True, and she actually admitted that any 11 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.679 woman wearing a baseball cap at three o'clock in the morning, 12 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.320 it's a hair issue. Tony, who also doesn't have a 13 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:38.399 hair issue because he has. 14 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.079 No hair while so true, I used to have really 15 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:42.320 nice long hair. It was awesome. 16 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.320 Yeah, I used to to. It was just I'm thinking 17 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.359 about it. There's a great story about me and a rug, 18 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.840 but not gonna happen any case. Tony is in for 19 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.280 CONO today, and I understand Cono maybe back tomorrow. 20 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.039 Right, That's what I'm hearing. 21 00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.200 Okay, all right, Michelle, And now leaving the last three, uh, 22 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.200 that is Amy, Neil and Will. And the reason I'm 23 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.319 leaving the last three is because as I'm looking at 24 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.959 the monitor and myself. We're all sucking up on our coffee. 25 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.000 There was any sucking up on some drink? You, Neil 26 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:21.319 sucking up on your little espresso cup out of the skull, Yes, 27 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.079 will Cole Schreiber sucking up and then eating some incredibly 28 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.280 unidentifiable food that he doesn't even know what the hell 29 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:29.599 it is. 30 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.159 Well, what is that you're munching on? By that? It's 31 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.040 a rice Krispy treat from Michelle's drawer. 32 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.840 I keep on forgetting. She keeps a whole drawer full 33 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:42.560 of this stuff. 34 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.519 Uh, it's an Armageddon drawer. 35 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.120 Yeah, it's a free snack drawer. 36 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.920 So, by the way, who pays for those snacks? 37 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.640 This is the result? Well, people donate, you know, a 38 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.879 couple of bucks here and there. But this is the 39 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.680 result of me going out to Yamaba every Sunday and 40 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.680 getting my free two hundred dollars gift part. 41 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.959 Oh that's what. That's very sweet. Have I ever put 42 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.920 into the pot for food like that? 43 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:08.719 I don't think so. 44 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.080 Yeah, absolutely correct, I have never done that. Yes, that 45 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.400 is true. Do you know that up on the fifth floor, 46 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.680 Because we're all on the fourth floor, we're the poor 47 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.400 step sisters of iHeartRadio up on the fifth floor where 48 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.280 all the fms are and all the salespeople and all 49 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:26.599 the management people are up there. 50 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.319 We're just sort of by ourselves down here. 51 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:37.400 They have free snacks, they have free drinks. 52 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.439 For everybody up there. 53 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.159 What do we have, Well, when Michelle can steal enough stuff, 54 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.520 we have a drawer full. And then if you want 55 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.680 a snack or something, you go down the hall and 56 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.159 we have that little mini seven to eleven, you know, 57 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.039 the honor thing what they. 58 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:52.879 Have a video. 59 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.280 It's not that hard to fake it out. I do 60 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.159 that all the time, as I pretend that I'm scanning 61 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.319 and I just leave and just grab that stuff. And 62 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.439 so far, so good because someone is not watching particularly carefully. 63 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.800 It's not a Las Vegas kind of security where someone's 64 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.479 watching in a security. 65 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.120 Room cameras in there. Yeah. 66 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.280 I know it's crazy, isn't it. But it's not that hard. 67 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.400 Yeah, I've been stealing stuff from there for years. 68 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.360 Okay, that's basically a hello to Amy Heloda will aload 69 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.560 of Neil Anna, Hello, and hello to me. 70 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.800 And you're gone next week, Amy. 71 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.039 Yes for how long? 72 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.840 Uh, well, be gone for eight or nine days or 73 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.439 something like that. 74 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.199 But just just for a week here, Oh it's a staycation. 75 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.919 No, I just won't be in the studio at KFI 76 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.199 for a week, but I'll be gone for almost two. 77 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.879 Well okay, well okay. Another way of. 78 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.280 Managing, where do you plan on going? 79 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:55.960 Can I ask? 80 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:56.240 Or? 81 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.599 Is we're going to Paris? 82 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.319 Oh, my goodness, I've ever been. Oh my, it's very French. French. 83 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.400 You gotta get a and Bill you'll probably agree. You 84 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:10.439 gotta get up. 85 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:13.840 A couple of things. 86 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.599 You have to sit down with me and I have 87 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.279 to have a conversation. For example, don't go up the 88 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.000 Eiffull Tower. 89 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.120 No, I have no plans to go. 90 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.120 Waste of time because one of the things people don't realize. 91 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.839 Part of the French landscape is the Eiffel Tower, of course, 92 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.879 and you can't see the Eiffel Tower if you're at 93 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.319 the Eiffel Tower. People don't sort of realize that. Actually 94 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.199 the best place to go is Galeries Lafayette, which is 95 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.000 one of the big department stores, and the one on Champstelys. 96 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.360 There's a little observation desk. It's free and. 97 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.240 It gets the best view of Paris you could ever imagine. 