• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good Friday morning to you. Did you hear that bumping
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: music on Wake Up Call?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: They're all dancing in the halls because it's Friday. Or
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: as we like to say, Fri-yay. I don't know why I'm. Well,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I just turned into Adventure Time right there. You ever
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: watch Adventure Time?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Not Adventure Time.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Making bacon pancakes.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Making bacon pancakes.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Actually, I met the regular show. Oh, regular show. Come
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: on now.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I like that one even better.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: No idea what you're talking about. It's an incredibly wonderful cartoon.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And something I share with my son all the time.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I think it's on Disney Plus and HBO Max.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Give it a watch, Will.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: All right, guys. Let's get over here.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, Skips.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love everything about it. Yeah, Skips is Mark Hamill. Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that for a long time. He
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: does a lot of voice work.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: He does the Joker. Prolific voice actor.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But hilarious. It's just about a bird and a raccoon
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: living together in a room at a park, not wanting
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to work.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: And they're bad employees.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: They're horrible.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But man, there's some mystic crap that goes on in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that little land.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Good show.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: All right. Good show. Jolly good show.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Jolly good show. All right. Nobody knows what we're talking about,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but that's okay. That's okay.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Amy King.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just wondering, you know, Anna and I were
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: just talking. It's been hot and why you've never invited
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: us to your pool. I know, right?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: When did that happen? When did you get a pool?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Well, Amazon says I likely have a pool.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we're prepping the show and all of that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So where do you look to see what Amazon knows
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: about you?
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: OK, it's very freaky. So you go to Amazon.com and
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: then you click on your profile.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: And it says about you. And so you click on
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: that and it. Knows stuff about you. You know what?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We'll do that later on in the show. We'll learn
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit about each other and I'll take a
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: shot at it. So I'm not going to do it
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: right now. I know you've already done that. But later
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in the program, maybe in the 8 o'clock hour, we'll
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: all check our profile. Mine's going to say, due to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: our research, you're broke.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised mine doesn't say that, too.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You have no.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: She's still buying stuff on Amazon and going into debt.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. If she's going to have to return half
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of this enabled, there's just so much that comes our way.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So the interesting thing is that that we were
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: finding out, though, is it's not just watching what you
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: buy on Amazon. It's also kind of branching out and
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: checking you out in other places, too.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, having one child, our nine-year-old, I thought, you know what?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I came from a family of seven. There's still seven
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of us. And I thought my younger brother and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have been known to butt heads, fists, knees, whatever. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: so I thought he's not going to fight with anyone.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: He fights with Alexa all the time. They're constantly screaming
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: at each other and he's like, and then he gets
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: her to do, what did he have? He'd go, guess what?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And she'd go chicken butt. And then he taught her
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to do that. And then he makes her do it
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: as fast as she can. So she's going chicken butt.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And I come in there and I'm like, you're going
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to break her. Why are you trying to break her?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And he sees how many times she can.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Anyways.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: All right. Good morning, Amy. Nice to see you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Nice to see you, as always. Did you also hear
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: about the Bigfoot Festival this weekend?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: No. Where is it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I believe it's in Lake Arrowhead.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Okay. So not that far. It's up in the mountains.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: What are they doing? I want to go.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: It's going to be raining.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It's going to be raining. Oh, is it Saturday or Sunday?
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: I believe it. I don't know if it's Saturday and
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Sunday or Saturday or Sunday, but there's adult beverages, probably
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: costume contests. I don't know what kind of entertainment you
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: have at a Bigfoot festival, but I can look into it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I love those people. I love them. And we love
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Bigfoot. I love the Bigfoot. We're always looking for
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Bigfoot paraphernalia. And making stuff. My wife's making stuff all
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the time. She found this big toe of a Bigfoot somewhere.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's like a.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: A real toe?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's not a real... But you want something freaky?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through all this, but you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: want something freaky? Search Google. This is going to be
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: great in your little dossier. Search Jimmy Stewart and Bigfoot's hand.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Craziest story ever in the whole wide world. Search that. Will,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: how are you, sir?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Good, Neil.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Just checking out.

