But you're You're a unicorn and 23 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.560 I love that about you. Oh that's great, that's excellent. 24 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.079 I have to start today by telling you that. 25 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.719 I I mean, I'm not wrong yet, but it's looking 26 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.120 like I might be wrong about something. Yesterday I said, 27 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.439 when it came to this signal app thing, this whole 28 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.560 journalist in the in the the mix, I said, somebody's 29 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.959 gonna lose their job over this, and I think it 30 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.519 might be Mike Waltz, the National Security Advisor. 31 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.400 The White House is doubling down. 32 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.200 The White House is like, nope, they're all great, everything's cool. 33 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:48.840 This was the journalist's fault. 34 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.079 And I thought, wow, that is a twist. 35 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.599 And at some point we were able to blame Joe 36 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.159 Biden obviously, and and it looks like maybe nobody, nobody 37 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.760 loses their jobs. And I shouldn't own better. I should 38 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.920 have known that Teflon don can withstand the kind of 39 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.639 accusations that no other president would have. I mean, if 40 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.759 this had been Obama, Fox News would have been wall 41 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.280 to wall with this. There would have been hearings on it. 42 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.840 There would have been all out to all out gnashing 43 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.400 of the teeth. The Democrats would have turned on members 44 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:23.080 of the cabinet. 45 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.520 But instead what we have is I should have seen this. 46 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.520 We have the the rallying of the GOP. Some of 47 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.719 them are saying, well, that was a terrible thing. What 48 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.560 that journalist did, and I my mind is blown. I 49 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.280 mean even yesterday Mike Waltz, who's the National Security advisor, 50 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.719 he took full responsibility, says he that was on me. 51 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.159 And we know that because he's the guy that sent 52 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.199 the invite to the journalists, and so his his comments 53 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.319 are coming you know, they're coming out saying, well, it 54 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.599 was me, but the journalist has a lot of responsibility 55 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.560 in fact, saying that it was the journalist that that 56 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.159 leaked all that highly sensitive information. It's not his fault 57 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.639 for inviting a journalist into uh into the whole thing 58 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.319 in a country where we have freedom of the press. 59 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.319 It's the journalist's fault for seeing it. And I hadn't 60 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.560 put that together yet. This is this is kind of 61 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.800 like saying, you know, you're you're driving, you're you're driving 62 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.120 on the freeway and you witness an accident and you 63 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.039 pull over to help, and the police get your name, 64 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.080 and then of course some attorney says, we want you 65 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.719 to come testify because we're suing the the Jesus out 66 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.879 of the uh, the other party, and you need to 67 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.479 just come and tell us what you saw. So you 68 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.039 go to court and you sit on the witness stand 69 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.879 and say, yeah, I saw this car. They merged, they 70 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.479 didn't use their blinker, they didn't look uh, and then 71 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.879 they they they just torpedoed right into the car that 72 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.719 was in front of me on the freeway. And then 73 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.800 the during cross examination they say, so you saw this 74 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.280 and you say, yeah, I saw that. It happened right 75 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.800 in front of me, and they say, oh, dear, you 76 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.520 witness this accident and then come to this court and 77 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.840 tell us what you saw. How dare you slander my 78 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.159 client in such a horrible, horrible manner and on the record, 79 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.959 you should be ashamed and your mother should never talk 80 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.079 to you again. Your Christmas presents are cut off, and 81 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.079 Santa's put you on the permanent naughty list. 82 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:24.199 That's basically what happened. 83 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.879 It's the journalist's fault for witnessing the text, and here 84 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.560 we are. I should have known better. But the good 85 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.959 news is this, we have hired the best to get 86 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:43.480 to the bottom of what just happened, Walt said in 87 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.600 an interview with Fox News, is Laura Ingram. It's embarrassing. Yes, 88 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.120 we're going to get to the bottom of it. And 89 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.639 he has consulted with Elon Musk so the guy whose 90 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.399 cars are glued together and the glue is falling off, 91 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.759 and they've been recalled. 92 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:00.360 He claimed. 