• 2:59
  Speaker 2: world the shouting. But he's going in for his physical
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: exam this morning, his annual physical exam.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: CNN's got his breaking news. Trump arrives at Walter Reed
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: breaking news.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: The doctors I know last year just to tell him
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: he's hugely perfect. Yes, exactly what was last year?
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Ever?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, last year his doctor said he is the fittest
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: president we've ever had, and I think this year is
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: probably going to be he is the fittest American that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: we have in the country. And then the last one, uh,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: his last physical, he will be the fittest man in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the world. So two hundred and twenty four pounds, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: he's a little bit overweight. But he's big too. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: think he's sixty three, isn't he.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Oh he's a tall guy.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's a big guy. He's pretty tall.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: But there's no way he's what did you say to what?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Two twenty four is what they're saying, don't we wait?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He's two twenty four.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Six two six four whatever, two hundred and twenty four pounds.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, two hundred and twenty four pounds is
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a thigh and they, yeah, all right, so much for that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Oh no, he's not slim, but he is the fittest president.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: You saw a president Obama pretty thin, you know, pretty
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: wiry and pretty physical. And you have seen the video
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of him playing basketball. Obama, I mean he's pretty good.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Now can you imagine Donald Trump playing basketball in shorts
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and in jersey w like you know, his seat oh
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: wa was unbelievable. He would run I mean, he would
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: run ten twelve miles. Today the Secret Service guys in
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: their twenties couldn't keep up with him, and he was
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in his fifties.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So there, let's say that there may have been
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: presidents that were a touch more in shape than Donald Trump.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I can't even imagine Trump bowling.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: He doesn't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He golfs golf.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he does golf.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: He does golf.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, a golf cart, yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Richard Nixon, Richard Nixon, Richard Nixon Bold.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: That's about bowling alley in the White House, didn't he did?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two lanes. He put a bowling alley and he's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the one, uh.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: Dare he put a bully all Lloyd approval that I
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: think Wichard Nixon is that the situation room was put
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: into place that because that was where the swimming pool was,
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: where the White House press room, where the swimming pool was.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: John F.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Kennedy had the swimming pool where he would swim naked
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: with uh guests of his usually twenty year olds with
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: big bazooms. Okay, I think we're ready to go, guys, Yes, no, yes,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: time for handle on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: The news with.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Amy neil Me lead story. Well, at the risk of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that catastrophic explosion in a chemical plant, I think in Hawthorne,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Hawthorne is or.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: A garden grove is over the risk of the explosion.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But still, as Amy reported this morning, I think the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: sixteen thousand of fifty thousand are now evacuated. The rest
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: are not, and it would Disneyland was only four miles away.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine them now having methyl meth
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the cry late land. Okay, there's not much more to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: say other than the big risk is over and had
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it exploded, that would have been a disaster because this
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: is a very very toxic chemical.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: So hats off to the first responders who kept it
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: from happening.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I think they're called firemen or firefires fighters.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that's basically Yet there was just a.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Lot of water being poured on it, and I wonder
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: if employees went in there do valves and things home?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: No idea. Okay, enough of that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Not on offense. US Central Command said it conducted self
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: defense strikes in Southern Iran. Captain Tim Hawkins is a
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: spokesperson for Sentcom and said they were carried out to
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. Those
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: targets included some missile launch sites in southern Iran and
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: also some Iranian boats trying to put mines in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Straight of horm Moves.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean, think of this.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Once the Straight of hor Moves opens up, I mean,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: there'll be some kind of a deal cut with the Iranians.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: There has to be.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And so one of the first things going to happen
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: is the Straight of Hormones are going to open up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Just to get rid of the mines is going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: take probably weeks. And then you have the ships. People
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: think that as soon as the strait is going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: be opened up, oh boy, the ships start coming through
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that's not the case, because you have the ships that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are reluctant because of the mines, and you have insurance
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: companies that ensure the ships that are saying, wait a minute,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: so it's gonna take a lot longer than would people think. Okay,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: so one more and we'll take our break.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Benveninos.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum said just yesterday her government is
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: all for the Iranian national soccer team to stay in
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Mexico during the World Cup. She says, we have no
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: because we want we don't want to host them here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Well, they're playing, going to play, we just can't can't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: host them. So I think they're going to just camp
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: out in Tijuana, Tijuana, and they will then be I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: assume bust up to that's the US seed, bust up
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to play the game and then brought back down to Mexico.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering how the audience, the fans are going to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: treat the Iranian team. I'm hoping they treat them well
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and don't put the politics and the war in the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: middle of watching a soccer game a World Cup.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I think don't you think they will?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, I hope, yeah, I know, I hope so.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: But then look when the hostages were taken during if
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you remember, was it during the revolution, when Iran came over,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It was not good to be an Iranian. When Suddam
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Hussein did his crazy stuff, it was not good to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: be iraqis the United States, the people of the United
