  Speaker 4: of books about Disney and Disneyland and Walt Disney. It's

• 2:59
  Speaker 4: You want to have you No, okay, now I've listening
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: to you this story with Joel Largeguard and about shopping
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: for mattresses and how you enjoy shopping for mattresses at
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Costco for example. And I'll tell you the same thing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: And you say you can't try them. Let's talk about
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the stores. You can try them, these showrooms. And I
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: used to do commercials for sleep number I have a
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: whole bunch of them Home Great Bed and they have
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: stores stand alone stores as to sit and sleep, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: a bunch of other locations and various brands, and they say,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: why don't you come and try out the bed. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: here's how you try out the bed. Right, you have
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: a mattress and you have that sort of cover sheet
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: at the bottom so your shoes don't scuff up or
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: dirty the bottom of the mattress and there's no betting
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: on it at all, and the lights are on and
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: people are moving all over the place and you have
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: your clothes on. Now, how do you try out a
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: mattress that way? You really want to try out a mattress?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: You come at night, you bring your pajamas, you bring
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: your bedding, you bring whoever you sleep with, you stoop
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: once or twice, you sleep, and now you've tried out
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the mattress. Short of that, how do you try out
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a mattress with a store full of people in your clothes?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: When's the last time you slept in your clothes in
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: a store? Well, okay, I rest my case. Just want
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: to ruin it for everybody if I possibly can.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Okay, I like the idea of you showing up in
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: your pajamas at night and then I'm going to try
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: the mattress out tonight.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You know, of all the people that would do it,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it probably would be you know.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I can imagine myself doing that and then asking how
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: many of you have a Florida ceiling windows where homeless
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: people can stare in while you're sleeping with.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: The lights on. Hot, Okay, let's do it. Guys.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: We have a lot to cover today and a lot
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: about Rob Reiner and his wife and their son, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: so let's start it with the news. It's time for
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Handle on the News with Amy and just Me or
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: me just no Neil. This morning lead story. Well, not
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that we didn't know this, because the name came out
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: pretty quickly, but the thirty two year old son of
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Rob and Michelle Reiner was arrested. And it's even started
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: with the first news reports that were coming out that
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: certainly they were found in their home dead stab wounds,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: family member may be connected.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And now we find that and it's no surprise.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a logical progression that the son
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: had a history of drug use, sometimes was estranged from
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: his family, lived on property, and they were flying overhead
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: it was at night in the helicopter. Did you notice
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: how big their house was? And this is in Brentwood,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: this is a zillion dollar house, and nobody mentioned, at
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: least the news people didn't mention. Not that it's relevant,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: by the way, that this is a very tony home
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: in a very tony neighborhood, and usually they do mention that,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: but that wasn't particularly important in any case, and then
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the news that and I'd heard that he had actually
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: slit their throats. I don't know, yeah, and I t
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I believe TMZ before I believe
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: almost any other news outlet.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: And it was.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: And then yesterday it was a long list of well
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: of films and how iconic Rob Reiner was in several
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: different genres. He invented, for example, the mockumentary, and he
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: did Harry met Sally and a few good men. If
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: you look at the kinds of movies had he did
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: over the years, I mean, this is a not only prolific,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: but a extraordinarily talented director that can go in many
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: different directions. And then the other part of the story
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: is that lovely owed to Rob Reiner by President Trump,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: where he outdid himself in graciousness, even more so than
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: the usual Trump outburst in which he ripped into Rob
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Reiner and claimed that Reiner's death was a result of
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: the deranged Trump syndrome chests. And then even the Republicans
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: went crazy on this one. A lot of Trump supporters went,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: come on, that's over the top.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, that was it. We're done with the news. What
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: do you want to do for the next.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Hour, maybe some more news.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, why don't we try that?
