  Speaker 3: It was she needed surgery.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: She had a bile duct that was blocked and was

  Speaker 2: in really bad shape, and I asked, I asked listeners,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this was when I had the weekend show, I mean
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a million years ago. And I asked the listeners, do
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I and that was eighteen hundred dollars But that was
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Years ago, A lot more now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot more now. But also you have
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to adjust for inflation. And I asked, listeners, do I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: spend eighteen maybe it was twenty eight hundred dollars, Do
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I spend this money on the dog to save its life?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Or no? Overwhelmingly, like ninety five ninety eight percent said,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of course you have to spend the money.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: How can you not? And then the next week I.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Came back and reported, yeah, we put the dog down
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and it did very well as it was being put down.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: One of his twin daughters was six needed a fifteen

• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of jokes about that that are.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Very very funny.

  Speaker 2: Are you I mean, are you going this? We're going
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to are you going to spend four five thousand dollars
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: on the cat.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Well, I've already spent almost four thousand on her and
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: we still don't know what's wrong with her.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: That's like two visits.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: There is there a limit.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Well, at some point I'm going to run out of money.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: That's what I keep telling them that do we have
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: any vets listening?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: There was you know my dog that was eaten by
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a coyote. You know, she became a coyote food and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: she was not eating. She was severely injured with a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: coyote try and eat her. So she went into surgery
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and it was like four thousand dollars. And then the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: following week she took a turn for the worse and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: needed another surgery and needed a very complex surgery, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: they wanted seventeen thousand dollars. I said, you're dreaming. It
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: used to be You're just done. So we put the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: dog down. I mean, I won't just spend that much weight.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And I asked, I asked the tech what do people
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: do they can't afford this, what do they do?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They put the dog down?
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Now, they used to be that it was like really inexpensive,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: like you'd take all three of your animals. I used
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: to have two cats and a dog and take all
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: three of them, get a discount, and get all three
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: of them in for like fifty bucks. But the vets
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: have changed and they want to test for absolutely everything
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: before because.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Of the malpractice, because of the malpractice suits.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: It's like anything else. You have to test up the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yang yang matter of fact, they do test.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Up the they do. They are yes, they.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Have Okay, I know, okay, guys, done with a frivolity
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in the morning, morning dead.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Catch get it now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go, guys, it's time for handle on the news.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Amy Neil and me lead story. Well, federal panel consisting
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of I think a district court judge as well as
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a couple of appeals court judges were ruling where they
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: were listening to a case about California and can't use
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the newly configured congressional boundaries for the mid term election
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to basically make five districts more likely to flip to Democrat.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And this has to do with Congress. That was Prop
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: fifty that we did, and the court said it's legit.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It is legit.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: The Republicans who the same thing happened in Texas. Who
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: fought for it to happen in Texas, filed a lawsuit
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to make it sure it didn't happen in California, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that jud just said no. And it had to do
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: with why were these congressional districts flipping because of political reasons?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The argument is, it can't do it for racial reasons,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: but you can for political reasons.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: And that's what the court said. This is clearly political.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: California is going to be red now.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no. It has to do with
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: these districts.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: No, these districts which lean read there happened to be
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a few congressional districts that are red.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Wait, so we're gonna be blue.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Now, we're gonna be bluer.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be bluer in these five This is California
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: gonna look like liberal it. Yeah, it's gonna look but
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you see Texas, Texas did the same thing. It did
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the same thing for Republican diss.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: This is going to be conservative.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Neil Neil, Neil Neil, what's that trying. I'm trying to
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: be serious here, I'm trying to be serious.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You can't tell when you're trying to be funny.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry that was not funny, but you know what,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I want to come back and I do want to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: make it funny. You we're gonna when we come back
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: when you're talking aimy about dead cats.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, Oh my turn to mask or not to mask?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: A judge heard arguments from a Trump administration lawyer who
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: pressed the judge to block the newly enacted California law
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: that bans most law enforcement officers in the state from
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: wearing masks. Another law then also requires them to show ID.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: It's a first of its kind ban on police face coverings,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: and the lawyer says it could unleash chaos across the
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: country and potentially land ice agents on the wrong side
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: of the law if it were to take effect. The
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: judge appeared skeptical and said, why can't they perform their
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: duties without a mask? They did it until twenty twenty five.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how in the world do those who don't have
