WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.799 You're listening to KFI. I am six forty wake Up 2 00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:08.599 Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:15.640 App KFI had KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 4 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:22.760 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 5 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.240 It's five o'clock. 6 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.439 This is your wake up call for Friday, August thirtieth. 7 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.280 I'm Amy King, a before Labor day. If you're traveling 8 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.759 heading out over the weekend, the good news is the 9 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.479 busiest travel day was yesterday. People ditch town early, so 10 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.439 the few of us who were left, maybe traffic will 11 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:52.200 be lighter today. 12 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.600 Nick Pauliocinio Keep has helped checked in on that. 13 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.840 Did you watch the Big interview last night? I have 14 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.960 to say it was very underwhelmed. I was really looking 15 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.560 forward to it because, you know, the Vice president hasn't 16 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.840 spoken publicly in an interview setting since she decided that 17 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.760 she was running for president or announced that she was 18 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:15.760 running for president, and I. 19 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:16.879 Really wanted to find out more. 20 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.000 But I really feel and I don't know how you 21 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.760 feel about this, obviously, but I don't feel like I 22 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.359 got the specifics. I heard a lot of tap dancing 23 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.159 from both Harrison Walls and from CNN really softballs. I 24 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.599 think Dana Bash asked a couple of questions that were 25 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.239 pretty good, but she didn't press nearly as hard as 26 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.040 the Sunday shows, which I watched religiously every week, and 27 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.560 I was like, maybe just hit a little hard, kind 28 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.519 of push him to actually give you an answer. I 29 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.519 wanted to know why she covered for Biden for so 30 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.159 long and when she knew that he was diminished, because 31 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.719 we all saw it. If she was in the room 32 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.879 with him, she had to have seen it. But anyways, 33 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.879 it was interesting. I'm glad she's speaking. I hope that 34 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.000 they do more of these because I want to hear more. 35 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.640 I think that she didn't really explain why she flip 36 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.759 flopped on things, although CNN says, oh, yeah, she totally 37 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.280 explained it. 38 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.560 I don't buy that. But anyway, let's move on, because 39 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.960 that's just politics. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. 40 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.039 I'm unaccused of trying to kidnap his sister's kids in Upland, 41 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400 as led police on a chase before being arrested. The 42 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.000 kid's mom had warned sheriff's deputies that her brother was unstable. 43 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.759 When they caught the guy, he reportedly told them he 44 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.840 wanted to take the children to heaven. Both kids are okay. 45 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.520 Property owners in Los Angeles may soon see a twenty 46 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.360 two percent hike in their sewer service bills if the 47 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.039 city approves new rates today. A city department says the 48 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.319 increases are needed to maintain operations and invest in aging infrastructure. 49 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.080 If approved, rates would go up twenty two percent in October, 50 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.520 followed by a series of smaller increases that would end 51 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.319 up almost doubling bills by twenty The Israeli military says 52 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.719 it has killed five more militants, including a local commander 53 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.039 in the occupied West Bank. Israel says the raids are 54 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.879 aimed at preventing attacks against Israel. We're going to be 55 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.560 talking more about this with ABC's Geordana Miller in just 56 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.240 a couple of minutes. We're also going to be talking 57 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.199 about the house Whisperer at the bottom of the hour, 58 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.639 about how you can make your backyard a relaxing, healthy 59 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.199 space and a place that you want to hang out 60 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.199 and if you want to get away from it all 61 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.759 and travel somewhere that's not crowded with tourists. The Taliban 62 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.319 is calling. Yeah, seriously, that's coming up before the top 63 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.639 of the hour at six oh five, It's handle on 64 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.159 the news. The boor's head plant linked to a lasteria 65 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.199 outbreak is a mess. Inspectors found bugs, mold, and puddles 66 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.639 of blood inside. Let's get started with some of the 67 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.840 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 68 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.000 Vice President Harris says the most important aspect of her 69 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.280 policy decisions since she ran for president in twenty nineteen 70 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.319 is that her values haven't changed. She said in an 71 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.639 interview on CNN last night that one example is her 72 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.360 position on illegal immigration. 73 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.159 I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California 74 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.000 prosecuting transnational criminal organizations violations of American laws. 75 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:14.719 My values have not changed. 