I mean, when I first walked in, my feeling was, wow, this is like a real grown-up home. Actress Naomi Watts, who's most recently been starring in the Netflix series The Watcher, spends most of her time living in Manhattan with her two kids, Sasha and Kai, who she shares with her ex, Leve Schreiber. As you might expect, Naomi lives in a super chic apartment located in the heart of the city, which she reportedly bought back in 2012. Not to mention, Watts also owns a lovely home on Long Island, which boasts five bedrooms and plenty of space while also feeling warm and welcoming inside. Also, Michael and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this year, so go ahead and subscribe to our personal channel if you want to see where we're living and more of what we're up to. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. The Manhattan apartment that Naomi calls home was a space she put together with her former partner after Leve Schreiber, but now she shares it with her children. This space has two separate units, one of which was an artist's loft that got combined into one home or large spacious duplex, if you will. However, shortly after buying their Tribeca real estate in 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck flooding the space and leaving things a mess since it's located near the Hudson River. The former couple couldn't enter their home for months and when they finally did get in, it was a disaster. First, they hired an architect but changed their mind months later and two years into owning the property, it was still an empty space. In the end, Naomi called on Ariel Ash and Reynaldo Leandro of the design firm Ashie Plus to help them with the interiors and things went from there. Walking into the impressive Manhattan home, there's a double height entryway that has a historic feel, which offers a winding staircase and black and white graphic style floor tiles to give it more of a contemporary feel. Then in the main living room, the space is open plan with large black framed windows along one wall, letting in natural light. There's also velvet covered sofas to lounge in the modern yet cozy feel. The home also offers a library and screening room on the first floor, which also serves as a space that Naomi takes meetings and studies scripts. Designer Leandro said about the project, I had drawings in four months and then we did the entire renovation in ten. It was insanely fast but fun. Naomi brought a great eye and taste to the project and was a terrific creative partner. The open yet private layout of the home's second floor feels urban like a classic loft and throughout the home, there are soft touches in the design for contrast. The large open plan kitchen has pendant lights, a wolf microwave and other designer appliances, as well as a checkerboard concrete tile floor. Aside from the bar style seating, there's also a cute breakfast nook or banquet off to one side. Other highlights include a dining room with large wooden table for more formal meals or entertaining, a green lacquered bar cove off of the library as well as a stylish playroom for the kids and elsewhere, a home gym. Aside from the guests and children's bedrooms, Naomi's master suite has a plush designer bed, a vintage Italian bench and fabric covered walls.  Throughout the duplex, you can see touches that Naomi placed in the home like the rugs she purchased in Morocco and that kitchen banquet which she insisted on. When architectural digest previously asked Naomi about her fave thing in the home, she said, This will sound crazy but I lie in bed at night and think I can't believe after all these years in New York, I finally have a walk in pantry. More recently, Naomi has shared glimpses inside this home from time to time and we can see it offers the same bold interiors and touches like its distinct black window frames. In the living room these days, there are two crimson colored sofas and another which is plain black. We saw the black sofa when the actress was pictured having a nap. And there's also an abstract piece of art in a glitzy gold frame above. In a more recent Thanksgiving post, Naomi's Instagram followers could see her kitchen again when she posed by a chef who came in to cook her turkey. We can see the space's double ovens and kitchen cupboards with glass doors that Naomi chose for a restaurant style look. When Naomi wants to unwind with her family, she can get away from Manhattan to her retreat located on the shores of Long Island. Located in Montauk, the home which was reportedly purchased around 2016 for $5.4 million by the actress, it's close to the ocean and about three hours from the city. Her home offers a traditional shingle clad exterior while the inside boasts an open-plan layout with about 3,500 square feet of living space. There are details like wide-playing flooring as well as five bedrooms and a sprawling living dining room with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. Here, there's also a gorgeous double-height beachstone fireplace on one wall. Other features in Naomi's home include a kitchen with center island, a cozy den, and outside there's a grassy lawn, swimming pool, and a pool house. Naomi's home is warm throughout offering plenty of white walls contrasted with wood for a natural rustic feel. The renovated kitchen further opens to the living areas and the actress made sure to display a handful of family photos throughout the space too. It seems that while she isn't with her ex-leave anymore, Naomi chose to put down roots in Montauk so she's still close to where he lives. And since they share children, it keeps the family united. Her brother also lives nearby. Naomi further finds comfort living close to the water and this home is at the top one of Montauk's highest points. Property boasts amazing views of Lake Montauk, Fort Pond Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Naomi has said about this home, what I fell in love with about this house was the water view. That's just so comic and the light. I love that airy and bright feeling. Naomi, who describes herself as a homebody, typically spends her weekends with family and friends, cooking, playing cards and games, and drinking wine by the fireplace. An appreciation for the simple things. While Naomi is an East Coast dweller these days and has been for a while, it wasn't always like that. And she and her ex formerly owned a home in Brentwood, Los Angeles for a handful of years. In 2012, it was said that since they were purchasing their Manhattan duplex, they first put this home in the rental market for 20K per month. This mansion resembles a French country villa and offers amazing views of the California countryside. The estate was ivy covered and tucked behind gates at the end of a quiet street in the Helena's. One of the most exclusive and romantic areas in Brentwood. The home was full of open spaces, light filled rooms and much more. Out front, there was a charming courtyard entry, which led into common spaces like the formal living room, dining room, media room and an open kitchen family room with additional breakfast. Most of the main rooms in this home opened via French doors out to the handful of patios, including a trellis covered outdoor living room and out back. There was also a grassy lawn, swimming pool and picturesque gardens. Naomi's former master suite here boasted a separate office, soaring ceilings, renovated ensuite bath and private balcony. While elsewhere in the house, there was a home gym. Property was complete with a two-story guest house. While Naomi Watts traded in that Brentwood home for her spots on the east coast, we can see that it was the right decision for her and she seems to love where she lives with her family. Either way, that's going to wrap up this house tour. But before we go, let me ask you this, would you rather have one stunning estate in Los Angeles or two stylish homes on the east coast? Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below, as well as what you liked or didn't like about Naomi's properties. Otherwise, like, subscribe and turn on your notifications. My name is Keri the Vampire Slayer, follow me on Instagram to chat further, and I'll see you all in another tour. Bye!


