43
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>know you do, I know you do. So are you

44
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to this? I mean, is this is this something?

45
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 4>I A?

46
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 3>Is it more for kids? Is it more for the youngsters?

47
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Which one any of the new ones, the Pandora I'm

48
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to.

49
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm excited, And maybe you're the same way, Amy,

50
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 1>But I I don't have obviously as much attachment to

51
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>California's edge in the way of change that I do

52
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>with Disneyland proper.

53
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 5>So I love California Adventure.

54
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>They've done a great job really making it a destination location.

55
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But the you know, to me, it's when they change

56
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>things at Disneyland, then I go oh.

57
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Because Disneyland is so classic and the stuff that was

58
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 4>here like again on opening day fifty five years ago

59
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 4>or seventy actually seventy years ago. I don't know where

60
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 4>I got fifty five, but because they opened in fifty five, Oh,

61
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 4>that's what it is. But I mean, like those are

62
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 4>still fun to me. I still enjoy Pirates at the Caribbean.

63
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 4>I still enjoy It's a small world. I still like

64
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 4>going on the Storybook Canal and you can't pay me

65
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 4>to go on the Teacups, but like, I love those

66
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 4>rides still attraction.

67
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Pirates came in.

68
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Pirates was the first big ride that we know as

69
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>modern rides, and that is hugely expensive to build all immersive.

70
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and when you think about rides like the

71
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Haunted Mansion. That was a big deal and very important

72
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to Walt Disney. He never saw right now, you never know.

73
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>The facade stood there for a long yeah years, yeah, years.

74
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 3>Because they were busy. Well, what happened was they were

75
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>looking at.

76
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>It, and then then the World's Fair came out where

77
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>they spent all their money in nineteen sixty four, and

78
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>then of course Disney.

79
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 5>World came out, started Disney.

80
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it doll got lost in the shuffle and

81
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the Avatar ride, I know, and I'm reading this what

82
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you travel aboard a boat through a bioluminescent lagoon and

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you encounter this massive whale like creature That's how they're

84
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>describing it, called a toolcun that comes up from the

85
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>ocean and then I think eats some of the riders.

86
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Cool, I'm not great. Yeah, doesn't that sound like fun?

87
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 5>And once the screaming stops.

88
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>No, Well, they already have a version of this ride

89
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>or an Avatar ride it their location in Florida.

90
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 5>I believe, don't they it?

91
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 3>You got me, You got me.

92
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 5>I've never been to to Disney World. Strangely enough, I have.

93
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of neat.

94
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love to go. I just it's just a

95
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>much bigger Disneyland. The castle is massive and it's just

96
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>spread out. It's not crammed the way Disneyland is relative

97
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>to other parks.

98
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>So that's what I love about Disneyland. I love that

99
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 4>it's crammed together and there's nooks and crannies and yeah,

100
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 4>they take it's much more intimate funto me and.

101
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Used every bit of space.

102
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like a sailing boat of theme parks.

103
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Everything is very well organized.

104
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, they're all having that.

105
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, they Florida parks have a

106
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>different setup because they went into it with that. But

107
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 1>like Universal Studios, here is landlocked. There's nothing they can do.

108
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 1>There's they're looking at having to grow that and Disneyland

109
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>here is similar. But out there in Florida they still

110
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they have.

111
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>But they're still land In Disneyland, I think, well, they

112
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>cannibalize parts of the land.

113
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, they're taking like parking lots and converting them and

114
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 4>that kind of stuff.

115
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, a little bit of Handle history And I'm

116
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>not a I'm not a modern day Handle guy. I've

117
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>told you I happen to be a Disney fan.

118
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I really do.

119
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>As much as I make fun of the cost of

120
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>going to Disneyland, but for me, I haven't gone in

121
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 2>a very very long time because the place is just

122
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>too crowded now. Early days at Disneyland was a different story. Disneyland,

123
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>as we know, opened up nineteen fifty five, and there

124
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 2>are still rides there from nineteen fifty five, one of

125
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>them being Utopia day one it opened. Now, the cars

126
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>are very different now, they look better. They drive much

127
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>to the market now.