76 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.199 Haris says her day one agenda as president would include 77 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.720 implementing her plan for what she calls an opportunity economy, 78 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.360 citing her recent economic proposals to lower costs for Americans. 79 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.800 A bill that would allow illegal immigrants to qualify for 80 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.079 home loans is now up to Governor Newsom. 81 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.839 The bill specifies that qualifying illegal immigrants can participate in 82 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.079 several state backed home purchase programs. Democratic assembly Woman Wendy 83 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.959 Correo says illegal immigrants contribute more than eight billion dollars 84 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:45.959 to the general Fund. 85 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.800 Conversations that suggest that immigrants are taking away from hard 86 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.000 working Californians with other legal status that is a complete 87 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:56.600 betrail of the facts. 88 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.680 Republicans have argued the bill will incentivize illegal immigrant Newsom 89 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.639 has until the end of next month at a side 90 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.720 on the bill Blake Trolly k if I News. 91 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.519 Police in Redlands have smashed their way into a home 92 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.800 at a newdist resort looking for a man they say 93 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.279 could be involved in the disappearance of an elderly couple. 94 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.480 Police used a battering ram yesterday to crash through the 95 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.000 front of the house and then sent a robot with 96 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.800 a camera inside, But the guy police were looking for 97 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.079 wasn't there. Redlands Police Department spokesman Carl Baker says they 98 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:25.879 got a tip that led them to the guy's house. 99 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.360 We received a phone call from somebody with information who 100 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.240 said that they knew who the subject was who was 101 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.920 involved in the disappearance of Dan and Stephanie Menhard. 102 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.000 The Menards and their dog Cuddles have not been seen 103 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.120 since Saturday. 104 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.639 A New Labor Day survey says two out of three 105 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.759 people believe they're working harder this year than last year. 106 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.079 The Wallet Hubs survey also shows three out of four 107 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.839 people think inflation is erasing all their hard work. Ninety 108 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.800 three percent say they want to raise to keep up 109 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.319 with inflation. I just want to raise. I don't care 110 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.319 about keeping up with inflation. Let's say good morning now 111 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.399 to ABC's Geordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, the fighting in 112 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.199 Israel to destroy militants is not only happening in Gaza. 113 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.279 There's also action being taken in the occupied West Bank. 114 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:17.759 That's right. 115 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.439 We're on day three of the Israeli armies what they 116 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.959 call a counter terrorism operation in the northern West Bank, 117 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.240 and that's in the arees of Janine, nabilis tool Karam. 118 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.000 This is an area that long before the Gaza War, 119 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.480 the Palestinian security forces had really lost control of, and 120 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.680 in the year preceding the war in Gaza, we saw 121 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.040 almost thirty Israelis killed by attackers. They came out of 122 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.720 this region, that is, with the shooting attacks and deadly 123 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.720 stabbing attacks. So Israel has been going into this area 124 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.920 steadily during the war, and now they've launched a kind 125 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.279 of the largest scale operation in a few years, and 126 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.759 they're be aiming to arrest terrorists, not necessarily to kill them, 127 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.120 but some that they've been after. 128 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.160 There's been very. 129 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.800 And they've gotten a few very notorious terrorists from both 130 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.759 Samas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The death toll, according to 131 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.720 the Israeli is they killed about sixteen militants and the 132 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.720 Palestinian helped visualty. Over twenty have died. 133 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.600 And are these kinds of attacks, Geordana, I know that 134 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.160 there's a lot of well, you killed this guy, so 135 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.120 we're going to strike back and retaliate. Is this sparking retaliation? 136 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:41.600 Yeah? 137 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.959 I mean, I think there's a lot of discrepancy or 138 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.680 dispute over whether targeted assassinations in general are effective or 139 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.319 whether they've just you know, they just contribute to a 140 00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.360 cycle of violence and they instead of preventing attacks, they 141 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.839 actually fuel new recruits, et cetera, et cetera. 142 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.279 So I think there's I think. 143 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.920 There's a lot of debate about that, and certainly for the. 144 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.199 Bigger terrorist group. 