We got something here which I 32 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: haven't heard yet. Sometimes things get put together right before 33 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: the show, and sometimes I don't want to hear it. 34 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I want to have my first reaction on the air, 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: so we'll have the first reaction together. I saw a 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: post by Jonathan had Tommy this morning. He is a 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: deputy DA working under Gascon and he is one of 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: the leading candidates to replace Gascon and his X post 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: Everybody in the Newspapers writes he posted on x formerly 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: known as Twitter. Tommy writes GASCON held a press conference 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: today in downtown lad George Gascon about cold case murders, 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: which quickly turned into a press conference about the numerous 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: smash and grab robberies and burglaries in La County and 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Gascon's soft on crime approach. Gascon immediately went on the defensive, 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: scolding one reporter and trying to say that wrongdoers will 46 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: be held accountable. He became frustrated and livid at the 47 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: questioning from the media, telling them to look at his record. Now. 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: His record includes ten thousand cases that he hasn't processed yet. 49 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: There's a backlog of ten thousand cases, and most of 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: them he's never going to process because that's not what 51 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: he does. He doesn't process criminal charges. Now. I don't 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: know exactly how many guys were running around at the 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: North Stroms in Canoga Park, at the Tapanga Mall there. 54 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: I've heard reports thirty to fifty. There was also a 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: crowd of about thirty at Rick Caruso's Americana Mall and 56 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: Glendale running around the East c Laurent store. And then 57 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: there was the Gucci situation right and then somebody told 58 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: me that Apple at Century City also got some kind 59 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: of crime was committed there a few weeks back. So 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of these guys running around. How much 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: you want to bet they have unprosecuted cases in that 62 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: ten thousand case pile, I guess going as ten thousand 63 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: cases piled up on his desk, actually piled up right, 64 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: it's like fourteen stories high, ten thousand cases. And I 65 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: bet you those guys running around doing this and grab 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: spraying their bear spray have some unintended business that Gascone 67 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: never got around to. But here he is. Now, we 68 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: got a clip here and we're just going to stop 69 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: and start it and see where it goes. This is 70 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: George gascon. 71 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: Concerning this massion grabs. I'm going to tell you that 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: I'm personally. 73 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 5: Outraged, but what is going on. 74 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 4: We are working with law enforcement. We need to have 75 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 4: arrest made right, we're prosecutors, but we have a team 76 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: of people that have been working in the Glendale case 77 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: and other cases. 78 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 5: We will continue to do so. 79 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 4: We assign or Organized Crime Division to work in those 80 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: cases about a year and a half ago. We view 81 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: them as organized crime and we will use every tool 82 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 4: available under the law when there is an arrest made 83 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: to make sure that these individuals are hell accountable. This 84 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: is unacceptable behavior in a civilized society. This is impacting 85 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: the well being of our entire community. My family, like yours, 86 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 4: frequents these establishments. We have young kids in the family 87 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 4: that go to the malls sometimes to hang out and 88 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: what has occurred is unacceptable, and those that are committing 89 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 4: these crimes will be held accountable. I have full faith 90 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: in our police departments. I know they're working very aggressively 91 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: to make arrest and what they do. Once they do, 92 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: my office will be working with them to make sure 93 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: that we hold people accountable. I will raise a point though, 94 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: because I think it bears mentioning this. There's a whole 95 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: ecosystem to these activities. 96 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Right. 97 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: There are people in our community that know who these 98 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: people are and they need to come forward. There are 99 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: people in our community that are buying the stolen goods 100 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: and they need to be held accountable as well. And 101 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: I will tell you that from my point of view, 102 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: whether you're buying the stolen goods, you're stealing them. I 103 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 4: looked at it as you are part of the problem. 