128
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and they've got seven different iterations.

129
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>When we first drive started riding on the car.

130
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 2>They were gas powered and they still grew horrible emissions.

131
00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>They still do.

132
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 5>Really, I think they're switching them though, Amy right.

133
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 3>Now they are.

134
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 4>They're they're converting to electricity finally, which I've been saying

135
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 4>they should do, like Conda should have stepped in twenty

136
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 4>years ago.

137
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you a car Land. Uh it's

138
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 2>which having never been to, is that pretty?

139
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Neat?

140
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 4>Carsland is spectacular.

141
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Gorgeous and the Key Ride, I mean they have some

142
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>fun rides there, but the Key Ride, the race is

143
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>very fun, OKAYU.

144
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>The Disneyland Railroad opened up and it's kind of a

145
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>neat thing.

146
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Goes around the park.

147
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Used to have two trains, do you remember that, I do.

148
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And one of them, one of them had an issue

149
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>and almost fell off the top of them overpass.

150
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And one of them was a Pullman car that was

151
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>a private car that was a replica of the old

152
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Pullman car. Really modern, not really modern, comfortable, big couches,

153
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>et cetera that you couldn't go on. It was used

154
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>for Disney when he would guessed when you have important

155
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>guests come, they would do it. It's got a very

156
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>long trip obviously around the park. But he was a

157
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 2>nut for railroads. He had a model He had a

158
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>model railroad and his house and he had it built

159
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the small ones that you can sit on.

160
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind of neat.

161
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>The Jungle Cruise is original that is still around and

162
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>it's hugely successful. And I remember that as a kid.

163
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>And then the story I shared with you before is

164
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Park opens nineteen fifty five, about fifty seven, fifty six

165
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty seven, they were doing commercials for the television show

166
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Disney and there's a little girl who is scared to

167
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>death grabbing onto her brother's leg as she's on the

168
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Jungle Cruise, and the hippos come up out of the water,

169
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and that was Marjorie. That was kind of really Yeah,

170
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 2>that was Marjorie's funny.

171
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they's been looking for that commercial. We've been

172
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.200
<v Speaker 3>looking for it for years.

173
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 5>You know, you used to be able to fish that

174
00:08:59.279 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know.

175
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they originally you could fish and it didn't last

176
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>very long, but it was a huge thing with Walt Disney.

177
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 1>He really wanted you to be able to fish. The

178
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>problem was, and you could take them somewhere and they

179
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>would cook them for you, or they'd wrap them and

180
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>then you could take them at the end of the

181
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>day something like that. But people were throwing them. They

182
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to walk around with them all day or whatever,

183
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 1>and they'd throw them. They had such a problem that

184
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it lasted longer than a couple of weeks.

185
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>But you used to be able to fish that I

186
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. That's kind of crazy. King Arthur Carousel that's

187
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 2>still around, still around. Do you remember Phil Henry when

188
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 2>he did the remote. We used to have a guy,

189
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Phil Henry, who's completely nuts, by the way, and he

190
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>did a quote remote at Disneyland. This is where Disney

191
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>canceled everything it had to do with KFI And I

192
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know Amy, if you've heard that story. Phil Henry

193
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>does voices, and he did a remote quote that's in

194
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>quotes because of course he didn't go to a character

195
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 2>name RC. Yeah, and he did a he did a story.

196
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>He's at Disneyland. He's doing a story about the carousel

197
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>people that are on it, and one of the kids

198
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 2>got very sick and started vomiting. And as the carousel

199
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 2>goes around and round, this explosive vomit is hitting people

200
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>who are.

201
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Disney was so upset with that.

202
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Actually I was the one who met with them very

203
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>close after in my position there, and they were very

204
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of under the circumstance.

