Max Crosby, Defensive end of course, 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.079 the face of the franchise, most could argue, has just 6 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.079 signed a three year, one hundred and six point five 7 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.480 million dollar extension, making him the NFL's top paid player 8 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.440 in NFL history. Who is not a quarterback, big deal, 9 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.719 a big a big Let's just say the Raiders solidifying 10 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.640 that Max Crosby means the most to them and is 11 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.039 the face of that team as he should be. That 12 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.799 is an important position and he's an important guy for them, 13 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.079 so good for them, Good for the Raiders. It is 14 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.479 going to be a rough weekend for our Bald Eagle friends. 15 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.320 I'm just saying this because it's obvious we're going to 16 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.520 have rain today and tomorrow, and we've got baby Eaglitz 17 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.479 up there in Big Bear, Jackie and Shadows babies. The 18 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.439 concern is the storm that's headed. But everyone who is 19 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.159 in the know, who works up there and Big Baron 20 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.000 has eyes on Jackie and Shadow and the Baby says 21 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.000 that Jackie knows how to protect the babies. 22 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.519 She's been through storms before. She will keep them warm, 23 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:19.840 no harm, no foul. 24 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.480 All right, we've got breaking news when it comes to 25 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.879 Washington's let's just get into swamp watch. 26 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.400 Politician, which means I'm a cheap and a liar and 27 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.200 when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. 28 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.319 Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders 29 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:33.879 are done. 30 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.200 The other side never quits. I'm not going anywhere. So 31 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.719 that you train the squat, I can imagine what can 32 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.799 be and be unburdened by what has been. You know, 33 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.359 nervans have always been going. 34 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.680 They're not stupid. 35 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.680 A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 36 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.799 Whether people voting for you were not swamp watch, they're 37 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:55.560 all countered. 38 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.599 Well, there were news reports this morning that Donald Trump 39 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.000 was weighing plans to water down the tariffs on goods 40 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.280 from Canada and Mexico. Senior officials went to different media outlets, 41 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.560 they spoke two different people saying that yes, one day 42 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.280 after this economic strike on two of our biggest trading partners, 43 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.360 there may be some sort of recalibrating on these tariffs 44 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.560 because it didn't play out that great on Wall Street. 45 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.919 As you can imagine, the aggressive trade strategy went into 46 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.360 effect at midnight yesterday, targeting our two closest neighbors with 47 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:41.719 duties of twenty five percent. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick saying 48 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.840 that there could be carve outs coming as soon as today. 49 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.719 JD Vance has a trip to the US Mexico border 50 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.400 for this afternoon, and just moments ago the news hit 51 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.240 that Trump is granting a one month exemption on his 52 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.319 stiff new tariffs for US automakers. He met with the 53 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:03.960 Big three this morning, Ford, GM and Stilantis and says 54 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.639 we're going to give a one month exemption on any 55 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.080 autos coming through. This was where you were going to 56 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.599 see probably the biggest hike on new cars. As quickly 57 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.199 as you were going to see hikes you talk about 58 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.400 fifty cents on an avocado or something like that, you 59 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.080 were going to see a thousands, thousands of dollars difference 60 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.960 on a new car. And you know how much the 61 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.400 relationship between it, the administration and the auto industry, how 62 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.560 important that is. Retail giants predicted that prices are highly 63 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:40.199 likely to start rising on store shelves almost immediately, and 64 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.240 when you dug into the fresh polling when it came 65 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.599 to American sentiment on inflation, saw that this was not 66 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.479 going over well because remember that post election bump when 67 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.960 consumer confidence was super high because Trump ran on making 68 00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:01.000 America America affordable again, and then all of this started, 69 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.800 all of the concerns about will the prices go back 70 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.319 up at the grocery. 71 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.879 Store when they never really came back down? Right. 72 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.280 Trump last night in his record breaking when you talked 73 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.160 about length joint addressed to Congress, he acknowledged that the 74 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.160 tariffs would cause a little disturbance, but we're okay with that, 75 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.160 he said. He blamed the cost of living challenges on 76 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:27.399 Joe Biden, that he inherited an economic catastrophe and inflation nightmare. 