Of course I wish my 5 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.559 brother a happy birthday, and he doesn't even listen. She 6 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.440 listens every days and I forgot to mention her yesterday. 7 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.039 So sorry about that, Casey.

I okay, 10 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.920 so here's the latest. I ran out of the free 11 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.039 trial and it keeps going, Oh, you you're going to 12 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.200 run out of the recording where you can play back 13 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.240 the videos for and you know, forever. And I'm like, well, 14 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.039 do I really need that? Do I have to pay 15 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.479 for a subscription or can I just you know, have 16 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.960 the alerts of somebody's at the front door. So I'm 17 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.240 holding off. I'm paying for the subscription. I have enough subscriptions. 18 00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:01.280 But you know what hasn't stopped the messages. Anyone see 19 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.560 these lights last night freeway north of Highland going towards Universal. 20 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.840 What are they? Ooh, there's a helicopter flying around right now. 21 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.799 Any idea what's going on besides drones? Anybody know of 22 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.239 any mobile pet grooming in downtown La Hey? Did you 23 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.040 see the lights on the night sky? Oh? Spotted a 24 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.519 very friendly black cat in Echo Park. 25 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.280 It's worth worse the next door. 26 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.920 Oh my gosh, it's hysterical. Oh there's another helicopter in 27 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.840 Eagle Rock circling what seems to be the new car wash. 28 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.040 Oh no, oh, found a dog on Normandy. I mean, like, 29 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.480 it's crazy, so there's got to be a way to 30 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.120 turn it off. There is, but now it's become sort 31 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.799 of a thing that I think it's funny, so I 32 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.159 just leave it on. Okay, here's what's a head on 33 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.760 wake up call. The rebuilding process has officially begun for 34 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.319 the first of more than nine thousand homes and other 35 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.840 buildings burned in Altadena. Homeowner Margot Stuber was joined by 36 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.719 County Supervisor Catherine Barger yesterday for the groundbreaking. Stuper says 37 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959 she's hoping to be able to move into her new 38 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.599 home in January. Thousands of La County workers have walked 39 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.039 off the job for a forty eight hour strike. The 40 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.919 union claims the county is spending two hundred five million 41 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.120 dollars on things like office space and a skyscraper in downtown, 42 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.960 while insisting there's no money to give employees a raise. 43 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.960 A bill has been introduced in Sacramento to make the 44 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.719 Internet more affordable. It aims to require providers to offer 45 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.080 plans for no more than fifteen bucks a month, and 46 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.479 that's for people who qualify for cal fresh or medical. 47 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.080 Estimates are that more than three million people don't have 48 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.400 reliable access to high speed internet. Well, it's all about 49 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.639 the first one hundred days. We're going to take a 50 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.240 quick look back and recap what President Trump has done 51 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.479 since taking office with ABC's Karen Travers in about two minutes, 52 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.080 and then at five point twenty, the Borders are had 53 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.479 some choice words about the past administration's border stance. ABC's 54 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.879 bar is going to join us to talk about Tom 55 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.520 Holman's continued tough stance on illegal border crossings. Just after 56 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.479 five thirty, ABC Stephen Portnoy joins it. He's got the 57 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.960 results of a brand new poll about how people in 58 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.639 America feel about, you know, things like taking over Greenland 59 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.960 and annexing Canada And how about an ev for twenty 60 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.800 thousand dollars. A host of how to money on KFI. 61 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.400 Joel Larsgaard says one is about to hit the market, 62 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.840 and also how saving a little bit goes a long 63 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.759 way and predicting your financial well being in the future. 64 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.039 Definitely tuning in for that. 65 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:23.879 I have to. 66 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.400 I'll be talking to him anyway. Let's get started with 67 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.159 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 68 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.039 four hour newsroom. La County supervisors are considering an ordinance 69 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.479 to allow for fire debris cleanup at properties where the 70 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.879 owners have failed to opt in to have the government 71 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.159 do it and haven't hired their own private contractor. The 72 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.400 removal work has to be done by June thirty if 73 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.919 if the ordinances approved, properties that haven't been cleared by 74 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.240 that date will be declared a public nuisance and a 75 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.000 health hazard, and if the county then clears the debris, 76 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.280 the property owner will get the bill. The ATF is 77 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.520 doing a controlled burn in Pacific Palisades to try to 78 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.879 figure out how the massive wildfire started in January. 