  Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: F Good Morning, Everybody.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Bill Handled here on a Wednesday morning at July twenty nine.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Some of the big stories we are looking at the
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: wildfires in Europe, Spain and France. One climate expert says,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: this is just the beginning of what Europe is going
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: to see and the rest.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Of the world.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Have you noticed the people the argument that climate change
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: is no longer is a fraud and is not really here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: That's simmer down a bit, hasn't it. Don't hear a
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: whole lot about climate change being a hoax anymore? And
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: it's and well, look what's happening in the mid East.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Look on the Eastern seaboard, the storms, the tornadoes that
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: are going on, very very tough. Okay, Now the latest
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: with the United States in Iran. Haven't talked about that
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: for a couple of days. And yesterday there was a
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: surprise attack missile attack targeting US forces in Jordan from Iran,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and there were five intercepted missiles and there was no damage,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: There were no injuries because they were successfully intercepted. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of things that is going on a little
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: bit bigger picture is this shows that the Islamic Revolutionary
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Guard Corps, the ICRG of Iran, this is not the military,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: It is the Revolutionary Guard, which now basically controls the country.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: They control half of the entire economy. And this is
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the group that are the most radical and they actually
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: have by far the most influence. And here is what's
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: going on. As the President says we've already gotten regime
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: change in Iran, that's absolutely not true. There is no
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: regime change now. The senior leaders gone and the secondary
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: leaders also gone. But this is well nature of bars
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a vacuum, and as soon this is the hydra, as
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: soon as you cut one head off to come into
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: place of the snake. And that's what's going on right now.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: And in fact, the hardliners, the ICRG, is more entrenched
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: than ever before, not only in terms of power, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: in terms of philosophy. They have come to the realization
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: that they are winning by not losing. That's their win. See,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: we have to win by winning. They don't, and they're
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: playing the much longer game. The president is between a
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: rock and a hard place here, man, he's what do
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you do now? This war is not ending, no matter
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: how he says, well, ready to come to the table.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: They are desperate for a deal.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to blow them to smithereens if they don't
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: come to the table and kind of deal with us.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: The strait of horror moves is open and.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We control it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You can say all you want, and of course not
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: one of that, not one word is true about that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So it's a lot of fantasy land, or if not
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: fantasy land, a lot of denial, or just a lot
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: of pablum that's flowing from the administration in terms of
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: what's gone on. Here's the reality. The ICRG is the IRCRG,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I r CG Revolutionary the Revolutionary Guard Corps is more entrenched,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: more part powerful, more hard.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Line than it has ever been.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: They are and have been willing to crush down the demonstrations.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: There was a time when there was a demonstration a
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: few months ago, ten thousand people were mowed down on
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the streets by the military and the Revolutionary Guard. There
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: are no more demonstrations in Iran. That doesn't exist anymore.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And you have attacks not only on US forces but
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: also on neighboring countries in the Mideast. They're going all
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the way and there is no reason for them to stop.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: They are prepared. And here is the difference.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: The President actually cares, and he does about Americans and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: lives are sacrisanct, and he does believe that there's a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: political issue here too. But the Revolutionary Guard, those in
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: charge of Iran do not care how many people die,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: how many people starve, do not care about the economy
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: of Iran. Why because they control it. They do find,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, that the more restrictive it is,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the more money they make, because everything is black market
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and they control that. And in terms of the military,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: they've come to the forefront. It used to be that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Iran the United States, I mean real huge enemies. Of course,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: have been since nineteen seventy nine with a revolution, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: there really wasn't conflict between the two countries. I mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: there were there proxies. Hezballah and the Hutis caused a
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: lot of trouble, but it really blew up when Iran
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: was attacked by Israel and the United States and then
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Okay, now we're in war. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: it doesn't help that the president changes his mind every
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: two days. I'm going to bomb them out of existence.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to attack civilian targets. I'm not going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: attack civilian targets. It's going to happen next Wednesday. It's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: not going to happen Wednesday. It's going to happen soon.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: If they don't come to the table. They want to