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: Okay, Chuck went up for the good guys.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: FBI officials say that a plan to attack several LA
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: area businesses on New two Years Eve has been foiled.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: They call it a dangerous, detailed, and already in motion plan.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: First Assistant US Attorney Bill is Saley said at a
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: news conference yesterday that, in his words, we disrupted this
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: They were apparently planning to attack five different locations and
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: explosions planned for you know, right at midnight.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: And described by the US attorney as a radical faction
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: of the Turtle Island Liberation Front called Order of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Black Lotus. First of all, I thought that was a
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Chinese restaurant downtown. The Black Lotus clearly not. And the
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Turtle Island Liberation Front, that's another fun one.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: It's all ways, if it weren't so serious, and they
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: weren't so if they were so close to manufacturing and
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: putting together these bombs, this is absolutely hilarious. I mean,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is like just crazy names like the
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Order of the Boingo.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: That's how that started.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: By the way, it was a name after a If
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, Oingo Boingo was the name of.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Laura and Hardy short just interesting names.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I thought i'd point that out, not that it makes
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: any difference, but then rarely what I say makes any difference.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: All right, let's do another story, if you would.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: They're getting kind of desperate to find this killer. The
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: FBIS offered a fifty thousand dollars reward for information leading
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: to the arrest and conviction of the person who went
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: into Brown University, into the engineering building and shot up
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: a classroom, killing two and injuring nine others. They had
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: initially released some video. They released more video footage yesterday,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: but it and they show who they believe the suspect
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: But they still don't show his face, yeah, because it
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: was covered up. Yet he did have a face mask on.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they saw his eyes and that's it. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: they're still trying to track him down and they will.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: They're very good attracking down these people.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: A tiny new weapon of mass destruction. President Trump has
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a weapon of
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: mass destruction in the Oval Office yesterday, as he signed
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: the order. He said the amount of drugs coming into
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the US by sea has decreased by ninety four percent.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: He said drug flows are a direct military threat to
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the United States.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I means technically, I mean, are they a weapon of
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: mass destruction? He can't argue with his sentiment about how
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: dangerous fentanyl is that you can't, well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: If it kills hundreds of thousands of people.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It kills. Yeah, I'm not arguing that it doesn't.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: But you know, so it was COVID and that wasn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: the mass destruction, although it can be already know when
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: actually purposely brought COVID into the United States, maybe some
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Chinese guy out of a life that's a different story.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So you know, technically, is it a.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Weapon of mass destruction brought in by whom we don't
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: really know at this point, but the cars tell okay,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I mean it's sort of technically okay. You know, in
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: my opinion, the sentiment is right on this, and he's
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: using whatever powers he can to fight fentanyl, which I
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: don't think anybody can argue with.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Another athlete is coming out of retirement. We've heard Philip
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Rivers is coming out. Other people just guess they get
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: out of the game and then they can't stand it,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: so they got to get back. Well, Lindsey Vaughn is
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: returning to downhill racing with her titanium knee, and when
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: she first made that announcement, people were saying, what she doing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: She needs to see a psychologist, she's crazy, she's too old.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: They scoffed at her return to racing at forty one,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: but she dominated the opening speed weekend of the Olympic season,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: won the first downhill by a huge margin, and scored
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: more points than any other ski or over three days
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: of World Cup racing. Her response was that every time
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: you talk bad about me, it just makes me stronger
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: and better and more motivated.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Go, Lindsey go.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: You know what's weird about this story is I'm looking
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: at Austrian skater. He was the one Franz Klamber said
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: that she was completely gone, completely mad. You know, for
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: some crazy reason, I know that Franz Clomber came from Mussvald, Austria.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I just thought i'd throw that out and you can
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: look that up. Who the hell thinks of Mussvald, which
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: is a town of maybe two hundred people.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but I like the name.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I know. That's why I think I remembered it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, moving on, well, Trump fired him, Knewsome hired him.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Two former leaders of the CDC.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Who previously accused the Trump administration of abandoning scientific standards,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: will now work with Governor Newsom and the California Department
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: of Public Health. On Monday, Newsom announced the launch of
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange PHNIX. They call it
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Phoenix at The statewide initiative aims to modernize public health