that it's really filled with Christ. We're identifying the mechanism of how the body possesses large, oxidative enhancements, actually. And also, if you're finding a mechanism, how do we balance? Sometimes it's too much, or it's very little. And why is this important? I mean, we all know we need to breathe. Breathe, so we obviously need oxidative because otherwise we're dying. But why is that? So, when we eat, for example, a really fat breakfast, we take up a lot of food, and our body needs to break down to nutrients. And this is happening by chemical reactions. And these reactions, they need oxygen. And the end product is energy. And obviously, we all need energy to survive them. When we, for example, have a really tough marathon, we get in the situation that we lack oxygen. But we are also not dying by any means. I feel like it, but we don't. This is because the body has some rescue mechanisms. For example, in this case, our muscle needs a lot of oxygen and a lot of energy, and at some point, it's lacking oxygen and lacking energy. So, what it does in this case is, for example, changing the way power produces energy for a very, very easy-ass oxygen. And you can feel this when you get muscle pain because the new by-product of this new way, it works. Or, for example, when you're hiking into a high altitude, the body can't extract as much oxygen as it might need from the air. So, what it does in this case, for example, is shutting down every in-process and it doesn't need riding this way. You're tired. So, how does this work mechanistically and on a biochemical basis? Before we start this, I would like to give you some basic information of biochemistry. I promise it's not going to be easy. We'll understand, hopefully. So, we all have a body. And this body, hopefully another. As I said, the lung don't really look like, for example, your liver or your kidney. However, they all have the same microstructure. They all consist of cells. And these cells are all connected by the blood. And the blood's really interesting for us today and very important since the blood's transporting oxygen. And these cells, they also have the same basic four building blocks, which are nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. And especially, the DNA and the proteins are interesting today. So, let's start understanding what they're doing and why we have them and why the cells have them. The DNA is basically a storage base for the cell. And it's like a reading of a manuscript of just parameters really long time. And storing all the information that the cell might need at some point for processes or products or whatever, it just knows how we need. And to make it easy to read, it has different chapters. We call it gene through our chemistry. And it's written in a very specific language, which is a biological language or genetic language. So, the cell has machinery, which is really very connected, it's a topical technology. So, for example, the machinery can bind to a gene, it can read it, translate it, and then produce a product from it. And depending on the situation of the cell, what if I need in this case, or if we're talking about a lung cell, a muscle cell, or a liver cell, it might need different products. So, this machinery, it can bind to a gene, or also to a gene D, a producing product gene. And these products, they are proteins. And proteins, they're really interesting for my cameras. They can have very different sizes and shades, they can be stiff, they can be flexible, reactive or passive. But you can summarize their functions and four main functions, which is boiling blocks so normally it's really big proteins, they're very stiff and heavy, and they just sit around and blow some microstructures in the cell. Or they can be really flexible and even active and be like, too much for the cell. For example, they can break down your food to produce energy, which is becoming more interesting today. They can be communicators, they can talk to each other. And they build up a huge network of communication in the cell and also between the different cells in the body. So, how does this work? This is a field of biochemistry, so it's really complex. But to break it down, we can, for example, have two different ways of communication by proteins. The first way is when two proteins bind to each other, they physically attach. And this is a signal, for example, for another protein to become active and to produce product or, for example, to break down your food. The way of communication can be that protein binds to the DNA and when this happens, it's calling and eroding as machinery. When this machinery comes, it re-translates and produces a product. For example, how we understood what the DNA is, the storing information, and how it produced a phase of bias and similar things. That's how we understood the oxygen story. So, I've mentioned that the free science has found a way in how the body can sense the amount of oxygen it has. And the most important thing, obviously, for doing this is the sensory. And guess what? The sensory is a protein, and it's called lift one. Greg Samantha identified it 30 years ago as a sensory for oxygen in the cell. And he did this because he found that cells which lack oxygen have loads of different ones in there. But in contrast, cells which are totally fine and have enough oxygen, they barely have any influence and really start detecting them. And some workmen who can prove that this is a favorable sensory and also an indicator for lack of oxygen. So, what is that one doing when there is lack of oxygen? Why is it there? And why is it so there on this big one too? So, I taught two pre-tunes how to make communicators. And guess what? Lift one is a communicator. So, what's happening is when there's lack of oxygen, there's a lot of lift one produced. And it's a cure for any cell. And at some point, which ends pretty high, that lift one is meeting DNA. And lift one can then bind to the DNA. And this is what's happening. It's calling this machinery, the machinery is breathing and producing products. And these products can be of very different kind, depending on what cell we're talking about again and what the cell needs. I will come back to this later to help you understand what these processes are that are happening and what these products are doing. Chris gets understood and the cell is fine and has no oxygen. So, if you notice the communicator, but now in this situation, there's also a lot of oxygen in the cell because it's totally fine. So, what's happening is that the oxygen is actually binding to the one. And this is changing the shape of lift one. That's a new game changed by a cruise queen. Because now, if one can change the way how it's communicating. Now it's not binding to DNA anymore. Now it's binding to the project. And on this type, on this one, they bind to each other. This is also a new signal to the cell. This is now a signal that lift one is not here because there is enough oxygen and the cell is fine. So, it's just recycled. And this is the reason why we don't see lift one when the cell has enough oxygen. So, I'm going to, I've just told you in one instance here and no time to switch on the mechanism. So, when there is enough oxygen it's also produced by a harm that binds oxygen, which is a signal to recycle it. So, it's going again, right after the production. In contrast, when there is oxygen vacuum, it's also produced and it's a cumulative, this is not recycled. And it's binding to DNA and starts different gene products. So, what are these products? I couldn't tell you lift one binds to thousands of genes. And I can also say we don't even know what our genes lift one binds to. This is why this model project was important because it opened the discovery of lift one opened a new field of research to identify all these genes. However, we can summarize it a little bit what we already know. So, lift one can do things in the cell itself which is, for example, effective in metabolism. So, the way how cell is producing energy just remember the story of this model. Or it can also affect the type of substructures in the cell. Or how the cell is moving or if it's growing and things like is it dying or surviving? And then a bigger picture in the body lift one kind of effect process is like red blood cell production and the production of blood vessels and the size of these blood vessels. Which is interesting and I mean it makes sense since bloodstream is part of oxygen lift one also affects these parts of the body. So, this is interesting, it's based on research for me it's fun to to read things about this but why is this interesting for society? There is a clinical application for this knowledge. I have two examples for you today and during these examples we also understand a little bit more these processes that lift one starting. The first example is cancer you probably unfortunately know it. So, when you have a tumor it's basically a plant of cells. And this plant of cells has different names. So, there is an inner layer and an outer layer and the outer layer they are totally binding cells because they have contact to the environment and they get a lot of oxygen and nutrients. How are the cells inside that have a problem? Because the cells outside they are not sharing. So, if they are lacking oxygen and they are also lacking nutrients but however a tumor wants to grow and wants to survive. So, they found a way out of this situation. They just use the regular mechanism to help them to survive. Which is F1. They produce a lot of F1. And this is one that is helping them for example, to build new blood vessels and these blood vessels are connecting them to the endogenous and they get oxygen and nutrients. And based on this knowledge scientists have now developed new compounds against these cancers which are producing F1. So, for example when we start therapy we can either start with everyone binding to the end of the day or we can accelerate the recycling of everyone so that these cancer cells in the end don't have any F1 on the brain. And without F1 they are in the end dying because they are lacking oxygen. It is about a hormone it's called EPO and EPO is produced by the kidneys and also released by the kidneys. And when this happens EPO induces the production of red blood cells and this is important because red blood cells are perfect. The things which are binding oxygen and transporting the oxygen from the blood flow on the body. So, when we fight chronic kidneys and lack oxygen our kidneys are producing a lot of F1 and this F1 that buys the gene from EPO so that EPO is produced and the more EPO is produced the more red blood cells are also produced and obviously more red blood cells can generate more blood oxygen. We have a problem because these kidneys they don't really like producing F1 anymore so we are also letting EPO and as a consequence we are letting red blood cells and little red blood cells and also transporting the oxygen and this phase of the disease is called anemia and we already went treatment for this so patients got EPO injected so this artificial EPO increases the production of red blood cells. Down the side because this EPO is really expensive to produce and also the quality is changing based on the day when we are producing it and especially patients need to inject themselves and not... So, now we are based on our know-how of F1 scientists put together on this program and they found compounds which are increasing the amount of F1 in the cells for example by stopping recycling so it's still linking and producing a little bit and it's accumulating again so the body has its own F1 and then we also start producing its own EPO again so I hope I could give you some idea of how the body is sensing oxygen by using F1 as a sensor and how we rebalance when it's acting oxygen and also to give you a feeling why basic research is in fact really interesting also for society really important because based on this we can start developing new therapies so we now have 5 minutes for the questions so if someone has a question Saba with a second you will be approached with the person's microphone How does it react to increasing or diminishing quantities of oxygen So your question is how fast F1 can be switched on when you are so I would say the production of the protein for example I think one takes maybe and then of course it takes some more to increase the effect and then depending on how you want to store it for example when you produce red blood cells it takes maybe 2-3 days to produce them and they need to develop a little bit longer so that after we we can see the point of feeling and effect but that too only depends on what you want to do So if it's a shorter race or a shorter climb it can be a major effect for quality So I would say for example if that's high altitude or if we're having a shorter race it goes faster I would say that it depends on the biological process so when you go to high altitude and you need more red blood cells it always takes the same amount of time to produce red blood cells but for example the production of red blood cells takes something like a week but changing your metabolism for how the cell is producing energy takes half an hour That's what I wanted to ask Any more questions? Is the microphone working actually? Could you repeat the question if there is a problem with the sound? Can you close it? Just want to hear how this device does it actually work? So you're asking how the performance by the DNA and if the RNA is involved the translation of the messenger RNA by the DNA Does Q1 actually and isn't there a way or what's the mechanics of this activation of producing proteins? So you're asking for mRNA and how it's translating Maybe you can ask me in the grey because I think it's also really biodegradable so probably in two minutes people will understand the answer And if we have time for one more question I still don't have two I'll make it easy for you It's actually called everyone will ask at least Potentially there is also two Maybe somebody will follow I don't know Thank you


I think what you can say to Kramer is, the president's asked me and Dirksen about withholding another $400 million. He can withhold it. You can't do a damn thing about it. You can pass a resolution through this house, tell him not to, and he'll veto the living hell out of it. And we're a hell of a poor people to be talking about withholding expenditures, and then when he withholds them, we make him cancel them. Now, I'll get him not to take this other action, and I'll get it released for you as soon as the year's over at a reasonable time, maybe August, September, somewhere along that where we could use it. But let's don't get this thing in partisan politics, if you... Let me ask if I understand. You earmarked or set aside $400 million. Right, that's right. We've withheld that, at the range. Right. And you have contemplated or discussed the possibility of another poor man. Right. That's right. And I've told them and announced publicly that we're considering it, but we have not done it. So that they're... That's what really stirred up the opposition when they heard the second withholding. Now, do I understand that even though you've discussed it and so forth, you are going to let that go out or...? I would just forget it and cancel it and let it go on out if I could buy them off. But you would stand firm on the 400s we all discussed. That's right. But until we decided that we could release it, and I'd be glad to talk to you about it, that whenever you get there, whenever we need some jobs, whenever we need to release it, I'm not the... Or I want to do it for the economy, period. Well, let me talk to Bill Primer. That's right. And talk to him, Dirksen, and let's get this hearing over in the Senate stopped. And what I will do, I'll take no action on impounding the other 400. If they challenge me and want them running the ground, I can damn easily do it. And I don't believe you can win between now and June 30th. I don't want to, but I just want to help the economy and I honestly think that we ought to hold it a little while longer, but we ought to release some of the housing, then the road ought to come right after it. I think you kind of ought to do it by priorities. I think the soldiers are entitled to theirs, and I release $600 million because we've held it 18 months. And I'm going to release some of the housing sometime in the spring. Then I'm willing to go along with the roads. Can I talk to you about another matter? Yes, or anything you want to, anytime. Matter of fact, I resent a little bit.  Dirksen called me every week about something. I think we ought to get along better. I don't mind you having all the men.  Go ahead. What you got on your mind? You got a lot in place before. I mean, if the country was involved and the flag was going down, I imagine I could hardly fire on the Republican side and get more help than I could sometimes out of rules and calling some of my own going. Go ahead now. What you got on your mind?


