• 3:57
  Speaker 1: were right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It is a single women's sled and it is What's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: fun is brand new events come into Olympics, like double moguls,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: like heads of two film studios and they go slipping
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: down the slippery slope of the snow. So this is new,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: as is the double moguls, and they pull stuff back
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: there was there used to be. I don't know if
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: basketball is still there. I don't know if baseball is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: still there. I don't think so.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Not at the Winter Olympics, for sure, Yeah, of course, but.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about in general. That's true.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But I'm wondering if those if those stay, and I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: don't know the answer in any case.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: If you're watching the Olympics, I am. The Olympics really
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: controversial this year. Of course the ice skating, ice dancing,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: which is absolutely gorgeous.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The French team.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Won the gold, even though the American team was better,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there's no question about it, and everybody else all the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: judges gave about a five. Even with the United States
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: incrementally ahead and was about to get the gold. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: French judge gave the French team eight points.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Which put them over the top. Do you remember the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Korean judge?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Which event was where the Korean judge gave the Korean
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: team astronomical points. And so there's the controversy there and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the fact that it's a debacle in which Lindsey Vaughan,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: of course we know what happened to her and the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: rest of the teams are. There was a controversy in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: curling where you can't touch the curling stone after it
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: goes past the line. Canadians accuse the Americans of doing
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that and there was a screaming match between the two.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: That's when it's fun. That's when it's a lot of fun. Okay,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we should make.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Any sort of controversy have to be solved with pugilism.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I agree they have some little.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Problem and it's like, okay, then we're gonna go.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Fisticuffs, right, especially the Bulgarian weightlifters against the skill. Yes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: there's there's pugilism wrestling matches.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I just like the thought of controversy on the curling floor. Yes,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: you're pushing a stone. You are pushing a stone, sir,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: And do we know where the stone came from?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Any idea the stone is a specific stone made out
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: of a specific rock from Ireland or something. I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: it's Scotland. If I'm not it is, I think it
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is Scotland. It's a Scottish stone. It's a Scottish stone.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'll only be beat by a Scottish stone. Which are
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you can't chew on the stone. You can't you on
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a scone. How's that for depth of knowledge?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I like it? All right?
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Did you watch the skeleton competition you're talking about it
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: on Friday?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: It was fun. They're head.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're ninety miles an hour two inches above
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the ice. So it's not like you're going ninety miles
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: an hour on a ski slope, which is dangerous enough
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and fast enough.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're flying, but your.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Head is what five feet above the ice, which is
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: very different. I say, five hundred miles an hour. Five
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. When you're an airplane, it barely moves, you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Just crawling along.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: When you look down, this is right on top of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the ice at ninety miles an hour. That is really
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: scary stuff. Okay, let's do it. We've got some news
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I want to share with you. Oh today Michael Monks
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and Chris Merrill join us at eight thirty and they're
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: going to talk about their new show, which starts tomorrow.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Do we know if it's Monks and Merrill or Merrill
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and Monks.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Do we know?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Monks and Merrill.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It is Monks and Merrill.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Monks and Merrill starting tomorrow at noon. Monk, that's true, Meryrill.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I've always wondered how do they choose that it was
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: like John and Ken? And do they flip a coin
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: or is it more what rolls off the tongue. You've
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: been involved in this sort of stuff, Neil, Yes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: But I will tell you something.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter because you know how many calls we
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: get a people upset of Ken in the afternoon blathering
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: on about something or other, or people calling in calling
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: in show, or it does matter. When I was on
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: with Tim the Tim and Neil show, Yeah, you know what,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: we'd get emails and letters for the Tim O'Neill show.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's people that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Was Mo Mo as Morris. I want to say was,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But is Morris o Kelly a nice Irish name and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Mo looks about as Irish as well.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: He doesn't look Irish. Let me put it that way.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Well, MO will tell you he's black Irish. Yes, know
