  Speaker 3: It's going to be a rough day, it really is.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, let's do it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It's time for handle on the news on this Tuesday
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: morning or Thursday morning, July twenty three, Amy, Neil and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: me lead Sorry, What a shocker. The House yesterday passed
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the Defense Policy Bill that incorporates the president's request for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: one point one five trillion dollars in spending for the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: national security and that includes the Department of Defense as
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: oh and changing the name of the Department of Defense
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to the Department of War. Of course, also includes a
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: pay raise five to seven percent for service members and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: man Usually these pass pretty quickly, all right, Not this one,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: two sixteen to two twelve. How's that for a razor
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: thin win. And the Democrats just upset about the decent,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: credibly stiff increases for the Pentagon and at the same
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: time massive cuts for social programs, medical grants, research, gutting
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: all kinds of agencies that deal with well people's lives, education, etc.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: It's basically a question of philosophy. What's more important A
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: prohibition of gender related medical care under the medical Military
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Health Program, that's their insurance plan. And it's just and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of course, whatever the president wants. Mike Johnson says, of course,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: we'll do that, mister President. Mike Johnson is i have
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: said many times, is Speaker of the House and has
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: said the job of the House is to further anything
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the President wants not being independent. Just we're here effectively
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: as an arm of the executive branch. That's what it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: all about. President says the same thing. I'm going to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: do what I'm going to do when I expect you
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to back it up. Mike Johnson says, yes, sir, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: hopes for a treat and sits on his haunches and goes.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And then gets his treat. Said, roll over the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: Said from the mouth of the guy that called me
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: a Nazi because I disagreed with him this week.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: That is correct? All right?
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Uh? Are we on No.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Number two?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: That's you Aby.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: The Hooties have made good on a threat. They apparently
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: have targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: The group, which is in Iron backed proxy, said in
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: a statement it had carried out the strikes because the
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Saudi tankers were violating a blockade that it announced just.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: A few days ago.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: It claims the strikes caused large fires on both of
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: the ships who were traveling through the Red Seat.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: This war is expanding at a pretty rapid rating. By
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the way, did the Houthis first start this fight? And
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the question is who thy's on first?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Okay? That didn't work either. Oh okay, who these that's right? Hey,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: blowfish pay. Oh well, hey, we're starting this morning, aren't we.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: By the way, we get this every time you mentioned it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: Handle Chris sends in thirty days has September, April, June,
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: and November. The rest have thirty one, except for February,
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: which has twenty eight.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I don't remember that you don't remember any of our names.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: That's also true, which Chris, by the way.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Which Chris. Oh, just a listener. Oh, it's just a listener.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I thought you were talking about Risks as the former
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: head of our news.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Department, which I no longer exists.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he's not up listening to you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I hate he never was uplisting in me anyway. As
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: among ahead, I'm sorry, no, go ahead.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: Los Angeles officials are aiming to reopen the Sunset Boulevard
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: area there by the end of the week that massive
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: water meat break, releasing some seventeen million gallons of water
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: onto the streets of West Hollywood. Of course, I can't
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: water my lawn but two days.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: A week, but that's okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: And they did suffer a bit of a setback because
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: they were making good progress on it. It's not in
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: your story. But as they were getting ready to lay
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: concrete last night, they noticed that there was water pulling
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: up from the slurry that they had laid.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, so they've got a new leak.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: So that's great.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: They're excavating to find that.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: Well, and they have to do the whole thing of
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: checking the water to make sure it's clean again, putting
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: in more slurry.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Because it's a mess and one hundred year old pipes,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: as Neil has pointed out several times, far past the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: life expectancy of those pipes.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Putting guardrails on themselves, sort of. The House has narrowly
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: passed a bill to add new restrictions on lawmakers trading stocks. Now,
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: this measure that passed stopped short of an outright ban,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: but it did pass two thirty two to one. Ninety
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: eight thirteen Democrats joined Republicans to support it. The measure
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: will prevent lawmakers, their spouses and dependent children from buying
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: new stocks of publicly traded companies while they serve in Congress.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: But they can still buy private stocks. They can keep
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: stocks they already had before getting into Congress, and they
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: can maintain certain investment funds.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Youd think that by law, they would all go into
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a blind trust, so it doesn't matter what how they
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: vote and there's no conflict.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: But that'll never ever happen.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Nancy Pelosi on Nancy Pelosi.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: The first thing that came to mind.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I understand that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: By the way, I'd like to know the figures, don't
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: We don't get the figures from Nancy Pelosi.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're around two.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see him, because we certainly get the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: figures from the money that President Trump has made and
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is making. Those figures are readily available, and the Democrats
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: push those out pretty hard, like every five minutes. I'd
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: like to know how much money Nancy Pelosi her husband
