From deep inside your audio device of choice. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I want to start this week's edition of this program. I already have. By thanking Super Producer and Engineer Tom Roach, who was kind enough to step in and produce last week's fairly special edition of the show. Thomas, I owe you. I'm not going to pay you, but I owe you. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an exciting week. I think for all of us who are fans of science. I said science. Because the former President of the United States continues his long-running physics experiment upon his indictment, of course. The early results showed that among his supporters, they like his indictment. They like him more for being indicted. I guess they'd love it if he was behind bars.
And who wouldn't? But he is, in fact, at least seems to me, conducting a long-running physics experiment, the point of which, of course, you cannot repeal the law of gravity. But you can delay its enforcement if you're full enough of hot air. Hello, welcome to this show. My father told me lying on his bed of death. Boy, he says, woman, she's going to make it.
Don't fool yourself. Because she's got something to make a man. Live that money right in a hand. The very thing that makes her is, will make you all. The very thing that makes her rich will make you poor. That's right. Well, I'll put you behind the wheel of a new Santa quarter. Yes, I did. Had you living like a rich man's daughter? Yes, I did. I told it. While you were living, how on the whole world?
You had me down her, sculpting like a dog. Well, the very thing that makes you rich may be poor. For a sad night made you rich may be poor. For a sad night made you rich may be poor. For a sad night made you rich may be poor. For a sad night made you rich may be poor.

From New Orleans this is Lucho and now news of the Olympic movement. Produced by Jim Evertsall, the third. A proposed French law for the 2024 Paris Olympics at critics contend will open the door for privacy-busting video surveillance tech in France and elsewhere in Europe. Past and important hurdle this week.
Lawmakers overwhelmingly voted for it. Bill will legalize the temporary use of so-called intelligence surveillance systems to safeguard the Paris Games next year. And the Paralympics that follow. The systems combine cameras with artificial intelligence, software to flag potential security concerns such as abandoned packages or crowd surges, human operators would decide whether action is needed. The French authorities insist the surveillance wouldn't involve facial recognition. I know you, I know you. Sporters of the bill argue that the technology could help avert disasters like the deadly crowd crush that killed nearly 160 people during Halloween festivities in South Korea in October. Yeah, it's like France. It's not about recognizing Mr. X and the crowds of the Interior Minister. The draft is now slated for further fine-tuning by assembly members and senators before its final adoption.
Expected later this month, digital rights watchdog groups argue that France will violate international human rights law by becoming the first of the European Union's 27 countries to legalize AI-powered surveillance even if just temporarily. It's called an experimental basis to safeguard sporting and cultural events in France that are particularly at risk of being targeted by terror attacks. They technologies use, quote, risks permanently transforming France into a dystopian surveillance state. Now, if you ask me, it's about time. An Amnesty International advisor says it's also been well-documented that hostile surveillance technologies are disproportionately used to target marginalized groups including migrants and black and brown people. The draft law says the cameras won't use facial recognition. They're still liable to scrutinize physical traits including people's postures, walks, and gestures.
That's what the critics say. And organizers fear the private firms will not be able to recruit the over 20,000 civilian staff needed to man Olympic security in time, putting pressure on the Army to fill in the gaps. It's from Agile and Sprint's press. Like past Olympic host nation's France, plans to deploy soldiers for securing the summer games. But Army and government sources have been told have told AFP they fear the forces being overstretched. That's right, overstretching the Army at the Olympics. It's completely logical for the armed forces to contribute to Olympic security, send the chief of defense staff, given that it's an exceptional event that can be an exceptional contribution. The real question is planning ahead.
He says organizers fear private firms will not be able to recruit the over 20,000 civilian staff needed to man Olympic security in time. But it's the Olympics. It's a movement. And we all need one. Every day. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the issue of microplastics comes before us again. Yet again, a new study suggests microplastics found in food packaging can pass to human tissue through blood vessels. Well, I'm sorry, I blame the blood vessels. What the hell are they? The research conducted by the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School shows two of the five microplastic polymer types that were found in human veins came from food packaging. The first food packaging based polymer was polyvinyl acetate and adhesive found in food packaging, shipping boxes, bags, and binders for paper, plastics, and foils.
It's also described as being one of the main ingredients of wood glue. Wood together, but has a reason biomedical used in DNA drug delivery. The second was nylon and EVOH EVA, which the scientists explained is used to bond plastic polymers to create flexible packaging materials with blends optimized to improve their characteristics, such as helping to prevent moisture intrusion or tensile qualities. The applications are said to include many uses from food packaging and lamination to multi-layer pipe wire and cable. Come on, we're living the dream. Small pilot study was based on researchers analyzing human saffonous vein tissue taken from patients undergoing heart bypass surgery. As well as they are not suffering enough. Microplastics ladies and gentlemen, they are us.