93 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.000 Elon Musk is the best technical minds looking at how 94 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.399 this happened. Walls did say it wasn't a staffer. He 95 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.839 takes full responsibility. He built the group. His job is 96 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.839 to make sure that everything was coordinated. But that journalist 97 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.120 is is low rent for that magazine that is that 98 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.000 is barely paying their bills. So there we are. I 99 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.480 should have known better. If anybody gets fired in this 100 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.879 whole deal, it's probably going to be the Atlantic journalist Amy. 101 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.800 I think he's the editor in chief, So isn't he fired? 102 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.000 Okay, well, it was a teaching moment, at least that's 103 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.040 according to President Trump, who's standing by his National security 104 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.120 visor Mike Walls. Of course, as we're just hearing, they 105 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.160 got on that signal messaging app and Trump said, you know, 106 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.199 Michael Walls has learned a lesson and he's a good man. 107 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.360 And then he also said that Jeffrey Goldberg's presence in 108 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.639 the chat had no impact on the military operation. And 109 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.920 you know, you're saying that Michael Walls invited him. Trump 110 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.199 said yesterday that it was one of Michael's people on 111 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.480 the phone that invited him. 112 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.079 The staffer had the number. 113 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.360 But he told Laura Ingram it was not a staffer, 114 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:17.720 it was. 115 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.120 Him, because he's taking responsibility for us, right. Yeah. 116 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.040 Yeah, So we've got conflicting reports. 117 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.519 Now you've got the National Secure Advisor that is disagreeing 118 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:26.560 with the president. 119 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.759 Which, by the way, that's a good way for him 120 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.439 to lose his job. 121 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.000 That's it. 122 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.160 I told you, I'm not wrong yet, but it's possible 123 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.480 that somebody gets fired over this. And if he gets fired, 124 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.959 it's not because the journalist, that dastardly bastard who was 125 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.439 in the chat. It's not because he was there. It's 126 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.240 because Trump said the staffer did it as he was 127 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.519 trying to help his guy out, and the guy said, no, 128 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.399 I take full responsibility. And that is not going to stand. 129 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.879 We are not going to allow that happen. It is 130 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.680 interesting that Mike walls by zo admission invited this journalist 131 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.319 in that that journalist who had the audacity to witness something. Uh, 132 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.319 he invited the guy in. And Trump's response is, well, 133 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.399 you know, you know, sure there's classified information out there. Yeah, 134 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.160 we were sharing war plans. Sure, we were texting emojis 135 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.040 about killing people. But uh, and that may have been 136 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:19.519 a mistake. 137 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.959 But Mike Walls has learned a lesson and he's a 138 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:23.600 good man. 139 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.120 So hold on, hang on, I gotta grab this I 140 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.399 got I'm sorry, guys, I know this is really unprofessional. 141 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.120 I've just got a I got a phone call coming 142 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.319 in here. Let me just grab this. Hello. Oh it's 143 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:37.439 Tracey de Agua's. 144 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.800 Oh hang on, guys, I've got some Venezuelan gang members 145 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.120 on here. 146 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:46.199 What's up, fellas? Oh yeah, I could see the error 147 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:46.759 of your ways. 148 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.279 You learned a lesson. Well you can stay, it's not 149 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.279 let's get brunch. All right, Good talking to you too, Thanks, Pablo. 150 00:07:58.360 --> 00:07:59.079 We'll talk to you later. 151 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.680 Pal. All right, bye bye. Good news. 152 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.360 Amy King were able to apply the same logic to 153 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.040 other people. They've learned their lesson, and now they're leaving 154 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.759 the gang. Isn't that fun? Meanwhile, if we talk crime 155 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.480 and punishment a little bit closer to home, the new 156 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.560 District Attorney Nathan Hackman is going to allow prosecutors to 157 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.079 look at going after the death penalty in cases where 158 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:24.959 they would be eligible. 159 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.439 Again, not a big surprise. That was part of the 160 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:29.480 whole campaign. 161 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.240 When he was running against Gascon in twenty twenty three, 162 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.679 and he said, I'm burning back the death penalty, baby, 163 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.320 and you can use the death penalty if the. 164 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.440 Accused is. 165 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.519 Facing murder charges with special circumstances. And I've got more 166 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.320 on this coming up here at seven o'clock. I think 167 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.559 he used, for example, if we saw something like the 168 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.159 Sandy Hook Elementary School, a shooting happened in California, then 169 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.200 we would want to be able to seek the death penalty. 