7
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 3>We're going to go straight to an update on the

8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Franklin Fire out of Malibu, four thy thirty seven acres.

9
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 4>They just said it's at twenty percent containment as of that.

10
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Of the areas, and that's strictly due to the successful

11
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 5>efforts of all agency personnel working collaboratively together to start

12
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 5>bringing containment and make sure the areas are safe.

13
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 4>Some areas around the fire are.

14
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Still going to still remain in evacuation orders and warnings.

15
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 5>It is our number one priority to get residents back

16
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 5>into their homes and to their communities. However, we have

17
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 5>to make sure it's safe to do so. The team

18
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 5>behind me and the multiple firefighters that are out and

19
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 5>agencies on this incident are constantly and striving to get

20
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 5>you in back into your communities as quickly as possible.

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 5>But this is a multi agency approach and we do

22
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 5>need to make sure that the area is safe prior

23
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 5>to anybody re entering the area. We need to ensure

24
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 5>that we have the first responder safety along with safety

25
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 5>for the residents. As we go through the next couple

26
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 5>of days, we'll continue to work on reopening additional areas

27
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 5>as it is safe and it's been extinguished and checked

28
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 5>to make sure it's safe for the public to return.

29
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

30
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I was a LA County Assistant Chief Dusty Martin. There

31
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 3>again an update on the Franklin fire burnout and out everyone.

32
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 6>My name is Deputy Fire Chief of Lenny Pappus. I'm

33
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 6>with Los Angeles County Fire Department and I'm one of

34
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 6>the ICs along with Chief Martin. I'd like to just

35
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 6>say let you know there was a valiant effort amongst

36
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 6>the firefighters in this first thirty six to forty eight hours.

37
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 6>It was an incredible show of commitment that contained the

38
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 6>fire to the footprint you see today. I'd like to

39
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 6>say that we have done in assess of the structures

40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 6>within the fire footprint. Roughly seventy six hundred structures are

41
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 6>in the fire footprint. Fifty six hundred are single family

42
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 6>dwellings their homes. Out of those, fifty six hundred homes

43
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 6>that we believe. Right now, we've only done twenty five

44
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 6>percent full assessment of the area. Four homes have been destroyed,

45
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 6>six homes have been damaged, and we are reporting five

46
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 6>outbuildings or smaller structures like sheds and things like that

47
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 6>that have been destroyed. So we have a total of

48
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 6>nine structures destroyed and four damage. Again, that's only twenty

49
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 6>five percent of the total assessment. As we get a

50
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 6>better handle around this fire, will get better clarity, we'll

51
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 6>be able to complete an assessment of all of our

52
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 6>structures and get a final report. We just want to

53
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 6>assure everyone that La County Fire and our partners with

54
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 6>cal Fire and all of our unified command and supporting

55
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 6>agencies that we will be there to help get our people,

56
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 6>get the residents and the communities back into their homes,

57
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 6>and we will be there to help with support. So

58
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 6>thank you again and we are looking forward to getting

59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 6>everyone back home safely.

60
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you well.

61
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>We're getting this update out of out of Malibu again

62
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 3>with a Franklin fire. The assistant chief said that the

63
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 3>acreage held at four thousand and thirty seven and as

64
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>of right now, they have been able to cut a

65
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 3>lot more containment line around. It stands at twenty percent contained.

66
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 3>And as the other assistant chief there was saying nine

67
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 3>structures destroyed, and they said four of those were homes.

68
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>So in the context of other massive fires that have

69
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 3>blown through Malibu in the last couple of decades, this

70
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 3>is actually pretty They got pretty lucky with this one

71
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 3>in that the wind event that we saw when Monday

72
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 3>night into Tuesday, which really blew this thing pretty quickly,

73
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>then has slowed down significantly, and there is a chance

74
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 3>of some showers over the couple next couple of hours.

75
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they started in northern California this morning and they're

76
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>moving down the coast. They say that into the afternoon,

77
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in the evening, we're going to have the clouds that

78
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing now, and then the chance of rain in

79
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the mountain and foothill areas.

80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>So relatively good news. But what else is going on?