Hello! So Sophie are you not coming back tonight here? No. Okay. Hi, welcome back to my channel, welcome to another video. Today we've got all the girls in the car. So that was unnecessary. So yay! And this is the start of our moving vlog. We are moving to uni. We're moving into our second year. And we've never seen it before so that's a good start. Also we don't know who's going to have what room. Yeah we don't know whose rooms whose anyway. So we are about to drive to our uni and pick up our keys and look at our house for the first time when we're actually moving in. Tomorrow. I saw what I would do. Okay. Tomorrow night. Right, I will see you guys when we probably look at the house for the first time. We're going to get to film because we'll all be in shock. Probably. Okay, it's happening we're here. You're going to pull the lever down. Okay. So there is a bathroom. We're here. There it is. Oh look it's my post. Oh my god. We're like either way. It has come to the time where we have to spin the wheel to see who's getting what room and I'm getting right. I'm so nervous. Are we ready? It's so fake. Oh I've got to put my email in first. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I'm going to press this. It's time for them. Right. Oh. There's between you two for the big bedroom. Bedroom. So who's downstairs? Gemma's downstairs. Joph is here. I mean. Sophie you got the one you wanted. I didn't know anyone wanted it. I thought that one was going to be like small small. It's not small. Oh my god. Gemma's got a racing car. I've got a weird bed. Oh no. Of course Little Princess ended up with the big bedroom. Right don't hit me off. I want you to get it. I want you to get it. One of them. Okay. Let's everyone breathe. Room tour. This is an absolute violation to be honest with you. Your grim. The fourth time I've had an under. The fourth? Am I just like that? We spent the last two hours. Well we spent the last hour driving it. The two hours before that clearing out the like insane amount of stuff that the last tenants left at the place. It was disgusting. I will send a photo of it of what I was going to look like right now because all of it needs to go to the tit. And now we're really hungry because we've literally not eaten since like 11 o'clock this morning. And it is currently half past five so we've obviously come to Dando's because I think we really deserve it. We've worked hard to live. And I'm really hungry and I'm just waiting for it. She's on a diet. Hi. So it's the next day. I look very sweaty because I am. We've been up since half seven. We're to collect the van. The van is now here and it's massive and we're currently filling it up. And oh my goodness. We've got a lot of stuff now just taking my ring light down. I've got my frying pan. One sec. How could I forget this frying pan? My dressing gown. I want that too. So basically we've got a lot of stuff and I have no idea how we're going to fit all of this in the new house if I'm being completely honest. But I will show you then when I get down there. Here is the van. Do you think we've got enough stuff? I'm not sure actually. I think either of us is fine. I feel like we haven't bought enough now. I don't know how this is going to fit in our house. No, me either. Hello. So it's a bit later. We've unpacked everything. My mum's gone home and we're in the house. We've just gone to Tescos. I'm not really ready to start tackling unpacking. But I've got this massive box with me. From Cherry's. Very kind of gifted. So I'm going to show you guys some of the stuff I got because I'm very excited about cleaning products. And I never thought I would say that in my life. You're a real avid now. Hey, that's too big. I'm actually trying to help you.  Oh no, it's trouble as I do. Oh my God, the service is terrible here. Yeah, I know. We need to buy a Wi-Fi. Okay. Oh my God, there's so much in here. We've got a toilet cleaner. Oh, it's pink. Yeah, I've got all pink stuff, obviously. Bathroom surface wipes. Because the toilet definitely needs to be clean. Honestly. Oh, these. If you're going to uni, get one of these. They're incredible. Oh, we've got some vanish crystal white stain remover. I've got a mixing bowl. It's broken. It's broken. Cherry's. Paris needs more. Oh my God. Chili and garlic salt. How good is that? I was really having a fun time. Metal straws. Measuring jug. Pink. Oh, it's big. It's not so big. Oh yeah, I've got massive ones. Oh my God. Do you have peppercorns? Yeah, massive salt. Yeah, of course. Oh my God. Oh my God. This is as big as I've got some sweet chili sauce. Basically, you can buy any and everything on this website. So I got a bit excited. I've got a big peppercorn one as well. Vimba. Vimba. Pink, of course. Oh my God, the toilet's going to look so cute. Big Pong. Big shots. Big Danny mayonnaise. Oh my God. I love mayonnaise. It's going to run out in a few days in the year. Got some hand soap for both of our bathrooms. Oh, and some washing up liquid. I got a black bin and a pink bin. We actually have way too many bins out.  Ketchup. I got white wash. Fresh shopping list. And a drying mat. sink. And that is everything. Thanks for coming to my home. Thank you Cherries for gifting. This is very helpful if you're going to uni. I would recommend because this was brilliant. This is the current state of my bedroom. I think it looks absolutely delightful. Shofi's actually being really productive and like putting stuff away. Shofi's already gone home so at least I'm better than light. But yeah I'm not doing very well. I just don't have any motivation and I don't have a desk yet so there's like a lot of stuff that I don't know where I'm gonna put it so I just decided I'm gonna leave that on my floor. Okay but my wardrobe's really small and if I'll do a house tour soon like a proper house tour when everything's moved in when you see Jobe's room the wardrobe space is incredible so I'm gonna put my coats up in there because I won't use them that often. But I don't know how I'm gonna fit all my clothes in here. It's not going well. Hi. That's very nice. It's not. Good morning. So it is Monday now. I don't remember. I don't think I filmed anything since Saturday when we first moved in because we went back to my parents house and we went out to rain which is a club in London if you are not from here. And then we spent the whole of yesterday feeling really sorry for ourselves. But we are back in the house. We are ready to get some stuff sorted. It's actually looking a lot better. As I said I'm gonna do a full house tour so I'm not gonna like show you very much right now. My voice sounds a bit rough. Sorry about that as well. But we're about to go to IKEA which is really exciting because I love IKEA and I haven't been in a long time. We have a few issues with the house. Firstly the toilet upstairs doesn't flush so we can't use that. The toilet downstairs flushes but it leaks like water everywhere on the floor so that's not very nice. So we're trying to like not flush very much which is also kind of grim. The oven. We tried to cook dinner last night. The oven doesn't work. We literally turned it on and about two seconds later the whole thing went up in smoke. So that doesn't work. The microwave also was going up in smoke. We did manage to use it but we definitely need to get a new one of those because it's left from the old tenants and I think it's very old. And the light in the kitchen doesn't work and the light in the living room it works and then it turns itself off whenever it like chooses and then it doesn't turn on for about 10 minutes. So there's a lot of stuff that needs to be sorted and our landlord is not being very helpful so this is not a good sign. He keeps saying yeah we'll fix it, we'll fix it but like nothing's happening. We've had that whole tip in the garden which I think I showed you and that's been there since Saturday and he told us it was all gonna get collected and it absolutely has not been like nothing's happened. That's great news and our shower is literally like a drop of water per second but I don't know how we can fix that so whatever. Anyway the point is there's a few issues that need sorting that we can't really like fix ourselves like someone has to come in and do it which is really annoying because it's not getting done. But yeah we're gonna go to IKEA and then probably like an electrical shop I don't really know where we get that kind of stuff from. Argos maybe? I don't really know. And we'll show you what we get because we have a lot of stuff to get so that's fun. We have arrived at the mothership that you know. Oh okay Ariana. You can't really see her right now but she is over there. We have been sat in this car waiting for Sophie. 15 minutes because Sophie managed to forget how to drive and she's gone really wrong. She's still not here. This place is so busy. I don't understand why are you all not at work. Like it's a Monday afternoon. It feels like evening weather so I'm not getting there.  Gemma. What? Don't scare me like that bro. I'm trying to cook in this kitchen as broken. So explain what you're doing. Really? Good. I made it again. We've got two bags there. Welcome to the kitchen. That is actually working surprisingly better. Yeah. We've got your toaster and kettle. Just this microwave is still dodgy. It definitely needs to be replaced. But we'll get to that. We're making obviously our carbonara because it's all over me. I don't really know what else to tell you. It's been a very long day. It has. Mitch, you've been driving four hours, five hours today. Kia was not as successful as I thought it was going to be. You didn't get anything. I did. I got quite a bit. Hi. You may recognise this place. I am back home. I am actually about to drive back to the house. But I thought I'd end this video here because we've been living there. Kind of living there. We've been in and out. I mean a lot of the stuff wasn't working. So it wasn't like the best to live there. But it is all getting sorted now. I need to go back today because the person is coming to replace the toilet or fix the toilet or something. I don't know. And then hopefully all will be good and we will be in there permanently. And I can film my house tour very soon. But I wanted to finish this video now. So I can finish editing it at home because we've still got no wi-fi at the house. So I can't upload anything. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this. If you did, please give it a thumbs up. Let me know down below in the comments any videos you guys want to see. Whether it's like uni related, house related or completely not related to anything like that. And yeah, we'll see you guys next week with another video. Hopefully it will be the house tour. Because fingers crossed everything will be done by then. I think that's all I've got to say. Bye.