98 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.759 What's it called Galleryries Lafayette. 99 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.879 I think that's on my list. 100 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.600 Yeah, it's one of the big department stores. And then 101 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.639 the other words, let trumps or whatever the hell they 102 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.000 call it, and what else about. 103 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.480 The French people incredibly rude? 104 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.600 Do you know that the first time I went to Paris, 105 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.920 I had a French Canadian girlfriend and I knew that 106 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.839 the French were so rude. I actually had her teach 107 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.839 me in anticipation of dealing with waiters. Your mother was 108 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.959 a Nazi collaborator during World War Two, wasn't she? And 109 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.720 let me tell you how that went over two things. 110 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.319 It didn't make them any more rude. 111 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.240 And second of all, you know it's France. 112 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.279 Let me tell you the other thing you know about 113 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.040 France is it's the most it's the loveliest city on 114 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.040 the planet. It's just absolutely gorgeous. But it's filled with 115 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.399 French people. And you say, this is. 116 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.959 What the neutron bomb was invented for. 117 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.160 Oh, take everybody out, leave all the buildings alone, and then. 118 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.720 Move Ashkansh, Wisconsin, some of the friendliest people in the 119 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.680 world into Paris. 120 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.439 Life is over. Okay you reyuys ready to do it? Yes, 121 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.040 let's do it. 122 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.480 It's time for Handle on the News with Amy Neil 123 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:57.959 and me. 124 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:06.000 Lead story, LA County. It's a strike today and that's 125 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.319 through tomorrow. Fifty five thousand LA County workers. It's a 126 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.920 two days strike. This is the first. 127 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.199 Time the union, the SEIU Local seven twenty one, which 128 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.800 represents everybody, first time its members have walked off the job. 129 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.000 So what county departments, libraries, some healthcare. Healthcare clinics will 130 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.560 be closed, although it's going to make no difference because 131 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.360 you're going to be in the waiting room that long anyway, 132 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.839 so you'll never notice that it's closed. Some hospitals remain open. 133 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.399 Beach debris cleanup may be paused, and so we'll see 134 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:40.839 what happens. 135 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.720 To know, yeah, that's true. You wouldn't know. 136 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.879 And this story is kind of interesting. LA time story 137 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.480 is that the county still has a triple A rating 138 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.720 credit rating despite a four billion dollars Sex of You settlement, 139 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.399 has reserves, it's been well managed, has a very deep 140 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.480 tax base, and LA has none of. 141 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:08.000 That one hundred and twenty k in one hundred days. 142 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.480 Actually it's almost one hundred and forty k in one 143 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:16.240 hundred days. Immigration, of course, a big thing for President Trump. 144 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.240 And White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said in the 145 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.600 morning briefing, the administration is in the beginning stages of 146 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.600 carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history. About 147 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.040 one hundred and thirty nine thousand people have been removed 148 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.680 so far, according to the White House. 149 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.720 We're going to talk a little bit more about that. 150 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.040 This is part of the Trump's first one hundred days, 151 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.480 and he's comparing himself to the first hundred days of FDR. 152 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:51.680 Some similarities big time and a few dissimilarities, and I'll 153 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.800 point that out coming up at seven am. 154 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.959 And on those hundred days, of course comes rating and 155 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.199 a report card. So twice as many people said President 156 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.879 Trump deserves a grade of F which is fail rather 157 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.800 than an A for now he's handled his first hundred 158 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.920 days in office. This is according to a new NPR 159 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:21.079 PBS I know Marris pol but forty five percent said 160 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.000 Trump deserves a failing mark compared to twenty three percent 161 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.839 who would pass him with flying colors. Of course, this 162 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.800 is going to be partisan, very strongly down the middle, 163 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.600 but you know they look at independence a lot on 164 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.639 these things, and that's where margins are changing. 165 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.679 Big time and We're going to talk a lot more 166 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.639 about that also later on. And it's just it's crazy, 167 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.080 it really is, how this has broken down. I mean, 168 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:51.440 it is ridiculous down partisan lines. Although I tell you 169 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.080 I think things are going to change as these tariffs 170 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.159 really come into play again. I was talking to my 171 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.240 partner Saville when we're dealing with this Herras. We're at 172 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.000 one hundred and eighty five percent terrorists right now, dealing 173 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.279 with China, and we have a shipment coming in and we. 174 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.720 Have no choice. We've got to take it. All right. 175 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.480 We'll talk more about that later on. 176 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.759 And meantime, I want to want me to start a 177 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.519 gofund me You okay, buddy, Yeah, we're worried about you. 178 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.919 Find it's not me, guy, Your money not me. 179 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.320 I have money put away.