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: States do not treat those folks well, or havn't historically.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it'll be better this time around.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: All right, the Magnifica humaney, I don't know if I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: pronouncing that right. Pop Leo has called for stronger regulation
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: and a slower pace of artificial intelligence advantage. It's in
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: that Magnifica Human intest. It's a theological document released yesterday
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: warning that technology is fueling and normalizing conflict around the world.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Leo warned that AI should not be concentrated in the
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: hands of only a few, and also called for disarming AI.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is really interesting.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: This is an encyclical, which is something that Pope's release.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And they're big deals in the Catholic religion. And I'll
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: explain that coming up at seven thirty. And Okay, I
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: was just about to make a joke about pote Leo
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in Japan, but I'm not going to. Okay, see I edited,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: self edited. Okay, thank you very much. Fortunately now I'm curious.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: But AnyWho, all right, yeah, so, you know, doing the
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Fork Report on Saturday, as a story came out about
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: the gunfire at the White House and apparently a bystander
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: was struck by the gunfire after that man fired at
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: the checkpoint outside the White House. The individual that was
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: doing the shooting was fatally shot. But also there was
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: this person who was shot as well. They're not really
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: saying much said the bystander not identified suffered a gunshot
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: women described as non life threatening, but it doesn't describe
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: how the person was shot, who they are, any of that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And the President is using that as an example of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: why we should spend taxpayers to spend a billion dollars
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: on the security of the new ballroom, although when you figure,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know, with the current security, seems it seems like
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: it worked.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how the ballroom would have change.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I don't either. I don't either, but hey, who knows.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I think that's one of the points as
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the President is scrambling to as a matter of fact,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: justify the ballroom, which is going to happen, and will
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it be a billion dollar spent on it? It will?
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: A hack from half a world away. Apparently, Iranian hackers
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: were responsible for a computer breach in March that forced
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: LA's transit system to shut down parts of its network.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Israeli researchers say they've traced this and show that saboteurs
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: stole at least seven hundred gigabytes of emails, backups, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: other files from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Their trail of evidence led them back to Tehran and
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: a hacking group there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, question, whenever you have a hack where such an
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: enormous amount of information is stolen, how do they do
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it with just parts of the system and not other
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: parts of the system, different programs? Is it because security
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: one part of it is more secure than the other,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Because I would have thought that once you hack into it,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you get all the information you know you can stop.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: But cold kind.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Of imagine it more like a building. You can break
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: into the first door of the building and then there
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: can still be multiple doors with different security throughout the building.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my question.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So effectively, it is its segregated, these various programs that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: run even a single organization, they're segregated.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, either by security or by design, like just happenstance,
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: oil plummets, so Secretary of State Marco Rubio Little Marco
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: said yesterday that the US could have some news to announce,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: maybe even today, didn't come out yet, but a deal
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: with Iran, which would be a big deal. He reiterated
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: President Trump's remarks about not being in a hurry.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: We're still in play.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: But yeah, this affected oil prices plummeting, global stocks soaring.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: So we'll see how it plays out. Because you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: we haven't heard anything back from what I know from Iran.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: We're getting different stories. How unusual in what is going on.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Iran saying one thing, the US is saying something else,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: although both sides have said we are moving in the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: right direction. And anytime even that is uttered, the stock
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: market reacts and the price of oil goes down or
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: goes up. And you've noticed that there really is no
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: timeline anymore it used to be. If Iran doesn't come
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to the table, doesn't stop its nuclear enrichment, you've got
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: until Wednesday night. You have okay, Wednesday past, you have
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: until Friday night. Okay, you have until Saturday afternoon at
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: two o'clock. Okay, maybe it's next week. Timelines are gone,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and now is simply a question of if Iran doesn't
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: come to the table soon, this thing is going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: blow up.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: In the contrary on this story, it said, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: the reiteration was that President Donald Trump's remarks about not
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: being in a hurry.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is very strange because they're pushing the fact
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: that talks are happening right now. So yeah, I don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: get it. We've gone from hurry to not hurry to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: what is going on. There were some attacks that the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: US just made over the last couple of days and
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: attacking certain what command control I think ships that were
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: going out, small ships, those a little what looks like
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: fishing ships, fishing boats, delaying mines, any major boat. I mean,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the navy, as per President Trump, has effectively been decimated,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: which is true. So now it's still way up in
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the air, but anything, Yeah, piece is here. Boom. Oil
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: goes down dramatically. We're near piece. Oil goes down, Okay,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: we're not near peace. Oil prices go up, so right now,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: they've dropped what they're under one hundred dollars.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: The futures before the stock market opens in a couple
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: of minutes. They're saying crude oil is at ninety two
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: to ninety one a barrel.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's that's fairly low.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: That's ten percent down from it was what one hundred
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and three hundred and four.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Just a week ago. Okay?
