He's got more 10 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.320 money than I do. We ran out and had to 11 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:04.840 come home. He just keeps on going. The ever ready 12 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:11.760 bunny but jewish and bald and rich. But other than 13 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.560 that similar, Hey, Amy King, before we get into the 14 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.000 morning news, Yes, please tell us about your waggle, your wiggle, 15 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.359 your walk, all those things. 16 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.719 Well, we just mentioned it, but I'm gonna just mention 17 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.480 it anytime that you give me the opportunity. The Wiggle 18 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.439 Wagglewalk is coming up on Sunday, April sixth. We're going 19 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.439 to be walking around the Rose Bowl to raise money 20 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.959 for Pasadena Humane. And you know that they always do 21 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.359 amazing work to take care of animals and treat them, 22 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.079 getting them ready for their forever homes. But they've been 23 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.840 particularly stressed this year because of the eating fires and 24 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.040 where they've taken in, like they've found fifteen hundred animals, 25 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.359 they've treated them for burns. They're still housing some of 26 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.200 them because people who lost their homes don't have a 27 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.239 place to keep their animals, so they're basically boarding these 28 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.640 animals until they can be reunited permanently with their families. 29 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.520 So when you walk, you're doing good to help animals, 30 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.360 and that's a big deal. And our goal is to 31 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.159 raise ten thousand dollars. We're not there yet. We need 32 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.479 your help. We would love there's two ways to do it. 33 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.400 You can walk with us, join the wake up call wigglers, 34 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.120 or you can make a donation. Or you can do 35 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.280 both and it's very easy to do both of them. 36 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.120 Go to KFI AM six forty dot com, slash wiggle again. 37 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.879 That's this Sunday.

And 42 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.960 you know what, we've had some amazing donors. We've had 43 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.000 some people that I can't say thank you too because 44 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.879 they anonymously did it. So I will just say thank 45 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.719 you to anyone anonymously. But several other people just have 46 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.280 really stepped up and we appreciate it a ton. 47 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.560 That's awesome. That's awesome.

I had fun doing that and 60 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.240 I'm happy to do it. All right, let's get into 61 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.360 the news, shall we lead story. 62 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.800 Pass packses? You have PAGs my brain. 63 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.960 We don't know what we're doing with your money, but 64 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.080 please give us more. Don't be surprised if the next 65 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.879 few times you ring something up this week you start 66 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.560 seeing a few extra cents wrung up. Starting today, Los 67 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.159 Angeles County residents will see a sales tax increase, oh boy, 68 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.400 on their purchases due to a voter approved We're stupid 69 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.960 measure that supports county run homeless services. So in some 70 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.080 areas will jump from nine point five to nine point 71 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.000 seven to five. Alameda County currently has the highest county 72 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.000 wide sales tax at ten point two five sh oh. 73 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.399 No, in Palmdale? Is it Palmdale that just went up 74 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.439 to eleven and a quarter? 75 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.120 I mean really? 76 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.360 Yeah? And then some other cities, in addition to this 77 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.000 county tax also added on. I think Huntington Beach has 78 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.560 a new tax. And then this tax that we have, 79 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.040 this is a half cent tax, but effectively it's going 80 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.800 up by a quarter percent because what we passed in 81 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.240 November was to repeal the old tax of a quarter 82 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.240 cent and replace it permanently with a half cent tax. 83 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.720 So Measure H is what you're talking about, set to 84 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.279 expire in twenty twenty seven. 85 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.680 Yeah, So they repealed that one completely, but then added 86 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.040 on a bigger one permanently. 87 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.120 And you know what, we're still in the middle of 88 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.040 a scandal. In my view, where we don't even know 89 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.800 where the money is going for the homeless that we 90 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:08.680 already have. 91 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.519 The couple billion dollars. 92 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.079 Yeah, yeah, so and we keep giving more money to 93 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.720 this and it's not great. 94 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:25.759 Corey Booker's still talking. He's on the Senate floor. He's 95 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.399 a new Jersey senator, and he started talking last night 96 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.600 at four o'clock our time, and he has talked through 97 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.519 the evening. I saw him this morning. He's still standing. 