170 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.159 Interesting about this, though, is that Newsom still has. 171 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.120 A moratorium on the death penalty, So it sounds like 172 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.720 what we would be doing is we would be putting 173 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:12.919 the death row back on the list of potential punishments, 174 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.759 not necessarily the death penalty. So different housing unit is 175 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.039 how that all breaks down. We are broke in La Amy. 176 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.320 I know you were talking about the mayor says we 177 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.360 got to have some more money. And it's not like 178 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.399 she wants to just get an advance on her allowance either. 179 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.480 We're talking big bucks here. 180 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.120 Well, and when you need a billion, why not ask 181 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.919 for two? As we've been telling you on KFI, the 182 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.039 city is facing a billion dollars shortfall in its budget 183 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:46.159 this coming year. So Bass and some other area lawmakers 184 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.480 went up to Sacramento to talk to the governor and 185 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.440 other leaders and said, can we have two billion? 186 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.200 Oh? 187 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.759 Well that's nice. Okay, well that's negotiating. 188 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.720 Oh is that ask for more? 189 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.519 Yeah, you ask for more than you need. 190 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:04.559 And then when they go, we can't give you two billion, 191 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.320 but we could give you one billion, and you go. 192 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.360 Okay, that might be a good tactic. 193 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.879 Yeah. 194 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.480 This is like, Uh, my wife needed a new car, 195 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.600 right and uh and and my wife says, I need 196 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:18.720 a Masarati. 197 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.320 And I said, well, we don't have the money for masarati. 198 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.000 You can't have masara. 199 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.320 She says, I need a Maserati. Don't you love me? 200 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.159 And I said, well, I mean I'd love a Masarati, 201 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.759 but we just don't have the money. And so then 202 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.279 she says, fine, I'll take a Beamer And I said 203 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.360 I was thinking more like a Ford, and she said 204 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.360 I already am not getting my Masarati. So then we 205 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.240 compromise on the Beamer, and and everybody's happy. See see, 206 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.039 I feel like I saved money, and she feels like 207 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.720 she got the car she actually wanted because she just 208 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.519 wanted the beamer to start with, and yeah, everybody wins. 209 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.240 That's that's negotiating. It's called the Art of the Deal, 210 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.519 Amy King. That's how that works. Speaking of which, speak 211 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:00.960 of the Art of the the guy that wrote the 212 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.519 Art of the Deal is no longer wheeling a deal 213 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.320 in because he's got the pen that signs off on 214 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.639 executive orders. Unless you're Joe Biden, then you use autopen 215 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.600 Trump is not an executive order seeking to boost proof 216 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.039 of citizenship requirements for voter registration. Now, this has been 217 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.679 an ongoing issue in a number of different states. Blue 218 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.399 states say, wait a minute, this is going to disenfranchise 219 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.559 people who don't have ID, poor people, older voters, they 220 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.480 don't have their citizenship documents, people who don't have their 221 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.639 birth certificates or their passports or whatever else. 222 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.320 This is not going to work. 223 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.679 And then you've got the red states that say you 224 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.639 have to do this because we have widespread voter fraud. 225 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.240 We don't. But even if we don't have it, because 226 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:51.080 we don't it could lead to widespread voter fraud. We've 227 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.039 got to be able to prove citizenship, and it has 228 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.480 to be citizenship that I. 229 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.759 Approve is proof. 230 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.559 I wonder if the real ID will out as a 231 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.720 proof of citizenship because we're all supposed to have that 232 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.840 real ID, which is supposed to be an enhanced version 233 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.720 of identification. Right, do we still have to come up 234 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.639 with birth certificates and passports? 235 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.480 I mean I had to dig up. 236 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:17.799 When I first moved to California in twenty twelve, I 237 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.440 had I had been to a number of different states 238 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.000 because radio, and if you're in radio long enough, you 239 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.120 get fired from all over the country. So I was 240 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:29.480 able to get fired in Michigan, in Arizona, in Colorado, 241 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.600 in Nebraska, in Kansas. 242 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.120 I didn't really get fired. I kind of moved up 243 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:36.559 the ladder. 244 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.399 And so I go to California and I've got my 245 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.320 driver's license from my last stop, which was in Kansas, 246 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.960 And I said, I need a California driver's license, and 247 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.559 they said, well, we have to have your birth certificate. 