- 2:37Speaker 2: No, they it's I swear.
- 2:39Speaker 3: That we were there last year and everybody everybody was fabulous.
- 2:44Speaker 1: You know.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Well, I first went to France.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Paris, oh a zillion years ago when I was in
- 2:51Speaker 1: my early thirties, and uh, France had a reputation for
- 2:56Speaker 1: hating Americans. Now, as I told you, I am a
- 2:59Speaker 1: World War two nutcase when it comes to.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Being just really really into World War Two.
- 3:05Speaker 1: And my girlfriend at the time when I went to
- 3:08Speaker 1: Paris was a French Canadian who spoke perfect French, of course,
- 3:13Speaker 1: with a French Canadian accent, and I.
- 3:17Speaker 2: In reference to World War Two, because I wanted.
- 3:20Speaker 1: To bring the history into my trip, I had her
- 3:23Speaker 1: teach me in French the phrase your mother was a
- 3:29Speaker 1: Nazi collaborator during World War Two, wasn't she? I did
- 3:33Speaker 1: that to waiters, and let me tell you it was.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I got a lot of grief. I got a lot
- 3:40Speaker 1: of grief for that.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:42Speaker 1: And the other one was, oh, you were here on
- 3:45Speaker 1: the Champs de Lyse when the Germans march down here
- 3:49Speaker 1: you had a Nazi flag in your hand waving it.
- 3:52Speaker 2: That was another one that I learned. Yeah, they hated me.
- 3:56Speaker 2: They hate Americans.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Shucking Well, actually they do have reputation. Well it's probably
- 4:03Speaker 1: not there anymore, but you know, people could walk in
- 4:06Speaker 1: and I do remember this without the Nazi reference where
- 4:10Speaker 1: I'd walk in and I would start speaking in English,
- 4:13Speaker 1: you know, slow English, and the French person would only
- 4:17Speaker 1: speak French to me, who spoke perfect English, by the way,
- 4:21Speaker 1: and would just do that for a yets.
- 4:23Speaker 3: You know what the trick is, Bill, is you try
- 4:27Speaker 3: to take a step in their direction, you say, and
- 4:30Speaker 3: you try, and then like, they laughed at me a
- 4:32Speaker 3: lot because my French is awful. But I tried, and
- 4:35Speaker 3: I found that they were very receptive once they went, oh,
- 4:37Speaker 3: at least you're giving it a shot.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I'll tell you what didn't work is speaking English with
- 4:41Speaker 1: an attempt in a fresh French.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Accent man have the cheese.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Ye. That's pretty much. Yet that didn't go very well. Okay,

- 6:16Speaker 2: enough for that. Let's do it.
- 6:17Speaker 1: We have plenty of news today, as you can imagine,
- 6:20Speaker 1: also eight thirty as candle anything, which is always fun.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Handle on the news with Amy and me. No Neil
- 6:29Speaker 1: lead story. Well, a sweep through MacArthur Park local and
- 6:36Speaker 1: feds have gone through multiple arrests and it's a continuing
- 6:41Speaker 1: crackdown on drug dealing and other criminal activity going to
- 6:44Speaker 1: MacArthur park and arresting people is like fishing in a barrel, right,
- 6:51Speaker 1: is that? Catching fish in a barrel? Because all you
- 6:53Speaker 1: have to do is walk in the door and you
- 6:55Speaker 1: get all These thirteen people were arrested influence of narcotic
- 7:00Speaker 1: other six people arrested for less stuff.
- 7:03Speaker 2: So there we go.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Karen Bass said she was in support of the crackdown.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Good for her, and I don't think many people are
- 7:13Speaker 1: opposed to that.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Another night of booms and pops, and some people are
- 7:18Speaker 3: opposed to this. City officials in Long Beach and the
- 7:21Speaker 3: City of Industry warned residents late yesterday that they would
- 7:26Speaker 3: hear helicopters, controlled explosions, and simulated weapons fire sound familiar
- 7:31Speaker 3: The US militaries conducting training exercises in both of those cities.
