00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey everybody, it is The Bill Handle showed Neil Savedra

4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and the morning crew here for you.

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I think he'll be back Monday.

6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>He had foot surgery technically toet surgery, I guess, and

7
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 2>had it removed from his mouth, which is good. We're

8
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 2>very very proud of that and look forward to his

9
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 2>return on Monday.

10
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully. If not, I will most likely be with you.

11
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>So we've got a new pope, new pope, and I

12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>will tell you something.

13
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 3>It's been nice.

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Producer Ann and I were talking about, like the energy,

15
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>just hearing words of faith, people talking about the Holy Spirit,

16
00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:00.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about God, talking about the presence of faith, and

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>people surrounding Vatican City with excitement. There's just something refreshing

18
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>about that. Now you're talking about what is one point

19
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 2>four billion people are Catholics. I grew up in the

20
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>Catholic Church. I personally became a Protestant around seventeen or so.

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>My mom's still very active in the Catholic Church. It's

22
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a huge part of my life.

23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 3>It was exciting.

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 2>It's not the first time i've seen this obviously happen

25
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>with the smoke and all of that being here at

26
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>KFI as well, But it was just interesting to see

27
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>excitement around something that I don't know wasn't ugly. Now,

28
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>you may not like the Catholic Church or not like

29
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>the papacy or any of these things, and that's fine.

30
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying that, you know, and to see this

31
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>all over the news is, I don't know, find it

32
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>very refreshing and it's been kind of kind of cool

33
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>to hear the crowds below chanting Viva Il Papa. Long

34
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>lived the pope, So you know, what do we know

35
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>about him now? Politically we're going to start understanding more

36
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>and more about his issues. But there are some insights

37
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 2>that we have right now. So Robert Francis Privos sixty nine,

38
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be the He is the twenty two

39
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty seventh rather occupant of the throne of

40
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Saint Peter. He will be known as Leo the fourteenth.

41
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>He is the first American to fill the role as pope.

42
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>He does have a very deep tie to Latin America.

43
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Spent a lot of time as a missionary in Peru,

44
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>and you know, that really ties him to many roots.

45
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 3>But he was born here.

46
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 2>He's born in Chicago, nineteen fifty five, parents of Spanish

47
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and Franco Italian descent. Prevo served as an altar boy.

48
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 2>He was ordained in nineteen eighty two, so that's me.

49
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>He became a priest at his first words as Pope

50
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Leo the fourteenth were to speak fondly about his predecessor,

51
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Pope Francis. And I'm sure that's probably part for the course,

52
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>but still nice to hear saying that Pope Francis, who

53
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 2>blessed us united and hand in hand with God, let

54
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>us advance together. He told all the crowd that we're

55
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 2>course cheering. And if you've never been to Vatican City,

56
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>it's it's it's a very cool place. I mean the

57
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you tour it, and it's stunning the artwork there finished

58
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and unfinished. I mean, this stuff, it just is mind

59
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>boggling to see the talent and creativity. You know, the

60
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>gift of time is something that we you know, run

61
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>out of. That's the one thing that's the one commodity

62
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>that you can't make more of. Right, and you see,

63
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>when there wasn't distractions in life, no TV, no, nothing right.

64
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>The intensity of the art that took just intense amounts

65
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>of time on your back, you know, to pay things

66
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>like the Sistine Chapel, and it's just amazing. It just

67
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 2>the history of it all is powerful. And the guy

68
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>yelling at you in the Sistine Chapel, celensiou Celensiu, will

69
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>forever be echoing through my head. So the new pope,

70
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>he became archbishop in January of twenty twenty three. And

71
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>this is what I didn't know, Like talk about boom

72
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>boom boom. You know, somebody running up the ranks became

73
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 2>archbishop in January twenty twenty three. Within a few months,

74
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Pope Francis made him cardinal and now he's the pope.

75
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so from twenty twenty three to now, Yeah,

76
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>that's a that's a big old jump. As far as

77
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>his views, these are something that are going to come out.

78
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it's gonna be hard to keep the excitement

79
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>up because party poopers are already want to jump in

80
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>and they're going to pick apart his faith and his

81
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 2>belief system. And I guess that is part of the

82
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>system as well, to figure out what somebody believes.

83
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 3>If they're going to be a leader.

