Chris Daniels traveled to LA to look into that proposal. Could this work in other parts of the country? No, it's a terrible idea anywhere. The facts are very clear. Global population has people with mental illnesses somewhere in the 25 to 35% range. Those people need help. And hotel workers are not trained to deal with that. Chip Rogers is the president of the American hotel and lodging association, and he says he knows if this policy takes hold in LA, it would spread.

Respect to the murder of Khashoggi, I raise it at the top of the meeting, making it clear what I thought of it at the time. And what I think of it now and this exactly I was straightforward and direct in discussing it. Maybe sees Karen Travers and Erin kurtzke were listening in. The president was asked repeatedly about the fist bump seen round the world, Karen. And he didn't walk away from that. He actually kind of brushed off a question about that. And also didn't step away from calling Saudi Arabia a pariah or saying that he would make Saudi Arabia a pariah back when he was a candidate saying he doesn't regret saying that and what happened to Jamal Khashoggi that horrific murder back in 2018. He said was outrageous, but he doesn't regret that pledge as a candidate, even as he has these series of meetings with The Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials on this two day visit to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Now Aaron, the big question going into this visit was would the president raise the murder of Jamal Khashoggi when he had that face to face meeting with The Crown prince known as MBS and the president yesterday in Israel was not explicit about how he would or would not raise the issue. And today you just heard him now say that he brought it up right at the top of his meeting. He said he made it clear what he thought of it at the time and what he thinks of it now. He says he was straightforward and direct. He made his views crystal clear, and he said, that's important for an American president to not be silent on human rights issues. He says that is inconsistent with who the United States is, and who he is as a president. You heard him say there, I will always stand up for our values. There was a very strong tweet from the wife of Jamal or fiance of Jamal Khashoggi, kind of channeling what she thought Khashoggi would have tweeted, criticizing the president for that fist bump with The Crown prince when he first arrived at the palace in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. The president asked to respond to that said, I'm sorry she feels that way, but again insisted he was straightforward with The Crown prince.

For what it's worth, I'm Brian Clark, disheartening news for younger adults who like to drink, moderately, a large global study finding even that carries health risks. I found that moderate alcohol consumption, which in this study was defined as approximately two drinks per day, which is relatively the maximum that we recommend from the CDC, was associated to an increased risk of harm for those under the age of 40 compared to older age groups. But ABC medical contributor doctor Darien Sutton offers this caveat when looking at younger age groups. There's an association to alcohol consumption and high risk behaviors, which may also change these results. Another study finds increased levels of iron in the brain associated with people who had four drinks a week. Prior studies have shown that increased iron accumulation is associated to early cognitive decline, as well as early onset dementia, but it's important to know when looking at a study like this, it's showing an association doctor Sutton noting this is only a link, not necessarily a cause and effect.
