Transcript

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty Chris merrill Ian from O Kelly KFI AM six forty. We are anytime you can catch us on demand the iHeartRadio app, including the big CNN Presidential Debate, which we'll have tomorrow six pm on CNN simulcast and KFI excited to have that. It's wala great to see you again, the great Mark Runner in the

newsroom. You came back all right, did Yeah? Fush has been helping me out here with here's the thing, so I do the show from my home studio and I pay way too much for my internet to have internet problems. I just don't understand it. Foush says, well, you gotta call him. Hey, listen, I do you know what they do? They go, well, we ran a test and everything's funny. And what I just want like a tech to come sit here and stare at things when it

goes wrong. But I can't even predict when it's gonna go wrong. You know, we had You never know when it's gonna work, when it's not gonna work. So frustrated, so frustrating. Yeah, but let me tell you there's no time better spent than waiting on the phone with a tech guys. Stuff. Nothing worse than you know. That's the one thing too. People talk about the government agencies and how bad government agencies can be, but I'm telling you there's a lot of private agencies that are just horrible. Uh.

Sitting there listening waiting for tech support. Terrible. Uh if you have to cancel like a cell phone service, but horrible. I was doing some work in Dallas and I was subscribed to the Dallas Morning News. And you can't just go in there and unsubscribe. You have to call them. And you know what that is, right, that's what you have to call us to cancel your subscription. And that means that we're going to send you to a subscription retention specialist. And they kept saying, well, what if we

just gave it to you for you know, a dollar a month? And I went, I don't need it. I'm not working in Dallas anymore. I don't need any I don't need it at all. They go, what about fifty cents a month? No I don't. I don't need it. Okay, I'm gonna send you to my manager now. No, I don't need to talk to your manager. I just need Yeah. Being on the verge of extinction has really made newspapers put on the hard cell, hasn't it. Oh it's so frustrating, so frustrating. Did we do something wrong?

No, I don't live there. That's the problem. You didn't do anything wrong. I don't live there. Oh. God drives me nuts. Well yeah, and they also get weird in their tone. It's like your girlfriend, what are you thinking? Oh right, are you mad at me? Oh? Yeah, like I have to justify it. Yeah. Oh it makes me crazy. And I know how frustrating it is when you have to do the DMV. And if you've got to the DMV without an appointment,

you better block off at least half a day, right. It's like you're gonna go, you're gonna take a number, and you're gonna sit, and you're gonna sit, and you're gonna sit, and you're gonna watch everybody that has an appointment go ahead of you, which is why getting an appointment is the way to go. And you're only supposed to wait and I totally teen minutes or something, and it always ends up being more like twenty five or

thirty. But that's still better than four hours of sitting there waiting, and then inevitably you get to the you get to the person there and they go, oh, you're missing this document. So this happened to me when I first got my very first California driver's license. Has been twelve years since I got it, and they said, well, we need this and we need that. And I was registering my car too. They said, well, well you need your proof of insurance and I said, okay, it's in

the car. Let me just run and get it. They said, well you'll have to You'll have to take a number and get to the back of the line. Oh my gosh, I just spent three hours. Isn't there any way that you can just take the next person and then I'll pop rate back in. It's not how now the rules are the rules. If you meet your driver's license now, you know, you fill it out, then

there's a question on there that says it's the motor voter law. Uh. And they've been doing this for about six years now, and it says, uh, do you want to register to vote at the address on your driver's license? Right? And if you change your address, that's you can also update your voter registrations, the motor voter law, and there are a bunch of states that have some form of motor voter law. I guess it's a half the state. Twenty five states have some form of automatic voter registration at

state agencies. California is one of fourteen states with a system that prompts you to choose. All right, that makes perfect sense to me. I'm registering with the state. You've got my address, you've got my information. You know, I'm a real person. Have to have a you know, I had to have my my driver's license. I think I'm trying to remember now it's been a while, but I think I had to have my driver's license

from the last state where I lived. And then I also had to have a birth certificate, which I thought was strange because if I had a driver's license from the previous state, in this case, it was Kansas, then wouldn't that wouldn't that hint to you that I also had a like, I'm already legal I there, But no, they needed my birth certiviate. So I had to call my mom, And I called mom, what what you know? It's one of those deals. So finally I said, I need