Good morning, guys. It is grouting day. We have the tile prepared. As a lot of you guys know or have seen, the entire floor has now been tiled throughout the kitchen and into the breakfast nooks. So we are at the point now where we're going to be adding the grout and we actually picked up the grout prior to our little incident that occurred in last video which was using the wrong mortar to stick down all of our edge pieces. So we already have the grout on hand. So the brand of grout that we are using is Lata Crete and I got this at Floor and Decor. We ended up grabbing, I believe, five bags of this particular color and the color is in hemp which I thought would be a nice, kind of like mushroomy, grayish kind of the color and that's really what I'm going for in here. Something on the darker side but not too dark and not too light. Something kind of medium toned. This just seems good to me. So we are going to try this out and the technique that we are going to be using to grout the flooring is actually using a grout bag and this is what a lot of masonry tile workers do when they do masonry work on stone walls or fireplaces is they use a grout bag because it fills in all the cracks and crevices.  So I will share with you guys the entire process. I've never done anything like this before so we will see how it goes but after today I'm hoping we should have all of the grouting done and an actual floor we can walk on. We're going to use this Tupperware bucket to mix our grout because the mortar, we forgot to clean out of the other bucket. So we ended up mixing two bags of grout at once and something that is such a lifesaver is one of these drill attachments that actually mixes for you. You can get these at the hardware store. They're like $20 but they really do make the mixing process so much easier. I just kind of swirl the grout around like this to get it started then actually use the drill and you can mix it up. This is a second bag going in here. This is going to thicken it all up but we still do want it to be a pretty thin consistency because we are going to be piping it into all of the joints. All right guys, the grout is looking good. I actually really like the color in here. I do believe it's gonna dry a bit lighter just because it's wet at the moment and then these right here are the grout bags that I'll be using. They're just from Home Depot. They're like $5 each and they're fully washable. So I'm going to cut the tip just a little bit wider and we are going to start filling up the grout bag and let's probably start in this back corner and work our way down. Breakfast's not good.   I feel like a cake decorator. I mean, I was, I was certified by Wilton, took four classes so if you need a cake you know where to go and I have my grout in the bag and we're going to start, I kind of want to start at this corner. I don't know why. I just know furniture is going to be placed over this area so it goes bad in that slot. Okay, here goes nothing. I think it's supposed to be thinner.  All right, we're thinning down the grout because it was too thick. We had to remove it from the grout bag. Just adding a bit more water so that we can get it. So it flows a bit here. Now this consistency here is perfect. As you can see, I'm piping it out of the bag. I'm overflowing the joints just a little bit and by overflowing I mean that I'm squeezing the bag extra hard so that some of the grout actually kind of pops above the tiles and do not worry if this seems a little bit messy. What's actually going to happen is it's going to be hardening down and then we're going to knock the hardened grout off the top so it's going to be a lot easier to knock that off if you do have extra. Now something else I could say about this grouting technique is it does use a lot more grout than your traditional grouting technique but if you don't want to fill your natural stone tiles with grout as you can see there's a bunch of holes here they would be filled fully with that grout and this is a technique that you might want to try out and it's also really nice to do this if you have kind of inorganic grout lines which comes with a lot of more natural stones this just makes it easier to get the grout in the area that you want it to go. I personally find and it's also kind of fun. Okay guys, it has been probably about two hours and I wanted to share with you how much grouting we have done. So this is how much we actually left a little pathway down the center here just so that we're able to remove the grout from the left and right side then we'll be able to go in and like add the grout to the center section here. So we'll be doing that after but essentially what you're going to want to wait for now is the grout to kind of harden. So if you could see it kind of it's like a little tacky if I touch it, it's not transferring. It's a bit hard however it's not to the point yet where we can kind of chip it off the surface and get the excess away. I'm just going to check every like 20 minutes how it's doing. I also want to say that we grouted in sections and left a little pathway that way we were able to walk back through and check areas to see how dry they were. So we are at the point now where the grout as you can see when I tap it, it's like it's not sticky. Doesn't at all feel like it's kind of just like half hard if that makes sense. Like it's like halfway dry. As you can see it's like you can touch it and it's not going to transfer. I mean there might be like a little bit of transfer but it's not what anymore. It's like more so half hard. So what I'm going to do is actually just use a trowel and I'm going to go and then scrape off the top of the surface. This kind of hardened product. And something else you can do is with your remainder grout if you have any areas where it didn't fill in like let's say you want to add a little more grout here per se you can actually take just some of your half hardened grout and just kind of push it in almost like Play-Doh and then re-smooth out your line and then you'd go over this little area with a wet sponge just to kind of smooth that out. Once I knocked the bulk of the grout off using the trowel I knew I wanted to kind of give this more of a cobblestone feel. So I knew I wanted to scrape the joints with something that was almost half rounded. So I found this paint stir stick that I had it's a metal stir stick and I use that to actually scrape all the joints and give them just a slight half rounded look and just take a little bit of the grout out so it almost had this like inlaid brick cobblestone effect. You can also see right here where the piping bag didn't get the grout in just take some of your crumbled grout and shove it in the crack. Just smooth it right back out because it's still a little wet you're going to be able to do that. It is looking so good. Like I do not believe these are coming out as well as they are. It literally looks like there's dirt all over the floor. We're going to not keep this that same color. It's dirt, but yeah. I also used a shop vac to vacuum up absolutely all of like the sediment and debris and extra grout that was knocked off the surface. Now I do know this could totally ruin the shop vac. However, I purchased my shop vac for projects like this and it hasn't died on me yet. So I'm going to continue using her. She is going strong. Our last and final step, as you can see the floor looks so nice. I'm going to take a sponge, I dipped in some water and I'm just going to wipe the top of everything just to get any of. And this right here is where I messed up. As you could see, I am essentially taking the white powdery top layer off of all the tiles and transferring it onto the grout, the dark toned grout, which I was wondering why this grout ended up drying lighter. And you're going to see that in a bit here but just backtracking a tiny bit. This is where I messed up. The extra grout off and also just to clean the tiles and make sure everything is nice and smooth. You can also rub it in the grout lines, make sure that they're