  Speaker 5: Oh, no.

  Speaker 2: I was getting a mark. There's a barbecue. Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: No, I'm good. Thank you. Something's going on in Hollywood. Hey,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the grapevine's open. It was closed yesterday. There's problems in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: slow Rona, but, you know. Uh, yeah, that's, uh, I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: heard about that. You're having problems and then we're going
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to get some rain. Oh yeah. And then that's going to,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that's always a problem. It's going to make Monday fun. Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Challenge.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Not for me. I had to work from home on Monday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yay. A crazy new clay. How are you, sir?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Neil. Uh, today is my last day
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: training on this show. So next week I'm moving over to.

  Speaker 2: Monks and Merrill.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So listen, listen to monks and Merrill for more new clay. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: He's good at that self-promotion.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Coming soon.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Coming soon to Monks and Merrill.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: That should be fun. As if they're not crazy enough. Oh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: he's more crazy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And last but never least, Anne, how are you? Oh, baby.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Mi Corazon, the heart of this program. Well, that's a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: little bit more like the bride at Haunted Mansion. Is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that an accent? All right, let's get started. Amy King
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and me, your friend Neil Saavedra, handle on the news
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a lead story.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: All I want.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Is to have my peace of mind.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Apparently he's our president. He said Washington will not strike
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Iran ahead of the U.S. midterm elections as the Islamic
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Republic steps up, attacks on commercial ships trying to move
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: back and forth in the Strait of Hormuz. Gosh, talk
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about politics. Oh, we want to hit you. Oh, I
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: want to hit you real bad. But we got this
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: thing called the midterms, and it's a little rocky right now.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: We're trying not to lose a lot of Strength and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the like. So we'll let you do what you're going
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to do. So Trump's war on Iran. Who wrote this?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Trump's war on Iran. FT.com. What is that? What's FT.com?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: F Trump? Is that what it is? No. I don't know. FT.com.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It's just the editorializing there. Having created a global energy
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: crisis and triggered an inflation shock. This is not imbalanced
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: at all. That is hitting American voters' ability to afford
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: everyday products and services.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Financial Times.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It's what? Financial Times? No, it's F Trump. So he
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: says he's not going to attack Iran at any time
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: prior to the midterm elections. So we can wait till afterwards.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Handel's going to watch this, I'm sure. Fort Hood shooter
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Nadel Hassan is going to be executed December 3rd. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: apparently it's going to be live streamed. It's the first
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: military execution in more than 65 years. It's going to
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: happen at Fort Hood. Now, Hassan was convicted of killing
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: 13 people at Fort Hood.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bye.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: And injuring 32 others in 2009. Remember when that all
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: happened and they're, They called it a workplace incident.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which isn't wrong, but it ain't the whole story either. Yes,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I do remember that and how annoying it was.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Is this pay-per-view or what? Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Let's get ready to rifle.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: It's going to be public.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And then they go, in this corner, we have 12
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: handsome military men carrying rifles. Well, good riddance. My last
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: day with you flying solo with the game. Handel will
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: be back. Actually, Handel will be back on the air
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: tomorrow for Handel on the Law and then back with
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: us on Monday. I talked with him yesterday. Anybody want
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: to take a guess? Two seconds into the conversation, what
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: we were talking about?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Anyone?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Bueller?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: He brought up Trump.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, are you serious?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, you just got back from vacation. He's like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: did you hear about what Trump said? And I'm like, well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I've been kind of doing the show for a couple
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: of weeks. Pretty nose to the grindstone. If I miss anything,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Ann's got it right there for me. We're working together.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: That's what we do. But oh boy, he's going to
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: come back. All right. Back to a handle on the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: news with me, your old pal, Neil Saavedra, and your
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: other pal, Amy King. Yeah. Oh, it's me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But I still want to introduce you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, thanks.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I believe in you. I need you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Somebody needs to.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: We're being nice just in case you do have a pool.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: All right. The city of Los Angeles shelled out nearly
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: 480 million dollars. God, we spend money on nothing, don't we?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Over the last five and a half years to end
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: legal disputes involving the LAPD. And this is according to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the L.A. Times. You know, critics say all these costs
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that keep going up and up and up are depriving
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the city of money and pressing needs such as fixing
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: roads and sidewalks. Some of these are absolutely political, stupid,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and it's very simple. If there's a bad cop, fire them.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Get rid of them. If there is, I think it's
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the FBI that does regular lie detector tests. They do
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the polygraph test. And I don't think you should trust
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the old, you know, ask the partner. I think there
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: is a lot of pressure on not tattletailing and not