205
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 5>Well that was pretty rough.

206
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well I think the next one on Big Thunder

207
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Mountain is where Disney canceled everything because what Phil did

208
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>you remember that Phil had he was talking to an expert,

209
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>He was talking to an engineer and talking about what

210
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>had just happened to one of the riders that as

211
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it goes past the mountain pass and you know those

212
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 2>fake mountains, if you look a certain way and you're

213
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 2>a certain height, and it's very very rare.

214
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 3>But it will take your head off.

215
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

216
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the head rolled down the little hill and

217
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 2>ended up in the waiting line where people yes, oh

218
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>those were.

219
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Fun mad tea party yep, still there.

220
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>The Main Street Cinema has gone through so many reation,

221
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 2>reiterations of originally it was old Disney cartoons.

222
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah it was Steamboat.

223
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, they showed that. The Martin Mark Twain Riverboat

224
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>is one of the original rides. Peter Pan is still

225
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a hugely popular Yeah, it's really good. And the Storybook

226
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Land canal boats Storybook Land through that.

227
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 3>Was cute with all the little miniature villages.

228
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Go in the mouth of God. What was the name

229
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 5>of the whale?

230
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Fred? No? Oh yeah, Fred?

231
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 5>The will Yeah, no, I can't remember. Monstro Yeah yeah.

232
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I think it was Monstro. Yeah. All right, guys, we

233
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>are done.

234
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.600
<v Speaker 5>I want to go to Disneyland.

235
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I think I'll go Friday.

236
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 5>You stink, of.

237
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Course you will, all right. Uh.

238
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 2>The lawsuits against Trump administration, as you know, have been

239
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>hot and heavy, and there was a lawsuit against the

240
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration because the federal government had cut funding to

241
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the NIH National Institute of Health for research grants, and

242
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 2>this was related to minorities and LGBTQ people research grants,

243
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>and the President said no, because that's woke.

244
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 3>That's the EI, and it had nothing to do with that.

245
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>It was the study of minorities, the study of LGPTQ people. Now,

246
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the NIH has also been cut in terms of sheer

247
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 2>medical research because of DEI and because medical researches are

248
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>less important to the administration is than defense, for example,

249
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:18.519
<v Speaker 2>and immigration reform. So the judge so upset that he

250
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>ripped into the administration. And this had to do with

251
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>two lawsuits that were filed to rescind funding for research

252
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>related to minorities.

253
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 3>And the judge declared those cuts to be.

254
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Illegal and void and order the NIH to restore the funds.

255
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 3>And of course appeal is going to happen. But it's

256
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 3>what he wrote.

257
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>He said that this lawsuit represented racial discrimination and discrimination

258
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>against America's LGBTQ community. On its face, that's what this is.

259
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I would be blind not to call it out. My

260
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>duty is to call it out, which is pretty This

261
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>preaty unusual for a federal judge. Now, if you remember

262
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump swept into office, I'm part of this promise to

263
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>withdraw government support for programs that are diversity, equity and

264
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:18.919
<v Speaker 2>inclusion those in IT initiatives, as well as any law

265
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>that supports gender ideologically extremism. Here's the problem with what

266
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the judges said, What exactly is a diversity program? Explain

267
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 2>to me what diversity is relation to funding. Well, clearly,

268
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 2>the study of minorities in this country, I guess, is

269
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.799
<v Speaker 2>obviously part of the DEI and wokeism here, and therefore

270
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>we don't want it, I guess, even recognizing that there

271
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 2>is an LGBTQ society, part of community. And this was

272
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 2>the first, it's not the first Reagan important judge. There

273
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>is a judge in Washington who blocked the administration efforts

274
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to relocate transgender women into men's prisons. Can you imagine

275
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 2>that you have a woman who used to be a

276
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>man is now in a men's prison, and that's a woman,

277
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean with women nether parts? What it's your another regions? Yep, okay, okay,

278
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's just kind of hard to believe. And

