Is it called Black Swan? 34 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:57.239 I don't know. 35 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.719 Oh, she's the ballerina. 36 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.040 Yeah, and who is Gosh, I can't even remember her name. 37 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.200 I'm looking at her face in my brain right now. 38 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:06.359 The girl from Star Wars. 39 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.280 Yeah, from Star Wars.

It's hard to 44 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.120 watch him at night because they're they're infrared cameras busted. 45 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.439 But they're so cute and it's so cool to see 46 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.159 him growing and getting bigger and getting their little personalities. 47 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.199 Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. 48 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.439 China has responded to President Trump increasing tariffs to one 49 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.439 hundred and twenty five percent by upping its tariff rates 50 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.680 on US imports from eighty four to one hundred twenty 51 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.719 five percent. The Chinese Commerce Ministry says China is ready 52 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.879 to fight to the end and the tariffs war against 53 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.199 the US. A hearing is being held today in the 54 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.319 case of Lyle and Eric Menendez, who have been asked 55 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.280 or have asked to be re sentenced for the murder 56 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.080 of their parents. They're serving life sentences. Five deputies and 57 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.479 a dispatcher have been honored for saving a drowning child 58 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:02.199 in Cerritos. 59 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.000 I love this story. 60 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.759 A ceremony was held for the guys yesterday at Cerrito 61 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.919 City Hall. Deputies pulled the little boy out of the 62 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.800 lake at Don Canambi Park on the night of March 63 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.159 twenty ninth. He wasn't breathing, so they did CPR and 64 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.960 revived him. He's made a full recovery. There's a growing 65 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.280 trend in the US. It's called prepared citizens. Who are they? 66 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.479 What are they doing? ABC's Crime and Terror analyst Will 67 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.319 arm us with the information. It's a DIY weekend with 68 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.199 the house Whisper and we'll be talking to the host 69 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.680 of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp. Love a good DIY 70 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.159 and if you're going to head to the theater or 71 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.280 hunker down on the couch, there are a lot of 72 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.599 tales to tell. ABC's Will Gans is gonna tell us 73 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.520 all about him. Let's get started with some of the 74 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.599 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 75 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.840 La County DA Nathan Hakman has requested a judge to 76 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.840 withdraw his office's motion to re sentence the Menendez brothers. 77 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.319 The request was made by Hawkman's predecessor, George Gascon. Hawkman 78 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.360 will present his arguments to drop the motion to a 79 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.759 judge this morning. He's also come out against a new 80 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.919 trial for the brothers, who were convicted of murdering their 81 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.120 parents in Beverly Hills in nineteen eighty nine. Family members 82 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.439 of Eric and Lahmanendez have been pushing for their release. 83 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.039 Hackman says the brothers haven't changed and they haven't taken 84 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.480 full responsibility for their crime. State prole boards will conduct 85 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.920 hearings to determine whether Governor Newsom should grant the brothers 86 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.160 clemency in June. Michael Krozer KFI News. 87 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.279 Some local VIPs have teamed up to rebuild the Pacific 88 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.759 Palisades Recreation Center, even. 89 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.600 Though their political rivals, LA Mayor Karen Bass and developer 90 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.519 Rick Caruso say they plan to help rebuild the center 91 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.519 damaged in January's wildfire. Lakers head coach JJ Reddicks as 92 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.079 his new organization, LA Strong Sports, will help lead the work. 93 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.920 We have already engaged with local groups and people who 94 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.000 were instrumental in making the rec center so special in 95 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.680 the first place. 96 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.199 LA Strong Sports has plans to rejuvenate parks across the city, 97 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.399 but will start with the one in the Palisades, which 98 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.959 is where Reddick lives with his family. 99 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.079 Michael Monks KFI News. 100 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.000 California has been struggling to find enough teachers and aids 101 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.199 for its growing transitional kindergarten programs. A lot of qualified 102 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:13.120 early childhood educators are discouraged by the state's strict credentialing requirements, 103 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.360 which include a degree, coursework assessments, and up to six 104 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.319 hundred hours of unpaid training. The overall teacher shortage makes 105 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.879 it even harder for districts to hire and retain staff, 106 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.720 with nearly twelve thousand teachers and over sixteen thousand aids 107 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.120 still needed with. 108 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:29.439 Easter just over a week away. 109 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.160 Animal rescue groups in LA are asking people not to 110 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.399 buy rabbits and baby chicks as Easter gifts for kids. 111 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.600 They say buying or adopting a live animal on a 112 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.480 whim often leads to abandonment when the novelty wears off 113 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.360 and families realize they can't properly take care of those pets. 114 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.199 Instead of a live animal, rescue groups recommend buying a 115 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.240 stuffed toy bunny or chocolate candy rabbit for kids Easter baskets. 116 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.360 I'm all for the chocolate candy rabbit for sure. Let's 117 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.079 say good morning now to best selling finances writer Jared Dylan. 118 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.319 Good morning, Jared, good morning. 