104 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: So the message that I want to see, and I 105 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 4: hope it's a lot of clear message. There are people 106 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: out there that know who these folks are. They need 107 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 4: to come to our police department, whether it's a Glendale 108 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: Police department, the LAPD, or the sheriff, depending on where 109 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 4: the case occurred. 110 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 5: We will be ready to work with our. 111 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 4: Police and our sheriff to make sure that people are 112 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: held account But I'm looking at this not only as 113 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: those that are stealing the goods, but those that are 114 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: selling and purchasing these things. If somebody is selling you 115 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: a forty dollars perse for three or four hundred dollars, 116 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: there has to be something wrong with that picture. 117 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're missing out. 118 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 4: It is either funny and you're being taken advantage of 119 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 4: or as stolen. There is a market out there for 120 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 4: this merchandise, and I am very committed to dealing with 121 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: a market as well as dealing with those that are. 122 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 5: We need your help as well. Thank you so much. 123 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: It depends on the case because it will depend on 124 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: the history of the individuals, but we are looking at 125 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: every tool, including conspiracy. 126 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 5: We will look at every tool. 127 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 6: What what do you say to the person who points 128 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 6: a finger at use saying that there are people in 129 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: this community who believe they can get away with serious 130 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 6: crime in La County and not be held account. 131 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: Well, I would ask you the question, what would you 132 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 4: tell them when you just heard me speaking right now, 133 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 4: because I think you have a responsibility also for addressing 134 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 4: it right, so I would hope that you do.

It 212 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: was a press conference, see the reporters hijack press conference, 213 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: and it was nice to see Los Angeles reporters finally 214 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: taking on a public official. I can't remember the last 215 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: time I heard that, because it usually seems that only 216 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: a CAFI reporter is given a public official a hard time. 217 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: Rarely do you hear anybody else doing it. But in 218 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: this case Gascone, what he wanted to do is I 219 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: forget what his original thing was. It was, Oh, it 220 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: was supposed to be about cold case murders, but the 221 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: reporters just wanted to know about the smash and grabs, 222 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: the one at Nordstrom's, the one that you've sele on 223 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: Glendale and he got really defensive.

That's what I want to know, 230 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: that they're taken out of circulation for a long time. 231 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: Was the maximum number of charges? What's the maximum number 232 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: of years you could put them away? That's what I 233 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: want to know. I mean, they were armed with bear spray, 234 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: and everyone's terrorized. I mean it's been now a week 235 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: or two.

And and it's 247 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: it's like a big metal gate type of rack.

Why would they 271 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: and why would we trust the numbers anyway? I mean, 272 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: guess going and all the other public officials in La 273 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: constantly lie. And there's nothing they lie more about than crime. 274 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: They're always distorting numbers, they're always downplaying. I've never heard 275 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: a public official admit any any truth about the extent 276 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: the severity of the crime here in La.

He's into re sentencing, 282 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: going back in history and removing charges, re sentencing charges. 283 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: We know he does that.

I mean the first line 323 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: maybe the dullest headline I've ever seen, a diary of 324 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: her plastic use. Wow, Wow, that's fascinating. I hope she 325 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: publishes it. But then to find out it was soul crushing, well, 326 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, how could using plastic be soul crushing? 327 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: And then you know they have this new thing now 328 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: where all these first person climate change or environmental stories 329 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: when when you go on the website, they're in a 330 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: different color, right, It's not black on white. They have 331 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: other colors, you know, maybe a pale green or a yellow, 332 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: or bize or something to let you know that this 333 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: is different here. Okay, So here is the revelation from 334 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: Suzanne rust plastic is everywhere. Okay, you can tell this 335 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: is right. This is headed for a pulitzer. She writes. 