Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lad with MOA.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here is my final thought. I didn't acknowledge it earlier.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You might have heard in the news reports that thousands
of people were protesting in Washington, DC and all around
the country on this being President's Day. People are quote
unquote angry at President Trump and what Elon Musk are doing.
And they're calling this a five oh five oh one movement,
(00:41):
which stands for fifty protests fifty states one movement. Do
you all know what I'm getting ready to say? Can
you tell me what I'm getting ready to say. I
understand that some people may not support President Trump. I
understand the anger intellectually at what Elon Musk is doing,
and how he has not been elected, how he has
(01:04):
not been appointed and also confirmed by the Senate as
a member of the Cabinet, how he does not constitutionally
have any of the powers that he is using right now,
be it to look at your personal IRS data or
any other data for that matter. I understand why you
(01:25):
are concerned. I understand why you're even angry and quote
this is what one of the organizers said, as far
as the protest was concerned. To oppose tyranny is to
stand behind democracy and remind our elected officials that we
the people, are who they're elected to serve, not themselves.
The events over the past month have been built to
(01:46):
exhaust us, to break our wills.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But we are the American people. We will not break close. Quote.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's a nice quote, it's a nice sentiment. But once again,
if you actually were paying attention as an informed voter,
Donald Trump, the candidate and then former president, told you
step by step exactly what he was going to do.
That he was going to bring Elon Musk into his administration,
(02:12):
that he was going to allow Elon Musk to form
DOZE the Department of Government Efficiency, that it would not
be an official arm of the government. That he was
going to empower Elon Musk to root out government waste
quote unquote wherever that is, and however he was going
to do it, and he had free reign. He said
that before the election, and you know what, you did nothing.
(02:35):
You did not show up on election day. You were
not there. Either you stayed home or you had a
protest vote a protest of another kind of people like
Jill Stein. Maybe you thought, like in twenty sixteen, that
Donald Trump could not possibly win again given the events
of the past few years, given the court cases, given
the belligerent behavior in the debate, you thought there was
(02:57):
no way he could win. But he did, and he
told you it advanced what he was going to do.
And you can protest three hundred and sixty five days
of the year in all fifty states, and you can
raise your voices and keep on crying as loud as
you want, and not a g damn thing is going
(03:18):
to change. Why Because the election is over and you
again missed your moment. So whatever happens, you allowed to
happen because you had every opportunity to make sure that
it did not. For KFI AM six forty, I'm O Kelly.
(03:49):
Earlier in the show tonight, I was talking about how
there was legitimate speculation as to whether sports broadcaster and
analyst Steph A. Smith would throw his hat into the
ring and run for president. To be fair Smith, he
said that he's more disinclined to run than anything, but
it is something he at least casually has considered. And
(04:11):
I don't know personally. I don't personally know the guy.
I only pseudo met him once while on opposite sides
of an issue, you know, debating politics on MSNBC many
years ago. In fact, it was the Chris Matthews Show.
I say that to say he has been trending in
this direction for a mighty long time. But I wouldn't
(04:31):
presume to know him or his politics. But this is
not about that. This is not even about him per se.
This is about us as a country. This is about
how we have devalue the importance of the presidency, where
now it's just about whether someone likes you enough on TV,
(04:51):
or whether you have a large following, or whether you
have a large social media presence. If you do well,
then you can be seriously considered for the position of
leader of the free world.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Ain't that something? Carry the nuclear football set both our.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Domestic and foreign policy agendas, send troops into battle, maybe
even to their deaths, make decisions which could define history
and or destroy us as a nation, because that's where
we are as a nation. You need not have any
applicable experience on any level, because that's how little we
(05:30):
think of what it means to become president of the
United States. Because right now, as of twenty twenty five,
we want to be entertained more than anything. Here's the
flip side, and the flip side is that the people
considering and maybe even actually running, like Steven A. Smith,
they also think just as little of the job. Here's
(05:53):
how I know, because they only endeavor to start at
the very top. They've managed nothing, they've never led an agency,
managed a bureaucracy, but ready to step in and manage
more than two million federal employees on top of those
other aforementioned responsibilities which are very very important. And they
(06:15):
think that they can do that, that they're ready to
do that, that they're qualified to do that because they
have some sort of cool podcasts or some sort of
an engaging TV personality. And don't get me wrong, Steven A.
Smith has a cool podcast, he has an engaging personality,
but don't tell me he's qualified to do anything that
(06:35):
the President of the United States is required to do.
And these individuals, it's not limited to Stephen A. Smith,
but they aren't content to run for state assembly or
mayor demonstrate that at least on a small level, a
local level, that they are of the metal mettl e
to become any elected official. They just go straight to
(06:57):
president who thinks like that. I mean, evidently Stephen A. Smith,
Donald Trump and others and of course millions of would
be voters, because we're okay with that. It's one thing
to think that you can run, it's another thing to
vote for that person. So it's all of us. It's
about us as a country. We've turned the phrase career
(07:17):
politician into some sort of slur or scarlet letter, as
if there's no competency requirement attached. Imagine for me, for
just a moment, imagine pointing at someone and calling him
or her a career doctor or career accountant, or career
teacher or career pilot, and thinking that's some sort of insult.
