  Speaker 3: four people attending and we're really very proud of that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: We've never come close to that. Although we've never done
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: this either. It's a really different kind of event because
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: usually it's every year and does rate. By the way,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Dodger Game with Gary and Shannon this year, Dean and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Tina Dodger Game with them, John Cobalt an hours worth
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: of well joining him for an hour on his show,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: so you get to be a broadcaster. And then Wendy
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: giving some psychological or you know, you can't use the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: word psychology because she's not a licensed psychologist, but therapy
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: fair enough.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So ours was over the top because we've never done
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it before. Never.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: But the Dodgers, I think they they have access to
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the iHeart.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, it's no it's terrific. It's not
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just your Dodgers game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I get that. There's a lot of good stuff that comes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Everyone takes a bite of the Dodger dog and passages.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's not quite that. So no, it's it's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a it's a.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Pretty neat event and every year it does well as
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: it should. But you know, we went way over the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: top on this one. I mean, my goodness, and now
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I have to pretend I like people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: God, I'll run interference, buddy.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And there isn't a Dodger game that people can stare at,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: at least to avert their attention.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's all on us.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Well, the food, the food works that will avert the
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: attention anyway. Of course, we have a fair amount to
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: talk about. We try to stay away from Trump news.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Today we're going to try to stay away on our
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: segment away from Trump. And I was just telling Lindsey,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: it's hard not to do Trump. It is very difficult
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: not to do Trump segments based on what goes on
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: every single day.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: It's the president.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Well no, no, he's not just the president, but he's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, the president.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: We've got local garbage too, We've got idiots and local offices.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: But I will tell you they're not changing our local
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: our local officials are not changing our cities and counties
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the way that President Trump is changing America. That is huge, huge,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: way beyond just what's going on right now.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Sidestep the supremacy laws.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's one of them. Yeah, that's one of them.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Pardon issues have gone a little bit crazy. There's a
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: lot just announced that the requirements for gas mileage by
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: twenty forty five, that's just been decimated. So it just
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: goes on and on and on. Okay, guys, you're ready
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Lead story. What do you think it's going to be?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Handle on the news, Amy Neil and me. Lead story. Yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a Trump story. And this has to do with immigration.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Now going to New Orleans to arrest immigrants who are
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: illegally in the US. And that's the latest city to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: be targeted by the President. Have you noticed that every
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: single city targeted has a Democrat mayor. There is no
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: such thing as a city in the United States that
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: has a Republican mayor that has a problem.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: With illegal aliens.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And President has said that it's the Democrat cities that
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: we're going to go after.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: See, I told you so, I told you so.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So New Orleans with sanctuary laws and stuff.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, New Orleans I don't think is a sanctuary
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: so but laly the ones that come up with yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: well that's a given, those are going to be going
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: at that. That's but New Orleans because there's a there is. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: well why are there sanctuary laws? Because again, the politics
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: are just totally polarized, and you've got politicians who are
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: so upset with what's going on and dealing with the
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: federal authorities that you know, they the laws are passed
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: saying you can't agree with federal authorities. By the way,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that that has gone on many many years before.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: What's happening? Now? Okay, enough of Trump now, oh no,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: oh no, there's more.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: California has a new snitch line, So officials have launched
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: an online portal for people to report misconduct by federal
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: agents and officers of the state.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: This announced by the Governor's office.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: The California Department of Justice will use the information submitted
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: to create a record of potential illegal conduct by federal
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: agents that could be used in possible legal actions.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: All right, I mean is that legal?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I can do that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: What are they doing illegally?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Well, the argument is that they are stopping people illegally,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: not giving them Miranda warnings, wrapping them up, going after
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: US citizens and not asking and detaining US citizens.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: There are a couple of allegations, just a couple out there.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: So one eight hundred I'm a rat? Is that? Yeah?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Or one eight hundred my wife is about to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: be picked up? Thank you?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, Oh we do angelo, Yeah, going live,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Let's do it live.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: They're gonna the deputies, which are the only humans that
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: go to jail on their own decision. They go, hey,
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: let's let's let me work in a jail, are now
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: going to be equipped with body worn cameras. So, uh, this,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: you know, they keep saying, is protection of everything. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: think ultimately we're all going to be wearing cameras at
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: some point, teachers, kids, everything.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: But uh, it makes a noise when you turn it on,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: makes a noise, so.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Everybody can hear that the inmate is now going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: be filmed. Even partners of deputies and stuff like that
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: that are nearby know that it's actively recording. And every
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: two minutes or so, the body camp will beep again
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: to remind the deputy anybody around the camera is still recording.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: So this is after California Attorney General Rob Bonta is
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: assuming Los Angeles County Sheriff's department over alleged unc constitutional
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: in humane conditions in the county jail as opposed to
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: all the inhumane conditions outside of the jail in Los Angeles.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Apparently, I just pet my dog just came in. That
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: is not a euphemism. That is not And if it
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: were a euphemism, it would be a Dodger dog.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And you know why it would be a Dodger dog.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: If that was a euphemism.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Why do you think because you're a liar?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: No?