- 7:37Speaker 3: The City of Long Beach said, to preserve operational safety,
- 7:39Speaker 3: were unable to provide further information regarding the nature of
- 7:43Speaker 3: the training, the location, or the timing. This came a
- 7:47Speaker 3: day after the cities of Irvine and Pasadena also had
- 7:51Speaker 3: military operations simulated.
- 7:55Speaker 1: And there do you ever remember these cities having military exercises
- 7:59Speaker 1: in them?
- 8:00Speaker 2: I mean, in the.
- 8:00Speaker 3: City twenty years, I've never.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Never It's weird.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I mean, the only place I've ever seen is Camp
- 8:06Speaker 1: Pendles in where they do amphibious landings because it's right
- 8:09Speaker 1: there on the Ocean's Camp Penalton, the Marine base.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Well, they're run a base, so they do training a lot.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's yeah, you bet they do it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: It's kind of neat to go zipping down the five
- 8:21Speaker 1: Freeway and see what's going on with the helicopters and
- 8:23Speaker 1: the amphibious voats, etc.
- 8:25Speaker 2: But over your house, over your house, No, not so much.
- 8:30Speaker 3: One, two three. This is going to take a while.
- 8:36Speaker 3: The vote continues in California. In the governor's race, Republican
- 8:42Speaker 3: Steve Hilton is still leading Democrat Javier Bessera by one
- 8:46Speaker 3: percentage point, so the lead's been closed down or narrowed
- 8:50Speaker 3: a bit. Tom Steyer is back six points. Sees it
- 8:54Speaker 3: just over twenty percent. So that's about sixty percent of
- 8:58Speaker 3: the votes tallied by yesterday afternoon. Now in the LA
- 9:03Speaker 3: mayors race, sixty six percent of the votes have been counted.
- 9:07Speaker 3: They're expecting to do another vote drop today. But we've
- 9:12Speaker 3: got Karen Bass obviously in first place. She's moving on
- 9:15Speaker 3: to the runoff and then Nythia Rahman and Spencer Pratt.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Then why the gap is narrowing. Pratt is still ahead,
- 9:25Speaker 3: but Nythia Ramen is gaining ground.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I am going to do a story about why it
- 9:30Speaker 1: takes so long to count ballots in California, and of
- 9:34Speaker 1: course the President's reaction to it, which is always fun. Also,
- 9:38Speaker 1: Tom Steyer, who is third, called one of the election
- 9:42Speaker 1: officials and said, find me eight thousand votes that I'm
- 9:46Speaker 1: willing to pay for them.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Political joke, Thank you very much.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Trump's calling out California. The votes are being counted, and
- 9:57Speaker 3: President Trump went to social media saying that Democrats are
- 10:03Speaker 3: trying to steal the governors and mayor's elections. He says,
- 10:08Speaker 3: here we go with the very late and massive numbers
- 10:11Speaker 3: of mail in ballots. And then later yesterday the President said,
- 10:15Speaker 3: look what's happening in California. The Democrats, right before our
- 10:19Speaker 3: very eyes, are stealing the vote.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Now, I'm going to give Trump a little bit of
- 10:24Speaker 1: credit here because he is not talking about stole machines
- 10:31Speaker 1: being flipped, where votes for Republicans are being flipped illegally
- 10:36Speaker 1: to Democrats. This is only the mail in ballots, which
- 10:41Speaker 1: he views just right on point that mail in ballots
- 10:45Speaker 1: per se are fraudulent because Democrats, for the most part,
- 10:50Speaker 1: do more mail in ballots than Republicans, and he said
- 10:53Speaker 1: they're fraud You know, there are eight states that have
- 10:56Speaker 1: exactly the same program, exactly this same system of mail
- 11:01Speaker 1: in ballots, that is, everybody is registered automatically in the state,
- 11:05Speaker 1: gets ballots and then can vote by mail.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Eight states. How many does they say or fraud one
- 11:13Speaker 2: none of the other states.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And there are a couple of those states that are
- 11:18Speaker 1: Trump supporters Republicans, they will never be fraud because if
- 11:22Speaker 1: if Republican wins, there is no fraud. So I'm going
- 11:27Speaker 1: to do, of course, more about that all of it
- 11:30Speaker 1: at seven am. Talk about why it takes so long
- 11:32Speaker 1: in California to count the ballots, and I'll explain.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Donald Trump is all the rage and the zoo. In Bangladesh,
- 11:45Speaker 3: there's a fifteen hundred pound bull or actually it's a buffalo.