119 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:04.759 How are you. 120 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.120 We're doing great. 121 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.000 We wanted to talk to you because you are not 122 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.319 only a financial writer, you are also an active investor. 123 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.879 You spent part of your career on Wall Street, so 124 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.040 we needed to talk to somebody in the know about 125 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.879 what the heck is going on. The wild ride continues 126 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.639 on Wall Street, probably going to continue today. Do we 127 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.279 have any idea what's in store for this today's trading session? 128 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.160 You know, looking at my screen right now, stocks are 129 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.319 up a little bit, bonds are down a little bit. 130 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:37.639 The dollar is down big. 131 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:38.199 You know. 132 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.480 One of the stories that hasn't really been told about 133 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.160 this crisis is that it's not just a stock market 134 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.560 that that's a mess. The bond market is a complete disaster. 135 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.519 The dollar has lost about three or four percent of 136 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.839 its value just in the last two days. The bond 137 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.480 market in particular. You know, usually when stocks are crashing, 138 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.399 bonds go up and interest rates come down. Bonds have 139 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.720 been getting killed. There's a lot of speculation, and I 140 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.160 believe this that China is actually selling some of their 141 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.839 eight hundred billion worth of treasury bonds as retaliation for 142 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.079 the tariffs. And like I said, I one hundred percent 143 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.000 believe this is true because the price action makes no sense. 144 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.680 Is there a way to your saying that there's some 145 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.560 speculation and you think that there's probably right, But is 146 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.639 there a way to tell if China's. 147 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.480 Doing that no, there really there really isn't a way 148 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.360 to tell, you know. You can you can just kind 149 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.639 of see how it's trading on the screen, and you 150 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.240 can watch the price action, but there's no like audit 151 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.920 trail that tells you where the cell orders are coming from. 152 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.920 Okay, and are all these ups and downs that we're seeing? 153 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:46.759 Did we end up down yesterday? 154 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.639 Or I know that stock futures are up a little 155 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.680 bit today, like you just mentioned, But did we end 156 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:52.759 up down yesterday? 157 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.240 We were down? We were down about three percent yesterday. 158 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.720 It was yesterday was actually a pretty ugly day. Today's 159 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.079 looking be a little bit better, you know. I actually 160 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.079 I tend to be a little bit negative and pessimistic 161 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.839 all the time. But in spite of that, I do 162 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.680 believe that this crisis is going to be temporary. I 163 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.439 think there is going to be an off ramp uh 164 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.800 to the tariffs. I think somebody, whether it's Trump or Bessent, 165 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.600 is going to make a comment, and I think stocks 166 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.480 will recover most of the losses sometime in the next 167 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.199 couple of weeks. 168 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.720 Well, certainly hope so. 169 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.919 And China responded again by saying, Okay, well, we're going 170 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.000 to increase our eighty four percent tariffs to one five 171 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.799 percent to match the US ones. So are are all 172 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.600 of these swings on Wall Street? Is everything really tied 173 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.600 to the tariffs? I mean it appears to be, but 174 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.200 are there other factors in play? 175 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.120 No, it's it's uh, it's it's really just the tariffs. 176 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.759 I mean, first of all, you know China. You know, 177 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.799 China is playing poker, and China is a good poker player. 178 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.480 But the United States has the upper hand here. We 179 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.559 import much much more goods from China than they import 180 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.039 from US. They're tariffs on the US. They already had tariffs. 181 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.519 Their tariffs are pretty much meaningless. What we're trying to 182 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:20.480 do is drive China into an economic depression so that 183 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.840 it weakens their ability to spend on their military. There's 184 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:29.279 geopolitical objective here, and Trump has not communicated that. I 185 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.960 think if he got in front of a podium and 186 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.360 he said, look like, we're going to have to endure 187 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.799 some volatility, We're going to have to pay higher prices 188 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.120 for goods. But there's there's a purpose behind this, and 189 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.320 I think people could get behind it. But he has 190 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:43.639 not communicated the vision. 191 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.559 Okay, but I hadn't I hadn't heard that one yet, 192 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.320 so really it's that's the goal of this. 193 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.799 I thought it was still like even the playing field. 194 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.360 So it's many things, it's even the playing field. And 195 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.720 and the government does want to raise revenue off of 196 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.639 the tariffs. They want to raise about six hundred billion 197 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.279 dollars a year, which by the way, is about the 198 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.159 exact amount which they're cutting taxes, So it's really just 199 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.639 collecting taxes in a different sort of way. So that 200 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.080 is part of the goal. But no, really, the strategic 201 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.720 goal here is to put China out of business, much 202 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.559 like what Reagan did with the Soviets back in the eighties. 