  Speaker 5: pre kindergarten. She pulled Cameroon. I learned a lot about Cameroon.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Tell us something about Cameroon.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: They're near water, they have grain in their flag.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: What do they eat macaroons?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Macaroons, it's probably.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: So I did that on Friday and then was in
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Vegas over the weekend.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're back, all right, fair enough? And I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was talking. I was talking to Anne. She works at
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: so far as you know, part time because she makes
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: so much money here and she'd like to eat and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what she her next go round at SOFI is for
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the World Cup at FIFA starting in June, and they're
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: tearing the place apart.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You were explaining, Yeah, they're making the field larger. Whatever
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the regulations are for FIFA World Cup, they basically have
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: changing up the stadium to accommodate that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and you're saying the big, big controversy with
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you run well they're scheduled to play.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's so fine, you know, I would that would
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: be fast.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Now, of course they won't let them through the tunnel
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: because they'll be blocked from getting onto the field the.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Straight of Trump.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: You can't get through here.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I told you outside, and I believe they're trying
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to get out of playing here.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they want to go to they want to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: go to Mexico, Mexico. But saying yeah, saying no, we've
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: already got this whole thing arranged. We can't throw this
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: up in the air and just redo everything.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So we'll see it. What Iron does.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I would imagine that the Iranian soccer players would get
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: an incredibly warm welcome.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I would go the other way.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Really, I think because they're the citizens, the ones I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: want freedom.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I would go the other way because they're representing the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: government of Iran. Now, now, the people who live here,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the Iranians who live here. First of all, they're not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: getting nearly as much grief, thank goodness. As for example, uh,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Arabs did the entire Arab community, the Iraqi community
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: during the Gulf War. We're talking about Golf War one,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and to dearborn Michigan had one hundred thousand Rockies living
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the country's biggest center for Rockies. They were getting
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: an incredible amount of grief and trying to explain, we
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: got out, we hate the place, we came to America,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this is our adopted country. And they had to literally
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: stay in their homes because.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It was so bad.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's it was an awareness thing, like
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we didn't realize that. I think we realized that with
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the Iranians that are here.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens if they show up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I and I wonder if any of them, any
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of them, are going to defect.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And no, because remember the Iranian was it what was
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it they reigning women's soccer team. Yes, that they tried
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to defect.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But couple did, A couple did, and the other ones
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they did, and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Then they changed their minds when they saw pictures of
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: their family with guns to their head.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, pictures of their families with a construction
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: crane right next to the home and there was no
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: construction going on there is.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I man, oh you've seen those pictures.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The way they hang people in Iran from construction cranes. Man,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it is horrible, all right, Oh, it's good. We started
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the morning with a really good good.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Uh, and just a good feeling about life.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Right, it's better than some other showsts.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: That's true, You're absolutely true.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So today eight o'clock, eight o'clock hour is going to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: be kind of an interesting eight o'clock hour. Rich the Morrow,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: who was with us every Tuesday, will be on you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a tech segment, and then at eight point thirty I'm
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: going to have a lawyer on and there and you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be hearing a lot about this. There is an
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: uber initiative, uh, that is happening that you're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: see an explosive amount of advertising and controversy about that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to bring the lawyer who who is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: at the one of the haunchos with the anti uber initiative.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna explain that because like any other initiative, everybody lies.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So this one is to protect the consumers, which of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: course means it goes the other way. And so whenever
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you hear, for example, a proposition to help the taxpayers,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that means taxpayers pay more money. It's always the case,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and that's the case happening here. And there's a lot
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of subterfuge happening, So I'll be talking about that later on.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to be up to buy eyebrows in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this one. My eyeballs, but eyebrows are even higher. So anyway,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: there's so much going on. In the meantime, let's do it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We've got news. We've got news. It's time for a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: handle on the news with Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Cease fire.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Straight of Horn Moves is either open or
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: it is closed. Pete Hegseth has said the fire is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: still in effect. It's not over yet, even though there's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: been a taxed attacks on shipping that the United States
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: controls the Straight or Horrmuz completely. Okay, while it's still
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: closed by the Iranians. The war is over. That's what
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the President said a few days ago. The war actually
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was one day one. That's what the President said. The
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: nuclear facilities of Iran were obliterated. Although that's one of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the big big topics of the obliterated nuclear facilities that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the United States wants to I guess stop. Something has
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: been obliterated, so I don't get that. In the meantime,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the strait is closed. A double hit. It's a double whammy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The Strait of Hormuves is closed by the Iranians, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the United States is not letting any ship out of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: any port of Iran producing oil or any ship coming
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in to pick up oil.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So it's it's pretty tight. No I can.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of just a lot of descriptions of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it's pretty tight that I could go into right now. Okay,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: alrighty see, there's Kno wagging his finger at me. Okay,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: let's let's move on.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: The California governor's race gets a national audience tonight. The
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: top seven contenders for governor of California. We'll face off
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: on CNN. The debates for two hours. Starts at six o'clock.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And this all comes as the first mail in ballots
