I'm sure it's a dominance thing, but 37 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.959 he just like sits on his head. He's like, I'm 38 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.479 not done with my food yet, and just sits on him. 39 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.840 They're kids there, just rambunctious little kids. And it's also 40 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.520 it's a Disney day. I got my Disney Spirit jersey 41 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.840 on head into Disneyland after the show today. 42 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.280 Haven't been for a while, so I'm excited. 43 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:20.759 Fun. 44 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.599 Yep, they got food and wine festival going on, so 45 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.840 I will be partaking in both food and wine. Here's 46 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.719 what's ahead on your Friday morning wake up call. A 47 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.120 man who allegedly stole a car, led police on a chase, 48 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.520 and caused a crash that killed a San Bernardino County 49 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.879 Sheriff's deputy has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder. 50 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.960 The crash happened Monday. Deputy Hector Kuavos Junior was killed 51 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.919 in the crash that split his patrol car in two. 52 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.800 Ryan Turner was arrested later that day. Residents of a 53 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.919 forty seven unit apartment complex in Altadnev held a rally. 54 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.599 They're calling for their homes to be fixed two and 55 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.280 a half months after they were damaged and eaten fire. 56 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.719 The building is still standing, but it's damaged. Residents say 57 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.439 they don't have electricity or gas, and there's mold, burned 58 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.199 walls and ash. Residents say they just want their units 59 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.400 cleaned up and utilities restored. Hours after President Trump signed 60 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.439 an executive order calling for the dismantling of the Department 61 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.080 of Education, LA School Superintendent Alberto Carvallo said that undermining 62 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.319 current funding levels could prove to be catastrophic to the 63 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.039 quality of education for students. We're going to get more 64 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.039 about what's getting cut and what's not and what's next 65 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.400 with ABC's Karen Travers in just a couple of minutes 66 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.599 smoking a. 67 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:33.039 Lot of weed. 68 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.639 ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell you why, if you 69 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.759 care about your heart, you might want to cut back. 70 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.560 We're also talking tracked homes and how you can make 71 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.159 them a little more homey with the house whispered Dean 72 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.400 Sharp and Hi Ho ABC's Willgans will tell us about 73 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.639 Disney's latest offering and what's good on the stream that's 74 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.719 coming up before the end of the hour. So much 75 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.319 going on, Let's get right to it and get started 76 00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.960 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 77 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:04.120 twenty four hour newsroom. UCLA's being sued by a group 78 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.080 representing pro Palestinian protester. 79 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.400 The Council on American and Islamic Relations, says the school 80 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.639 failed to protect protesters during last year's demonstrations against the 81 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.960 war in Gaza. Student Benyamin more Josef says he was 82 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.600 abused by campus police when he was taken into custody. 83 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.439 I haven't forgotten the pinch a tightly wound plastic on 84 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.160 my wrist as I waited on those cold metal bus seats. 85 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.399 I couldn't imagine that my pain would ever end. The 86 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.720 pain my university decided that I deserve. 87 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.519 UCLA has also been targeted for federal review for its 88 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.000 alleged treatment of pro Israeli protesters and Jewish faculty and 89 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.639 staff during the demonstrations. Michael Monks KFI News. 90 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.160 ARST investigators are looking into an explosion at a home 91 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.959 in Pacoima that may have been caused by a guy 92 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.120 making fireworks. A man in his twenties suffered critical burns yesterday. 93 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.360 He's still in the hospital. There were four dogs at 94 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.839 the home. One appeared to be stuck in the rubble 95 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.399 by its leash. It was rescued by firefighters. Twenty six 96 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.560 families had been displaced because of the explosion. 97 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:00.720 The number of. 98 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.560 Homeless people counted in the twenty twenty five Greater LA 99 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.399 Homeless count has dropped five to ten percent. 100 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.639 The count was done last month. 101 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.120 The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority says if the numbers 102 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.199 hold up, they're in line with last year, when the 103 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.120 number of homeless people in the city was down almost 104 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.519 eleven percent and down in the county five percent. The 105 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.079 final numbers from this year's count expected later this spring 106 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.040 or in early summer. SpaceX has completed a successful spy 107 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.399 satellite launch from the coast to Santa Barbara. 108 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:35.199 County three two one technician slift off of the Falcon 109 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.480 nine Go SpaceX Go ROL fifty seven. 