the birth certificate. And I get through to her that I needed the birth certificate and this is I swear to you. My mother says, I really don't want to send that to you. I like having that here. So my mother was collecting my vital documents like they were my kindergarten spelling tests. I don't know if you've got this. My mother has this giant trunk of crap from when I was in elementary school, just a bunch of stuff from

when I was anywhere from like kindergarten through sixth grade or something. And I don't know is this a woman thing, because my wife has done the same thing. We have moved. We've got three kids, and she decided they all needed a trunk. And I have moved three trunks full of crap from Arizona to Kansas, to San Diego to Arizona to Michigan. And now they're in a storage unit in Michigan. And I said, why am I still moving these things? There's such a pain. She says, I don't want

to let it. I have to hang on to them. It's the memories of my children. And you are never going to pull up this d that Jacob got in second grade. Ever, so the kids were we were in northern Michigan, which, by the way, I'm going on vacation here this weekend. So we were in northern Michigan and my mother and my mother might

as wellman, my wife insisted that I get all three trunks. Now they all weigh about ten thousand pounds, and I had to pull them all down off of a shelf and I had to drag them into the VRBO, and she insisted that all of the kids go through their trunks. And in my mind, I'm thinking, oh good, They're going to go through the trunks. They're going to decide what they want to keep and what can go.

And I'm gonna I'm going to be able to shrink this mesas down. I'm gonna be able to go through these, you know, these third grade geography quizzes, and I'm gonna be able to get rid of these things. No, she had them go through every document, every piece of paper, every little test, every little school project, all these things that she had me lugging around from Kansas to from Arizona to Kansas to California back to Arizona and

then to Michigan. And I and she says, okay, now everybody put them back, and then Chris will put them back up on the shelf. And again these things weigh, not joking, sixty to eighty pounds, depending on the kid. Some kids she likes more than the others. And I've got they're just sitting on a shelf. They're just taking up space. So it drives me nut. So anyway, I called my mother and I asked for this bursar to Vegas that I can get my California driver's license. And

Mom says, I don't want to give that up. I want to hang on to that. So I had to pay I don't remember how much it was, fifteen bucks, twenty five bucks something like that to contact the a Department of Vital Statistics or whatever and get copies of my birth certificate so that I could have some on hand if ever I wanted to get a passport or a California driver's license. So I did that, and then at the time, again this was twelve years ago, I had to sign up. I

had also go in and register to vote separately. Now you can do it with the motor voter registration. Well, now they want there's a bill that's been proposed that would remove the question do you want to register to vote, and it would just automatically register you to vote. The idea here, they say the bill aims to capture the states four point seven million residents who are unregistered but eligible to vote, and who are predominantly black, Latino, Asian,

or younger. I don't know. I don't know who's younger than Asian, but I guess that's a whole other statistic. Opponents say that registering to vote should be voluntary, and they don't see the bill as an effective way to increase voter diversity. Here's the only downside that I see to like,

I don't have any problem with it. Register that's great, get people registered, the registered to vote, and then you eliminate confusion on election day, and you eliminate people who are claiming that the sky is falling, the election is rigged, the registered people voting or not voting, or provisional ballots, and all the other crap, like get rid of all that. That's fine. This would this would tighten that all up. I'm all for it. The only downside I can see, it's a pretty minor one, is that

it is a little bit tougher to keep the voter rolls clean. So you got people that are leaving California, and how many of those people are likely to come to contact the DMV or the elections official or whatever and then have their information removed? And I did have this happen in one sait I was in Arizona. They had the motor voter registration and I moved and they said, but my registration was still live in Arizona. So I had to send

a letter proving that I no longer living there. So I could have them just drop me from the rules. I'd prove it was me, I'd prove I no longer live there, all that other stuff. So you have a number of people that are leaving California, right, and are they going to are they going to do this stuff? And you can actually argue this already

happening with people that are leaving the state. But now, I mean, if you're adding an extra five million people to the roles, and these are people who otherwise didn't take it upon themselves to keep their paperwork straight in the

first place, are they likely to remove themselves from the voter rules? And I don't know, we're gonna be able to keep the voter rules clean, and then you're going to have people screaming, well they were registered in California and in Utah and ooh, election of stolen and I don't want to deal with that crap. Pomona is looking at a new rule that would give income for everyone. Sounds pretty good if you don't have a job. I'll tell

