• 0:42
  Speaker 2: news day or we pretend it's a very strong news day,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and we are very impressed with the fact that we
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: are a news talk station. Okay, enough of that. Can
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: we say anything better about ourselves? Because we don't have
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: enough people that say good things about us outside of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the show, So how will we describe us.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Out of all the shows, we're definitely one of them.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well said, well said? Okay, fair enough, A right, let's
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: do it. Neil, good morning to you, Good morning buddy
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and Leu. See Wilson is here. Oh everybody, Kono there
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you are, good morning. It's one of your favorite days.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if you knew this.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: What day is? It is? Today? In history?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Bill?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh god, I forgot all about it. He Roshima Day,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Hiroshima Day, one of the better days in US history,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: very close to August ninth, which is Nagasaki Day. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was thinking Lucille Ball's birthday, but yes, yes, as we celebrate.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I've shared with you the story of when I was
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in Hiroshima, that Peace Park right around the ground zero
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: they have that they have that exposition building, the skeletal dome.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: It's the only thing has survived anywhere near there. It
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was that ground zero, so there's a little bit of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: concrete left and then that skeleton of the building, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: surrounding it is a railing and the whole area is
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: known as the Peace Park where that's been renamed and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it school kids from all over the country visited on
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a regular basis. And when I was there a few
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: years ago, I was by myself at the railing and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I've shared this before, but I'm to share it again
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: in case anybody has not listened to it. And about
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: ten maybe ten fifteen feet from me, two Japanese businessmen
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we're looking at the structure, and we looked at each
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: other and I said, don't screw with us ever again.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And I didn't say the word screw. And the Japanese
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: are they do not emote you know that, don't you?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Very very Yeah? They just don't know, no emotion whatsoever,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: very stone faced. Matter of fact I once had. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: don't know if I shared this one. I had a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Japanese client in the world of surrogacy, and I was
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: introduced to him in my office. We had not met before.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And when you deal with Japanese people, businessmen particularly, is
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you hand each other a business card and you grab
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the two corners, the bottom two corners of the business
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: card in each hand with your thumb and forefinger, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you look and you read every line, and then you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: look up and nod in recognition because you're paying so
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: much attention to the other person. That's sort of the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: way it works. If there is a smudge on that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: card that you're handing him, that effectively means you're saying
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: your mother is a whore. It is one of the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: worst things you can do. So here I am reading
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the card and my secretary, who is behind him, is
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: waving her arms desperately and then taking her hand and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: going across her neck, as in cut it off, cut
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it off kind of thing. And I said it was
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: mister Sato, And I said, excuse me, mister Sato. There
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: was an interpreter, and I said I'll be back in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a moment. So I go behind him and there she is,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know, giving me the frantic wave, and I pulled
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: her inside an office. I said, what the hell's the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: matter with you? She says, Bill, As you were bowing,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you were sticking your front teeth out. I hadn't exactly Amy,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what I was doing, And I had no
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: idea I was doing it none, And of course no
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: emotion whatsoever. Right, They're just stone faced h And it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: is horrible. And that was horrible. Well, that's a given,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: but that was inadvertent. That was.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Like most times, No, it was not.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It's sometimes my racism just falls out.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stop accusing me of racism. Please let me ask
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: if you are racist. Isn't racist going after a particular race,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a particular that's correct, if you go after every single one,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: How can you be a racist if you go after actually.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Everybody equal crazy. I'm not crazy about the term racists.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: There are times where it is quite specific, but I'm
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: not a big fan of that. However, when I use
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it on you, it is so pure and specific that
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I don't feel bad about it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Okay, Will, Good morning Bill, I'm
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: surprised you were never named ambassador to Japan. Well said.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't ask you of what ethnic
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: religious persuasion are you. I haven't asked. Well, I have
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a German name, but I'm very English. Okay, so you are.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You're basically half a Nazi and fair enough. I like that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And I know you are Danish in background. Danes a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: lot of very good ham uh and good cheese in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: daily but that's about it. You know, the Danes do nothing.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I mean they've yeah, it's just even Norwegians do more.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: How about our vikings? Your vikings that's a long time ago,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: but you have you do you do? I'm thinking of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: great uh Norwegian. Norwegians are good kon tiki and also