Yeah, it is mostly favored 184 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:37.960 nation clause. 185 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.080 You're gonna look that one up.

His comments come as he 193 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.720 declares victory in federal elections. He says he promises to 194 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.600 represent everyone who calls Canada home and also said that 195 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.519 President Trump is trying to break us, so America can 196 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.759 own us. Carney said that will never happen. 197 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:23.799 Now, this is an interesting, very interesting election, less than 198 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.720 what a month ago or six weeks ago, the Liberal Party, 199 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.279 Carney's party was being trounced by the Conservative I. 200 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.320 Mean there was a thirty point difference. I mean it 201 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.279 was astounding. 202 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:42.440 And as Trump revved up his not anti Canadian rhetoric, 203 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.840 actually pretty pro Canadian rhetic because he believes that the United. 204 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.360 States would be better off with. 205 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.480 Canada's our fifty first state, and certainly Canada would be 206 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.279 better off as our fifty first state. There was the 207 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:03.120 switch was unbelievable and Carney ended up running on. 208 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.279 Anti Trump movement. 209 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.279 And what the President has done is he has created 210 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:13.159 this solidarity in Canada that you've never ever seen. Matter 211 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.399 of fact, you're going to see the national dish. Now 212 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.480 U in Canada is now chili. 213 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:24.440 Did you know that? It's like chili incarnate what. 214 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.320 They don't say thank you anymore? They say thanks That's 215 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.080 that's the mood. Now he's you know, Trump's a unifier. 216 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.200 Oh you bet. 217 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.840 He is not quite the way he intended sometimes, but. 218 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:47.279 Certainly nations are unified. Yes, yeah, all right. 219 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.320 So more than uh ninety nine percent of power networks 220 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.200 in Spain were restored just by this morning. 221 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.480 They have stabilized. 222 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.919 Electricity supply has been in Spain and Portugal, but. 223 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.679 It's been restored. 224 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.720 Now huge blackout left millions of households in the dark, 225 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.000 but powers back on. They're looking towards what caused this, 226 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:16.240 and the outage was the second massive failure of European 227 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.600 power systems in as many months of it. 228 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.600 And they're I mean they're looking at it. Is this 229 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.600 some kind of sabotage, some kind of hacking. 230 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.600 I mean, no one knows at this. 231 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.399 Point, although you know it's you think the first thing 232 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.919 comes to mind, there's something untoward here. But do you 233 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.639 remember the in the seventies when the entire Eastern Seaboard 234 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.879 was plunged into darkness for days. It was a squirrel 235 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.120 or a rat eating a power line inside of a 236 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.039 power station that just plunged everything into darkness the cascading 237 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.919 and we're going to see if that happened here too. 238 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.240 I wonder what happened to the rat. 239 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.200 It got fried pretty well. 240 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.600 Let's party on the promenade. City councils considering our proposal 241 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.919 to allow public drinking in Santa Monica's on the Third 242 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:12.720 Street Promenade. The CEO of Downtown Santa Monica, Andrew Thomas, says, 243 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.559 I think it's the biggest thing that's happened to the 244 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.000 promenade since the promenade was built. The zone would become 245 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.080 a first of it's kind in the state. Force Governor 246 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.120 Newsom passed to build allowing public drinking in entertainment zones, 247 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.639 and Santa Monica's would be Public drinking is allowed from 248 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.399 eight am to two am every day. 249 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.559 Oh my god, have you been there in a while? 250 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:34.840 No, not in a long time. 251 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.600 Day the day you have public drinking, it's just homeless people. 252 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:43.720 They're just making it legal. There in years public pooping 253 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.279 and peeing. Oh I like that. 254 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.919 I like that, but it's you know, it's almost like 255 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.759 Bourbon Street when you go down there and the drinking 256 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.360 on the street, and the bars have these Dutch doors 257 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.000 where the top opens up to the street and just 258 00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.919 grab drinks almost on the run. 259 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.679 It is the first. 