• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, July the thirtieth, and man, July thirty one

  Speaker 2: or thirty actually looks that up? What is it? Thirty
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: months have November, December, February, March, April.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: And there's a thing on your knuckles, Bill.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I can't see the thing on my knuckles because of
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the tattoos, the prison tattoos, and that cover it up.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: What and that they're dragging on the ground.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: All Yeah, there's a lot to be said there too. Okay,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So the question still remains, is it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: There's thirty one in July?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: There thirty one days again in August, yes, thirty in September.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: In October, October, thirty one in October, okay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Thirty in November and thirty December.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Is thirty one because we rarely have leap Christmases, although
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: when you think about it, for lords, a leaping is
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: not okay, never mind, all right, good morning, Kno, there
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you are. I can barely hear you, but that's okay.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: There you are, Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. And then there's
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the lovely and yet slender Amy. Good morning Amy, Okay. There,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and there's the lovely and yet not so slender Will
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Bill, good morning. And finally, and which we
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: are up in the air as far as slender slenderiosity
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is concerned, we've got dot com.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Are not only you are we are?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm going to be honest. People are
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: very upset of you. Come on, come on such a jerk. Well, yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that's start every show with just being a horrible person,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: because I'm just I'm not starting every show with being
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a horrible person. That's just you know, I wake up
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that way and I go to bed that way. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: by the way, when I say we are talking about it,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you don't have to point out that it's just me
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: because I invoke the royal we we are not amused.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the most insecure man in the world.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: That's actually very true. Yesterday, there we go. Yesterday I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: went to my shrink. I'm back now. I stopped going
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: into a shrink because Costco, of course, was my therapy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: But as my emotional psyche is caving, I now reinstated
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: my shrink appointments, and yesterday, I mean it helps no chair.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to sit in a chair. As you know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: My shrink calls me a worm and makes me sit
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: on the ground, and for some reason it helps me enormously. Okay,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I can't think of much else. And then, of course
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: my line that I've used for years and about me
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: going to a shrink, I go twice a week Tuesdays,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I hate my mother to want to have sex with
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the dogs, and then on Thursdays it's exactly the opposite.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Now do I get in trouble with that?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I do not, because I've been saying that for years.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Moving on, Moving on? Who already twice at Costco this
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: week and it's Thursday, and I'm going to go again,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I think tomorrow, so it'll be three times this week
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: at Costco. I am going to pick up that croissant,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Thatchuro croissant that you send me a picture of, baby, okay,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: because that looks terrific. And that's in the baking aisle,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: So I know it's in the refrigerator section, you wing nut,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: it's a baked good.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Where do you think it's going to be?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But it's one of the fresh baked goods.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: All the bagels and the breads and all of that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: are the croissants are all in the baked section, the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: fresh baked section. But you're saying it's in the refrigerated section.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Is that a clue?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Who was joking?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Oh? I miss that completely, because they they do ever,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: they do ever, they do have refrigerated and frozen bread products.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They do. You know, garlic bread you can buy frozen.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That is delicious, isn't it, Because it's so difficult to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: make garlic bread. You take garlic spread, you put it
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on bread and you bake it, which you still have
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to bake the other kind also, okay, there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Is an art to it. Like the Smokehouse. They know
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: how to make garlic bread.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The Smokehouse they ship all over the world. The Smokehouse
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: frozen garlic bread. Whoever thought there'd be an Indo street
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: of frozen garlic bread and it is? It's well. Smoke
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: House Garlic bread is a is a cult. And it's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: right up the street from us on Kowinga. The Smokehouse
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: has been around since the forties and it's right across
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the street from Warner Brothers. Not Warner Brothers Burbank Studios.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know it is Warner and you see all the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: old time actors, actresses would go there because they watched
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Cross Street when they were filming at Warners. Okay, guys,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you ready to do it?