81
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 7>Time four?

82
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 4>What's happening?

83
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Stay away, water damage, fire damage, Burglary called public adjuster

84
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and their death eight one, eight, nine, seven, five, five six.

85
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Stay away from the what the pink cocaine?

86
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 4>We did that already.

87
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Stay away from all the cocaine.

88
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't do drugs anymore kids they put stuff in it,

89
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>they will kill you.

90
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 3>And if they're trying to market it with fancy colors,

91
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's even worse.

92
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Stick to Core's light, like our friends said earlier, will

93
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>never lead you astray.

94
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Unless you have twelve it's easy to do.

95
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the pink cocaine, it's making its way into the

96
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>LA drug already seen.

97
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>It's a mix of ketamine, molly, opioids, even some new

98
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 3>psychoactive substances. There's too many ingredients for me, just a

99
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 3>sweet smelling powder that triggers hallucinogenic effects. The head of

100
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 3>the UCLA Police Department, John Thomas, has stepped down because

101
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 3>of criticism of the security lapses during protests on campus

102
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>earlier this year. A social media post the Police Department

103
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of UCLA said that Thomas's last day was Tuesday, did

104
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 3>not specify what prompted the departure, whether this was a

105
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 3>mutual you quit or we will resign you kind of thing.

106
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 3>He was reassigned by the university in May after the

107
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 3>internal and external investigations into how the university handled those protests,

108
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 3>and to be honest, it was it seems from the

109
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 3>outside like the fact they let them happen in the

110
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 3>first place and get out of control.

111
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 4>It was the problem.

112
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 3>If they had clamped down on and followed their own

113
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 3>rules early on, this would not have been an issue.

114
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Mariah Carey will join Netflix's NFL Christmas Game Day. Mariah

115
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Carey will kick off its first ever NFL Christmas Game

116
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Day Live with a performance of.

117
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 2>What Sean do you think She's gonna sing? Just take a.

118
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Guess out of the entire catalog of Mariah Carey songs,

119
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>going back to emotions, sweet fantasy, sweet fantasy, that would

120
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>be fun. No, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, something about the Christmas We

121
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 1>belong together.

122
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>It is the Christmas one, the Christmas one. Yes, and

123
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>now you don't even want to say no.

124
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>It's just funny because like we're hit over the head

125
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 1>with this song every Christmas and now I can't remember

126
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 1>what the name.

127
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh all I want for Christmas?

128
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Is?

129
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>You right?

130
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a banger. It's a fun little He'll get you going,

131
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>He'll get you moving.

132
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 4>No one has ever said that about that song. It's

133
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>not a banger.

134
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think they have.

135
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>The website for LAX was down this morning because if

136
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 3>computer system issues now again, that's Lax theflylax dot com website.

137
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 3>If you have other problems or questions, you can always

138
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 3>ask your airline. But the Lax website was having some problems,

139
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.839
<v Speaker 3>so if you tried to get on there.

140
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 4>Are you singing over there?

141
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 7>Right?

142
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 4>You can still hear you.

143
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, A lot going on in Washington this week with

144
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the resignation of Christopher Ray. We've got Biden going nuts

145
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to pardoning people.

146
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 2>John Decker joins us.

147
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a White House correspondent, of course, a journalist, a lawyer,

148
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and the White House Press Corps probably the only one, right,

149
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I think so, John Joys correct, Very cool, John joins us, Now,

150
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of action over in your neck of the woods.

00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. Early this morning is when we got word of

152
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 7>these more than fifteen hundred commutations of sentences that President

153
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 7>Biden has delivered to individuals who are convicted of non

154
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 7>violent crimes thirty nine pardons as well. Today again individuals

155
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 7>who were convicted of non violent felonies and were serving

156
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 7>time in prison. So a little bit of an early

157
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.319
<v Speaker 7>Christmas president for those individuals.

158
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>How what's that process? How do these names get in

159
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.759
<v Speaker 3>front of the president or people who would then present

160
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>them to the president that would be possible for these

161
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 3>commutations and pardons.