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: while he's sitting in jail for a misdemeanor hit and run,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: but how.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Much he actually how much they actually.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: Made between two hundred and fifty and two hundred and
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: eighty million.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Now, how much of that is a respond directly responsible
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as a result of Nancy Pelosi's influence?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Now I don't know that answer.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: Well, her return.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: Over her thirty seven years in Congress is almost seventeen percent.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: It is what they're saying, We're like other if you
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: have a good year, it's like seven or eight percent.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but seventeen percent is I know, that's really healthy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I mean understand, I mean that is. I mean there
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: are funds that do that with winning money managers, fund
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: managers every year.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: No, it has to be average. It has to be
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It's not seventeen percent every years. It has to be
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: an average. The stock market does not do that. There
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: are good days, there are not good days, and that's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: why they average it out.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Versus a lot of good days. Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, but her husband's a money manager, so
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he was doing beforehand, and I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: don't know the answer.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Did she Was it advantageous? How could it not be?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: But when we talk about Trump making one point one
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: billion dollars off a crypto company that he founded after
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: he said crypto is horrible, it's terrible and people were
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: going to jail, and that turned around completely.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: That's the difference. Also, the difference is the presidency.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It's more offensive when a president makes money than when
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a when a congress person makes money. I just like
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to know, by the way, it's not to say that
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pulos didn't take advantage of it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I just want.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, it is. And that's to say that
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: her husband made no money outside of the connections with
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi. I don't know the answer to that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: They should drop the hammer on him. A French professional.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Money That is funny. That is lyned Azure. I'm telling you.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: French professional model recruiter who for over a decade arranged
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: arranged four models to come to Jeffrey Epstein's island there
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: was found dead in his home in Paris on Monday.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: Daniel said, I'm going with that. His body was found
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: in his house in a little suburb there in the
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: French capital, and the nautopsy will be performed to determine
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: the cause of desk, which they obviously don't mention here.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: Playing catch with your dad could cost you a lot
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: because it's illegal. This is a like one hundred year
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: old law in well almost one hundred years old. In
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: nineteen thirty six, LA made it a misdemeanor to play baseball, basketball,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: soccer or any other ballgame on a street or sidewalk.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Of course, that was the time when a lot of
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: kids were outside because there was no TV and no
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: social media and no video games. But nearly a century later,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: council member Bob Blumenfield says he wants to cut the
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: obscure law from the books. Apparently you could get fined
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: up to one thousand dollars and up to six months
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: in jail for violating the law, you know, which makes
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: it illegal to play catch on the sidewalk in front
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: of your house with your kid or maybe a group
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: of kids playing soccer.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that never stops anybody, of course not. We all
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: played his kid.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, a law I just recently
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: pasted a few years ago made it a felony to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: if you have sex with the dead body. It doesn't
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: change it whether it's a felon or not. People still
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: do in mortuaries, you know, they have sex with bodies.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: All the time. That's a reference to amy as you
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: give me the home.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Look, that's a reference to a segment I used to
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: do every year, and I would go cannibalism, the victimless crime.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Remember that, not cannibalism, neilia.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: It's right, necrophilia. Thank you for reminding the necrophilia the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: U taboos. Yeah, the innocent crime because it wasn't a crime.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a crime. Necrophilia was not a crime until recently.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: See these they take I don't know why they stopped
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that stuff with the laws that make no sense.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: That law exists with the baseball But you can ride
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: a twenty five mile per hour e bike on the
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: sidewalk dodging humans. That will change, you know, really gotten
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: together and fill some potholes.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if that's legal, by the way,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: It's questions. Do whatever you want.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: It's moving on, all right.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Bill Gates, if you remember, his name was banted about
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: quite a bit in another Epstein review right here, a
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: lawyer's investigating the Gates Foundation and looking at specifically the
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: ties to the Jeffrey Epstein files and the like, said
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: that Epstein didn't have access to Bill Gates' personal communications
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: or the investigators didn't have access to the personal communications
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: or review interactions with the billionaire's private office, but two
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: longtime employees had deep ties to the sex offenders apparently,
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: and this review determined that Gates and the foundation employees
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: met with Epstein about thirty times over several years, despite
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: warnings from foundation staff as a matter of fact, which
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: makes it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: A little Yeah, That's the part that is tough because
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I think the foundation and it is a thousand employees,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and how is the find out You're going to know
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: who those employees hang with outside of work.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: But the fact that they if their top top, yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And if they're been told about it, that is a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: little bit more problematic, to say the least.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: So he apologized.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Gates has apologized and said that he had never did
