I mean, in addition to obviously working at KFI. 8 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.079 I gotta get you to work and I gotta get 9 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.920 you closer to the weekend. Those two things get you 10 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.039 to work and get you closer to the weekend. It 11 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.399 is Friday, and I don't know if there's a better 12 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.679 day of the week. Let me say good morning to 13 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.840 Amy King, the news queen. How are you today? 14 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.759 Good morning, I'm fabulous. Thank you. 15 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.280 I heard you in your most recent conversation remark about 16 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.799 the TV show Paradise. I cannot love that show enough. 17 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:04.719 Yep. 18 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.480 If if I was still on your show, we would 19 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.480 have done an Amy's on it on in your show. 20 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.239 Oh that shows one day and I watched that first 21 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.439 episode and I said. 22 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.120 Exactly exactly, and then at the end of the first 23 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.519 episode you went yes again. 24 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.920 It's a complete well. I don't ever want to give 25 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.599 it away for anyone. I always say, just watch the 26 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.200 first episode, and if you like anything about the first episode, 27 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.120 it will take you through to the end of the 28 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.319 first season. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good morning. I have to 29 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.640 say good morning to producer, and if only because we 30 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:43.319 had similar concerns and thoughts on this Friday. I gotta 31 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.439 be very honest. I can't lie to you listening in 32 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.319 your car right now, if you happen to be maybe 33 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.079 you're getting out of the shower, getting ready to go 34 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.920 to work. I can't lie to you. I appreciate you 35 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000 and I trust you, so I can share this with you. 36 00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.280 I have this recurring nightmare, and for what I'm told, 37 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.959 many people in radio have a similar one. I have 38 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.519 this nightmare where I either wake up and I'm in 39 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.840 a panic and I realize, oh my gosh, my shift 40 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.560 is getting ready to start and I'm in bed or 41 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.520 the phone is ringing, and in this case would be 42 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.479 producer as she's like, MO, where are you. We're getting 43 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.199 ready to go on air in fifteen minutes. It's a 44 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.919 recurring nightmare I have, and I've had it for at 45 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.360 least a decade or so. 46 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.400 Yeah, it's the worst. It's the absolute worst feeling. 47 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.919 With that in mind, that you might not wake up 48 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.159 and have that hard right. With that in mind, I 49 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.400 have this alarm which is meant to scare the but 50 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.039 Jesus out of me, and unfortunately it also scares the 51 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.039 Bejesus out of my wife. It's meant to wake me 52 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.719 up under any circumstances. I have an alarm on my 53 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.400 pixel watch that runs simultaneously which will vibrate and physically 54 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.919 shake me and my law. I don't believe in snooze alarms. 55 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.400 Whenever the alarm glows goes off, that beas it's time 56 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.439 to get up. It's time to go to work. There's 57 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:08.159 no negotiation after that. That's my alarm, and it gets 58 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.639 progressively louder the longer you let it sit there. So 59 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.680 it's not meant to slowly rouse you in a peaceful 60 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.520 way wake up. It's not trying to say, hey mo, 61 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.240 it's time to get up a gentle nun. No, it's 62 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.199 nothing about stuff. It's telling you get the half out 63 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.319 of bed, you gotta go to work. Third and is 64 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.400 waiting for you. So I'm up, I'm up. It's one 65 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.120 of those things that could startle do I'm up, I'm up. 66 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.560 I'm I'm away, I'm on away. I got up at 67 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.800 four o'clock today and got to tell the truth, I 68 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.479 did not get to sleep until after one. I remember 69 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.560 seeing my phone and it said one something. That's the 70 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.879 last time I remember seeing it. And the next thing 71 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.520 I know, you know, like you blink your eyes, and 72 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.240 then all of a sudden, the alarm is telling me 73 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.199 to get up, and it's four am. I get out 74 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.639 of bed, and I'm in the car by four twenty. 75 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.240 I'm here by four forty five. I'm walking in with 76 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.719 Will Colestreiver. Good morning, Will, and we're both commiserating about 77 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.560 how early it is and how dark it is. But 78 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.879 other than that, I'm great. Let's curry me get to 79 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.080 the weekend. Gono, could to see you, my man. I 80 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.240 heard that you lost all twenty three of your brackets 81 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:13.759 in one day. 82 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.839 I mean, everybody loses, it's just try not to lose 83 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.279 the most. 84 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.120 You wasted no time, he said, Well, I'm gonna lose anyway, 85 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.439 so might as well be now. 86 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.279 I will say my brother in law went sixteen for 87 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:24.120 sixteen yesterday. 88 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:24.279 Though. 