  Speaker 3: a tour of the tour guide and I was there
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and then somebody, one of the taxi drivers, said, hey,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: do you want to go to a special place. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I went to a special place and it turned out
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to be a bordello, and he said would you like
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to get involved? And all the women there were shaking
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: their heads and putting their fingers across their throat to

  Speaker 3: a bunch of friends and we walked in just to
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: see what that was like, and we didn't select, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they threw us out so quickly. They're not bad, a
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: little sleazy, but uh, those women are very hard women. Man,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They've been around the block.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: They're lovely. I ate with them too. We had a
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: castle role.

  Speaker 3: Not going to touch that one with a ten inch pole,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and I was right.

• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And then Will, good morning Will, Good morning Bill. Hey,

  Speaker 3: I've been told by various sources that I should pull
• 4:37

  Speaker 4: I'm big boned.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you are big. I've always wondered about that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: To be big boned, what does that have to do
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: with how much fat you have on you? And isn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: anybody bigger bigger boned and smaller people smaller bone dourus?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Hi, Cono all right, sorry, I've I've
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: said good morning to one and all, and as I said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: we have a lot to talk about today, so let's
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: start handle on the news. Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: All right, Yesterday Supreme Court divided. Supreme Court broke down
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: on conservative liberal grounds allowed the Trump administration to move
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: forward with plans to restrict mail in voting before the midterms.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: The administration went moved in an emergency an emergency motion,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and the Court did grant it as a matter of
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: fact and said that he could the President could proceed
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: with implementing an executive order is signed. Now, how does
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: he do that in light of the Constitution, which specifically
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: gives the states the power to control voting. Well, here's
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: what he said. I'm not limiting it. I'm just and
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: this is what the order said, and this is what
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: he asked for. I'm merely asking the states to create
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a list of their voters. And we because we mail
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: ballots to people, we don't want to mail ballots to
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: those who are illegals, and the states aren't doing that job.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So we're going to make it easier for the states.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Does that mean the states have to comply and do
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: what the Feds are asking for Nope, at least not now.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It is with the administration saying we're going to make
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: it easier for the states to control illegal voting. Okay, Now,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: no requirements states follow that at all, So I'll talk
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: more about that. It's a little complex, a little wonky,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: but I have to unwonk it because there's a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to that. And I know if the headlines read Trump
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: administration prevails on mail in voting, it does not particularly.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, So along with this mail in voting, they're going
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: to have to have new rules for the mail in ballots.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: So the US Postal Service has unveiled some requirements for
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: mail ballots. That comes less than two weeks before some
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: states starts sending those ballots out. Provisions are still subject
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: to additional legal challenges and may not go into effect
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: in time to meet the deadline to change procedures for
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: these midterm elections. So things are going to get as
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Bill said, wonky. They would forbid the Postal Service from
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: sending mail ballots from any state that doesn't comply with
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Trump's order, and would require an overhaul of the envelopes
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: that have the ballots in them, and the thing of
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: note on all of this is despite the High Court's
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: initial clearance of the order, that bill was just telling
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: you about. It didn't decide whether it was constitutional or not.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: It only said the challenge was premature.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Right, and they're still going to decide. They're still going
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to decide. They're just saying as of right now, Trump
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: can require states right now, and there's not even going
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to be time enough to do it, probably to compile
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: lists of people who are legal and can vote, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: will in fact, they will supply lists the administration. And
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the way I read it is, here are a list
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: of people who are illegal, which they know. Now the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: question of just picking them up as far as the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Trump administration, and here is the list for the states.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Now you go to work and figure it out how
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you're going to control how they don't vote. That's effectively
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: what it is. And the Post Office is saying, we
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: on our side have the ability to control even if
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the states send it out with the US mail. We're
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: not going to send mail to illegal aliens to vote.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: We're going to change the ballots. Does that make sense.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It's a little complicated, Well, it was a good word