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: No, are you saying that Dodgers are liars?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Not.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I'm saying the Dodger dog.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about the length of a Dodger dog relative
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to regular hot dogs.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Don't Dodger dogs go? I gain it's been a million years.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: Since they do extend past the bun perfectly.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: So that's exactly where I was going. They extend past
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the bun. Okay, why don't we leave it at that?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Moving on more handle on the news, Amy Neil and me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: So a paper wants back in the Pentagon. The New
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: York Times is accused the Pentagon in a lawsuit of
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: infringing on the constitutional rights of journalists by imposing a
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: set of new restrictions on reporting about the military. The
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Time says the Defense Department's new policy violates the First
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Amendment and seeks to restrict journalists's ability to do what
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: journalists have always done, and that is asked questions of
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: government employees, gather the information and report on the stories,
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: to take the public beyond official pronouncements.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that is a constitutional right to
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: be in the press room of the White House. And
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: does the White House and the Pentagon have the right
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to say, if you want access to us, or you
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: want to ask us questions, if you want tips from us,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: these are the requirements that you make it. I don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: know if that's a constitutional issue or not.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: What about a crime scene, they're they're limited in their
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: access to a crime scene as well?
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, absolutely, now, but but we're talking on access. Uh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you know, I think you can limit access to reporters,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: it's the question. You can't stop them from reporting, And
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: so there, I don't know which way the court's going
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: to go because the court gives a lot of leeway
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: to the press legally, but at this one, I think
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: we're going to have much Yeah, and I think they're
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: going to have I think it's not a constitution, right,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: that's my.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Call on it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: All Right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: So Matthew Perry and his unfortunate death is back in
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: the news because the former physician who supplied the ketamine
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: to Matthew Perry, of course the Friends actor in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: weeks leading up to the actor's death, was now sentenced
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: just yesterday to serve about two and a half years
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: or so in federal prison.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: So Salvador plus Sensia.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Who lives in Placentia?
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: No, who when, like, uh, Calabasas or something, Placentia, You don't,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Know saying isn't wasn't the doctor from that area?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, doctor was absolutely Calabasas. And we know
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: some people who he was their doctor.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and for ketamine.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And not no, not for kenemine, Nope, nope, nope.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Just so sad because the family comes out, the mother
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and stepmother comes out. You know, we're still dealing with
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: this differently than fans are there it's horrible losing a child.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't care who it is, you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: for a parent to have to bury a child is
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: uh is one of the worst nightmares out there.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: Uh, here's a really cheesy story. More than one point
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: five million bags of different shredded cheeses that are sold
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: all over the place, including in California, have been recalled
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: voluntarily because of possible metal contamination. There's a possibility that
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: there are metal fragments in the profits products. Rather, the
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: cheese is by the Great Lakes Cheese Company based in Ohio.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: There's two hundred and thirty five thousand cases of low
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: moisture parts skim Mozzarellas shredded cheese being recalled.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't even have to name the brand. Yeah,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: it's every brand on the planet.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: They sure seems like it. Huh.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: And then there's nineteen hundred cases of Happy Farms by
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Aldi in Italian style shredded cheese. There's Italian style shredded
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: cheese blends more than fifteen thousand cases, and then a
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: very small amount one hundred and seventeen cases of Food
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: Club finally shredded pizza style for cheese blend.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Get the block cheese and great at yourself.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: Great at yourself?