- 11:50Speaker 3: It's a rare albino buffalo with a shock of golden hair.
- 11:55Speaker 3: They've named him Donald Trump, and he's drawing crowds from
- 11:58Speaker 3: across Bangladesh. He became a sensation when a farmer noticed
- 12:02Speaker 3: that his blonde tuft of hair really kind of looked
- 12:05Speaker 3: a lot like Donald Trump's hair, and yeah, don't have
- 12:09Speaker 3: a picture, and it does.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like his hair. It does.
- 12:12Speaker 3: So I'm gonna put it on a si Instagram.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Oh dude, it is so much. It is so fun.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And then they've put this particular.
- 12:23Speaker 1: It's particularly a buffalo in a China shop so people
- 12:27Speaker 1: can see him.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Another political joke.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Yeah, but they were going to slaughter him and they
- 12:31Speaker 3: decided not to, and they put him in a zoo
- 12:33Speaker 3: and he's drawing huge crowds because everybody wants to see
- 12:35Speaker 3: the Donald.
- 12:36Speaker 2: I think he's albino, isn't he.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Yes, he's a rare albino buffalo. But I think it's
- 12:41Speaker 3: the Donald Trump hair that's attracting people.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I agree completely. Yep. This is if Donald Trump were
- 12:46Speaker 2: a buffalo. This is what he would look like.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Finally funded, the Senate early this morning passed legislation to
- 12:57Speaker 3: fund immigration enforcement agencies after weeks of delays and backlash
- 13:02Speaker 3: about the one point seven seven six billion dollar settlement fund.
- 13:08Speaker 3: It threatened to derail the bill, but that has been
- 13:11Speaker 3: removed from the bill, and so senators voted fifty two
- 13:15Speaker 3: to forty seven for the seventy billion dollar legislation to
- 13:17Speaker 3: fund immigration and customs enforcement and border patrol for the
- 13:20Speaker 3: next three years.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Hey, do I have this wrong? By the way?
- 13:26Speaker 1: What that in fact, that program of the weaponization money
- 13:33Speaker 1: is still in there that the president has the ability
- 13:35Speaker 1: to do it.
- 13:36Speaker 2: That he won on that one. Am I reading this wrong?
- 13:39Speaker 3: It's still in there. But then there was a different
- 13:42Speaker 3: vote on a different legislation, rights legislation after.
- 13:47Speaker 2: That, but he got but he got blocking it, but
- 13:49Speaker 2: he got it. He got the vote.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's clear if that'll ever happen because.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Well, that's a political issue. But it's in there. The
- 13:58Speaker 1: fight he won. The fight where you had Republican senators
- 14:04Speaker 1: that were screaming against it. Only one Republican flipped, by
- 14:09Speaker 1: the way, they all lined up.
- 14:12Speaker 2: If the president wants it. The president wants it now.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Can you imagine, and you're right, how many people are
- 14:18Speaker 1: actually going to get it?
- 14:19Speaker 2: Can you imagine if.
- 14:20Speaker 1: One just one of those January sixth defendants, excuse me,
- 14:26Speaker 1: patriots who were upholding the constitution, if one of them
- 14:30Speaker 1: gets money, can you imagine the full political fallout? Yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 1: it's crazy, I mean, it's just gotten insane. Okay, moving on,
- 14:41Speaker 1: I can go nuts on this one.
- 14:43Speaker 3: John Bolton's taken the deal. So former Trump advisor turned
- 14:48Speaker 3: Trump critic John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to
- 14:51Speaker 3: retaining national security information. He was charged by the Department
- 14:59Speaker 3: of Justice. Part of the deal, Bolton will be arraigned
- 15:02Speaker 3: again on June twenty sixth. He will point, at which
- 15:06Speaker 3: point the judge will have up to ninety days to
- 15:08Speaker 3: render a sentence. He could face up to five years
- 15:12Speaker 3: in jail. He has already agreed to pay more than
- 15:15Speaker 3: two million dollars in restitution.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I can't imagine he would get five years in prison
- 15:21Speaker 1: first defense now not a chance, but aguen to pay
- 15:25Speaker 1: two point twenty five million dollars in restitution.
