And then today we 173 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: are told from four to nine pm, do not plug 174 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: in your electric vehicle because why because it is a 175 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: major drain on the grid. And Governor gaviners some he 176 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: briefed a little while ago. I was supposed to do 177 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: it at ten o'clock this morning. Never showed up. Then 178 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: at two o'clock finally came in and did it. He says, 179 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a really rough week. We are 180 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: anticipating this extreme heat to be a length and duration 181 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: likes of which we haven't experienced in some time. Yes, 182 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: we're used to record breaking temperatures, maybe a day or 183 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: two more episodic, but this is an extended period. As 184 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: a consequence, it's going to require us to extend our thinking. 185 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: And so that's the thing. The problem, This one's gonna 186 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: last a while. And yet the wor only in day one. 187 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: Northern California really isn't even dealing with it yet. And 188 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: already we're in a flex alert and getting hotter through Sunday, 189 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: staying above a hundred degrees until late next week. Really, 190 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like relief until Thursday. He says. Hydro 191 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: electric generation has gone down. We know that from Lake 192 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: Mead because not as much water is going through. So 193 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: you add all that up, it gets even worse. We're 194 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: not getting his nuch power out of hydro electric dams. 195 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: And he says energy reliability becomes more and more challenging. 196 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: Energy reliability becomes more and more stressed because demand increases 197 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: at the same time supply decreases and all right, so 198 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: he signed an executive order today bring in more electricity. 199 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: He outlined that they've been spending the offseason buying up 200 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: electricity other areas bringing it in, talking megawatts and everything. 201 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: That means nothing to me, But basically the executive order 202 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: allows them to buy more, get rid of red tape. 203 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: So I get the Port of la ships don't have 204 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: to plug into electricity when they're at the port. They 205 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: can use their engines and they don't have to pull 206 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: whereas environmentally otherwise they have to shut down their engines 207 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: and pull off of portside electricity. So they won't have 208 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: to do that. But bottom line, we are in this 209 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: for the long haul. Tell about Thursday of next week, 210 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: cut back. Don't plug in your electric vehicle tonight because 211 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: apparently it pulls a lot off the grid. Despite what 212 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: they said last week. I had forgotten that you had 213 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: said that CARB claimed it only pulls one percent of 214 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: the electricity. When we're at where we are right now 215 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: with AC going and all the numbers way out there, 216 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: well here I even have it. When the board was 217 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: asked what about the grid and everything, and they said, 218 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We're going to take care of it. 219 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: We've got thirteen years where we'll deal with and I 220 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: think to those who raise opposition because of the grid 221 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: and technology challenges today, know that we continue to evaluate 222 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: those and that's at the core of the feasibility that 223 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: we are looking on. John, don't worry about it, the 224 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: board member says, that is at the core of In 225 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: the next thirteen years, they're going to figure out how 226 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: we can all plug in an electric vehicle between now 227 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: and then. And I've been right now California has quite 228 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: a few, but nothing compared to twenty thirty or twenty 229 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: thirty five. Right already we're being told don't plug him in, 230 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: that you're going to be pulling too much. Yeah, well, 231 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: what would he What Newsom neglects when he says about 232 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: the supply dwindlink is that we can create a much 233 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: larger supply. We just have to build the power generating facilities. Yeah, 234 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: the money's got to go into it. That he's really 235 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: into Diablo Nuclear Power Plant remaining open right now, which 236 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: goes against his supporters who are angry at him about 237 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: that keeping nuclear going. But he's saying we got to 238 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: do it. That for a little bit longer. We need 239 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: that energy. They don't want to shut that down, but 240 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: you're saying, no, get rid of it. And there were 241 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: three natural gas plants that were supposed to be closed 242 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: by now and he kept them open as well, I 243 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: think last year, and they're still open now. And yeah, 244 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: but we're not building a lot. We're buying a lot, 245 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: but we're not building a lot. Where are we buying 246 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: from the other Western states? Yeah, others. I don't know 247 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: how the whole deal works. He was talking to Mega 248 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: Watson the deals being made and that you can buy 249 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: it from states that have access and apparently people I 250 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: remember a few years ago, remember there was a panic. 