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Not yet, Kno, he's trying to throw out the paramount.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Not yet, Bob.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go. We can do it. Yeah, it is time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It is time for a handle on the news. Amy
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Neil and me lead stories. Well, the US, per the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: president's promise, did launch what are described as powerful strikes
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on Iran after Iran not only went not only attacked
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: US basis in I think it was in Jordan, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: also there was an attack on American troops as well
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: as an American flagged cargo ship in the Strait of
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Horror Moves. And so the President has said he went
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: from there desperate for a deal. We're talking, we have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: great talks going on, which weren't happening according to the Iranians.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Right into here we go again, and the President said,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: We're going to launch strikes. So I'm going to attack
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: them in a way they have never seen before. And
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you know, is that happening? I don't know. The Sentcom
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: said the strikes were a powerful response to Iran firing
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: on US bases in Jordan and the ships and the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: straight of horror moves. Okay, we'll see what happens. Oh,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and Saudi Arabia is now getting involved with targeting Iranian
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: proxies in Iraq, so this thing is expanding.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Jordana Miller was telling us this morning too that for
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the first time Iran is fired on Egypt, hit two
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: of their ships, and that's the first time that anything
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: from Egypt has been targeted. So that might pull Egypt
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: into it too.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Iran is not particularly on its haunches and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: desperate for a deal, as the President said. Doesn't seem
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: that way. Seems like Iran is doubling down, and then
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the President is doubling down. You've got two entities that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: don't easily come to the table and give anything up.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So we will see.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Not so fast. Todd Blanche's nomination to become the next
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Attorney General has stalled. A vote in committee that was
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: scheduled for today has been postponed. The delay came hours
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: after negotiations between the Justice Department and Republican Senators John
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Cornyn and Tom Tillis, and it's over that set that
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: gives Trump and members of his family protection from tax audits.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: But the big sticking point is the resolution of Trump's
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: ten billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS and that Anti
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Weaponization Fund, the one point seven seven six billion dollars
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: that he was trying to use, possibly to help pay
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: legal bills for like January sixth people, but the Department
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: said in June, Justice Department said that it was no
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: longer moving forward with the Anti Weaponization Fund, but that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Cornyn and Tillis are saying, we need additional insurances, assurances
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: in writing that you're never going to try to resurrect
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: that thing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And Blanche will not put it in writing. He says
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it is dead. And the Senator saying put that in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: writing that it is dead. Nope, just basically trust us.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: We're saying it's dead. I don't see the uproar. Among
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I have to tell you I understand Trump
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: because Trump is who he is. I mean, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the people will like said Trump because you know there's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: no hidden agenda there. Trump is very honest about who
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: he has always been. He hasn't changed his views in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: forty years, fifty years, what I don't understand. The Republicans
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: who are fine with Trump having made two billion dollars
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: in one year in his presidency not a problem. Go
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: ahead and use the presidency as a piggy bank. Knock
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: your socks off anti weaponization fund. Also the IRS. You
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and I can't get a deal where the IRS doesn't
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: addit us. But the Republicans are fine with the president,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: his family, his business interests are exempt from any any audits.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: You know, where's the uproar here? I mean, where is it?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I just I don't understand it. I really don't. And
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: there's no limit. There's no limit, right Rand Paul.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: You know, it seems like nobody checks to see if
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: they have the power to do anything anymore. They just
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: come out and say, this is what I'm going to do.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Rand Paul is the latest. He is, as we know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Anthony Fauci. Doctor Fauci has repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Which is one hundred and eleven times.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which is why it exists.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: During the Senate hearing just yesterday, and Republicans were pressing
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the retired government scientist on whether he was sufficiently truthful
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: in the past testimony about the coronavirtus pandemic.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: We all know that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Well, now you've got Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, who
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: has no love for Fauci, saying that he might hold
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: him in contempt of Congress. Now I don't even know
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: if he can.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about that more at seven am.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: But when you talk about the polarization within the government,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: my god, we'll talk about this, the Fifth Amendment and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Fauci and why one hundred and eleven times they there
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: was no interest in questioning Fauci about any of what happened.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: It was strictly an attack, personal attack to embarrass him
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: as much as possible. I'll talk about that later on
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: at seven o'clock, because that's a very big deal what happened.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Holding steady. The Fed on Wednesday held its benchmark lending
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: rate unchanged at a range of three point five to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: three point seventy five percent for the fifth consecutive meeting.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't unanimous, and the new FED Chairman, Kevin
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Worsh said he asked for a good family fight and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he got one. He's got three of the Fed Commissioner's President,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Beth Hammock of Cleveland Neil Kashkari of Minneapolis and Lori
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Logan of Dallas dissenting in favor of a quarter point
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: rate hike.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not the interest rates are not
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: going to go down as President Trump wants them to,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: because that turbo's the economy. But it also turbos inflation,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and so how do you deal with inflation? Raise interest
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: rates and that slows down the economy because it is
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: it gets too hot, and that's where the Fed has