- 15:28Speaker 2: My goodness, that's a lot of.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Money, which apparently it's about the amount that he earned
- 15:33Speaker 3: on his book, which is where the classified information showed
- 15:38Speaker 3: up allegedly. Time to Go Supersonic, a widely touted successor
- 15:48Speaker 3: to the Concord, which is capable of completing the London
- 15:52Speaker 3: to New York route in less than four hours, is
- 15:55Speaker 3: getting closer to its maiden flight. NASA's X fifteen quiet
- 16:00Speaker 3: supersonic research aircraft is currently undergoing final safety evaluations ahead
- 16:05Speaker 3: of its inaugural journey. It's expecting to go mock one
- 16:09Speaker 3: point five.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Yeah, not as fast as the Concord.
- 16:13Speaker 3: But I think how fast did the Concord go mock to?
- 16:18Speaker 2: I want to win to mock.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Twoh, which is thirteen hundred and fifty four miles per hour.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is not even well, this is quite
- 16:27Speaker 1: below that. But this has to do with instead of
- 16:29Speaker 1: a sonic boom, sort of a sonic not not much
- 16:37Speaker 1: of a boom. And that's the big That's why the
- 16:40Speaker 1: Concord could never fly over land. It could only go
- 16:43Speaker 1: over the Atlantic Ocean.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Does it just go boom boom, boom, boom boom the
- 16:48Speaker 3: whole way?
- 16:49Speaker 2: I think it goes boom boom boom boom. Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 1: It depends on where you are. Yeah it you know what.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, and I should
- 16:58Speaker 1: and I did talk to I've got to talk to Yeah,
- 17:03Speaker 1: Rod pile on that we can to do one more
- 17:06Speaker 1: and take a break.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Something fishy about this angered that a fellow cop used
- 17:12Speaker 3: the officer's microwave to heat up fish A detective allegedly
- 17:16Speaker 3: pulled his gun and pointed it at the other officer.
- 17:21Speaker 3: He was at police headquarters in Myrtle Beach Saturday when
- 17:24Speaker 3: he got into a dispute with another patrolman. He confronted
- 17:28Speaker 3: the patrol mon about warming up his fish in the
- 17:31Speaker 3: microwave because it caused an odor in the office.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand that.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Have you ever smelled microwaveable fish or microwave fish? It's disgusting,
- 17:41Speaker 1: and so, yeah, he was arrested. I think he's got
- 17:44Speaker 1: a complete defense here. I don't think any jury would
- 17:46Speaker 1: convict him because.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Every year stinky fish.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Yeah, every jurors smelled fish in a microwave, all right, Well.
- 17:54Speaker 3: From stinky fish to something squirming in the Spaghettios in
- 18:00Speaker 3: Floridas sued Campbell's and Walmart, saying she found moving parasites
- 18:04Speaker 3: in a can of spaghettios. Mary Hubbard says she bought
- 18:08Speaker 3: the spaghettios in June of twenty twenty four at a
- 18:12Speaker 3: Walmart supercenter in Oki Chobe, Florida. She says she opened
- 18:16Speaker 3: up the can, served it to herself and her child,
- 18:19Speaker 3: and then after eating part of it, she said she
- 18:22Speaker 3: noticed what appeared to be worms and or parasites moving
- 18:26Speaker 3: in the food. She says she took video of it,
- 18:30Speaker 3: and then she also says that due to that contamination,
- 18:34Speaker 3: she had severe health effects, suffered serious permanent injuries, including
- 18:39Speaker 3: a parasitic infection, gastro enteritis, and more.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Okay, couple things I want to point out there's some
- 18:46Speaker 1: legal issues here.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Stop that, Michelle.
- 18:48Speaker 1: If you've ever eaten spaghettio's, you know that parasitic worms
- 18:53Speaker 1: can only help the spaghettios.
- 18:56Speaker 3: They are bad, aren't they?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, they're pretty bad. The other thing are the damages.