89 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.040 That's a great start. That's a great start. Yeah, I 90 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.040 can never say I've ever done it. I've never gotten 91 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.439 out of the first round with more than maybe twelve. 92 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:33.319 That's pretty correct. 93 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.360 I'm eleven right now. Eleven for sixteen. 94 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.560 That's not bad. It just depends on the games that 95 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.240 you lose. Like if it's one of them, happened to 96 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.639 be one of your final four predictions. Well as they say, 97 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.879 that's your ass ya, that is true. 98 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:45.519 That is true. 99 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.839 So good morning, good morning, good morning. I think it's 100 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.959 about time that we get to it. Handle on the news, 101 00:04:52.439 --> 00:05:00.560 lead start. True to his word, US President Trump has 102 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.439 signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. 103 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.279 And I said yesterday it is fulfilling a campaign promise. 104 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.360 It's one of those things that he talked about it, 105 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.000 he promised it, and now he's delivering it. There are 106 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:20.040 some subtleties here, whereas the president can defund the Department 107 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.439 of Education, actually killing the whole agency has to be 108 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.639 an act of Congress. But you can recap the agency 109 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.600 through lack of funding, where most of its services will 110 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.680 no longer exist. And this is something I think people 111 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.439 need to understand. It's not something that the next president 112 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.800 can just turn around and undo. This is something completely transformational, 113 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.879 not necessarily transactional and President Trump, regardless of what you 114 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.160 may think about him, he has been consistent with what 115 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.920 he said on the campaign trail. He's wasting no time 116 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.079 to get done as he is is i'll say, just 117 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.839 a couple months in his presidency, and the White House 118 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.000 has acknowledged that closing agency outright would require an Act 119 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.279 of Congress. As I said, so this is just the 120 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.879 first part of it. Yes, it's going to be fought 121 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.360 in court. There are legal challenges already, but the Department 122 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.279 of Education, as we know it, is going away. 123 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.120 Fires and flying don't mix. 124 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.120 London's Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest hubs in Europe, 125 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.560 is closed today and will remain closed all day because 126 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.040 of a fire nearby at an electricity substation. So far, 127 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.079 they're saying it doesn't appear that there's foul play. Of 128 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.639 course they're still investigating, but the fire caused power outages 129 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.959 at the airport and in a statement, whilst fire crews 130 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.480 are responding to the incident, we do not have clarity 131 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.439 on when power may be reliably restored. 132 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.639 I love that they start their their sentence with whilst. 133 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.519 Are they are they on any schedule at this moment? 134 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.360 No schedule. They're expecting significant disruption over the coming days. 135 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.360 But it's like, so far, and this was from a 136 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.279 few hours ago, thirteen hundred and fifty flights just canceled 137 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.839 and they're showing scenes from inside Heathrow. It's like emergency 138 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.720 lights are on and they're saying, do not go to 139 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.240 the airport. And of course it's affecting flights in the US. 140 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.560 Two. On the rare occasions that I do get the 141 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.560 privilege to go to Europe, I often am lucky enough 142 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.879 to avoid Heathrow. I'm usually going through Gatwick and that's 143 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.680 a much more enjoyable experience. No disrespect to Heathrow, but 144 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.399 if you've never been, it's I would say I would 145 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.720 liken it to Chicago. O'Hare the amount of traffic, the 146 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.839 size of the airport, the things you got to do 147 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.279 if you're connecting this. I say all that to say, 148 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.920 this disruption will be significant and will impact thousands of 149 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.560 travelers for the next few days at the minimum. And 150 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.920 you know the DWP, well, they've been having some problems 151 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.879 with the fireheart hydrants, trying to fix them. They're saying 152 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.839 that they fixed the vast majority of them, which have 153 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.160 been flagged for repairs last year. And let me just say, 154 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.439 in addition to this, part of the reason why some 155 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.240 of these or many of these fireheard hydrants had issues 156 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.399 was people were vandalizing them and stealing some of the 157 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.040 parts off them for scrap metal in the way that 158 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.120 people were stealing catalytic converters. Believe it or not, Yes, 159 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.279 LA Fire Department discovered the damage to the hydrants during 160 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.960 inspections in the months prior to the January seventh Palisades fire. 161 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.399 Once a DWP's staff received the list of thirteen hundred 162 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:51.519 and fifty hydrants, the utility dispatched crews across the city. 163 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.360 As of earlier this week, the utility had addressed twelve 164 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.879 hundred and eighty nine hydrants, replaced one hundred and forty eight, 165 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.240 and perform minor repairs on eight hundred and five hydrants. 