• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Popeye on.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I don't get that. If that went right past.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Me, Neil Well, I had to switch because I was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: originally going to say Peter Griffin, but I knew you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get that one, so I switched to Popeye.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But also true, he didn't get either of those.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And lastly, and certainly possibly maybe sort of leasely, there's Anne.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Anne's not even saying a word nothing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: She was just about to go topless for this show
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and you've ruined it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Bill doing my part and nothing, nothing from you. I'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: tell you.

  Speaker 2: The only person on the show that is that we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I would appreciate going top it's really topless is Michelle Michelle.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: As you know, believe me, we've talked about this before.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Michelle has gone public with this. I'm not shaming her.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Michelle is Michelle, all right, And when she was on
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the show for twenty five years as the producer, that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: often came up, and she herself would in fact noted,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and you're know how we have promo pictures.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: We don't anymore.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there used to be when everybody on the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: show had promo pictures. Neil remember those days? Oh yeah, yeah, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of course those days are gone. And with Michelle, everybody
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: had their picture and it would say mornings KFI AM
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: six forty and the Times. And for Michelle, all we
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: had was a photo of the Grand Teton Mountains and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: she would sign.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Them the photos.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was not the Grand Teetons themselves, No, no, Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Michelle has been blessed with very large winnebagos and she's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: very and she is very proud of that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You know, she once flashed at an Able Angels game
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and got thrown out immediately.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Well it covered. She was pretty she.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Was pretty drunk.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, enough of that, all right, right, a little bit
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of inside base ooh, inside baseball at an Angel's game. O. Hmmm,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: very strong and sound like Amy. Now, no, Amy does
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: these great openings. I love these puns and statements. Amy,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you're very very good at those when you do a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: story on the news. Matter of fact, why don't we
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: do stories on the news. It is time for a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: handle on the news with Amy, Neil and me. Late
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: story tell Straight of Horror Moves has gotten a little
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: bit straighter.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: The President says that the US will become guardian of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the it's going to be under our control. And the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: way we're going to pay for the control, which of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: course has to be militarily, is the US will charge
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a rate of twenty percent on all cargo shipped and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: reimbursed at that rate. I don't know quite how they
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: get twenty percent. Maybe it is the price of oil
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on the day that the Strait of hor Moves is
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: passed or is used by these cargo ships, and certainly
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: oil will be that you can charge because it's the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: value at that day in charge twenty percent. So you've
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: got two million barrels of oil typically on one of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: these giant tankers, and I saw a news story yesterday
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that would be thirty four million dollars per tanker. Now
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: what I don't know, other than oil, how do they
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: determine twenty percent of the value of a cargo.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, widgets, the price of widgets. I know
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: people are just gonna say that one's empty. By the way, Bill,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as a fellow punster, you missed a great opportunity at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that headline. The world is not gay about the Strait
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of Horror moves.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, very strong, that's true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And don't look at me, don't you dare? Yeah, yeah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you're saying.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And so the United States that Pete Hexeth and others
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: have said we control the Strait of Horror moves. Well,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Iran just said we're stopping yet. That's it. We're closing
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it down. But wait a minute, we the United States
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: controls it. Nope, how about that? And Iran can and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: does close it. It is closed right now. I mean,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the war is heating up, and price of oil has
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: spiked ten percent yesterday because of what's going on.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: All right, one more and then we'll take a break.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Uh. Several states say they're trying to save the Industryttorney
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: General Rob Bonte is leading twelve states, including California, New York, Washington,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: with a lawsuit to block Paramounts one hundred eleven billion
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: dollar merger with Warner Brothers Discovery. The lawsuit says the
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: deal would hurt movie theaters. It would damage the competitive
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: market for distributing movies, including blockbusters that bring in a
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: lot of money and a lot of money for the studios.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: The lawsuit also claims the deal would give the combined
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: company anti competitive power over the market for distributing basic
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: TV channels like CNN. They say in the lawsuit the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: merger will end competition permanently.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to do this story coming up at
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: seven o'clock, but my favorite response is a paramount saying
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: buy us buying the Warner Discovery. That's going to increase competition.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: They actually said that taking a company in burging it