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: being as get rid of that. Wire them up, sit
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: them down and said, have you seen any crimes done
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: by your partner or any other law enforcement? Whatever you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: have to do, we need to clean systematic racism out
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of there. We need to clean any of the bad
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: people because there's a lot of good men and women
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that are out there and they keep getting dragged into
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: all this garbage with what I'm going to say is
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: probably 10 percent or less, probably less than in society.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? Oh, I thought you were kissing
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the stories for the next. I'm like, oh, do you
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: bless them?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I'm blowing on the ink.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, we're going to have a great show, everybody.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: So I just wish we could get our hands on this.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We give out so much damn money and then don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: know where billions go. And then we get taxed again.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: You know, Tony Orlando is playing in my head nonstop.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Where's Don?
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: With this story.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: What? Where's Don?
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Well, and Dawn. They're there, too. Finally home. After more
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: than 10 months at sea, thousands of sailors have poured
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: off the USS Abraham Lincoln in San Diego to thunderous cheers,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: streaming tears, and emotional hugs. Even some new dads who
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: met their babies for the first time, the sailors and Marines,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: had been deployed in support of Operation Epic Fury. They
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: were in the Middle East. And, of course— I know, right?
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: And I got to tell you, one of the coolest things,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: seeing a carrier come back, is all of the sailors
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: in their dress whites lining the deck. Oh, yeah. It's
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: so cool to see them show up. Just amazing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Uniforms are, symbolism is strong with me. I think symbolism,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you know, from a wedding ring to the flag to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: whatever is powerful. When you see men and women in uniform...
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and know what they're giving up to do what they're
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: doing is always powerful to me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. So we had new babies that they hadn't met
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: yet there. And I saw a couple of proposals, a
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: couple of settlers got down on one knee. It was
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: very sweet.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Are you sure they weren't just tired? Could you imagine
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: if one was just like, oh, my knees from standing
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in the uniform.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: And his girlfriend's like, oh, he's proposing. And he goes, no,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: I just need a break.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, I was resting.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a sucker for that. I still stop at
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Disneyland when they lower the flag around five something or whatever.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I still have a hard time not tearing up during
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the national anthem or seeing service members current and past
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: salute the flag.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, and, you know, they do an honor to military members.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: It's like the military member of the game at Dodger
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: games every every home game.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I tear up every time.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Always.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: It's so great. They're amazing people.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, none of this is worth anything unless
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to defend it. And having something worth fighting
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: for is a powerful thing. All right. Instagram is sorry.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: It gave users too much creed. I.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, the band? Yes, the band. So going through this,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you're going to be like, the band? Just no. Yes,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the band. At first, when I had read it, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: was like, what? You know, like your religion, your belief system,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: your creed. Okay. Creed is, to most people, apparently a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: band that represents a particular moment. You know, the turn
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of the millennium. It was one of the biggest musical
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: acts in the world. 1999. Anthem higher. Many people found
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: out later was mostly about Jesus. And it was all
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: over the place. And people could not get away from it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Lately on Instagram, Hire has been linked to all kinds
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: of other moments used around the internet. So they've noticed
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: on social media platforms keep suggesting it, if not insisting
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: that Creed would be the perfect soundtrack for whatever they post.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So I make my own videos or posts or things
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: like that on Instagram. You could join me there, by
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the way, if you wish. at Fork Reporter, at Fork Reporter.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: My art and making stuff is not there. My art
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and making stuff is at Savco Industries, S-A-A-V-C-O Industries. All artists, welcome.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: And so they do sometimes force songs on you. Like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this is the most power. This is what would go
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: really good with you. And I'm like, no, no, because
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I like the obscure stuff. I'm looking for cramps. I'm
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: looking for the cramps. And it's like, you know, Miley Cyrus.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, no, thank you. So I guess
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: nobody can prove it, but they believe there is a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theory that Creed is paying Meta to suggest their
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: song higher on everything. But there are some that get popular,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: especially ones that like if someone gets hit in the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: face or they fall or whatever, there are some that
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: get used over and over and over. And so I
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: get those, but higher, why is that?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Can you take me higher?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I think more. Can you give me fiber is what
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I when you sing like that sounded like.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: You think I'm backed up?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Can you give me fiber?