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Could the Big Easy be the next Atlantis? Maybe? Coastal
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Louisiana apparently faces sea level rise of ten to twenty
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: three feet, according to an analysis published in May and
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: the Journal's Nature Sustainability, the impacts will be bleak. According
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: to the journal, seventy five percent of the remaining wetlands
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: around Louisia around the Big Easy will be lost. The
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: shoreline could retreat inland up to sixty two miles. They
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: say the region has crossed the point of no return,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: and the analysts are saying that New Orleans should start
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: the relocation process to avoid chaos.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, it's not all bad. If you are
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: in the diving business, like selling scuba gear, You're going
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to do just fine. It's not the end of the world,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: is it. Can you imagine New Orleans disappearing, Well, what
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: is it? What is it? The ninth Ward? What's the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: lower ninth Ward has disappeared? And I think is that
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: when Katrina hit and you still have when you look
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: at the population of New Orleans, which was what hundred
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and sixty thousand people, that's half of what it used
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to be before Katrina.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: The big c Z. Yeah, Hey, why do we build
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: in places like that?
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Which is crazy?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because we're nuts. Because people like it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: There is I don't know, and there's flood insurance that
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: they buy FEMA and then they rebuild and rebuild and
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: rebuild along the Mississippi thinking that the the levies are
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: going to hold. It's a Jewish family that puts up Yeah, okay, Jewish, Yes,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that's true. Think of all the cemeteries too that happen, Well,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they don't have cemeteries there. They keep their bodies above ground,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: right in to a cemetery in New Orleans.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: It's kind of neat you look at and floating.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Remember during the flooding from the hurricane, they were floating.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're beautiful though they are. What's kind of neat
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: that by yourself? The ones that are the family crips
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and you can look in and there are the coffins
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: that are lined up on shelves, and some of them
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: are three hundred years old. Pretty neat if you like
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: dead bodies in three hundred year old coffins.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: All right, if you're planning a trip to Yozamite National Park,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: you maybe want to rethink that because Yusemite is packed.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: This year.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: So far, Yusemite has recorded nearly one hundred thousand more
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: visitors than the same point last year. They're saying it's
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: very chaotic out there. Obviously this weekend was a big one.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Parking all kinds of problems. And this all has to
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: do partly by the reservation system ending, so a lot
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: of people.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: If you go in.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I remember going to Yosemite probably forty years ago and
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you couldn't find parking there. You drive into Yosemite, there
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: is no place you can put your car, no place.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: One hundred thousand people more are coming in. This is crazy. Yeah,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit crowded Yosemite just to say the least.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's no fun either.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: It really isn't down but not out. Republican Representative Thomas
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Massey has filed to run for his Kentucky House seat
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: in twenty twenty eight. This comes less than a week
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: after he lost a primary fight against a challenger backed
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: by President Trump. Former Navy seal ed Gallrain successfully ousted
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Massey in the primary. Trump repeatedly railed against Massey, who's
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: broken with the President on several high profile issues in
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: recent months, including the congressional effort to force Trump to
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: release the federal government's fire files on Jeffrey Epstein.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what's going to happen if he does go
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: ahead and file as an independent? That gives whoever the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Democrat is a huge advant advantage because you're going to
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: see the vote split between Elga rain And and Massy,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: And so you whenever you have, that's what's going to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: kill the governor's race. For example, here in California, two
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Republicans and five Democrats all cannibalizing each other. So that's
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it for the sake of the Republican Party. I'll bet
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you there are plenty of people telling MASSI, do not file,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: do not file, do not run, do not run.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, he's not running till twenty twenty eight.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's the same. That's true. That's true.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: And Trump leaves office in twenty twenty eight.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Trump is still going to be the king maker.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Trump will have more influence as a kingmaker than anybody
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: in the party, than any president, than any head of
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the committee, the National Committee. He it will be his chosen,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: his chosen politician that is going to run in the Republicans,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: and he's going to get it. Okay, let's finish up
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: with handle on the news, Amy Neil, who is gone
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: next Tuesday. He's going to have his stomach stapled. He'll
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: be gone for a week. You will not have a stomach.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Tie my guts in a knot, Yes, yes, sir, all right.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: This is a weird ass story.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: A woman died after being struck by a patio umbrella.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: They had these very strong winds at a lakeside, South