110 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.000 The Falcon nine rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force 111 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.959 Base just before midnight last night. The same rocket booster 112 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.879 launched a mission on March eleventh, marking the fastest turnaround 113 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.240 time for a rocket booster in SpaceX history. Let's say 114 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.199 good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, the President 115 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.759 signed the executive order yesterday that he says was forty 116 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.240 five five years in the making. 117 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.720 Yeah, and he says this begins the process of eliminating 118 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.480 the Department of Education, saying that states should have more control. 119 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.360 The President said yesterday we're going to shut it down 120 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.959 as quickly as possible. Now. It's important to note that 121 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.680 in order to end and get rid of a federal 122 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.399 agency or department, it requires congressional action, legislation, and that 123 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.800 would require sixty votes in the Senate, and that seems 124 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.839 very unlikely given the part is in breakdown right now 125 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.000 with Democrats, of course. But the President and his team 126 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.560 and the Secretary of Education Linda McMahon are trying to 127 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.519 take the agency down to studs, you know, strip it 128 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.839 down as much as they can. It was already the 129 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.759 smallest cabinet level agency. Nearly half of the staff have 130 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.720 been laid off, and now they're saying they're going to 131 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.360 shift as many functions as possible to other agencies and 132 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.560 departments so that some critical services can continue. But again, 133 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.959 they're really trying to just break it down as much 134 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.000 as they can, even if they can't fully officially eliminate 135 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.120 it because of Congress. 136 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.399 Right, So I was just going to say, they can 137 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.560 just gut it, like you said, take it down to 138 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.560 the studs. So technically it's still there if Congress won't 139 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.439 remove it, but it will effectively be useless exactly. 140 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.879 And you know that's you could say, somebody else could 141 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.879 reconstitute it in another administration another time if it's still 142 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.040 you know, existed by statutes. But obviously, like the key functions, 143 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.040 the staff, all of that will have been reduced so dramatically. 144 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.839 Okay, Now, the President did say that like key components 145 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.399 of people receiving funding are not going to be affected, 146 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:37.959 So which ones are those? 147 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.680 So what the White House cited yesterday was funding for 148 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.040 low income students and students with disabilities and special needs resources. 149 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.240 There also the programs that the process for students to 150 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.360 apply for college financial aid. Those are things that are 151 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.360 run at the national level at the Department of Education, 152 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.920 residents said yesterday they will continue uninterrupted with no disruptions. 153 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.839 That is what the White House and the Secretary of 154 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.839 Education we're saying too. But there's a big thing here. 155 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.439 They're also saying they're going to get shifted to other 156 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.920 agencies and departments, that those you know, programs would be 157 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.439 operated somewhere else. But they haven't said how that's going 158 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.639 to work and which agencies would be doing it. So 159 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.199 that is, of course, you know, that type of uncertainty 160 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:30.240 is sparking concerns among educators, education advocates, and parents across 161 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:30.720 the country. 162 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.240 Okay, and in his when he signed the executive order, 163 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:39.720 he cited some pretty dismal numbers like that's just crazy, 164 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.000 which I think would bolster the argument that this agency 165 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.720 is not doing what it needs to. 166 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.440 Do, you know, and I think the supporters of this 167 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.720 will say that this will cut the red tape, they 168 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.799 will cut bureaucracy and enable state and local jurisdictions to 169 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:55.679 have more control. 170 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.200 You know. 171 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.440 Acounter to that is that the Education Department doesn't administer 172 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.759 currica or create lessons for students across the nation. 173 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.399 Didn't it do common for though. 174 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.720 In local school districts that well I'm kind of broadly speaking, 175 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.399 I don't know where the statuses of that. I just 176 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.679 to look into a non education expert on these specifics 177 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.480 on that. But most of the funding for public schools 178 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.960 is provided by state and local governments as well. 179 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.120 Okay, I have so many more questions and we don't 180 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.919 have any more time, so we'll have to do it again. 181 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:24.600 Great, are you? 182 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:25.840 Thank you, Karen Drivers. 