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: come to the table. They're desperate for a deal. I mean,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: we are literally getting that day by day. And while
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: that is happening, the Revolutionary Guard is in charge of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: everything becoming more powerful. And here is a little factoid
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that a lot of people don't realize or don't know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: is that when the head Honcho, the Supreme Leader, Ali Ramani,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: who is the was the Grand Puba of Iran when
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: he was killed, his son Muchabah Hamioni became the Supreme Leader.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: We don't even know how he was chosen. I guess
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: there's some council there that decides who is going to be.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But it was going to be a son no matter. What.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Did you know that he was part of the Revolutionary Guard.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: He came out of the Revolutionary Guard. What does that
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: tell you? We haven't seen him, by the way, in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: public because he was there when his father was killed.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: He was at that meeting, and we know that he
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: was wounded, and it could be shrapnel, it could be
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: his face looks like a Pepperoni pizza for all I know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: And they're not going to show him in public at
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: this point. But the bottom line is this is going
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to hell in a handbasket for President Trump and the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: midterms are coming and this is not good news. How
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: does he get out of this one man, there's no
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: easy way to get out. Does he just pull out,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: declare victory? Does he negotiate the straight of horror moves
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: finally getting open? It was open before this started. I mean,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I can go on and on, but I won't because
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I could go on and on and I can only
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: do so much of it. Right, Okay, let me tell
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you what's going on with the Los Angeles Police Department.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Starting last April, public records related to the LAPD began
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: disappearing from a website belonged to the city, Audio recordings
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: of emergency dispatch calls, emails, text messages from high ranking
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: cops and expert looking at this sad. You know, the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: LAPD is no longer posting files that were previously made available.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Nicholas Shapiro a professor at UCLA was going through the
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: city's online data portal one day and he said, well,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: wait a second, there was something odd here because there
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: was a whole trove of LAPD records that used to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: be posted online, and all of a sudden, there are
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: nowhere to be found, and the records were no longer
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: being published on next request. This is the records portal
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: of la the city. Now, these records were posted online
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: every day based in response to requests for members of
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the public. And according to Shapiro, these new files stopped
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: around April, while other city agencies were releasing those records regularly.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Now next request, those records on next Request offered a
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: window into the inner working of the police department. As
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I said, we're talking about emails, calls, we're talking about
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: records that are being kept. The lat PD has been
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: pretty opaque historically, and according to Shapiro, he said, they're
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: now even more of a black hole of information. The
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: postings of record requests submitted to the LAPD has also
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: gone down from two fifty, from four to sixty a
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: month to to fifty a month. And why is that, Well,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: because they're no longer available. This is not particularly good
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: news now. Watchdogs of the LAPD argue that these public
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: records that were posted almost every day on the website
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: allowed residents to evaluate how the LAPD and other city
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: agencies are performing and look for ways to improve it
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: or to nail them, or to find out what's wrong.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And this was these records were used by journalists, lawyers, academics,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: advocacy groups like the ACLU. But anybody can request it
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: under the California Public Records Acts, any one of us.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And here are the rules.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, once an agency receives a request for information, it
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: has to respond within ten days and saying does this
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: information even exist?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And can it be released?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And if the city officials, they must also disclose whether
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: they intend to withhold requested records and if so, give
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: statutory or legal reasons for doing so. But once an
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: agency decides okay, the records are public, it must release
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: them promptly.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: That's the word.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a problem too because of the records that
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: are being released.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: That is really slowed down.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Now, there are some exceptions and under unusual circumstances where
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: they have additional fourteen days, but they have to explain
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the unusual circumstance assts, and that in of itself can
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: get a little tricky.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So what is going on?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you've got the problem of the
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: records aren't on there. The other reason is the delays
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: in producing records that are there. The LAPD chief Jim