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: are being delivered to voters for the June second primary.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Former Health and Human Services Secretary jave R. Bessera now
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: leading in the polls. He's tied for the lead with
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, the Republican.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: If it turns out to be those two, if it's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Hilton and but Sarah, it's not even gonna be close
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in the general.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: No, because there's like, what is the splits.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Two to one, it's two to one in California. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's just crazy. You know, California has a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: super majority both in the Senate and in the Assembly,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: plus a California governor who happens to be a Democrat.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So so we'll see what happens, and you're gonna watch it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Could you watch the last one?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely interesting. I'm a junkie for these kinds of things.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I love watching.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I'm enjoying.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Who I am enjoying is Tom Steyer because he's trying
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to buy his way into this thing, and he has
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: spent hundreds of millions.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Of dollars he already has.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he will spend more. Yeah, well it depends on
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: whether he gets blown out or not.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Can he write that off?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: No, no, absolutely not. It's just he is funding his
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: own campaign.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: That's it. You're allowed to do that. But it is
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: not a write off.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right. Spring Court on Monday granted unusual request,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: to say the least, made by Louisiana Republicans, allowing last
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: week's majority voting rights ruling to go into effect immediately. Typically,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: you have to wait the usual thirty two days before
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: the Supreme Court ruling is certified and then sent back
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to the lower court. So now you have kind of
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: a intense, some say angry written exchange between liberal Justice
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Jackson and conservative Justice Alito.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the polarization has even reached the Supreme Court, where
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: usually I mean, they may have opposing views, but at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: least it was a collegial body. For example, Scalia was
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: one of the most conservative members of the court, and RBG,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of course Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of the most liberal.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They were best of friends. They used to vacation together,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: even though there were apposite ends of the political spectrum. Boy,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: those days have those days have changed. And this one's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: important because this has to do with redistricting. As you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the last decision gutted the Civil Rights Civil Rights Act
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty five, which we'll be talking about quite
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a bit. But the redistricting was allowed, and there's a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: lot to it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: It's pretty wonky.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We'll go through it, believe me, we'll be talking about
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that in the future.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Secret Service has shot someone. It happened near the White House,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: just south of the White House, near the Washington Monument.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: The Secret Service shot and wounded a guy with a gun.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Chris MacDonald, who is a Congressional Affairs official with the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Secret Services, that President Trump wasn't in any danger. There's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: currently no known nexus between what happened and the White House.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: A motorcade with Vice President JD. Vance had just passed
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: through the area. Apparently that was coincidental. Young bystander in
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the area that was packed with pedestrians was also grazed
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: by a bullet and being treated.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: So why would you take a gun near the White
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: House and then when confronted with the Secret Service start
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: running away and then start shooting a Secret Service.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Wa don't know nothing else to do? Yeah, you may
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: be dead, all right?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: So you heard Amy King talking about this during wake
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: up call as well as the news. California regulators may
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: seek to suspend State Farm's license for up to a
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: year and also in addition to that, levy millions in
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: penalties against the insurer. So this all is about alleging
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: its mishandled January twenty twenty five wildfire claims in La County. Here,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: it says that their investigation found that State Farm delayed, underpaid,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: and buried policy holders in red tape at the worst
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: moment of their life. Says Commissioner Ricardo Lara.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I believe every word that, even though State
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Farm is denying that. I'm going to do that at
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock top of the hour. Dive into that story
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit deeper.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Missing soldiers in Morocco. We told you about this first yesterday.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: There are two soldiers who went missing. Apparently it happened
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: they're doing some training, an annual training exercise known as
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: African Lion. But this didn't have to do with the training.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: They were apparently off duty. A group of service members
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: were out hiking to watch the sunset. One of them
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: fell into the water. So when the first soldier fell,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the group tried to make human chain with their belts
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to get to them. That didn't work, so another soldier
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: jumped in to save the service member and got hit
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: immediately by a wave, and then another person jumped in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to help them. That person wasn't able to save the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: first two, but was able to make it back to shore.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: So it turned out just to be a horrific accident.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: There's no act, there's no foul play or anything.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It just does not appear, so no.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorses Los Angeles Mayor Karen
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Bass for reelection. She just came out yesterday. She said
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: She has done what so many said she couldn't be done.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this helps her or doesn't.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I have an idea.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it tells us a little bit
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that when Kamala Harris was about to endorse Karen Bass,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Bass said please, don't please, I don't want you to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: do that, and she did it anyway and said, damn it,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do it anyway.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So you're right. I don't know if it's going to help.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And what is really bizarre, but Kamala Harris is opening
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: herself up for another run for a president. Oh well,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that'd be terrific, right if that happens, If the Democrats
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: put on the ballot, if the nominee is Kamala Harris
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: again for president, the Republicans could run Charles Manson and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: he'd win.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I hope even after he's dead.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Now, I hope she comes out with her what was it, Joy?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: She's going to bring joy? Yeah, I don't know who
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Joy is to meet?