And now, why it's the apologies of the week? It's so sorry. On Wednesday, a few weeks ago, a white Mississippi news anchor for WBT named Barbie Bassett, I'm just reading him, I'm not writing him. Recited Snoop Dogg's popular catchphrase, Fushizzle My Nizzle, on air. The commentary was in reference to a story about the death row records owners' latest business venture, apparently a wine called Snoop Collie Blanc. Enough of this guy already? No. A fellow anchor, Wilson Stribling, joke that a colleague may get a Snoop Dogg inspired tattoo following, like some Arthur Stewart to which massive replied, Fushizzle Nizzle.
Meteorologist Patrick Ellis was visibly stunned. After that utterance, weeks later, according to local newspaper Bassett may have been fired due to the racially insensitive remarks. The colloquialism is common in African American vernacular English. It translates to, for sure, My N Word. The first instance where Bassett has had to apologize for a racial comment, she was reprimanded back in October of last year, after calling her black colleague's grandmother, a grandmemi. Live on air, Bassett later issued an apology, though not intentionally now understand how my comment was both insensitive and hurtful. I apologize to Carmen Poe, my colleague, now I'd like to apologize to you that is not the heart of who I am and for that I humbly ask for your forgiveness, and I apologize to anyone I've offended.
I will learn from this and participating training so I can better understand our history and our people. I can't mend the hurt my common cause, I'll pray you forgive me and you'll extend grace through this awful mistake, unquote. Local newspaper reports now that Bassett is no longer listed as part of the station's news team. This just out. A day after Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont insulted downtown Houston upon his return home to New England for a visit for the NCAA national championship, he's apologized. Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston said he accepted a phone call and an apology from Lamont and had a good conversation with the second term Democratic governor. Previous day Lamont went on to Connecticut radio programs and called downtown Houston quote but ugly and for good measure God forsaken. Even God can't stand but ugly.
From on say Florida principal believed she was exchanging online messages of Elon Musk she said at a school board meeting Jared McGee trans trusted her online friend so she wrote to them him them. A hundred thousand dollar check from school funds in hopes of receiving future donations. According to conversations from the board meeting and however she said she served learn learn she was being tricked by someone impersonating Musk. Why was he offering her some thirty dollar beer. This from the Washington Post she publicly apologized this week saying she made a mistake but after backlash from parents and administrators at the school you know killed for a she resigned. Some of the schools administrators have threatened to quit if McGee did not step down. So don't be don't be sending money to a fake Elon Musk. Send it to the real guy he really needs it.
Deadline Syracuse New York. A man who spent 16 years in prison after he was wrongfully convicted of raping writer Alice Sebold when she was a Syracuse university student has settled a lawsuit against New York state for five and a half million dollars comes after Anthony broadwater's conviction from raping Sebold in 1981 was overturned two years ago. He signed last week by lawyers for the guy and New York attorney general Latisha James right now has her hands full with the Trump thing. Broadwater said I appreciate what the attorney general has done. I hope and pray that others in my situation can achieve the same measure of justice. We all suffer from destroyed lives. Obviously no money can erase the injustice Mr. Broadwater suffered but the settlement now officially acknowledges them said Sebold in a statement released to a spokesperson. She wrote the lovely bones.
Where is the apology on police arrested broadwater was given the pseudonym Gregory Madison in lucky the book Sebold wrote about the rape. But she failed to identify him in a police lineup picking a different man as her attacker nonetheless broadwater was not tried and convicted into 1982 after Sebold identified him as her rapist on the witness stand. And an expert said micro or microscopic hair analysts analysis had tied broadwater to the crime that type of analysis has since been deemed junk science by the US Department of Justice. The current district attorney for on and dog a county where that trial happened noted that witness identifications particularly across racial lines are often unreliable. He was convicted for a crime he never convicted committed and he was incarcerated despite his innocence while we cannot undo the wrongs from more than four decades ago the settlement agreement is a critical step to deliver some semblance of justice.
To Mr. Broadwater said the tissue James the state district attorney general broadwater is also filed a civil rights lawsuit against the county. Sebold the author apologized to broadwater in a statement released to the associated press as a traumatized 18 year old rape victims I chose to put my faith in the American legal system. My goal in 1982 was justice not to participate in justice and certainly not to forever and irreparably alter a young man's life. And finally a Greenwood Indian a man accused of illegally illegally entering the US Capitol on January 6 will not serve any prison time. Eric Cantrell pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor counterprating and demonstrating or picketing in a capital building he was sentenced by the judge at three months of probation and 40 hours of community service and he apologized. Nice of him to do that. I think we're all grateful the apologies of the weeklights and gentlemen copyrighted feature this broadcast.
Thank you very much.