nice and smooth. You're going to want to do this before it's fully dry. So maybe like two hours after you grout or so, I'd say. It's crazy how undusty they look when they're wet. Like it looks like a whole different floor. Completely different. So I realized where I went wrong in the process and that was I should have sponged the tiles once they were down and before grouting. So I should have mopped or cleaned the entire flooring before doing the grouting because I just transferred all of the dustiness from cutting the tiles on the tile saw, which really did create quite a bit of dust on the surface. I don't know why I just assumed that that dust would be, you know, like soaked into the grout or it wouldn't affect the color at all, which definitely does affect the color. So keep that in mind. If you're using a darker grout, always ensure that your tiles are really, really clean prior to grouting and sponging because anything on your tile once you sponge is going to be transferred into your grout. Good morning guys. It is the second day of grouting and Justin actually came over early this morning and started doing the grouting, which wow, thanks Justin. He's actually editing up today's video this morning. So he ended up finishing up the grouting. This is what it is looking like and we're just now waiting for it to dry so we can go back through and do the same exact step. The reason why we have the secondary, I guess, day of grouting is because this was our pathway that we had left so that we were able to scrape and clean this side and this side. Now we're just doing our pathway that we had created, which once this is all dried down, hopefully will look seamless with the other grout. It truly is shocking to me though, how dark the grout goes on versus how light the grout dries. Like this doesn't even look like the same product. And I think we know why. Definitely was that just white, cast-y film over the top of all of the tiles, which just comes with even the, you know, tile manufacturer cutting these tiles, they get so much of that tile cut dust. I don't even, that's probably not the terminology on the tiles that you really do need to clean them. And I just didn't realize I needed such a good cleaning prior. I really thought keeping that white dust on and having it mix into the process was just going to intensify kind of the reclaimed look of them, but it didn't honestly make them look a little bit newer. Good morning, I have exciting news. The floor is done. We've finished all of the tiling in the entire kitchen. And I'm gonna flip the camera and show it to you guys. Look how incredible this looks you guys. I cannot believe it turned out this amazing. Now of course, there's still quite a bit of like grout haze over the top, meaning that we need to mop it with some water and just get off all of the extra dustiness over the top. Look how incredible the threshold looks. And of course, this is tiled just so that it kind of inclines the tiniest bit to meet up with the flooring. Now over here, I'll probably do a threshold as well, but I wasn't too sure what I wanna do with this opening yet. Then walking through here, it looks like this. I just love it. It is so, so pretty. We do still have to seal it. Now working into this room, just look how incredible. And this right here is more of an idea of what it looks like when we wipe off the dust. So currently there's all this kind of like grout haze. Now we're gonna wipe it off and it's gonna look more like this all over. I'm giving it a washing. Yeah, George Washington. I'm giving the floor a wash. That's what my grandpa would say. We're giving the floor a washing. And the blinds put down. You love it when nobody's around. I wanna call out, but you bite my lips don't make a sound. From leaving without you. We are at F&S fabrics this morning because I realized we're moving in on Saturday, which is currently Monday, moving in on Saturday and the couch is not reupholstered. The couch, we have nothing to sit on. So I need to start getting the ball rolling on getting the couch reupholstered, pick out some fabric or at least get an idea for what fabric I'm wanting to do because I actually ended up selling the article couches that were in the current space just because I didn't wanna bring them over. I already knew that I had this sofa to replace those ones so I didn't wanna have to bring them over and move them if necessary. So I did sell those on Facebook Marketplace and we are now at F&S fabrics, Justin's here. And we're gonna go inside and see what fabric they have. I kind of wanna do something a bit daring. So let's see. I don't know, I'm just so, look at like, look what I'm wearing right now. This is the same material, is it not? This is like kind of what I wanna do on the couch. A little bit of this vibe but I'm also open to something geometric or, I mean like, gosh. Even like these are so pretty. This block print with the like checkered in the background. You can tell there's like gray and then green is so beautiful. I also absolutely love this. It reminds me of very Spanish vibe food with the yellow, red and green. You guys look at these bouquets. This one's so pretty. This brown is so great too. I feel like, like. It's so cool though. Why am I obsessed with that? That is me in a fabric honestly. Checkers, lines, warm tones. I really like this. I mean, I don't know. Justin doesn't know. It's so 70s, it's cool but like on a full couch. Love this section too because I feel like the fabrics just have this worldly vibe to them. This color and this texture. Do you see that?  That would also be a good way to go. Unless you want to go funky on the couch. I think I want to go funky on the couch. Like maybe something like this. Color light, but just like the style of it in the way it felt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do we like something like midi or, I do like woolly guys and it comes with some other colors. This one you guys, the color is just so pretty. It looks a little purpley on camera but I swear it's more of a kind of reddish, almost like a mauve. Oh my gosh guys, I need quilted strawberries. That's good in here. Wait, what's this? What's this? What is she? What is she? I love this. I love this so much. Wait, how much is this? $59 a yard. This is the vibe. Printed knit is the vibe. I've been here for a solid two hours. Justin probably thinks I'm crazy. No, I think he understands, oh that's so pretty. We found this book called Stroheim Pastiche Collection. You guys, these fabrics are some of the most beautiful ones. Like look, oh my gosh Justin, look at this color. Ooh, that one's really pretty too. That one is so pretty. Wait you guys, but I just found this green. Oh, all right guys, we've made a decision. This is the fabric. It is 100% linen and I think it's gonna be so pretty on the couch. I just, I didn't wanna go with the solid and I thought this block print was great. Back from the fabric store and back in the kitchen area. This is what the floor is looking like. It has been drying now for probably like four or five days so it is pretty dry. Now I actually did a little test over here of darkening up the grout and I actually do not like it at all. Luckily I did it underneath the fridge area. I was going for a darker look but I just don't think it looks that great with the tile. Actually I'm liking the way that the light tone is looking which was not the original idea but you know what, sometimes you just shift your vibes a little bit. So we are actually going to be sealing the floor now which might go ahead and lend to a bit of a darker grout as well. I'm not too sure and once they're sealed essentially the water can't really penetrate into them and it allows them to be cleanable or a lot easier to clean. So we're gonna go ahead and seal the flooring which should just be a pretty quick process. Also when I was at Lowe's the other day I saw this on the shelf and posted a photo of this and was like what the heck is an impregnator sealer and it happens to be the exact sealer that we're gonna be using on the floor. So yes, it's called a 511 impregnator sealer. I have my 24 inch roller. I thought this would be a nice one to use and we are gonna start sealing this floor. Nope, but that's fine. You really do not realize how much dust is on the floor until you start vacuuming it you guys. Look how dusty the floor was. I forgot my wood floor was this beautiful. Everything is still drying down over here but it looks so good. It is molding day at the house. So you guys saw that we have all the tile in all the grout in and we are ready to actually finish off the underside of the cabinetry and I wanted to share these with you guys. So I picked these up at Berber Imports this morning. Actually ended up filming a whole bunch there but I'm gonna include it in this Sunday's video because I already have quite a bit in the one that's going up today. But look how pretty these are. They are Indian vintage moldings and they have this kind of flower motif on them and I thought in this dark wood color really reminded me of like a Spanish style home and I love this really cutesy element. So I thought adding this to the toe kicks of the cabinetry would be a really nice touch. So I already kind of placed some out just to give an idea that we're gonna start measuring out. This should actually be pretty simple. There's just a couple of miter cuts that we have to do but nothing too crazy.

