[000:00:00;00] the w stores now onto the play to play a decisive role in the us presidential elections. latino is may comp 15 percent of the countries eligible voters hotly contested segments with both candidates, eager to win the move in their own way or take them. and i saw that people who does that mean for live channels. the can such a diverse group be set to happen latino,
3:16 am
but the labeling of different ethnic groups is purposely done to, to devise these groups. you have those people who feel strongly about one way in those that feel strongly about the other ones that is not not female, both ladies americans. the journey begins in miami, a city when most spanish has spoken, then english today over 65000000 people almost at fits with the anti us population on the tina. they come from countries like mexico el salvador, cuba or the us territory of point to rico. that boats could have a decisive impact on the presidential election. what issues are important to them, and what are the views of the country? to find out we visited 3 states when latino has play
3:17 am
a significant role. pennsylvania, california, and florida smile. he lives here in miami. she grew up in the dominican republic. adoptive studying is all integrated to the us in the 1990 is not when somebody's just stopping out, just looking to see what goes in the back. it says from my side it says from and the product says from and if you want to view others, i says from to. so i lower the window, he goes, let's see of late trump. he's gone. i know then i go was sent to despise yourself, having me create to to the us. she supports republican donald trump's is strict immigration policy is one from strategy is going to support massive support days if necessary because it brings 3 or 4 years. we have massive inmate invasion,
3:18 am
has to be massive deposition, and we're not talking about the people that, that, that weird already here. everybody learns that within the last 3 years have not been coming on here. as an immigration attorney, she helps people who have come to the country, legally, all who qualify for permanent residency. today, she has a meeting with a client outside of miami. my dear, can i come in there? because last time i 5 here, they wanted me to take my legs out. i, they are there. they are. those are the processors family. they hit me. i had them back in front of the immigration office, thousands of waiting for their appointments. the on the line, the people in the line of the complaint about maybe attorney that i have a flag and the i'm on 40 in the really give me a break. i'm an american that they are not for my
3:19 am
clients. they loved me because they know, you know, i 5 for them. it's not the matter if i'm supporting some that will be better for them because if they know i, i am some friends. they go and i feel like, well, you know, i'm with her. and as strong as her friend, he's not gonna do anything to me. that was exactly, and i think that your wife alonzo, by the 3rd time she is from guatemala and wants to stay in the us permanently. her children were born here. and unlike all citizens, he has a lawyer as open support for donald trump is met by many with opposition. that was, it was a lawyer he's doing, he's not, you know, he's still silly, feasible. you know, he's saying that a events, it fits the they are saying that he's going to the court everybody. everybody
3:20 am
seemed res. not on these ladies coming here. we've got drummed a on a new stuff. say that, i mean, they shouldn't be allowed to do that. activist regularly meet in front of the immigration office. they want to all the migrants, not just the food and drinks, but also hope all journey takes us from florida to california common irises home state. many a side left mexico with us on the modem 50 years ago to make a fresh start here in napa valley, north of san francisco, within just one generation to say a family is work that way up from simple vinyati work. today they own their own winery. that's the my husband says, brother of mine though. that's me and does my sister in law, my dad, without us immigrants,
3:21 am
especially from mexico because over 90 percent of the workers in the vineyards hail from mexico. there wouldn't be any of this amazing wines that were making nor food on our table because any rooms are willing to do all the hard work. each hard work that doesn't always pay off migrant farm workers, often especially hot hit by poverty, winery owners. but it's not an american roots like amelia or rat. it's no wonder that for many latinos issues like inflation, the cost of living and the health care system. ok, crucial for amelia. however, the electro decision isn't about heritage. we're all one safety we all one is facing for our families that they're safe, their shelter. they have no food and access to an education. we all of us
3:22 am
university one same thing. experts and associates alliance from florida also believes it's difficult to speak off of a latino vote. what do you think about health care education? these are things that worry everyone that concerned everyone. we have many of the concerns that most americans have you think about housing who think about transit. i think climate is certainly probably a greater concern in south florida because of where we are and what we're already experiencing for the past 8 years with n g o, miami, sweden project, she's been working to increase latino to turn out to ensure that needs that being addressed by the political parties if you come to latinos and you just think i go, i'm just gonna speak to them in spanish, but you're not speaking to them about it. and so it is front of p fast, the red dot c a show wherever it's being detected. the blue tops by contamination is suspected, so i'm coming up to and from what it the map is fall from comprehensive and with shocking results. on
3:23 am
a line in germany and has 1500 hot spots, many a chemical plant. so add ports and in the case of my home region in south west, in germany, in fields around a 1000 tech tests of from 90 at a highly contaminated. why. how did this become a problem? reach me shanghai reinhardt is a geologist who's an expert at cleaning up p fast hotspots. com dots or via it happened because so called soil conditioners were applied to the fields all for the boot and holes could possibly contain the pope's sledge. a few, in particular from nominated paper products, all the puppy industry. the receipts to dish bits, the popular eggs, people used to, to improve the soil, and instead ended up contaminating it stuff that's in the face it for one device.
