as
455
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,920
well that I will ever tell you after that story and that's about my friends at to write
456
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,400
love on her arms. No matter what you're facing, you deserve to be connected to help and the
457
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,400
people that to write love on your arms wants you to know that people have been where you
458
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,760
are now and healing is possible. So even if you're dealing with sad, you know, with the
459
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,360
thing that you're missing daylight, yeah, there's some options there and once you get
460
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,600
here there's some information related to addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorder, self
461
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:27,280
injury, suicide, trauma and grief support. Just to name a few to find out more information,
462
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:35,320
go to TWL o h a dot com. That's T W L o h a dot com and click on the section that says
463
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:45,600
find help. Tell some options readily available for you. So there you go. TWL o h a dot com
464
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:53,360
to write love on her arms. So a lot of information, a lot of things to do, a lot of things to
465
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:59,960
take a look at if one may do so. So there you go. Some stuff for you as we are talking.
466
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:05,720
So TWL o h a dot com. Okay. Let's continue talking about some other things cause that
467
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:09,640
is what we do around here. So what did you think? I mean, did you think that sad was
468
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:14,760
going to play a big factor is I was bringing it up or did you look at it and go, I don't
469
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,520
know if I go through that. I mean, there's a lot of people that are still hating this
470
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:23,360
in listen, I'm not a lover of the time change thing. I'm just keeping it real when it comes
471
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:29,440
to that, but it's a, it's a weird thing. Like if you look up all of the information on why
472
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:35,680
it was done, it's silly that we still do a time change. And if you have the option to
473
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:42,440
be stuck into one or the other, which one would you do? Would you be in daylight savings
474
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:48,240
time or would you be in daylight standard time? Because that's the, that's the thing.
475
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:52,880
And what if we just had the world in one separate time zone? You know, what if it was just one
476
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,480
time zone around, you know, what does it matter? Anyways, time is time. Yeah. You know what
477
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,360
I'm saying? Anyways, let's bring somebody in who has more sense than I do. Let's bring
478
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,240
in some John Smalls and let him tell us about the motivation minute.
479
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:12,200
The motivation minute is brought to you by Genesis gold IRA.com. Today's thought was
480
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,040
submitted by Tom. We often start with a quote, but today it's more of a thought titled.
481
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:23,040
What is marketing? If the circus is coming to town and you put up a poster that's advertising.
482
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,580
If you put the poster on the back of an elephant and walk them through town, that's a promotion.
483
00:50:27,580 --> 00:50:31,280
If you walk the elephant through the mayor's flower bed and the local radio station airs
484
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,920
a story about it, that's publicity. If you can get the mayor to laugh about it, that's
485
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,400
public relations. If you tell people about the various entertainment booths and the fun
486
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,560
that they're going to have, and you answer all their questions, that's sales. And if
487
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:49,240
you plan that entire thing, that's marketing. All right. I love that as a guy who works
488
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:55,680
in marketing. I agree wholeheartedly with this thought. The motivation minute courtesy
489
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:00,840
of Genesis gold IRA.com. I'm John Small. Thanks for listening. Your favorite motivational
490
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:05,840
quotes can be submitted for upcoming programs at motivationminute.org. I'm Richard Exley
491
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:11,640
with your one minute devotion faced with the seemingly insurmountable challenges of our
492
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:17,280
day. You may be tempted to give up. You may be thinking there's nothing you can do. You're
493
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:23,960
too young or you're too old or you don't have any money or you don't have any power influence.
494
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:30,960
Which brings us to the foremost unlikely miracle workers in the Bible. Four men with leprosy
495
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:37,440
sitting at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, why stay here until
496
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:44,920
we die? They had nothing. Nothing that is except an indomitable spirit, an unwillingness
497
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:51,560
to do nothing and unwillingness to just sit there and die. Lord Jesus, give us a courage
498
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:58,080
to risk failure and rejection rather than doing nothing. Amen. If these devotions are
499
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:04,080
a blessing and an encouragement to you, you can subscribe at one minute devotion.com.