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: It was to one more before we take a break.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: It's a great medical story.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: The baby's so nice. He was born twice. Okay, I
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: love this story. Happened in Orlando, Florida, and mom and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: dad they're pregnant, right, and then at nineteen weeks, the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Jubert family finds out that their second child has this
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: rare condition called congenital high airway obstruction syndrome. It's known
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: as chaos, very rare. It's characterized by a blockage of
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the airway that causes fluid to get trapped in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: unborn baby's lungs. And they're like, you know what, this
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: child is going to probably die if we don't do something.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: So they tried up procedure. It didn't work. So then
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: at twenty five weeks, six weeks after they found out,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: they said, we're trying this one. They partially delivered Cassian
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: via caesarean section, and his little head and arms were
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: outside the womb, but he was still connected to the placenta.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So they did the operation and then they tucked him
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: back into the uterus, closed it up, and mom stayed
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: into the hospital until she gave birth to him again
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: six weeks later.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty impressive. I don't think it's ever been
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: done before. This was the first successful one, wasn't it,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: because that's pretty rare. But the disease is very rare,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the syndrome, so medical science.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first surgery like this that has been successful for
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: a baby like Cassie, and now he's eight years or
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: eight months old.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Which is terrific. All right, all right, no food for you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: If you're taking a short Delta Airlines flight this summer,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and that means anything three hundred and forty nine miles
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: or less, you won't have beverages, you won't have in
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: flight food, none of that. They're removing the offering from
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: around four hundred and fifty daily flights, or about nine
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: percent of their flights.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Not even a soda.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: No, it doesn't look like you get any beverages. But
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: you know what's funny is Bill always points out that
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: every time any change is made, it's always for the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: safety of someone. Well, any time changes are made in
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: any sort of capitalist venture, it's always to streamline things,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: not just squeeze save money.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: No, and they say it's to create a more consistent
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: experience across our network. They're just on the verge of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not even allow you to go to the restroom. So
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they're saying pee before, pee before you come aboard the plane.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: As long as it's consistent. But Delta First customers apparently
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: will continue to receive full service on all flights.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's first class, you would think.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: So they want to streamline it and make sure they
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: do cost.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: If you ever take a European carrier within Europe and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you're on a forty minute flight, you get a full meal.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, that's what they do, full meal.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Good for you, thanks Obama.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Disneyland news, cash is no longer king Disneyland. Disneyland and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Disney California Adventure are making a select outdoor vending carts,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: you know, churos and that kind of thing cashless. Up
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: until now you've been able to use cash, but now
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: there's haying Nope, credit cards, mobile phones and and Disney
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: gift cards are going to be the only way they
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: accept payment, electronic payment. There will be a cashless location
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: sign on those on those vending cards. And they've already
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: done this at Disney World and Sea World six Flags
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: and I just was at knots Berry Farm and they
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: don't take cash. So they're just kind of a.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Less now do they.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: There's Disney still take Mickey dollars with a portrait of
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump on them.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think Disney's given up. It's it's Mickey dollars
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: for Trump. There's a battle there. I don't know if
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they have those Disney dollars anymore. They have Disney gift cards.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have the gift cards and these Kiosks or whatever.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: The different vendors will tell you that you can buy
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: those gift cards if you want to use those. But Bill,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: how is that legal when money says legal tender in
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the United States?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Because that just is because it is.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It is legal because the courts have said that's the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: way it goes. For example, separation of church state, right,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: adamant about separation of church and state. The courts, well,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to make an exception when it comes to money.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: In God we trust, Okay, that is we're going to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: accept that out. How about separation of church and or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: how about the anti trust Sherman anti trust moves. Baseball
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and football are monopolies. Any other business that would be illegal.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So you know what the court said, You're right, except
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for baseball and football. We're going to make exceptions there.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So in God we trust, and I think the argument.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Is more historical than it is religious.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Although the history part, if you look at in God