3:24 am
it's a patchwork of fields contaminated to varying degrees. timing is any possible, so in limited extent, wells were closed due to high ph pass levels, cleanup operations of rad. this was once a contaminated field. this has been how it was done to hospital and clean ones. guy, nice and hot. 9 might not know. they dug down roughly one meter utah. this material was then placed under a building must be under a 4 slab i seals or the i so that know run off rainwater can see through this material stuff as a kind of like spotlight. these as much as you wish to him cutting the water rain well, she's the p fuss out of the soil and into the ground water. this also supplies local wells, but also keeps on flowing. taking the p f. s. with that these us of i saw plus money, he was the to the water. you can see here is ultimately open ground water. yeah. because there's no gravel. so with that one that's cool. and this water then passes
3:25 am
from over there. so where the basement is by some back into the gravel offer and flows on is ground water use? that's cool because i'll fight off method to i think is that what does that main floor is the properties and feels safe and then the last one, but the one this water is taken to irrigate crops, then obviously that will be a problem. so it continues on to adjust a to this that's done. i'm for beam is the swimming is permitted here. the most it contains be faster, but is regularly monitor 2 kinds of p facet detected most frequently in will to hear. the fellow will pass no row to knowing as each a remnant from the production of no mistake. coatings will pass slow row up to knowing assets, a remnant from the production of no mistake coatings and p false or path flow row obtained so fun. i cast it to used in firefighting site. despite those being pretty much band for years, they've built topping ground floor to as a law jerry is. and it's via this ground floor to the p fast keep policing. eric
3:26 am
rises from every year. he uses millions of liters of water to irrigate his crops. but the water from the wells on his farm is soaked and terminated, that he 1st has to purify it in the silos using activated comp and sites like fruit . steve, when probably is the salt, it's clean in size, there are 2 silos. this is the 1st time cleaning, but some time after we've put in a new carbon filter site, we take the most or samples the money to hold and control, and you can see that it's clean on, so it's on points. so when the carpet is such a rated the p funds break through 20, then we realize it's not working anymore. and that's why the 2nd silo is there to katya, as i say in the system. but i think it's the emergency side of it. so nothing bunt can happen and it's kind of specing on the television or they change the currently we change one side of per year and see what the housing let's call it. so something like this cost more tons basis, etc. all right,
3:27 am
1000 euros. seems of 1000. 0 one i know to i. yes. have you ever considered switching the comp southwest trouble is off. we're going to find like this. well, the reason why it's like having a house with a dead body in the center and then the last to buy it was a lie. you kindly got up this new stuff finally cover. so the situation is a precarious one. yeah, p fast continue to find the way into the environment. why the consequences, a well known and european union. also, retirees have reacted by issuing regulations and prohibiting certain types of pieces in 2006, they banned peoples in 2008 restrictions on food stamps in 2020 a band on p fella and limits on 20 thoughts of p. fast in drinking water, in 2022, a band on personal ro, heck, same cell phone, you can see it. and in 2023, a strict to drinking to directive people stuff and people come and just do what
3:28 am
they want their own rules on the use of p. c. they sufficient all do you items not escape will buy it as a global convention. the currently includes 3 kinds of pay for sort of band worldwide about, but that's the tip of the iceberg. cuz i stock, if you want to add payment has to have a product. you can do that for me or sticking with us for that. and we, we need to get away from the explorer, a chemical music game, and that's just part of a general reorientation and chemical policy. 242. we need, we don't just an energy transition, but a chemicals transition to other under another way of looking at chemical products and thinking about what way using them for. and in walton miles, we need a serious re, single product and go in the the e u. now requires old chemicals to be registered, which involves manufacturers submitting documentation about how safe a substance is. only those of very high concern
3:29 am