183 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.320 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 184 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.559 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA Mayor bass 185 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.559 is said to announce a new emergency executive order intended 186 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.000 to help people in Pacific Palisades affected by the wildfires 187 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.000 in January. The order will speed up the rebuilding of 188 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.600 homes and businesses in ways, the mayor says better protect 189 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.840 against wildfires and other climate fueled disasters. The LA Department 190 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.799 of Water Empowers repaired or replaced many of the broken 191 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.720 fire hydrants flagged last year. 192 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.399 The number of non functioning hydrants came to light following 193 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.720 January's deadly Palisades fire. The early time for reports of 194 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.759 the thirteen hundred fifty broken hydrants, twelve hundred and eighty 195 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.440 nine have been addressed. More than eight hundred have been repaired. 196 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.600 Nearly one hundred and fifty replaced. Six were actually working 197 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.120 but just needed water turned on at a nearby valve. 198 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.120 Kfi's Jim Roops says almost two hundred hydrids that were 199 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.519 flagged as broken were actually still functioning, and the DWP 200 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.840 is working with the LA Fire Department on a better 201 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:24.120 system to fix fixed busted hydrants moving forward. More than 202 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.320 two hundred breweries around the world are helping raise money 203 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.720 for LA wildfire relief efforts. Breweries are creating their own 204 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.440 beer that they're calling we Love LA. The beers will 205 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.679 all be different beers, but they will all have the 206 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.320 same logo and a QR code that directs them to 207 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.720 a donation website. Great way to raise some money. The 208 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.720 European Union has delayed its first counter tariffs against the 209 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.840 US until mid April to allow for more time to 210 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.519 have discussions with the Trump administration. ABC's and As de 211 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.960 la Caterra says that gives Americans a little more time 212 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.120 to stock up on French wine at current prices. 213 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.080 As retaliatory tariffs came in response to President Trump's tariffs 214 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.759 on European medals. Trump responded to Europe's proposed tariffs by 215 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.320 threatening to implement a two hundred percent tariff on alcohol 216 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.159 coming from Europe. 217 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.519 An EU spokesperson says the slight change in the timeline 218 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.279 will not diminish the impact of the EU's response. The 219 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.240 NTSB says transportation authorities in Maryland did not do a 220 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.960 proper risk assessment of Baltimore's Key Bridge before it collapsed 221 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.480 last year. 222 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.279 Had they done that, the collapse could have been prevented. 223 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.879 Six construction workers were killed when a cargo ship hit 224 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.679 one of the bridge's pillars. NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendi says 225 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.960 dozens of bridges across the US should have risk assessments done. 226 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.840 The list includes California's Golden Gate and Coronado Bridges, plus 227 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.120 New York's Brooklyn Bridge, Vera Zano, and George Washington Bridges. 228 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.600 A federal judges temporarily blocked the Department of Government Efficiency 229 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.000 from social Security systems that hold personally I identifiable data 230 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.360 on millions of Americans, and the judge's order also requires 231 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.679 DOZE to delete any identifiable data it already has. Labor 232 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:12.519 unions in retirees asked for the emergency order limiting doze's 233 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.000 access to the agency. The department has led the widespread 234 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.000 rediction in the federal workforce. Three people have been indicted 235 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.799 in San Diego for allegedly using children to grow and 236 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:28.519 distribute magic mushrooms. Prosecutors say a married couple and another 237 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.600 man from Fallbrook and Oceanside used a nine and an 238 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.240 eleven year old to help them cultivate, harvest, and sell 239 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:41.039 psilocybin mushrooms, sometimes the children. The members of Guns N' 240 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.679 Roses are saying goodbye to one of their longtime members. 241 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.039 The band announced that drummer Frank Fair had taken his 242 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.399 final bow in the Jungle and has left the group. 243 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.720 The band is assuring fans it was an amicable exit. 244 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.240 Fair had been with gn R for the past nineteen years. 245 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.559 The band made the announcement on their Instagram and said 246 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.840 they wish him success on his musical journey. Leading Your 247 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.559 Eyes Axl Rose has been the only consistent member since 248 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.799 the band began in nineteen eighty five.

The California Tax Foundation says lawmakers have introduced 288 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.440 thirty six proposals so far this year to raise taxes 289 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:12.120 and fees. They include taxes on gas, prepaid phones, emergency flares, 290 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.320 and public transportation tickets to sporting events. In La the 291 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.440 White Houses acknowledged the social security numbers of more than 292 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.840 four hundred former congressional staffers and others were made public 293 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.279 with the eighty thousand pages of JFK assassinate assassination files 294 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.480 that were just released. The White House says it is 295 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.840 doing what it can to mitigate the harm from that exposure. 296 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.519 The UCLA's men's basketball team moving on to the next 297 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.360 round of the NCAA Tournament. The seventh seed Bruins easily 298 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.799 beat Utah State seventy two forty seven. 299 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:44.399 Last night. 