WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.560
<v Speaker 2>It's Andrew's last day today. And we started the show

3
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.039
<v Speaker 2>by talking about something that we neither one of us

4
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>know anything about, which is horse racing. And the reason

5
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>I know that Andrew doesn't know anything about it is

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>because we were talking about it and he was saying,

7
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>how come there can be all this pageantry and all

8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>this stuff for this race that's over so quickly and

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>then boom the fever dream ends and everybody goes home. Well, apparently, Andrew,

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm learning this from our talkback line. There there

11
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 2>are other races and.

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Tompson, come on, now, you guys are way off. I mean,

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 3>whoever's talking your friend there with the yeah?

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Whoever is talking yeah exactly, who ever's.

15
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Talking your friend there with the Oh, there's no halftime show,

16
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 3>there's no pre races, and there's races all day.

17
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

18
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, and you're drinking and having a great time. You're betting,

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, and eating.

20
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 4>Come on, thank you.

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 5>I wish I'd known that they too, this friend of yours.

22
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 5>They need to get them off this radio station, telling

23
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 5>your luggy it's his last day. Whoever called in this

24
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 5>is Eric who also wanted the disabuses of this notion

25
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 5>that was only one race.

26
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Andrew re Mark, just hearing your guys talk about

27
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 6>the Kentucky Derby, just so you know there are multiple races.

28
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Boy, well you're going to know this for next year,

29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 4>aren't you.

30
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 6>Andrew gre There's racing all day, And in fact, there's

31
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 6>a race that takes place after the Kentucky Derby. It's

32
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 6>not the last one for the day. Each of those

33
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 6>winners that runs into the Kentucky Derby have won multiple

34
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 6>other races throughout the year and have come together because

35
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 6>those are the best of the best.

36
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 7>And of course it is the.

37
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 6>Start of the Triple Crown which kicks off through the

38
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 6>rest of the summer.

39
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 4>That is so cool.

40
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Eric for calling in and setting us straight.

41
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, when I said, you know, I felt this

42
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 5>was a safe space not doing this on Conway's show,

43
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 5>I bit my tongue.

44
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea, I knew that I knew nothing.

45
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I said that I knew nothing about it, So at

46
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 2>least I feel like that's my high ground. But it

47
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>is true sometimes you just avoid this stuff that it

48
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>gets into the culture, like it was all over TV

49
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. So somehow you feel like it's safe to

50
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 2>comment on it, but then when you actually get into

51
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the specifics, you run aground, as we did.

52
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I do.

53
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 5>I do appreciate the KFI fans for keeping us in

54
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 5>check though with it.

55
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, the more you.

56
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Know, well done, so I promised you, and so I

57
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 2>will get to it now. The President sat down with

58
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Kristin Welker from Meet the Press and talked about any

59
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>number of things. One of the more controversial things. And

60
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of the stuff that Donald Trump

61
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>has done and is doing is super controversial. But the

62
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>controversial thing in this instance is the deep rotation of

63
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>illegal immigrants and due process that might be owed them

64
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and constitutionally dictated due process. And here's how that came up.

65
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 8>Your Secretary of State says, everyone who's here, citizens and

66
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 8>non citizens deserve due process.

67
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 7>Do you agree, mister? I don't know.

68
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 9>I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.

69
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 7>Well, the Fifth Amendment, I don't know.

70
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 9>It seems it might say that, But if you're talking

71
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 9>about that, then we'd have to have a million or

72
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 9>two million or three million trials. We have thousands of

73
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 9>people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and

74
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 9>some of the worst people on earth. But is some

75
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 9>of the worst, most dangerous people on earth. And I

76
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 9>was elected to get them the hell out of here,

77
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 9>and the courts are holding me from doing it.

78
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 8>But even given those numbers that you're talking about, don't

79
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 8>you need.

80
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 7>To uphold the Constitution of the United States as present?

81
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

82
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 9>I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant

83
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 9>lawyers that work for me, and they are going to

84
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 9>obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said

85
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 9>is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said, they

86
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 9>have a different interpretation.

87
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>So he is, let's speak frankly, he is very much

88
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>buoyed by the fact that Americans put him in office

89
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>in part because of his strong stands toward immigration and

90
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>an immigration problem that was clearly out of control. And

91
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>so in service of that, he is doing things that

92
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>do appear to fly in the face of the Constitution.

93
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, essentially, no person is supposed to be deprived,

94
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>as the Constitution says, of life, liberty, or property without

95
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>due process of law. I mean, that's one of the

96
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>things that's underpinned life here. It doesn't matter what the

97
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>person's American citizen or not. And the other thing I

98
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 2>would just quickly say is that those trials that he's

99
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about. You know, the immigration court moves very quickly.