a subject to authorize ation. although in the case of p fast that could soon change the you is considering a radical proposal, the production marketing and use of or pass be restricted to the chemical industry is up in homes because exceptions aside thousands of existing p fast could no longer be used in the you, the proposal is now being evaluated by scientific committees, which will deliver their opinions to the european commission. and if at all, unusual as the bond covering, not just individual substance since that the whole not for between mr. yeah. does this seems very on usually a 1st. in fact, in many cases, dfcs are only mostly toxic, but that also it's streaming assistance, which means they can't get out of control. so it's also gonna pull it off. when these refunds, i concluded that due to this persistence problem and the gravity of the situation, it's appropriate to group oil past together. when does that sound almost
3:30 am
unprecedented step in e. u, a one that the chemical industry believes is in fact, because not all p fast, all the same on the pricing. the shed in the netherlands is home to us. company come was dodges to european production site in operation for over 60 years. it makes flow ro pulling as a plastic like p f. s. the water and ground around the plant to highly contaminated to get to come was says the chemicals used in its production. us say that again, we'd like to it's kind of stuck questions directory over that, but go offices in writing and they said without fluoride upon them is semi conductive. batteries and hydrogen technology made in your rep would no longer be competitive. and i saw the fountain dogs, i swim investing 75000000 euros to reduce p 5 submissions. by of the 99 percent,
3:31 am
an over regulation of fluoride polymers would endanger the industrial competitiveness of the e. u. the . so what do the communities affect to have to say the associate in dogtown whole assume income was for polluting the environment tonya, to young. uh, as a member of the co counsel does she really think they'll be able to bring this chemical giants to it's nice. all one is the game here in 90. 61 where frank all, that's the most important move from them for our city. you suit the company, why we think they must have known that when they were here for reducing. and that's, i will claim that to be safe,
3:32 am
or you have known that the chemicals who use opera looting have polluted in the, in those times, our area and uh, our risk for the health, for virus that defense to is due to high levels of peace on the council has already shots, drinking more to wells, and advises people not to eat purchase, grow near the lake or swim minutes. and it's now taking come us to cold. uh, is your goal also that this company is no longer located here? no, that's not our goal. um, because our goal is that the use of the chemicals, the forever chemicals, to pay foss this our goal to restrict them and to get them and get rid of it. and if you say, well, just leave our region and a go to another country, they still have the use of these chemicals. it also takes a lot of courage to do then us and why did 2 indian decide to do it
3:33 am
anyway? i think it's also a statement that's a big companies don't. so whoever fee who will come out sounds, how will the court ruled come was? is liable for the p fast pollution? something i'll be finding out say can lose itself. was there any founded in 2015 as a spin off from the pumps? the us chemical giant is responsible for one of the worst cases of p fast contamination worldwide. the shocking story which has been the subject of several films played out in the us state of west virginia. but i was friends since the 1950s, the palm to be making its test on coaching in pockets. but using the p fast compound p. so products the production waste contaminated the surrounding land and water capital on a neighboring farm. dined on the farm
3:34 am
a himself contract to come along with the suspicious, the high number of all the residents. the resulting legal battle with the pump went home for almost 20 years. it was revealed that the company had known about p f o is toxic effect since the 19 sixty's yet continued to discharge the waste into the environment in the end to contact, to pay around 700000000 dollars in compensation to those effected this heart of and that the health of thousands of people this moment to, to this day, just like in the region i'm from, was like, well i no longer live in the affected area. maybe i should also have my lunch a quick 2nd. i'll get the test results back in a few days time. we evidently need to find a way of doing with out for chemicals. i want to meet people who have discovered alternatives,
3:35 am
and i know just with the field, several fund piece us hotspots as a chemical and oil industry facilities here at the post of roof to them. i can see one reason why when extinguishing major blazes or in training exercises firefights is deployed a huge amounts of size. this foam used to contain large amounts of p fast resulting in the large scale contamination of entire areas. this fire academy firefight is really on how to extinguish flames with p fast free 5. i could pad, so is there. instruct? tapping. i've addressed the deputy chief of the factory fiber gauge. he used to work a lot with the phone that contains p family because today he trains colleagues to
3:36 am