you who qualifies for that. Next you're listening too later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI A sixty. How about income for everybody? Mark? This sounds good to you, doesn't it? Everybody gets a paycheck. I've been reading studies about that lately, so I'm anxious to hear what you got that they that some places are saying the universal income programs are very beneficial to the communities. That lifts up the whole community. So Pomona is launching a universal

income program that will give money to hundreds of residents through a lottery. Oh wait a minute, it's the Pomona Housing Excuse me, the Pomona Household Universal Grant Program, which they're calling HUG. It should be pug phu gene with the silent pea pen, but they're calling it HUG. The household Universal Grand. It will choose six hundred eligible residents and assign them to two groups, a paid group and a control group. You know what sucks being in the

control group? Yeah, you don't want the money plus CBO, do you? No? No, you don't, Okay, So the paved group. And here's where it's not even like they're splitting it half and half. So it's six hundred people. Two hundred and fifty residents are in the paid group. Three hundred fifty residents are getting as you put it, the money placebo. They're getting only twenty dollars a month. The two hundred and fifty residents are getting five hundred dollars a month. So what a big difference there isn't

there? Yeah? Wow. Eligibility requirements include you have to be a resident to pomone at the time of application. You have to be eighteen years or old at the time of application. You have to have a ratty kid under four at the time of application, and you have to be you have to meet at least one of the four American Rescued plan At qualifiers I don't pull

out. And then you have to agree to consent to a research study conducted by UCLI hold on one of the four requirements of the American rest Thank you, blah blah blah, detailed eligibility requirements. Oh man, this is allrdy to come. Does it involve getting a tattoo? Oh? That would be great, wouldn't it? Okay, you have to have experienced a negative impact due to the COVID nineteen program a pandemic, including you or anyone in your

household experiencing unapplointment during the pandemic. Ooh I did you were anyone in your household experiencing increased food or housing insecurity during or as a result of the pandemic. Your home address would have to be located within a qualified census trap.

You would be currently receiving any of the other benefits like telgrants, tree and reduced price lunches, Headstart, Low Income Energy SNAP benefits, Medicaid, medical Children's health insurance, blah blah blah, or your household income has to be certain and then if you are in those categories, then you are entered into the lottery. And then you have less than a fifty percent chance of getting five hundred dollars a month for eighteen months, five hundred bucks a month could

make a big difference. It's not good. It's not like you can live on the five hundred dollars a month. All program participants can also participate in surveys from UCLA. Each completed survey will include a fifty dollars bonus payment. I'd be taken on the circles anything, let's see counseling benefits, blah blah

blah. Lottery to select winners would be held on July tenth. Applications are open until July eighth, and if you are selected, the first payments are scheduled to be dispersed through a leak reloadable debit card on August twenty sixth, So that's coming. But if you are selected and then you're sitting on your keyster for the next six weeks because you know you've got a five hundred dollars check coming in, that's not a good sign. So hopefully that's not what

you're doing. But it could potentially offer some relief. Make it a lottery really makes it sound dystopian, doesn't Yes, Yeah, why not just have trial by combat while you're at it? Okay, Oh, what a great plan. Yeah, but there's a presidential nominee that suggested trial by combat. Yeah, yeah, I think that happened. Yeah, it is a bizarre, bizarre way of doing it. I don't know that I can think of

necessarily a better way other than first come, first serve. I'll say this, anytime you're participating in participating in any sort of a research study, there's always the chance that you were in the control group, and that sucks. And I'll give you an example of this. When I lived in Lawrence, Kansas, the university used to be these research studies, and so they would look for people to participate, and my wife and I got involved. No

excuse me, I got involved, my wife and not. I got involved in one that was all about it was a weight loss then, and the study was whether or not in person meetings were more effective than tell a meeting like support groups like weight watchers used to do. You know how, I used to you go on the program that youn go meet once a week or whatever and just discuss your trials, tripulation, successes, failures, all that

kind of stuff. I always did assume those were for hookups strictly. Uh see, I'm I'm gonna say things that are gonna get me in trouble and I don't want to do that, okay, sorry, No. I definitely looked better at the end of it, and I would probably be somebody that that people would want to hook up with at the end, but certainly out of the communing, all right. But I think that there were people that were in a control group who just they just were told to go on a