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: for it. Wonky really is wonky really is a good
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: word for it. Okay, let's move on. Let do one
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: morning it. We'll take a.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Break, all righty, crew members board the USS Abraham Lincoln
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: finally get a port of call scheduled on. Texts have
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: been going back and forth, I guess between family members,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and it looks like the planned stop is going to
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: be in Thailand. Early in September, they had this record
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: setting deployment in the Middle East that we've all been
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: hearing about the US war in Iran. And what's it
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: been like two hundred and some odd days that they've.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Been out over two d and fifty days.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been out there and with complaints about the
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: ship that needs to be serviced and food and all
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: of these things. And it seems like they will have
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: their first walk on land in Thailand.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now I have a question.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: They've been a place to go.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: These guys have been awardship for so long. I'll bet
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you they really in many cases don't know the difference
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: between men and women. I mean, it's been that long.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And if all the places to go to, Thailand would
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: be the last place you would figure that they would
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: go to. That, by the way, is a very nuanced joke.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to point that out.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: You're telling a joke again.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you see, if we will got it, no will
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: got it. It is Kono, who usually laughs at this,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: has no idea what I just said.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: He's never been to Thailand and he's never been to
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: a Lady Boy show.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Really wow, I have no I get that, I get
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: now exactly, but that now, that connects to the joke
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: a board the Abraham Lincoln and guys who have not
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: seen can't tell the difference because they've been a ship
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: for so long and Thailand and being the last place
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: to go there is a wonky, nuanced deep joke.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Well, Rob Bonta has thrown a curveball. The Paramount Warner
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Brothers deal hit another roadblock. There was supposed to be
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: a big meeting yesterday over how they might be able
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: to get together between the state and the companies to
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: settle this lawsuit, the antitrust lawsuit that's been filed by
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: twelve states. Attorney General. Rob Bonta confirmed that they had
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: a meeting scheduled, but then he pulled the plug on
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: it late on Sunday said nope, not doing it. An
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: accused Paramount of acting in bad faith, saying that they
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: leaked information from a meeting that they had on Friday.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: He said, as soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages, sincerely,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: my office is happy to meet again.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: This issue is real simple. Unlike the Trump decision yesterday
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: by the Supreme Court with the mail in voting, this
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: one's real easy, and that is is the merger. Does
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the merger create a company that is monopolistic, has too
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: much market share, controls the market for entertainment too much?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Or does paramounts argument, Hey, there's plenty of competition out
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: there with streaming and cable and terrestrial broadcasting, that and
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: movie distribution Disney, etc. That we're not going to be
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: that big a deal in terms of market share. That's it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: There's the argument, and we'll see what the courts say
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: about that one, all right.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: The Trump administration wants to charge employees seeking skilled foreign workers.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: We know that through the H one B. If you remember,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: we had one of those in Bill Carroll from Canada.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: He had come here on an H one B and
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: this is their visa program. But he wants to change
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: the fee to a little over one hundred and three
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars. This revenue fee would go to legal immigration system,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: the courts, and so forth in the US immigration and
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Customs enforcement. So that's a pretty major fee. I don't
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: know what it was. I was looking to see what
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: it cost prior.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was several thousand dollars. Yeah, that's very much.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Three fours right, Yeah, something like that.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: That's what I thought it was.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: And here was the argument that was made prior when
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the court held it was illegal, that it was the
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: fee was simply to keep out workers. And the court said,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you can't do that. Now it's one hundred That was
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars. Now it's one hundred and three
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars, I guess because of inflation. And this has
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to do with the fact that, well, it's basically the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: same argument. It's just a different way of approaching it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: And you know what the frustration is, Bill is he
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: says he doesn't want immig rents here that aren't up
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: to par. You know, he does want to bring in
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: the poor. And then you find people that are skilled
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: by definition for the H one B and then you