162
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 7>It's a great question, and it's a question that the

163
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 7>White House Press Secretary did not provide any additional information

164
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 7>on today. There is an office within the White House

165
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 7>Council's Office that handles pardons, and there is a division

166
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 7>within the Justice Department that handles pardons. And it really

167
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 7>sometimes is all about who you know. And you think

168
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 7>about the last administration, former President Donald Trump. If you

169
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 7>knew Kim Kardashian and all sneeriousness, you could potentially get

170
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 7>a party because of the fact that the Trump White

171
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 7>House listened to her when she came forward and said,

172
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 7>I have some names of individuals that are deserving on

173
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 7>the second chance, deserving of a presidential pardon, or deserving

174
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 7>of having their sentence commuted. So it sometimes comes all

175
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 7>down to that. As you know, with the pardon of

176
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 7>the President's son, Hunter Biden, that was done outside of

177
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 7>the White House, that was done outside of the Department

178
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.480
<v Speaker 7>of Justice. That was a personal decision that was made

179
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 7>by President Biden.

180
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Now they say that.

181
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>These are nonviolent crimes, but when you get into what

182
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>nonviolent crimes are, you get into things like theft, arson, robbery, things,

183
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 1>that there are victims in these crimes.

184
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>They are not victimless crimes.

185
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>We never hear the details, though, of what these people

186
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>have done to get incarcerated. We only hear about the

187
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>good works that they've done post incarceration.

188
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 7>Well, in the case of the pardons, the White House

189
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 7>spelled out in the pardon information that was provided to

190
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 7>us the exact primes that these individuals were convicted of

191
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 7>in the first place, and the pardons are The language

192
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 7>is very simple as it relates to those thirty nine

193
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 7>individuals their pardon for the crimes that they were convicted of.

194
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 7>That is very different, by the way, from the language

195
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 7>that was used in the pardon of Hunter Biden. It

196
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 7>was a blanket pardon, a very unusual pardon because it

197
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 7>covered eleven full years essentially any activity Hunter Biden was

198
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 7>involved in over this course of an eleven year period

199
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 7>from January one, twenty fourteen, through December first of twenty

200
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 7>twenty four he was given a pardon for by his father,

201
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 7>the President.

202
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 3>The other big issue that happened yesterday was this announcement

203
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>that Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI, had been

204
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 3>telling other members of the FBI that he was in

205
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 3>fact going to step down as director before Trump comes

206
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 3>in to be inaugurated. We knew that that was likely,

207
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 3>or that something like that was going to happen. But

208
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.879
<v Speaker 3>what was this much of a surprise And does it

209
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 3>change anything about what goes on with the FBI between

210
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 3>now and the potential that Cash Pattel becomes the new director.

211
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 7>Well, there's a deputy director of the FBI who becomes

212
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 7>interim director for the short period of time between the

213
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 7>time that Christopher Ray leaves his position as director of

214
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 7>the FBI and the period in which a new director,

215
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 7>potentially Cash Battel, is confirmed by the US Senate. It

216
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 7>wasn't a huge surprise given the fact that in late

217
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 7>November Donald Trump made it clear that he wanted Cash Battel,

218
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 7>a loyalist, someone who's served in his first administration, to

219
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 7>serve as the next FBI director. The writing was on

220
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 7>the wall for Christopher Ray that Donald Trump did not

221
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 7>want him serving in that role. And when you're the

222
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.039
<v Speaker 7>FBI director, you serve at the pleasure of the president.

223
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 7>And I think that Christopherray recognized that, and that's the

224
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 7>reason why he told those staff members at the FBI

225
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 7>yesterday at FBI headquarters that he intends to step down

226
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 7>before Donald Trump is sworn in as America's forty seventh president.

227
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And then the timetable for all of these confirmations. How

228
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>does that work?