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: McDonald said that the reason that the review and release
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: of the information is so delayed is because the department
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: is grossly understaffed.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: That is the problem.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: He said, the department was looking for opportunities to leverage
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: technology from AI to address the backlog. To give you
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: an idea of this particular group within LAPD that releases
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: information or not, the number of employees responsible for processing
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: those records have gone from twenty seven to seventeen employees,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: so we're not going to get much.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the number of the amount.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Of records that we are being able to get has dropped,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: even in this age of transparency. Now, does that mean
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: anything is wrong? Not really, not really. But does that
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: mean that we're not getting the information that here before
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: we got?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is Is it legal for them to withhold yes?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Is the issue of promptly can that be bessiage?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: But the bottom line, it just doesn't look good. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the LAPD also, I mean the LAPD has had a history.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Boy is that had a history. The only thing the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: LAPD did regularly. Did you know here's a factoid. Did
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: you know that the LAPD has won more awards for
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the best dressed officers of a major police department in
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the country. They've won more than any other police department. Nifty.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You know, that's just those uniforms are just nifty nifty. Okay,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: what about them Dodgers? What do you think?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, this July twenty ninth, today at Winda's Bobblehead Night,

• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Back to you? Bill? Oh yeah, yes, welcome back everybody.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: It is July and twenty nine. As you'll just pointed out,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: sorty just came out. I want to share with you
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: before we dive into the CEO new kind of CEO,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: which is the old kind of CEO, and that is
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: there is going to be a flight from Sydney to London.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Quantus is doing it twenty two hours. The plane will
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: be in the air. I mean, can you imagine sitting
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: on an airplane for twenty two hours in coach.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: That is going to be a rough one.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: But planes are extraordinary in terms of where they can fly,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and we're getting very close to the plane can fly
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: anywhere in the world pretty close because they go either
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: they go east to west. You see how that works.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: All you have to do is fly halfway across. Let
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: me explain the science there, No, let me not. Okay,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: let me tell you what is going on with CEOs.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: There's something new, there's something old. And this has to
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: do with old CEOs coming back to run companies. So
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: last January there was a head hunter started calling restaurant
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: injury industry executives, retired ones, would you come to Cracker
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Barrel as the next CEO? And they ended up selecting
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: a sixty nine year old former restaurant executive to being
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the new CEO of Cracker Barrel. And here's what's going on,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: because these boards of directors, these major corporations are calling
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: in retire chief executives to engineer these turnarounds. It's when
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: companies go into the toilet that they're doing that. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it's not just Cracker Barrel. And there's a whole story
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: about Cracker Barrel that I'll get to in a second.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: But you've got.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Boeing, Verizon have all gone to retired CEOs.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And why is that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, someone who has run the company
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: before successfully or other companies successfully and retires comes back
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and brings instant credibility that you have a successful CEO
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: experience in that role. And so that makes a lot
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: of sense. But how about the executives themselves. They retired
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: and they have tons of money. I mean, CEOs of
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: major corporations when they retire, they do not retire poor.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: But it's staying in the game running a major corporation
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: of hundreds of thousands employees. That's exciting stuff. I mean,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: these decisions. You're flying around in corporate jets. You are
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: basically a rock star in the industry, and then you
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: retire and all of a sudden, whoops, I'm retired now,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: head of data, data benchmarking and analytics at this conference
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: board that meets on a regular basis about this issue. Says,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure there's such a thing as a
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: retired CEO in the US, because in this country, CEOs
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: don't really retire. They become professional directors and they came back.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: So now Cracker Barrel okay, with the CEO, Julie Massino,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel changed its entire its entire philosophy as well
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: as entire marketing campaign. It got rid of its old
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: country image and the logo. And what she did is
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: try to update the look and the menu to reach
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: a younger audience, and that backfired completely. A lot of
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: people pissed off, including President Trump, big fan of Cracker Barrel,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: arguing that the chain was abandoning its country heritage. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: guess what she's out, Oh, innocently, she is out for