100
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been to traffic court. It's like traffic court, Okay,

101
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>it's quick. It's not like a murder case, which goes

102
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>on over weeks. Whether you've p prove this guy's part

103
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>of MS thirteen or not, that's not the way it works.

104
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 2>So this gets to be controversial. But I mentioned the

105
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>first part because I do think he's got a lot

106
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of the American public who's sort of like, eh, whatever,

107
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, do whatever you got to do. So it's

108
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>a real inflection moment for him.

109
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 4>Now.

110
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I said right away that no one's coming back, and

111
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 2>particularly this Garcia who is in the El Salvador in prison,

112
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>he is not coming back. I don't care how many

113
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 2>court orders there are. I believe that he's not coming back.

114
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>And there are a couple of reasons. One I just stated,

115
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>which is the public essentially is in the again in

116
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 2>the main because I know there people feel very strongly

117
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>about this and should feel very strong about him, and

118
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>the guy was poor without due process. But there's also

119
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>a portion of the population, and the big one, which is, hey,

120
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about this guy.

121
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 4>He is.

122
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>He's gone probably better than he be gone with a

123
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>core process, Without a court process, they'd probably get rid

124
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 2>of him. And most of the public again who voted

125
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>for Trump put him in office because of his immigration stance.

126
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>But the bigger reason that he won't be coming back,

127
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 2>and this, as I say, I think is staring us

128
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 2>clearly in the face, is that he represents a mistake

129
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 2>on the part of the administration. The administration has said

130
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 2>we deported him by mistake. Yet there's no way to

131
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>bring him back. Apparently not. They're not inclined to bring

132
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>him back. They don't like to embrace mistakes. Donald Trump,

133
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 2>as you know, certainly doesn't want to steer into a mistake.

134
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>And so I would say, regardless of court order, that

135
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>this he who's down in El Salvador. He was first

136
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in that super max facility. Now he's in a different place.

137
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>He's not coming back. And this entire now, I don't

138
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 2>know anything about him, I mean, beyond what we have

139
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>all read. So this is not a question of him.

140
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just talking about the process, how it will proceed

141
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.759
<v Speaker 2>in the future. I think may have been determined by

142
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court decision and by some of these other

143
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 2>court decisions along the way. But what I'm saying is

144
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>this one guy who's become a cause celeb. Remember, he's

145
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 2>become a huge deal. That's another reason that Trump doesn't

146
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 2>want him back. And again, from Trump's perspective, this guy

147
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>is just a pain, he's a problem. Moving on. No,

148
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 2>he's not coming back. You think Donald Trump wants that

149
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>guy stepping off a plane to all the photographers in

150
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>media showcasing the fact that he was mistakenly deported without

151
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>due process. No, he doesn't want any of those things.

152
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 2>And for that reason, I think I can state with

153
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>confidence he won't be coming back.

154
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 8>On tariffs, So small businesses say they are being hurt

155
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 8>by the Chinese tariffs, and some could be forced to show.

156
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 4>How many businesses have been helped.

157
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Are you looking at doing relief for small business?

158
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 9>Why do you always mention that you know, you pick

159
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 9>up a couple of little businesses. What about the car business?

160
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 9>They're going to make a fortune because of the tariffs.

161
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.959
<v Speaker 9>Do you know that the union, the head of the union,

162
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 9>who is no fan of mine Faine Sean Fain. I

163
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 9>guess his name is right. He didn't endorse me the

164
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 9>team suits did. A lot of people did, a lot

165
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 9>of unions did, but he didn't. He couldn't stand me. Now,

166
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 9>he was saying, Wow, what's Trump's done for the automobile?

167
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 9>I can't believe it. I assume he's going to probably

168
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 9>now say the next thing you can say, is I

169
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 9>endorse this guy. He's the greatest I've ever seen. He

170
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 9>can't believe it's happened. He said, We've been waiting forty

171
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 9>years for somebody to do what Trump is doing, So

172
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 9>why don't you mention the big car industry instead of

173
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 9>mentioning somebody that's doing strollers.

174
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will get back to this when we come back,

175
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>because I'm actually shopping for a car right now and

176
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I had a long conversation with a guy who owns

177
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>a dealership here in southern California. We'll talk about that

178
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 2>when we come back. And more from Trump and his

179
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 2>sit down with Christian Welker.

180
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

181
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>We're in the middle of talking Trump and his sit

182
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>down with Christian Welker from Meet the Press, and they

183
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>talked about tariffs at some length.

184
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 9>You know, you pick up a couple of little businesses,

185
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 9>what about the car business? They're going to make a

186
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 9>fortune because of the terriffs. Do you know that the union?