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to draw this line, has to navigate this very narrow
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: line between inflation, the economy, and the President is upset
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: or was upset. I mean, he was insanely upset with
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Jerome Powell, who just wouldn't pay attention to the president.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Just did what he said. I'm going to do my job,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and we'll see. It looks like at this point Kevin
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Walsh is doing much the same thing. We'll see how
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: it pans out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: We talked a little bit about Cult Gray yesterday. He
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: was sentenced to life in prison. He's the teenage school
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: shooter that we heard about. Now his father is appearing
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: in the same courtroom for his own scenting sentencing. If
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: you remember Major Land Mark caith, which is really looking
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: at the responsibility for mass shooting and putting it on
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: the parents.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Why on the.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Father in this case, while he bought his son an
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Ar fifteen style rifle as a Christmas gift, left it unsecured,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: brother despite warnings his son was a danger to others.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what he used in that Epalanchi High
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: school there in twenty twenty four.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: So he was convicted of.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: The son.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the son was convicted of murder and manslaughter. But
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: now this is looking at the file the father and
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: look at convicting him of murder.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is unusual. I think you're going to see
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: this more and more as these stories come out, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: this is going to be the poster child. I mean,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the facts here are so blatant. The father is told
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: over and over again, your kids at risk. The kid
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: had said he has mental problems, and dad still boughtom
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: an Ar fifteen for a Christmas present and as Neil
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you just said, left it unsecured. Pretty clear cut this case.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Now we'll see what happens in cases there more are
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a little more subtle.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Pardon me, Nope. The US Senate has unanimously passed a
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: resolution declaring its opposition to any presidential pardon for Gallaine Maxwell,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the long time Jeffrey Epstein associate. She's currently serving a
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: twenty year prison sentence for sex trafficking crimes. The resolution,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: while unanimous, is non binding and symbolic.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, the president has pardoned a whole lot of
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: folks on civil well, no, there were criminal grounds, but
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: for financial crimes. We know that crypto people. And of
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: course the January sixth, the rioters. Now, if this one goes,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: we already know. Julie Masquell has been given special treatment.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: She was after Todd Blanche talked to her, interviewed her.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: She was transferred from a minimum security prison to a
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: low security prison of which child molester's predators never go to.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: And she was given this incredible break. And you see
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: her with a video and how great in her letters
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and phone calls. Yet this is great, much much better. Now.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine the president pardoning her for what reason?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I could throw some reasons out there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine it happening. But you know, for example,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: she knew of certain things that the president or his
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: cronies were involved with, and said and said she didn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: to defend the president. No idea, I'm just throwing that
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: out there. I have no idea, but I question why
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: she was put into this other prison. There's no reason
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: for that, and it was after Todd Blanche. So now
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: if the President, in some crazy move does pardon her,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: and we're talking about pardoning and convicted child predator, can
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you imagine the political fallout that's going to happen? Not
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: so much for the president done.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: What do you mean how there's so much speculation and
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: concern about his involvement. Even Republicans are turning on him
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: about it. Right, that would just seal the deal. It
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: would seal the deal. But as he said, he doesn't care.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: He has done with politics, although he's still going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: be a kingmaker, I think to some extent. And then
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: what happens not so much for the President, and it
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: would not be so much for congress people and senators
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: who would be elected during that cycle.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: It would be the following cycle. Every Democrat would literally
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: run as just saying a Republican pardoned a child predator.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And this Republican legislator says he or she is a
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: vehement follower of the president, That's what's going to hurt
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of these Republicans because what they do is
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: they say, you know, I believe in our president. He
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: does no wrong. Our president is great. We have to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: he knows better than anyone else. Well, I we'll see
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: what happens inflation, the war. I think the are some
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: political problems. This would be the ultimate. This would be
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the ultimate screw you if the president were to do that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Do I think he's going to do it? No. I
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: cannot imagine the president doing this. But I gotta tell you,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I never thought that would be a pardon the fifteen
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: hundred people that overran the capitol either, that never occurred
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to me that that was possible.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: A horrible story beautiful animals. A death of fifteen elephants
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: in Kenya and their national park obviously has people outraged.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: There's an investigation going on. Not only was the death
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: of these fifteen elephants spanning over just one month they'rein
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: in southern Kenya's national park there, but they had no
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: understanding as to what this circumstance was.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: So people are freaking out.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I know they are concerned of other things too, like
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: wildlife tourism, but the crazy thing is they're concerned that
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: maybe it's poisoning. They know that it's not some sort
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: of you know, sickness that went through its one family,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: they believe, and some of them lived, many of them didn't,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: and they.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Had partial paralysis.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look like poaching, which is the big deal
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: with this. I mean, it's a heartbreaker. And elephants are
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: very herd like animal. They're very close, they have family