300 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:49.919 UCLA faces second seed Tennessee Saturday night in Kentucky. Sorry, kno, 301 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.360 All twenty two of his brackets are busted. I'm so sorry. 302 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.639 I feel bad for you. Here's something else that's busted. 303 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.480 Airport at six oh five is handle on the news. 304 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.360 The airport's closed because of a fire. We'll tell you 305 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.399 what's going on with that. Right now, let's say good 306 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.759 morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. 307 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.960 Dude, that weed is going to kill you. 308 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.120 It is one way or another, I think. But yeah, 309 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.600 I mean, people talk about it. It's safe mine, it's natural, 310 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.320 it comes out of the ground, it's earth right. Well, sure, okay, 311 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.200 there are a lot of things. But this new study 312 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.639 that is published this week in the Journal of the 313 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.159 American College of Cardiology points out something that maybe a 314 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.320 lot of people didn't think about. That cannabis use can 315 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.799 damage your heart. Daily use of cannabis, predominantly through smoking, 316 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.440 was associated with a twenty five percent increased likelihood of 317 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.639 heart attack. But it goes beyond that. Second study that 318 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.639 is newly published shows that the use of cannabis raises 319 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.919 your heart attack risk by six times. So I mean 320 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.320 it's remarkable, And this isn't just a couple of people 321 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.039 involved in this. Four point six million people in the US, 322 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.119 all of them fifty years were younger. Their medical records 323 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.039 were looked at. So I think the next step amy 324 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.160 is to is for rich researchers to get a group 325 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.200 of actual people in front of them, some smoke, others 326 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.359 who don't smoke or use cannabis, and take a look 327 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.319 at them. But four and a half million people had 328 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:21.799 their medical records looked at. 329 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.039 Okay, so and you said daily, So this is daily users, 330 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.400 not occasional users. 331 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:31.119 Well, occasionally use. Occasional use has its own risks. Less 332 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.839 frequent use associated with heart attacks too. Weekly users, so 333 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.119 not daily, but weekly users showed a three percent increased 334 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.680 likelihood of heart attack and a five percent increased likelihood 335 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.000 a stroke. So there are risks even with the occasional 336 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.759 use if you consider once a week occasionally. 337 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.440 Use, So the three and five percent doesn't alarm me 338 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.599 as much as the six times more likely. 339 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.960 Yeah, and these again are two separate studies. The one 340 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.759 with the six times a result is even is newer 341 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.200 than that one from last year that talked about that 342 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.279 smaller outcome. But it's interesting that in the very even 343 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:15.359 in the introduction of this article, this scholarly article, it says, well, 344 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.960 it has therapeutic benefits. So it does note that there 345 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.279 are things that marijuana does for you that are good 346 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.400 for you that apparently you know, helps with glaucoma, helps 347 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.599 with PTSD and other emotional issues. But that goes on 348 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.960 to say cannabis consumptions linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes, especially 349 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.200 myocardialin function, which is heart attack. 350 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.160 Okay, and does it say what happens? Because I thought 351 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.000 like marijuana should just relax you. So when it's stands 352 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.920 to reason that it relaxes everything. 353 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.680 Well, it also affects your heart rhythm. You probably knew 354 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.240 that too. Slows your heart down maybe, but it also 355 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.599 increases the demand for oxygen that your heart muscle has. 356 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.079 So the very thing that's making you relaxed and kind 357 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:06.279 of chill might be going into your heart and making 358 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.039 it need more oxygen certainly slows it down. 359 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.480 Okay, all right, that's just a little bit scary. 360 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.039 Like I said, the three and five percent, you go, 361 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:16.680 but six times more likely to have a heart attack. 362 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.160 That's right. 363 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.240 That's the research is what they want to do. It's 364 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.640 this is really aimed at physicians. The telling physicians that 365 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.400 when you are doing normal checkups on people, you need 366 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.680 to ask them about their their marijuna use or their 367 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.640 cannabis use, whether they're smoking it or drinking it or 368 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.480 vaping it or whatever they might be doing with it. 369 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.759 To ask your patients about their use because it could 370 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.400 be setting them up for increased risk of heart problems. 371 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.640 Okay, and that goes back to patients too. When you 372 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.160 go into your doctor. It's legal now, so just say, hey, dude, 373 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.839 you should know that this is what I'm doing. 374 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.759 Well even to watch that it isn't. You should be 375 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.160 able to trust your doctor.