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: All right, Trump rolls back biden euer fuel economy stand
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: and this is kind of we heard this during the
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: news this morning with Amy King. Is basically he's saying
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Trump is trying to make the case that it's artificially
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: inflating the cost of vehicles, because pushing somebody towards an
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: expensive ev is not always doable.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: It's not artificially you know, making the cost higher.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: It does make the cost higher because you know, engines
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: have to be developed that are much more cost efficient,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: and it all adds costs to the vehicle. And we
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: go back several decades the car manufacturers were claiming, you know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: what they were claiming is that seat belts made the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: car more expensive. Let's not mandate seat belts. Well, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: will tell you crush zones.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: It may be upfront cost, but ultimately on an electric vehicle,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: isn't it like tires and brakes, Yeah, it is.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: But this is about it all.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is all gas cars.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And it's a little complicated because included in a car
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: company's gas mileage requirement are electric vehicles. And this is
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: average that we're talking about that the government wants, so
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: it brings down the average, allowing the much more profitable
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: gas powered twelve mile per gallon super trucks to be sold.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know anybody who has one of those, Lindsay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: but it's pretty expensive on the on the gasoline side.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Here, I've never seen a bigger person surrounded by a tiny.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Person surrounded by a bigger car than your wife.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's pretty small, and she like, yeah, she would
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: drive an eighteen wheeler.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I think if you could fit in the garage.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Our Speaker Johnson's day's numbered well, apparently some people are
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: starting to break with Speaker Johnson. Representative A Last Stephonic
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: called him an habitual liar. Representative Nancy masa South Carolina,
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: so she's so frustrated with him that she might even
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: have a little huddle with Marjorie Taylor Green from Georgia
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: about retiring early.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Anna Paulina Anna Paulina Luna.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: From Florida has gone around Johnson to try to force
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: a vote that he didn't want to bring to the floor,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: and members from all corners of his conference have been
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: openly complaining about his leadership, and some are predicting he
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: may not last as the Speaker for the rest of
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: his term.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he was a compromised speaker anyway. He was the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: least offensive person to become the speaker and is considered
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the least effective speaker in the last century. Why because,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Number one, he has not an effective leader to begin with.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: That's just not who he is. Certain people have leadership styles,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: certain people don't.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: He doesn't. And I think there are some Republicans.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: It will certainly Democrats, but are Coplicans are saying, Hey,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you know what, you aren't the speaker, you're a ChIL
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: for President Trump. President Trump tells you what to do.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: You wake up at the morning every morning, you call
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the President what should I do today? Mister President? He
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: tells you, and that's what you do. And by the way,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: that's not far from the truth either. As I've told
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you over and over again, Mike Johnson has said publicly,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: my job as Speaker and this Congress is to push
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Trump's agenda. That's what we're supposed to do. Wait a minute,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that's what the legislative branch is supposed to do. Isn't
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: the third arm of government? Nope, there are only two
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: arms of government, the presidency of which he has an
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: army of four hundred and thirty five soldiers in the
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: House and the judiciary, and that's it. Yeah, it's I
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: get very angry at this. You know, I may disagree
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: with a lot of what Congress does and I do.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: And when there's a conservative Congress, you know, I real conservative.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not happy. When it's real liberal, I'm not happy.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: But it's Congress. It's what they do. It's not what
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the president wakes up in the morning and tells them
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: what to do. Now do they pay attention to where
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the president is going? Of course you do. Party is
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: party is party. But I hope he's out on his ass.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I really do. He is an embarrassment as in his
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: position as speaker. All right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, Uh, I hate her name because
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Lanelayne Glaine.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Jeez, gizz Lane.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: That was Wayne.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a weird spelling. It's Jilane, right, right, Amy
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: huh guh yeah, like Glinda.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: That's right, who then became Glinda mm hmmm, so it'll
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: be Glaine. So.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: She was convicted of recruiting young girls, as we all know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: into this horrible sex trafficking. She's planning to ask the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: judge to release her from prison. And this is to
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: according to some new court filings, you know, this is
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: basically her desire to get out of prison, saying that
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: she was because the heat of the story and the