166 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.080 Six hydrants. And this is something I didn't know. We're 167 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.440 functioning but needed water to be turned on at a 168 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.960 nearby valve. And I also didn't know that there were 169 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.480 one hundred and forty three hydrants on this list which 170 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.399 were privately owned and fell outside DWP's perview. 171 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.440 How do you have a privately owned fire hydrant. 172 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.879 Hello, that was my question. I didn't know that I 173 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:27.919 was today years old. 174 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.000 Unlets say it's in an area that's like just outside 175 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.399 Los Angeles City, or it's in an unincorporated area and 176 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.799 they built a subdivision and so then they built their 177 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:37.600 own fire hydrant. 178 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.440 Maybe that would make sense. But still I've heard of 179 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:47.879 private fire departments. Yeah, but not private fire hydrants. You 180 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.080 learn something new every day. 181 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.679 Bring them back. 182 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.759 US safety regulators have recalled about all the cyber trucks. 183 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.200 There's forty six thousand of them than NTSB or actually 184 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:05.159 the NASA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says an 185 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.200 exterior panel that runs along the left and right side 186 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:12.559 of the windshield can detach while you're driving, and that 187 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.720 can create a road hazard for others and increase the 188 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:16.679 risk of a crash. 189 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:21.519 Tesla has a real precarious position that they're trying to navigate. 190 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.720 You know of Tesla in large part because of the 191 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.919 person Elon Musk, and Elon Musk helped promote the brand 192 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.120 through himself, Elon Musk, and now that Elon Musk is 193 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.200 part of DOGE and what he's doing with the federal 194 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.519 government is in many ways controversial. At least without getting 195 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.240 into the minutie. Then you have Tesla put in a 196 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.960 situation where if you don't support Elon Musk, then it 197 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.799 comes over to impacting Tesla its stock price. And I'm 198 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.519 not talking about the vandalism month. That's just illegal, that's 199 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.440 just crime. But I'm just talking about Tesla. The company 200 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.639 is going to have a hard time trying to navigate 201 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.600 this moment, if only because everyone knows Tesla because of 202 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:08.879 Elon Musk. DEI is still an issue in the military, 203 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.399 but for a different reason. And the military, if you 204 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.240 didn't know, was instructed to search keywords including first and 205 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:21.240 history while they were purging Pentagon websites. And you might 206 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:27.879 know the most the clearest example or controversial example, was 207 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.879 with Jackie Robinson his connection to the military and how 208 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:36.159 that was scrubbed from Pentagon websites. And military units were 209 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:42.919 instructed to simply use keyword searches such as racism, ethnicity, history, 210 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.759 and first when searching for articles and photos to remove. 211 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:52.840 And also the Department of Defense instituted an AI algorithm 212 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.600 which helped with the purge and was very wide in 213 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.759 its base, and so a lot of things were purge, 214 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:06.440 maybe not intentionally, but also controversially. There were other keywords 215 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.120 officials were instructed to search for, which included different type 216 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:19.519 off firsts, such as LGBTQ, historic, accessibility, opportunity, belonging, justice, privilege, respect, 217 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.120 and even values. I don't know how the Department of 218 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.240 Defense is going to navigate this going forward, but they're 219 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.919 going to have a lot of pushback from different groups 220 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:33.840 and also people who are knowledgeable about history. 221 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.840 Well, yeah, I mean they took down the code talk 222 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.399 the Navajo code talkers, which helped us win World War Two, 223 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.919 so unfortunately they put it back out. 224 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:48.039 But yeah, and some of these mistakes can be avoided, 225 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.000 some of these when you're using the proverbial chainsaw, going 226 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.120 back to Elon Musk and you saw the meme with him. 227 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.399 When you're using that chainsaw and not the scalpel, you're 228 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.440 going to have these unfortunate incidents. And I'm real big 229 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:06.519 on history, and there's certain parts of history which may 230 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:11.759 be uncomfortable, certain parts of history which may be unflattering, 231 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.320 but it's necessary to tell the whole story, the full story. 232 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.360 And I believe this country is the greatest country on 233 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.159 the face of the earth. It is because it's it's 234 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:25.000 been able to overcome all these obstacles, over all these 235 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.080 decades and centuries. You got to know America in this 236 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.559 full context. 237 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.440 Yeah, and I love that AI gets it wrong sometimes. 238 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.759 Oh it's story it wrong. 