500
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:11,240
Here is the news on the raising of our safety show. From Feature Story News in London, I'm
501
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:15,720
Molly Barrett. Dozens of people have been killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes in northern
502
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:20,960
Gaza, according to hospital officials. Hamas Aligned Media says Israel hit several buildings
503
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:26,840
in Beit Lahir and Gaza City. Israel's recently intensified operations in northern Gaza, saying
504
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:32,720
it wants to stop Hamas regrouping there. At least 20 people have been arrested in raids
505
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:37,960
across Europe, targeting an alleged Syrian people smuggling gang. Law enforcement agencies
506
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,800
in Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia joined the UK's
507
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,640
National Crime Agency and German police in taking action. It's thought the network brought
508
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,480
hundreds of migrants through the Balkans and then into Eastern Europe before they were
509
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:57,400
taken to Germany and the UK. The NCA's director of investigations, John Denley, says an Iraqi
510
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:03,720
national was detained in the UK's Midlands area. The network operates in over 20 countries
511
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:09,840
and is responsible for smuggling over 750 people into Germany and the United Kingdom.
512
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,240
The arrest was undertaken with colleagues from Poland and the subject will now face
513
00:53:13,240 --> 00:53:19,240
extradition. The United States has charged Indian billionaire Gautam Adani with orchestrating
514
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:24,200
a 250 million dollar bribery scheme. He's one of the world's richest men and is known
515
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:29,000
for his close ties to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rebecca Bundon reports from
516
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:35,240
Mumbai. US authorities say that Adani and other executives promised more than 250 million
517
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:40,720
dollars in bribes to Indian government officials to secure solar energy contracts. Federal
518
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:45,600
prosecutors accused them of hiding and using the scheme to raise money from investors in
519
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,720
the US. The Adani group has interests in sectors including ports, airports and energy. The
520
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:57,360
group last year faced a crisis after a US short seller accused it of stock manipulation
521
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:04,600
and accounting fraud accusations which Adani denied. Rebecca Bundon, Mumbai. The US state
522
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:10,040
of Texas is offering Donald Trump land for use for deportation facilities as the president
523
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:14,660
elect promises to fix the country's border crisis. The state's land commissioner Dawn
524
00:54:14,660 --> 00:54:19,920
Buckingham says the ranch on the US Mexico border can be used for the largest deportation
525
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:25,840
of violent criminals in the nation's history. Sally Patterson reports. Donald Trump ran for
526
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:31,800
president on a platform of tackling illegal immigration. Now he's working on turning those
527
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:37,840
promises into action. Firstly by using the US military to help with his proposed mass
528
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:44,680
deportations. Now Texas authorities say facilities can be built on their land to process, detain
529
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:50,600
and deport undocumented migrants. There are around 11.4 million immigrants living in the
530
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:56,080
country illegally according to the Migration Policy Institute. Many now face an uncertain
531
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:02,560
future as the next president prepares for his second term in office. FSN's Sally Patterson
532
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:10,040
reporting there. From bureaus worldwide this is FSN. In order to save the planet from
533
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:16,520
cow farts why doesn't someone just invent really large gas X pills? What's an awful
534
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:24,320
stench radio? Oh yeah it's stinty alright I believe ya. Anyway 55 minutes past the top
535
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:30,160
of the hour and let's talk about some things that happened back on this date back in 2019
536
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:36,480
Elon Musk unveils Tesla's all-electric pickup the cyber truck at an event in Los Angeles
537
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:44,080
while showing off showing off much of the of the beating of the vehicle could take Tesla's
538
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:52,280
let's see let's see what is it chief designer Frank Vaughn whatever Frank Vaughn took a
539
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,440
sledgehammer to the body he also hit it the shatterproof window with a metal ball and
540
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:02,760
to the surprise of Musk it shattered the window. Earlier Musk had claimed the truck was bulletproof
541
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:07,520
against a 9 millimeter handgun so who knows you know and keep in mind about that so that
542
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,160
happened back in 2019 think about how long it took to get that thing on the market and
543
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,560
how the price what was it almost double of whatever the year what was it like it was
544
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,840
40,000 for the entry but it ended up being 60,000 but when they started selling them
545
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:27,520
they were like 120. Anyways so that happened back in 2019 if you're looking at some birthdays
546
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:34,440
for today Isabelle May turns 24 Grace Van Patten turns 28 Justin Tucker 35 Carly Rae
547
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:41,640
Jespin turns 39 Jenna Malone 40 Nikki Garcia and Brie Bella both or Brie Garcia was what
548
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:47,640
I would imagine they both turned 41 Johnny Danny turns 50 Michael Strahan turns 53 Ken
549
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:55,640
Griffey jr. turns 55 Troy Aikman turns 58 Bjork turns 59 and Goldie Hahn turned 79 today
550
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,520
so there you go that's some birthdays for you if that's what you're looking for if you're
551
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,760
looking at some days of the year to celebrate I have a crap load of them for you it's Gurnes

556
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:37,760