229
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 7>Well, when the one hundred and nineteenth Congress is sworn in,

230
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 7>for both the House and the Senate, they can begin

231
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 7>that confirmation process, including hearings, so that all will take

232
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 7>place in the first week in January when the new

233
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 7>Senate is sworn in, and in the case of cash Gettel,

234
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 7>his confirmation hearing, just like the hearing for President Elect

235
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.720
<v Speaker 7>Trump's pick to be the Attorney General, will take place

236
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 7>before the Senate Judiciary Committee. So the Judiciary Comittee will

237
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 7>handle both of their confirmation hearings, and then the full

238
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 7>Senate would vote on their confirmations. By the way, all

239
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 7>of that could take place before Donald Trump is sworn

240
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 7>into office, so he could have some of his cabinet

241
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 7>all ready to go on January twentieth, ready to carry

242
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 7>out whatever direct is he gives them.

243
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Here's a question I've never thought of. Is there a

244
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 3>priority list or a priority order for the Senate to

245
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>go through these different nominations.

246
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.639
<v Speaker 7>Well, It's an interesting question. But what happens is various

247
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 7>Senate committees do their confirmation process simultaneously. So, for instance,

248
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 7>the Senate Armed Services Committee will do their confirmation process

249
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 7>for Donald Trump's pick to be the next Defense Secretary,

250
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 7>Pete Hegseath, at the same time that the Judiciary Committee

251
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 7>is doing their confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, the former

252
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.120
<v Speaker 7>Florida Attorney General, to be the next Attorney General. Wow.

253
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, excellent, great, John, Thanks so much. I hope you

254
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 1>are successful in evading that arrest.

255
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 7>That wasn't for me.

256
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's what they all say, John, That's what they all.

257
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.799
<v Speaker 4>We will pardon you, especially in DC.

258
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, we've got squirting cucumbers, We've got the age

259
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 1>old moving, the sofa problem, a deep sea predator named Darkness.

260
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 2>It's time for strange.

261
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 4>Science, strange sens It's like weird science, but strange.

262
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 1>So squirting cucumbers blast their seeds over distances hundreds of

263
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 1>times their length, and now scientists know how the plants

264
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 1>do it. It's a hairy green fruit measures about four

265
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>centimeters long, and the it's a It's a member of

266
00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:00.159
<v Speaker 1>the Gordon family, relative of a zucchini, squash, and pumpkins,

267
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>but their seed jets are unique in the group. Why

268
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.399
<v Speaker 1>do you have your hands over your eyes just trying.

269
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.919
<v Speaker 4>To prevent everything that's about to happen.

270
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>It's very rare among plants.

271
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>The ancient Roman naturist Pliny the Elder, was the first

272
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to describe squirting cucumbers, warning that yeah, I can't, I

273
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>mean I can't, but anyway, it's all about survival. It's

274
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>related to bottom line this one.

275
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 3>So these seeds then go and implant somewhere else and

276
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.759
<v Speaker 3>become new cucumbers. Right, it's more the complex than just

277
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.200
<v Speaker 3>a simple buildup of liquid and the release of internal

278
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 3>pressure along with cucumber and and what, I don't think

279
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 3>i've ever seen that word in print before?

280
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 4>Where is it? And gorgement? Ah?

281
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Is this a joke?

282
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.519
<v Speaker 4>It might be, but it is CNN, so I don't know.

283
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I think joked us into doing that story.

284
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Mathematicians aren't usually the first point of call when you

285
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 3>need to move a couch, But if you've ever seen

286
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 3>that classic Friends episode where they're trying to move the

287
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 3>couch up through the stairs.

288
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>We've ever done there.

289
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 3>The combinatorics and geometry enthusiast Genon Bake from Yonsai University

290
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 3>in Korea just put out one hundred page proof on

291
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:40.039
<v Speaker 3>the problem of moving a couch around a tight corner

292
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:46.159
<v Speaker 3>in your apartment. A Canadian Australian mathematician formed a formalized

293
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 3>a problem back in nineteen sixty six plaguing humanity ever

294
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 3>since we had couches, which was basically, what's the largest

295
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>two dimensional object that can successfully make it around an

296
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 3>L shaped corner.

297
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Some people really have an eye for this that have

298
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>no math skills, just have that natural eye for how

299
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 1>to fit something in somewhere. Right, Yeah, when it comes

300
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 1>to moving or all of it.