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: what they call it is black Irish dark.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: There is such a thing, Yes, there is such a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: thing as black Irish.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I just exchanged some texts with Mo the other day.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about him.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, are you guys right? Okay, guys ready to do it?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Time for handle on the news with Amy Neil and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: me late story. No clear path to ending the partial
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: government shutdown. And this is ironic because the government shutdown
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: is about the TSA, FEMA, US Coast Guard, the Secret Service,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and it's all about what ICE is doing in enforcing
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: immigration law. And ICE is funded. ICE has its money
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: and got enormous amounts of money because it was part
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: of the Big Beautiful Bill where I specifically was given
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: money under that bill as opposed to a general amount
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of money that was given to Homeland Security. So it's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Congress is on recess until February twenty third, and we're
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: into our third shutdown in the Trump administration second term.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Great fun, isn't it. We'll see what happens. People are working,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We went through this and we will again. Certain classes
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of people are not getting paid and don't show up
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to work. Certain classes have to show up to work
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and don't get paid.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And others do get paid and show up to work.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Possible breakthrough. A black glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: near Tucson, Arizona, appears to match the gloves worn by
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: the guy in the scene in doorbell camera footage. It
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: has DNA evidence on it, and the glove has been
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: sent off for final testing. It was found February twelfth,
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: about two miles away from the gu three residence in
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: a field near the side of the road. I thought
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: this was interesting. They found sixteen.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Gloves, yes, but they said they found they think the glove.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed that all talk of ransom is now
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: off the table. All we're hearing is we're trying to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: find the guy who did this, and we're now approaching
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: well into week three and this does not bode well
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: at all. This is going to turn out to be
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a heart wrencher, even though all the authorities said we
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have hope, and certainly the guth three family is saying
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: we have hope, as you would expect them as they're
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: reaching out and praying and hoping and going. Savannah Guthrie
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: doing her videos reaching out. But after that initial I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: think it was an initial email talking about the ransom,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: that's all gone away. Yeah, it's I don't think it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: going to turn out to be horrible. I turn out
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to be a good story. You know, it comes out good.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping, I am going I'm I'm wrong.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but as time goes by, it's kind of hard
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to keep up that hope.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I get it all right, l a USD board is
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: considering sending thirty two hundred notices of possible layoffs. Now
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: this is more than they think they're going to have
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: to do, but this all is a proposed action, part
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: of a plan that's close to what officials describe as
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: an ongoing structural deficit, which is kind of under understating it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: In a December budget filing, the district projected deficits of
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: eight one hundred and seventy seven million with an AM,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: which is only fourteen percent of the twenty eight twenty
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: seven that's a lot of That is a big percentage.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: That's a huge, chunky sou unk. They're wrestling with this
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: and they're looking at the possibility of layoff, so they
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: send these out to let people know prior that Hey,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: this may go down, but they they're shooting higher thirty
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: two hundred. It is higher than they think they're going
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to need to lay off.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot higher. As a matter of fact, there's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a decimal point issue. It's actually three point two, which
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is three teachers and one dwarf. Uh, it's three point
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: two people that I don't.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Know that you are you supposed to use? Hey, kno,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: is that offensive to you? When he uses dwarf? You're
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: offensive to your people?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That dwarf is Oh you can't you wait? Can you
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: not use midget? Although midgets is a technical.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Term for what is midget? What is midget from?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Where is that word? Why is that offensive?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the word fidget came from. Who
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the hell knows where the word dwarf comes from?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Snow white comes snow white? Yeah, dwarf?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: No, was that hold on him?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And that was the word dwarf was invented by Disney?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: No, not at all anyway.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I just say something which I think has some credence,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: three teachers and a dwarf, and.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Then you know, we go through a whole discussion.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It is It is fun when conal comes in and