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: with another company is could for competition.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Explain that one to me, would you please?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: All Right? Lindsey Graham, as we know, passed away and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: his sister has been appointed to finish his Senate terms,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So Darlene Graham Nordowne will finish out his Senate term
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: after the death of mister Graham this past Saturday. She
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: accepted the appointment, saying that it would be a privilege
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to get to finish some of her brother's work over
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the next several months.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Which is not undifficult. She's a placeholder.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: The election happens, well, the general in November, there'll be
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a snap election to see who is going to be
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the Republican nominee. And so it makes sense. And as
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: we know, he died of a ruptured or a terror
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in his a order because of high blood pressure sure
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and some other cardiovascular disease which occasionally happens. And when
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you're a ortigos boy, that tappens pretty quickly, say the least.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that cash Mattel is ordering the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: FBI to investigate. And my question is, how do the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Democrats cause a ordered tear?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Can't wait for that one, can you?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I could do it how I'll punch you right in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the heart.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think that it doesn't cause any or tear.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The way I do it, it does, right, I mean
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll stop your heart. I'm going to knock that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: pig valve right out of your mouth.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: That you can do. But the old day or the tear, you.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Know, Russians know how to do it. They can do anything. Yes,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: stick you with the tip of an umbrella in your toes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: It's true. With uh, what is it racing? Is that?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: What it's called.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Pete's trying to plug those leaks. The Department
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: of Defense and the Justice Department have created a joint
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: task force to identify and prosecute individuals who are sharing
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: sensitive information with the media. Defense Secretary Pete Haegsas says
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the new task force will help the Pentagon investigate leaks
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: more quickly and thoroughly, and anyone who improperly shares that
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: confidential to classified information, as he put it, will be
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: met with the full force of the law. He said,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: leaked information risks.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Lives already on the books. It is a crime to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: leak information.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: That still happens.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, it'll always happen, of course.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I mean they're trying to get more, trying to figure
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: out how to strengthen the security. The big thing is
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the investigation of Air Force one and how the President
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: had to fly back from Europe on the old Air
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Force one and somehow when that leaked, that became a
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: national security issue. Maybe it does say that the new
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Air Force one doesn't have the security features. Yeah, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: guess you could argue that anyway.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Oh good luck.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, when they hauled the reporters in, where
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: did you get your information.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's going to happen.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Back to court. President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the IRS
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: over his leaked tax returns was filed for an improper purpose.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'll have to explain that it, judge said Monday, as
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: she referred one of his lawyers for potential disciplinary action
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and characterized the ten billion dollar complaint as an exercise
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in self dealing. So the judge did stop short explicitly
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: avoiding the deal shielding Trump from tax scrutiny, but said
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that the government government cannot claim in official proceedings that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the agreement was the result of a legitimate legal process.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: A couple of things about that lawful. This is a
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: lower judge and district court judge, so of course it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: going to be appealed. Second of all, the judge said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. You file a lawsuit. You are the president.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: You file a lawsuit against the IRS, of which you control,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and the deal is cut which the IRS does not
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: argue the other side at all. Sure will give you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: what you demand. That you and your family or your
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: businesses cannot be audited at all up to now. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the ten billion dollars was that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: all they walk away from that amy already. And then
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: this fund, of course, the one point seven to six
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: billion dollar fund.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: They've walked away from that fund, the one point seven
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: to seven six billion dollar fund. And they said, fine,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we're not going to try to reimburse.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: People, okay, And how about that ten billion dollars to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: pay the president?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Is that's still up in the air.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Well, that was the complaint. He was suing for that,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: and they settled it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: No, I understand did they settle it for the ten
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: billion dollars or is is it just the one point
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: eight billion dollars that was removed and is the only
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: thing left the non prosecution settlement? And you can't you
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: can't settle with yourself. That's what the that's what the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: court said.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: One of the rules of the court.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You have to have a legitimate adversarial relationship. You can't
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: have both people walk into court and sue and have