The David Feldman radio program is made possible by listeners like you.  On election day 10 states will be voting on some form of marijuana reform despite the Obama administration's decision earlier this year to keep marijuana as a schedule one drug listed in the same category as LSD and heroin. Chuck Rosenberg, the head of the DEA, said over the summer that marijuana has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. Despite that, California voters will decide on Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act legalizing possession of one ounce of marijuana for adults over the age of 21. Californians will be allowed to grow up to six plants a year and the sale of marijuana for recreational use would be taxed and regulated. For more on this, we are joined by Dr. Stanton Glantz. He's in San Francisco today. Dr. Glantz is often called the Ralph Nader of the anti-tobacco movement. He's written four books including the cigarette papers and he's also a professor at the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Glantz. Well, thank you for having me. You believe tobacco and marijuana have similar chemical profiles and that as we move towards legalization of marijuana, we need to regulate it more like we do tobacco and less like we do alcohol. Before we talk about the public health framework to deal with marijuana use, I'd like to start looking at the fields of hemp before drilling down into the weeds which marijuana is a weed. In the abstract, Dr., without specifics, are you for the legalization of marijuana? If it's done properly, yes. I think the war on drugs has been a disaster and we need to accept that and move beyond it. In the abstract, do you believe that marijuana is as dangerous as alcohol? In the abstract, just generally speaking, for parents who are listening, do you think tobacco and marijuana? I think that it's probably more dangerous than alcohol. You believe? It's probably in the end going to be as dangerous as tobacco, maybe even a little more dangerous. But you've been writing that we compare marijuana too much to alcohol and not enough to tobacco. So let me just talk about the psychological dangers in the abstract and the addictive nature of marijuana. Do you believe, generally speaking, that we have to watch marijuana the same way we watch alcohol in terms of its addictive nature? Well, it's actually probably worse than alcohol on that dimension too. But the problem is the way people have been thinking about marijuana's health effects have almost been really focused on the questions of psychiatric and psychological effects. But because marijuana smoke is not all that different from tobacco smoke or, for that matter, diesel exhaust, I think we really need to worry about cancer. The state of California has already put it on the list of known human carcinogens and also heart disease and the other kinds of diseases that tobacco causes. So I think the discussion of the health effects of marijuana has been too focused on what's above the neck. The other problem is that marijuana, as it's used now, is probably going to have absolutely no resemblance to what we're going to see five or ten years from now when the market becomes corporatized and we have the kind of modern product engineering that goes into things like cigarettes and junk food. I think the big multinational corporations will be able to make marijuana cigarettes which are much more habit-forming, much more addictive, and other marijuana products that are much more addictive and used at much higher levels. Okay, let's drill down into the weeds here. You write that marijuana has been in the crosshairs of big tobacco since 1969. Why 1969? What did big tobacco realize in 1969? Well back in the 60s and 70s when the tobacco companies were really actively looking at getting into the marijuana business, they thought marijuana was going to be legalized for many of the same reasons that we have today. And so they started doing studies of the product. They started thinking about how they would go about marketing it and how they would engineer the product. Now in the end they abandoned it because the discussion of legalization faded and it's not clear quite what they would have done had history developed differently. But the important point is that we have giant corporations who know about branding, who know about national marketing, and who know about how to engineer sophisticated products to maximize consumption. So you've been fighting tobacco for a good chunk of your career.  As I understand marijuana, there's a limit to how much you can smoke. You become sated and you can only get so high. I can't imagine somebody having a three pack a day marijuana habit. Is that what big tobacco is trying to, is hoping to create? Well, whether it's big tobacco or some other big corporations that get into the business, the capitalist market drives companies to profit maximization which means maximizing consumption. And it's not just the level of nicotine or THC in the case of marijuana that you're talking about. There's a million other ways that tobacco products are manipulated to maximize use. And for example, if you look at cigarette consumption in the United States when it peaked, it was hundreds of times higher than it was when the whole market started. Can you say that again? Can you say that again? I'm sorry. Well, let me say it. I didn't say it that well. Okay. Believe me. Compared to me. Okay. Before that, people used tobacco before the advent of the modern cigarette industry around the beginning of the 20th century. But they didn't use very much of it. And with the advent of modern cigarette design and modern cigarette technology which became increasingly sophisticated over the years and mass marketing, the level of consumption of cigarettes exploded. And people look at old movies, which by the way, they were paid to put smoking in and think, oh, everybody was smoking back in the 20s and the 30s. In fact, the amount of smoking going on back then, the per capita cigarette consumption back then was a little bit lower than it is today. Let me back. Let me ask, let me follow up on that. First of all, MGM was taking money from big tobacco. So Betty Davis would appear to be sexy, smoking a cigarette is product plus. Well, I don't know if it was Betty Davis particularly, but yes, like Claudette Colbert was one, another big star that I know for a fact was. There was about a hundred or so that we've been able to document. And the reason we know all this stuff, both about smoking in the movies and all the history of payoffs between big tobacco and Hollywood, as well as the fact that the tobacco companies were looking at getting into the marijuana businesses. We have about 90 million pages of internal industry documents here at UCSF on the internet. And we found all that stuff in there.  That's not true. It's a heavily engineered product where they control everything from the density of the packet, packing the tobacco to the nicotine levels to lots of additives to control burn rates, particle size, how it anesthetizes your throat so that you can inhale more deeply, change the acidity of the smoke, which affects how fast the nicotine is absorbed and the list goes on and on and on. And so the way marijuana is being used today, because the marijuana that's being grown today has higher THC than it used to, but none of these modern product engineering techniques have yet been applied. And when those come in, I think they're going to see use explode. And that's the big concern I have about Prop 64 is that we'll get to that by a little bit. Let's get to that. Let's get this is your before the big tobacco people dreamed up these new nicotine delivery devices. Was there such thing as tobacco addiction in the 19th century where people addicted to tobacco before big tobacco? Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. The nicotine, the nicotine and the effects that nicotine has are what they are, but we didn't see the heavy widespread use of the product. So in the 19th century, when I see my cowboys and wider when they're just rolling their own, they're smoking pure tobacco. Correct? Well, I don't I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what they put in it, but it was certainly what they were smoking was wildly different from what people are smoking today. Okay. If I grew my own tobacco plants and cured them and then just when they were ready, crumbled them up and rolled them in rolling paper and smoke them. Would I be sated? Would I be smoking as much? Would I be as at much risk of lung cancer and emphysema as I would buying a pack of cigarettes? Is it safer to roll, to grow your own tobacco, roll it and smoke it then it is to buy a carton of Winston's. If you're smoking the same amount, it's probably a little bit less dangerous because probably the particle sizes are would be larger because probably because you don't have all the additives that affect how deep, you know, how deeply you inhale. It's still going to be pretty dangerous, but it's probably not. But the thing is the thing that the thing that you didn't have that you wouldn't have if everybody smoke grew their own to smoke is you wouldn't have mass marketing and you wouldn't have the kind of sophisticated product engineering that increases consumption. For example, in 2014, the Surgeon General put a big report out and said cigarettes in 2014 were more dangerous than cigarettes in 1964 because as the product, the engineering of the product had evolved, the tobacco company said, figured out how to make the particle sizes smaller, which gets the smoke deeper into your lungs and increases the nicotine absorption, but it also increased. It changed the kind of one cancer people got and it made it made it worse. So you would be more sated. The 19th century cowboys were sated. They didn't need to smoke as much tobacco. No, I don't know that. I don't know if that's true or not. I can tell you they didn't smoke as much tobacco. So whether that was because they were more sated or because it just was harder, it was just harder to in order to consume at the levels that people were consuming by the mid 20th century, you couldn't just make cigarettes fast enough to do it.  