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: we trust, I think I started in the fifties.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: If you look at.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Currency prior to that, one hundred years ago, nah, there
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: was no in God we trust. So I mean that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the history of that is utterly fascinating.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Well, apparently, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a two day
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: ceasefire in the war with Ukraine to observe the anniversary
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War Two.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: What the hell? So the ceasefire would run Friday and Saturday,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: according to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: let me get this straight. Because of the defeat of
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: a horrible megalomaniac dictator, another horrible megalomaniac dictator is going
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: to cease fire.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Well, at the end of World War Two is a
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: very very big deal in Russia, because the Nazis came
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: literally just a couple of miles from Moscow, and there
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is a memorial there.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: This is as far as.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: The Nazis again in a spitting distance to Moscow, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the Russians life about twenty million people men, they say,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: most of them killed by Stalin, by the way, So
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they take it to.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: A level that we don't even begin.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: To understand the end of World War two, and that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: why they did it, to the point where Putin and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you're right, the guy is a megalomaniac. I mean, he's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: not killing millions and millions of people, but he's still
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a megalomaniac.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And you make a o he would if he could.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if you would take it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Takes a very special person to wipe out millions of people,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if Putin would go that far.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Amy.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought maybe you had more to say
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: No, don't have anything more to say.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, what do you have to say about this? Apologizing
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to an attempted assassin?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: A federal judge has apologized to the guy who's accused
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: of trying to assassinate President Trump at the White House
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Correspondence Association dinner because of his detention conditions. He says,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I am troubled what they indicate, the conditions that you
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: have been subjected to. I'm sorry it sounds like things
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: have not been the way they are supposed to.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's a strange one. So he is on
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: suicide watch.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: He's not now, he's not now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Right, And because he had said he expected to die
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: during the attempt, the assassination attempt. So there's a right
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: there that tells you something. And so now how far
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: did they go? Did they have to put him in
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a straight jacket? They have to go that far? A
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: padded cell?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever? Haven't been a okay?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And so our padded cells are more comfortable because you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: can bounce off them there.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I find them more fun than just straight out comic.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they never turn the lights off.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem is that. Yeah, but yes, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: if you're afraid of the dark, then it's idea.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, but this nuts. I get it. People don't like Trump.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I don't like Trump, but he's the president of the
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: United States and you have a judge, Al Jesus, where
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: have we gone?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Well, the argument is, the argument is he's going to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: get a fair trial. He's not denied do process. It's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: how he was treated when incarcerated. It's how he was
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: treated when he was doing people have to be treated well,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can't arbitrarily but this isn't arbitrary either.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: This is him saying I want to kill myself for
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I want to die.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Two hundred and fifty years to build a great country
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: and a couple of years to actually try and tear
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: it down. Jesus all right, A man, sixty four year
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: old California man has been convicted by a Kentucky jury.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: This is a crazy story, by the way, soorrid murder
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: for a higher plot that involved a California high I
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: think a former California Highway Patrol captain. She captain Julie Harding,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: filed for divorce from her husband, Michael Harding, who was
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: fifty three, in twenty twenty two, and it got a
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: little ugly. So this is not long after the couple
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: purchased property in Tennessee and they went back and forth,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: it got ugly. It turns out Julie Harding, who remained
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: in Sacramento, drained three of the couple's bank accounts about
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty thousand dollars without Michael Harding's consent,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: and then conspired with Thomas O'Donnell, a NAPA resident, to
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: murder her husband. So this is all unfolding and how
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: crazy a story is that former law enforcement I wondered
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: and he was just apologized to her. If the yeah,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: no doubt, and the.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Shooting did take place, No, Harding was shot multiple times
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and was killed.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: It is a bizarre story.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: All right, we're done, guys on a Tuesday morning, coming
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: up State Farm, its licenses at risk, and we've done
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: this story before, but this is just the next step
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: in nailing State Farm in the mishandling the alleged mishandling
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of the wildfire claims.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: And we'll be back with that. This is KFI AM sixty.