79 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.680 The burn will be conducted along the Tamescal Ridge trail 80 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.800 between Skull Rock and Green Peak, near where the initial 81 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.319 fire is believed to have started. The Los Angeles Fire 82 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.639 Department will have firefighters on hand to protect public safety 83 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.160 and the environment during the burn. 84 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.879 Kay if i's Daniel Martindale says the burn is said 85 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.480 to be done tonight. Between tonight and Thursday, detectives have 86 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.160 released images of a man who sexually assaulted a woman 87 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.720 on a metro bus in East Hollywood. Laped says it 88 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.639 happened shortly before ten pm on April twelfth, near Sunset 89 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.519 Boulevard and Vermont Avenue. The man sat next to the 90 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.079 woman and pulled a knife on her. He then assaulted 91 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:40.920 her after she told him she didn't have any money. 92 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.279 Then he got off the bus and ran off toward 93 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.160 Fortieth Place. A bear has broken into an ice cream 94 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.639 shop near Lake Tahoe and made off with a tasty treat. 95 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.279 The owner of Tahoe Time ice Cream and Coffee shop 96 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.680 says she and her crew went on a lunch break Sunday, 97 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.160 and when they returned, they found a trash can had 98 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.120 been knocked over, the ice cream freezer was open, and 99 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.079 a three gallon tub of chocolate chip cookie ice cream 100 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.720 was gone. They say the barry even tried to get 101 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.879 back inside to get more. It's five oh seven on 102 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.959 your Tuesday morning wake up call. Let's say good morning 103 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.839 now to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, the first hundred 104 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.959 days been anything but boring. So let's take a quick 105 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.920 look back at what he's done and what the President 106 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.680 hasn't done in the first one hundred Yeah. 107 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.439 I mean what he has done is came in promising 108 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.959 swift change, and he has really relied on executive actions 109 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.639 to move his agenda forward. He's signed more than one 110 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.800 hundred and forty executive orders since January twentieth, according to 111 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.759 the Federal Register, and has really leaned on that to 112 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.879 try to get things done. And that's what the administration 113 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.040 will point to. He's taken swift action on immigration ice 114 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.759 raids across the country. The Department of Homeland Security says 115 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.800 there have been one hundred and fifty thousand deportations so far. 116 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.519 On tariffs, I think that's the big thing, the big 117 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.600 action on the economy, the sweeping set of tariffs that 118 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.920 he announced on nearly ninety countries, most on pause right 119 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.480 now after the stock market took a significant nose dive, 120 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.240 but the President told me ten days ago that they 121 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.360 will go back into effect if there are not trade 122 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.360 deals reached at the end of this pause, and notably, 123 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.560 poll after poll over the last several days have shown 124 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.040 Americans are not feeling great about the economy. Seventy three 125 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.240 percent in our polls that it's in bad shape right now, 126 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.120 fifty three percent gotten worse since he took office, and 127 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.079 really all of the underlying reasons for that is the 128 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.639 tariffs and the trade war right now that are happening, 129 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.360 which I ama, okay, and. 130 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.240 What the tariffs being the main sticking point as you mentioned, 131 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.000 are there are there any things that are getting a 132 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.240 good response from the public, you know. 133 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.560 In terms of the polls right now. You know, when 134 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.240 you look at it, forty six percent approve of the 135 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.839 president's immigration policies. That was obviously a big thing that 136 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.600 he talked about as a candidate, people like that when 137 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.519 he was on the campaign trail. But notably forty eight 138 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.439 percent say that the actions supporting undo undocumented migrants have 139 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.279 gone too far. You know, we might have talked about 140 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.839 this earlier too, that you know, his approval rating right 141 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.240 now is that just thirty nine percent. That is the 142 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.120 lowest at one hundred days mark for any president over 143 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.000 eighty years since we've been doing this polling and was. 144 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.120 Thirty nine percent. Sounds kind of familiar. Is that kind 145 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.319 of where he hovered during his first presidency. 146 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.399 I have to go back and look and see I 147 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.879 think probably around that forty percent mark. But you know, 148 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.279 presidents tend to come in higher view. You just got elected, 149 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.439 so if you won the election, people might be feeling good. 150 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.040 It's striking to see kind of this sharp decline and really, 151 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.079 again just to underline some of those economic bullet points 152 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.920 in the poll, it is very interesting to see that 153 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.839 when you drill down in it why people are not 154 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.920 feeling good about the economy. What they're saying is the 155 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.399 reason that they don't think things are good right now 156 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.519 is specifically about the policies. You know, it's not some 157 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.920 outside force, it's not some global trend. They're saying it's 158 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.160 because of the administration's policies, specifically on trade. 