77 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.160 Democrats. 78 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.480 Their response to Yesterday's address and everything that's going on 79 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.920 here was the quote I saw today, somebody slap me 80 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.040 and wake me up. That was their reaction. Some Democrats 81 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.040 did not even show up. Chris Murphy was one of them, 82 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:50.000 a vocal senator from Connecticut. Those who did go were 83 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.360 raising signs, black circular signs with white lettering that said 84 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.600 things like musk steals, no kings, save medicaid false. And 85 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.000 Trump kind of came out of the gate and made 86 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.720 no bones about it, saying. 87 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.519 That like he could. 88 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.759 I've said this before too, he could cure cancer and 89 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.680 Democrats would still hate him. 90 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.839 This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once 91 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.160 again I look at the Democrats in front of me, 92 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.120 and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say 93 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.839 to make them happy or to make them stand or 94 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.000 smile or applaud. Nothing I can do. I could find 95 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.360 a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that 96 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.160 would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to 97 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.759 the greatest economy and history, or the stoppage of crime 98 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.959 to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting 99 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.160 right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly 100 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.439 will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do 101 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.120 it no matter what five times I've been up here. 102 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.439 It's very sad and it just shouldn't be this way, you. 103 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.279 Know, And it was an odd thing. 104 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.480 I mean, it's obvious, and the fact that he knows 105 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.199 that it's good, I mean, I don't even know if 106 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.639 you would take it seriously. If the Democrats cheered, I 107 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.639 think a couple of them did with the tax cuts, 108 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.199 or he tried to go them into applauding tax cuts 109 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.639 at some point. But there was a lot of the 110 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.439 right on social media this morning saying that the Democrats 111 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.120 didn't even stand for the murdered people. You know, sometimes 112 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:32.399 they'll have the guests of people that have been well murdered, 113 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.399 whether it come whether it's drugs or illegal immigration or 114 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.240 what have you, whatever the scourge is that ends lives, 115 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.040 the people whose family and friends were killed by this, 116 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.199 they are often guests for whatever political party at these 117 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.759 major addresses, and Lincoln Riley's family was one of them, 118 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.480 the young girl college student who was killed by the 119 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.639 person here illegally, who was also a criminal aside from 120 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.759 being here illegally. That the Democrats didn't stand in a 121 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.959 plod and to me, even before those reactions started hitting 122 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.560 and you know, make what you will out of them, 123 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.480 I have no judgment on that, but it is odd 124 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.000 to me. It was odd when I was watching it 125 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.279 in real time, and it happens with both political parties 126 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.720 where everyone stands up in applauds. Whoever shows up, whose 127 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.279 loved member was killed for whatever tragic reason. It's a 128 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.360 weird round of applause, isn't it. You want to support them, 129 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.879 but applause to me seems off and odd and always 130 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.360 cringey and uncomfortable. The other thing I noticed last night 131 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.680 is years ago, they would pan to somebody in the audience, 132 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.920 whether the president was talking about them or they wanted 133 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.560 to see what the opposition was doing, how they were reacting, 134 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.560 and nobody really knew the camera was on them. Well, 135 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.279 in twenty twenty five, everybody is camera ready and backgrounds 136 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.839 matter and everyone knows it. And they would pan to 137 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.879 Robert Kennedy Junior. And the woman behind him is in 138 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.199 full makeup, full glam squad, and she's smiling, and who 139 00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.399 the hell knows who she is, but she damn well 140 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.079 knows she's on camera because she seated right behind our 141 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.040 fk RFKA Junior. So I thought that was kind of funny. 142 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.360 The things that amuse me when I'm learning about the 143 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.560 state of the globe. All Right, we have some research, 144 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.759 some news you can use. Do you feel bad about swearing? 