put down the big places using a new kind of fireman to tom. because what makes it different now? yeah, you saw him with on like the old piece on space a 3 m c plus i think this phone does not create an obvious film of water between the burning material and the phone. here, it's the layer of film itself that is active. and you can see this time is stable, it doesn't fully ponce that phase. we can receive them all. and also is exactly what it still covering the combustible material and prevent it from about breathing and possibly re ignited and also dump. yes, we've got $0.05. so this time simply be disposed of normally does the mountains and phone with p f s people. so i think i felt most i'm that needs to be incinerated as hazardous waste and so i can just release it into the environments. yes, that's what happened for decades. on a large scale and with domestic consequences. now it's possible to find even large
3:37 am
files using p fast, free fun. still, it'll be a huge task to train or firefighters, how to use it, and upgrade to thousands of facilities. and what's nice about austin in 1st we had to find out how to extinguish fires and the story was pretty phone based on those. then what adjustments need to be made the equipment and how do we need to clean the vehicles in tanks to ensure that the p fos, from the old tom is really gone and isn't now in the newsome mission of mine. so i'm going to be other than i the people that right away, middle suffolk, there's no, it was a long process i'll consume with no firms to ask about that. and then we had to learn how and develop our own system of the the think. now we know with a major project for every vehicle in the fire extinguishing system itself requires a huge amount of time and money on and they tend to lose right among the 1st product. so a manufacturer has tried to replace piece hospice outdoor gas featuring move to repellant materials. how successful was
3:38 am
a visit found a in southern germany. the company was a pioneer in making p fast free sportswear with other firms following since the funds had of development. bettina hold gives me a tour if the pounds this is water repellant. right? yeah. so you know, they always be fast free now. i them. yeah, yes. yeah. okay. the production of new fabrics is a bit more involved. lots of to generations of developments and lots of trying to narrow the now just as move to resistant and durable as tech styles coated is based on the, the amount of water coming out of the shower is equivalent to heavy rain full. but almost a nice and dry p fast free out to wet west and is now widely available from like a vehicle. it was
3:39 am
a long journey. just the we had to convince the chemical industry to do something and was do we have to convince our supply chain to switch to p, faucet free alternative items, which meant changing entire production processes? let's put test. it just, it was nothing has been split, says they got that. then there were very few, pretty fast free alternatives on the market. much the chemical industry simply didn't offer them because the demand wasn't there. and then we've done. yeah. then com, the some point green piece launch detox i paid was a big focus on p 1st and the outdoor and sort, square industry was publicly taken to task comp and then things really picked up speed i, there was pressure to change. and so the chemical industry got moving to and instead of one alternative, suddenly you have many to try out and do more than those will be included and getting there was all tricky clearly
3:40 am
the industry needs and also time to come up with alternatives. but who is the lease of the industry? exactly. the major manufacturer has a based in the us that produce all life, including in europe, 3 m, known freights that he saves and face masks, is a major producer. yet 3 and plans to quit manufacturing p fast. by the end of 2025. wide, the 3 i will pay more than $10000000000.00 to settle lawsuit surrounding for ever chemicals and drinking water. the us multinational 3 m says it's reached a tentative 10 to the worldwide b. m is facing hundreds of low suits, related to p cost pollution in 2023 and known. it's settled in array of claims in the us by agreeing to pay of a $10000000000.00 in american history. next, i head over to the 3 m subsidy re dining, located in gained off the various largest chemical talk. the pound switch 3 m plans
3:41 am
to close soon lies on the river. it's this region has been battling p fast pollution. for years, the fishing contaminated and drinking water has to be filled since i'm not allowed on the high security factory grounds. so they'll be no interview with dine in. it makes flu road. pelham is used to cope components and chemical plants. and in the production of mike pritchens, the man i'm meeting, he is the chemical pox for my direct to now spokesman for a low be great backing this location. and but he might let me onto the grounds either. instead, he takes me to a meeting room with an aerial photo of the chemical plant on the scene. so we're right up there in that white building does. uh huh. where exactly of the piece that's produced? yeah, the device shouldn't even be filmed down. how's the operations here on the edge of the factory premises?