336 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: It's in our bodies, our lung tissue, our blood, and 337 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: in the dark tarry first defecation of newborns. So if 338 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: you have a newborn baby, the first poop out of 339 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: them has got plastic in it. It's been discovered in 340 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: the deepest recesses of the ocean and in the snow 341 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: of pristine alpine peaks. And meadows. It's in the wind, 342 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: in the dust, in the air we breathe, and in 343 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: our drinking water and food. Small bits and minuscule strings 344 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: of plastic have become so pervasive, so pervasive and omnipresent. 345 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: It now cycles through the earth in a manner akin 346 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: to global bio geochemical cycles like water, carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen. 347 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: So the the way water and oxygen circulate through the earth. 348 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: Now you have small bits of plastic. And there are 349 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: horrifying statistics about plastic. By the year twenty fifty, there's 350 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: going to be more plastic byweight in the ocean than fish. 351 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: Every week a person consumes five grams of plastic. That's 352 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the size of a credit card on average. We pass 353 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: and we're back to the poop here. Eight hundred to 354 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: one thousand plastic bits a day in our poop. Seems 355 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: like that would hurt thousand plastic bits a day. It's 356 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: like that's that's got to cause a little abrasion there. 357 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: And plastic never fully decomposes. And it says for fifty 358 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: years bodies of border have accumulated a continually growing pile 359 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: of plastic waste. As an environments reporter, I'm acutely aware 360 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: of the problem. I read about it constantly and worry 361 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: about it frequently. Another all these people are miserable. They 362 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: are It's like the COVID writers. They're all terrified. They're 363 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: all miserable. They think they're boiling over from the climate. 364 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: The plastic is built up in their poop. I'm surprised, thinking, 365 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: poop bag, if you've got a thousand bits of plastic, 366 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: I would think that would block up your colon for 367 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: a good long while. At some point this spring, an 368 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: editor from The Times called me and we talked about 369 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: the possibility of me writing a story about plastic and 370 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: setting aside a week and chronicling my daily plastic interactions. 371 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: Go to the West Side, you'll have a lot of 372 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: plastic interactions. Just talk to people in the Starbucks line. 373 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of So anyway, she started doing it. 374 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: Here's all her play. Here's the beginning of her plastic list. 375 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: The clip for my hair airpod's case, the plastic on 376 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: a tea kettle. Windows are glass, but the casings are 377 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: vinyl bird decals on the windows to keep the birds 378 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: from running into the glass. See that's a good thing, right, 379 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: keep the birds alive. But the decals are plastic. The 380 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: computer casing, the monitor, this is a good one. The 381 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide monitor. She actually keeps tracking the carbon dioxide 382 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: at her house. She keeps tracking the global warming over 383 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: her house with the windows open. Right now, it's reading 384 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty nine parts per million. Okay. Her 385 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: corless phone chargers, plastic, all the USB cords, the mouse, 386 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: the mouse pad, the cone around her dog's head. It's 387 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: an odd way to decorate your dog. Oh, we just 388 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: had surgery. I see. 389 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you don't when you when your dog 390 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 2: will scratch the incision, you put a cone around their head. 391 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I put a cone on his head, 392 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: just for fun second so I can mock him. Let 393 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: you got a cone on your head? Look ridiculous. Her pants, 394 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: she suspects or have a plastic in it. And she 395 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: then she flew on a plane and there was no 396 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: escaping single use plastics in the airport or on the airplane. Oh, 397 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: listen to this. While waiting at the gate, my husband 398 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: went to get us some food for the flight. He 399 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: returned with three plastic clamshell boxes containing healthy, organic food. Yeah, 400 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: she doesn't know. She's she's a screaming stereotype. All right, 401 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: you'd be into the help organic food. Yeah, do you 402 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: have Do you have a plastics diary? I don't. You don't. 403 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: Do you have a carbon dioxide I don't have a diary? Okay, 404 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: And so as nuts as I think you are, you're 405 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: nowhere near as nuts as this lady. 406 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:08,959 Speaker 3: Thanks. 407 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: I think I mean that is a compliment. 408 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've had better compliments. 