145 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.639 Have you tried to cut back on it? That is 146 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.000 something too loud? I support you, and I think that 147 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.040 that is great, but you may be hurting your health. 148 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.439 I'm breaking news today to keep up with locally. 149 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.040 La County now says it is suing Southern California Edison 150 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.799 over the Altadena fire, alleging that so Cal Edison's utility 151 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:37.639 their equipment. 152 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.000 Sparked that fire. 153 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.720 Of course, it destroyed more than ninety four hundred structures, 154 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.759 killed seventeen people. The lawsuit is seeking to recover costs 155 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.600 and damages sustained from the fire that damaged parks and homes, 156 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.159 ruined environment, wildlife. All the things are laid out there. 157 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.440 Additional cause incurred by county departments as well. You kind 158 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.600 of saw this coming, but now the paperwork has been 159 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.559 filled out there. 160 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.919 It is a what you watch in Wednesday. 161 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.879 And I gotta say, Deborah Mark, you and Amy King 162 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.080 and my friend Doreen all mentioned Paradise to me. Yes, 163 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.279 So I started it last night and I watched two 164 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.879 episodes and I love it. 165 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.039 Oh yeah, it's great. Just wait. It is so well acted. 166 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.840 I mean, I love, I really do love all the 167 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.080 actors in it, and they do such a great job 168 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.679 and there is a fun little Usually I'm not a 169 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.000 big fan of things that aren't plausible. Yeah, same, same, 170 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.039 But this is just short of that that bar that 171 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:42.360 I have. 172 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:43.720 Usually it's sci fi stuff. 173 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.480 But like I am out, I didn't know that you 174 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.759 didn't like I hate. Yeah, I need to stand it. Same, yes, exactly. 175 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:50.840 So this, this. 176 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.840 Is just teetering on the dash of things. I'm like, 177 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.000 I can kind of believe that maybe this could happen. 178 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.879 But it's very good. It's emotional, it's suspenseful, it's fun. 179 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.799 So let us know, I mean fun, not really, but 180 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.559 it is good to watch.

Through that 189 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.480 documentary that was three parts. That was good as well, 190 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.039 So let us know what shows have your attention right now. Well, 191 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.519 I've seen research before that says swearing is good for you, 192 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.919 but I've never seen this much research that came out 193 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:53.519 this week about this topic. Allie Robertson is a psychology 194 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.720 researcher at the University of Oxford and he says it's 195 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.120 something that we all share and it really is magical 196 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.600 that swearing holds so much power over us as societies. 197 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.440 Richard Stevens takes it one step further. Richard Stevens is 198 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.159 a researcher and senior lecturer in psychology at Keele University 199 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.840 in England. He says swearing is a drug free, calorie neutral, 200 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.840 cost free means of self help, a men to that. 201 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.279 One of my friends sent me this Larry David snippet 202 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:35.720 yesterday of him asking what rhymes with Mary directions to 203 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.919 a restaurant, and he's in his car and he says, hey, Mary, 204 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.759 take me to you know, Bob's Big Boy or whatever 205 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.120 the restaurant was, and how she can't get it right, 206 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.480 and he's trying to tell her more specifically where he 207 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.919 wants the directions to go in the car and where 208 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.000 the restaurant, and repeats the restaurant over and over and 209 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.639 gets to the point where he is just sweat. He's 210 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.200 saying the most vulgar awful things to his to his 211 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.240 voice assistant, and it's freaking hilarious. I mean, I was 212 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.000 crying because we've all kind of engaged in that behavior. 213 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.039 Where you lose control completely. 214 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.440 Whether it's dealing with Mamesa or Mary or any of 215 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:20.240 these things, or the cars, tech support or whatever. 216 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:21.919 You know, you've been that part. 217 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.399 It's not just me, it's not just the Larry David Ryders. 218 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:32.159 It's what happens when we're frustrated so often we go 219 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:37.039 to the swearing place. Stevens this guy that I was 220 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.759 talking about, Richard Stevens from Keeley University in England. 