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: any illicit activity and he's sorry that he has He.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Is I mean, you know, he is mortified. You can
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: see that. I mean he is troubled by.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: That, mortified that information is going to come out.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: No, I think mortified that it did come out. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the connection. I don't think he was mortified that the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: information came out. And he's mortified as to the connection.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Who is it?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: As Scott Bennett, is that the Secretary of the Treasury.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Do I have that name correctly?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Bessent? That's it? Who who said that? If I get
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the story correctly.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: He said that he had absolutely no connection to Epstein
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and never had been on his island. Uh, And it
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: turned out there was evidence of him and his entire
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: family being on the island.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: Was that best center was that somebody else.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's why.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We have to figure out who that is, because if
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be sued by Bessant.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: So what do you think Gates is innocent?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think he went on the island and said
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: he didn't. I don't think he had much connection with Epstein.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I think they ran in him. I think he did
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: run into him in social circus circles, philanthropic circles.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I think that's the case.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: It was Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's it Lutnik. Yeah, I stand corrected, and so
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: he was. They said they have evidence, plane logs, et cetera.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And so he never said I am wrong. He never
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: said oops. When they brought it up to him, he goes,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: he said, well, we never talked about sex. We never
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: had any connection with his sexual escapades. But wait a minute,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you said you were never on the island, and here
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: it is now. Yeah, good luck with all of it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I'm discussed that, I'm leaving. I can't take it anymore.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: It's your show now, Neil, Nope, No, thanks, you're welcome.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: I'm all for an eye for an eye on this one.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: So they've had these really bad wildfires in Italy, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: it turns out that there are arsonists spreading those fires
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: by tying flammable, soaked rags to cat's tails and then
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: releasing them into fields.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Oh horrific it is.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: That is horrific, and.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: It's not the first time that that's happened. In twenty
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: sixteen they say that in Sicily the mob used cats
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: to start forest fires in a national park, and then
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: the next year the same tactic was used to set
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: some fires outside naples near Mount Vesuvius.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Cono. I don't know why you're laughing, and you find
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: that funny. Another reason to have cats?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see right, don't have cats, or if you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: do have cats, you want you want tailless cats?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Are there such thing as cats with no tails? There
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: are no fur to have? Some have no fur.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I know the hairless cats don't have hair, and Neil
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and I are both hairless on our.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Heads with it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: In the sixties, they would have said you were hairless cats.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Oh God, she jumped right into this. I want to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: point this out for those of you who had that
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: were started listening when Amy came aboard. She was so
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: straight laced, she would never utter. I mean just straight
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ahead though, let me give you the news. Okay, this
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: is kfi Amy King here and now it's she's dove
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: right into us into what we do. Good for you, Okay,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: moving on, all right. Secret Service are preparing again.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: This time is their second take at this year's White
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: House Correspondence dinner, already controversial in so many ways. On Friday,
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: you've got the director Sean Koran looking over how he's
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: going to defend and handle security at this dinner because
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: of the shooter from last time. Although he does stand
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: by and say, you know, the man who was staying
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: as a guest at the Hotel Pride to the dinner
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: was stopped over one hundred yards from the podium, even
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: though he was.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Shooting into the area.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: He says the system did work, but it was shut
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: down back in April.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: They're going to do another one.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he on the floor above the entrance to the ballroom?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I thought he was on the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: level of the ballroom. I had heard or read that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: he was on the floor above, and the head of
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Secret Services, yeah, this is what we do. The guy
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: tried to breach. He got through that first line and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: then we stopped him cold. I mean that I guess
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: that works. I mean, does it does it not work?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: If people don't even try? Does that work as a statement?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: In any case, you get my points? Yeah, yeah, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: get and you get and you can get my point. Also,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by the White House Correspondence Press dinner that
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the president is going to appear at. With vast majority
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: of presidents I have, I think in recent memory, it's
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: all about correspondence ripping into the president.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: It's a roast, is what it is.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I and he is going to sit
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: there and take that kind of attack. I mean, you
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: have to have a pretty thick skin. You remember when
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: it was Imus was the head speaker at the Bill
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Clinton one of the correspondent dinners where Clinton was there,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: and I Mus immediately got into talking about Clinton and
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: his sexual escapades and Monica Lewinsky and orals x uh.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: And it was pretty uncomfortable to say the least. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Clinton is there on the dayais right next to Ims
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: with this rictus smile on his face.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That was tough. So I can't wait to say.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: And they usually broadcast these things too, or at least
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: video them for the news.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: The worst part is when Monica Leawoodsky came out from