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: heat of national interest in all of that, that she's
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: been kind of wrongly put in a situation of being
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the skate.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Well that's yeah, that's not quite what's going on, Neil.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: It has to do with she's appealing her decision and
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: if she wins, the adverse publicity of these Epstein files
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: will affect the jury and will she'll get an unfair trial.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: It's a stretch on her behalf. I mean, it really
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: is a stretch. This one is pretty bizarre. There's plenty
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: of cases where you can't release x number of information
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: or there's so much information. Oj had the same argument
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that it's every jury out there is prejudice, and that's
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: sometimes why they move venues.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: If it happens locally.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Let's say a crime happens in LA, then the defense
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: will say we got a defense will say we can't
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: be in LA. It's too local a story and people
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: are too affected by it and they're going to be prejudiced.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: So This is a big picture. I'm on appeal.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: In case I win the appeal and we go to
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: a new trial, then the Epstein trials being released are
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: going to affect the jury pool.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It's just it's really kind of a stretch.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: And on the other hand, she's also asking for a
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: pardon from the President, and I don't think it's going
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: to go further than that. He already she said, nope,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: President wasn't there in the Epstein file. And this is
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: two days after the Deputy Attorney General went to visit her,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: which has never happened before, spend two days with her,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: and then she transferred into a club fed the most
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: minimum and minimum security prisons out there. And so now
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: there's no more upside to to giving her a pardon.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: But can you imagine if Trump gave her a pardon?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine a Jack Olash? No, of course not,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: of course not he the federal authorities, the Department of
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the Bureau of Corrections.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: This is as far as they're going to go. Does
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: he still have Biden's auto pen? Maybe he could have Biden?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, that says she got I believe she
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: got what she wanted. I believe the administration got what
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: it's wanted, and here's as far as we will go.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: We'll allow you to be in this.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Prison, which incidantly, people convicted of child molestation, being part
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: of raping children miners do not get into these prisons,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: and she is one in one. So yeah, there there
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: will be no pardon. I mean obviously not amy.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: But that's just the talk of it is.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if it's one of those conversations.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Let's do one more talk about a surprise and very
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: welcome Christmas present. In the coming days, people are going
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: to be getting letters from the county and undo medical debt,
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: which will let them know that their medical debt has
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: been erased. Who are these letters going to. They're going
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: to more than one hundred and seventy one thousand residents
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: of La County. The Department of Public Health has announced
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: more than three hundred and sixty three million dollars in
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: medical debt has been permanently erased for those low income
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: people as part of a relief pilot program.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: YEP, I think, are we on our way to national health?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Are we on our way to make it a single payer?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Read the government pays all medical bills.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Wait are they paying this or are they.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: The county is negotiating it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I believe they're giving these insurance companies or they're giving
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the medical providers. Let's say, we'll give you thirty cents
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: on the dollar. We'll give you ten cents on the dollar,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: because the argument that they're going to have, we're better
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: off taking ten cents than nothing. Because the number one
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: bankrupt see issue in the United States by far, the
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: number one reason people go bankrupt is medical bills. And
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: once you're done, once your bankrupt yeah, once you're done
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: with meta, once you're done to your bankruptcy, chow baby,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you're done. So the providers are going to get some money.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: And at seven o'clock we're gonna do a story about this.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And this has to do with the murder of the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: healthcare United Healthcare CEO. And I'm going to talk a
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: little bit and give you a personal story too as
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: to what happened. So it's a little bit complex, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I want to jump into it because I think I
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: think it's important and I don't care if you think
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: it's important or not.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, this one's a little confusing, but basically, you have
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: a consumer group and a pushing for this initiative that
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: would require California insurancers to offer policy to homeowners who
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: fireproof their houses.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: So you know, they do.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Whatever the defensive space, they put spark arrests or whatever
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: in their attic, whatever it is. But it seems that
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: there is another group that we're coming with a similar idea,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: and so one is kind of standing down at this point.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Well they have to, because when you have competing measures,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: let's say you have a measure a measure B that's