409 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: The flight attendant poured my drink into a single use 410 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: plastic cup. I sat and calculated the waste from this 411 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: one flight. One hundred and twenty people on board, most 412 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: people getting two drinks, So let's say two hundred plastic cups. 413 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: And that's not counting the meals, which are all wrapped 414 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: in a plastic shrink wrap. Multiply that by one hundred 415 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: thousand flights on any given day. Oh my god. Why 416 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: do these people live in the modern world? Why don't 417 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: they go to the middle of you know, the Amazon 418 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: rainforest and dig a hole. Uh, let me take a break. 419 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: I've got more from this loon coming up. John and 420 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Ken KFI. 421 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 8: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 422 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 8: AM six forty. 423 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: Down the radio one till four, and then after four 424 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: o'clock I Heart ap Johnny Ken undemanded podcast for which 425 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: you missed. After two o'clock, Royal Oaks from ABC give 426 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: a rundown on all the charges against Trump. They are 427 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: now fort trials scheduled for next year during the election cycle, 428 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: so that that's going to be entertaining. So we've got 429 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: another series in another chapter in the series of stories 430 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: from the Elsa Gunda Times having their climate writers, their 431 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: environment writers write an extensive piece on what they're terrified of. 432 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: And we were talking about Suzanne Rust who got the 433 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: assignment to chronicle her plastic use for a week from 434 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 1: one of these wacky editors, and apparently it was really traumatic, 435 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: was going on a plane and seeing how many people 436 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: use plastic cups. She says two hundred plastic cups were 437 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: used on the flight, and then when she came back 438 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: home she couldn't escape the plastic and she wrote, buying 439 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: pasta for dinner, guess what the back of the spa 440 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: the box of the spaghetti brand I enjoy has a 441 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: plastic window cut out of the cardboard box in a 442 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: little window where you could see the type of see 443 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: if it's RIGATONI or angel hair. Uh, she got upset 444 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: over that. If you're gonna get upset over a little 445 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: plastic square in your spaghetti box, what are they supposed 446 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: to do? Make a glass? I the chicken I bought 447 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: for a curry dish wrapped in plastic on a polystyrene tray. 448 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: When I went to shop for produce, I ordinarily would 449 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: have bought a box of organic leafy greens, which come 450 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: in a plastic single use clamshell type container, but mindful 451 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: of all the plastic I was collecting in my shopping cart, 452 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: I elected instead to buy heads of lettuce and spinach. Fortunately, 453 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: in my local grocery store has compostable plastic bags for produce, 454 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: a luxury not available at the larger chain supermarket I 455 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: usually shop at. And then she noticed she's a swimmer 456 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: and everything she uses for swimming as plastic goggles, swim cap, 457 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: the suit, the thin the paddles. She talks about, well, 458 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: she's a breast cancer survivor and she has plastic as 459 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: part of the reconstruct surgery. And then she says, looking 460 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: at the accumulation of plastic, my family and I had 461 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: a mast over the week. I live with my husband together, 462 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: we have five teenagers. Oh my god. Well, look, you 463 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: can't over reproduce. If you are terrified about plastic use 464 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: and emission's use, you cannot contribute five more bodies to 465 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: the world. Here. It was hard not to get overwhelmed. 466 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: Anybody had a day like this, anybody like list all 467 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: the plastic they have throughout the day and then get overwhelmed. 468 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: This is not a mental patient. US studies show that 469 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: only five percent of the fifty million tons of annual 470 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: plastic waste gets recycled. So there's fifty million tons of 471 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: plastic and I don't and you know the when you 472 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: when you do stick stuff in a recycling bin, they 473 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: don't recycle that anymore. There's no market for a recycled 474 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: plastic very little. China stopped accepting our shiploads of recycled plastic, 475 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: and there's no other country. Or it's just too expensive, 476 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 1: it's a waste of time. I've read multiple articles. If 477 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: this lady's an environmental expert, she should know by now 478 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: that that whole plastic recycling industry, that's another scam. Nobody 479 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: does that anymore because there's no profit in it. O. 480 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: God, So when do you think our blue cans will 481 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: go away. 482 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: The blue cans will never go away. But all the 483 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: stuff you put in the blue cans ends up in 484 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: the landfill anyway.