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: he's like, Hi, Hope, Hope. It's nice. That puts everybody
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: in a good mood.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein has a lot of prominent pals. We
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: all knew this. The Department of Justice has sent Congress
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: a list of what it calls politically exposed persons that
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: are included in all of those files that have been released.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: So the list is of people regardless of context. Doesn't
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: specify the degree to which people were linked to or
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: in contact with Epstein, but there's a lot of them,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: including Princess Diana, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, of course, President Trump,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: former President Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, Prince Andrew, Elon Musk,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Woody Allen.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of these are just people that showed
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: up in articles that were part of the Epstein trial,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and just a mention of you know, Elvis Presley probably
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: didn't connect to Epstein unless they did it on the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: George Norri Show, and it could be Abraham Lincoln for
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: all we know. So not abe, yeah, abe yeah, Abe,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Also honest, Abe, all right, this is this is crazy, Bill.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: So you've got Israel beginning, you know, Obviously there's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: lot of contention here to begin with, but this is
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: a super contentious land regulation process and this is in
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: the occupied West Bay, so it could result in Israel
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: gaining control over these massive swaths of land and area
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: for future development. And some are just saying this is
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: a meg land grab. You would take it back. Yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: it's it's nuts weird. They haven't had this has been
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: frozen since the Mid East War in nineteen sixty seven.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Here is what's going on.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Israel annexing the West Back Bank straight out would cause
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: international uproar. That's Israel simply claiming the West Bank is
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: now part of Israel, which is the right wing, the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: cabinet in the right wing, the ultra right wing in
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Israel wants to do so. They're doing it not by
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: bits and pieces, this is a massive one. This is
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: registering that land as part of Israel and saying if
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: you own the land or you this is to a Palestinian,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: if you own, if you claim you own the land,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: we want proof that you own the land. Well, some
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of this land has been generations in the hands of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Palestinians and Israel this well, bottom line is it real
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is going to annex, basically going to annex and West
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Bank becomes part of Israel. There'll never be a two
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: state solution, which is a shame because that's the only answer,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Continuing on with what we already knew, France, Germany, the Netherlands,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Sweden and the UK said on Saturday that Russia poisoned
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Kremlin critic Alexei Navalni with poison, and they are saying
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: in their report that it was from a poisoned dart frog,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: which led to his death in a pedal colony two
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: years ago.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I'm doing that story at eight am because that is
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: a story that has some depth to it. But the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: bottom line is the TikTok frog licking contest. I'm going
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to tell you, don't do it, guys.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: That's the new craze. That's the new TikTok.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Well it is, by the way, it's a thing, you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: it is is.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a thing.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: We are expecting tons and tons of rain.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Amy is that?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Three storms back to back is what I've heard from
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the news.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yep. Oh, so what are we looking at a week?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Ten days of this stuff?
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: No, No, it's it's just through this week and we'll
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: be back to sunny skies by Friday. But we're expecting
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: kind of just a series of storms to hit, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: the first one a little bit later this morning. We
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: thought it was going to hit overnight, but they kind
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: of pushed that back.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Right, So, who or what region is going to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the brunt of this, Northern Ventura County, northern Los Angeles,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: La Orange County, where.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: We're all getting it. It's from northern California all the
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: way down. They're expecting like five feet of snow up
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: in Lake Tahoe, and they're expecting snow about a foot
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: of snow like in Big Bear and and more at
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: higher elevations.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's return to I handle on the news, Neil
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and Amy and.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Me, Uh, look out for the brothels.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You got this look out for them?