(07:39):
Put all those jobs together times five thousand, and they
won't ever have the collective responsibility of one president of
the United States. They won't touch as many lives, they
won't be responsible for protecting as many lives, or appoint
Supreme Court justices who will preside for the next forty years.
But nonetheless, we require fewer qualifications than any of those
five thousand doctors, teachers are pilots. We only require our
(08:03):
candidates to become president of the United States, to become
leader of the free world. We only require that they
say stuff we like retire America because eventually, Eventually, there
will be consequences for not prioritizing qualifications for k If
I am six forty, I'm mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It goes without saying that. I'm going to say it anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
This world is changing so very fast, probably faster than
any of us could have ever imagined growing up, or
at least when I was growing up. I dreamed of
the day of just having my own phone in my room.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I'm not talking about my own number.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm talking about my own physical rotary or touchtone phone. Yes,
I said rotary that I could answer in my own room.
That was the dream once upon a time. Now I
got my own phone and personal computer on my hip,
put it in my pocket, which communicates with my watch
on my wrist, and you know what, I upgrade just
(09:19):
about every single year both of them. I can use
my phone in my car thanks to Bluetooth. In fact,
I can answer of calls on my wrist. I can
play music through my wrist. I could talk to my
phone and tell it to call anyone and everyone, as
if there's some mini person in my dashboard dialing the
phone for me. It's like the Jetsons, but in real life.
(09:41):
And you got to be a certain age to remember
what life was like with the advent of the mobile phone,
combined that with the Internet and the world in nineteen
ninety five. Back then, it's nothing like now in twenty
twenty five. In my day, we didn't have computers in
every classroom for all students. We had a single room
a computer lab that you had to walk to to
(10:03):
use a computer for a limited amount of time. And
there was no internet teachers, and this is the point
of this. Teachers back then only had to deal with
students having sony walkman's remember them, I do, or calculators
remember them. And don't get me wrong, I wanted to
communicate with the girls in my class just like anyone else.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It was high school. I mean I was going through puberty.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
But the only way we could communicate back then was
passing notes, which was tantamount to the pony Express, very
low tech.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
But here's my point.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Students today have all of that in just their mobile phone,
from the computer to the walkman, to the calculator, to
the passing note communicator, all of it. It is heaven
in a box for an adolescent. They can talk with
their crushes all day and all night, and not make
a sound.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Mom and Dad would be none the wiser but worse.
In a word, they are addicted. In fact, so are
the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And despite that addiction, or maybe because of it, our
children are relatively speaking, less educated than ever before. And
although LAUSD may have taken a very very small step
to try to correct both, there has to be far
more done. And parents don't pull the phone news back
because those phones serve a purpose for them as well,
(11:29):
a constant tether in this very very dangerous world.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't condone it, but I damn sure understand it.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I do wonder if we are better off today
with this proliferation of cell phone technology, because we're all
pretty much generally dumber than ever before. I'm not sure
are we more dumb than ever before? It sure seems
like it, It sure sounds like it. We surely act
like it from the way we talk to each other,
(11:58):
from the way we communicate with each other. Ask a teacher.
When a child turns in a paper, they're turning in shorthand,
they're turning in text shorthand they're not even communicating in
complete sentences. And that is a direct derivative of the
texting the environment and the way we speak to each
other on our phones. And we know from the State
(12:18):
of Education, at least here in California, we are performing
worse than ever before, although we have this technology which
is supposedly making life easier for us, more so than
ever before.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Are we generally dumber or not given all this technology.
And after I send these texts, and after I post
on social media, and after I check all my emails
on my phone, I'll let you know. For k if
I am six forty, I'm O Kelly. Earlier in the show,
(13:08):
I was talking about Beaesels and it disappointed me where
we've progressed or regressed actually as a country. And I
was asking the question, did you know that one hundred
and seven thousand, five hundred people worldwide died from measles
in twenty twenty three, not infected, not hospitalized, but died
(13:29):
from measles? And did you also know that most of
the one hundred and seven thousand, five hundred people who
died from measles were not only children, but under the
age of five, children under the.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Age of five.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Did you know that about one in five unvaccinated people
who get measles will be hospitalized about twenty percent, and
one out of every one thousand people who are infected
with measles will develop brains and quite possibly brain damage.
And you probably think, well, that's reassuring, that's not a
(14:05):
very high percentage. All right, Well how about this one
in twenty that's five percent of those infected will develop pneumonia.