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Two things can be true.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: At the same time.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: More controversy for the Kennedy Center. It plans to name
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: a longtime talent manager who has worked with several prominent
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: rock stars in the 80s and 90s. to become the
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: artistic programming director at Washington's premier performing arts center. His
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: name's Rick Canney. He has been working as an outside consultant,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: but now will be elevated to an executive artistic director position.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: The Kennedy Center, of course, mired in recent months in
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: a court fight over its renovations and also the controversy
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: over whether Donald Trump can have his name put on
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: the building, which the courts say no. Multiple sources inside
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: and outside the Kennedy Center say this is a bad
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: decision because Kenny does not have traditional artistic pedigree in
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: the genres for which the center is known. And they
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: question which direction he will take the Kennedy Center.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but I also get annoyed by that
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: because when you start judging art, it's like, who are you? Hmm.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You know, Banksy is in museums. And who gets to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: decide if that was art or not? I love his work,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: but I get annoyed when people start doing that. President
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his administration announced just yesterday that It
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: was suspending Microsoft and several other firms from a program
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: allowing foreign workers to apply for green cards. It also
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: lashed out at certain universities that bring international students to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the U.S. on exchange programs. This announcement came from the VIP.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So J.D. Vance was part of this in the latest
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: swing from the Trump administration on employers and universities. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: here's the hypocrisy that bothers me about things like this.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: You can't say– We can't have dregs or the poor
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or whatever label he wants to put on them coming
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: into the United States. We want the best of the best.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'm fairly sure that Microsoft and universities aren't looking for
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: people without some skills and abilities, right? So if this
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: is what you want, then why would you cut off
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: some of the best of the best you'd assume that's
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: going to university or going into Microsoft? To get green
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: cards and be a part of the American dream. There's
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: a disconnect on the good people, and that could be
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: somebody who's just a family man. I don't have a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: problem with that. But there's got to be some sort
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of good neighbor policy for these things. Otherwise, it is
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: just you're brown. Bye. Which seems asinine to me.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Another ICE shooting. This one happened in New York City.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Federal immigration officers opened fire on a man from the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Dominican Republic who they were trying to arrest.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And his child, huh? Or there was a child?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen says at DHS that they
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: did not know there was a child in the backseat.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: They say that the 28-year-old man, identified as Oscar Belgal,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: was shot in the neck and They say that he
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: knew the kid was in the back of the car
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: and still made the decision to try to flee.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the rub, right? Is that ultimately.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Well, and there was some. Mom, Donnie came out last night.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: The New York City mayor came out and said that
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: it was an unconscionable, incredibly serious situation. Agents surrounded the
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: car and the five-year-old choice. child before firing multiple rounds
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: um but ice had issued a detainer that he runs
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: with a gang and so it's not like he was
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: not the target they say that he was the target
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: of this.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Investigation so yeah there's nothing at this point there's nothing
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: they can do right there's nothing you know there's no
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: one's ever going to go oh this was a good
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: clean it's everybody split down Party sides, party lines, rather.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Number 10.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: OK, some very opportunistic bad guys have been busted. Large
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: scale federal crackdown on drug dealers around Skid Row has
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: been carried out. More than 20 people were arrested early yesterday.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: The LAPD teamed up with the FBI and DEA to