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: ties to stay forever. And when an elephant dies, the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: other elephants circle it and they actually mourn the death
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: of an elephant. It is extraordinary to see and it's yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: it's a heartbreaker. It really is. Because elephants are extra
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: ordinary creatures.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: They are.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Well, nothing less, forever. Well except chemicals. Lawmakers in California
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: have rejected legislation that would have banned pesticides with so
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: called forever chemicals from being used on farms in California.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: It's a restriction that was strongly opposed by the state's
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: billion dollar agriculture community. The groups argued at committee hearings
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: last month that banning the chemicals was an overreach that
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: would end up with higher numbers of imports of food
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: from other states, and it would also stifle innovation in
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: developing new pesticides.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's unfortunately they're getting rid of pesticides. And pesticides
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: are great. People don't understand how they're actually good for us.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Nitrates are particularly good for us, and hot dogs. I
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: actually look for nitrates and foods.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: One can hope.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: All right, this is not a surprise to anybody. Bill
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: has talked about that he felt this was going to come,
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: and that's President Trump and the DOJ are petitioning the
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court to review writer E. Gene Carroll's eighty three
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: point three million dollar defamation award. She won that after
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: accusing the president's sexual assault. So the administration wants to
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: invoke a law that allows the federal government to step
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: in when one of its employees stares down a lawsuit
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: over something within the scope of their job. I'm not
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: sure how he'll do that, but you know, if this
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: is successful, he'd be off the hook for the damages.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Right. No. I have no problem with the president defaming
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: someone then calling it part of presidential duties and somehow
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: hoping the court says, yeah, you're right. Anything the president
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: says is exempt from retribution or exempt from being attacked
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: this I keep on saying, you know, it's getting crazier
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and crazier, isn't it? Sure? Why not?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Dems have the edge, a big one. There's less than
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: one hundred days before the midterm elections, and according to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: a new CNN poll conducted by SSRs, Democrats lead Republicans
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: in the generic ballot by eight points among registered voters.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: They also hold a significant advantage in voter enthusiasm and
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: have a twenty point advantage in preferences among those who
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: say they're extremely motivated to vote.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's different stats here. You can look at
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: these polls in many different ways. I've seen analysis in
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: which the Dems are only slightly ahead, others where they're
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: massively ahead. As the war continues and inflation keeps on
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: ticking up or even staying the same as it is now,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to see, and I think you are going
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to see a wave of Democratic victories. And it's almost
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: certain the House is going to flip, but there's even
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: talk the chances are much harder, but that the Senate
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: flips also, And so the only thing I'll be left
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: for the president would be executive orders. He wouldn't have
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson. To god, what does he do for dog tricks?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: If Mike Johnction, Mike Johnson is not there, does he
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: actually have to train a new speaker.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: It's always the most difficult part.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It really is. And instead maybe instead of okay, talk
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: talk uh and paw paw, which happens right now with Johnson,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll have a much harder time talk.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, we'll get it out of your system.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I know I'm not getting out of my system. I
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: am so disgusted with Mike Johnson, who has said outright,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Congress is not an independent form of government. Congress is
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: there to further the president's agenda, and that's the speaker.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: It drives me.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Nuts, all right.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Russia launched launched missiles towards Kiev other Ukrainian cities as well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: and the Ukrainian Air Force said early today that this
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: was just after President Vladimir Zelenski warned Moscow was preparing
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: a massive attack. You remember when he came and visited.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: He had made mention of that as well. So at
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: least one person was killed in the attack on their capital,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: according to the city's military administration.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of pieces here Ukraine has done
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal job of attacking Russia with his drone technology.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: It is the best drone technology in the world. At
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this point, Russia is being pummeled, but at the same time,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Russia is getting help from North Korea, sending its technology
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: from Iran, and even China has come in. And it
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: looks like there's going to be at this point the
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: two sides there are going to be Russia China to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: some extent, certainly Tehran, certainly North Korea against the West.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: The United States, which heretofore has been supporting Ukraine to
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: an extraordinary degree, has actually pulled back. They are not
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: sending the arms that they were previously, So it's Europe
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: now holding the bag. Europe is now helping Ukraine. We'll
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: see how this thing pans out. I don't know a
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Russia has lost almost a million men in casualties, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it can continue on. But you've
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: got putin who doesn't have to worry about public sentiment.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That's what happens when you have a dictatorship. Okay, one
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: more before we bail and finish it up.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Who owns football? Well, that appears to be the big
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: point of contention. fIF As president Gianni Infantinel, plans to
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: create a twenty billion dollar company to run the World
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Cup with private investors. That was immediately int European Soccers UEFA,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: that's the governing body. They said, it's not Fifas to sell.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: None of us are the owners of football.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nonprofit right now, based in Switzerland. So
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: it becomes a private for profit concern under this new
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: plan and investors including the Kushner family, which of course
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: immediately begs the question, will the administration make American football
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: illegal in the United States?