And we all know about the complications of pneumonia and
how it's pretty easy to die from pneumonia, especially with
an advanced age. But here's some other stats to at
least consider. One to three people of every thousand infected
(14:27):
with measles will die even with the best care. In
other words, it doesn't matter if it's in Asia, it
doesn't matter if it's in Ukraine, doesn't matter it's in
Africa where most die from measles because they are the
least vaccinated. One in three who are infected out of
a thousand will die even with the best care. And
it kind of goes back to the whole asteroid hitting
(14:49):
the Earth and the plane hitting the side of the mountain,
analogy that I often use.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It may not be a.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
High mortality rate until it involves your child and the
possibility that he or she might end up as one
of the one hundred and seven thousand, five hundred children
worldwide who dies of measles. There's just some things you
don't play with. There's some games you don't play. And
I'm only talking about those who are unvaccinated and infected.
(15:18):
And speaking of unvaccinated, here's another step that I really
want you to consider on this evening. More than ninety
percent of those who were unvaccinated, including your unvaccinated children,
and also come in close proximity to someone infected with measles,
will also become infected. In other words, if you're unvaccinated
and you come in contact with someone who's infected with measles,
(15:41):
there's a ninety percent chance of you contracting measles. If
you are elderly and unvaccinated for measles, your outcomes, of
course are worse, worse in terms of contracting it, to pneumonia,
to brain swelling and even death. And what bothers me
the most is we're not talking about a COVID vaccine,
which was relatively new. I say relatively because it's twenty
(16:04):
twenty five now. COVID was twenty nineteen and twenty twenty
MMR measles, mumps, and rubella. That vaccine has been around
since nineteen sixty three. That's longer than anyone on this
show has been alive. And my ass is getting old.
It wasn't luck or heard immunity that measles had largely
(16:26):
been eradicated. It was because people still trusted science, still
believed in doctors, and that had not changed in the sixties, seventies, eighties,
nineties and so forth. Measles, polio, whoopee cough, and others
have re emerged in twenty twenty five because we collectively
stopped believing in science. We the non doctors, the non physicians,
(16:52):
believe that we knew more than the doctors, than the virologists,
the pathologists, the immunologists, the epidemiologists. But here's the truth.
We don't actually know more. We just believe we know more,
and it ain't true. And because we have placed YouTube
research over peer review studies, here we are dealing with
(17:14):
another measles outbreak in America. Two doses of the measles
vaccine are over ninety seven percent effective. Just in case,
math and science are still welcome in this country. Twenty
YouTube videos espousing the contrary are zero percent effective. Now,
(17:35):
it may be just me, but I'll choose the ninety
seven percent over the zero any day of the week.
But for you, choose wisely, for our children's and Grandmammy's sake.

how it's pretty easy to die from pneumonia, especially with
an advanced age. But here's some other stats to at
least consider. One to three people of every thousand infected
(14:27):
with measles will die even with the best care. In
other words, it doesn't matter if it's in Asia, it
doesn't matter if it's in Ukraine, doesn't matter it's in
Africa where most die from measles because they are the
least vaccinated. One in three who are infected out of
a thousand will die even with the best care. And
it kind of goes back to the whole asteroid hitting
(14:49):
the Earth and the plane hitting the side of the mountain,
analogy that I often use.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It may not be a.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
High mortality rate until it involves your child and the
possibility that he or she might end up as one
of the one hundred and seven thousand, five hundred children
worldwide who dies of measles. There's just some things you
don't play with. There's some games you don't play. And
I'm only talking about those who are unvaccinated and infected.
(15:18):
And speaking of unvaccinated, here's another step that I really
want you to consider on this evening. More than ninety
percent of those who were unvaccinated, including your unvaccinated children,
and also come in close proximity to someone infected with measles,
will also become infected. In other words, if you're unvaccinated
and you come in contact with someone who's infected with measles,
(15:41):
there's a ninety percent chance of you contracting measles. If
you are elderly and unvaccinated for measles, your outcomes, of
course are worse, worse in terms of contracting it, to pneumonia,
to brain swelling and even death. And what bothers me
the most is we're not talking about a COVID vaccine,
which was relatively new. I say relatively because it's twenty
(16:04):
twenty five now. COVID was twenty nineteen and twenty twenty
MMR measles, mumps, and rubella. That vaccine has been around
since nineteen sixty three. That's longer than anyone on this
show has been alive. And my ass is getting old.
It wasn't luck or heard immunity that measles had largely
(16:26):
been eradicated. It was because people still trusted science, still
believed in doctors, and that had not changed in the sixties, seventies, eighties,
nineties and so forth. Measles, polio, whoopee cough, and others
have re emerged in twenty twenty five because we collectively
stopped believing in science. We the non doctors, the non physicians,
(16:52):
believe that we knew more than the doctors, than the virologists,
the pathologists, the immunologists, the epidemiologists. But here's the truth.
We don't actually know more. We just believe we know more,
and it ain't true. And because we have placed YouTube
research over peer review studies, here we are dealing with
(17:14):
another measles outbreak in America. Two doses of the measles
vaccine are over ninety seven percent effective. Just in case,
math and science are still welcome in this country. Twenty
YouTube videos espousing the contrary are zero percent effective. Now,
(17:35):
it may be just me, but I'll choose the ninety
seven percent over the zero any day of the week.
But for you, choose wisely, for our children's and Grandmammy's sake.