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: carry out the raid that not only happened on Skid Row,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: But also search warrants were served in Pasadena, West Covina,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Simi Valley, Paramount, Gardena and Hellendale in San Bernardino County.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: So they're saying they're going after the guys who are dealing.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: And these guys are particularly bad because they sell to
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the people on Skid Row. And they know where they are.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: They know when they get their benefits and when to
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: go after them to sell the drugs to them. And
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Mayor Bass came out and she said, we've got to
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: be clear about what the operation is about. It's about
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: getting criminals off the street who prey on the people
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: in Los Angeles who are homeless because being homeless isn't
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: a crime. Yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: No, but pooping and peeing on the street is.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Apparently not in LA.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Doing drugs on the street and living on the street.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Right, but they're kind of preying on them and just
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: exacerbating the problem.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, also stealing electricity, rewiring the light poles. What else? Oh,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: taking wrenches and pulling water from the fire hydrants, starting
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: fires in a public place. So being homeless isn't, but
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: all the stuff that comes with it is, I guess.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: All right, NASA's SpaceX crew 12 splashes down off LA
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: coast after 100 million mile orbital journey. And Amy and
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I were watching and we were just talking about how it,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: that's another point of pride. It's just cool. And that's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: around the world. Sure, do we, you know, USA, USA.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: But the achievement of humanity benefits all of us and
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: around the globe. And just to still see that we're
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: exploring things. And some people think that the space program is,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: you know, not important, but it absolutely is. And if
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you read about Elon Musk and SpaceX and some of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the things that he pushed through is fascinating. So like
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they would go to get a part and it would
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: be $ 120, 000 for the part. And he'd look at it
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: apparently and go, that's about $ 1, 000 in material. And the
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: technology is not that crazy. So that does not make sense.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: So he'd have one of his personnel. He'd go, I'm
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: giving you $ 5, 000 to make that same thing, which is plenty.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And they'd figure out to do it, and they'd come
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: in almost $ 1, 900 less than the $ 5, 000. The way he
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: cut the costs by being more efficient because the space
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: program was like, well, that's just what it costs, not
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: based on what it took to make it or the
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: materials or the time or the tech. And so it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: pretty amazing to see how that all came together there.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: I don't like the way he does business. That's what
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: a mega donor says. This guy is an attorney. His
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: name is Eric Dieters. And he says that Kimberly Guilfoyle,
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: who's the new U.S. ambassador to Greece, asked him to
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: wire $ 100, 000 to her ahead of a hearing to get
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: her confirmed. and also paid the president's two oldest sons,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump and Eric Trump, $ 300, 000 in speaking fees. That's
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: according to the Wall Street Journal. Dieters says that he
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: has no issues with the speaking fee payments, but did
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: express disapproval over cryptocurrency ventures from the Trump people. The
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: only thing that bothers me, he said, about Donald Trump Jr.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: and Eric Trump is how they, along with their father,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: are getting rich out in the open with crypto and
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: everything else. He said President Trump said he hated crypto.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: His sons get into crypto, and now he loves crypto.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Did you hear about– I think this is the same guy.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: He ended up giving her $ 300, 000 and wanted her to
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: pass along a song that he wrote to Kid Rock.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Is that what that $ 300, 000 was for? We heard about
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the $ 300, 000.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: It was for a couple things. It was to get
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: some meetings done. you know, kind of introduce him to
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: people in politics. But he was mad that she didn't
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: ever pass that Kid Rock song along.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Please make that not be true, Lord. Sorry.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: He did say she didn't do anything for him. But
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear the part about Kid Rock.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: She doesn't do anything for me either. Alrighty, on that note,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I say we wrap this up and come back with
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: even more good times on this Funtime Friday on the
• 28:00