- 19:02Speaker 1: This is always comes up. You have a rear ender, right,
- 19:06Speaker 1: you have a rear in accident, you've been hit at
- 19:08Speaker 1: three miles per hour. Permanent injuries, emotional distress, hysterical, never
- 19:13Speaker 1: be able to sleep again. In her case, I would
- 19:16Speaker 1: love to know what permanent injuries are. I have no idea.
- 19:21Speaker 1: And it's if she never ever hears the word spaghetti again,
- 19:26Speaker 1: she will get hysterical. Well that's or o's this. You
- 19:31Speaker 1: can't say o's around her because it's going to put
- 19:35Speaker 1: her in a PTSD. Land And now they're asking seventy
- 19:39Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in damages from Campbell's and Walmart. They're
- 19:42Speaker 1: also blaming Walmart because Walmart didn't know, or Walmart should
- 19:47Speaker 1: have known, because Walmart should have opened every single can
- 19:50Speaker 1: of spaghetti O's to find out if there are parasitic
- 19:54Speaker 1: worms inside.
- 19:55Speaker 2: So okay, let's go after Walmart.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Two and she bought the can in twenty twenty four.
- 19:59Speaker 2: It said, righty, well, yeah, you could make the same
- 20:02Speaker 2: wild though.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Yeah, but seventy five thousand dollars in damage when you
- 20:05Speaker 1: talk about permanent damage. No, if it's true, you're going
- 20:11Speaker 1: for a hell of a lot more than seventy five
- 20:12Speaker 1: thousand dollars in damages. So okay, parasitic worms good for you,
- 20:18Speaker 1: better tasting than any canna spaghettios would ever be.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Not exactly right. Orange County health officials are walking back
- 20:28Speaker 3: a claimed that no vapor or fumes were released during
- 20:31Speaker 3: that chemical tank crisis at the Aerospace Company and Garden
- 20:35Speaker 3: Grove two weeks ago. State officials maintained that any leak
- 20:39Speaker 3: did not pose major health risks to the public. So
- 20:42Speaker 3: officials with the Orange County Fire Authority said that there
- 20:46Speaker 3: was off gassing with some fumes and a vapor release
- 20:49Speaker 3: from the tank. Remember this all happened right before Memorial
- 20:52Speaker 3: Day and during Memorial Day. But then the county health officials,
- 20:57Speaker 3: doctor Regina chinci O Kwon said daring a meeting media
- 21:01Speaker 3: briefing on Memorial Day, that there was no contamination and
- 21:04Speaker 3: no fumes.
- 21:05Speaker 1: All right, so there was so guests, I'm guess seeing
- 21:09Speaker 1: that there was, and they said there wasn't. What a shocker, right,
- 21:13Speaker 1: what a shocker? Now the good news it doesn't look
- 21:16Speaker 1: like there were. Well, no, they're going to be permanent injuries.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I guarantee you because of the vapor you smell it,
- 21:23Speaker 1: you're permanently injured.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Of course, there's gonna be a lawsuit or several.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Here the evacuated fifty thousand people, and there actually are
- 21:32Speaker 1: some damages here. You have to get out of dodge
- 21:34Speaker 1: and you have to go someplace. You can't cook at home, hotels,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and there's a serious there's damage. Oh we heard yesterday.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I was in the car with Lindsay and what came up?
- 21:48Speaker 1: The cards for a kids jingle? Wait a minute, yeah, yeah,
- 21:54Speaker 1: what the longest running cars for kids jingle? With those
- 21:57Speaker 1: kids who are now out there and you can find
- 22:02Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how they are drug ethics hookers.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing now. By the way,
- 22:08Speaker 1: that is a joke. I want to point that out.
- 22:10Speaker 1: It's parody, just in case someone's going.
- 22:11Speaker 2: To sue us.
- 22:13Speaker 1: But moving on, I thought they weren't going I thought
- 22:16Speaker 1: they couldn't do it.