239 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.200 It restores my faith in humanity. But we've talked to 240 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.559 like rich Dedmiro about it. We're like, AI, I'll tell 241 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.919 you this, and I said, but does it get it right? 242 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.720 And He's like, oh, no, it makes mistakes all the time. 243 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.639 So it looks like that's what it happened. It went 244 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.360 through and mistakenly took out too much with its chainsaw. 245 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.759 As you said, Mariah Carey got all she wanted for Christmas. 246 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.679 A federal judge is ruled that she did not steal 247 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.120 her mega hit All I Want for Christmas Is You 248 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.759 from other song writers. She was sued in twenty twenty 249 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:06.200 three by songwriter who goes by the stage name Vince 250 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.399 Vance and also Troy Powers of tennessee twenty million dollar lawsuit. 251 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.320 They allege that Carrie's song from nineteen ninety four, which 252 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.279 of course we hear every year and as it comes 253 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.399 around faster and faster as time speeds up, that it 254 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.759 infringed on the copyright of their country song in nineteen 255 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.639 eighty nine with the same title. 256 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.279 I was working in the music industry when this song 257 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.679 came out in ninety four. I was probably working for 258 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.279 Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and getting ready to go to 259 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.039 Virgin Records. If you know anything about music popular music, 260 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.240 there are simple chord progressions that a lot of songs use. 261 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.759 There is a songwriting formula, and if you really know music, 262 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.159 most of the songs which are hits or written in 263 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.799 major keys not minor keys, he use the same time signature. 264 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.600 He used a lot of the same notes in melodic progressions. 265 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.799 That's a long way of saying a lot of the 266 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.559 music is going to sound alike, and you're gonna have 267 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.600 more and more of these lawsuits going forward because they're 268 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.759 not being real innovative in creating any of these songs. 269 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.480 If you live long enough, you will hear seven or 270 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.840 eight songs which sound pretty much the same and probably 271 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.039 have no connection to one another. In other words, you 272 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.519 may hear a song and the songwriter may have never 273 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.879 had any connection to that other song which sounds like it, 274 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:34.080 and it may not be an example of plagiarism. But 275 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.919 we're gonna have more examples of these, because think of 276 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.360 it this way, there are only so many ways that 277 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.960 you can play tic tac toe, only so many outcomes 278 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.320 that you can have. Music is very similar to that. 279 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.200 There's only so many melodies that you can use with 280 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.320 an eight note scale in a major key. You're gonna 281 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.240 have more examples of this. And it may not be intentional, 282 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.360 but because of the math, it's unavoidable. And this next 283 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.679 story i'll serve go back to it at seven am. 284 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:07.039 But Germany has updated US travel advice after three citizens 285 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.919 had been detained, and they updated as travel advisory for 286 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.639 the US to emphasize that a visa or waiver allowing 287 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.759 entry does not guarantee Germans to enter the US and 288 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.879 this because, as I said, several of its citizens were 289 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.600 detained at the border. Now. This is according to an 290 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.799 advisory on Germany's Foreign Office website at the country warned 291 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.159 that entry through the Electronics System for Travel Authorization es 292 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.600 TO system or a US visa is not guaranteed every 293 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:43.600 time that the US Border Control has final decision, and 294 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.840 also the office noted that a criminal conviction in the US, 295 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.480 false information about an individual's purpose of stay, or even 296 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.919 a slight overstay of the visa can lead to arrest, detention, 297 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.000 and deportation. And the new advisory comes as Germany is 298 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.639 investigating the case of three of its citizens being denied 299 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.519 entry and placed into detension. And when I talk about 300 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.599 this at seven o'clock, I'm going to talk about how 301 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.640 Casey Wasserman has assured that the IOC visa issues won't 302 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.720 be a problem for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. I'm 303 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.240 not so sure that Wasserman can make that guarantee. 304 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.039 Guess we'll find out soon enough. 305 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.720 Yes we will. 306 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.599 Okay, an accident waiting to happen. So before you cross 307 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.039 the river, know that sixty eight bridges across the US 308 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.160 should be assessed to see if they're at risk of 309 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.440 collapse if they're hit by a ship like the Key 310 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.799 Bridge in Baltimore. Transportation safety officials say they need to 311 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.519 undertake immediate vulnerability assessment. It's part of the National Transportation 312 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.799 Safety Boards ongoing investigation into the collapse of the Francis 313 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.160 Scott Keybridge. 314 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.720 Included on their list, the Golden. 