301
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 3>It's very very funny because they talk about the upper

302
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.559
<v Speaker 3>limit for the design. When you look at all of

303
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 3>this in terms of the two point two zero seven

304
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 3>to four units in area and nothing larger than two

305
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 3>point eight two eight now somewhere mathematicians are like, yeah,

306
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 3>that's exactly what we've been saying for years, but that

307
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 3>there are people who design furniture look at you, Ikea,

308
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 3>and they know this type of formula that exists so

309
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 3>that people do not have to take apart their furniture

310
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 3>once they put it together. Because you know, if you

311
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.799
<v Speaker 3>take it apart, it will never go back together the

312
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 3>way you want it.

313
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Researchers have claimed that Mary Magdalen has been hiding in

314
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Michaelangelo's sixteen Chapel masterpiece for nearly five hundred years. There's

315
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 1>an Italian art restorer named Sarah Sarah Penco who's publishing

316
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.599
<v Speaker 1>this biblical bombshell in her book Mary Magdalene in Michelangelo's Judgment.

317
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 1>She specializes in Renaissance and broke art. She announced, I

318
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>am firmly convinced that this is Mary Magdalene. It's a

319
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>figure in the right hand corner of the Last Judgment,

320
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, the legendary depiction of the second Coming of Christ,

321
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>God's final judgment. It was painted at the Sistine Chapel

322
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>between fifteen thirty seven and fifteen thirty one.

323
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.839
<v Speaker 4>Now why would this be so crazy? I mean, why

324
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 4>is this such a She's.

325
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 2>A controversial figure in the church.

326
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Mary Magdalen. Yeah, oh, oh, so he would have

327
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 3>snuck it in without the blessing, without the blessing of

328
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 3>the Vatican.

329
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how that all works, but anyway, She's

330
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.599
<v Speaker 1>a blonde woman seen kissing across toted by a nude

331
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 1>man who's believed to be Jesus, well camouflaged among the

332
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>other three hundred figures in the Magnum opus.

333
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the cross bearer, that would be again this naked

334
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 3>we believe Jesus in the director is looking in the

335
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 3>direction of Mary Magdalene as if it is as if

336
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 3>he is estranged from the composition, looking towards the woman

337
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 3>peacefully holding the wood and the cross. Obviously, he knew

338
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot about the Bible and would not have left

339
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 3>such an integral figure out of that scene. And again she.

340
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Later thought that the the.

341
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 3>That when you look at it, that something might have

342
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.440
<v Speaker 3>been missing, said Michael Angelo. Angelo is an expert painter

343
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.279
<v Speaker 3>who's very cultured. He was someone who knew the dynamics

344
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 3>of the church very well and knew the gospels. And

345
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 3>he could not have forgotten her, but may have had

346
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.559
<v Speaker 3>a little trouble if he had asked permission to put

347
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 3>her in. Right, he was going to apologize, you know,

348
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 3>seven hundred years later. Right, It's not the only Easter

349
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.319
<v Speaker 3>egg hidden. New research suggests that Michael Angelo had etched

350
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.240
<v Speaker 3>a woman battle breast cancer into one of the Sistine

351
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 3>Chapel ceiling frescoes.

352
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

353
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 3>And then finally this disgusting creature about seven miles beneath

354
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 3>the surface, terrifying. The pressure down there is about one

355
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 3>thousand atmosphere's worth sixteen thousand pounds per square inch. Despite

356
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>all of that, there is something that lives down there,

357
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 3>a ghostly predator from the Ata Kama Trench off South

358
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 3>America's western coast. It's named doulce Bela Kamanchaka. The creature

359
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.000
<v Speaker 3>is an amphipod, a group of shrimp like crustaceans that

360
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.359
<v Speaker 3>eat detritis and scavenge for food. They said this thing,

361
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.400
<v Speaker 3>they found four individuals from this species at a depth

362
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 3>of seven nine hundred meters.

363
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 2>It should stay down there.

364
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's a reason why they're calling it darkness, because

365
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 3>it is an absolute view into the devil's hell.

366
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 4>Gross, I think.

367
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm having a sugar come down.

368