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: penalize them.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Well, the argument, well, the reality is he doesn't want
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: immigrants period and now one hundred and three thousand dollars.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: And we did have Bill Carroll, he was in from Canada.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: It was a talk show host for a while, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I Heart brought him in and paid the fee and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: had the lawyers do the thing today, one hundred and
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: three thousand dollars. Would I Heart ever ever pay that
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: much money? Considering that if you put the salaries of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: every single talk show host on this station combined, it
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: doesn't reach one hundred thousand dollars. So what in God's
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: name are they going to do? You will only see
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: home grown talent here, talent like why.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: He's still growing?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I no, it stopped going a long time ago. That's
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: what I'm stunted.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Homegrown talent, pruned, pruned, homegrown talent.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Disneyland's newest attraction a parking structure. They're breaking ground on
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: a new parking structure and transportation hub that's being built
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: on the east side of the Disneyland Resort's going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: add six thousand new parking spots, also shuttle and ride
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: share areas. It's going to have a pedestrian bridge over
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Harbor Boulevard leading to an all new esplanade and Arrival experience.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: They apparently need it because the park is growing. There's
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: a new Avatar land coming and a Coco themed attraction
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: and all kinds of stuff. So they're planning for the future.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: And the parking structure it's multi story. As you go around,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: going up the parking structure, go level the level, as
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: we all do. They're going to market it as a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: new form of the Utopia ride. And as you go
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: around and then come back down and there they are.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: There they are. Oh boy, new ride of Disneylandtopia. That's
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: a great idea. Now you would buy that, Amy, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: so with Neil, because whatever they say, you do, you say, oh, yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: that's great fun.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: John aka Jed York, the principal owner and CEO of
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, was arrested in Ohio
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: after over the weekend. Rather, he pleaded no contest Monday
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, conduct, and possessing criminal
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: tools that actually had to do with prostitution. There. He
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: claims he was just looking for a new tight end
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: and wide receiver. Good night, everybody, tippy waitress.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He went to a trailer park to meet a hooker.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Because one hundred and sixty dollars in his pocket.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's not possessing criminal tools, it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: possessing a criminal tool, and that's what he was charged with.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: And he played guilty too.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so apparently he was in this area that's known
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: for prostitution. He had the money and the tool, by
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the way, was his cell phone for setting up the date.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's what they're calling it now.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Huh yeah, so uh, And they'll be changing the name
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: to the San Francisco sixty nine ers.

• 17:51
  Speaker 5: said every country that does business with the Islamic Republic
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: could face retaliation from the US. Their plan is to
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: cut off Iran from the rest of the global economy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I talked about this yesterday. I saw the press conference.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: It was a little light on details in terms of
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: which countries are going to be sanctioned, and Scott Besson said,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: we're working on it right now, and we're just talking
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to our allies and we've already achieved some success, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of course the big question is China, China. What does
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the president do with China. I'll talk more about that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I was talking to and boy has he put himself
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: in the corner on this one. Oh yes, he has.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Talk more about that. Coming up at seven point thirty.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Horrible fire going through the heart of old town, New
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Hall and Santa Clarita. I love that area up there,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: and to think of these old places and going down
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: as very sad. So it reduced this small stretch of
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: mostly women owned shops, which I find interesting and also
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: adding to the sadness, loved restaurant all of it ashes now. Yeah,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: so it's very very sad to see all this.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Gary Hoffman had dinner there the night before.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Really, I have no doubt.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: It was one of those places that just the.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Refinery and now they just tell you bring your marshmallows.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: There's nothing else to do. It's very tough.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Well, paybacks are hell. Gk N Aerospace plans to pay
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: up to one hundred million dollars to make things right
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: to the people in Garden Grove. You'll recall that more
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: than fifty thousand people had to leave their homes in
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: May when a pressurized chemical tank owned by g Can
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: started to overheat and officials were saying that it could
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: explode or cause a major spill, and it had seven