251 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: We came really close to a blackout because the other 252 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: states didn't have any access because they were overloaded as well. 253 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: They they had the heat wave as badly as we did. Yeah, well, 254 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: he claims we've got the deals now so that contractually 255 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: they got to give it to us. And then he 256 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: talked about battery back up, that California's gotten a lot 257 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: better in I think it was four thousand kilowatt hours. Again, 258 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't understand it, but where he's saying that we've 259 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of batteries out there so that when 260 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: we generate it, we can store it and then use 261 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: it when we need to, just like a lot of 262 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: people have in their home. But if you've tried to 263 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: putting those in, my goodness, they're expensive. We're looking we're 264 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: putting in solar right now and Tesla power walls, and 265 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's saying, do that, generate your own store 266 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: it at night. Man. The jestament that they will give 267 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: you in that moment where you go, oh, for two 268 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: or three Tesla power walls, you're paying up the ying 269 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: yang for that. Yeah, and so it's not cheap for 270 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: most people. A lot of people can't do. No. No, 271 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: this one makes me crazy. It's the government's responsibility to 272 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: create the power source. Now they're saying, well, you know, 273 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm make your own power source at home. You go 274 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: and buy. But doesn't give him any breaks. The Feds do. 275 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: But I got a buddy in DC where they're putting 276 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: in solar, and he goes, you know what, we're only 277 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: spending three grand, said, I don't want to tell you 278 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: what we're spending to put it in that that California 279 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: doesn't isn't helping you out? And they're not. I thought 280 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: they had big tax breaks and federally they've been nothing 281 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: from the state here and there, but nothing big. Wow. Yeah, 282 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: that's just crazy. Everything's messed up all right? Anything else? Nope, 283 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: you got it. You covered all the disasters. Great, h yeah, 284 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: I think no. The only other thing would be Bell 285 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Bell High School. Uh they got broken AC. They're an 286 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: l a u s D over there, and uh look 287 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: at the field of temperatures out there and uh l 288 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: a USD. They say they spent three hundred million dollars 289 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: in the past five years to upgrade AC and that 290 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: Bell High School will get it next year. But they're 291 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: in there right now with broken AC. It's one hundred degrees. 292 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Here? Listen to this kid. You 293 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: can't concentrate good because it's hot, and like these people 294 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: around to say, okay and hot. So they're bringing in 295 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: uh portable AC units right now to try to help out, 296 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: but the kids are saying it doesn't help. But still 297 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: the hottest can be in those rooms and so imagine that. 298 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: No AC, that's that's crazy. I mean every Oh, this 299 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: is nuts. Alex, thanks very much, you got it. That's 300 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Alex Stone. Alex Stone, ABC News here for kfive. We 301 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: will continue on this and we'll talk a little more 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: about the fire and Castaic and the traffic closures, because 303 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: that seems to be developing in a bad way. Make 304 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: sure your electric car is unplugged. You can't use it 305 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: because we're running out of power today, says the governor. 306 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: So he does a bad job. He mandates electric cars 307 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: and then says you can't well again, your electric car 308 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: between four and nine o'clock, among all the other things 309 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: you can't use. Ah. Also in other news, we've got 310 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: a fire up in Castaic and it's closed down both 311 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: sides of the five freeway. And Angel Martinez is here 312 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: to tell us more about the traffic. Is everything still 313 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: closed or they trying to open up a lane at 314 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: a time? What's going on? Well, it is all still 315 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: shut down, John, And you know, I was just going 316 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: over the whole fire this afternoon, you know, started at 317 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: about noon today and slowly but surely they made their 318 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: way into shutting down the entire five freeway. So the 319 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: closure as it stands right now on the northbound side, 320 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: traffic is being diverted off the freeway at Parker Road. 321 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: So this is you know, coming up on the Lake 322 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: Hughes area, and I mean the Castaic Lake area southbound 323 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: is off limits at Vista Delago, so they'll take you 324 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: off the freeway there as well. That's a huge stretch 325 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: of the five that's closed. So I know they're directing 326 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: people how to get back on the five down the road, 327 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: or they're turning people around, because there are really no 328 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: alternates once you're off of the freeway in this area. 329 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's very few roads that run parallel to 330 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: the five, very few, very few. And the only roads 331 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: that are really you know, open that can get to 332 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: you across anywhere or like off road areas, so you know, 333 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: not everybody can travel those. But the alternates that Caltram 334 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: is stating and suggesting is the one thirty eight to 335 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: the fourteen. So what's happening at Fitzidelago. People are turning 336 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: around and heading back north, hobbing on the one thirty eight, 337 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: traveling eastbound to the fourteen and then south to connect 338 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: with the five. And they're doing, you know, just the 339 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: opposite on the northbound side, taking the fourteen up to 340 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: the one thirty eight and over to the five instead. 