84
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 2>This is not only a religious leader, but somebody who

85
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 2>is off looked at and looked.

86
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Too for guidance. You have some pronouncements.

87
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna see whether when he makes these, whether he's

88
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>going to continue his predecessors reforms in the Catholic Church

89
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>dealing with women and participation. Seems to be very in

90
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>line with that on that with Pope Francis. But he

91
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>certainly has shown that he is in line with Pope

92
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Francis's view on migrants, of which he is a child

93
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>of the poor, the environment. Former roommate of the new Pope,

94
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Reverend John Leyden Johnny Leyden sounds familiar, No, no one

95
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>okay described prevost to the BBC is outgoing down to earth,

96
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>very concerned with the poor. So he was born in

97
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the United States, but his grandparents were all immigrants French Spanish.

98
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>He was raised in a very Catholic family, very engaged

99
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>in the parish. Were both his parents. Now the first

100
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>thing to come out and I talked about this were

101
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the Pope's views on LGBTQ plus folks. And it's still

102
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of unclear. Some groups believe that he's less supportive

103
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 2>than Francis, But we don't know yet, we don't know.

104
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Speaking last year about climate change, Cardinal Prevost said that

105
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>it was time to move from words to action. So

106
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 2>we know that that seems to be a very strong

107
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>focus of his.

108
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see as he.

109
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Makes pronouncements and you know, gets comfortable with his position

110
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>as to what things he's going to do or not

111
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>do in the church.

112
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Very very cool. What's in a name? Right?

113
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>What does it mean? Why do do you change your

114
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 2>name as a pope? Do you have to change your name?

115
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 2>What is it all about? So you have Cardinal Robert

116
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Prevost appearing on the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica, introduced

117
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>by the name Leo the fourteenth will The first thing

118
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>we know is that there was thirteen more before him.

119
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>But the choice of the name in the Catholic Church

120
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>does give a little bit of, I don't know, insight

121
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>as to what the papacy might look like under this

122
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>new leader. So by choosing Leo, the new two hundred

123
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and sixty seventh pope joins these other thirteen popes that

124
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 2>had that name before him.

125
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 3>So you look what they basically do.

126
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>You start to look at the previous leos, and it

127
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 2>shows in history that they were reformers, including Pope Leo

128
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 2>the thirteenth, elected in eighteen seventy eight, So he spoke

129
00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>about human dignity, the dignity of labor. So that might

130
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>be part because obviously, you know, popes select their people names.

131
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 2>They've been doing it for some time centuries. They're often

132
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 2>drawn to similar names of you know, previous pontiffs, but

133
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>ones that they want to emulate. Right, that's kind of like,

134
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, how you name kids too, based on family

135
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 2>members or something interesting that you know touched your life

136
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>or in the case of our son Maximilian, a bloodthirsty, thirsty,

137
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 2>murderous robot from the Black Hole movie. But have say,

138
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 2>everybody does it their own way. So popes have been

139
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>uh checked, you know, choosing their names for centuries. It

140
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't always that way, but we know now because of

141
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the choice that this is probably going to be a

142
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of social focus teaching because these are some of

143
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the things that were done by previous pope leos. Now,

144
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in the early days of Tholicism, pope's you know, usually

145
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>just used their baptismal name, whatever it was. Some pontiffs

146
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 2>had names that if you you know, hear them now,

147
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>they sound ridiculous, like Pope hilarious. No joke, that was

148
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a pope. Pope hilarious. Isn't that Alec Baldwin's wife's name.

149
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I got there wrong. There was pope some simplica, simplicious, simplicious,

150
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 2>not a very smart pope maybe. But when Pope John

151
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>the second was elected in five point thirty three a

152
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>d he changed the president, opting for John over his

153
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 2>given name.

154
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Mer curious.

155
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Now the belief is that that was probably shed because

156
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>of the you know, Pagan Roman god of the same name.

157
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>So this all kind of came about in the late

158
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 2>tenth century that choosing a papal name became kind of

159
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>standard practice, and it's what we tend to see today.

160
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of John's. There's a lot of

161
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>John Paul's. As a matter of fact, there was for

162
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a long time. It was just a single name. And

163
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 2>these are this is how anything changes, right.

164
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 3>You have.