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: masks manage to operate? Now there's an exemption for California
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: peace officers, which I don't understand. But anyway, there's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: lot of a lot of dissension, a lot of controversy
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: regarding the masks that I say.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: It's all because of what's going on with ICE.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Although you know, police officers has been a problem over
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the last few years because with facial recognition and you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: looking at police officers taking pictures and they find out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Who they are and they dock them. Yeah, and they
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: dock them.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But there has to be something. As much as I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: am for law and order, there has to be something,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a number, something, identification, something to be Otherwise anybody and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: everybody can just throw that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I say that there are and say there are
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I station and come in.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Some of them don't even have ID that tells people
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: there are ICE agents and they're breaking into a story
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of breaking into the house and pulling people out.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, all right, we're selling oil.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody, get your oil American slash Venezuelan oil. The United
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: States completed its first sale of Venezuelan oil, valued at
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: five hundred million bucks. We're going to expect more of this, obviously.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So Trump said that Friday the oil industry would invest
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: at least one hundred billion to rebuild the infrastructure there.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He says that it's battered. Their energy sector is battered.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Of course, fortunately not everybody feels like it's worth investing in.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Exxon Mobile CEO said, I don't know. There's a lot
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: going up there, and there's legal and commercial frameworks that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: have to be established, so not everybody is as gung
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ho on that as an investment.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Well, this was at a.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Policy meeting where Trump had with the CEOs of oil companies,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and it was Exon Mobile CEO Darren Woods who said
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that Venezuela is uninvestible. Remember Trump wants one hundred billion dollars,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: one hundred billion dollars invested. He goes no, and then
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he points out that Venezuela twice nationalized the oil industry
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and took twice their infrastructure from Exon Mobil, and he goes,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you know, a third time uninvestable.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Well, so Trump.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Got really pissed off, and he said, Okay, all of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you can invest, but not you Exon Mobil, you can't.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Welfare recipients not welcome. Trump administration has suspended immigrant visa
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: processing for people in seventy five countries, including Afghanistan and
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Iran and Somalia. The freeze will take effect next week
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: and targets people that officials say are likely to become
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: a public charge. They describe those people as people who
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: may rely on government benefits for basic needs.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, except you know, where's the evidence.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And already it's not easy to immigrate to the United States,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and part of the visa application to live here.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Is proving you got the money. And so it's look
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: at the countries involved.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: What do you mean proving you got the money? Is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there some I'm genuinely ignorant of this. You have to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: when you come here, you have to show that you
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: have a certain amount of money.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and or you have the skill that is necessary,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a skill set that is necessary. It is not easy
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to get a visa to come in. I say, now,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: visitors visa are easy.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: And this does not affect visitor visas by.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: The way, No, it does not affect visitor visas or
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: work visas that the requirements are met by the companies.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: But we're talking about people that are coming here permanently.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: You know why this is an issue right now.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Because what's going on in Minnesota with the Somalian people
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: who were on the temporary right issue.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because the fraud that's going on, the.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Fraud, and in congressional hearings they're saying, like three quarters
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: of the Somalis in that area are on public assistance.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of things, but you know, so
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you have one group of people, which President Trump called garbage,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the Somalis, nicely said, and it's been extrapolated to other countries,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: mainly poor countries and a lot of the Muslim countries.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And I mean, there is some method to the madness here,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: but there also is a way of giving Greek cars
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to people who not only deserve green cards because they're
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: coming from places that meet the requirements of the persecution
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in their place.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: But also what the United States needs. I mean, even
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: when my.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Parents became they got their green card, and it took
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: my dad eleven years because there was a quota system,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: stood in line eleven years. I mean, that was a
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: very uncomfortable standing in line for eleven years. But yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I mean literally it was eleven years before he came up.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And so my mom and dad went to the American
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: consulate and had applied and my dad had an engineering
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: degree and had those skills. My mother was a dentist
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and had those skills, and the counselor office said to them,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: as issuing a green card, you're exactly the kind of
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: people that America needs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: He called me sappy, But that's what that's what I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: think when I hear that, I want to hear immigrants
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: coming and taking advantage of the true American having opportunity.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and giving and giving your country. Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you were an open book, would you have
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: your appendix removed? What I have?