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: infrastructure and maintain trust in science decision making, science driven
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: decision making.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: God forbid that we actually use now medical science. Can
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: you imagine that real science, real medical science, is now
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: being derided, that that is fake, where pseudoscience becomes real.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about a world that's gone topsy turvy.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: It's just yeah. As I said, we're going to get
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: to the point where, and I believe this that before
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: the end of the administration will be a finding by
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the CDC that vaccines and mod themselves are inherently dangerous
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: and should be banned any kind of vaccine.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: And I do believe that, by the way. Okay, moving on.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Trump wants five billion from the BBC. The president has
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: filed a defamation lawsuit against BBC in Miami federal court.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: The pseud alleges a documentary released by the BBC called
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Trump a Second Chance, was produced as part of a
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the election outcome.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: To President Trump's detriment. It claims that the documentary was
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: edited to make it appear that during his speech outside
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: the White House on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Trump
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the US capital,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: and if you've seen the video, it did.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they agreed by the way, they apologized for it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Just didn't believe that he was defamed. And normally a
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: politician who had been accused like this, especially if nothing
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: had come out of it, would say I'm sorry, I apologize.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't have happened.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: And then the whole thing is dropped and now we
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: have five billion dollars of damages.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: How could he prove damages? Though, like you said, he got.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: That's my point. He won the election.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: What is he going to say, had I lost the
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: election and you're responsible for it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: That's one thing. But he won the election.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: It's it's, for example, you're a mechanic and you've repaired
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: my car and you've done stuff more than I ever wanted,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: and the car is better, and I'm suing you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: It's that's what ends up happening.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I have no idea if that analogy works or not,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: but I think it's maybe a good one.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: All right, I want to get your sexy.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: On sixty, US health officials have expanded the approval of
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: a much debated drug aimed at boosting female libido. They
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: say the once a day pill can now be taken
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: by postmenopausa women up to sixty five years old. Now,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: this was apparently it's called Addie. ADDIEI first approved ten
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: years ago and was supposed to become like a blockbuster
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: drug because you know, ladies might not want some love
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: and after menopause, and this apparently boosts their libido. But
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: then there were some unpleasant side effects like Disney dizzyness
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: and nausea, And there was also a safety warning about
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: the dangers of combining it with alcohol, which is problematic
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: because you know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Daniel doesn't dizzeiness and nausea happen anyway, when you're having
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: sex with a.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Spouse depends on which spouse it is.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: And by the way, originally it was IFH It was
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: known as I'm finally horny is what that stood for.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Getting high? In the US.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: President Trump says the White House is very strongly considering
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: signing an executive order to reschedule marijuana to a lowered
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: drug classification.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: He says, because a lot of people.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Want to see it, and they're talking about reclassifying from
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: a Schedule one to a Schedule three drug.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: And if he does it, which he says he is
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: leaning towards it, and I think he's going to do
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: this it finally he will be the first president to
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: finally reality is here and he's recognizing it. To classify
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: marijuana in the same classification as heroin, LSD meth Amphetamine's
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: kind of nuts, isn't it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: So you know, I think it's going to happen.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: All right, take a breath, everybody. That seems to be
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: the message from the co chief executives of Netflix. They
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: send out a letter yesterday saying, you know what, we
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: can close the deal and it's not going to destroy
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: the entertainment industry. Of course, they're trying to buy Paramount
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Skuidouce No, No, there's prided by Warner Brothers and Paramount
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Skuydowance is also trying to get the deal. But Netflix
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: says that this is going to offer consumers more choice
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: in value and allow the creative community to reach even
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: more audiences with combined distribution. They said that they will
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: still do theatrical releases and that's like one of the
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: big concerns is that if Netflix takes over, movies are
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: going away in theaters.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, how can you have more choice when
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: you have two major content providers merging that is so
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: there's no competition.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's no, that doesn't make any sense.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: So you know, as far as all they care about
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: is talking to number one the government allowing this to
