From the transcript

I want to thank Melanie Banki, Vera Medcalf, Nagruk Karchuk, So many helped us on this, and of course, so many of our incredible ivory artisans who work with us. So I just want to make an announcement. Any out-of-towners from California, New Jersey, or Hawaii, you are now free to go down to the craft store and buy as much ivory as you want. Nobody in California is going to put you in jail for that.
