  Speaker 5: Camera a little bit? Oh yeah, good morning?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Oh there you are on the monitor. Hey, good morning,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: all right. Two stories. Story number one. Yesterday I was
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: on a panel that iHeart our cluster was promoting and
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: this was to a bunch of car dealers and which
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the company does that all the time, as major companies
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: does pitch to specific customer base. So there were seven
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: of us, each from a radio station. Valve from whatever
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: the hell station he's on, but I never know who
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: stayed with stations the other people. Yeah that too, okay,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: whatever is my FM one of our stations? Yes, okay,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: thank you for that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: So we're on a panel and everybody is talking about
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: buying a car, and an experience is about recently buying
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: a car. And as you know, last week I bought
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: a car and I ended up buying Alexis.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: And I was explaining in terms of looking for a car.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I said, you know, I've been driving the BMW's now
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: for twenty five years and I just got tired of
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: it and it was time for something new.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: That sounds a lot like my marriage, okay. And then
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I went into talking about buying Alexis.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, So where was the BMW folks there?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, they weren't, but there were
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Alexus dealer or two there, So thank you for that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: And then the last question that was asked by the
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: moderator and we just went down the line is why
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: should advertisers advertise with you? And it went down the
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: line and as legitimately and it was expected. Is because
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: people trust me, because they know I'm behind the product
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: going down the line, because I've been talking to people
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: for so many years and they know what I want
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and I would never misguide them. I would never guide
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: them in the wrong direction. And then it came to me, okay, survey.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Says, what did I say?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, I would know it was clean, everybody says, because
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: people believe in me, because I believe in the product.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: And with my turn, because I really need the money.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: That worked.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: How'd that go over?
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Not well? But I thought it was okay? Okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: The other story I want to share with you is
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I love talking about British politics. And British politics even
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: the prime minister is basically a member of Congress. There
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: members of parliament. It's here, for example, the president is
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: elected separately as a president and the cabinet members are
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: chosen by the president. Well, in England, the prime minister
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: is just a member of Parliament and then chosen by
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the party to become the prime minister, and then the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: prime Minister chooses the cabinet out of the members of Parliament.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: You have to be a member of parliament. And here's
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: what happens. Every time a member of parliament, they have
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: to run again. Even people that are wildly successful. Mark
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: with Thatcher for example, had to run every single time
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: in her district. Now here's what typically happens is that
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: every time a member of Parliament runs, everybody else who
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: is running for that office also has a chance to run.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: It's just a question of signing up.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: And what they do is usually at school auditoriums or
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: union halls or whatever. They're up on the stage, all
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: of them and pitching themselves to the electorate and some
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: really interestings saying happen. There is one very famous politician,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: very left wing, Nigel Farage, who is nationally known and
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: wins all the time, but he's running again. So on
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a radio television show, I'm looking at a photo the
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: moderators is interviewing one of Nigel Farage's opponent opponent, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: it is a guy dressed in a trash can uniform
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: or trash can costume, a trash can on his head,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: big one with you know, a little cutouts for face
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: and ears, or a face and mouth and eyes, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: then the rest of the trash Can comes down and
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: this is Count Binface, who is running against Nigel Farage.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Is a real count, I don't think so we can't
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: tell because he's covered by this trash can. Now a
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Margaret Thatcher story which I've shared before. This was the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Prime Minister of England and one of the most famous
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: leaders world leaders out there. I mean, you know, work
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: with Ronald Reagan and the Falklands War. I mean, this
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: is iron She was one big, big deal. Well, when
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: it's her turn to run again, which she had to
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: because she had to win the election members of members
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: of Parliament, there she is on the stage and everybody
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: else who signed up ran against her. There was the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: guy in the tin Man costume from Wizard of Oz.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: There was the guy in the Abraham Lincoln costume with