341 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: I see, And what's the condition of the fire. Yeah, 342 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: you got well, right now, two hundred and fifty acres. 343 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: There are evacuations under way and the evacuation the evacuations 344 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: are for people living in the Paradise Mobile Home Park 345 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: and all building south of Templin Highway along Upper Ridge 346 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Route Road, so they need to evacuate. And also two 347 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: firefighters have been taken to the hospital due to heat 348 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: related injuries. That's right, it's probably over one hundred degrees there, Yeah, 349 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: on top of fighting the fire. All right, very good, 350 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: Thank you angel, Thank you, Debrah. This is uh, why 351 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: to day we're having because we don't we don't have 352 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: we don't have a functioning government, is what it is, 353 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: and so we're pretty much every man for yourself. Uh, 354 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: let me see all right now you may have heard 355 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: we talked about this the other day. The FDIA has 356 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: authorized the new COVID booster shots and for FIGHTSER and 357 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: for maderna. Fightser is good for people twelve and over. 358 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: Maderna is good for people eighteen and over. You do 359 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: have to be worn though. These have not been tested 360 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: on humans yet, So if you don't mind taking a 361 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: medical injection, and it's only been tested on mice, you 362 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: can go for it. They're starting human trials, but it's 363 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: going to be a little while obviously before they get 364 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: through the human trials. They say it's very similar to 365 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: the first vaccines, but they tweaked it in order to 366 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: handle omicron and the omicron variants, the BA four, the 367 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: BA five, those things. Whether it work on any extra 368 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: variance that pop up, obviously nobody knows. But they said 369 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: the virus is evolving so quickly human trials would be 370 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: out of date before they could deliver results that could 371 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: be used in a decision. So because the human trials 372 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: are going to take so long, they wouldn't have the 373 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have the answers anyway, So what the hell, 374 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: Just start injecting people. Let's see what happens. That this 375 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: is crazy. They're relying on the results of mouse trials. 376 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: Uh huh, so I don't know. I guess if you're 377 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: very small, it's something about you resembles a mouse, maybe 378 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: your mousie looking, then you're probably safe. Um. Uh. It's 379 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: funny because they were so slow and meticulous at the 380 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: beginning and now it's uh, the government's given up. It's like, Harrett, 381 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: this is the best idea we've got good luck. So 382 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: that's happening. There other medical news and this is this 383 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: is this is fascinating. For the first time, According to 384 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: a Gallop pole, more Americans say they smoke pot than 385 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: cigarettes years ago. Back in the nineteen fifties, nearly half 386 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: of Americans smoked. Now it's down to eleven percent, but 387 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: sixteen percent of Americans are now smoking pot. And um, 388 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: most everyone's agreed that smoking, you know, gives you terrible diseases. 389 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: In fact, the last pole, one percent of smokers said 390 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: they wish they'd never started. About half the people in 391 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: the country have tried marijuana at some point, which is 392 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: a huge change. Back in nineteen sixty nine, only four 393 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: percent of the public had tried marijuana. I think that 394 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: four percent we're probably all the hippies that we're around 395 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties. The support to legalize marijuana has 396 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: hit sixty eight percent. So most of the country's in 397 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: favor of marijuana. Half has tried it, and about sixteen 398 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: percent about one out of every would that one every 399 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: six people are using it regularly. However, and we'll get 400 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: into this coming up after four thirty. That's just a 401 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: setup I gave you This is about marijuana. If you 402 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: smoke enough of it for a long enough period of time, 403 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: it might cause it might cause psychosis because there is 404 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: a lot more THHC in the pot today than there 405 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: used to be many years ago when maybe a smoke 406 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: smoked it as a teenager. So we'll get into a 407 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: pot leading to psychosis, which ironically was the scare films 408 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: that the American US government used to use back in 409 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties. They used to try to terrify people 410 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: not to use pot, and one of the arguments it 411 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: would make you crazy, and of course at the time 412 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: that was propaganda, but it worked on frightening the people. 