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: happen in the shareholders who are.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Going to be doing very well.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: A point I want to make Amy is we only
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: have fifteen stories, which we normally have fifteen to seventeen stories,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and we are going to go through this unfortunately too quickly,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: So you and I are going to have to vamp
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: at the end of next segment.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to suggest we start moving slow.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Although Ann is very happy because we're going to get
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: through all of the stories.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but so many.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: We're already on story eleven and it's six thirty seven.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: So now we can talk and spend some time talking
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: about how short the segments are going to be relative
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: the number of stories, or we can go through them
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: and we'll vamp.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: At the end of the next segment.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: I haven't decided yet, and we'll discuss it, you and I,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: but we'll do that during the break. See, this is
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: inside Baseball. I'm just sharing how we do these shows.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: And I get a lot of grief and flat for
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: sharing all of this stuff.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: But then, hey, what can I tell you? All Right? So, oh,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: here's a story I'd love to talk about.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: A lawyer getting disbarred is one of my favorite stories.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: And it's Hunter Biden lost his license. The judge on
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Monday disbarred Hunter Biden in Connecticut for violating the state's
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: attorney conduct rules. Apparently complaints came in because he was
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: convicted on federal gun and tax charges before he was
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: pardoned by his dad, President Joe Biden. In an agreement
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: with the state office that disciplines lawyers, Hunter Biden consented
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: to being disbarred, and he admitted to attorney misconduct, but
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: he did not admit to any criminal wrongdoing. He was
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: also disbarred in Washington, d C. Back in May.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, I mean, I want to make a point about
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: attorneys being disbarred. Okay, Number one, it's not that easy
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: to get disbarred. Two, let's find let's let's look into
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: how stupid hunter Biden is. Forget about the criminality part
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: of it, just how stupid he is. He goes out
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: and buys a gun and on the form, it is
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: are you a drug user during this period of time
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: or have you been? Or please explain it? And the
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: only way you're going to be able to buy a
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: gun is saying I'm not a drug user.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Then he writes a book where he admits being a
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: drug user. What at the time he was filling out
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the form that he was not a drug user, he
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: contradicted himself about a gun purchase.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Oops.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, So he should have been disbarred number one for
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: just being stupid. And then the other part of this
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: story is his dad who said, unequivocally or unequivocally no,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I will not pardon him.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: There is no chance.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I think he said this on ABC in an interview
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: while Biden was overseas at a at a D Day celebration,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: and it was said, Nope, not going to do it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do remember the interview where he was
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: so adamant about it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Would you pardon your son? Nope, absolutely not.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: And then of course he turned around and pardoned his son,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: which I would have pardoned my family member too, because
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: you know that the next administration was going to go
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: in and nail anybody associated with Joe Biden in any case,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: because of the fact that he had lied about that,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: and he was convicted of three felonies in the purchase
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: of that gun in twenty eighteen, lied on that federal form.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: He was disbarred for that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, but here's my question.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: If he was pardoned for anything that he did, can't
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: couldn't They argue and say, well, he was pardoned, so
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: there's no there's no nothing it disparred.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: That is a very good argument. That's a very good point.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The problem is is a dispartment disbarment is a civil action.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: It is not a criminal action.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: And so when someone is pardoned federal, the pardon literally
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: goes to the criminal action and accusation or the conviction
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: or the court proceeding is against that person. All the
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: administrative stuff still exists. So the bar is not saying,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: you know, he can't be criminally and that doesn't exist
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: anymore because he's been pardoned. But what it does, it
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: does say that, you know, we feel that what he
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: did prior to the pardon, he still did it, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: so they shook away his license. It's an administrative a
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: move by the state bar. So yeah, you can be
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: bar you can need disbard for that stuff moral and
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: it's a moral you can be disbarred from moral turpitude stuff.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Does he still have? Is he still allowed to practice
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: in other states?
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Because he they say he's If he is licensed in
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: other states, he's allowed to practice.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: However, getting a license in another state.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Is going to be very very difficult, if not impossible,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: because he's been disbarred in those two states.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: And one of the questions is have you been disbarred?