3:42 am
and in this unassisted 0 of the biggest production facility for federal polymers. the whole 40 percent of the amounts produce in all of europe comes from here, which is not just 3 items large. and so it's a biggest plant of its kind in europe, and the most modern in the world goes down is this thing with dance to unlock it of it. that's what he says. he says, why it's closer as a problem, not just for workers here, but also for european industry. has you on this page industry? i think that's why it was so attached to this pacey, hang on. this was done attached to this location with all my heart and soul. do nothing because for the foreseeable future, a modern industrial size, i just can't do without the sort of polymers that are produced here. and it's not possible for technological reasons. takes the longest coin carbon in florida, and i can from the strong this bond known and chemistry next. and that's why they can't be replaced. can this we can, can use the search to stand out done for now is easy,
3:43 am
but you also can't force other items to behave like flooring and these would this be so it's a material properties of liking soft c. i'm yes, and i agree. gasoline powered car as a kilo of to little polymers in a teaser group, or the other thing. an electric version will have to come to your house onto team kilten. limits. do we want to do without e mobility? when do i want to do without chip reduction or 5 g technology lane of defense key taking a look if it's a fuel cell is hydrogen electrolysis since they're all involved. floral polymer membranes, putting him on the p fast equals no energy transition and no future technologies for the cam. delta spokesman, this seems to be no doubt. his group even expects the market for us to grow does not being for production to continue a gained of the thing that's been getting the industry being against radical restrictions isn't tool that surprising check. but business interests assigned to
3:44 am
they have a point i travel to franklin to visit a small style top quote, you on a 6 which is investigating new ways of making fuel cells. today to fuel cells of all required pumps that contain p fast, like many other hydrogen technologies. oh i, that's all that's about as far as the 16 strong team is he on assist, is trying to change that before the cfo needs along. that tells us how far they've come. this is how fuel cells walk. the fuel cells transform chemical energy from se hydrogen into electric power without combustion. power used to propel trucks. for example, hydrogen protons passed through a membrane only me able to positively charged particles. the electrons travel
3:45 am
through an external circuit producing connect tricity as each cell generates just one volts that combined into stacks, open comprising hundreds of fuel cells. the house of every cell is its proton exchange membrane, which has to be chemically stable, durable, an easy to make, which amounts of the fuel cell contain pieces caught in the membrane in the electrode is made of for flu, rosel sonic acid health, which belongs to the dfcs family us to the p 1st, correct for photos are fluid, also sonic acid has a high proton conduct of $800.00 permeability total factors. that's why p thoughts is a popular option right now. as i'm, as it performs best under the requirements, it conducts protons and sufficiently stabilize the stuff. it says that's what needs replacing things going on, right? there's a 5th to assess and does it work from us from it. we're here to a certain extent and give us a ma. we've already proven its performance and
3:46 am
a full format sound which could then actually be built into the standard of about them. but the technology isn't market ready yet, additional it'll be mark plus us. that's when do you expect to see because it was in the, as we're aiming to have something market ready by the end of the year after next. and then of course, we still have to produce it at scale. how about different understood, but ours aren't the only components in the fuel cell stack that use p 57 of the manufacturers of the gas diffusion layers. i'm a sealants also need to follow sylvester. the additional money from the mattress? oh nothing. hm. the size, the pieces are a necessity in hydrogen technology right now. they're not going forward. so there's investment punishment going on. as of right talk today. we still need peace as sawdust, so as not to nip the versioning hydrogen economy in the bind flesh thickness. but it's very important, these substances the band to ensure that over time green hydrogen technologies really are green and that everyone in the industry works together to develop these
3:47 am
alternatives. so i don't know yet many in the industry are still very mentally fighting change, continue to buy and compete. we get some news from the test. a verdict testing reached in the trial against cameras. the local authority one the judge ruled the cameras actually illegally and was responsible for the pollution. so the relevant communities have a right to compensation. while they continue to fight for p fast to be banned worldwide, the 2 most responded that it is willing to discuss concrete mentions, but not to stop producing p fast to get them back to 0. isn't we really dependent on p, f. s 9? know? mm hm. the film and these companies on that of that they should be searching for
3:48 am
alternatives in many areas they've already started off with them having to find alternative trick is a great up search and innovation of newest icons even feed. and some of us today, the biggest proportion of p fast going to air conditioners, cooling systems, and heat pumps in the form of flu. renee to the gases which he used is refrigerants, the more heat pumps will be needed as we transition to green, a sources of energy. here at the found whole for institution, fryeburg, lena snap is conducting research into the heat pumps of tomorrow. instead of s, gas is they will operate using natural refrigerants, like propane, some manufacturers are already producing these propane heat pumps got 2 different codes. now, trans refrigerants are found in nature, so they're easily tolerated in utah. and that's an exciting aspect when it comes to looking for alternative damage. i'm, i'm just fun. no effect on,
3:49 am
i don't know even how well did i look upon propane is a tried and true refrigerant, and it works just as well as existing refrigerants. and the last for the higher temperatures involved in the renovation of older buildings, it's sometimes even better than the usual refrigerants. the engineer shows me the inner workings of a heat pump, a tangle of pipes and cables. so it seems, well, the small, when you can see that the device like this is meant to heat an entire house. and where does the refrigerant flow here? this is the compressor, it's the component that come sit around. if not trilled propane works just as well, and just being in use for decades, i wonder why did industries replace it with p fast gas in the 1st place?