187
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 9>The head of the union, who is no fan of mine,

188
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.200
<v Speaker 9>Faine Sean Fain. I guess his name is right. He

189
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.960
<v Speaker 9>didn't endorse me. The team suits did a lot of

190
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 9>people did, a lot of unions did, but he didn't.

191
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 9>He couldn't stand me. Now, he was saying, Wow, what's

192
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 9>Trump's done for the automobile? I can't believe it. I

193
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 9>assume he's going to probably now say the next thing

194
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 9>you can say, is I endorse this guy. He's the

195
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 9>greatest I've ever seen. He can't believe it's happened, he said,

196
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 9>We've been waiting forty years for somebody to do what

197
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 9>Trump is doing. Why don't you mentioned the big car

198
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 9>industry instead of mentioning somebody that's doing strollers?

199
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'm just asking you about small businesses.

200
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 8>Are there any discussions about giving any relief to small businesses?

201
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 7>They're not going to need it, okay? Are they're going

202
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 7>to make so much money?

203
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 9>Are these if you build your product here, remember there

204
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 9>are no tariffs. If you build your product here.

205
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 7>It's very easy.

206
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 4>It's very simple. Yeah.

207
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>The sad part, it really is sad for so many

208
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>small businesses and the component parts and a lot of

209
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the things that involve everything from you know, crocheted blankets

210
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>to automobiles involve component parts. You know, thread that comes

211
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>from China or you know, beads that come from Vietnam,

212
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>whatever it might be. And so those small businesses that

213
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 2>are involved in so many things, the list is long

214
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 2>that are affected negatively by these tariffs. I mean when

215
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I say negatively, I mean many of these small business

216
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>people are having to close down. So it would be

217
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>nice to see some kind of dispensation, some kind of way,

218
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>some kind of relief for small business owners who are

219
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>dramatically and negatively affected by these tariffs. There was mentioned

220
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 2>in a conversation with Mayor Bass was communication with Donald Trump. Now,

221
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Mayor Bass has a tough hill to climb. I mean,

222
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 2>you've got a huge, huge budget deficit in the city

223
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>of Los Angeles, and you know, it's a billion dollars

224
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 2>shortfall almost and the mayor's taking a pay cut, and

225
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>she's saying that the office staff are not taking their

226
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>regularly scheduled cost of living adjustments, et cetera. And she

227
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>apparently spoke also to Donald Trump and commented on communications

228
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 2>with him.

229
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 10>Have you talked to President Treffer? When was the last

230
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 10>time you talked to President Trump about the needs of

231
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 10>your city?

232
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 11>Well, I will tell you that I'm in contact with

233
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 11>representatives of the administration. But I talked to President Trump

234
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 11>when he came out to LA and it was a

235
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 11>few days after his inauguration, and just.

236
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 1>A contact, okay.

237
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 10>And the contact you have with the administration, w you

238
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 10>just characterize them, the contact as constant ongoing. Do you

239
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 10>have any trouble getting through to anybody?

240
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Is what I'm asking.

241
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 11>No, I haven't, And you know, it definitely has benefited

242
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 11>me served twelve years in Congress that I've seen a

243
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.559
<v Speaker 11>number of my former colleagues receive appointments in the administration,

244
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 11>and so.

245
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 7>It's not been constant.

246
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 11>There's not been a need for it to be constant.

247
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 11>But I've not had difficulty getting through, and so I'm

248
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 11>just very optimistic. I mean, the effort is going along

249
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 11>very well now.

250
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean the reality is that these fires have

251
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>been devastating. The January fires have devastated both the California

252
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 2>budget and has it really put the mayor in an

253
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 2>extremely tough position. And it's not just rebuilding, it's all

254
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>the issues around rebuilding, which we can talk about a

255
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit again. There's there's been theft, and there has

256
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>been well there's been there have been impediments. I mean,

257
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 2>there's been, you know, various obstacles to rebuilding. Right, You've

258
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>got essentially huge areas of the Palisades and of the

259
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Eton Fire area in Altadena that are toxified because of

260
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the fires. So that was Mayor bass On communicating with

261
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration. And now this was fascinating to me.

262
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>The timeline on rebuilding and recovery in the fire affected areas.

263
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 7>Well little over one hundred days.

264
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 11>The rebuilding the recovery is going very very fast.

265
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 7>As a matter of fact, if you.