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: another table crying.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Jokes, Yeah, that's true.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: That's a great story about you know, under her under
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the resolute desk while Bill Clinton is talking to yes
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: sir Era fat on an international calle.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Remember that story.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: And they knew, boy, they knew there was something afoot
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: when Clinton's were singing yes, sir, that's my baby, Na sir,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I don't mean maybe every time he yelled yes, he's like, well,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: actually it's yes, sir.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: What's worse than cyclosporiasis outbreak?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I was about to say being chopped up by an
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: axe murderer and put into a blender. I thought that
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: would be worse, But okay, this is worse. Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: The FDA says it's investigating another outbreak of cyclospora parasite,
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: seventy two cases of it. The latest outbreak is happening
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: apparently in the Midwest. Of course, cyclosporiasists. Is that explosive
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: diarrhea infection.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they don't know where this is coming from.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to bet it is not coming from Taylor
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Farms either. They figured out where else it is, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: they'll find I have.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: To add explosive, Yeah, it is.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: There's difference in regular diarrhea and explosive diarrhea. There is
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: not only in terms of sound effects, but also in
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: terms of physically how it works.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Okay, okay, measles, Hey, don't worry about that, old buddy yours.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: There's all kinds of things to worry about, like measles,
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: meaesel cases. We talked a little bit yesterday about some
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: of the cases going up and up and up over
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: the years, but now they have doubled ratch here in
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: California so far this year compared to last year. Twenty
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: twenty six is barely half over, and we're already looking
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: at massive amounts. California's confirmed fifty two measle cases in
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: the first six and a half months of the year,
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: more than double the twenty five cases reported in all
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: of twenty twenty five. And you know, in this particular case,
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: of the fifty two cases, forty nine patients were either
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccination record.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, isn't that interesting When vaccines aren't prevalent, look what
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: ends up happening, and measles is one of those fun
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: diseases is probably the most contagious disease or symptom or
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: illness on the planet. You go in a room with
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: someone as neasel, measles and measles, and it turns out
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: that if you are not vaccinated, enjoy yourself with measles.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Handle's predicted war on water may be coming. The combined
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: water level of the two largest reservoirs in the US,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Lake Powell and Lake Mead, has fallen to an historic low,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: threatening a water system that supplies tens of millions of
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: people with water and power.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: Together.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: The two reservoirs haven't been this low since nineteen fifty seven.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Jack Schmidt is the director of the Center for Colorado
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: River Studies at Utah State, and he says it's a
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: milestone in the history of water storage in the Colorado
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: River basin.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Now, do people think when they go to Lake Mead
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: or they go to Lake Powell, they think of those
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: as water reservoirs. No one does. They're just huge. That's
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: for boating for I don't know if you do fishing
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: up there. I think you do, and certainly water skiing
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: is that are all the water sports, but they're actually
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: reservoirs and we're close to or they're close to becoming
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a situation of deadpool. Deadpoolness dead pooliosity is when the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: water level is so low that it can no longer
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: be pumped through those pumps. You go to Lake Mead,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you go to Hoover Dam, Boulder Dam, you'll notice that
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: there are these four large pillars. They are actually pumps
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that pump the water down into the turbines, and their
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: water level is going to go below what they do,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: what they can do, and then it becomes we're done
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: with electricity there.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: It's a mess. It really is a mess, all right.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: So Taco Bell is selling one dollar let us free
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: in curritos.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: The in curritos are great.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: By the way, I know what they don't need let
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: us for those who have been writing with us, is
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: what they say. I actually saw the branding on this
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: and I thought it was quite smart. Fast food chain
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: is obviously trying to recover from the slumping store visits
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: after it was linked to that diarrhea causing parasite. So
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: just one buck, just a buck to say how they
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: appreciate you. I think it's a great deal and really
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: remembers that use the app can also get a side
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: of regular Natcho fries for just a buck as well.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Good for them. That sucks when that stuff happens.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you sign up, they give you a free
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: order of Pectobismo, which helps enormously.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: After eating their talkbosts, soothes and reliefs. Yes it does.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I think we have time for one more.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Mayor Bass has taken control. She sure loves her Metro.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: She was given a ceremonial gavel yesterday as she takes
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: control of La Metro's board of directors. She's going to
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: be the head of the board for the twenty twenty
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: six twenty seven school year. She says, public transit quite
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: literally is one of the most powerful tools to change
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: and improve the quality of life. And that's what we're building.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we have to. We have to move into
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: a non car, non road community.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: It'll change your life drastically. If someone sticks a knife
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: in you.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that will.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And those and if you ever want to spend any
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: amount of time in the Metro, on those metro trains
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: in the middle of summer, it's just a delight with
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the smells, em and e And did you see the gavel?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: You see the close up of the gavel the stand,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: a little stand that it's on in Boston.
• 29:36