165
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>A name or one way of doing something, and then

166
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>someone says, you know what, I want two names and

167
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 2>they do John Paul. Then all of a sudden, John

168
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Paul becomes the norm to be able to pick two names. Now,

169
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the late seventeen hundreds to the mid nineteen hundred saw

170
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>a wave of Pius's Pope Pious. Well more recently, we've

171
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of popes that I've grabbed towards John

172
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and Paul, and so that becomes kind of you know,

173
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>that's like Pope John or Pope John Paul is like

174
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>what I think about as a pope. You know, these

175
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 2>were these were like pope's growing up now, growing up

176
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>in a Catholic household. These were the names that you

177
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.879
<v Speaker 2>heard and tied to the pope. And it's kind of

178
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>what sticks in my head. But I assume now and

179
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>understand more theology now as to why they may pick

180
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a certain name tying to somebody that they want to

181
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>emulate or they But back then I just thought, oh,

182
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 2>they just picked a religious name. Right, This pope pointed

183
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>something out in scripture, and you go, oh, that sounds

184
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>that sounds pretty Catholic, biblical.

185
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's go ahead with that.

186
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>But it is interesting that this may foreshadow some of

187
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the things that may be coming out of the papacy

188
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>from here on forward. So we will keep an eye

189
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>on everything Pope. I wonder when the the pope citement

190
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.320
<v Speaker 2>is going to die down?

191
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Are we going to have? Like by Monday?

192
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>People are still gonna be excited by the pope because

193
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be the first Mass Mother's Day Mass.

194
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna be the first first Mass. I think the

195
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 2>excitement will be around for a while, especially because he's American. Yeah,

196
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm I'm just glad to see people talking about

197
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 2>something that's a little more positive.

198
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a little more positive, I'll take They missed the

199
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 4>most important part about this pope. What he's a white

200
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Sox fan? Oh wow? Is that a decree? Is that

201
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 4>like something now that has come is official? Like all Catholics? Yeah,

202
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 4>his brother confirmed it. Oh boy, I know the Cubs

203
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 4>earlier in the day were trying to claim him.

204
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Of course they no, no, no, no, no. White. Does

205
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 3>that make people like him either more or less if

206
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 3>he's a white Sox fan? I think more more of

207
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 3>an underdog?

208
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm all right, well, people of faith, we usually are

209
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>more of an underdog, all right. I know a lot

210
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 2>of folks in the film and television industry, entertainment industry

211
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>here in Los Angeles. There was a time where I

212
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted to go into it myself. I really loved making props.

213
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I love you know, I love all of the costumes,

214
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the props, the sets, special effects. Actually got to do

215
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>special effects on a film when I was in my

216
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 2>early twenties. It was a religious film and it was

217
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>super super cool to do just.

218
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Being around it. I love it.

219
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Never went down that path, but have a lot of

220
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>friends that are in it, and I think we forget

221
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 2>about that. I think we forget that. Our economy has

222
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>partnered with the film industry for a long time. It's

223
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>what built hollywood Land into Hollywood, what made what we

224
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.639
<v Speaker 2>have here in southern California special. It's very easy to

225
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>get jaded from the small percentage. Like the actors and

226
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>directors people get paid big money and you can go,

227
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, you know, well, you know, why should

228
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I cry it here for them? But trust me, there

229
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 2>are thousands of people that aren't in that category that

230
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:29.559
<v Speaker 2>are making those movies happen. From you know, the prop makers,

231
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 2>from the special effects people, from you know, food and beverage,

232
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>people that come in for craft services, from security, from PA's,

233
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>from lighting, the grips, the best boys that all these

234
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>people that you see that their titles scroll by super

235
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>fast after the really slow single card names are up there.

236
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>These are the people that make movies, that make television.

237
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>They're affected too, and a lot of them have lived

238
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>here in southern California for that very reason.

239
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 3>So now we have now we have Trump coming out.

240
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And saying that on Truth Social, and keep in mind

241
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>True Social is kind of a sketchpad for the president.

242
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't take everything he says to be gospel or

243
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that it will come to fruition. I think he throws

244
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>things out. That's his big, you know napkin where he

245
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 2>just writes things down on. But he proposed on True

246
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Social that the US film industry was dying. He unveiled

247
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 2>plans for tariffs on overseas made productions to reverse the trend,

248
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 2>which he called a national security threat. Is it a

249
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>national security threat? No, However, the fact that movies are

250
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>leaving our country and are date for countries like Britain,

251
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Canada and the Czech Republic. This reversing that trend that

252
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 2>we've had forever in Hollywood being in films shot here.