413 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: It became the argument for making it illegal. A lot 414 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: of that's broken down since and now come these studies 415 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: that say, well, maybe maybe you can fall into psychosis 416 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: from from pot from the modern version of marijuana. Tell 417 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: you all about that. Coming up next, John and Ken 418 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Show Cafe. Yeah, that's a pretty strong fire that's burning 419 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: in Castaic in the mountains near Interstate five, which is 420 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: closed in both directions. We have our reporter, Blake Trolley 421 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: is on the way to that fire, so hopefully we 422 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: will hear from him soon. So we can get an update. 423 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: There's mandatory evacuations in certain areas there. They're diverting traffic 424 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: off the five southbound and northbound, and good luck because 425 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: there are not a lot of parallel roads. As you know, 426 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: a stake is right at the base of the grape 427 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: Vine as you're headed north from the La Basin, and 428 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: there's really nowhere to go once you get off the freeway. 429 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: Not good. Not a fun commute, No, not a fun commute. 430 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: You also have a power shortage, could have blackouts unless 431 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: everybody obeys the flex alert between four nine o'clock and 432 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: you have to start unplugging things like your air conditioner 433 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: and just sit at home and sweat and boil over 434 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: because the newsom doesn't know how to run a power system. Also, 435 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: forty of LA County you can't water. You have to 436 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: let everything die. Let your front lawn die, and your 437 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: trees and your plants. No watering for forty percent of 438 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: La County. You could look it up online to see 439 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: what cities. There's dozens and dozens of cities because a 440 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: pipe broke coming from the Colorado River and they've got 441 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: to fix that pipe. That's uh, that's that's your maintenance 442 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: system here. What else has gone wrong? Is that enough? Well, 443 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: it is really really hot out, yeah, and it's over 444 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: one hundred degrees in a lot of places, one hundred 445 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: twelve in my neck of the woods. Yeah. Well that house, 446 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna well, I forgot you're you're right, you're staying 447 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: the hell with Newsom. I don't care if we had blackouts. 448 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: My dogs are gonna stay cool. Hey, Angel Martinez was 449 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: saying she has her air conditioning on for her bird. 450 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, so we need to protect our path. 451 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: I know. I got a dog and a cat and 452 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: two lizards. Yeah, and two birds. But you said your 453 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: lizards like lizards are very happy in the heat. Yeah, yeah, 454 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: it can't get high. How cool is it here in 455 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: the in the radio station, they always keep it nice 456 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: on called. Yes, we're not complying with the flex alert. 457 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I doubt it. Oh that's not good. Gavin Newsom couldn't 458 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: lose his chance of the presidency here. Oh, I'm so scared. Oh. Oh, 459 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: and finally, and it's really the biggest news of the day. 460 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: If you have an electric car, you're not supposed to 461 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: plug it in. You wanted to go somewhere too bad? 462 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: You can't You can't get juiced up for the next 463 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: five hours or so. What if you need to evacuate 464 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: from the area where the firing. Oh, now that is 465 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: a that is a great point. Imagine you didn't plug 466 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: in your car because the governor said so, and then 467 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: they tell you to evacuate, but you don't have any 468 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: juice in your electric car. Wow. And all the times 469 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: people have to evacuate in southern California, and we're going 470 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: to have to rely on the electrical grid. And then 471 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: when it gets too hot, and it gets too hot 472 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: a lot around here there is no electrical grid that works, 473 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: and then you can't scape the fire. Looks like nobody's 474 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: thought anything through on all this. Anyway, we'll continue covering 475 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: all this stuff. I had mentioned before a few minutes 476 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: that a record number of people are now smoking pot. 477 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: In fact, more people are smoking pot than cigarettes. Sixteen 478 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: percent smoke pot regularly, eleven percent smoked cigarettes, although almost 479 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: half of the population is at least tried pot. And 480 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: here's some of the new research on this, and I'm 481 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: was surprised, but this is in Tablet magazine, and it 482 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: says that now they are marketing high potency THHC products 483 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: as marijuana, and people are suffering from psychosis. THC is 484 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: the active ingredient in pot. And back in the old 485 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: days of the hippies in the nineteen sixties, there was 486 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: only two percent THHC in their marijuana. By the nineties 487 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: it was closer to five percent. Twenty fifteen it was 488 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: over twenty percent. So and THHC is what stimulates your 489 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: brain and gives you a