266
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 11>Compared to other fires that have happened in our state,

267
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 11>we are to six months to a year ahea of

268
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 11>other locations. So at this point in time, the Army

269
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 11>Corps of Engineers have cleared eleven hundred properties, So that's

270
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 11>eleven hundred families that can start rebuilding now. A couple

271
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 11>of weeks ago, I was at a property with the

272
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 11>family and construction was already underway. So we had over

273
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 11>six thousand properties destroyed in Palisades, and I will tell

274
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 11>you within two months we had water and power back up.

275
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Because there are still.

276
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.679
<v Speaker 11>A couple of hundred people that live in Palisades whose

277
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 11>homes were not impacted. So we've had other devastating fires

278
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 11>in California.

279
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, if you're living in the Palisades

280
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>or the Altadena area and your place was not affected,

281
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>as the mayor has just mentioned, on the one hand,

282
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 2>you're lucky. On the other hand, it's awful. I mean,

283
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 2>your community is burned out, there is no one around,

284
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.600
<v Speaker 2>You've got construction vehicles everywhere right now, they're not even

285
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 2>construction vehicles. You have this clearing of what I was

286
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>mentioning toxic debris. It's a pretty rough ride for people,

287
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>even those who survived the fires and their structures survived.

288
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 11>A couple of one hundred people that live in Palisades

289
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 11>whose homes were not impacted. So we've had other devastating

290
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.440
<v Speaker 11>fires in California, and so my comparison as to how

291
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 11>we're doing is based on those other fires, and in

292
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 11>many cases, we're six months to a year ahead of

293
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 11>where other cities.

294
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Were, And there's been a lot of these executive actions

295
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 2>on the part of the mayor to make it easier

296
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to address a lot of these issues. For example, the

297
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>permitting process has been made much much easier. There's a

298
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>self certification that's going on. It's focused primarily on the

299
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Palisades rebuilding, and they want to drastically reduce the time

300
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>spent on permitting and so they're trying a lot of

301
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 2>stuff aggressively to allow the rebuild to happen. They're also

302
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to use use AI to help support the review

303
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>of project plans and building and zoning codes. So again,

304
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.320
<v Speaker 2>these are all things that are done to try to

305
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:16.399
<v Speaker 2>speed up the rebuild. But it's a hugely steep mountain

306
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.759
<v Speaker 2>to climb, so much to rebuild, so much to consider,

307
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 2>And I haven't mentioned Malibu. Malibu and the Coastal Commission

308
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>notoriously difficult when it comes to anything that you're going

309
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 2>to do in Malibu. And now you're faced with what

310
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>property owners are going to rebuild where, what bar you're

311
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.240
<v Speaker 2>going to make them clear. I mean, you've heard probably

312
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>of the septic issues. All of Malibu's on septic, so

313
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>they're all kinds of attendant issues to be faced by

314
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 2>many of these homeowners and property owners as they rebuild.

315
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Not easy and Alta Dina. I don't need to tell you.

316
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 2>They've been affected, probably most dramatically by in the aftermath

317
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>burglaries and problems they've faced with looting of many of

318
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the locations in the Altadena area. And they're looking at

319
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:18.599
<v Speaker 2>a really tough rebuild there for commercial buildings and homes

320
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that were burned out in that fire. So we continue,

321
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's one to be watched, and I'll be

322
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>impressed if they can continue the pace they're on. I

323
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 2>must say the clearing of all of these various properties

324
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 2>and all that toxic waste has occurred at a really

325
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 2>great rate. I mean they've really click clacked along, and

326
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 2>that's a good sign. So when we come back, I

327
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>have a mentee. It's scary to think that I'm a

328
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>mentor to anyone but my mentee. And this is the

329
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>power of being a mentor when you just ignore your

330
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 2>mentee and just claim credit for their success. That is

331
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.319
<v Speaker 2>what I've done, and she joins us. She is a

332
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>new podcast. She is a great product of the foster

333
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>care system with a great personal story, but now she's

334
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.599
<v Speaker 2>broadened that and she has a podcast that is really exciting,

335
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and her life itself is a testament to a positive

336
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>and the many positives that can exist in the foster

337
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>care programs.

338
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

339
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Mark Thompson here on this Sunday afternoon. It is Foster

340
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Care Awareness Month. And I'm proud to say that my mentee,

341
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Nancy Mogi, is a product and a delightful successful product

342
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 2>of the foster system. And she joins us. Now, Hi, Nancy, Hi.

343
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 12>Mark Hyberbank.

344
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

345
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever heard anybody say Hi, Burbank

346
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:58.880
<v Speaker 2>when they've been a guest here at KFI. I really

347
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 2>emphasize what a success story you are because you came

348
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>from such a rough time, man. I mean, your mom

349
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 2>was a sex worker, in drugs and all of this stuff.