98 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.279 He said, I rise with the intention of disrupting the 99 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.639 normal business of the United States Senate for as long 100 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.319 as I am physically able. He said, I rise tonight 101 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.759 because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis. 102 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.199 So this isn't a filibuster per se, because there's no law. 103 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.959 He's not keeping me from passing the law or nominations 104 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.319 or he's just talking. 105 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.079 He's only talking to himself because before he even started, 106 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.360 the Senate had wrapped up his business for the day. 107 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:13.319 So even more impressive than well, maybe he's just crazy. No, Okay, 108 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.879 So somebody that just stands up starts talking to himself 109 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.279 for you know, through the evening, that's normal. Yeah, he's got. 110 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.959 Something to say. If nobody's listening. I see he has 111 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.519 a point to make you bless him for it. 112 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.480 You do this, yeah, because he's angry at Trump. 113 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.000 Yeah, I do it too. 114 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.120 And seventy some odd days into a seventy one days 115 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.680 into it where all hell's breaking loose? Is it pretty 116 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.519 much anybody's life changed in this past seventy one days? 117 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:44.560 I should know about. 118 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:45.839 They're laying the groundwork. 119 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:52.319 Is that right? It's coming, It's coming. Okay, so good 120 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.160 on your corey. If someone gives you some water, his 121 00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:01.399 voice is going to be trashed. Stocks their worst quarter 122 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.319 since twenty twenty two of men tariff uncertainty. Uncertainty makes 123 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.399 people nervous. People liked the same, same, same, So the 124 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.480 S and P five hundred dropped more than four point 125 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.279 five percent for the first quarter of twenty twenty five 126 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.079 Monday's close, obviously, we looked these numbers. Falling tech heavy 127 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.920 Nasdaq plummeted ten point four percent, Dow Jones Industrial Average 128 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.199 settled at one point three percent lower, and recorded its 129 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.839 first back to back monthly loss since October of twenty 130 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:37.360 twenty three. This all comes because President Donald Trump is 131 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.839 set to unveil the new slate of wide ranging tariff 132 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:46.480 so this ongoing trade policy that has everything up in 133 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.519 the air, no names of countries that are gonna get 134 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:55.040 tagged specifically, no numbers per se, just a fun name 135 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.000 of what is it? It's non Independence Day. We already 136 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:00.680 one of those. 137 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:02.399 He calls it liberation Day. 138 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.600 Yeah, liberation Day. 139 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.639 Niel Svader, do you think that there's some wheeling and 140 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.199 dealing going on at this moment, which is why they 141 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.920 haven't announced everything specifically? 142 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:18.519 Absolutely? Absolutely. The whole point of this, I mean, the 143 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.879 whole point of this is that it's being played as 144 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.920 a game. We don't like it. I get that, I 145 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:26.920 get that, But I said this yesterday. If you walk 146 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.800 in in the middle of surgery, it's ugly, blood everywhere, 147 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.039 guts everywhere. And I you know, I'm not a Trump 148 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.440 supporter personally, did not vote for the man. However, when 149 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.320 somebody's president, you got to kind of let thing, you know, 150 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.440 see where things are gonna go. And the reality is, 151 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.000 if he's gonna gut stuff and want to put it 152 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.320 back together, we're gonna have to be patient. It's not 153 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.679 gonna be pretty. There's a lot there is a lot 154 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.360 of roots of stupidity that have been grown through throughout 155 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.440 our country and the bureaucracy and the government that need 156 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.399 to be hacked away. It isn't going to be pretty 157 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.919 no matter who does it, a Republican, a Democrat, It's 158 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.200 not going to be pretty if it's done right. So 159 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.919 I'm not thrilled with the way he does things. But 160 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.360 I'm not here to say that none of this is 161 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.759 going to come out good on the other side, because 162 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.639 I don't know yet, and I don't think anybody does. 163 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.039 So time will tell. Time will tell. 164 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.840 One moment is not enough. Authorities in Me and mar 165 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.919 have held a minute of silence to honor the victims 166 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.360 of the earthquake. More than twenty seven hundred people are dead, 167 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.879 including fifty kids from one preschool. Oh that breaks my heart. 