I think could could could roll like a hundred cigarettes an hour or something. Well, the modern cigarette manufacturing machine would would generate a thousand or ten thousand cigarettes an hour. So back before the advent of the modern tobacco industry, you just couldn't, you know, you just couldn't get the product fast enough to smoke at the levels which are happening today. It was just the two things that led to the modern tobacco industry were the invention of the cigarette manufacturing machine and the advent of mass marketing. And the thing the thing that that then followed that as these corporations grew and became richer and more powerful was modern product engineering to design the product in a way to maximize consumption. OK, so none of that none of that has yet happened with marijuana. But the corporatization of the market, which is what Proposition 64 is going to bring, will make all of that possible. That to me is the scary thing about Proposition 64. And the reason that even though I think marijuana should be legal, because I think the war on drugs has been a catastrophe, I'm going to vote no on 64 because I think we're going to trade a criminal justice and equity problem for a bunch of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases. And we're going to be basically create the new tobacco industry. Now, whether it's the tobacco industry that decides to get in the business, or whether it's somebody else doesn't really matter. It's the capabilities that modern corporate America has. I mean, it's the same the same kind of thinking, the same kind of product manipulation that goes into tobacco goes into junk food, for example, in order in order to try to design the foods so that you'll eat, you'll eat as much as possible. And I have no doubt that with the profit mode of driving and the kind of pro industry regulation, which is written into 64, that these these companies are going to end up in the business and the same exact kind of problems that we have with the tobacco crisis with the junk food crisis are going to we're going to see them admit with marijuana. And I think that there's a right way in a wrong way to legalize and this is the wrong way.  That's why they're backing the initiative. And do we know if big tobacco is backing it? Are they not that I know of? I think they've, they've been very, very careful. They have enough legal problems right now. And they've been very careful to not be visible in the discussion. But you know, if they wanted to get into this business, they could do it in a flash. But if it's not them, it'll be somebody like them. Mm hmm. Before you go, this is fascinating. You're against 64 being passed. I want to get back to the dangers of marijuana, and then we'll wrap it up. I used to smoke a lot of marijuana, but I didn't smoke the marijuana that I'm not gonna say my kids, but my kids smoke. I don't approve of marijuana. I'm progressive liberal. I don't think people should be arrested for marijuana use. I agree with you. I agree with everything you're saying. And that's why I called you because we have a culture now that's pushing marijuana, where people are saying marijuana is perfectly safe. And we haven't even begun to explore what hemp can do for us. And that it's in the interest of big industry to keep marijuana illegal. I don't buy that. I think that marijuana is dangerous. And I, Jerry Brown, who I admire, said on Meet the Press, do we want to live in a country where everybody's stoned? Yeah, I think no, I don't think I don't like marijuana any more than I like tobacco. I don't think people should use marijuana. But the question is, should we be people throwing people in jail if they use marijuana? And should we try to use the criminal justice system in order to reduce use?  And so, you know, if the irony in all of this is if you look at tobacco, it's perfectly legal uses declining and it's becoming more and more socially unacceptable. In marijuana, it's illegal uses increasing and it's socially accepted. And so what I think we should do is get rid of the war on drugs, not throw people in jail for using marijuana, but concurrently with legalization, put in place a large demand reduction program modeled on the California tobacco control program. I think we should apply best practices for tobacco control to marijuana, which would include plain packaging, large warning labels, prohibitions on public use and protect to protect bystanders, and ideally sell it in state stores so that there would be no corporate involvement, no mass marketing, no product engineering. And so that if those people who really want it can get it, but where there's not any steps being taken to actively promoted and where the revenues generated from the sale and taxation of the product go into funding aggressive counter marketing to get people to not use it. And instead, what we're doing is we're creating a for profit market, where we're instantly going to have giant corporations coming in making campaign contributions, hiring lobbyists, and we're basically going to be creating the tobacco mess. So it's more than just not wanting people walking around stone. I agree with the governor, we don't want people walking around stone. But the thing that nobody's talking about is for example, marijuana secondhand smoke is even worse for your cardiovascular system than tobacco secondhand smoke is. There's this research we've done here at UCSF. We thought it wouldn't be as bad because THC is a vasodilator. It turned out to be worse. What do you know? Nobody's thinking about that part of it. I love the smell of marijuana. I do. So if people if people want to smell it, good for them. You know, I went to we have a big outdoor music festival here in San Francisco called Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. It's outdoors. It's in Golden Gate Park. I went there to listen to it and walked out wheezing. You know, I don't think people should be I think all the same rules that apply to tobacco should be applied to marijuana.  And the the you're exactly right. The ideology that sort of social framing we have around marijuana today is that it's not only not bad for you, that it's good for you. And and you know, while it's true, there are some legitimate medical uses of cannabis. The claims that are being made for medical marijuana are just ridiculous. But because the Obama administration keeps it unless schedule one, it makes it very, very hard to do research, not impossible, but very, very hard. And going through the FDA and applying the our normal rules for making claims, medicinal claims about drugs have been completely pushed to the side. So if you're sitting there as a business looking for a way to make a lot of money, a legalized marijuana market under the terms that Prop 64 has is like your dream come true. That's why property values are exploding up in Humboldt County. I have a friend who publicly claims that marijuana helps deal with his chronic pain. And then he confessed to me, it's not really true. I just like smoking dope. Is is marijuana are there certain strains of marijuana that help deal with pain? Well, you know, that's not an area that I'm expert on, but I went to a two day meeting back at the National Institutes of Health a few months ago, and there was a whole session on are there therapeutic uses of cannabinoids, which is the scientific way of asking are the smoking marijuana or you or marijuana extracts have any clinical value. And the answer to that is yes, there are some clinically demonstrated values of marijuana. But there also a lot of harms and it would be the current environment around medical marijuana. It's like saying, well, if you have cancer, chemotherapy is a good thing. Therefore, everybody should be using chemotherapy because it's good for everything. Wow. And you know, when we look at the medical marijuana market, it looks to me it's like the nutritional supplements market on steroids. We need I would get rid entirely of the medical marijuana market. And that's another problem was 64 by maintaining a medical marijuana market and a retail recreational market side by side with different rules. It's creates a huge level of complexity, which is going to make any kind of meaningful enforcement very, very difficult. So you're you, I think, excuse me for a second, Dr, you're saying the marijuana dispensaries, medical marijuana doctors writing prescriptions for marijuana. Bad idea. I think it's a terrible idea. I think if we're going to have a legalized market, there should be one unified market. This is actually what Washington State is doing. I think that people should be prohibited from making any medicinal claims about marijuana until they've actually been the same kind of studies that are done for other drugs. And if there is a legitimate medicinal use for marijuana that's been demonstrated to the same kind of standards we use for other drugs, then fine, use it. Well, let me ask you that it shouldn't be it shouldn't what we have now is that you know, it that medicinal marijuana, if you listen to people is good for everything at all doses. And that that's just not true. Some of the some of the claims, I mean, I don't remember the details, but at this meeting I was at an NIH, you know, people doctors are up from Colorado pediatricians were getting up there talking about parents who had sick kids who were bringing them in who were giving them medicinal marijuana in areas where the scientific evidence was showing that it actually was dangerous. And when these these doctors would tell the parents, you know, that's not a good idea. They would get mad at them. I'm going to ask you a rude, can I ask you a rude question? Sure. Okay. Are you a medical doctor? No, you're a PhD in I'm a PhD, but I'm a professor of medicine. And I hang out with them. And you know, I'm not, I'm not talking about practicing medicine, which is the reason I didn't bother going to medical school. But you can know about medicine. And you can know about medical science. So even though you're not taking care of patients, I haven't asked my rude question yet. Okay. We have two big enemies in this conversation. One is big tobacco. The other enemy is big pharma. Are you in the pocket of big pharma? I've never taken a penny from big pharma. Do you believe big pharma as is as big a problem as big tobacco? I don't think big. I think big pharma is a different kind problem than big tobacco. Because there are lots of drugs that big pharma makes that are really good, you know, people's lives are saved.  