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Odd Mundson, first man to actually reach the South Pole
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I have, and it's Denmark.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: How beautiful are the people?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: How beautiful are the people you know, I mean compared
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to pigmies in Ghana, you know, in terms of the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: way we look at the make yourself feel better?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Sorry sorry not sorry, and then kono uh, good morning
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to you, and that basically wraps it up.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, good morning again. I completely forgot that I said
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: good morning to Cono. That goes to tell you how
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: impressive he is in my world. Uh and I and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Amy has already been there too. Okay, guys, are you
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: ready to do it? We start the morning? Uh in
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a typical morning morning show. Way. No, it wasn't a rant.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a rant.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: You stuck your teeth out and made them buck Well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It was it was inadvertent. It was completely inadvertent. That
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: says one of two things. Uh is it worse to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: do it inadvertently or is it worse to do it
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on purpose? That is the question. There's a Shakespeare.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, from your heart consciousness.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, guys, are you are you ready to do it?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It is time for Handle on the News with Amy
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story today. The Senate Homeland Security
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and Government Affairs Committee is holding a vote. Is a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: doctor Anthony Fauci going to be held in contempt of Congress?
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: They actually just held the vote.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Oh and what happened?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: They voted to hold him in contempt?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Oh what a shocker. That is a Republican control the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Senate subcommittee or committee itself.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And ooh and is this for pleading the fifth Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It's for Yeah, it's for pleading the fifth and well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: or it's for not answering questions. Is refusal to answer questions,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter on what basis you refuse to answer,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: someone can be held in contempt.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: But they're saying that he shouldn't have been able to
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: plead the fifth because he had the preemptive party.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one argument. Now has that been established by court? No,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it has not. And a statement Heretofore, if you made
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a statement and didn't answer questions, it was deemed that
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it was not you have not waived the fifth And
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the lawyer, oh for Congress, for the Republican Party, says, oh, no,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that waves the fifth. So that's going to be a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: court battle, although you know, the Congress has the ability
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to issue contempt orders under any base, under any circumstances.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So now what's going to happen is fouch, You're going
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to go to jail. And this whole thing has to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: do with his diary in which he had some doubts
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: as to where the COVID virus came from. He insisted
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it was that wet market in Hunan. And the people
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: who are the conspiracy folks are not even so much conspiracy, folks,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: but a lot of people believe that it came out
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of that lab in Hunan, the virology virology lab and Hunan.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Then I say that, I said, Wuhan, Oh, no, Wuhan
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: is Uh that's the what do you call the rock group,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: isn't it? No Wu tang Wu tang tang. You know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Say okayat drink, Yeah, okay, fair enough.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: In any case, Uh, they're nailing him for that. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: he lied when he was in front of Congress and
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: said it was not in the lab, and then he
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: had doubts and so anyway, that's what that was about.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And he claimed that the reason he was in front
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of the committee was simply to nail him. And he's
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: absolutely right. Absolutely. Rampaul, who's chair of the committee, has
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: said over and over and over again he deserves to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: be in prison. I want to put him in prison.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And Fauci said, I'm taking the fifth because, as Fauci said,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and correctly, so, you're looking for anything I can say
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to come up with a contradiction under any time, under
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: any circumstances, so I can be nailed for perjury, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: perjury is a far worse crime than contempt.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, things aren't so hot at Chipotle, and the restaurant
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: chains have both removed Kalipinos from their menus after a
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: salmonella outbreak that has affected at least twenty seven states.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: According to health officials, about three hundred and forty five
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: people have become sick in Minnesota alone, it was over
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: one hundred. The Mexican fast food casual restaurant Kudoba said
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: it is cooperating with public health officials as they investigate
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: the outbreak link to the jalapeno peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard of Qdoba, Neil. Are you familiar with
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: that chain? Yeah? Oh? Are They're not in southern California,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: are they?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I think we have some pot I didn't know that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think are they out of San Diego?