diet and and see how much weight they lost. So my group, I was on the phone group. I never I didn't have to go in everything, which was great, and I lost a decent amount of weight and it was successful and all that other stuff. But I think there were people that didn't have anything were just said, why don't you try dieting on your own

and see how it goes. And I thought that sucks being in that control group because I was getting free food, I was getting the support, I was getting, uh, you know, counseling for you know, what are you facing with you all this stuff I was in. And then I thought, there's these other people that wanted to lose weight. They joined a research study, and what's up happening is they're just kind of set out on their own and they say, can you just come back and weigh in once a

month. Yeah, they're just like sink or swim tubby. You're on your own right. But the thing is is that before they got involved in the group, they were in this exact same situation. So big part of the control group always sucks. Always. You never want to be a part of the control ever, unless, of course, you're testing some drug that you know, rows odd limbs or something like that. I'm bizarre. The Supreme Court is in the headlines because they are dropping all kinds of opinions. We

are expecting more to pop out tomorrow. I'll tell you what the high profile ones are that are left and why the Supreme Court is all about showmanship. That is next. I'm Chris Merrill and from O Kelly I am six quarter Relive everywhere in your iHeartRadio app you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. It is Supreme Court Opinion Season. I love Supreme Court Opinion Season. I swear to I love it so hard because cases

that make it to the Supreme Court are usually tough ones. They challenge the Constitution in a way that hasn't been challenged before, or they validate decisions that have been decided before. The one thing that the Supreme Court is doing us a little bit different than previous Supreme courts is that they're not giving the same amount of deference to precedent. Obviously, Roe v. Wade being overturned means that they looked at precedent for years past and they said no, that no

longer applies. So there are some cases that the Supreme Court undoubtedly is going to hear that that should already be decided case import they get to accept it. But the ACLU is challenging this law that has just passed in Louisiana. So, Louisiana passes this law that says that all publicly funded schools have to post the ten Command in all of the classrooms from kindergarten through all of the publicly funded universities. And they say, well, this is just a it's

a moral guideline from the original rule maker posts. I think it was I think it was John Oliver that pointed out that no, no, the Egyptians were making rules well more then so. But nonetheless, what is curious about this is that this has sort of been challenged in Supreme Court numerous times Kentucky had a law and again I believe this was pointed out on John Oliver's shown, but it was a Kentucky law in nineteen eighty that was very similar and

the courts back then said, no, you can't. This is an endorsement of a religion. It's a public endorsement of our religion. Louisiana said, we are going to do it anyway. And why do they say it, Well, that's because the court has I don't want to say packed, I think that's an overstate, but the court definitely has a very conservative ideological lean now more conservative socially conservative than what they've had in the past, as evidence

by overturning over Wade and everything would come since then. So if the Louisiana law gets to the Supreme Court, will the Supreme Court find a way to say that it is legal? We saw this a few years ago. There was a case out of the state of Washington where a coach was praying with students on the football and the supposition was that if the coach is praying with students and it's voluntary, what student for student athlete football player blughead wants to

wants to skip out on that optional team activity. The coach, being the leader, may notice that you are not participating in his prayer circle. And if you're not participating, is he likely to give preferential treatment to those who do participate? In other words, you are ingratiating yourself into his circle of the influence, right, And so that was challenged. It goes to the courts, and the courts say, no, it's totally okay because you're not

compelled to participate. That's different than what we've seen from other courts. Other courts would have said, now, if you are a representative of the school, you can't be endorsing anyone religion. And that's what we're seeing there in

State Washington. So is the court likely to also find that even though Louisiana is quite specifically endorsing the Judaeo Christian traditions at the Ten Commandments, are they going to say, well, that's all right because you don't have to read the Ten Commandments even though they're going to be posted in front of your face everywhere you go. We don't know how the sportsman Louisiana has decided that they are going to take a shot at them. So that's what they're doing.