wonderful feeling. Now, they talked 490 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: to doctor Libby Stout and she said, for thirty years 491 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: he's been an addiction psychiatrist in Pueblo, Colorado. Jess retired 492 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: and she has treated everybody up there for a severe 493 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: drug dependency and she's seen it all alcohol, heroin, meth. 494 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: Than five years ago, remember, after they jacked up the 495 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: THHC to twenty percent, she started to see something new. 496 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: I started seeing people with the worst psychosis symptoms that 497 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: I had ever seen. And there's a woman who treats 498 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: a lot of meth addicts and the worst delusions I 499 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: have ever seen. The cases were more acute than what 500 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: she'd seen from psychotic patients on meth. This is great news. 501 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: This must be what's going on in the street too. 502 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: Some of the delusions were accompanied by severe violence, but 503 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: they would test the patience and they would only come 504 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: up positive for cannabis. She wasn't alone. Remember, Colorado was 505 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: the first state to legalize hot which means they have 506 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: more data than anybody else. Bren Court ran an addiction 507 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: recovery center in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He watched a young 508 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: guy jump on a table in the emergency room and 509 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: stripped naked. He announced he was the god of thunder, 510 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: and he was threatened to kill everyone in the room, 511 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: including two police officers. A collegiate athlete that ben Court 512 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: worked with also had a psychotic episode and was shot 513 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: five times by police with a beanbag gun. Here in 514 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: La County, Blue Store is a psychiatric social worker. They 515 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: had a who climbed a seven hundred foot crane and 516 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: considered jumping off of it. Not because he was suicidal, 517 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: because he but he had thought he was in a 518 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: computer simulation like the matrix. You never got any of 519 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: this from your edibles, did you know? I had other issues? 520 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: If I see you climbing up naked on a crane, 521 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: then I didn't do that, then we'll know you've got 522 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: a bad badge. So twenty twelve, Colorado legalized pot and 523 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: since then eighteen other states have followed suit billions. It's 524 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: a billion dollar industry smokable, edible, drinkable cannabis products. And 525 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: addiction doctors and relatives of addicts says, for certain people, 526 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: it's become a hardcore drug like cocaine or methamphetamine, overdose, 527 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: psychosis and suicidal behavior. Wow. Doctor ronnet Lev, an addiction 528 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: medicine doctor in San Diego, he said, I got into 529 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: addiction medicine because of the opioid crisis. She advocated against 530 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: the overprescription of OxyContin. Now she's seeing the same thing 531 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: all over again, the false claims of medical benefits and 532 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: the denial of adverse effects. Whether it's big tobacco or 533 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: big pharma or big marijuana, it's the same people in 534 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: the same pattern, and they go through what I said before. 535 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: It went from two percent THHC in the sixties to 536 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: five percent in the nineties. By twenty fifteen it's over 537 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: twenty percent. And and also all these cannabis products are 538 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: not really marijuana because the kind of cannabis products that 539 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: are sold online and that dispensaries don't actually contain any 540 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: plant matter. They're made by pulverizing marijuana into a tube 541 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: and then running butane, propane, ethanol, or carbon dioxide through it, 542 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: which separates the THHC from the rest of the plant. 543 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: The end product is a wax that can be seventy 544 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: to eighty percent TAC. Then they put it in a 545 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: vacuum oven concentrate it into oils that are as much 546 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: as ninety five or ninety nine THC. This is known 547 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: as dabs. It's what people put in their vapepens, and 548 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: it's legal in California. In Colorado no caps on potency. 549 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: And if today teenagers are dabbing, that's three. It's a 550 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: product that's three, four or five times stronger than the 551 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: weed from twenty years ago. And the impact of the 552 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: drug on a user's brain is an entirely different category 553 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: of risk. You get irrational, anxious symptoms, paranoia, and eventually 554 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: you can have a psychotic episode, and if you keep 555 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: it up, you could become permanently schizophrenic or bipolar. There 556 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: you go, why are you looking at me? Go crazy? 557 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: This weekend? Let's see what happened. I have not had 558 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: an edible in a very long time. You start getting 559 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: too woozy from it. I told you I passed out 560 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: after SIPs. Well, no, I had. I had an alcoholic 561 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: beverage and then I wanted to relax when I got home, 562 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: and I had a tiny bit of an edible, and well, 563 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: let's relaxed when you're passed out. I mean you got there. Yeah, 564 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: I hit my head. How many milligrams was the edible? Five? Oh, 565 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: that's nothing, I know. I think it was a little more. Actually, 566 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: maybe seven, it was. I split. I have ten milligrams 567 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: and usually I take half, but I think I took 568 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: a little more than half that time. It was a 569 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: stupid thing to do seven milligrams in a glass of wine, 570 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: and I have sleep issues and my back hurt, so 571 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: that's why I was just trying to chill out and 572 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: a backfire. So she was standing on the roof naked. 