279
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the judges across the board, judges routinely and repeatedly found

280
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>the administration's it's a race to terminate contracts, dismantled agencies

281
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>to port immigrants is all illegal. It's illegal as far

282
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>as these judges are concerned. Now, the Justice Department. Justice

283
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Department Sends says, these research grant cuts and other programs

284
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 2>and agencies are simply a reflection of the new administration's

285
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 2>policy priorities. That Trump's executive orders is un reviewable by

286
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>the courts, and the president should have broad latitude. And

287
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of course, this is the part that I love, because

288
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>we get a lot of this is that taking away

289
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the study of insert name here increases our ability to

290
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 2>understand right, like big Pharma, Wait a minute, how is

291
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 2>taking away well, taking away money for research medical research

292
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>grant helps us understand the research much better if you

293
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 2>take away the money.

294
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 3>What huh? Where did that go?

295
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>But that's what's happening, all right, Okay, let me finish

296
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 2>it up with the story about laa school board has

297
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.720
<v Speaker 2>just to prove the sale of up to five hundred

298
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 2>million dollars in bonds. Okay, I mean usually my bonds

299
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 2>when it build classrooms or maintenance or putting up new schools.

300
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, that's what they issue bonds for. This one

301
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>is simply to settle lawsuits.

302
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

303
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>It's all about suddenly, lawsuits. Back in twenty nineteen, Assembly

304
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>built two eighteen passed, and what it did is open

305
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>up a three year window which ended at twenty twenty two,

306
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>allowing adults to file lawsuits over childhood sexual abuse going

307
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.839
<v Speaker 2>back to the nineteen forties.

308
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 3>And it was a three year window.

309
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And guess how many suits have been filed, how many claims.

310
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Thousands have been filed and claims made. And it's going

311
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.839
<v Speaker 2>to cost so much money that the school board has

312
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>issuing a five hundred million dollars bond to cover we're

313
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 2>talking about covering these lawsuits. And the bond is going

314
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>to be paid over fifteen years with interest, and that

315
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 2>comes out of the general fund.

316
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 3>So as tough as it is.

317
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.240
<v Speaker 2>In terms of money for schools, for any educational program,

318
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>guess what it's going to be even tougher. And it's

319
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 2>a shame that so many settlements have been paid. Now

320
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 2>not the shame they've been paid, that so many settlements

321
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.759
<v Speaker 2>or so many complaints have been made, so many claims

322
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 2>have been made. The La County Board of Supervisors in

323
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 2>April approved what is thought to be the largest sex

324
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 2>of you settlement in US history, for billion dollars to

325
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>victims abused as kids in the country county run juvenile

326
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>facilities and foster homes, and the Boy Scouts of America

327
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 2>huge settlement in the billions or hundreds of millions, the

328
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Catholic Church in the billions. And now we have la

329
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Board of Education that is going to pay so much

330
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>money out for these kinds of cases. They have to

331
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>go out and borrow five hundred million or sell bonds

332
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to the tune of five hundred million dollars.

333
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 3>It is just crazy.

334
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 2>And we're coming up to the concept that institutions that

335
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>we revered school the Church. Boy Scouts. Colonel Haig came

336
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.680
<v Speaker 2>in this morning with an interview. He's an astronaut and

337
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:37.880
<v Speaker 2>gave us some patches and whoa the patches that he

338
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 2>wears on his uniform. And I'm saying, hey, these look

339
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 2>like my Marrit badges that I had that I received

340
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>when I was in Boy Scouts. And I said, by

341
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm the only Scout that I've ever met

342
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that was not abused by a Scout master. And he said, wow,

343
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>really well, he really didn't say that.

344
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 3>But.

345
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 5>They are many, not We're not abused.

346
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Not many, not many.

347
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.839
<v Speaker 2>There are a few that were not abused. A handful

348
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.200
<v Speaker 2>that we're not abused. All right, we're done, guys, Gary