203 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:30.799 Ah, that's interesting, Okay, So as we navigate this wild 204 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.080 ride on Wall Street, Jared, what kind of things should 205 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.000 people be thinking about as they look at their investments 206 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.080 and what should they be doing, if. 207 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:45.200 Anything, Probably the best thing to do pretty much ninety 208 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.360 nine percent of the time is to do nothing. And 209 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.120 there is a time to panic, but that time has passed. 210 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.159 The first rule about panicking is if you're going to panic, 211 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.279 you have to panic before everybody else does. So now 212 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.519 it's too late. It is too late to panic. I 213 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.000 would not sell your stocks down here okay, so. 214 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.799 All right, and as an investor, are you buying now? 215 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.559 I mean I'm doing I'm doing a lot of things. 216 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.159 I do have. I do have some exposure to the 217 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.080 stock market. It's kind of complicated. I've been like selling 218 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.000 put options on the index, and you know, I am 219 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.480 betting that stocks are going up. 220 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.480 So yes, okay, all right, Well there you have it, 221 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:39.399 all right. Jared Dillon, best selling financial writer Wall Street alumni, 222 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.960 I guess you would call him and also active investor. 223 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.080 Thank you so much for your time and insight. I 224 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.279 learned something new today. 225 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:51.240 Cool when that happens. Thank you, Jared. My trying to 226 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.600 kill their economy. 227 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.039 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 228 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.440 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Speaking 229 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.440 of tariffs, Joina said it will allow fewer US films 230 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:03.559 to be imported. 231 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.960 In response to tariffs. 232 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.639 The Chinese Film Administration has announced it will moderately reduce 233 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.879 the number of American films imported. Thirty four foreign films 234 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.000 are permitted to be released in China each year. The 235 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.759 Chinese Film Administration said tariff's imposed by President Trump will 236 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.759 inevitably further reduce the domestic audience's favorability towards American films. 237 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.919 The Marvel film Thunderbolts had reportedly just been approved to 238 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.440 be released on April thirtieth, but it's not clear whether 239 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.519 or not it will go forward. Mark Ronner KFI News. 240 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.000 Financial analysts are watching what happens on Wall Street with 241 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.440 China stepping up. It's part of the trade war with 242 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.399 the US. The Chinese course of race tariffs on American 243 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.919 goods to one hundred and twenty five percent. Tucker Perkins, 244 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.039 President and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council, 245 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.879 says there are serious concerns when it comes to the 246 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.720 energy market. 247 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.799 The real issue for the energy community is what happens 248 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:57.919 to the economies. Do the economies reset and maybe we 249 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.639 go into a worldwide recession. 250 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.240 China's move follows the Trump administration bumping up traffs on 251 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.120 Chinese products to one hundred and forty five percent. Secretary 252 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.559 of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Junior, says 253 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.559 he has initiated a research effort to uncover the cause 254 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.240 of what he calls the autism epidemic by this fall. 255 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:21.120 But Stanford Pediatrician pediatrician doctor Alec Patel says he thinks 256 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.440 that's not really doable. 257 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.240 To come together and say that we're just seeing to 258 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.519 get a bunch of scientists together and get an answer 259 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.919 byt September, that seems a little far fetched. 260 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.039 In the past, Kennedy has talked about a connection between 261 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:38.840 vaccines and autism, despite several studies refuting that, the Senate 262 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.600 Commerce Committees hearing yesterday on changing the twice a year 263 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.840 clock switch didn't make any decisions. Those for ditching the 264 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.600 time change say it's outdated, but President of the Insurance 265 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.480 Institute for Highway Safety David Harkey says switching the clocks 266 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.120 can actually make driving safer. 267 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.759 Changing the clocks twice a year is relevant to road 268 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.240 safety first and foremost because it affects the amount of 269 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.879 ambient light during peak times for travel. 270 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.200 In twenty twenty two, the Senate passed a measure that 271 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.600 would lock clocks to daylight saving time, but the House 272 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.360 never took it up. Okay, I told you in my rings, 273 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.399 driving me crazy. I just got another alert. Now what 274 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.039 anybody here a big boom? 275 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.240 Really you can have to adjust that. 276 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.320 There's a way, I don't know. 277 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.440 Hey, the Dodgers take on the Rockies tonight at Dodgers Stadium. Nope, 278 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.840 that is the wrong one. That's for Monday the fourteenth. 279 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.679 Let me see if I can find today's promo. Hold, please, 280 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.240 Dodgers promos. 281 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.759 Friday. 282 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.840 Oh it's Freddy Freeman Bobblehead night.