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah. And then you can see, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: they on the menu you can order not anymore but
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: salmon and salmon Salmonello's holapenos can't do that anymore.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And some tortillas.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, moving on.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, you just made Amy sound like a person of color.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: The US Food and Drug Administration Administration on Wednesday, approved
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the United States first m R inn a base flu
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: vaccine for adults fifty fifty years of age and older.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: So this comes from Maderna, And this whole thing comes
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: about because this particular vaccine was found to be twenty
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: seven percent more effective during the twenty twenty four and
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five respiratory virus season. And this is next
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to the regular flu shots where they have to kind
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: of guess.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly each year, and sometimes they just guess wrong
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: completely and there's almost no effect, and sometimes they're right
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: on This is makes it just easier to guess right,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: or it gives it closer, and it does.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Happen much shorter window between the strain selection and public circulation,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: so gives a better better chance.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Blanche's confirmation still a question mark. So President Trump nominated
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Attorney General Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to take the
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: job permanently, and he got through a committee vote, but
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: now Republican Senator Susan Collins is saying she's going to
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: vote against him, which leaves things sort of up in
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: the air because with Mitch McConnell out indefinitely because he's
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: having some health issues, Blanche can only lose one more
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Republican vote in order to be confirmed.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still up in the air, even with Blanche greeing
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to in writing get rid of that weaponization bill, the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: wepsization fund that the President wanted. And although the President
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: got his, we're not going to be nailed for any
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: tax liability. My family, my building, my family, my business
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: is me no way, and he got it. He got it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: That was it was. Well, that's the whole thing onto itself,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the way we work these days. Okay, let's do one
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: more and then we'll get to get through them pretty
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: quickly when we come back.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: All right, AI agents using models developed by Anthropic and
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Open AI, engaged in what they are calling sustained potentially
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: harmful activity directed at real people and organizations. So this
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: test was done out of the UK, and it seems
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that these some messages carried harmful payloads from these AI
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: agents and some were attempts at social engineering targeting real people.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: And social engineering is when you manipulate humans based on psychology,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: and you know, magicians do it and thieves do it
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and things like that. But yeah, so they found them
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: doing it. We're gonna we're gonna have problems.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: With Oh, no, when AI can look at holes in
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: these programs and on its own go find the areas
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in which they you know, the AI can effectively enter
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: right as a virus, and it's and fooling real people
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: into thinking it's real people, and it's it's tough. It is.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You're right, it's going to be very, very difficult. AI
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: is going to control your life. You know, the old
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: saw that first rule of computers, don't harm humans, second rule,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: don't hard humans. There would have been a third rule,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: but whoever said that was killed by a robot at
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the time, So that is a problem.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a new attraction at Universal Studios Measles Land. Yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: someone spent eleven hours at the park on Sunday, July
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: twenty sixth. They apparently have a confirmed case of measles,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: and that means that a whole lot of people could
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: have been exposed. So the person, according to the Ella
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: County Department of Public Health, was at the park between
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: ten am and nine pm on Sunday, July twenty sixth,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: So they're saying anybody who was there should be watching
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: for symptoms through about August sixteenth, because it takes a
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: little while for the symptoms to show up. The virus
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: can remain in the air and on surfaces for many hours,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: even after an infected person has left the area.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And the reason that the medical authorities are so concerned
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: about measles, it is probably the most infectious disease that exists.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You're near someone who's measles, you're probably going to get
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: measles unless you've been vaccinated. But then you become autistic,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: so when people talk to you, you look down, you
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't say anything much about it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: We almost wit on that day, as a matter of fact,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: that was my birthday weekend and we oh almost went.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: But I'm assuming you're vaccinated. I'm assuming that Max Max
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is vaccinated indeed. So yeah, the chances are it's the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: unvaccinated people, of course, that are most happened.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: In a group setting. Yeah, all right, coffee tea are maggots?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: You have.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You remember that, I'm saying coffee tea or me. Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Workers at a Los Angeles airline food processing center. This
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: is absolutely discussing filed a complete alleging employees are being
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: forced to work in unsen unsanitary, unsafe conditions inside the facility.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Thousands and thousands of meals coming out of this group,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the Flying Food Group facility. It's a catering company for