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: beard and top hat. It just it's it is hilarious.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I wish we did that, I really do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: We're not far off.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: No, we aren't. It would be fantastic. Okay, enough of that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I just thought i'd share those stories with you and
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: let's do it. It is time for Handle on the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: News with Amy neil Me lead story. Well, the President
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: confirmed the story that he secretly switched planes. We talked
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: about that yesterday when he traveled back from from that
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: summit because of security threats, and the Secret Service said
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: they were legitimate, they were plausible. And so what he did,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: as we explained, is he got on Air Force one,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: the old Air Force one. The new Air Force one
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: that he flew over there had already left and went
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to England, and it was he went there for some
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: and then the reasons he gave were ridiculous that he
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: had to fly an old Air Force one because he
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: decided to send the new one to I think London,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: so the members of our service Armed services there couldture
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: the plane or some crapple like that. And so he's
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: getting on air Force one, the old Air Force one.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: He gets on, he waves to the crowd, gets on,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and then gets off on the other side of the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: plane in a container, a catering truck container, and then
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: it is driven off to the other plane, the seven
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: fifty seven that is no longer Air Force one. They
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: didn't say that to get him out of the country.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: And then he flew out and he went to England
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: and then flew back on Air Force one. So the
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: story is true. We talked about it yesterday as one
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: of those ruses, and I thought it was a great story.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: He confirmed it, he actually did, So there you go,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: just a story, he said, Yep, it happened, and it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: sort of like a you know who done it?
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: One of those spy political thrillers. I kind of like that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: David Ellison may take his ball and go home to
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: a new home. The CEO of Paramount has told his
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: leadership team that he would look to pull the company
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: out of California on October first, if there can't be
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: any progress made towards resolving a lawsuit filed by state
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta. It seeks to
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: block the merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery. Leaving
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: the state, of course, would be the loss of a
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: major Hollywood studio, a big blow to the economy, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: the Attorney General Rob Bontas is threatening to leave the
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: state is basically blackmail.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I have a question, and that is, even if California
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: drops its lawsuit. I remember there are dozens of other
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: attorneys general around the country, at least a dozen they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: also suing to stop the merger. And does he bail
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: out of all of them, because he's not in those states,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: just California. So this is obviously a big political issue
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: on top of money. And does it stop the filming
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: of videos, commercials, films, etc. Here in California? Does it
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: stop the hemorrhaging of it anyway? Because everything is so
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: expensive here in southern California. You go to other states,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: other countries, they give tax rebates, They actually pay money
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: for films to be done in those other countries. Union labor,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: you know, the cost of a union guy or woman
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: who was working in hollyw who is a big chunk
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: of money. They get paid a lot of money. You
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: can go to Croatia, these film companies and for a
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: fraction of the amount of money paid for labor, you
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: can do it there, and they have some pretty skilled people.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: How about New Zealand where you can hire someone for
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: eight dollars an hour who is skilled. They have people
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: there too. Lord of the Rings for example, filmed there.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: So it's a little more complicated than that. And is
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: David Elson going to bail out? You know, I don't know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know, And this all is it has to
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: do of course with that. You drop your case and
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: blunt is right. It is blackmail, but so what so
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: what a private studio can say that you drop either
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: you stop going against us, or we're going to get
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: out of here.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Blackmail.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is pretty much lost the battle in Hollywood Hull.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I think we have hemorry, Yeah, I think I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: we have He's guilty, he's guilty. Not, he's guilty, he's
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: guilty not. The White House seems to not be able
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to make up its mind. Still a little pissed off
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: at the Justice Department. They're trying to get the Justice
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Department to prosecute the man accused of vandalizing the Lincoln
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Memorial reflecting poll even after US Attorney Jeanie Piro has
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: basically went to the judge in surprising detail by the way,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: that the government decided to indict him on a felony
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: charge that was ill informed. She said, the botched renovation,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: as we know now not vandalism, was responsible for the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: reflecting pools problems, and that's not sitting well with the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: prosee man, so he is no.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: He wanted he wanted prosecution to this guy period, because