221 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.279 He published the first study back in. 222 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:50.720 Two thousand and nine linking swearing and hypo algesia that 223 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:55.720 stands for a reduced sensitivity to pain. We talked about 224 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.960 this research where subjects were asked to participate in a 225 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.360 cold press or tax. They held their hands in ice 226 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.360 water for as long as possible while repeating either a 227 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.759 swear word of their choosing or a non swear word. 228 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.080 Now in the experiment, it showed that swearing was associated 229 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:19.080 with not only increased pain tolerance, but also decrease perceived pain. 230 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.000 They could handle it longer and said it hurt less 231 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.960 than the people who did not swear. In twenty twenty, 232 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.480 they went on to take the study a step further. 233 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:36.279 They investigated the use of the F word compared with 234 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.720 a neutral word and two made up swear words, fouch 235 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:47.720 and twizz pipe, and they found that this was linked 236 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.879 with increased pain tolerance as well, but not when they 237 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:58.080 used the phony words. They tried other things for or 238 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.120 they tried other countries to see if this research held. 239 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.399 They compared Japanese and English speakers. In Japan, swearing is 240 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.039 not socially ingrained the way it is in Britain, so 241 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.320 they didn't think it would have the same effect. Now 242 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.399 in Britain, please, I mean you can say the C 243 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.799 word as a salutation. They have it completely entrenched in 244 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:23.240 their lexicon. Bless their hearts. Good for them, But it 245 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:28.480 worked just as well regardless of the language Japan, Britain, English, whatever, 246 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.480 swearing or America swearing was linked with greater pain tolerance. 247 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.159 In addition, they found swearing has been linked to bolster 248 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.879 social bonds, that it's been linked to improved memory in 249 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.919 alleviation of the social pain of exclusion or rejection. You 250 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.360 swear with people, it brings you together. They say that neurologically, 251 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:57.159 the pathways for physical pain and emotional pain are the same, 252 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.679 So when you have a heartbreak, it's the same neural structures, 253 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.559 it's the same biological blueprint, and that's why it feels 254 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.879 so visceral, because it literally is. They say swearing has 255 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.600 also been shown through their science to be linked to 256 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:16.960 an increase in strength. That in an anaerobic power test 257 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.799 on a bike, swearing was linked with an improvement and 258 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.240 participant strength. 259 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.080 So there you go. 260 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.000 You want to get rid of swearing, maybe think about 261 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:33.000 just cutting down a little bit because of health. Gary 262 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.960 and Shannon will continue how med spas completely took over 263 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.080 the country. This article in Bloomberg is fascinating. It's written 264 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.679 from the New York perspective. In terms of walking down 265 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.399 the street and seeing medspas every other block. You could 266 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.000 say the same for Los Angeles. 267 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.759 Why is that? When did this all happen? Get you 268 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.840 caught up on everything that's trending when we talk what 269 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:59.320 is happening? Also, an update on the tariff talk. 270 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.320 We've been expecting more tariff news to come out today 271 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.240 because that is with the Commerce Secretary tease this morning 272 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.960 when he went on Fox Business. The news is that 273 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.440 President Trump is granting a one month exemption on his 274 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.279 stiff new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada for automakers. 275 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.440 He met with the Big three automakers Forward, GM, Stalantis today. 276 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.080 He also told the CEOs that they should move production 277 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.720 to the US. Building these cars in Canada and Mexico 278 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.000 should move it to the US even though it's much 279 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.679 cheaper to do so there. That's why it's done there. 280 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.320 But any who's that's apparently what he said. He said 281 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.759 in a statement that we spoke with the Big three 282 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.000 auto dealers. We're going to give a one month exemption 283 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.279 on any autos coming through. 284 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.080 His press secretary did say. 285 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.639 The President is opened hearing about additional exemptions. But Canadians 286 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.320 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not willing to lift Canada's 287 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:04.720 retaliatory tariffs if Trump leaves any tariffs on Canada. So 288 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.880 still a bit of a stalemate there. Pope Francis, we 289 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.440 have an update here. It is it's good news. I 290 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.519 wouldn't be telling you if it was bad news. Well 291 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.000 I would be, but I wouldn't be making a big 292 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.759 deal out of it. Pope Francis has increased his physical therapy. 