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Wait a segue, big.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Sign on the front of.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: These briels where brothels?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, screw for food?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: What only the only thing that came to my mind.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: I couldn't say, so I pivoted. So you got this
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: southern California brothel ring coming down, massive ring busted by authorities.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: It is from Ventura to La both counties being focused
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: on leading to and then you talk about all this
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: and they go leading to two arrests.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and one of them is the unfortunately named Kevin Dong.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Kevin I think we had been Dong, Yes, And then
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: we and I are the two and they are the
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: owners and operators of a sex services website. According to
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: this release, so more than thirty residential and hotel brothels
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: throughout California. More than sixty female sex workers were also
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: found on the website.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: There what we don't hear about these busts, although certainly legitimate,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: is this is a year long investigation, probably hundreds of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: people involved in the investigative part.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: So I mean you got to do it, no question.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Don was really really pivotal in this. Without Dong, this
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: might not have even gone down.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: That is correct.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: But he, I guess, scheduled the appointments for the brothels.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: So the law enforcement said Don was the Don was
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the peak of this, and yes, penetrating, Yeah, I get it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, you can keep on going with that, and it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: getting worse and worse.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: He said he was going to come forth.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: But god, now now we're moving into that part of investigation.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: That is what this show is all about.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: See for this stuff. I'm the one that is yeah.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he must have done a boner to get caught.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: But what are you going to do? Hello?
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, Bad Bunny Old Bueno extentally Spanish Congressman
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Randy Fine called for the FCC to look into and
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: ultimately punish Bad Bunny for a Super Bowl sixty halftime show.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: He said, had he said these lyrics and all the
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: other disgusting and explative filth in English on live TV,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: the broadcast would have been pulled down. The fines would
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: have been enormous. Puerto Ricans and Americans we all live
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: by the same rules, he wrote. So the CEC apparently
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: did look into it and found nothing wrong and said
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: he committed no violations and.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Did not use the words as Randy Fine decided that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: were used.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I guess he's the only one to heard him, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: he is said.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, the President, looking down from Mount
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Rushmore was not happy with this at all.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: His nine hundred and sixty five days straight of due
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Lingo says he was he was saying naughty words.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Casey Wasserman obviously one of the names that came out
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: during the Epstein file dump, and now this huge mogul
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: who said he was going to leave his talent agency.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: He's going to be selling it off, but he's going
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: to stay on the LA Olympic committee. So this guy
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: is on the Los Angeles twenty twenty eight Olympics.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: He's headed it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he so he's overseeing this. But he says, basically,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: he goes in a memo, I'm heartbroken that my brief
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: contact with them twenty three years ago, speaking of Maxwell
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: and Epstein, caused you this company and its clients so
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: much hardship in the past days and weeks.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: So he bailed as one of the premier talent agencies
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: in town. He goes, I got to get out of
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: here because you've got these artists that are bailing out
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: like crazy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And this is not.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Just he had that basically social intercourse or just a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: minimal contact. He was sexting with Julainne Maxwell. That is
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that's about as far as those are two consenting adults. Absolutely,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not arguing that. I'm not arguing that, of course
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: it is. But the point is, this is as close
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to wrongdoing as I think anybody has come up with,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: short of Jeffrey Epstein and Jelainne Maxwell. So this this
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: was more egregious. Also, it was twenty three years ago.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: At what point you know, I did stuff fifty years
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: ago that if it came out there be it would
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: be really questionable.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Look what you said, Look what you said when you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: were a teenager.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: What you've done things fifty minutes ago.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: That's also true.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's also true that I should be nails for Okay,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: moving on.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Made in China stickers could soon be on cars in
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: the US. Right now, Chinese cars are not sold in
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: the US, but that could change. Chinese automobiles could hit
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: US showrooms in the next five to ten years, according
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: to experts. He says a lot of Chinese automakers have
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: shown readiness to come to the US to build in
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: the US right now, they're facing one hundred percent tariffs
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: if they do.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And have been for a long time.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, this is not just Trump under Biden,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: and I think Obama also one hundred percent teriffs to
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: keep Chinese cars out because they are better and they
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: are cheaper.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Right and Trump has said recently that he's kind of like,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I'm okay with it if they build plants in.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: The US, right if they build them, they will come.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Now the question is the cost of building a plant