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, somebody else finds that funny.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you. At least you're laughing. I appreciate that. All right, no.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Human like robics in this school, So New York they
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: put a big pause on the plan to deploy this
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: human like AI robot teacher, although some are saying it's
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: this teacher would have been like a science tutor of sorts.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Sixty thousand bucks was the purchase from real abbots, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: they already named her Sally, and they were going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: bring her to the school and she's a stationary robot,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: long dark hair, and was going to enhance the education
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: the high school students studying robotics and technology. So I
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: don't know why people are freaked out.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Well, because it's made by the same company that makes
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: sex robots. The original name instead of Sally it was
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Kayleb Cleavage. And the problem is is listen it is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: it is programmed. When little Johnny comes up, what are
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you wearing? Johnny? Oh?
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: I'm more afraid of the real female doc teachers now
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: because more and more of them are sleeping with student students.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: And that's the little scary too.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the big story is female teachers having sex
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: with student male students in their class.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I just think this is a little You know, there's
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: people that have crups different utensils from the like in
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: their kitchen. And we know where crups was back in
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: the forties in Germany. You've got volkswagons, You've got a
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: lot of places or things have backgrounds, but well.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Crups was Crups was munitions and artillery pieces. Now Portia
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: was different, and Volkswagen that was well it was Hitler's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: idea for Volkswagen. But there are some companies I G.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Farman for example, directly involved in the war effort in
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: a very vicious, horrible way IBM. As a matter of fact, IBM,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: computer computers or in those days pre computers were actually
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: used to tally up jews in little towns that dotzis
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: could then round up. I mean, it's crazy that was IBM.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying that there's stories with a lot of these,
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: and it's not like they're making sex dolls for school.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: It's a robot teaching about robots.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but so the story's not good the way
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: you describe it. Okay, moving on.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Moldy myths could get worse. First of its kind study
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: in the US has suggested that invasive mold infections may
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: be an underappreciated and potentially deadly threat. Four hundred and
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: fifty cases were recorded in Atlanta area hospitals over five years.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: About a third of those patients died in the hospital.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Mold exposures a recurring problem in the wake of hurricanes, floods,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: and other natural disasters influenced by climate change. Researcher doctor
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Jenks, who is an infectious disease researcher at Duke University, said,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I agree that the frequency of fungal infections will increase
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: with climate change.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, Neil Savader's body is a moldering in the grave.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: It's a great sung.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Lastly, employees flee fire inside TikTok headquarters right here in
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Culver City.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: A bunch of.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Employees were rushed to evacuate the seven story office building
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: there in Culver City houses TikTok's US headquarters. It started
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: on the first floor, as I just said, there were
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: seven stories there, and they evacuated everybody. Apparently this fire
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: they heard popping, originated there on the first floor. They
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: believed it was electrical issues. It was difficult to get
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: everybody out because they all wanted selfies with the fire.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the story doesn't the story doesn't even talk
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: about the people that went into the fire on a
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: TikTok challenge.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: They all had tide pods in their mouths.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: It was horrible.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: It was all right, we're done, guys, completely finished. Yesterday,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Anthony Fauci in front of a Senate subcommittee. Oh man,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: what a zoo that one is. And he took the
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: fifth one hundred and twenty one times. And I'll explain
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the fiasco of this and what he is getting just
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: nail crucified for If you will, we'll be back. KFI