260 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:06.279 Fun place to drink on the planet. It's Bourbon Street. 261 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.279 It's a lot of fun to. 262 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:09.039 Drink so well. 263 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.320 And I think it would change thing because the argument 264 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.360 is that tourism is going to go up and people 265 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.399 will have more fun, will stay longer, and spend more money. 266 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.440 I guess that works. I don't drink, so I have 267 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:25.679 no idea. Well you better start, Yeah, I better start, because. 268 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.200 You're gonna miss out on all the fun otherwise. 269 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.039 Yeah. 270 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.799 Back to Santa Monica. But this is people that are upset. 271 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:35.799 They're upset with what they describe as noise pollution caused 272 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.519 by waymo charging stations. And this isn't a particular neighborhood. 273 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:44.240 It's by Broadway near Euclid Street, and it's surrounded by homes, schools, 274 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.399 and businesses. If you remember, we talked about this a 275 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.159 couple months back. I think back in November when they 276 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.840 started doing this. They communicate by honking, and so neighbors 277 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.519 were pissed off. 278 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.000 About that. 279 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.440 But now they're trying to get a petition signed because 280 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.240 there's like beeping or when they back up, there's and 281 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.480 they kind of go into this one parking structure and 282 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.960 they're constantly beeping and making noise as to parking. One guy, 283 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.919 I think at one point, got nailed for blocking the 284 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.799 way so the cars could the way. 285 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:23.559 More vehicles got career. 286 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.879 It's like following someone on the freeway who's doing thirty 287 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.720 five miles an hour has a bumper sticker that says 288 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.200 honk if you love Jesus, Oh boy, and the more 289 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.519 you honk, the more they like it. And they don't 290 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.840 quite get what's going on, Like get the hell out 291 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.679 of the way, just a big. 292 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:47.759 Thumbs up, keep on trucking. Yeah, Okay, one. 293 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.799 More and then we'll take a break. 294 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.600 Well, we were talking about way Mo driverless cars, and 295 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.480 it looks like California is ready to allow testing of 296 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.039 autonomous truck on public roadways. I think they're talking about 297 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.759 the big ones. The state has been at the center 298 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.360 of America's self driving taxi arena, but now it's really 299 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.919 held back on testing for the bigger, big rig trucks. 300 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.600 And now they're saying that Under a proposed new framework, 301 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.279 work heavy duty avs weighing ten thousand pounds or more 302 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.240 can be tested with a DMV approved permit. 303 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.519 The Teamsters Union, of course, is coming out against this, 304 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.000 and it says for two reasons. One it would jeopardize 305 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.519 job security. Good for them for being honest about that. 306 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.759 It's going to put drivers out of work. And then 307 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.639 the other one, it's going to compromise road safety, because 308 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.240 that's really critical to. 309 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.320 The Teamsters Union. It's always for road safety. 310 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.679 We're fighting these because we care about you. 311 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.720 That's what it's about. 312 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.159 It's going to turn out that these autonomous vehicles are 313 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.919 safer by an order of magnitude than drivers. 314 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.720 It's that simple. 315 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.039 Ask any pilot who flies in bad weather, and every 316 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.680 pilot will tell you trust the instruments. Trust the instruments, 317 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.400 do not trust yourself. And so the technology today allows, 318 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.640 well it's gonna be safer. 319 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.680 So I got to get kudos to the Teamsters Union. 320 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.880 Good for you for saying it's about our jobs and 321 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.480 we don't care. All right, We're gonna take a break, 322 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.119 come back and we'll continue on with more handle on 323 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.440 the news.