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: When I didn't need an open book.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I said, if you were an open book, would you
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: have your appendix removed?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It's a book joke. Appendix in the.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: God that's a little bit of a stretch that took
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: someone with some brains to figure out, which means nobody
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: on this show.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, moving on, Oh man, So ice agent shot a man,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: this time in the leg for everybody gets crazy. This
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was in the leg of Venezuelan. Man got shot in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the leg after being ambushed and attacked by two other people.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: And the agent was ambushed in the attack.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Venezuela, and they were trying to arrest an
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: immigrant at the time, and so this is another shoe
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: happening happening in Minneapolis.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this I don't think there's a lot of
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: controversy to if, in fact, According to the DHS, he
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: resisted arrest and violently.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: It's a quote assaulted the officer.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: With a shovel and a brooms.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if that is true, then it was totally justified.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I have no issue with that. The guy's
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: lucky to be alive.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Frankly, are Greenland's days numbered. Denmark's foreign minister said there
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: was a frank but also constructive conversation with the Trump
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: administration at the White House yesterday, but no deal. He says,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: we still have fundamental disagreement. That's from Lars Rosmussen, the
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: top Danish diplomat. He said, we didn't manage to change
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: the American position, and the American position is from Trump,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: we want Greenland.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Now, this is getting more interesting by the second. Denmark
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: is sending troops over to Greenland because that's who defends
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Screenland doesn't have its own army and the two hundred
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of them. France is sending troops. Now that gets really
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: interesting because Denmark is part of NATO, France is part
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of NATO, and the United States is part of NATO.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: So does one NATO.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Country invade and do is there a military conflict with
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: another NATO country? They never figured that was going to happen. Ever,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: is that supposed to be intimidating? We have two hundred people,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: but now we have diffren You know, it's it's going
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: to be really interesting because an attack on one NATO
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: country is an attack on all. That's Article five. But
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: that's just an attack. It doesn't say from whom, It
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: just says an attack. And it was created to deter
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Soviet a Soviet attack. So, man, this is going well,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: we're hearing that NATO is going to disappear. If that happens,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: NATO collapses, Okay, moving on, and then we're not going
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to sell. They're saying, we're not selling NATO, thank you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Although they're negotiating do we want more bases? But they
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: can have all the ones they want. You know, it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: not like anything's going to change.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's negotiation. Stop. What are they going to do?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I would think they're negotiating the price they want to discount.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's like if Trump wants bases or
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: he wants some.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Of them, but they already can get I mean, there's
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: no issue.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Moving Oh by the way, I'm going to do a
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: story about this at eight point fifty.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Welcome to Greenland.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: The money part of it, which in and of itself
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: interesting stuff.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I do one more story before we take our.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Break, all right. I love this. Sometimes it seems our
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: president gets information from the Internet or something and says sources.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He said. He made this vague statement yesterday that he's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: been told on good authority that plans for executions in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Iran have stopped, even as Tehran has indicated fast try
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and executions ahead of its crackdown on protesters. So Trump
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: didn't specify where he received the information, but only described
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it as very important sources on the other side.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Now what I believe he does get that information, all
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: of this classified information, and there is intelligence out there.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So it always ends with this phrase, Listen, I hope
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: it's true. Knows.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and he every time. I hope that's
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: what's going on. But now the executions. So the executions
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: have been stopped at least for the immediate future. Not
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the attacks on the citizenry. Those massacres are still going on.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It's just the executions because of the world reaction to
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: this and Iran is if the execution is kept on going.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: The President said, We're going for it. You know, you
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: got to stop those executions. And Iran. See now, when
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the president says something like that or else, people believe
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the or else. That line in the sand, I mean
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Obama drew the line in the sand with you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Saddam It. It was ridiculous. He never crossed it. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: mean they crossed it, but he never did anything about it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: One of the bushes, was it?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: The bush?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: And the line in the sand I think was an
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Obama issue. I think it was. But anyway, the line
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: in the sand doesn't mean much to the United States
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: except for Donald Trump when he said there's a line,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: there is a line, and Iran is saying, Okay, we're
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: not going to cross it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Just before we went to break, Amy reported as part
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of her news broadcast that there is a California senator
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: has introduced a bill in the California legislature that limits
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the president's term to two years. Cannot go for third
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: year or third term. Okay, he's a lawyer, so clearly
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: when he took his constitutional law class, they only went up.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: The class only went to the twenty first Amendment because
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the twenty second Amendment says that a president can only
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: serve two terms.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I'd vote for this guy, for the lawyer that wastes
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: more money in the legislature than almost anybody else. Okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: back we go more Handle on the News with Amy,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Neil and.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Me Grock's getting investigated.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: California has announced an investigation into Elon Musk's x AI.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Governor Newsom accuses the artificial intelligence company of becoming a
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: what he calls a breeding ground for predators to spread
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: non consensual, sexually explicit AI deep fakes, and that has
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: been a problem. X Ai has just announced, though, that
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: it is doing it itself. It's blocking GROC from making
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: these images anymore.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's scary stuff.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's you know, with this AI business, no
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: one has any idea you know, where it's going to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: go or what kind of controls they are.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: It's suck Like.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: The dancing cats are cool, but you know, the naked
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: children not so much.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the dancing cans storking each other maybe not
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: so cool, especially for eight year olds.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, if you saw the images of President
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Trump walking through where was he?