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: and having American workers work those plants, because American workers
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: will not work for two dollars an hour like they
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: do in China, and the building of plants does not
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: cost a third as much in China as it does here.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: So I'd like to know how is that going to work?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: You know, alther a podcast Bill, it was fascinating breaking
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: down why those cars would not be as cheap if
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: they came to America at all, even not for what
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: you think, but because their safety standards are different, their
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: drive cycle is different, they drive less mileage than we
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: do in the United States, and that there's a lot
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: of things they cut from them that if they brought
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: him here it would it would put the expense and
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: make them very comparable to Americans.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And that could be, but.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to meet American standards, there's no
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: question about that, unless the President removes all standards.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he's going to do that for
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the Chinese. He's not that pro Chinese.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: And the point is, though, and he made the President
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: may be right on this, and the authorities may be right.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Even with all that the Chinese cars, which are miles
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: ahead of what the United States and the rest of
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the world is producing. We'll still be cheaper than American
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: made electric vehicles, okay, or German made electric vehicles like
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I have one, which I'm not going to keep for sure.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: All right, three unlikely amigos you've got the White House
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: borders are Tom Homan giving praise just yesterday for Minnesota
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Governor Tim Wallas and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob fray So. He
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: says that the three have been able to talk and
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: work together. They're cracking down on illegal immigration in the state,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: but they're doing it differently, not the heavy handed way.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: They've got agreements apparently, so says Homan. In Minnesota, he
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: said they are. He never thought he'd be able to
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: get these agreements. He gives credit to the governor. He
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: said they had good conversations and this all comes down
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: to basically letting them know the criminal immigrants that are
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: getting let out of the prisons.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Right Well, that's what.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: The shutdown is all about, how I says, handling the enforcement,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: and Holman is saying, it's not the backlash, it's because
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: we are now cooperating.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: That's what's doing it. We finally have cooperation and they do.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: It in the first place and just say, hey, we
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: want to do these we want to get the bad guys.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Give us permission and we'll come in quietly.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Because because they're saying story cities, they don't do that.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and it's and it's this result and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the reason this is happening is simply a result of
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the backlash, the political backlash, and the government will never
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: admit they've done anything wrong ever.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, what side of the government are you talking about.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Why didn't they the administration, why don't they step down
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: as sanctuary cities then and just say we will give
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: these people over. We do not want you on our
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: We do not want your ice agents coming in here
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: in Billy.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: And do we know if these quote sanctuary cities, of
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: which Minneapolis is one of them, will now turn over
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: people in.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Pers think so?
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Colman said that they are, that they're cooperating with almost
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: all of the counties in Minnesota, which is one of
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: the reasons they're agreeing to the draw it out.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I would love to hear Waltz and Fray say the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: same thing, because I'm hoping that they do agree with that,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm hoping they do go after the bad, the
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: worst of the worst. As Gnome said, don't know it
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: point okay, a story about byte dance.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: No, not yet, No, Oh is.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Around ready to do a deal? And Iranian diplomat says yes.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: They say we would like to pursue a nuclear agreement
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: with US that delivers economic benefits for both sides. Common
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: interests in the oil and gas fields, joint fields, mining investments,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: and even aircraft purchases are included in the negotiations. Yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: says around.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're running scared because they know that this president
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: does not screw around. They have said, oh, if we
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: are attacked, we will retort, we will reply with the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: strongest force possible. And they pretend that there's something there.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, they do have an army. They do have
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: probably the most sophisticated army in the Middle East.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe Saudi Arabia is equivalent to that, but.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Iran is saying, oh, okay, okay, I guess this president
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: is very serious about this.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Because Trump will unleash.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: It's not simple.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: He's not a kind of guy who uh you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't say what he means or means what he says, yeah, I'm.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Okay with that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Israeli, you notice, is not pushing this, letting the United
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: States do this. Israel has said it will not let
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Iran have a nuclear device.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: It will not.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It's just that simple because Netanyahu and he's right. If
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Iran has some kind of a nuclear device, it's an
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: accidential threat to the existence of Israel. Okay, we're done.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Why don't we get out of here. This is KFI