248 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.960 I went, but I've got a I mean, I've got 249 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.480 a legit driver's license from a US state. I mean, 250 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.279 do you really need my birth certificate? Listen, yeah, we 251 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.799 gotta have your original birth certificate. So I had to 252 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.159 call my mother and she said, I said, Mom, I 253 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.120 need my birth certificate. Any what my mother said what. 254 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.159 I said, I need my birth certificate and she said what, 255 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.080 I need my birth certificate? 256 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.519 She goes, oh, no, And I said, Mom, do you 257 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.720 have the birth certificate? She said yes? And I said, 258 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.440 I need that. 259 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.480 So I can get my driver's license and get reistered 260 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.519 to vote in California. She said no, I'd like to 261 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:27.559 hang on to it. I had to pay whatever it was, 262 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.039 forty bucks to the the the Department of Proof of 263 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.080 who you are is in order to get a copy 264 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.240 of an authentic, original per certificate from my hometown which 265 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.759 I hadn't lived in in you know, twenty years. 266 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.519 Or something, and have that sense so I could get 267 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.600 my my driver's license. 268 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.759 So if I have a driver's license that required a 269 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.679 proof of citizenship a birth certificate, don't you think the 270 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:51.840 driver's license should count? 271 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:53.279 I don't know. If I don't know, if it means 272 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.480 we have to. 273 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.200 Carry our birth certificates with us everywhere we go feels 274 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.399 an awful lot, like show me your papers? 275 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.360 How dare you? You can't say that. You can't say, 276 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.480 show me your papers? 277 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.120 It is interesting, though, I'm saying one one quick, one 278 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.480 more quick one amy, and that is there are states 279 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.360 that have citizenship requirements for voting, you know, ID requirements 280 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.240 for voting in state elections, but they they until now. Now, 281 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.559 of course President Trump has signed this executive order, but 282 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.679 they couldn't enforce those on the federal elections. So you 283 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.039 might not be able to vote in a certain state 284 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.679 unless you show your ID, but you could still vote 285 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.240 on the federal elections if you showed your ID. You 286 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.679 couldn't vote for Dogcatcher because you weren't legitimate, but you 287 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.639 could vote for president. 288 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.039 So there you go. Okay, back to you know who. 289 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.000 Is going to do the jobs if all the illegal 290 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:53.360 immigrants are gone? Well, Florida has been enforcing illegal immigration 291 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.039 laws for quite some time and that has presented a 292 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:01.600 problem for businesses, and that is filling low wage jobs. 293 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:07.919 So the state's legislature, we'll be talking about a bill 294 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.039 to loosen child labor laws. It would allow kids as 295 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.200 young as fourteen to work overnight shifts. Hey, you know what, 296 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.759 when I was a teenager, we all worked, and the 297 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.679 kids worked overnight shifts. 298 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.679 I don't know if they did. Okay, So I grew 299 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.879 up in Medford. 300 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.120 Oregon, and it's a nice place to be. 301 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.159 It is a nice place to be but and we're 302 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.600 known for pears. Harry and David is out of there. 303 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.720 And so like all the boys from high school. I 304 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.240 don't know any girls who did it, but all the 305 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.000 boys they would go out and they would do something 306 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.639 called smudging overnight, and that's when they would fire up 307 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.600 these smudge pots to warm up the orchards when it 308 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:51.120 was really cold at night, so that the spirits it 309 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.559 so they wouldn't freeze, and so they would to get 310 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.960 pears and get the fruit. 311 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.200 But like tons of kids did it. 312 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.519 Yeah, and that was all they'd run those smudge pots over. 313 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.120 That's yeah, fast, it was overnight. 314 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.600 You could always tell the ones who did because they 315 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.279 were all asleep in class the next day. 316 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.639 Yeah, well that's fascinating. Yeah, but you said that they 317 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.039 were high school, right, so. 318 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.080 We were talking about high school. 319 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.159 Yeah, okay, fourteen may be a bit young, a little young, 320 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.919 a little bit young, and that's for overnight shifts, and 321 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.000 they'd be able to work them on school days. So 322 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:28.720 right now, kids can't work any earlier than six thirty 323 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.000 am or later than eleven pm. 324 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.039 One of the guys that slept through class doing now, 325 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:34.519 because I can tell you they're not doing a wake 326 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.960 up call in Los Angeles. 