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: He said, an auto planted autoplant?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You the Ford motor autoplant? Thanks Amy, he walked by,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and I guess someone said something and he flipped them off. Well,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the guy who said something got suspended, and so people
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: did a GoFundMe page. What the hell's would go fundme pages? Yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars, eight hundred thousand dollars. But listen to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: this screen was TJ Sabula. What a what a guy?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: He said, Hey, thanks for all your support, but he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: shut them down and said there's other charity out there
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: that needs your money, not me. I thought that was
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: class move.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: What this guy did was scream something about Epstein to
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the President as the President is walking on the catwalk,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: about protecting pedal and yeah, he called him, you protect pedophiles,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and Trump screamed, I we didn't know what he said,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: but flipped him the bird, flipped him the finger, which
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: of course got insane coverage, and of course MAGA and
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the White House saying that that's just the President being president,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: he's real and et cetera. Now I have a question, Uh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the union members of these ford plants actually put the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: President in the White House, that was a big, big
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: part of his vote. I don't know how they're going
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: to feel about the President flipping off a union member,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and no idea if he's going to piss off the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And I don't know.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Not everybody in the union supported Trump. He had union backing.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: He did this guy obviously didn't.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but usually usually the union's go Democrat, almost always yes,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: And in this case they flipped and supported Trump, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: he flips off the union member. So I have no
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: idea whether it means nothing to me. It means nothing.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's okay, so what. But everything he does
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: is political, Everything anybody does is political.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: One is the loneliest highway that we've ever seen. It's
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: been shut down through a big surf for the last
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: three years, but guess what it is finally reopen. Highway
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: one was first closed in twenty twenty three. We had
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: a bunch of atmospheric rivers go through that sparked a
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: landslide or triggered a landslide, and then a second winner
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: of drenching storms triggered more landslides, and a big chunk
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: of the highway has been buried under three hundred thousand
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: cubic yards of dirt, rock and debris. But that has
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: been cleared and the two lane highway is completely open
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: again for the drive between one hundred miles between Carmel
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: and Gas.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: That's good news.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And drivers have to when they do, they have to
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: get Boulder and Boulder to make that drive.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: You know that. Okay, I think we can do another one.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, did you do your book? Remove its appendix?
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: All right? Moving forward?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: So could you imagine being on a flight, a long flight,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and then they have to turn the flight around because
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you're sick. Now, imagine if you're in the space station
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and you have to turn everything around. You've got an
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: ailing astronaut. God speeds that they are okay, return to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Earth with three others yesterday or actually this morning, I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: guess it would have been at what last I gotcha.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So they're coming back from their space station mission about
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a month or so early.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: They splashed down in San Diego. Was there a boom
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: last night?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Some were saying that southern California might be able to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: hear the sonic boom when they re entry or the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: boom when they re entry re enter rather and you
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: could see it. It was like a slow a slow media
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you're right, or something coming to Earth.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: And when they had to remove first time the ISS
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: ever had an emergency removal of asters, and they don't.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: They won't tell us how sick the astronaut was or
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: what the what the ailment was. Now, I don't know
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: if you've ever read or heard astronauts talking about those capsules.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: When they're there for days or hours at a time,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: about half the astronauts get motion sickness, uh in weightless
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and I have read there are yeah, and there is
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: nothing like vomit in a weightless atmosphere, flying around the capsule.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a pleasant it's a very pleasant way
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: to go. I thought they were looking for people who
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: don't have the like it happens, It happens. They it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: you really don't know until you're weightless and up this
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: guy and we're up in space. Okay, we're done, guys.