- 22:17Speaker 3: Well, they might not be able to, but they can
- 22:21Speaker 3: for now. An appeals court ruled that Cars for Kids
- 22:24Speaker 3: ads can be played on the air in California while
- 22:28Speaker 3: the appeals process plays out, so it's still making its
- 22:32Speaker 3: way through the court system. Last month, Orange County Superior
- 22:35Speaker 3: Court Judge Gassia app Carrion ruled that the ad violates
- 22:41Speaker 3: the state's false advertising law and ordered the nonprofit to
- 22:44Speaker 3: stop airing the ads in their current form.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Why because it turned out that the money was fundeled,
- 22:52Speaker 1: for the most part to Orthodox Jewish programs in New York,
- 22:56Speaker 1: New Jersey and the Middle East.
- 23:00Speaker 2: So there you go, going up.
- 23:06Speaker 3: But it's your own fault. Governor Newsom's defending the California
- 23:10Speaker 3: gas tax as the national average fuel cost in the
- 23:13Speaker 3: US continues to remain above four dollars a gallon. Wouldn't
- 23:16Speaker 3: be nice if it was four dollars a gallon. Here
- 23:20Speaker 3: New York posts claimed that California had hiked its gas
- 23:24Speaker 3: taxes again, which it does. Yeah, but the press office
- 23:30Speaker 3: said the story's false because the gas tax increases automatically
- 23:35Speaker 3: to adjust for inflation. And the Press office says that
- 23:40Speaker 3: that decision was voted on by California voters before Newsom
- 23:44Speaker 3: took office, and I was back in twenty eighteen, so apparently.
- 23:48Speaker 1: That and that's before gas was nine dollars a gallon
- 23:52Speaker 1: like it is today. You look at the taxes that
- 23:56Speaker 1: are in every gallon of gas here in California, sixty
- 24:00Speaker 1: cents per gallon, sales tax of ten cents a gallon,
- 24:05Speaker 1: except if you're in La Orange County, it's not ten cents.
- 24:08Speaker 2: It's more than that.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Also, a federal tax of eighteen cents that goes across
- 24:16Speaker 1: all fifty states. So we're at a minimum of eighty
- 24:20Speaker 1: eight cents per gallon in taxes for.
- 24:25Speaker 2: The gasoline that we buy. Isn't that special? Yep? Okay,
- 24:34Speaker 2: let's go ahead. That's taxes.
- 24:37Speaker 1: And the only reason taxes go up every year is
- 24:41Speaker 1: because we did. We voted in a cost of living,
- 24:45Speaker 1: because God forbid, we want our taxes ever to go
- 24:47Speaker 1: down and inflation. If you don't don't factor in inflation,
- 24:52Speaker 1: then the tax does drop simply by a way of inflation.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Haven for road ragers, Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando
- 25:03Speaker 3: Valley has been named the country's most passive aggressive road.
- 25:08Speaker 3: A trucking company did a survey of thousands of motorists
- 25:12Speaker 3: in May of twenty twenty six to identify roads and
- 25:14Speaker 3: routes most likely to cause passive aggressive driving, including tailgating, blocking, merges,
- 25:20Speaker 3: breake checking, and excessive honking. And Ventura Boulevard, known for
- 25:25Speaker 3: its endless drivers pulling in and out of local businesses
- 25:28Speaker 3: in valets, causing heavy traffic backups, scored number one.
- 25:32Speaker 2: You bet well.
- 25:33Speaker 1: First of all, I grew up in the San Frano Valley,
- 25:36Speaker 1: so I can't tell you how many hours I have
- 25:38Speaker 1: spent on Ventura Boulevard, and there are it seems like
- 25:42Speaker 1: every restaurant, every shop in the San Frano Valley, which
- 25:46Speaker 1: has a couple million people in it, is on Ventura Boulevard.
- 25:50Speaker 2: And I've experienced this.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I used to go to Indian restaurants constantly, and the
- 25:56Speaker 1: drivers where the turbanes slipped down over their eyes or
- 26:01Speaker 1: just there was a disaster. And we go to a
- 26:05Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant and even when the police walk in. You
- 26:08Speaker 1: see the employees bailing out of windows, even I mean
- 26:12Speaker 1: there is I can see that and I've experienced it.