Right. So I think the pharmaceutical industry is an important part of our society today. The problem with big pharma is their unmitigated greed and political power. And the fact that that they are taking advantage of the fact that they're making life saving products to gouge people beyond beyond belief. And they do lie a certain amount, not nearly as much as big tobacco, but they suppress science like the tobacco companies do. They make claims that overstate the value of a lot of their products the way big tobacco does. They engage in predatory marketing and see evidence. We're one of only two countries in the world that allows television advertising for prescription drugs. So I think big pharma, there's a whole lot of things that are wrong with big pharma. But they're they're a bit different from big tobacco. But by the same token, big pharma is is another, you know, it's a big corporate enterprise. Their goal is to maximize use, not necessarily appropriate use. And that's in fact how we have the opiate crisis. You know, let me let me ask you, this is interesting. And you've been very generous with your time. Is it fair to say that big tobacco is salivating over the legalization of marijuana while big pharma is foaming at the mouth over the possibility of the legalization of marijuana. In other words, big pharma does not want marijuana legalized. This is no, I don't you know, if you go back, one of my colleagues here at UCSF at center research team back to Colorado to interview people it in it who are selling marijuana commercial marijuana in Colorado. And they came back and said, you know, the primary model they're thinking about is the startup model. I'm going to get a variant going, I'm going to get a business going and then I'm going to sell it out.  I'm going to get this going sell it out and make a gazillion dollars. And you know, I I think the big pharma, if they wanted to get into this business, they could make a ton of money too. I think whether it's big tobacco or big pharma or big food or big something else, it doesn't matter. The thing that matters is the corporatization of a of a for profit market, where you comment where you have matter, modern product engineering, modern mass marketing to maximize consumption, and an industry with a political power to make it very, very difficult to fix the mess that Prop 64 is going to create. You know, another problem with 64 is it's like 60 or 65 pages long. It's very proscriptive. And in order to change it, once people realize that, oh, this might have been a problem, they're going to have to go back to the ballot. And then what you're going to run into is just what we're seeing in the tobacco tax prop 56 here in California. We have a perfectly sensible idea for a tobacco tax to get money to reinforce the state's tobacco control program and fund health care for poor people. There's a gigantic $70 million so far campaign being run against it. 99.96% of the money is coming from three cigarette companies. The rest is coming from some smaller tobacco interests. So there's a huge fight going on to do something that makes a huge amount of sense for both a health and economic point of view in California. And it's been fought back by a few big corporations that are going to lose money if it passes. Right. And I think that's what the situation 64 is setting us up for. We have to wrap it up. This has been fast. One of the things that I find shocking from this interview is you say with marijuana use we have to focus more on the head down what marijuana does to our throats and our lungs. That's and heart and heart and blood and blood vessels. Yeah, that's fascinating. And second hand marijuana smoke you say is more dangerous than second hand tobacco smoke. So that's pretty interesting. From the head from the neck up. Is it fair to say that when a doctor prescribes marijuana for anxiety or depression that that it does have legitimate use for treatment of anxiety. I always assume that's just that's just not an issue that I know enough detail about to comment on it. This is an expert as opposed to I do know I do know that heavy use of marijuana in leads to increases in anxiety. But I don't know whether you know a little bit of it might be good. I don't know. But the problem is that it's very, very difficult to do the kind of studies and to have a regulatory process with the FDA for all of its warts and we could do a whole show on everything that's wrong with the FDA. But you know, at least the FDA is there to try to provide a neutral arbiter of whether these claims are valid or not. And I don't know the answer to that. The problem is we don't have a good system in place for getting an answer to that question that the public and medical practitioners can trust. Yeah, the DEA made the decision this year to keep marijuana as a schedule one drug based on the Food and Drug Administration's recommendation. The problem with the FDA is the drug companies pay for the tests that the FDA makes its decisions on, correct? Of some of them, sure. But you know that I think, I know a lot of people with the FDA because they now regulate tobacco. And the FDA corporate culture is very, very, very, very cautious. And I my guess I think it's less than money. I think it's that they're afraid of it. They don't want to get they know that it'll be difficult and they'd be easier to just not get involved. It would be I think it's I didn't get the you know, that's the problem. I don't think it's that they're getting paid off by the drug company. I don't think it's a matter of being paid off. It's just it's who's the FDA charges the industry for the tests. Right. But if they were to start, if let's say we had my view of a good world where marijuana was off schedule one and people were doing proper medical research on it, and then putting products into the FDA for the normal kind of approvals, then they would pay for it too. I mean that I think that the basics you mean you can argue about whether the drug companies ought to be paying for that because that does create a bit of a conflict of interest at the FDA. So the reason there's no reason we don't have enough studies on marijuana is we live in a country that is controlled by big money. And there isn't enough big money behind the marijuana industry to coerce the FDA into conducting more and more studies on marijuana. So it remains a schedule one drug because the FDA doesn't know enough about marijuana. Well, I don't think that the bad guy here is that they based on our experience because I was been involved in the study we did on second and marijuana smoke and heart disease. I can it's not the FDA. They were never an issue. It's the DEA. They made it. It took my colleague Matt Springer who led this research two years to get all the approvals that he needed. And I mean UCSF is like four blocks from Haydashbury and for them he couldn't just walk down there and buy the marijuana cigarettes on the street. We had to get them from the National Institutes of Health and he had to put a special safe in his office to keep the marijuana cigarettes and the the amount of paperwork and regulatory grief that he had to go through to just do this study was gigantic. So I think the big problem is the DEA. You know, I don't think he didn't get to have any problems with the FDA. The NIH thought it was a great idea. But the the when he tells the story when he lectures, I mean, you know, you could put them on your show. It's it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Some of the things that he had to go through in order to expose rats to marijuana secondhand smoke. It was ridiculous. Dr. Stanton Glantz is the author of cigarette papers, among other books. And he's also professor at the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. And he's voting no on Proposition 64 in California, which would legalize recreational marijuana use. He's against it because he doesn't believe it has a framework for proper public health. So I thank you for joining us. And I hope you come back real soon. Thank you, Doctor. We'll tell you about a podcast that I listen to to my friends host it. And I think you should listen to it. Andrew Goldstein, maybe you remember him as my Jew on some of our more popular episodes of the David Feldman show. Andrew Goldstein is a brilliant comedy writer from MTV and Race Wars. And Matt Matt Matt Goldich writes for late night with Seth Meyers, brilliantly funny comedian and comedy writer. They have a new podcast. You can download it on iTunes. It's called Sorry, I've been so busy. You know, everyone always says they're so busy. But what exactly are they so busy with? Well, in their podcast Sorry, Been So Busy writer comedians Matt Goldich and Andrew Goldstein talk to their interesting and funny friends to find out what they've actually been so busy with everything for major life and career events to everyday minutia. Sorry, I've been so busy is the only podcast that will never blow you off unless something comes up.


Now, today, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, announced that in May, only 38,000 new jobs were created. The reason that I am supporting Senator Sanders is because he has had the courage to put squarely in front of the public issues that we as a nation must embrace. The opposition to all of these ideas are not that they are radical ideas, not that they are unworkable ideas. The opposition comes from the fact that, yes, we are stepping on the toes of Wall Street and corporate America and the wealthiest people in this country who, in fact, under my proposal, will have to pay their fair share of taxes. That's all that this is about. We pay for every proposal that we have brought forth, including rebuilding our infrastructure in terms of including making public colleges and universities tuition-free, including expanding and extending Social Security, and I'm delighted that just the other day, President Obama voiced his view that that is what we should be doing. We are going to transform America. We are going to address the real issues facing working families.


Luca Donic, he has entered the MVP picture according to you. Luca is in that third spot right now, in my opinion. He has surpassed SGA on the area.  And the fact that he has Dallas in a position now to potentially take the four seed from the Clippers, get home court advantage in the first round. To me, I think that is one of the reasons why you'll see more voters put him into great consideration. The team has undergone injuries, changing lineups, new acquisitions, and yet Luca has been that stabilizing force throughout the entire year to put them in a position where they could get home court in the loaded Western Conference. So even though he might not have quite as many wins as Jokic, and even though, you know, I think for Dallas you can use the wins against him, how much are you really going to use that when it's six, seven wins difference? To me, Luca has done more than enough on the court to draw serious consideration to win his first MVP.