253
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, the.

254
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Biggest grossing film, a Minecraft movie shot in Canada.

255
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 3>No reason why it needed to be shot in Canada.

256
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Now the thing that I don't get about Trump's position

257
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 2>yet because yet I don't know that he's clarified. There's

258
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.279
<v Speaker 2>some films that need to be shot in Budapest because

259
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 2>they take place in Budapest. So there are things that

260
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.559
<v Speaker 2>you are going to do that that's not I don't

261
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 2>care about that personally. That's part. That's part for the course.

262
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.319
<v Speaker 2>You want excitement and all that. What I care about

263
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 2>and what bugs me is Canada for America. They go

264
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>to Canada dress the streets like American streets because it's cheaper.

265
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>That should not be happening. We should do something about that.

266
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Newsome has reached out, there's no no one is going.

267
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh Newsom and Trump love each other.

268
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>They don't. Newsom has made that very clear. And let's

269
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:15.920
<v Speaker 2>face it, Trump doesn't like anybody mostly so now gav

270
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Our very own gave Newsome. He's proposed a seven point

271
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>five billion dollar tax credit program and offered to work

272
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 2>with Donald Trump to boost US film production. And I

273
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 2>think that that's that's a good thing. I think they

274
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>both need to come together for this.

275
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Now.

276
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 2>If you want to slap some tariffs on playing other

277
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 2>countries for US, I think I'm all right with that.

278
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>But you can't just motivate negatively. We have to think

279
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 2>if it's important enough, then you're gonna that you think

280
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.400
<v Speaker 2>we should throw one hundred percent tariffs on films made abroad,

281
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Then it's important enough to put money down and say

282
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>we want tax credits and plans to boost US film.

283
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You can't just magically force people to do stuff here

284
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.359
<v Speaker 2>more expensively. You have to build in a system of

285
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 2>incentives as well, and maybe a combination. Like I said,

286
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>may say, if you're gonna go to Canada and dress

287
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it like New York, then kiss my ass. There's gonna

288
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:36.200
<v Speaker 2>be tariffs, but there should also be positive incentive incentives.

289
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's nothing.

290
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember, nothing that bums me out as a fan

291
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 2>of film and television and the arts and going, oh

292
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, what a cool scene that was? I wonder

293
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's, you know, supposed to take place in La

294
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>or New York or something. I go, I wonder where

295
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 2>that set was or where that location rather was and

296
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I look it up and it was Canada, Toronto, Toronto.

297
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's important enough to talk tariffs, it's important enough

298
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:15.319
<v Speaker 2>to talk benefits. I'm seeing people scrambling, very hard working

299
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>people These aren't the single card names that you know.

300
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.400
<v Speaker 2>These are the people that bust their humps. I mean, really,

301
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 2>if you've ever seen what a grip does, holy hell,

302
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 2>like Swiss army knives of the film industry, I mean

303
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:36.720
<v Speaker 2>just just and lifting. They make nothing out of air

304
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 2>force aluminum. In the film industry. It's all steel. It

305
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 2>al weighs a ton, and it's moving in and out everywhere,

306
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're so meticulous that everything is wrapped up the

307
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>way it came.

308
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Everything.

309
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean just some of the hardest work you've ever seen.

310
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 2>But we think it's glamour and all. We need to

311
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 2>protect the film industry and television and these things in

312
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Southern California. We must protect it in the United States.

313
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the punishment with tariffs is the

314
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 2>only way. I think there's a partial save when it

315
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>comes to playing you know, Toronto for La New York

316
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But because films are going to be done abroad,

317
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 2>of course they are. They're neither going to be in

318
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 2>London because they take place in London, those types of things.

319
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>But we should also incentifize and maybe we might see something,

320
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>something good come out of a relationship between Newsome and

321
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>trump fingers crossed, or in Bill Handle's case, to's cross

322
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.880
<v Speaker 2>all right, w D forty. This stuff is everywhere. They

323
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.839
<v Speaker 2>believe that, like nineteen out of every twenty homes has

324
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>WD forty blue and yellow. Whether it's the spray can

325
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>or the little I don't know, what do you call

326
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.279
<v Speaker 2>that little squishy oil can.