And so as we look at these different decisions that are coming from the Supreme Court, we are kind of trying to read the tea leaves as to how they may rule for future cases. And there are some coming up in the future here that that I think are going to have a sizeable impact to not a large number of people, but sort of the direction that the country goes

when it comes to accepting people of different social ilk. For instance, the Supreme Court is set to hear a challenge they announced this last week that will challenge the Tennessee law that bans transition care for minors. So, in the state of Tennessee, if you have young people who say that they are not identifying as their birth gender and they want to start, for instance, mormonal

therapy or even a counseling, that they would be prohibited from doing. So, I know what happens as a lot of people read into this and they say, oh, no, that just bans surgery without the parents' permission. And you've probably seen memes about this about how well, you can't rent the car, you can't vote, you can't buy cigarettes, you can't buy alcohol, but you even lop off your penis without your parents' permission when you're thirteen years old. No, you can't. There's no state that says, sure,

just pop on in for transition surgery. We're happy to do it for you. And mostly that's because thirteen year olds don't have the money to pay for it. But I'm joking. No, you definitely have to have parental permission, but your modal treatment can start at a younger age with parental consent and of course through psychological counseling and this sort of thing that goes into it. Tennessee has said Nope, none of that, so that's been challenged going

to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will have to decide whether or not somebody who's under the age of eighteen, with parental consent or whatever else is going on here, will have the ability to to go through that transition. The outcome of that will will be more about parental rights than it is about transitioning. King It's this is a parental It's going to be portrayed as an LGBTQ case, but it really is a parental rights case. It's a rights

case for people under the age of eighteen. It's a parental rights case. And suppose I'm a parent and I have dealt with my kid going through puberty, and my child, from a very young age has not identified with their birth gender. And as a parent, I know something's not right, and I take them to a psychologist and the psychologist agrees that now they are they're misgendered basically right. And I know this is a relatively new science, especially

it's new to acceptance for a lot of them. So let's suppose that I, as a parent, then go to a doctor and the doctor says, okay, I'm evaluating, and the psychologist is a valuator, and he, as a paredes is the value and the and the patient themselves say that they're being misgendered. Can we start hormonal treatment? And Tennessee is saying no, But as a parent, I go, I think this is what's best for

my kid. So is that it's not necessarily LGBTQ plus rights, even though that is the vehicle being used to set a Supreme Court, it's more of a parental rights case anyway, as the as the verdicts come out this you know this, the verdicts were coming out this week, and we start to get a little bit of insight into these Justices. It gives us an ability to get out our crystal ball and suppose how they're going to opine on some

of these future cases. All right, that's enough. I just love Supreme Court stuff because it's never what it seems, and it's always there's always two legitimate arguments to most every case that makes it from of the Supreme Court. And I I geek out on it, all right, I Chris Merril k if I am sexporting your life everywhere in your iHeartRadio app. You're listening to

Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. Remember you're gonna be able to hear the CNN presidential debate tomorrow at six pm on CNN and simulcast on KFI. And then right after that debate will come on and just rambled about whatever we just heard. So that you got that going for you. I know you're looking forward to it, Mark, if you don't mind it Thursday, not tomorrow, Tomorrow's Wednesday. Oh I'm sorry, I got my days all messed up. Yeah, yeaheah, you're right, dang,

I was thinking we had the short show tomorrow Thursday. Well, the week's flying by so fast. You could blame it. I know, I ain't that a border. Okay, So Thursday, yeah, okay, Thursday, six pm, very good CNN Presidential Debate. I don't really thought it was Wednesday. Oh my head is all screwed up. Well, we all lose a day here and there. I know, I was thinking about the Supreme Court cases, and you see that they changed their schedule, so they're going

to do releases on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday. So I, for whatever reason, I had my mind today it was Wednesday and we were going to released since Thursday. Whatever, it doesn't matter. What do you have? Oh, I do a segment when I do the Sunday Show. Please feel free to join me Sunday afternoons. I'm campfind is called La Law, and I take a look at the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that

there ought to be a law. Basically, I just sound like a crash of the old man complaining about the kids these days, the laws they break and why they all do it. For TikTok Cloud. One of the stories that is popping up has everything to do with the You remember the incident from a few weeks ago where deputies excuse me not deputies that would be Shrif's department.

Officers from Burbank picked up a homeless guy and they took him just over into the city limits of Los Angeles, right out in front of one of the council member's office, the president, Paul Grecorian, and they just dropped the homeless person off and then they drove away. So cops taking almost person and dropping them in Los Angeles and then driving off. So that obviously has created a bit of a stirt. And so now the LA City Council is

demanding answers and accountability for Burbank officials. Not if you remember this the details of the story, but the way that Burbank explained it when when the video was first released was odd Corecrean says, the Burbank police department putting this man in handcuffs and taking him to the city of Los Angeles where someone else will deal with it. And obviously this is a callous pool and then humane,

also fundamentally irresponsible. So Burbank said that officers were initially called to the hospital for reports of a naked man at a bus stop. They sit, so obviously the guy's got some mental illness issues, right, they see The man eventually got dressed, got into the patrol vehicle and asked to be dropped off in the North Hollywood area. The department says they're conducting an in depth investigation. Here is the state. I love this. This this is the best.