315 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.559 Gate Bridge doesn't surprise me. I think the US has 316 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.240 done a poor job of maintaining its infrastructure, and I 317 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.200 say that generally, with no respect to any party or 318 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:13.519 administration or specific state across the board, our infrastructure has 319 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:18.400 been susceptible and vulnerable to not only terrorist attacks, but 320 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.119 just age and decrepit nature. There are going to be 321 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:28.880 more issues with bridges and tunnels and waterways, if only 322 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.359 because we have not paid attention to our infrastructure the 323 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:36.839 weight I think we should. And also here locally in California, 324 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.480 California has I should say, the Ninth Circuit has upheld 325 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:46.680 California's ban on large capacity ammunition magazines. California, according to 326 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.799 the Ninth Circuit, has the authority to ban large capacity 327 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:55.799 ammunition magazines. And also this reversed a previous decision that 328 00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.720 found the state law unconstitutional under its strict history minded 329 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.559 limits on gun control measures recently established by the Supreme Court. 330 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.240 Writing for the eleven judge panel, the US Ninth Circuit 331 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.920 Court of Appeals Circuit Judge Susan Graeber found that the 332 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.640 state's ban on magazines wholly more than ten rounds fell 333 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.240 in line with other historical weapons restrictions in that it 334 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.519 restricts an especially dangerous feature of semi automatic firearms, the 335 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.480 ability to use a large capacity magazine while allowing all 336 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:31.720 other uses of those firearms. YadA YadA, yadah blah blah blah. 337 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.480 And this is something that has always been a hot 338 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.319 button issue about where we should limit the use of 339 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.160 guns or magazines, and a frequent refrain that I hear 340 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.920 as well, this would not prevent this or that crime, 341 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:51.200 this or that death, or mass shooting. And I try 342 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.119 to remind people this or at least this is where 343 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.440 I come from, that gun laws are not about prevention, 344 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.079 but they do serve as a baseline for punishment and 345 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.240 maybe mitigation. Like if you were to think of I 346 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:08.359 don't know, speeding laws, It's not like any speeding law 347 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:13.440 is going to stop speeding. Hopefully, hopefully it may encourage 348 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.160 people to slow down and will mitigate the number of 349 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.240 speeding infractions and will be more mindful of it. But 350 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.559 if a person's going to speed, they're going to speed. 351 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.759 But it lets you know definitively the baseline as far 352 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.039 as what is acceptable, what is legal, and what is illegal. 353 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.200 And also something else I think people may not remember, 354 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:36.799 some gun laws are to help catch criminals and would 355 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:40.119 be criminals in a net, so they don't go on 356 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.000 and progress to larger crimes. You may have someone you 357 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.200 may see a story that Amy Keymate talk about. Well, 358 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:50.559 someone was also cited or arrested for unlicensed or unlawful 359 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.759 possession of a gun or a felon in possession of 360 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.200 a gun, and hopefully that will keep that person from 361 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.680 committing other crimes. Not always, but sometimes. 362 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.920 Oopsie. 363 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:05.279 Social Security numbers of more than four hundred former congressional 364 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:09.440 staffers and others were made public because they were part 365 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:14.359 of that eighty thousand document dump eighty thousand page document 366 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.720 dump files related to the assassination of President John F. 367 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.480 Kennedy. 368 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.079 The White House acknowledged the breach and says it's working 369 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.240 to mitigate the harm. The way they're going to do 370 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.240 that is they're going to scrub the files to find 371 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.640 any more Social Security numbers, and then the Social Security 372 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.319 Administration will give anyone affected new numbers. 373 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.799 Did anyone like look at the material, the data, the 374 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:43.079 documents prior to releasing them. 375 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.279 Here's here's how we understand it.

He'd been talking about it 379 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:58.759 for quite a while, but then when he made the decision, 380 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.680 he said, okay, let's just release them. And so the 381 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.400 National Archives is like, oh, holy cow, we've got to 382 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.240 try to scrub all of this before we put it up. 383 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.000 So I think it was because they didn't have the 384 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.000 time to really kind of go through everything with a 385 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.839 fine tooth comb. 386 00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:18.799 Okay, all right, who am I to say otherwise. 387 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.400 Because you know what Trump does something he wants done. 388 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:27.119 Now, Okay, I just know my social Security number fortunately 389 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.000 was not part of that document. 390 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:29.759 You know. 391 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.400 Oh no, no, no, I'm. 392 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.559 Sure because you weren't born then I was not born. 393 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:36.880 Then I was not born.