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: airlines located next to LAX. They supply all the in
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: flight meals dozens of international domestic carriers there. So you
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: had someone, you know, they're looking at maggots, moles, cockroaches,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: vermin a facility along with problems involving extreme heat and
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: inadequate soap and paper towels. So there was I guess
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: a worker who had I get the dishes were not
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: being washed, They're piling up in heat, and maggots start
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: forming on the decomposing food, and they said, we got
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to throw these things out in the and the uh
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: one of the principal workers or superfriers like, no, you
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: got to wash them down and put them into rotation
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: because they need to go back into rus.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You know, the shame of it is you. You you
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: used to get maggots in your food for free on
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the airlines and now you are Yeah, I know you
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have to pay for maggots.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, depending on their size. Yeah, if you could stow
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: them underneath your feet, you're fine. But not just material
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: kinds of stuff. People reporting headaches, stomach pain, all kinds
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: of stuff from the unsanitary setting.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: So bone Petito.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Finally confirmed. The Senate has confirmed doctor Erica Schwartz. She's
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: going to lead the CDC the Senats for Disease Control
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: and Prevention. That makes her the health agency's first permanent
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: director in about a year. She served as the Deputy
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: surch in General during President Trump's first term. Before that,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: she was a Navy physician and a chief medical officer
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: in the Coastguard. She was approved mostly along party lines.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Now you'll remember she replaces Susan Menares, who only lasted
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: about twenty nine days before Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Junior fired her.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And it was over the vaccine issue that Manaras wouldn't
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: say vaccines cause autism. Are you shocked? And I am,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that Erica Schwartz is actually qualified for this position. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: find that stunning that we actually have someone with the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: appropriate credentials.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: She supports childhood vaccines.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, yeah, it's.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: And still she didn't get any votes from the other side.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't get that, because if she is qualified,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: is it because and I think that's the case that
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: if it is an appointment by the president Democrats automatically
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: say no, and it goes the other way if it
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: is a Democratic nominee. When the Republicans are in power,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: you have the Senate in the case of confirmation, when
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden the Republican Senate, we just said no, just
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: said no across the board, didn't matter what it is.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: That's where we've reached. We reached that point. It's completely crazy.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: How is it possible if she has credentials that you
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: would have every Democrat, mainly every Democrat vote against her.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Come on, guys, please.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles Unified School District students are preparing to go
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: back to class that we talked about next week. But
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: there's new data from the Gun Violence Archive the US
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Department of Education provided by this Gun Violence Data Hub.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: So they're looking at all these campuses and they can
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: tell where gunfire has taken place within the last decade
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: or so.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: See the proximity.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Anything that's within five hundred yards that's picked up gunfire,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: They is too close obviously, So a school adjacent shooting
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: is what they call that. Anything five hundred yards of
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: a campus at any time, day or night, whether the
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: kids are in there or not. They've been mapping these incidents,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: and it shows clusters of gunfire around schools in South
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, including seventy fifth Street Elementary School where fifty.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the inner city. It's an inner city school,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and they're just more dangerous. It's that simple. I mean,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: statistically speaking, and not even statistically speaking, realistically speaking, it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: just more dangerous to go to the schools. Talking about
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: schools amy.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Hitting the road to get the kids back to class.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine having the principal show up at your
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: front door. Apparently that's what LAUSD is doing about a
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: week before the kids head back to class for this
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: new school year. It's called the I Attend Program. So
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Superintendent Andre's Chit, along with teachers, principals and other district officials,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: got on a bus from Pacoima Middle School and visited
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: local families at their homes. Why because they want to
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: address chronic absenteeism and they think that by getting in
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: their face, basically they're going to get students to go
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: back to class.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: That's great. On a school bus they go and visit students.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: The I Attend Program which originally and they should have
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: kept that name, the cheesy photo op program.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Somebody's got to care about the kids if the parents
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: are the parents aren't getting them to class, and someone's going.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: To I agree, But sending the principal out and a
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: school bus full of teachers, you know, you send out?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Who enforces the truancy? I think is it the school