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: And just on that basis alone, even if you passed
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the bar, well, you're crazy to pass the bar or
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: even take the bar. But yeah, he could theoretically be
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: licensed in another state if you had decided to apply
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, remember Luke and Laura, Luke Spencer and Joe Lais
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: last name anyway, it was Anthony Gary and Jeannie Francis
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: and Anthony Geary, who played Luke, has died. He passed
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: away Sunday in Amsterdam. He had apparently had surgery a
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: couple of days before. They haven't said what it was for,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: but he later died from that. And of course Luke
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: and Laura's wedding was one of the most watched TV
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: events ever.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: And now, I'm not a big fan of General Hospital.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I don't watch any or never have watched any of
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: the soaks. But is isn't this one of those relationships
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: that went on.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: For decades, as they all do in soap operas.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, and there's was a very storied one, as most
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: soap operas do.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: The storylines are pretty outrageous, yeah, and.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: People just love the hell out of them.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: So you know how the name soap opera or you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: got started? Well, originally, when television first started, the first
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: advertising was for kitchen products, household products, soaps, and that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: how soap opera And I don't know where the word
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: opera came from, but it was the soaps and at
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: some point I'm going to tell you off the off
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: air what they call the whole concept of it in
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: England and models who used to come to model, especially
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: early days of television, and it's very, very funny. And
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to share with you because I would
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: like to be on the air tomorrow morning.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: And it is.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: It's that terrible Okay, Okay, just thought i'd tell you
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: just to get everybody's interest piqued.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Cono just asked me, what's General Hospital.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Seriously of our lives?
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I know the days of our lives? These are the
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: days of our lives.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a whole bunch of you know, there's the
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: big ones. There's General Hospital Days of our lives. One
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: of my favorite one was the Young and the hung
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: That was a very nope.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Nope, will don't okay, all my children, Yeah that's another one.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: And the beautiful. Yeah, lots of them.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: And I don't know, I don't think they're even on
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: TV anymore. I just I think they stream Are they
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: still on TV?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Are they still on TV? I don't even know. I mean,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: who watches TV anymore?
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: You know it's all streaming.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, moving on, it looks like it was ices inspired.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: That horrendous shooting on Bondai Beach in Sydney, Australia was
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: apparently inspired by, or done by a father and son
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: who were motivated by Islamic state ideology. That's according to
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Australia's leader. They had recently traveled to the Philippines to
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: an area known for Islamist insurgency. The dad was shot.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: The son is apparently still in a coma. He was
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: he was injured. Did you see the video of the
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: guy who who went and wrestled the gun away from
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: your father. Yes, it's amazing. It's it was a football tackle,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: is what it was. And he was shot. He was
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: I think he was shot through the hand. And he's
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: being being touted as a hero as he should. Absolutely,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: and this was he was a fruit vendor, not a
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: particularly wealthy guy. Obviously, all he did was self fruit
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: go fund me campaign as of yesterday raised nine hundred
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: and thirty thousand US dollars and it's and he is
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: rightly going to be getting some money for doing what
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: he did.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Obviously he wasn't thing of doing that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: But the Prime Minister of Australia went there and I
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: think the head of the province went there to to.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Meet with him.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's that is a neat story.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: That is an Assyrian. By the way, an Assyrian born
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: in Syria, so he's an Australian citizen. He came to
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Australia in two thousand and six. But for all those
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: people that are screaming about how you have Arabs who
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: were members of ISIS, this was a man who's a
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Muslim who saved people in a big, big way.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Well, you do have people who are members of ISIS.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I mean that's what these guys were.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, no, no, I'm talking about that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: You're saying you can't blanket and say, yeah, I'm.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Talking about I'm talking about the man who saved all
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: all these other lives by tackling these terrorists.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he was amazing.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: And the other thing that I didn't realize this initially,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: that the shooting was carried out over a half an hour,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Like it wasn't like a lot of the shootings that
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: come in and spray a place with bullets and it's over.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: This was ongoing before they were Well you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Saw the video overhead video you saw I think it
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: was the sun shooting from that overpass that little bridge
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: which has concrete walls on either side, so you can
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: see how he could have shot from there and been
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: protected by the wall. Okay, we're done, guys. This is