350
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:14.079
<v Speaker 2>And you were, as I say, in the foster program,

351
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 2>fostered by this family, and you bonded with that family

352
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and they went on to full adoption with you some

353
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>years after you had been with them.

354
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

355
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 13>I can't take all the credit. I must give credit

356
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 13>to my family. It takes a village. There was an

357
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 13>amazing community of friends, family, friends, cousins. That just came

358
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.319
<v Speaker 13>a part of it, seeing that I needed a home

359
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.400
<v Speaker 13>and a place to grow, and it led me here

360
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Speaker 13>a cam I.

361
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, you've done really well. I mean, how old

362
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:39.319
<v Speaker 2>are you now?

363
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 12>Twenty five quarter of a century.

364
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 4>And I've met you when you were seventeen.

365
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 12>I didn't even graduate high school yet.

366
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 2>It was crazy because I was m seeing a foster

367
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 2>of care related program and you came up to me afterward.

368
00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>And I still feel the way I felt then, which is,

369
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I can help anyway, but I'm

370
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 2>happy to try to connect you or try to give

371
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.279
<v Speaker 2>you advice along the way or whatever. And that's kind

372
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 2>of all I've done. Not much. You've really created a

373
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.440
<v Speaker 2>path for yourself. Tell me what you're up to now,

374
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and tell me about the new podcast.

375
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 13>So you know, when I saw you standing up on

376
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 13>that stage years ago, that showed me that there was

377
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 13>a possibility for a career or just a pathway to

378
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 13>stand in front of a stage, use a microphone and

379
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 13>make an impact. Kept up with all the work you've

380
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 13>done and I kept seeing that impact and you've actually

381
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 13>been an amazing help.

382
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.799
<v Speaker 12>So you I got to give you.

383
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 13>Credit while we're on air, and you know, I remember

384
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 13>I've been telling her, I want to share my story.

385
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.920
<v Speaker 13>I want to do something. You kept telling me, Well,

386
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 13>you got to make something yourself. You can't just you know,

387
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.440
<v Speaker 13>hop on other things. You got to create your own thing.

388
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 13>And then I created The Future's Foster Podcast because I

389
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 13>wanted to be a microphone for all the amazing people

390
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 13>I've met in the system, so we could really create change.

391
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting because the system that you talk about is

392
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.359
<v Speaker 2>a controversial one. I mean, here's one sad story after

393
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>another in the foster system. That's why I love your story.

394
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a story of triumph, it's a story of success.

395
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>But tell me about the does the podcast then talk

396
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 2>about the pitfalls, the soft spots as well as the

397
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:09.920
<v Speaker 2>success stories.

398
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, we don't hide away. We talk about it all.

399
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 13>Each story is different, whether we're talking about a happy

400
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 13>adoption story about foster youth to incarceration to you know,

401
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 13>success story. There's so many different paths people can take

402
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 13>into the system. And even if you were a part

403
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.920
<v Speaker 13>of the system, we've all experienced sadness, you know, close

404
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 13>feelings of family, being detached from family, and we just

405
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 13>really want to create a community for those people who

406
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 13>feel at their lowest and just share the burden.

407
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.599
<v Speaker 12>A little bit.

408
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>That's so lovely. You've got just such a great attitude too,

409
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 2>and I think that comes across in your work and

410
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>in your communication skills and the way you communicate.

411
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.200

425
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.640
<v Speaker 2>yourself with that family went out of as I mentioned,

426
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 2>sort of the ashes of a childhood that had all

427
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>kinds of problems. You did really rise with this family

428
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 2>and went to school, had an education. You have a boyfriend,

429
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I think here, yeah, and that's its own. How long

430
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 2>have you been with your boyfriend six years.

431
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 12>Wow, almost six years.

432
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 4>Just about isn't that great?

433
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 12>We've grown together truly.

434
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 13>And I met him when I was fourteen and I

435
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.480
<v Speaker 13>was in the system. I had just moved with my

436
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 13>family to Riverside and you know, going to court here

437
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.279
<v Speaker 13>and there, and he really stuck by and watched me

438
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:05.079
<v Speaker 13>and helped me grow.

439
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:06.279
<v Speaker 12>And now we get to grow together.

440
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Wow, what a great story. And what does he do?

441
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 12>He works at Google. He's an engineer, Okay, And everyone's like, oh,

442
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 12>you're there and with a big job.

443
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 6>No.

444
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 13>I stuck through in the beginning when he was sending

445
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 13>job applications.

446
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, good, you've been there.

447
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.599

<v Speaker 2>So you guys, are you're forming a life together?

450
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 4>You live together or what do you live together?

451
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:31.079
<v Speaker 12>We're forming a life together.