3:50 am
so pain is vulnerable. that's the big issue. and what it is, it is great. you wouldn't have a problem with having a propane heat pump ahead on. you said that i wouldn't because i have a feeling. so what the company's really put into retrospect, i'd want to measure is to see how much refrigerant you really need and then how much you can reduce the amount to also lower the safety risk. besides physical sign sizes, with heat pumps, then this is the subject refrigerants. containing p fast can easily be replaced, but for as long as they can, industries will keep using s gases and other p fast chemicals. simply because that's so practical that that continued production means that the fast but also to accumulate in the grounds in rain. and also, you know, abilities i have an appointment with the toxicologist from germany's environmental protection agency to see how contaminated my blood.
3:51 am
this is. have you had your test results and is expected we could find for fluent aided chemicals in your blood. and sarah, look, an emergency room for mm hm. the home we found a little more piscolla than before, which is vexing because of the fella is a substance that already has an effect at low concentration. some concepts have soon dropped and your contamination is so high that we can't loud with any certainty that it won't affect your health. we'll see some can bottom. that means what? so yeah, the fact that you're in relatively good company. today we haven't found a single person, children's teenagers or adults i knew where these substances weren't present excuses to finish having enough buys and couldn't. how did they get to my bulging mind cup and it comes to about likely through food and drink. but if you have frequent conception of eggs, efficiency, food, or organ meats or that you know vine is and haven't eaten meat for 30 years. oh isn't oh,
3:52 am
that's tough. it's of course that's good. but also disconcerting when i'm getting him testing. so is it oh, from compass obviously. yeah. yeah. this is the quote is everywhere in the environment is a b, t a is this i didn't vouchers is busy. personally, i find it annoying that we spend so much time discussing whether to take counter measures against forever. chemicals getting lost number guidance so so, so you're in favor of a band opposite. absolutely. invite you to a data on the contamination of children and young people in germany and young people and adults throughout europe shows that our population is too highly contaminated for us to be able to safely rule out effects on danger, as to our health. and thank us, thank you. or what can i do about nothing? ultimately we need laws to prevent more contamination. and the use,
3:53 am
the fast restriction proposal achieves that. industries have been fighting it for months. the main argument being that pieces are indispensable. notions that many of us such is disagree with the escape securely. and they're also talking the individual products, the web piece of the very important to which we call essentially have to come on to additional hot phone. so i'll send a cube sort of tough loan for example. we have them full filter of polymers for dialysis machines, where it's vital does not, doesn't come prostate, talking about what we think i'm team and that's, and that's, and those applications where i p fast are extremely effective and we'll continue to meet them. the launch just a small fraction of the many, many uses at present when the limits in use to these of your final applications with launch the solve. the problem includes the arguments and now being assessed by the european chemicals agency who will prevail that will ultimately be decided by the european commission, the governments of
3:54 am
e u. member states and europe in parliament in 2 a 3 years time. but we still have no access to what can be done about the huge amounts of p, fos that are already in the environment. getting rid of them is like trying to extract the milk back out of your coffee. but despite the difficulties, one attempt is on the way as a nato feels need gemini, is no sea coast. it might look like a giant sun books here as it's anything but a playgrounds. this is all contaminated us as a scientist for that yes order. how many tons, in total again, we assume we need to watch 702800000 tons of various us to get the pieces out of it . just in the past several supplies the washing sounds like a crazy idea. our info is huge and loud. here's,
3:55 am