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: thousand gallons gallons of methyl methic ryghlight in it, which
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: is a toxic chemical. The company has since decommissioned the
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: tank and thirteen to seventeen thousand households in the neighborhood
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: around the facility had to be out of their houses
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: for almost a week. So the money is going to
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: go to reimburse them for expenses like hotel stays and
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: loss of use meals, transportation, launch, the wages, those kind
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: of things.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: You know what caused to me to not question it,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: but find interesting that we're talking seven thousand gallons that
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: could cause this much damage. Usually when you think of
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: seven thousand gallons spill of anything, Okay, I mean that's dangerous,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: but to this extent, I mean that's how powerful, That's
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: how toxic this stuff is. I guess. So so there
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: they go one hundred million dollars and I wonder how
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: much of that is insurance, And if that's the case,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I wonder how much their premiums are going to be
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: next year, Neil phone off.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: The state wants not only your taxes, they want the
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: money you might have forgotten about. Proposed legislation to streamline
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: California's ability to seize abandoned stocks and mutual funds, by
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: the way, is drawing opposition from business groups, dividing Democratic lawmakers,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: and they're trying to push this bill fourteen forty seven,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: which seeks to define more the process for California to
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: take custody of securities when owners are deemed to be absent.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: So apparently there's like fifteen billion dollars in unclaimed property,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: including securities, stockholdings, that type of things, mutual funds, retirement
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: accounts that this seems short to me that if they
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: haven't been logged into or touched in three years.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're consisting there. I thought it was seven years
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: or five years. Yeah, three years, Yeah, three years, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: this is cheap for three years. Well, I'm in the
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: middle of one of these right now with the state.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: There was in my surrogacy days, we had a bank
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: account that belonged to my partner, and I had a
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: bank account that belonged to us, and during the course
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: of the sale and all of it. It somehow slipped
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: through the cracks, and there it is. There's the account,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and the state has it, and the state has to
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: reach out, which they did, and I've been at it
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: for a year already. Is it real money, Yeah, it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: real money. Yeah, it's a healthy chunk of money. Yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: it was a pretty good sized bank account.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Why do they give it over once they know?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Oh no, because you have to. You just can't make
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: a claim for it. You have to do. You have
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: to jump through all kinds of hoops. The state does
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: not want to let go of it. California does not
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: let it. Like letting go of money under any circumstances.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: The Franchise Tax Board. You know, in terms of taxes
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: with the IRS, there is a statical limitations. You know
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that after a certain period of time, the IRS can't
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: go after you. No statute with this to California. None.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: You owe taxes. You are going to die owing taxes
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: if you don't pay them. And I'm talking about for
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the rest of your life. You can buy or or
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: you when you die on your tombstone. Remember when McDonald's
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: used to say over a billion hamburgers, and then five billion,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: and then twenty billion, and then zeros just kept adding
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: up on those signs. That is what your tombstone is
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: going to read. If you owe money to the State
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: of California, they just do not let go.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Our governor has a beautiful home on two hundred thousand
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: dollars a year.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was the state put that up, that
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: was donated that house. It wasn't it was not paid
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: for with the money's selling. Yeah, it's the state can
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: sell it. But also the Getty Mansion was given to
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: the city of Los Angeles, Gracie Mansion was given to
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: the city of New York.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I'm giving out his private home with the five thousand bottle.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: where he got the money. But let me tell you
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: there's a Republican or two out there that would love
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to be able to prove that Newsom somehow was able
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: to get that home with money that he shouldn't have.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: It's coming, Okay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Is it worth the risk? New data shows that at
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: least one in four of all people who have played
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: football in the NFL might expect to end up with
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: chronic encephalopathy. According to a study of hundreds of cases
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: over a six year period. So it's CTE, which is
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: that brain disease that can't be diagnosed until after you die.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: But researchers considered every former NFL player who died between
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty one. There were eight hundred