159 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.439 Yeah, and I bet ABC has lots and lots of 160 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.160 questions for the president on how he thinks things are going. 161 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.959 And you guys get that opportunity, don't you. 162 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.439 Coming up in a couple of hours by colleague Terry 163 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.240 Moran will sit down with the president. You'll be able 164 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.120 to hear that. See that tonight in a big special, 165 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.160 but stay tuned for that. We're going to get quite 166 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.959 a bit of time with the president later this morning. 167 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.279 Awesome, Okay, Karen Travers, ABC News White House Correspondent, Thank 168 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:29.800 you so much. 169 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.240 Have a great thing, all right, you too. 170 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.639 Bet she's busy today talking about the first one hundred days. 171 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.360 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 172 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.000 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Michigan Democratic Representative 173 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.519 Shri Thanadar. Since President Trump is unfit to serve and 174 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.919 plans to introduce articles of impeachment against the president, Thanadar 175 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.159 says Trump presents a clear and present danger to the 176 00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:00.039 constitution and our democracy. Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green, you 177 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.240 may remember he was censured for interrupting Trump's speech to 178 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.200 a joint session of Congress, says he too, plans to 179 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:11.320 introduce articles of impeachment against Trump. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, 180 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.399 who replaced Justin Trudeau, has won the support of Canadians 181 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.200 in a victory for his party.

People may see flames and smoke 268 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.200 in Pacific Palisades this week not to worry atf is 269 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.440 doing a controlled burn between tonight and Thursday to help 270 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.960 determine how the Palisades fire started in January.

The artist who created it says 281 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.600 he's planning to restore it. At six oh five, it's 282 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.159 handled on the news. You might notice Bill jumping up 283 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.480 and down. That's because nearly half of Americans are giving 284 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:44.320 President Trump an f Let's say good morning now to 285 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.120 ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim. 286 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.159 Doesn't take much of get Bill jumping up and down. 287 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.440 It does not. 288 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.480 Okay, So we were starting we're sitting here thinking because 289 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.919 RFK Junior is making moves to get rid of artificial 290 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.519 So we're thinking of things like skittles, hot cheetos, cotton candy, 291 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.120 fruit loops, kool aid. Who doesn't love cherry kool aid, 292 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.519 marachino cherries, those kinds of things, and he wants to 293 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.679 get rid of them all. Well, not the things that dyes. 294 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.080 The dyes, the artificial dies. 295 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.639 Then the synthetic coloring, the chemically based stuff that we 296 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.080 find in so many foods to make them more appetizing. 297 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.360 You know, we eat with our eyes, and then we 298 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.960 eat with our You eat with your nose, you smell 299 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.080 the scent of it, and then you finally put it 300 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.879 in your mouth. But eating with your eyes comes first. 301 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.639 And the folks, the good people who make tricks learned 302 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.799 a hard lesson. About eight years ago. Consumers were demanding 303 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.399 and advocates were demanding that the artificial colors be taken 304 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.200 out of tricks. There they were bright blue, bright red, 305 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.159 bright orange, bright yellow, and so the artificial colors were 306 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.799 taken out and they were sort of a muted tone 307 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:02.039 of kind of acrew or light baby blue maybe, And 308 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.519 you know, they still have those in Canada but they 309 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.679 the people. The sales started to slip because people just 310 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.519 didn't didn't think they looked as good. They tasted about 311 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.720 the same, but they looked different. So the food companies 312 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.240 learned a hard lesson from that. So when RFK Junior 313 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.559 says you must take out your artificial colorings by the 314 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.639 end of next year, or at least sit out and 315 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.679 talk with us about it, the food companies are like, okay, yeah, well, 316 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.720 we'll get around to that at some point in the future. 317 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.759 But it's expensive and it's very time consuming. 318 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:35.519 Amy well to figure out new combinations of or new 319 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.559 ways to color them, and. 320 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:39.519 All the testing that has to go into that to 321 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.000 ensure first of all that the new natural color is 322 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.519 safe and second that it's going to fly with consumers. 