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: he had insisted it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Was vandalism and it wasn't.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: It was the fact that the contractor completely screwed the
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: pooch on this and pieces of that lining of the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: paint were floating at the top to the top.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Of the Trump came out yesterday, right.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: And yeah, he said, well, yes it was a problem,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: but there was still vandalism. And then is pushing for
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: David Hearn to be prosecuted. Now, the interesting part about
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: this is that Piro goes and says that the Parks
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Department basically screwed her over and gave her the wrong
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: information or gave her false information. The President said, and
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: he ripped into Piro. The President said, she caved, she
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: folded like an umbrella, and it should go forward because quote,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: a highly credible witness saw Hern ripping and tugging at
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the pool's coating.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Now that's enough to go to trial.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: By the way, if you bring someone who says I
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: saw that happen, that's enough to go to trial. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: then the judge of the jury makes the determination. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Piro said, no, we're not going to go to trial.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: We're dropping it. So one of two things happened, political
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: pressure no notice the other way, or there was no
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: highly orse Let's say it was questionable that a highly
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: credible witness was going to go forward. So the President
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: just doesn't want to let go. He just it's vandalism.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: He says, it's vandalism, and even when there really isn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: any proof, he goes, Okay, so maybe the company screwed up,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: but still there was plenty of vandalism, and let's go
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: after this guy because he forcefully put his hand into
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the water.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: That's what Piro said. He pushed his.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Hands into the water forcibly and then screamed at the
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Parks Department, all of which constitutes a felony.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Some texts could spell trouble for doctor Fauci to Senate
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Republicans have released a set of twenty twenty one text
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: messages that show doctor Fauci and other federal health officials
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: talking about how to weigh the potential risks against the
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: benefits of pregnant women getting the COVID nineteen vaccines. The
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: eleven text messages made public on Monday. The messages were
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: between Fauci, Surgeon General nominee nominee Vivek Murthy, and CDC
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: director doctor Rochelle Wilenski, and Fauci, in his text said
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: there's no data or theoretical reason to believe that vaccinating
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: early versus later in pregnancy would be preferred, but then
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: also said they theoretically it could be associated with miscarriage
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: in the first trimester.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: For that second shot.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: It turned out not to be. And so I don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: understand the controversy here. He's questioning it. He says that
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: the COVID vaccine should be given to basically everybody and
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: their dog, and it turned out that for the most part.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: He was right.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: So I don't see the controversy here. I'm missing something.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I really am. Also, you know, keep in mind that
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Senator Ran Paul and Senator Ron Johnson were just are
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: adamant about nailing Fauci under any and all circumstances. Look
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: what happened at that hearing. Anything to get him to
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: say something negative, anything to get him to wave the
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Fifth Amendment?
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: What's the color of your tie? What time is it?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: And he can't even do that because that waves the
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: fifth And so what does what does Johnson say? You see,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: you won't even give us the color of your tie.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: You're such a liar, you know, I mean, stupid. Okay,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: let's do one more.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And Fauci was like I've got to go. I have
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: a lunch with Julia Roberts.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good for him, you know, I mean the point
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: is there isn't There's not much? Yeah no, he just
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: sat there for five hours invoking the fifth over one
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: hundred times.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: All right, because the color of your skin, you will
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: get the glove again. Immigration and Customs Enforcement aka ICE
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: up There's may soon be outfitted with what is referred
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to as the glove generated low output voltage emitter. The
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: glove and UH actually kind of cool technology. The glove
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: can give an UH an electric shock that aids INN.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It's say, they say it's a conductive distraction and de
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: escalation device and I want one, but they.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Will use it to UH to control protesters.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now a one or two yesters necessarily this is for.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, fair enough ICE enforcement.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Now let me tell you I used to pay people
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: to use those gloves on me during certain.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Times and oh touch me there? Okay, all right?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Why don't like this?