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: everybody agree.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: That's called a settlement, right.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: So the settlement was that he dropped the ten billion
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: dollar lawsuit in exchange for the one point seven seven
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: six billion dollar fund and the tax protections.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was completing them. That's that's correct. And the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: court said you can't do that. You sue yourself. You
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: agree to this fund with yourself, and it's no, Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. Wouldn't it be great if you
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: control the irs and you sue, and then the ir
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: S says, I'll tell you what, we'll settle that we're
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: never gonna we're never gonna audit you, but we'll let
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you take money out of the federal federal coffers. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you're the president, you control that money exactly. So the
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: court said, well, who didn't think this was self dealing?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Of course it was self dealing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: On its face. I mean, they din'tven pretend it was
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the self dealing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And of course the government said okay, because Trump said
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: okay to his demand.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: May have been mistaken identity, but an Immigration and Customs
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Enforcement agent in Maine has shot and killed a man
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: in his car on Monday. The Department of Homeland Security
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: said that the man was in the country illegally and
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: attempted to flee the scene when an ICE agent tried
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: to stop him in Biddeford, Maine, early yesterday morning. They
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: said that he was shot because the officer feared for
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: public safety.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that he had weaponized his car, which I'm assuming
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: is he was trying to run over people. And at
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: first the statement was that he was the target of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the chase or target of the operation, and then they
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: came back twelve hours later and said no, no, he
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't the target. I think ICE is going to be
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: in a lot of trouble on this. Amy have we
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and no body camps?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: No, they did not have body camps. And it turns
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: out that the man killed was a Colombian man who
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: was here legally. They were going after somebody that they
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: said had the last known address of an illegal alien
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: with a final order for removal, so they might have
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: just after the wrong person.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a given.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Now the question is taking the car and weaponizing Yet
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: was he trying to run over people? Was he targeting
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: ICE agents or someone else? And I wish we don't.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen video of it yet.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Encounter ConA just said in my ear that there is
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: video footage from a security camera camera somewhere in the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: vicinity apparently, but I've not seen it either.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: So we're going to see.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: We're going to see if remember the two the two
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: incidents that happened, one with that woman and I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: it was Minneapolis and one with that man who was shot,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and they came out and talked about weaponization and he
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: pulled out a gun and he had a gun, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: he never pulled it out, and he was just it's crazy.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Ice is not doing themselves any favor. This used to
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: be a strong point for the President Ice. Now it
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: has gone the other way.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's strange. Thing is Mexico came out and was
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: pissed and now he's Colombian. So does Mexico just stand
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: down at this point? No?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I think there they continue to be angry.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Ah, the Texas guy got it. Thanks Conna. All right,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: this is disgusting if true. Pasadena Luxury Hotel Corporation, Langham
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Hotels Pacific. Oh yeah, this is serious, upper crust hotel lovely.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But they're being accused. Oh well, I guess they're guilty
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: at this point. If they've got to.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Pay, they've settled. They did not admit guilty, gotcha.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, they never admit guilt.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Ever, for three hundred and twenty thousand dollars, they settled
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit alleging unfairly raised prices on guests in the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: wake of the Eaton fire last year. Now, the company
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: didn't admit any wrongdoing here about that settlement, as Bill
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and Amy said, But we do have a law here
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: in California says you can't add more than ten percent
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: from your normal posted rates during any sort of natural disaster.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: This could be for water, this could be for a hotel,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: this could be for anything. And they said ahead, they
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: A quick word about not admitting guilt. They have to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: not admit guilt because once they admit guilt, then anybody
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: suing them outside of the government.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Let's say you have.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: An individual who alleges that he or she was overcharged.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You have the organization say, yeah, we're guilty of it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Cases over it's done now with just how much money.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: So you can see how they can't admit guilt because
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: it's over for them with any lawsuit because the first
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: thing you put on the stands an executive for Langham,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: didn't you admit that you did this?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: How do you have any argument against that. That's why
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: they don't. That's why they don't admit to wrongdoing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I'm okay trying to find out how much they are Yeah,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: how much you have increased rates? Because ten percent that threshold.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: But I mean, did they raise rates by fifty percent?