- 26:16Speaker 2: It is. It's a drag. It's not a drag strip,
- 26:21Speaker 2: but it's a drag.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Facial recognition well did its job, and that's led to
- 26:29Speaker 3: a lawsuit. Amazon has been sued by a guy in
- 26:32Speaker 3: Virginia who alleges privacy violations when ring doorbell cameras at
- 26:37Speaker 3: his friends and relatives' homes gathered and stored images of
- 26:41Speaker 3: his face utilizing facial recognition software. Charles Siegwald is pushing
- 26:46Speaker 3: for class action status. He sued Amazon in federal court Monday,
- 26:50Speaker 3: claiming that a feature known as familiar Faces preserves images
- 26:53Speaker 3: of anyone who passes by without their consent. He's suing
- 26:57Speaker 3: for five million dollars in damages.
- 27:00Speaker 1: A couple of things about that, legally, anyone who passes
- 27:03Speaker 1: by on the sidewalk or on the street, even in
- 27:07Speaker 1: a car, it is that's no apps expectation, There is
- 27:12Speaker 1: no privacy, so that's not going to fly. And the
- 27:15Speaker 1: other thing, on a practical measure, how many bad guys
- 27:19Speaker 1: have been picked up by facial recognition or by recognition
- 27:23Speaker 1: in general. Does all that stop and we go back
- 27:29Speaker 1: to we're not going to be able to use facial
- 27:31Speaker 1: recognition software when it helps so much with law enforcement.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I'll tell you who's fighting this a lot. Who are
- 27:39Speaker 2: joining this.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Class every porch pilot pirate in the United States.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Hey, if I steal your stuff, I don't want any
- 27:48Speaker 3: record of it.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That's a whole yep, all right.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Not waiting for the open for business sign. Three mule
- 27:56Speaker 3: dear have become the first animals to walk over California's
- 27:59Speaker 3: first wildlife crossing. And it's not our crossing over the
- 28:02Speaker 3: one oh one. It's in Siskyou County and it is
- 28:06Speaker 3: similarly near completion. But three mule deer were captured on
- 28:11Speaker 3: camera crossing the bridge over a very deadly stretch of
- 28:14Speaker 3: State Route ninety seven where more than fifty deer and
- 28:17Speaker 3: sixteen elk have been hit and killed by vehicles between
- 28:19Speaker 3: twenty fifteen and twenty twenty.
- 28:23Speaker 1: And the big one is in a Gouray Hills, Yep.
- 28:27Speaker 1: It's going to be the largest crossing in the world.
- 28:30Speaker 1: It goes over the one oh one freeway, where mountain lions,
- 28:35Speaker 1: for example, will be able to transverse the freeway because unfortunately, too.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Many of them are hit.
- 28:41Speaker 1: And once this happens, what you will see is pieces
- 28:45Speaker 1: of mule, deer and elk along that overpass.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, clamoring to kill the lizards.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Animal lover.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Residents of Georgia may not expect to find a four
- 29:02Speaker 3: foot long reptile native to South America in their backyard,
- 29:05Speaker 3: but wildlife officials are warning residents to be on the
- 29:07Speaker 3: lookout for an invasive species that is threatening named native wildlife,
- 29:13Speaker 3: spreads disease and disrupts habitats across the region. He looks
- 29:17Speaker 3: like a nice region a lizard, but he's four feet long.
- 29:20Speaker 3: It's an Argentine black and white tea gou can be
- 29:25Speaker 3: more than ten pounds and apparently is eating a lot
- 29:29Speaker 3: of It eats everything.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the problem.
- 29:32Speaker 3: So chicken fruits eggs all of its eggs.
- 29:36Speaker 1: So you have these invasive species of both animals and
- 29:39Speaker 1: plants that come in and cause unbelievable damage. And so
- 29:44Speaker 1: they're saying, go ahead and.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Kill them, just kill them. God, why not. They're going
- 29:49Speaker 2: to have a let's kill a lizard day in Georgia.

- 30:04Speaker 1: those barnacles that are in the bottom of ships and
- 30:09Speaker 1: they eat everything also, so yeah, these people bring these
- 30:14Speaker 1: invasive species and they just take over.

- 30:24Speaker 3: Friday in June and that's today, established by the Salvation