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Carolina restaurant over a Memorial Day weekend. Out there with
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: her husband getting some food, and big gust a wind
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: came in blew the umbrella from the table. It struck
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: the woman in the head and neck, and first responders
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: found the woman completely unresponsive, lacerations on her had her neck,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: and she was pronounced sadly dead at the scene.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: That is a little strange.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just so freakish.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Unless they're supposed to be bolted down or something like that,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: it's just a freak accident.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Strike inside, protests outside. So at a detention center in Newark,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: it's a privately owned one thousand bed facility that ICE
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: has been using. There's a hunger strike inside by detainees.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: They are protesting inside over overcrowded rooms, cold showers, no food,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: extremely cold cells, no blankets, and what a managing attorney
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: and CEO of Nova Law Group says, not sound conditions
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: to live in. So that's going on inside, which is
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: sparked protests outside. Some lawmakers have been arrested. Protesters were
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: blocking unmarked government vehicles and at some point we're part
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: of a skirmish with armed, massed ICE agents outside Delaney Hall.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is down is up, up is down? Left
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is right? Because ICE is saying none of this happens.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: That's not true. Our detainees are being handled very well,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: they have medical care, they have food, they have sanitation facilities,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and we're haating two different stories and which one is
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the truth At this time, I'm poised to think that
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: those outside are telling us more of the truth. Now
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: obviously somewhere in the middle is usually what happens. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's pretty rough inside those ice facilities.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Russia has threatened to launch a brand new wave of
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: systematics strikes, they say, against Kiev, days after carrying out
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: one of its largest attacks on Ukrainian, the Ukrainian capital
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: since the beginning of the war. So they said the
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: new strikes will target decision making centers and command posts.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You think at some point Prutin is going to say,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: maybe this wasn't such a good idea, though it keeps
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: doubly down, doubly down, doub down. If you remember when
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the first launch, when the first invasion happened, of Russia
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: invading Ukraine, Kiv was supposed to fall in three days,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: It was going to be over in a week. Well,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: here we are in year four, and what Russia has
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: already lost three hundred and fifty or four hundred thousand
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: men and they're scrambling there. Economy was in deep, deep
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: trouble except the price of oil went crazy, and so
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: now they've gotten pre eve in terms of the money
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: they get. But is this ever going to end? I
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: don't think he is ever going to back down. Ever,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: this could be Afghanistan for him, as it was for
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: the United States twenty one years we were in Afghanistan.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Look what's headed to DC. Did you have more to
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: say on that building?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: No?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I was about to say, Amy as your okay.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: A section of a fifteen hundred year old giant sequoia
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: that died in the SQF Complex fire in northern California
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: is headed to the Smithsonian. So this ginormous tree was
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: felled for public safety after the fire. They cut it
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: in pieces and part of it's going to go on
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: display at the new California Natural Resources Agency building in Sacramento.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: The other part of it is headed to Washington, d C.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: And will be on display in the Smithsonian Museum. Fifteen
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: hundred years.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Old, well, some of them are two to three thousand
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: years old, and that's the scary part. Okay. A little factoid,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: tell me if I'm right or wrong. The largest Sequoia
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: redwood is the General Sherman in the Sequoia National Forest.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: And we'll see if that is correct or not. An
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: obscure fact that maybe I'm right or wrong on that one,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: and we'll we'll see.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Do see General Sherman in the Sequoia National Park.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Well there you go.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Huh biggest overall fifty two cubic okay, fifty two, five
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: hundred cubic feet, two hundred and seventy five feet tall,
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: thirty six and a half foot base.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: You didn't know that, did you?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: The General Billy Barty Yeah.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, mister obscure fact moves on. So I haven't
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: heard of gk N Aerospace before, have you. Well, now
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: we know what's going on with that, and I'll be
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: talking about that and then oh a thirty, I've got
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: one that is going to be so interesting, and that
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: is how weird our world is in terms of how
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: we perceive our world.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: It's really going to be a good topic.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, we're coming back with GKN Aerospace and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: they own that facility that almost blew up. We'll be
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: back with that kf I am sixty. You've been listening
• 28:29