145 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.600 I mean, for a long time, Israel stopped carrying out 146 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.600 targeted assassinations because it was seen as somewhat ineffective. With 147 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.199 some of these smaller groups, it might it might be 148 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.480 a little more effective. And remember Hamas in the West things, 149 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.440 there's still not a large terrorist group there. They don't control, 150 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.519 they don't control the area. 151 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.440 Okay, So those those operations are continuing. 152 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.840 And then back in Gaza, we heard that a case 153 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.840 of polio has been reported and with fears that that 154 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:46.399 could spread. 155 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.279 What are they doing. 156 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:49.600 Right? 157 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.919 So I mean a little bit of good news report, 158 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.000 which is that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to 159 00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.799 limited pauses in the fighting in certain locations to help 160 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:08.480 a polio vaccination campaign roll out. There is one reported 161 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.759 case of polio in the Gaza Strips, a young ten 162 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:17.120 mumble that is paralyzed, and that's after traces of poliovirus 163 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.120 were found in the very war damaged. 164 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.679 Sewage system of Gaza. 165 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.039 So Israel's working already with the UN about a million 166 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.879 doses of the polio vaccine and the refrigeration to keep them. 167 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.960 Should see these limited pauses start sometime next week. 168 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.960 So here's my observation, Jordana. 169 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.399 They're taking steps to protect the children, which is wonderful, 170 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.519 and then the children are being killed in the fighting. 171 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:53.159 It just seems so like just incongruous. That's my big 172 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.879 word for the day. It just doesn't add up, you know, 173 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.559 like if you're going to stop the fighting to save 174 00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:58.840 the children, that stop the fighting. 175 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:06.440 I hear you, I see, I also see the incongruity 176 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.879 of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that decision. Unfortunately, 177 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.960 that decision is not in the hands of the people 178 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.440 of Gaza who are suffering the most, right, it's in 179 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.440 the hands of the of the leader that you know, 180 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.559 I mean Yessinore who runs the Gaza strip. He's you know, 181 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.679 he's a dictator, just he he just doesn't have clothes 182 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.879 on like someone you know, like Putin for example.

It's handle 250 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:08.039 on the News. 251 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.480 Former President Trump says if he's elected, he'll make either 252 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.960 the government or insurance companies pay for IVF treatments. Let's 253 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.200 say good morning now to ABC's Sherry Preston. 254 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.240 Sherry, we've all had it happen. It's ten o'clock at night. 255 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.440 Your boss is texting or emailing or maybe even calling 256 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.519 about something that just can't wait, and you feel compelled 257 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.200 to answer. 258 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.320 But you don't have to anymore if you live in Australia. 259 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.799 Absolutely right. They passed something that's literally called the right 260 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.320 to Disconnect law, and what it means is that employees 261 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.840 in a lot of cases cannot be punished for refusing 262 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.480 to read work emails or respond to work phone calls 263 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.879 or texts from their employers outside of work hours. What 264 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.639 they're saying is that during the pandemic, a lot of 265 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.879 lines were blurred, work from home, work from work. When 266 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.200 can I call? When can I be off? When can't I? 267 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.919 And they're saying it's got to stop. So they passed 268 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.759 this law and employers and employees can be fine tens 269 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.879 of thousands of dollars if they abuse this kind of thing. 270 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.120 It's really interesting they've already got a law like this 271 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.759 in France, now Australia. Several countries in Latin America do 272 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.919 as well, but whether it comes to this country. 273 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.759 It's probably doubtful. 274 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:27.120 Well except that lawmakers in California did introduce a right 275 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.679 to disconnect law this year, but I don't know that 276 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.480 it went anywhere I was. I was looking at it. 277 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.720 Let's when I started, when I realized I was going 278 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.080 to be talking to you. I was like, didn't we 279 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.320 introduce something like that. 280 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.120 That's California. That's California. You know, guys, you're doing all 281 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.000 kinds of things that the rest of us going, what, okay, anyway, 282 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.200 I mean what it's really interesting. We got to say 283 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.639 too that like in the news business, there's doesn't stop 284 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.919 when it's nine to five o'clock, you know, nine to five, 285 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.720 and only news happens during the days and weekend. So 286 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.399 that's kind of off the table. A lot of employers 287 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.000 are saying, you know, we have emergencies too in our business. 