168 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.120 The hardest hit areas are struggling to find food, water, 169 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.519 and shelter. The magnitude seven point seven quake hit around 170 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:57.200 lunchtime locally on Friday. It was the strongest earthquake to 171 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.279 hit the Southeast Asian country in more than a century, 172 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.600 which means it's knocking over new buildings and ancient pagodas. 173 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.639 Everything just insane. A beautiful part of the world, by 174 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.600 the way, A very beautiful part of the world. All right, 175 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.480 So today Wisconsin has high stakes Supreme Court race special 176 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.679 elections in Florida as well. So this is big doing 177 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.960 this selection to fill a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. 178 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.000 It's showing itself as the country's first major political battle 179 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.559 since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. And 180 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.840 you know, these are kind of like, I don't know, 181 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.399 tests of some kind. We look at these things to 182 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.000 see how people are going to respond to the first 183 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.679 seventy some odd days of Trump and the White House. 184 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.480 So is the president's popularity in that state that he 185 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:55.279 just narrowly flipped last year? Is this a gauge of 186 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.639 some kind of what's going on and the politics and 187 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.919 how that's going to play out. And then you've got 188 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.279 a pair of special elections for two vacant House seats 189 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.919 in Florida. Maybe not as much attention as the other 190 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.000 is getting, but the outcomes today could deliver Republicans some 191 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.879 much needed reinforcements are kind of padding I guess, as 192 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.480 Speaker of Mike Johnson narrow majority and provide you know, 193 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.279 kind of the mood. We're looking at the mood, the 194 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:30.559 vibe of the voters. So we shall see, Oh, it's 195 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.720 my turn. Yes, ma'am, there's only two of us. 196 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.559 I know. Okay, wait, I got to get to the 197 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.000 rate thing, Okay, Testing one, two, three. Testing Researchers at 198 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:44.159 Caltech have been collecting samples and testing what's in them 199 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.919 from dozens of homes around Altadena since the fires broke out, 200 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.519 and what they're finding out is not good. The result 201 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.519 of fifty two tests has found an alarming rate of 202 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.000 lead concentration on indoor surfaces. More than half had lead 203 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.480 levels higher than at least the EPA limit, and Francoisissau, 204 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.320 Caltech professor of geochemistry, says for kids, there is no 205 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:08.480 safe level of lead. 206 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.440 Yeah. The interesting thing on this, I got some notice 207 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.519 the other day from an attorney of some kind. We're 208 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.279 ten miles away, I think miles right, I would say, 209 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.360 from the eating fire, and we got something, you know, 210 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.080 class action, something saying, hey, even if you weren't affected 211 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.000 directly by the fire, you may have particulates and stuff 212 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.840 in your air ducts. And I was like just about 213 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.000 to toss it, and I ended up tossing it, but 214 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.320 I thought, wow, I never thought about that, because we 215 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.440 did have ash all over the place, and now you 216 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:51.879 are concerned about things floating, and there is no good 217 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.080 amount of lead as somebody like me who lives in 218 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.679 a house that's one hundred and twelve years old or 219 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:07.919 something like one hundred and ten years old. Uh so scary, Oh, Amy, 220 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120 Amy know is this me? It's sorry? Sorry, Amy, I 221 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.799 was talking too much. I didn't want to hear myself anymore. 222 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:14.799 And and you were piling on. 223 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.360 Yeah. Wow, you have a reputation, Amy, that's the reality. 224 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.679 It kind of is usually, but only because you have 225 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:22.399 a lot on your plate. 226 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.159 Yeah, so I just went there. 227 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:24.919 Thanks. 