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Like we just had a guy convicted for raising rental
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: forty percent after the fires.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Now people stay at the Langham depending on that. People
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: have a lot of money who stay at the Langham.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It is a very pricey hotel. There's a Langham in London,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: for example, where it's one thousand dollars a night, So
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it's you know, people have that kind of money.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Do they care?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't stay at a thousand dollars
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a night hotel rooms.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I had some shaking near the San Andreas Vault. Back
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: to back earthquakes rumbled north of La Two of California's
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: most significant faults were shaking, including the San Andreas. A
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: magnitude four point one hit at three point thirty eight
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: a m. Sunday, just outside Fraser Park that's near the Grapevine.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Then a magnitude four point three hit at nine forty
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: a m. Yesterday. The epicenter was in the Mahabby Desert.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Weak shaking was felt as far away as Los Angeles,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Victorville and Santa Claritas, and Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: The Fraser earthquake, according to the USGS, was probably on
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the San Andres.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: We're so due for a major quake here in southward
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: California along the Sandreas Fall. This is the teutonic plates
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that meet, and when they sort of slipped past each other,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there comes the earthquake.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: And it ain't fun.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: We've had some good ones and we're gonna Yeah, we're
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: way overdue for the big one.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: How come I've been hearing this since I was in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: grade school because it's.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Still way overdue geologically. It's just a moment in time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: That's profound.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is profound.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So is Angel's gas. That's all right, all right, thank
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you for So people are betting against Trump, at least
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the market is Oil surges most since twenty twenty, but
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: they're looking at the US government stockpile of crude has
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: been drawn down to its lowest level since nineteen eighty three,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and this renewed fight fighting with Trump and the strait
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of hormuse has pushed crude futures up. So people are
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: looking obviously in the future of what's going on and
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this fight going on with Trump's announcement that he is
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: reimposing the US blockade in Iranian of Iranian ships and
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: all of that, and saying he's going to bob the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: hell out of him obviously makes people nervous and the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: price go up.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That's what happens. The United States is saying the Straight
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of Horror moves, we control it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Iran says Straight of America, Bill, Straight of America.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Straight of America. Whether straight of it's the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Trump job in mind, that's straight up the Trumps, that's true.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: And so we're the war is happening.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you see, and the SATs are not getting back together.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: University of California Admissions board has voted to rescind efforts
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: to reconsider whether to resume SAT and Act requirements for admissions.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Remember they pulled him a few years ago, I think
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: it was during the pandemic. But on a meeting or
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: at a meeting on Friday, the board said no, let's
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: let's not reconsider that right now, and then all of
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: the links on their website explaining what they were planning
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: to do disappeared.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And why is this so controversial? Because the argument is
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the SAT and the.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Written and the.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Multiple choice is skewed against people of color, and.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Do you know they it doesn't say.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say when I took the when I took
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the bar, exactly the same argument because a number of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: African Americans who passed the bar was minuscule. Number of
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: people who took the bar was miniscule, and the argument
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: was to rewrite the bar that lasted thirty seconds where
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the bar folks the state bar said no, you're dreaming,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: We're not going to do that. And I think you're
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: saying the same thing, except the UC system is caving
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and I don't know. I have no idea how the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: bar can be rewritten in terms of viewing it as
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: one color or another, or poor people have a rougher
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: time with the bar.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, poor people have a rougher.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Time with any academic endeavor because they don't have tutors,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: because they don't get the same education, because inner city
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: schools aren't as good that they don't test as well.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: So you know, you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Can't even out the playing field without going communists, which
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: everybody gets the same education, everybody makes the same money.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: The state owns everything, and you work for the state.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: What about beneficial reparations? How come everybody always goes straight
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to money. Why not education? Why not free education? Well,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: there's an argument there too. It's a huge argument. I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: think I think that should have been a no brain
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: brain or bring it up. If you've been pushed behind,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: then push.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: For Now let me ask you case still.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Do you still believe that people of minority are pushed
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: behind in education?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Uh? And uh the let's say the work the work world.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I would argue, it's the other way to
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: even it out that's been going on. All right, let's
• 26:16