The Supreme Court says the Trump administration 290 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.720 must facilitate the release of a man from Maryland swept 291 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:09.480 up in an ice rate and accidentally sent to a 292 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.039 present prison in El Salvador. In the ruling yesterday, the 293 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.360 High Court didn't say that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has to 294 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.759 immediately be returned, but that the administration must work and 295 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.240 show what they're doing to get him back to the US. 296 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.759 The California Assembly has voted down proposed budget amendments to 297 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.159 terminate medical funding for illegal immigrants in California's high speed 298 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.159 rail project. The healthcare program will cost a state nine 299 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.759 and a half billion dollars this year. The high speed 300 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.759 rail projects costs a balloon from an initial eight billion 301 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.799 dollars in two thousand and eight to over one hundred 302 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.799 and thirty billion. GLP one drugs are pushing weight Watchers 303 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.679 into bankruptcy. The weight Loss Company is working with lenders 304 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:57.080 and is expected to file bankruptcy in the next few months. 305 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.559 Let's say good morning now to ABC's crime and Terror 306 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.840 analyst Brad Garrett. Brad, there's a growing trend in the 307 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.799 US called prepared citizens. 308 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.240 What are they? 309 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:10.639 So? 310 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.919 If you take amy the everyday gun owner, folks that 311 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.519 aren't part of the militia, left right type group, just 312 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:25.240 everyday folks, pilots, nurses, you name it, who like to 313 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.320 shoot weapons. Some of them want to take a step 314 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.759 further and learn how to shoot from a to combat positions. 315 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.120 In others you'd need somebody obviously to teach you to 316 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.679 do that. Adding things like learning how to fly drones 317 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.240 for reconnaissance, doing things like homesteady. You know, the list 318 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.320 goes on and on, but it's basically people. I think 319 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.519 if you look amy across the country, there's a lot 320 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.559 of masurety for people in their own minds and in 321 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:05.079 reality too, that things aren't like they used to be, 322 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.559 and I think they feel vulnerable and as a result, 323 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.039 they feel like they need to better protect themselves and 324 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:16.519 their loved ones. So these things are cropping up across 325 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.559 a number of states. It tends to be private companies. 326 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.920 Former military tend to run them to teach people these 327 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:28.599 skill sets, and I think it's another example of that. 328 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.960 You know, people believe that the government can't protect them 329 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.160 like they believe the government could in the past. And 330 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.920 it's very complex. I'm sure there are other reasons why 331 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.839 people are doing this. 332 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.920 Well, you know, you hear the rumblings and the rhetoric 333 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.880 and stuff, and people are like, I think we're getting 334 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.440 ready for a civil war, So some people are taking 335 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.000 that to heart. 336 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.680 I think that is some of it, that it's civil 337 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.720 UNRESK gets to a point where it's you against them. 338 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:02.680 Those that are trained, pre pare aired, you know, have 339 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.359 probably a higher survival rate. So you know, it turns 340 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.839 this can turn into sort of a really dark statement. 341 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.480 But I do think that there is a there's a 342 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.519 mood of that in the country at this point. 343 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:21.039 Okay, And is this Brad people who already are like 344 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.920 gun owners not going to think or are more people saying, hey, 345 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.920 I need to do that and then beyond that, need 346 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.559 to get trained. 347 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.920 I think it tends to be gun owners. I mean, 348 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.400 think about it this way, Amy that in any given month, 349 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.759 they're about a million and a half guns sold in 350 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.640 this country each month. Some months are higher, some of 351 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:47.480 the lower. It went up quite a bit higher during 352 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.880 the pandemic. But the point being, that's a lot of weapons, 353 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.720 and I think it tends to be people that either 354 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:58.839 have recently purchased or just have firearms and they're only 355 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.960 sort of routine outlet was to go to a range. Obviously, 356 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.880 this is a whole different dimension. And obviously it's a 357 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.160 it's a big investment of time to learn all these 358 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.200 other skill sets. I mean, combat shooting. I've done a 359 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.200 lot of that, and it's, you know, a certain skill 360 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.079 set you have to practice.