323 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.639 Because we're talking about, you know, products that people buy 324 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.399 and then they eat. Some of these colors are the 325 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.600 natural colors are ten times as expensive to produce as 326 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.559 their artificial equivalent. Now there's a color called Barbie pink. 327 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:08.759 Have you ever had, for example, pink yogurt, and you've 328 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.599 probably had red, you know, candy, stuff like that. You 329 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.000 know what makes it or what in many cases gives 330 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.680 it that color. A little insect called the coach and eel, 331 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.160 which lives on prickly pears in Perule, the Canary Islands 332 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.880 and Wajaca, Mexico. They have for centuries have been harvesting 333 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.119 this little tiny insects. It's very very small, and it's 334 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.359 dried and then it's ground up and it gives off 335 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.119 this bright red color. It's been used in textiles, and yes, 336 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.720 it's used in some foods that you probably have eaten. 337 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.039 Red velvet cake, for example, has traces of this. It's 338 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.079 not vegetarian. If you're a vegetarian, you're eating meat if 339 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.400 you eat coach and eel insects, and they can cause 340 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.119 allergy issues. So and you know how this is what 341 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.319 I'm talking about the cost of switching to a natural 342 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.599 and the the trouble and expense. It takes seventy thousand 343 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.400 coaching eal insects to get two pounds of dye to 344 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.200 put into food or textiles or whatever you're using it in. 345 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:09.759 Too bad. 346 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.160 They can't figure out how to use mosquitos to color stuff. 347 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.200 There's lots of them. 348 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:15.440 There, Yeah, are your own. 349 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.400 And then you've got to convince people people hearing that 350 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.880 they're eating coach and ill insects aren't going to be 351 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:23.960 happy about that. Mosquitos probably not that either. 352 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.480 So I'm thinking things like jelly bellies are going to 353 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:29.599 have a real issue because almost all of those have 354 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.440 fun colors. 355 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.000 Well they do, right, bright bright colors, and and by design, 356 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.920 you know, they they put those colors into the first 357 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.839 place because it draws your eye, and it draws your 358 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.480 dollars to buy this stuff, and then it's psychologically changes 359 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.400 the taste of it taste. So yeah, we're looking at 360 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.680 potential changes over the coming years. PepsiCo, the maker of 361 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.240 all sorts of snack foods, says, okay, fine, we're going 362 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.279 to start right now with lazed potato chips and tostitos, 363 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.559 which don't have really bright, brilliant colors in them anyway. 364 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.799 So they're going to take those natural color and natural 365 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.599 are those artificial colors out and put in natural colors. 366 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.559 Maybe not too far a stretch on that at least. 367 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:13.480 Okay, So I have a question for you, Jim, isn't 368 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.480 we kept hearing that a lot of these guys are 369 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.799 already banned in Europe, so it's not like it's not 370 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.680 a big deal, Like, why don't we just replicate what 371 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.400 Europe is doing. 372 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.000 Well, it could, but it. 373 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:27.240 Takes Let's say you're going to replace the artificial red 374 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.559 dye that's in some foods and replace it with the 375 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.799 beat juice that can be used, and it can be 376 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.079 blanded out, so it doesn't really create much taste, but 377 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.759 it does give it that red color. First, you have 378 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.279 to grow a whole crop of beats. Then you have 379 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.759 to strain them out, you have to process them. It 380 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.039 takes years, a couple of years at least to do that, 381 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.839 and so it's not as easy to just saying out, well, 382 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.519 the Europeans are doing it, we can do it tomorrow. 383 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.039 It's going to take time. So I think his his 384 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.160 quote deadline by the end of next year is a 385 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.119 little bit you know, Pie in the sky, red green. 386 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:01.599 Pie in the sky. 387 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.440 Yeah. Well, and I will just end this segment by saying, 388 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.359 we were in Disneyland this over the weekend and we 389 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.279 had a mocktail. Well I didn't have the mocktail. My 390 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.119 friend had a mocktail. I had the real cocktail, but 391 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.319 she had, yeah, the real deal. I the real deal. 392 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.359 But they used an apple slice. And then also these 393 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.599 cherries that were like this deep, deep, deep rich bread 394 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.440 that they looked like they were natural, and I'm like 395 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.680 they look better than a Maraschino cherry because they look 396 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.240 like they're real. 397 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.759 Yeah, well canned fruits and some fruits in jars like 398 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:35.160 Maraschino cherries. They have little insects that I'm a coaching. 399 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.920 Eil interesting interesting Abec's Jim Ryan, I'm gonna go eat 400 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.400 some bugs. 401 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:41.559