327
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Whatever, It's all over the place.

328
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 2>And I've heard Handle talk about it on the air sometime,

329
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 2>and I came across an article. I'm a builder, a maker,

330
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 2>candlestick guy, whatever. I like to make stuff. I like

331
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>to build replica props, I like to fix things. I

332
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>like to work with electronics. So WD forty is a

333
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 2>big deal. Now I use it for different things than

334
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.200
<v Speaker 2>what you might People always think of it as an oil,

335
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's really not in the sense that you would

336
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 2>think a regular oil is. The name WD forty actually

337
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 2>stands for water displacement. It's a formula and it was

338
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the fortieth attempt of that water displayment. Came from a

339
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 2>rocket company, rocket chemical company, and they were here in

340
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 2>San Diego, a little lab. This is a homegrown story

341
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and no one knows what it's made of. So this

342
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 2>back in nineteen fifty three w forty. You had this

343
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:06.279
<v Speaker 2>fledgling rocket chemical company had three employees. They wanted to

344
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.759
<v Speaker 2>create a line of rust prevention solvents and decreasers for

345
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>aerospace industry, and they had this little lab in San

346
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Diego and it took them forty attempts. That's where you

347
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.759
<v Speaker 2>get the water displacement, you know, WD forty, water displacement forty,

348
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 2>and that's where it came to be. Over time, they

349
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.519
<v Speaker 2>became conveyor and people were sneaking. People that worked there

350
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>were sneaking this stuff home to use it at home.

351
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>By nineteen fifty eight, with it's in full commercial use.

352
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Back in two thousand and nine, Wired Magazine sent some

353
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>to a laboratory to have it analyzed because they don't

354
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>we don't.

355
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Know what's in it.

356
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 2>And the verdict fish oil, vacoline and the goop inside

357
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>homemade lava lamps. How's that for a recipe? So people

358
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 2>use it for everything. A lot of people don't understand

359
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:06.599
<v Speaker 2>that it's incredibly good at removing rust. A lot of

360
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 2>people use it for like a lubrication, but really it

361
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 2>has many others. So these are some of the ones

362
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 2>that we came across usage that I thought were interesting.

363
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Spray it on dead fish bait, as great pike, attractor

364
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>coat wire tomato cages with it to keep insects away.

365
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>It stops metal tent poles from squeaking in the wind.

366
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>It removes crayon from turtle shells. If you've got a turtle,

367
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>now you know. It works like magic untangled horse manes

368
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 2>and tails. It removes gunk from the base of the

369
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:50.440
<v Speaker 2>toilet bowl. It's a great lubricant for prosthetic limbs. Maybe

370
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>handle might need that. It shines the leaves of our

371
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>artificial plants.

372
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Look at that. It's like armooroll for your fake plants.

373
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:06.319
<v Speaker 2>There arthritis sufferers who swear by spraying it on their

374
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 2>stiff limbs.

375
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.759
<v Speaker 3>The company, though, says, don't do that. Don't do that.

376
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Don't put this on your body like that. It's excellent

377
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 2>for removing candle soot. Great for getting chewing gum out

378
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>of kid's hair. It's rumored to keep the Statue of

379
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Liberty rust free. I don't know that to be true.

380
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 2>It takes the sting out of fire ant bites.

381
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Eh.

382
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Keep in mind, we're not medical doctors. I don't know

383
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:39.079
<v Speaker 2>if any of this works. It keeps mirrors and windows

384
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>from fogging up what you could be in the car,

385
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>or your bathroom wherever. It repels pigeons from balcony railings. Really,

386
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it works on other birds as well.

387
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Paired with long handled lighter, makes a great mini flame thrower.

388
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Don't do that.

389
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Keep snow from snicking sticking to shovels. It eliminates static

390
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 2>on volume control and tuning knobs. It cleans dog poop

391
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:12.599
<v Speaker 2>off tennis shoes. It camouflages scratches in cultured marble. It

392
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 2>removes duct tape. Those are just some of the recommendations

393
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of people that use it in their house. WD forty

394
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 2>what can't it do? Let's get the latest. Oh no,

395