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: failing miserably. She's collecting four point six million dollars in
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: exit payments. Exit payments, just like they do here at iHeart,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: because when you get fired, they give you millions of
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: dollars in exit payments.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Didn't she lose like one hundred million dollars in a
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: day or something for it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Something completely crazy, completely crazy. So there are two types
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: of CEOs, and this is according to this story, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: one is a CEO that can't wait to come back
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: only because the excitement level was so high and now
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: it's gone. And the other one has to be reluctantly
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: bought back in because they enjoy retiring, but also it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: somewhat of a challenge. And by the way, the CEOs
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: that do come back are two things. Number One, they
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: are hugely experienced. Two, they have all been successful. They
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: don't bring back loser CEOs. And the companies usually do
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: very well on a turnaround. It's just convincing them. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: then the age that's you know, mandatory retirement for example,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: sixty five year out, doesn't matter how old you are. Well,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: what these companies are doing, of course, is eliminating mandatory age.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Requirements or retirements. And so that's what's going on.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I love talking about this because you know, you've got
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: a let's say you have the CEO of Verizon, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I actually understand what the CEO has to do. I
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: have a lot in common with the CEO of Verizon
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: because I was a CEO of my company. Now he
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: may have one hundred and forty thousand employees. I may
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: have twenty five. But certainly the challenges were the same,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: not even close.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: No, no, don't you think going backwards a little bit
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: also with older CEOs is to jump over the so
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: called wokeness of the younger CEOs. That and believe me,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I think there are some things that we need to
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: open our eyes or be woke about.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: But there's also things that are just just silliness, kind
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: of showing, Look, I'm so open minded and progressive and
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: all that goofiness that they just go, I want to
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: run a company. I'm not here. It's not a charity.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah I think so. No, I think so. I think so,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And it makes it makes so much more sense. You
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: bring back these guys. And you know, when you promote
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: someone to CEO, it's someone who has never been a
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: CEO and that's not proven. Where with a sixty nine
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: year old person who's running a company for ten years successfully,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: it's a different story. Okay, I want to talk about
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: parental controls on social media. California is leading the way
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: in this country on kids at data privacy, but is
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: still behind the rest of the world, or at least
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: part of the rest of the world. Why, we've got
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: trends and mental teen health that are really increasing, increase
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: social media, and so what California is pass a whole
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: new wave of laws to protect kids online. And those
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: laws enacted protections, for example, kids data from being sold,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: giving kids an opportunity to delete what they post, require
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: businesses that target kids to manage potential risks. Now, some
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: of these have faced legal challenges, some have won, some
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: have lost, but the bottom line is that California has
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the strictest privacy safeguards for kids in the United States,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: and California's laws are stronger than the Feds because there
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: is the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act or KAPPA.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I love that with the acronyms, and under that law,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: website operators have to obtain parental permission before collecting information
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: on kids under thirteen, and particularly if their site is
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: targeted towards or knowingly collects information about kids.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And we're learning more and more about that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: And to wilst to an extent, California laws really control
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: or lead the rest of the country. For example, the
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: pollution guidelines. In terms of emissions. All the cars in
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the country have California standards because you can't separate out
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: California from the rest of the country is too big
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: a market. So okay, we'll do it according to California
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: rules and it'll be for the rest of the country.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: That's probably what's going to happen here, that the Feds
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: are going to come up to California standards, maybe depending
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: on this administration or not. But I'll tell you one
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: of the countries that's way way ahead of the curve
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: is Brazil. You wouldn't think so, but Brazil has comprehensive
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: legislation that overlaps with some of what California has done,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: but goes way further. And you know what, let me
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: do this. I want to stop at this point and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: then come back and finish this up because there are
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of points I'm going to make why laws
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: in the United States are much more difficult to pass,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: even in terms of protecting kids. And I'll share that
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: with you upon our return. KFI Am six point forty.