452
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 13>We're figuring out how you do this whole adulting, living together,

453
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 13>growing together. We're in such different fields and life goals.

454
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 13>You know, I'm over he's over there coding today. I'm

455
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 13>over here hopping on Kfi, like just trying to figure

456
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 13>out how to mend and grow together.

457
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.519
<v Speaker 12>And best support each other.

458
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 13>Because he didn't know about the foster care system, or

459
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 13>had the same traumas as I did, so we're both

460
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 13>learning and growing together.

461
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 2>It's just so fascinating and exciting to kind of watch

462
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you in this world with a I guess you just

463
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.039
<v Speaker 2>have such a such positivity.

464
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't think you're you learn that.

465
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we all know that it's better to be

466
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.880
<v Speaker 2>positive than negative, Okay, I know that it's.

467
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.480
<v Speaker 13>Just as much energy, you know, to be positive than

468
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.720
<v Speaker 13>it does to be negative, So why not choose the

469
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 13>brighter outcome?

470
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 4>But you really live it.

471
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, ever since I've met you, you just live

472
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the positivity, which is really cool. All right again, it's

473

<v Speaker 2>called The Future is Foster podcast. It's available anywhere podcasts

480
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:50.720
<v Speaker 13>Social workers, adoptees, prospective adoptive parents, people who know nothing

481
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:52.599
<v Speaker 13>about the foster care system and want to just come

482
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 13>and talk about what they know. Really everything, no story

483
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 13>isn't a good story.

484
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Are there other.

485
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Sort of high profile examples of of foster success stories

486
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>like yourself?

487
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 13>You know, I think each story is a little different.

488
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:08.279
<v Speaker 13>Not everyone gets to be adopted. Some people age out

489
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 13>and then they go on to make a big impact.

490
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 13>One of my biggest inspirations is Tiffany Hattis. She's a

491
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 13>really big comedian and you might you might know her sure,

492
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 13>and she has a really big success story because she

493
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 13>took everything she went through and then created a nonprofit

494
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 13>called the She Ready Foundation to inspire other people to

495
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.480
<v Speaker 13>grow through what they go through.

496
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I just I just love it. Congratulations on everything. Thanks

509
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on.

510
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.079
<v Speaker 2>To man Mark Thompson here, and you know it's Andrew's

511
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 2>last day. As I was mentioning at the top of

512
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the program, he's our stalwart news person a lot of weekend,

513
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of weekday fill in, a lot of He's

514
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>he can do it all. He's one of those valuable

515
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>people at a broadcast facility where you can just you know,

516
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>ask him to do anything and he can do it.

517
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.319
<v Speaker 2>But he's not going to be doing it here anymore.

518
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.799
<v Speaker 2>So we're, you know, kind of sad to see him leave.

519
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.000
<v Speaker 4>You make it so so sad.

520
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, maybe I've underscored the sadness when it's

521
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 2>actually a new beginning for you. Yes, that new chapter,

522
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a new chapter, right, But nonetheless, I'm I'm going to

523
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>miss you. I also recall that you you're involved in

524
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>voiceover work too, aren't you.

525
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean I my voice will still be around,

526
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 5>I just won't be in a news capacity right anytime soon.

527
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember we were sharing voiceover stories because yeah, you know,

528
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 2>it's very hard to get a voiceover job. I audition, audition, audition,

529
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I still spend most of the time auditioning.

530
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 4>You don't get anything.

531
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.319
<v Speaker 5>I know, Will Arnett has everyone's job.

532
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Now a lot of celebrities are involved in voiceovers. Now,

533
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>there were always celebrity voices, but now on another level.

534
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was sort of viewed like doing commercials,

535
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. Was viewed as you know, a little bit

536
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>in the old days, it's something you didn't want to do.

537
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't want to be a pitch man

538
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 2>for somebody, you know, And now there is no shame

539
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.279
<v Speaker 2>in it. I mean you just see celebrities crossing over

540
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.599
<v Speaker 2>in every way. Yeah, the biggest movie stars, the biggest

541
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>TV stars, and then, as you say, somebody like Will Arnette,

542
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.240
<v Speaker 2>who has a lot of voiceover work already and you know,

543
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 2>even more now with his rising profile as a result

544
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 2>of you know, his podcast and TV work.

545
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.960
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, you're right, there's a lot, a lot being taken.

546
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 5>By the way for you know, not a shameless plug

547
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 5>for Mark Thompson, but I love following you on social media,

548
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.759
<v Speaker 5>Like I love tuning into your stories on Instagram because

549
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.559
<v Speaker 5>you voice over like wherever you are or whatever you're doing,

550
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.640
<v Speaker 5>and it is so fun to watch.