228 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:30.000 It was a wake up Okay. Three federal agencies reviewing 229 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.080 nearly nine billion dollars in contracts and grants between the 230 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.879 government and Harvard University. So this all has to do 231 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.320 with you know, Harvard was pinnacle, right, Harvard is where 232 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.720 everyone wants to get into, fantastic school, the American dream, 233 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.399 blah blah blah. While now it's being said that Harvard's 234 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:53.240 failure to protect students on campus from anti Semitic discrimination, 235 00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:00.840 all while some say promoting device of ideologies has put 236 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.440 the reputation in serious jeopardy. So now the government is 237 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.159 including the Department of Education, Health and Human Services the 238 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.919 US General Services Administration announced just yesterday they're reviewing this 239 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.559 almost nine billion dollars in grants and more than two 240 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.120 hundred and fifty five million dollars worth of contracts between 241 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.039 them and Harvard. So this could be a big blow 242 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.000 to have it all. 243 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:30.679 Right, Setting the record straight, federal officials say we didn't 244 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.519 pick up that University of Minnesota graduate student for protesting. 245 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:40.559 The student was detained by Immigrations and Customs enforcement. They 246 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.799 say it was because of a duy. In a statement, 247 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.399 the Department of Homeland Security said the individual in question 248 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.000 was arrested after a visa revocation by the state Department 249 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.399 related to a prior criminal history for dui. 250 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.600 Wow. It's like al Capone get nailed on tax concerns 251 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.720 and do what you gotta do. She was got arrested 252 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:11.799 for a dei. Oh, dui d u ei is a 253 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.679 different thing. Gotcha, Roger? That all right? The Trump Administration's 254 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.720 latest assertion of power over the press corps. The White 255 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.519 House intends to take over the seating assignments in the 256 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:27.000 press briefing room. So you have the White House Correspondence Association. 257 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.240 They're an independent group and they assign all the seats right, 258 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.440 they manage the relationships between the White House and the 259 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.399 Press Corps and all those things. While this could be 260 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.360 a tug of war when things go into play, but 261 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.159 really doesn't matter where they sit. What really matters is 262 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.639 that everybody gets to ask questions and should be treated equally. Right, 263 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:50.759 who cares where they sit? 264 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.840 For those of who can afford it, Space is now 265 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:05.159 within reach. Space has launched a crew dragon spacecraft. It's 266 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.480 carrying a cryptocurrency billionaire and three others on a days 267 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.039 long trip that's going to orbit the Earth above the 268 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.159 North and South Poles. That's never happened before. After it 269 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.440 took off from Florida, the Falcon nine rocket flew south, 270 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.000 tracing a path no human space flight mission has ever traveled. 271 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.480 The missions called fram two and spearheading it is Malta 272 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.559 resident Chun Wang, who made his fortune running bitcoin mining operations, 273 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.080 paid SpaceX an undisclosed amount of money, and then he's 274 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:41.519 joined by Norwegian film director Janet Mickelson and Germany based 275 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.039 robotics researcher Rabbi Rogue and Australian adventurer Eric Phillips. 276 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.279 Would you go? Would you go? To Space? 277 00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.840 Not on like this? They're just in a capsule. Like, 278 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.879 although I will tell you after talking to Colonel Haig 279 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.160 several times, our Space Force guardian friend, you're just like, Wow, 280 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.240 that would be so cool, but that this is just 281 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.000 in orbit for three days. 282 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.240 Yeah, but you're in space. You get to see a 283 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.799 perspective very few people have. 284 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.440 Oh sounds kind of scary. And who's piloting this sucker? 285 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.799 Well you, I. 286 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:27.000 Don't think anybody's steering, Okay, would you? 287 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.480 Yeah? I would want to. I don't know that I 288 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.559 could physically hant. I don't know what they're looking to 289 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.079 put two hundred and fifty pounds of extra bulk. You're 290 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.680 laughing a little hard. Cono a lot of extra bulk 291 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:43.359 on that thing, But I don't know. Spokesperson said. The 292 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:47.480 CDC continues to recommend vaccines as the best way to 293 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.799 protect against measles. Who would have thunk, But this is 294 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.119 kind of weird because leaders at the Center for Disease 295 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.839 Control and Prevention also ordered staff this week not to 296 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.640 release their experts assessment that found the risk of catching 297 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.400 measles as high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates 298 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:12.240 are lagging. So I like, why would you hold that back? 299 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.079 They say, hey, well, because everybody knows you all know that, 300 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:21.920 but some say that it's them kind of I don't know, 301 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:28.279 bowing to the new administration and things like that. It 302 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.559 kind of makes it sound like, hey, it's a personal decision. 