293 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.119 They say his condition has remained stable today. Stable is good. 294 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.680 Stable is better than guarded. Right on the hierarchy of conditions. 295 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.920 The start of Lent is happening. He received ashes on 296 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:35.759 his forehead. Is it ash Wednesday? 297 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.039 Today? 298 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:37.279 It's ash Wednesday? 299 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.759 My god, I feel awful that I just realized that, 300 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.200 and it's almost noon. I haven't seen anyone around here 301 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.559 with ashes. Ps. That's usually the telltale sign. So I 302 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.079 work with a bunch of heathens too. No ashes in 303 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.720 the building so far. Anyway, he got the ashes, of 304 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.720 course he did. He's the Pope. I mean he would 305 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.119 be dead and get the ashes, right, don't you think, 306 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.279 like if well, we don't have to play that game. 307 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.079 But I think so. He called the parish priest as well. 308 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.759 In Gaza. 309 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.079 According to the Vatican, they said that the Holy Father 310 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.920 suffered no respiratory crises during the day, that he's just 311 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.960 getting oxygen through that nasal tube, which is not scary 312 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.519 to see in the hospital, and that's good. He will 313 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.440 resume the use of a non invasive mechanical mask for 314 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.319 the night, so that's the ventilation he's been getting. The 315 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.440 non invasive mass, so just an oxygen mask to help 316 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.720 him sleep and get the oxygen. He's had the double pneumonia. 317 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.240 He is eighty eight years old. He's had chronic lung 318 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.440 disease in the past. He had part of a lung 319 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.400 removed as a young man as well. But he participated 320 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.920 in Ash Wednesday, got holy communion. He called the parish 321 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.319 priest in Gaza. He's getting pt physical therapy. Now he 322 00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.839 may pull out of this, guys, the Pope may pull 323 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.440 out of this. 324 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:01.920 All right. 325 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.480 Well, Bloomberg had a nice write up of medspas taking 326 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.960 over America. We kind of talked about the popularity of these. 327 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.640 It just keeps getting to be more. It feels like 328 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.440 more and more. In fact, the data shows that according 329 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:22.319 to the American med Spa Association, the industry expanded more 330 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:27.119 than sixfold from twenty ten to twenty twenty three, grow 331 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.880 six times more than six times in the past thirteen 332 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.200 years or so billion multi billion dollar business. The article 333 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:41.319 documenting how medspas took over America is in Bloomberg and 334 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:46.200 they say, basically, this is at Park Slope in Manhattan 335 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.440 or in New York City, but it really holds up 336 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.960 for Los Angeles as well, the takeaway here is every 337 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.359 block or two you'll pass another storefront advertising the latest 338 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:01.240 in these esthetic enhancements. Medspas'll get that in Los Angeles 339 00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:06.680 as well. They have offers of all kinds for injections, botox, 340 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.400 lip filler, fat dissolver, butt plumper. You don't have to 341 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.039 walk around Alay to see all these things in action. 342 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.079 Just turn on your television. It's everywhere. 343 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.359 It's everywhere. 344 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.240 If you go to the restaurants, you'll see it, and 345 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.319 maybe not on a storefront, but you'll see it in 346 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.319 the people's faces or in the people's butts. Cool sculp 347 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.039 to m sculpt, sculpt, drud, all of these things to 348 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.640 make you look better. They say that the average revenue 349 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.720 per spa more than doubled in that timeframe where I 350 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.880 said that the industry blew up six. 351 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:40.640 Times what it was. 352 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:48.319 The thing is this, you don't the bar is very 353 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.160 low to kind of operate a med spa. They compare 354 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.759 it to kind of a halfway point between a hair 355 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:59.240 salon and a doctor's office. And they're staffed by people 356 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:04.039 licensed to administer injections, but they kind of tend to. 357 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.319 Look and feel more like than nail salon. 358 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:12.519 Or the hair salon, nice wall sconces, you know, pretty curtains, 359 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.480 things that match, maybe a candle. Not acting like I've 360 00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.759 been to one, but if I had been to a medspa, 361 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.680 this is probably what you would see.