551
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Thank you man. I need to do more that it

552
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 4>is it is.

553
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 5>You do that stuff on the fly sometimes and I'm like,

554
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 5>this is so funny.

555
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 2>No, I just I think the scene is always better

556
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.160
<v Speaker 2>if there's a little narration around it. So yeah, you're saying, yeah,

557
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm on Instagram, I'm Mark Thompson TV. So it was

558
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:31.440
<v Speaker 2>actually Conway. Conway said to me. I walked in one

559
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:35.039
<v Speaker 2>day and I've been off Fox for a while, and

560
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Conway said, Thompson, when are you going to drop the TV?

561
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.440
<v Speaker 2>So I did, at his prompting drop the TV from Twitter.

562
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>But I couldn't drop the TV from Instagram. It wasn't

563
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 2>as easy. So oh, it's Chris Merrill coming up. Yeah, okay, yeah, totally.

564
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 2>I will totally do a cross with Chris. I want

565
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>to mention one other thing before I get to that,

566
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and that is that the in and out in Alhambra

567
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>is now closed for construction. I know I should have

568
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>asked you to sit down before I told you this,

569
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>but in the San Gabriel Valley this affects a lot

570
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 2>of people. The location on North Atlantic Boulevard in Alhambra

571
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:20.119
<v Speaker 2>temporarily closed because there are so many improvements to the

572
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 2>parking lot and drive through lane that they can't keep

573
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 2>the facility open. So if you go to In and Out,

574
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:33.200
<v Speaker 2>we're Atlantic and Garfield Cross before Huntington. It's a big

575
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 2>intersection and a drive through line that is massive as

576
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>our most around In and Out, be aware that that

577
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 2>location will be closed. In and Out still a family

578
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 2>owned and operated restaurant chain, four hundred restaurants across the

579
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 2>West and completely owned by Again, the family wasn't the

580
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.119
<v Speaker 2>owner of In and Out.

581
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:01.720
<v Speaker 4>She's a lindsay, Yeah, she's a granddaughter.

582
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Did they do a reality show around her something? She's

583
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of a personality in her own right, as I recall.

584
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if it was a documentary or just

585
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 5>like a like a like a featured piece that they'd

586
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.759
<v Speaker 5>done on her. She's pretty grounded individual though. She's got

587
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:18.599
<v Speaker 5>like her grandparents, like work ethics. That's terrific values. That's

588
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 5>really cool. It's it's probably not easy to stay grounded

589
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.640
<v Speaker 5>with all that. I was looking at. Who's Will Smith's son?

590
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 5>The yeah Jaden, Yeah, and he was at the was

591
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 5>a Paris fashion show or maybe it was the New

592
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.680
<v Speaker 5>York Fashion Fashion show and he was wearing this thing.

593
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 4>You can find it. Just google the Jaden and.

594
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:43.400
<v Speaker 2>You'll see he's wearing this like house like thing on

595
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 2>his head, and that got me sort of on a

596
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 2>deep dive. And I watched him like going in and

597
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 2>out of clubs and all the rest, and he's ultra

598
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 2>stylized and ultra you know, he's got something.

599
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 4>Equivalent to that. Very trendy. Yeah, yeah, thank you, very trendy.

600
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>But I mean he puts the tea in trendy, okay,

601
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:05.079
<v Speaker 2>And I thought to myself, to be fair to him,

602
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:07.680
<v Speaker 2>it's got to be hard. You're growing up in this

603
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:13.359
<v Speaker 2>uber celebrity family with Jada Pinkett and Will Smith as

604
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 2>your parents. You have a lot of money, a lot

605
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 2>of privilege, a lot of access, and a lot of scrutiny.

606
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people are looking at him, and so

607
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe i'd start, you know, tweaking out like that. Also,

608
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it's starting to putting these like crazy outfits together or whatever.

609
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've always noticed that Hollywood kids are with it.

610
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 5>Nepo babies is what they call them. It's always harder

611
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 5>for them because they're always in the shadow.

612
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yes, it's true, but I mean you do

613
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:39.960
<v Speaker 2>have a fork in the road. You can try to

614
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:43.519
<v Speaker 2>remain kind of somewhat normal. A lot of those actors

615
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I think of like a Scott Eastwood or you know.

616
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.920
<v Speaker 5>I think Demi Moore and Bruce Willis's kids are pretty

617
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 5>grounded individuals.

618
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be hard, and it does come from

619
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the parents on some level, right, I mean, the parents

620
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 2>help keep you grounded. So I have a lot of

621
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 2>friends who who done well, and they always, to a person,

622
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.759
<v Speaker 2>almost are pretty tough about laying a lot of money

623
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>on their kids. They want their kids to remain grounded

624
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and to have careers and to have aspirations that they

625
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.759
<v Speaker 2>pursue that aren't just served up for them by their

626
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich parents.