I mean, this sounds like me lying to my parents and making up the most convoluted concoction of garbage in order for my parents. Maybe they'll believe this one. So here's what they said. As the individual did not appear to have transportation, and to gain cooperation for the individual to put on cloathing, the officers offered to drive the individual to a place of his choosing. Okay, Vegas. Oh no, now Vegas. You'll just take him into

LA's pot. Okay great. The statements from the police went on to say, initially the individual was asked to be taken to Sunlan and ultimately agree to be transported to the Metro red Line in North Hollywood. He voluntarily got into the patrol vehicle and was driven toward the Metro red Line station. Along the way, the individual asked to be led out of the patrol vehicle to get

coffee. The officers complied immediately with his request. Over and let the individual out of the patrol vehicle in the fifty two hundred block of Lancasham Boulevard. The Burbank Police Department remains committed to treating the unhouse community with compassion and respect and thanks Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krane for bringing this matter to our

attention. The police did not address why the man was in handcuffs. Okay, so to get this, here's why this doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Suppose that you are just smashed out of your corn. You went to a house party and you are smashed. You don't want to drive your vehicle. You don't want to drive, and so you decide you're going to stumble now in your drunken stupor you forgot that you live six and a half miles away, because you think I'll just walked. It's fine, it's just takeing me

a little lone and I'll get there and where there's fine. So then you start stumbling down the road. A cruiser pulls up and sees you trying to walk a straight line on a side and it's not going very well. So the cruiser pulls over, checks on your your well being, right, okay, so far. So the cruiser says, what are you doing. You go, I'm going home. And the officer say, how much have you had to drink tonight? You go, I just had a couple of beers. I'm fine, And they go, oh, okay, well listen,

we're a little bit concerned for your safety. Everybody's flying so far right, And you go, no, no, no, no, no, I'm I'm I'm I'm just I just live up there around the city and I'm just gonna I'm fine. And they say, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna wake here with you and we're going to contact somebody to come get you. That's where the story deviates from what we're seeing from the police.

Excuse you. The police don't say, well, why don't you put on these handcuffs, jump on end, and we'll take you wherever you want to go. You see the police say, let's get somebody to come pick you up. In fact, if you are a passenger, let's say you've had a few to drink, and you're a passenger in a car and the drivers had a few to drink and you go out. Your driver says, I'll give your ride home I'm I'm sober to drive and find and they get pulled

over for drinking and driving. The police will say, let's do a test, and then they go, you you're drinking. We're going to take you in right to U irens. In the meantime, you're a passenger, you haven't done anything wrong, and the police say, you know what, we're gonna wait here with you. The car is going to be towed, we're going to make sure you get home safely. We'll wait while you call somebody. It's not like they're saying, oh, you know what we are,

We're we're Boo Burbank's finus uber. That's not happening. And certainly they don't say. You don't say, hey, listen, if you're gonna give me a ride home, can I just put on some handcuffs? Does those look

fun? Nope, it doesn't happen. So the story about, well, they wanted to ride, so we thought we'd give him a ride anywhere he wanted to go, and he just happened to want to go somewhere not in Burbank, and so we threw some cuffs on him, and he wanted to stop and get coffee, so we thought, sure, coffee sounds great. It doesn't make any certense. It doesn't make sense at all. So I'm not buying. I can tell you buy it. As a reporter, if

outfits investigate themselves, they have a weird tendency to exonerate themselves. Have you noticed this? That's bizarre. That is like when I'm a teenager and my parents think I'm lying and they say, why don't you tell us if you're lying? And I go, Nope, I'm not, and they go, good enough, bras, yep, move on, yep, everything seems fine here he said he wasn't lying. What can I do but believe him. Let's just gratitude. And by the way, you get quicker service in Starbucks

if you're cuffed. Yeah, I'm not buying, not buying it at at all. Chris Maryland from O'Kelly k IF I am supported.