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Do they do they subdue people? Do they give you
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: a shock?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: What?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: They give you a shock?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It's listen, they already have tasers in the like. It
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: just sai that it would be more convenient to have
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: them on your hands, and you put them on.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: You choke people with him, you grab them by the gonads,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and they just really comply very quickly, unless you go, hey,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: that was fun.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: The DSA candidate doesn't get the vote. David Crowley has
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: won the Democratic primary in Wisconsin's race for governor, beating
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: out Democratic socialist Francesca Hong. So Crowley had dropped out
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: of the race about a month ago because he just
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: wasn't getting traction, but then he re entered the race
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: days later without going Democratic Governor Tony Evers's endorsement. Hong
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: is that lawmaker, the state lawmaker from Madison, who was
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: leading in the polls but had some very controversial positions,
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: including wanting to get rid of the Senate and also
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: saying that she wanted to cancel Thanksgiving.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a fruitcake, is basically what she is. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: she wants to not just defund the police. She said,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: you wanted to abolish the police. She's nuts, She's out
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: of her mind. Although she did come back and said
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I am a different person now. I am that was
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: a long time ago, three months ago.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: How's that for a long time ago.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, Fruitcake City.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: All right, Okay, California is going to begin phasing out paraquat.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It's a powerful weed killer associated with birth defects, thyroid issues,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: other serious health problems. As a matter of fact, it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: so bad. Paraquad has banned in more than sixty countries
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: due to its toxicity, but still allowed for some reason
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: in the US, and no state uses more than.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: California, California.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the California Department of Pesticide Regulation that they're
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: going to get rid of this stuff.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that birth defects.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, too many of these kids were showing up
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: to try did jobs as what standings for flipper. It
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: just isn't good stuff.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Nice, thank you.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Mail in ballots prevail in court. A federal judge has
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: ruled against President Trump's executive order that sought to create
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: a federal voter list and directly involved the Postal Service
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: in election operations in a way that would limit mail balloting.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: US District Court Judge Indira Talwanne had already halted the
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: order that Trump's signed in March. Tuesday's ruling creates another
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: legal hurdle for the Trump administration to overcome if it
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: gets the initial injunction lifted by the Supreme Court.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he doesn't stop. I mean he wants this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Limiting mail in voting has become like the number one
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: issue to the President, which I don't get because literally,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: how does it affect us? The war in Iran affects
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: us for the price of oil, Well, yeah, that effects.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: It's so important to the president is limiting mail in voting.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, he thinks it is a real not only
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: just the detriment, but a danger to America. And I
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: just think he's missing the boat on this one. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: it may be for him, I think it is that
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: important to him, But you know, I have to tell
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: you, you know, let's look at priorities, all right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: The farm a link to cyclosporiasis. That outbreak hadn't been
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: inspected in seven years. I guess the FDA is lagging
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: big time when it comes to the foreign inspection targets.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: So you've got the FDA conducted just under a thousand
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: foreign food safety inspections in twenty twenty five five. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: the farm in Mexico, this is the one that they
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: believe to be the epicenter there of the ongoing I
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: closedporiasis outbreak in the US was.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Not one of them.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: So they are struggling like everyone else in government right
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: now with you know, costs and budgets and all of
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: those and layoffs and layoffs.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're getting smaller. But seven years. Man, well here
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: look at.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: These stats that they are mandated with carrying out these
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: these farms, these inspections, and less than ten percent of
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: these farms are being inspected.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Last ten years.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, basically it's it's non existent.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: The FDA's response to that, by the way, said the
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: requirement is just unrealistic.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: You know, it probably is, and the only way to
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: do it is lots of training and lots of money.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: But you know there's a lot of a lot of
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: agencies need lots of training, lots of money.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: This is hart you've got to focus on Hello, no
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: pooping on the lettuce.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: And I would argue that this is more important than
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: mail in voting because this is your kid's health. Now
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: we go back to the issue of Flipper, but that
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: is at another point.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: First, the penny, how the nickel might be in trouble.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Oh man, the Senate passed a bill that's already been
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: passed in the House with unanimous consent on Friday. It's
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: called the Common Sense Act ce NTS. It formally calls
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: for the end of penny production, so pennies will still
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: remain legal tender, but then people will be able to
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: round up or round down. And there's still some controversy
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: on how that's all going to play out because it's
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: a lot of money. Under the Common Sense Law, the
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: nickel could also change because apparently the nickel's pretty expensive
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: to produce. It's worth five cents, but it costs thirteen
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: point three to one cents to produce a single nickel.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: So under the new bill, they might redesigned the nickel
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: and make it cheaper to produce, using zinc and nickel
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: instead of seventy five percent coppers is currently used.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: And for the first time I had a round up
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: on something I bought. I was going to get ninety
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: two cents and change, and I got ninety five cents
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: and change.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: So you you scored three cents on that one.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I scored three cents. It wasn't just a round up
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: or round down. They just rounded up and uh or
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: rounded down and gave me the change. So I had
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: not first time. It slawly happened to me once. But
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: it makes a lot of sense. I mean the penny
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: makes no sense at all, means zero. No, it makes
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: no sense. I mean considering pennies and what was this
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: stat that was just incredible billion billion pennies. That's eight
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: hundred pennies for every US citizen and if you count,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: if you count illegal aliens, that's what that's what you
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: pay them of the lawn.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: No, what how much is oh three hundred billion billion?