288 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.159 So what they do for people who have off hours 289 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.720 and for people you know that things that they're considered emergency. 290 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.120 They have an actual department in the Australian government called 291 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.159 the Fair Work Commission. They got to take into account 292 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.200 an employees role and employees' personal circumstances, how and why 293 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.559 the contact from work was made, and then it has 294 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.720 the power to issue a piece and desist order. And 295 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:33.799 if the company still doesn't do that, they can really 296 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.519 find up to about fifteen thousand dollars for an employee 297 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.600 and about seventy thousand dollars for an employee er. And 298 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.600 you know, they'll make the decision. They'll be the ones 299 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.919 that will look through it and go, you know, can 300 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.600 we can I do this or can I not do this? 301 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.240 Okay, Sherry, I understand the part about the employers getting 302 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.039 in trouble, but the workers, like if if i got 303 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.840 a text from my boss and said, oh I'm going 304 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.000 to answer that, I could get fined. 305 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.599 No no, no, no, your boss could though other boss could 306 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.759 be fined Okay, yeah, I mean separately from your company. 307 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.799 Separately from your company. 308 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:10.519 You know. 309 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.119 And they're saying, they're saying that that you know, Australians 310 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.160 work about two hundred and eighty hours over and above 311 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.240 what they actually are on the clock for working and 312 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.039 totally up eighty eight billion dollars, and they're saying, look, 313 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.680 it's time to actually set these lines. But no, you 314 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:28.920 can actually find an employee for doing this, like say 315 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.039 a boss, okay to the company is you know what 316 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.079 I mean, an employee. You're the employee, but he's your boss, 317 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.559 your manager, and they're the one I said, he or 318 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.039 she or they has, you know, for for for for 319 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.559 doing that. That's that's what how it rolls. It's interesting 320 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.680 that they've already got it in some places talking about 321 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.519 it in California. 322 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.400 You know, whether it. 323 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.079 Passes worldwide highly doubtful, but it's something that really sparks 324 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.640 this conversation about what's my personal time, what's my worktime? 325 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.119 And when can I seriously literally be off the clock. 326 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.880 Yeah, and I I think you made such a good 327 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.640 point about the blurred lines caused by the pandemic because 328 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.640 I remember sitting on my couch working on my computer 329 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.559 from home, not at this job, but at another job, 330 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.519 and you know, working in it. It would be seven, eight, 331 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.759 nine o'clock at night, and I'd go, oh, I'll just 332 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.079 do this, I'll just do that. And because you're not 333 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.640 clocking in and clocking out, it's kind of it gets 334 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.319 a little wunky. 335 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.039 Well it does. And it's like you talk to a 336 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.759 lot of people who work from home. I don't know 337 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.720 if you guys are in the studio or not. 338 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:28.279 I don't know. 339 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.440 Yeah we are, but yeah, and it makes a difference. 340 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.119 It does. You're like, okay, I'm going to work now, 341 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.039 I'm leaving work now. If something happens, I know they're 342 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:39.200 going to call me. I know it's going to be 343 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.559 for something big. But when a lot of people who 344 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.880 work from home say, or you know, said, during the pandemic, 345 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.519 I felt like I was never off. I felt like 346 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.680 I was on twenty four to seven. And a lot 347 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:51.759 of bosses are saying, well, you got the privilege from 348 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.519 working in your pajamas, so we can call you whenever. 349 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.359 And the employees are saying, no, if I'm getting the 350 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.599 work done, I'm being productive. You don't have the right 351 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.880 to do that. Interesting, And you know, the pandemic changed 352 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.279 everything for how people work. It really did. I mean 353 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:07.960 home work. And you know you can work from wherever. 354 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.039 So when you work from wherever, should you have the 355 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.000 privilege of being able to not answer your work emails. 356 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.119 It's going to be up to companies, but in Australia 357 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:16.599 you can go to court for it. 358 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.799 Yeah, well, I know, is my news director Chris Little 359 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.400 would be very cranky if I didn't answer his emails 360 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.000 and texts. 361 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.759 Cherry Preston, Well, good luck with that. Some little thing 362 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.680 for this day. Okay, here, here's the deal.