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: going against or trying to establish something.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Well, they cannibalize each other.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: They put the vote, which means it's firstly an automatic
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: note because you need fifty percent plus one in order
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: to pass the proposition in California. So they both decided, Okay,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: we're out of it and we can continue on as before.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: It has to do with forcing insurers to offer insurance
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: to people who fireproof their homes. Right now, insures can
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: say no to anybody. They can just say we're going
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: and then bail out of the state.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: And here it cannot be part of a system because the.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: State has the right to say you do ABC or
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: and D or you're out. That's all required. It's a
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: business measure. It's a requirement to do business.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: For example, I'm just saying, how can insurance company if
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: you have an insurance system, by definition it's to protect.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's to make money.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I get all that, But the vast majority of the
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: people are not going to have their house burned down.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: However, the ones that do have their houses burned down,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: there are enough of them that insurance companies go broke.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: And that's the problem insurance companies, these ones that bailed
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: out are not making enough money or losing money.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Amy, you're going to say something, I.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: Have a question for you.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Is it because everybody's suing. They're not just like doing
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: replacement costs, But everybody sues so much, and then the
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: insurance companies pay for it. So I'm wondering if everybody
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: wasn't so soue happy, if the insurance companies wouldn't be
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: going bankrupt.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this, Amy.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Let's say you have a house in the Pacific Palisades
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: and it didn't burn down, but the smoke destroyed the
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: house to where you have to bring it down to
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: studs because the toxic smoke literally permeates even the dry
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: wall where it is there forever, and the insurance company says,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: we're not covering that. We only cover if actual fire
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: damage is seen. Do you file a lawsuit? Well, of
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: course you do.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: And the point is my point though, is that insurance
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: companies used to cover stuff.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: Now they try to deny stuff.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: My dad was an insurance man for years and it
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: was a very reputable business.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it no longer is because the philosophy of
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: insurance companies and basically because it costs so much money.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I think you know what the insurance companies in a
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Pacific palisades. I mean, can you imagine the cost of
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: rebuilding the ones that have burned down? Although you know
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: there are enough reserves in the private insurance companies to
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: meet the requirement.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: It's the CalFire plan. It's a fair plan that's going
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: to go broke.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: But the point is, if insurance companies are losing money
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: in a state, they can bail.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: They can say we're I.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Mean, what a company that's making money is going to
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: leave the state.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: So the government plan is going to fail. That's correct,
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Let's have them run more things.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the government plan fails, and that's guaranteed by the
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: people of the state of California.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, your.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Brain may need the booze.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: A new study suggests that the brain physically adapts to
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: rely on alcohol to relieve stress and anxiety, and it
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: creates this kind of feedback loop that makes quitting drinking
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: more difficult.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: From researchers, it's scripts.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: They say that sometimes people start associating alcohol with relief
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: from like stress and other stuff, and so when they don't.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: Get it, then they have these withdrawal symptoms.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: They say this what is what makes addictions so hard
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: to break is that people aren't just chasing a high.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: They're also trying to get rid of powerful negative states
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: like the stress and anxiety.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the alcohol business course is fighting back like crazy
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: and arguing that all the authors in the new study
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: were completely dead falling down drunk when they did this study.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say they needed to drink.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, why don't we go get a drink and talk
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: about this all right, let's do one more real quickly.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Panda Express, the parent company actually Panda Express, has now
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: been ordered to pay one million dollars to because they
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: violated California laws, which laws California's Hazardous Materials plan laws.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Why Well, because the soda fountains they use have they
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: give out CO.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Two carbon dioxide. That's how they make the bubbles.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: But they've never taught any of their staff, apparently to.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I guess not, I yuess not. So there's a million
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: bucks there you go. All right, we're done now.