303 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.160 You do what you gotta do. Well, no, it's it 304 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.839 is a personal decision, but you're kind of working towards 305 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.079 being in a society that is looking for herd immunity. 306 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.799 I mean, yeah, it affects others. And you know, hey, 307 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:51.200 was I thrilled about getting my son vaccinated with the 308 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.480 COVID vaccine. No, it's a scary decision. No, I did it. 309 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:58.559 Didn't believe bad an eye for myself, but nor did 310 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.400 my wife. But when you think about your child, you're okay, 311 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.559 do I know enough about this? Am I? But you know, 312 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:09.400 I'm not going to become a doctor anytime soon, so 313 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:14.240 I'm going to have to trust one every single time 314 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.880 I go in for anything. So he kind of just 315 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:18.960 go ahead and do it. 316 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:20.920 Uh, Okay, Well. 317 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:22.440 A bad segue into this. 318 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.839 Yeah, here's one about trusting. A nine year old girl 319 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:31.279 in San Diego County has died after going to the dentist. 320 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.759 So she had a procedure didn't say specifically what it was, 321 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:39.319 and they put her under anesthesia. So the medical examiner 322 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.079 said that the child was moved to the recovery room 323 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.160 and then sent home, and the girl remained asleep, and 324 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.880 then later her family founder couldn't wake her up, found 325 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.079 her unresponsive, and she was pronounced dead at the hospital. 326 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.359 The Watkins the dentistry company or the dentistry office said 327 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.039 the child was charged in stable condition and awake with 328 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.559 stable vital signs and protective reflexes intact into her mother's care. 329 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.160 So the dentist office is saying she was awake. The 330 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:16.960 mother of the medical examiner says, Nope, she wasn't. Wow, 331 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:18.559 that's just so tragic. 332 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.960 And we don't know if there's any outside concerns, medical concerns, 333 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:29.079 or something else that might have played a factor. That's 334 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.200 scary as hell as apparently. 335 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.079 Sure, it's going to be investigated thoroughly to see what happened. 336 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.480 I can't imagine why they would discharge somebody who wasn't awake, Like, 337 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.119 if you've ever had a procedure, oh no, you know, 338 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.359 they make you be awake, They make you make sure 339 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.319 that you're not throwing up when you stand up that 340 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.319 kind of thing. I mean from the surgeries I've had, 341 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.200 they they watch it pretty closely before they say okay, 342 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.759 you can go home. 343 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.240 Yeah, I've never seen that. And you know, and I've 344 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:58.640 had maxiofacial surgery where it's pretty hardcore you know, mouthwork, 345 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.799 and they are very very focused on making sure you 346 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.640 are awake. So there, Yeah, something's sketchy going on for sure. 347 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:13.279 The Chinese military said just today it had launched joint 348 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:18.039 exercises involving its army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force. 349 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.039 There of course doing this around Taiwan as a stern 350 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.519 warning because they don't do any limpristed warnings. Stern warning. 351 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:32.160 Days after US Defense Chief Pete Haigseth vowed to counter 352 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:37.279 China's aggression when he was having his first visit there 353 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.839 to Asia. So meanwhile, you've got officials close to Trump 354 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.240 have repeatedly emphasized the need for the US to focus 355 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:49.599 its attention and resources, of course, on countering China's ambitions 356 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:55.960 in the Indo Pacific. So everybody's saber rattling and doing 357 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.559 their or sable if they like fox hare sable, right? 358 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.920 Is that what a sable is a little fox? 359 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.240 I think so. Yeah, that's where they get for like 360 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:09.759 sable brushes and sable fors. Do they still make those 361 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:17.599 sable brushes? I think so? Like for painting, Yeah, who knows, 362 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.359 we might have. 363 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.720 To google that. I don't think they're making the coats anymore, 364 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.640 at least not in the US. 365 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.759 Yeah, because for his murder, Yeah what if it was 366 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:27.480 self defense? 367 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.759 Okay?