627
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:17.799
<v Speaker 4>You know.

628
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 2>That seems like the right thing to It seems like

629
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the right strategy, the right blueprint to pursue.

630
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.720
<v Speaker 4>So is Chris is next? Is he around? I don't know?

631
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah, oh hello.

632
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you are, as I've always said, uh, a true

633
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>talent of broadcasting.

634
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 4>So you're a yeah right? So what you very grounded?

635
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 14>That's because my parents kept me away from the celebrity life.

636
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 4>Chris marril is not.

637
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you are truly your day's drive from celebrity, would

638
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you say, Chris.

639
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, yeah, never never have ahead on you that that

640
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 14>the nepotism advantages.

641
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.680
<v Speaker 2>What what What kind of business are your parents in?

642
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 14>By the way, uh So, the joke is that my

643
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 14>grandfather on my mother's side was an electrician. My grandfather

644
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 14>on my father's side was an electrician. My father was

645
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 14>an electrician. I'm a giant let down.

646
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.559
<v Speaker 4>I see.

647
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:10.799
<v Speaker 2>But do you have some electrician type skills?

648
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I can do basic, basic stuff just And

649
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 14>the reason I do this is I never worked in

650
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 14>my dad's shop or anything like that.

651
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

652
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 14>I mean, when I was a little kid, I used

653
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.440
<v Speaker 14>to put price tags on things that would go on

654
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 14>the shelves, you know, as far as I went. But

655
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 14>what I found is that as I've gotten older in

656
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.440
<v Speaker 14>trying to bond with my father now, we spend a

657
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 14>lot of time doing projects. And of course we always

658
00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:36.400
<v Speaker 14>sort of fall back on electrical projects because that's his

659
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 14>you know, that's.

660
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:38.240
<v Speaker 4>His sure, sure, you know.

661
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 14>So, so I find that we do a lot of

662
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 14>real basic wiring around the how any house I've had,

663
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 14>you know, We'll we'll replace outlets, we'll run some new wires.

664
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 14>If it gets into three way wiring, it gets a

665
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:52.279
<v Speaker 14>little beyond me and I have to have him jump

666
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 14>in and help me out. We replace some circuit breakers,

667
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 14>you know, just just basic stuff.

668
00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but that's I mean, what's tricky about it.

669
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I've always felt electrician, you really need an electrician most

670
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 2>of the time when you're dealing with anything that involves electricity,

671
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's dangerous.

672
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:07.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's tricky.

673
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, And it's it's something that struck me a few

674
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.239
<v Speaker 14>times that at some point I'm not gonna have Dad

675
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.280
<v Speaker 14>around and I'm gonna have one of those projects come up,

676
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 14>and uh, and I'm and I'm gonna wish I did. Sure,

677
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 14>I'm gonna have to hire somebody, and it's it's gonna

678
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 14>it's gonna be painful, not only because I'm gonna have

679
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.079
<v Speaker 14>to pay for it, but also it's it's just a

680
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.840
<v Speaker 14>reminder of the things that that he and I were

681
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:28.519
<v Speaker 14>able to do together.

682
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.079
<v Speaker 2>And then, well, don't move on. The guy's still alive,

683
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 2>isn't he. I mean, yeah, yeah, Yeah.

684
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 14>He's funny because he's not that old. He's he's only

685
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 14>seventy one, but he talks like he's ninety one. So

686
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.280
<v Speaker 14>he's got he's got these little every time he has

687
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 14>a medical problem, he says, well, can't use my left

688
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 14>arm anymore. And I said, this is true, he says,

689
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 14>I can't use my left arm anymore. So I guess,

690
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:51.440
<v Speaker 14>I guess this year I won't be fishing. I'll just

691
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 14>sit on the boat with you. And it's so funny. Again,

692
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:56.679
<v Speaker 14>he's only seventy one, and I go, Dad, I think

693
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:58.320
<v Speaker 14>we could probably do something about that. Let's talk to

694
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.199
<v Speaker 14>your neurologist. He goes, Now, it just happens when you

695
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.320
<v Speaker 14>get old. He just gives up.

696
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:02.960
<v Speaker 4>It's great.

697
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:06.639
<v Speaker 14>The time I was home, we did some we did

698
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 14>some wiring, put in some put in some outlets, change

699
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 14>out some breakers, and did that kind of thing.

700
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 4>So that's great.

701
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.280
<v Speaker 14>I look forward to those I look forward to those things.

702
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.639