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: and seventy eight of them. Some of them died in
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: their twenties, some in their eighties, most were somewhere in between.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: And that study found that at least two hundred and
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: fifteen of those eight hundred and seventy eight former players,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: almost twenty five percent had a CTE.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: So, Amy to your question, is it worth the risk?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Why don't you ask a couple of ballplayers who made
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars a year and sign their contracts with
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: an X and see if it's worth the risk. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: would say yes. But and I even signed my name
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: with real letters. Okay, I don't know, Sam, Moving on,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Moving on all right.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Canada is upset again. They're announcing that they're going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: do retaliatory tariffs against the United States. They say that
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: they said this today and that President Donald Trump of course,
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: is telling Canadian listeners or leaders rather to fall in
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: line or face the consequences. Far worse, he says, than
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: existing tariffs, and Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington trying
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: to subordinate Canada.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Usually when the president negotiates with other countries, the word
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: nuanced might appear with any other president, not so much
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: with Donald Trump. And it's it is a war now,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a tit for tat Canada, said
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Mark Carney said, Yep, every dime you ter if us,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: we're going to tear af you. And one of the
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: tariffs that the United States has is against autos, for example,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: and auto parts coming in from Canada. A huge number
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: of cars manufactured in Canada come into the United States
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: and the auto and the auto industry buys a huge
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: number of parts from Canada. Yeah, it's going to be
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a mess, it really is. We'll see which way it goes.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: And the President talks about how there are insane tariffs
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: on the Canadian side. That's true, mainly in dairy. Do
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: you know that in the world of dairy, you know, eggs, poultry,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Canada charges a one hundred percent
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: tariff on dairy goods going across the border, which means
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: that there is no market in Canada for dairy products,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: but not much beyond that. And the President is hold on,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: whoa what a sneeze? And the President is now tariffing steel,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: auto parts autos. I mean, it's a lot of account lumber,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: which all of the furniture makers up there are all
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the people involved in making wood products that's going to
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: be cut. It's going to be a big deal. It's
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: going to be a hell of a ward. To say the.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Least days are numbered for B one and B two
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: visa holders. The Trump administration preparing to revoke the business
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: and tourism visas of up to two hundred thousand people
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: from other countries who've applied for or are currently seeking
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: asylum status in the US. They're called the B one
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: B two visas. They were issued between twenty sixteen and
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty six According to US officials, they're coordinating with
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security to identify and revoke the
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: non immigrant visus of foreigners who have come to the
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: US claiming to be short term visitors but then filed
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: for asylum to stay here permanently.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, how do you argue with that? I Mean,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: here's the Trump administration saying they're basically defrauding the United
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: States coming into the US, as you said, on a
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: tourist visa or temporary work visa, and before it runs out,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: immediately asking for asylum, political persecution, the threat of death overseas.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Come on, guys, the President is right on this one. Now,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the other side of it is, we can't file for
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: asylum because the government isn't allowing any asylum seekers claiming asylum.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: So effectively, what the Trump administration is saying, we don't
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: want foreigners here. It's that simple. We just don't want them.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: And keep in mind he was elected on this. He
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: has a line about this. This is one of his
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: campaign issues, don't want foreigners in this country. Okay, moving on.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Heart breaking story. An eight year old girl in Louisiana
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: has died after being infected with an incredibly rare brain
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: eating amba that is found in warm fresh water. They
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: believe she was swimming and contracted this while swimming in
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Lake Claiborne in North Louisiana. And you're talking about a
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: very small there were fewer than ten cases annually in
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: the US, and this young girl, Lilian, died from this
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: very very rare brain eating amoeba.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: But and it almost always proves fatal. I mean, you
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: get it. You're basically dead. Yeah, that's yeah, it is heartbreaker,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: it is, but that you just don't allow your kids
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to swim any place other than swimming pools and the toilets.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Clean water without toilets before flushing will Okay, flushing before
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: flushing not for flushing, sofore flushing.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Your brain is odd.