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but eight hundred that the average person
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: has is eight dollars right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's uh, that's eight hundred of them, isn't it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So if it's three hundred billion pennies out there.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Of we have three hundred and what fifty billion people one?
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I got to do the math on this, Yeah, okay,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Oh here's the story, Neil.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: So dogs know when you're happy or sad?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Oh handles poor dogs are like, oh, that man has
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: no joy. They have found. I don't know why they
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: had to do a study on this. It's pretty obvious
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: that they know the distinguished between emoceans on people's face.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: So the University of Vienna, oh don't they have sausages
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: find their findings. Is that yeah, direct evidence there that
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: the animals can see whether you're happy or sad.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're finding some incredible things about what dogs can do.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's really he now dogs right?
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Uh? Do they know between when I'm smiling and when
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: I'm sad? No?
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Not when I'm drop kicking picked, drop kicking them up
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: against the wall when they've acted out.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: No, they can't tell.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: You have to play with every wiener in your house.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: You bet. And I've got a couple of small ones.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Medically that's very unusual, I understand, but they are my
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: little doxies.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Tommy is he.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Moving oyshe Moisia? Yeah, surely, yeah, I see, okay moving on.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: Is this kind of like giving all the kids a
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: participation trophy to make them feel good? The University of
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Michigan is getting rid of grades for first semester freshman
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: next year. They say they're doing it in an effort
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: to curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college aged individuals.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, or kids.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: If they don't study, they get bad grades and it
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: makes them feel bad.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like they should do that for work, where
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: for the first year of work you can screw up,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: just uncontrollably, but we're not going to fire you because
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: it'll make you feel bad. Uh yeah, I just come on, guys,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: a pacification is it is You're.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Absolutely right, it's it's astounding. It is where we're where
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: we're going.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: And as much as this administration and conservatives want to
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: unwoke this stuff, uh, this still comes out and they're right.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is crazy stuff. And then some really
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: bad news on the cat front.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a horrible story. Los Angeles Animal Shelters
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: recorded this sharp increase in ethan asiansation.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: No you Asians, that's right, it's among Asians. Yeah, they're
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: putting them down.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Bring in someone who is Japanese into the shelter and
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: you go here.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Of cat, cats and kittens through the first six months
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: of the year, so officials tribute in part to a
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: raisin animals brought to the shelters. Nearly nine hundred kittens
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: were euthanized from January through June, up from about six
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: hundred the first six which is a lot from the
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: first six months of the last year. For a forty
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: three percent increase.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: That just makes me so it is sad.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Sad.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: It is sad. I mean, really, alerg I want to
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: take a dozen of them.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: We've gone a long ways in terms of euthanizing animals
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: to the good side because we have huge number of
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: no kill shelters, et cetera.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: But still on the youth, it's going up. The kill
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: rate is going up, but it is horrific.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Although look at it's just a few hundred where it
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: used to be thousands, so it is a different world.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're done, guys.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: A new LAPD report talking about how the cops did
• 28:00