573 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: I was screaming at the moon. No, no, All right, 574 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: more coming up John and Ken show. We learned in 575 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: the last segment that maybe the reason some of the 576 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: people are acting as psychotic here on the streets of 577 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: Los Angeles is not just the meth and heroin, but 578 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: it may be the supercharged pot that they're smoking or 579 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: eating because it's much higher in THHC and this psychosis 580 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: is affecting normal people too. But we all know we're 581 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: seeing behavior out in the streets that we never used 582 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: to see before. One of the other sources of people 583 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: laying in the streets half dead is the fentanyl coming 584 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: over the border. And if you can get that clip 585 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: ready in a second, because we talked about this a 586 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: lot yesterday. There was a long story about how there's 587 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: two major drug cartels that are involved in a multi 588 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: billion dollar business manufacturing fentinyl and sending it over here 589 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: to the United States, and they have a huge distribution 590 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: network and it's cheap to make, and it's easy to make, 591 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of it. And you know, we 592 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: got over one hundred thousand people dying from opioid overdose 593 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: and a majority of that is from illegal opioids. A 594 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: lot of that is fentanyl. Well, Peter Ducey from Fox 595 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: News got into it with the White House Press Secretary 596 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: Karen Jean Pierre. She started he started talking about the 597 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: cartels and the fentanel, and she had a response. Listen 598 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: to this. There's a big problem now. The rainbow fentanel, 599 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: which is designed the two target children has been found 600 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: in eighteen states. What specifically is the president doing about this? 601 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: So we just talked about the day, the overdose Awareness 602 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: Day that we are observing today. I just laid out 603 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: what the second Gentleman and others are doing within this administration. 604 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: And you know, we are going to continue to focus 605 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: on the steps that we're taking that we have taken. 606 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: And you have the eighty million dollars that DHS just 607 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: announced today on drug prevention, and the President has taken 608 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: many steps. He's made this a priority to make sure 609 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: that we attack a very lot of words dangerous, very 610 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: dangerous jogs cerius drugs in this country. But three hundred 611 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 1: overdoses a day. Now, we know how the fentanyl is 612 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: coming into the country. It's coming right across the southern border. 613 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: The DA administrator says, So when is the president going 614 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: to do something? So I will say that we have 615 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: seen a two hundred percent increase of fentanyl seizures, which 616 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: means that we are doing the job of catching a 617 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 1: drug traffickers two hundred percent. Hold on, two hundred percent increase. 618 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: Light seizures are going down at a rate not seen 619 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: in a century. And part of that is being driven 620 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: by drug overdoses. So what is the president today? And 621 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: we agree, we agree, we see those same numbers as well. 622 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: But the fact that you're you know, we are securing 623 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: the border, of the fact that we are securing record 624 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: levels of funding from DHS so you can stop illicit 625 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: drugs from entering into the country, to the fact that 626 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: traffickers that were doing no Jesus more words, salad. Wow, 627 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: it's overdose Awareness Day. That's what you do to stop 628 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people from dying. They just don't have 629 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: enough awareness. The rainbow fentinel that Doucy mentioned, we were 630 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: talking about that yesterday, probably the same article being discussed there. 631 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: They look like little candies. They're all different colors. They 632 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: look really cool to a little kid. Hey do you 633 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: want the red one or the yellow one or the 634 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: blue one? Spent a d ill? Then they die. What 635 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: do you say, three hundred people a day dying. It's 636 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: overdose Awareness Day. Please be aware that you've overdosed and 637 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: you're lying half dead on the ground. At least be 638 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: aware because this is the special day. When we come 639 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: back after five o'clock. Well, let's see, you have your 640 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: pick of disasters here. We got the big fire, big 641 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 1: traffic jam from the big fire. We've got the potential 642 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: big blackout from the big shortage of power, the shortage 643 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: of water, and the shortage of any brains in our government. 644 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: So it'll be the hour of shortage is coming up. 645 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show.