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: police that enforce truancy laws? And I don't know the answer.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: But how about just sending out an investigator?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Do they have that anymore?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Well? I think parents, you know, I don't know if
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: they have truancy officers. There is truancy that still exists.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: O truancy is still a problem. You get a call, Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you first get a call. No, you first get a call.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Kid late, you know, you first get a call, and
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: then someone comes out and visits you. And then at
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: some point I think, is the cops to come out
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and arrest parents? But they I don't know the last
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: time a parent was arrested for failure for their kid
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to go to school. I think if you combine truancy
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: with the kid taking an ar fifteen and shooting up
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: a kindergarten and killing fifteen kids, that would probably have
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the cops come out.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Robots A lab at MIT has engineered a three hundred
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: dollars flapping robot that can fly and swim under water.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: The whole thought of this is that and the going
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: down this path is that it could one day use
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: this robot to ultimately monitor and help protect the ocean.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: So they looked at.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Puffins and other diving birds that they use their wings
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: to propel them through the air and water. They examined
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: all the complex dynamics that allow them to do that
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: transition between water and air, and they put it into
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a nine ounce flapping Aerial Aquatic Vehicle FAAV, powered by
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: a battery operated motor, nylon wings and a tail coated
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: with water repellent nanoparticles about three hundred bucks.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Like I said, have you seen that with this? It's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the cormorants. I think cormorants never know the name of
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: that bird is and they take a dive into the water.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It can go down about fifteen feet and grab the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: fish and come up.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's insane.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dive bombers, if you will.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: A head spinning two hundred and fifty one dogs have
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: been discovered.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: You devil, Oh look at that? A head spinning Ooh, well.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Sister lind Blair had several complaints come in about her
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: act in dog kennel operation. They got complaints that people
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: are not people, but dogs were being kept in overcrowded,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: unsanitary conditions in a variety of unpermitted and or unapproved
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: sheds or buildings on the site. So Animal Control went
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: out checked it out. They found there were two hundred
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: and fifty one dogs at the unlicensed facility.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Layers said in.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Social media though, that this incident highlights general overcrowding issues
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: at rescue sites.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: That she says, we're brought on by the pope.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: They didn't take any of the dogs, so they didn't
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: deem that the dogs were an un safe condition or
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: an unsafe place. It's just unlicensed and there were a
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: whole lot of them, probably be on the law.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: They had more pea soup than they could eat.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Damn oh well said, and their dogs as they get
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: up there, the dog's heads were spinning and you knew
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: it was her.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, poisoning trees at a California beach.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: What the hell?
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: So trees in Lake Tahoo are being poisoned and the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: county sheriff there and their offices have no idea, by
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: whom or why. Four years they've been investigating this. They
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: don't know who's responsible. They did recently get some video.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I guess whatever is being used stinks, and so people
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: complain about the smell and they go and they find
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: that at the base of these trees is this goop
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: that is poisoning killing the pine trees there. So who
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: the hell is doing this and why? They don't know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: But pretty weird.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It is, all right, one more story and then we
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: will bail.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Firefighters are superheroes, just saying so. More than fifteen hundred
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: fire fighters are on the lines from two dozen states
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: and they're fighting those fires up in and around Spokane,
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Washington that have taken out nearly eight hundred and fifty
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: homes in other buildings since Saturday. The fire is only
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: grown by two acres since Monday, so they're really doing
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: some good work to get lines around the fire. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: crews are sleeping just five to seven hours a night
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: and then working sixteen hour shifts.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Wow. Crazy, except for the heat wave is coming back
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and if there's any wind at all, you can see
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: this thing increase. Also, they've arrested someone who say was
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the arsonist of this.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: He's going to be in court today.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh boy, restitution, right, he's going to be you know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: here you go six hundred homes and sixty thousand acres
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and you get to pay restitution. Okay, we are done, guys.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Fiene coming up, the Senate did vote, or the Senate
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: committee did vote to hold doctor Fauci in contempt because
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he took the fifth so many times. And I will
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: go through that and it was well, it was foregone conclusion.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But just a general comment about these ridiculous hearings, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: we'll come back with that. I got a lot to
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: cover today. Kfi AM six forty. You've been listening to