327 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.120 M they're probably getting sleep. Finally catching up, Yeah, finally 328 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.559 catching up. 329 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.720 Yeah, I think we had to. 330 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.000 I worked as a dishwasher in high school, dishwasher, and 331 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.279 then I moved my way up to you know, salad 332 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.360 bar attendant motion. 333 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.879 I don't want to brag. 334 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.159 Did you work at a fast food place? 335 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:56.799 Listen? 336 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.759 I worked at a classy family restaurant, all right, Hooters, 337 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.919 but it was it was classy just the same. 338 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.799 But we had to on school nights. 339 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.799 I think it was ten o'clock we had to take 340 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.640 off because you know, the restaurant didn't close until nine 341 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.359 or ten o'clock, and so there was everybody that was 342 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.119 out of school that had to stay to wash dishes, 343 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.279 and the rest of us were like, we're out of here, gotta. 344 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:21.519 Go home by ten. That was the rule. 345 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.240 So but we didn't have any smudging, which is a tragedy. 346 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.880 So weird for it, right, I kind of love it though. 347 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.440 I kind of loved that little Amy King origin story tidbit. 348 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.759 Thank you for sharing that. I love that I do 349 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:42.240 all right. For older generations, they were worried about asbestos, 350 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.319 and then we were worried about lead, and now the 351 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:52.400 new thing is microplastics and forever chemicals. And if you 352 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.279 are someone who keeps your chewing gum on the bedpost overnight, 353 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.759 bad news. It is full of microplastics and all of 354 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.279 your chewing gum is probably going to kill you. 355 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:05.160 So there we are. 356 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.920 The chewing gum, just one piece can release hundreds to 357 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.920 thousands of microplastics into saliva. Study is being a peer 358 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:18.480 reviewed and are going to be presented in San Diago. 359 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.400 Once the review is complete. The authors hope the report 360 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.920 is going to be published in the Journal of Hazardous 361 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.759 Materials Letters later this year. Of course, most of you 362 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.720 are subscribers to the Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, so 363 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.680 you will see that come out in your inbox. 364 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:32.640 They said. 365 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.839 According to the senior study author, our goal is not 366 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.960 to alarm anybody. 367 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.519 It's to get clicks. Oh sorry, I added. 368 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.200 That last part, saying scientists don't know if microplastics are 369 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.480 unsafe to us or not. There are no human trials, 370 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.119 but we know we are exposed to plastics in everyday life, 371 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.160 and that's what we wanted to examine here. So microplastics 372 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.599 are teeny many fragments of polymers. They are incredibly small 373 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.599 and the plastics that are even smaller than one micrometer 374 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:08.480 are considered nanoplastics. So you thought microplastics were bad, amy, 375 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.359 wait until you find out you've got nanoplastics. 376 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.559 I think it's funny that they say they aren't doing 377 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.079 any trials or testing. Aren't we all kind of in 378 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:20.680 a big Petri dish test? Yes, if we've got microplastics 379 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.440 in our brains, I mean they're everywhere in our bodies. 380 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.119 You thought the American governmental democracy was the great experiment, 381 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.720 The real great experiment is all the crap that we 382 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.119 continually expose to ourselves, and just to see what it's 383 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.400 we are unwitting guinea pigs in the world we live in. 384 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.839 That's it. We're total guinea pigs. Okay, so trying to 385 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:44.240 get off. 386 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.039 This rock, Well, the people who did get off the 387 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.519 rock are kind of guinea pigs too. Did you know 388 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.400 there is such a thing as being too clean? They're 389 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.319 finding this out. Researchers say that the astronauts on the 390 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:05.640 International Space Station have been plagued with rashes, unusual allergies, infections, fungus, 391 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:10.519 cold sores, shingles, and why because there aren't enough germs 392 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.880 on the International Space station. You know how they say 393 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.880 that if you use like too much like antibacterial stuff, 394 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.119 you kill all the germs on you, and then it 395 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.720 makes and it makes you susceptible because you're not exposed 396 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.319 to the germs. Right, So they say that when they 397 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.759 go up, they do have some you know, germs on 398 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:34.799 their bodies, but they're not exposed to beneficial microbes from 399 00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.720 places like soil, healthy animals, healthy plants, and so their 400 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.319 immune systems are getting messed up. 401 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.079
