  Speaker 2: I do and make a complete ass out of myself.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's my job. Okay.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The President right now is at the G seven summit
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and he's giving, of course, a talk in front of reporters.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And I think that's top ten economies.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: In the world.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And I think next year, the year after it's going
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to be in China, or it'll be the Chinese G seven,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: although they're not part of it, but they're coming in.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The problem is how many, how many of these world
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: leaders can you get into a panda express And that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is one of the real problems that they're having. Okay, Now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the war, Okay, the war, Well, let me tell you
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a story.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: How about this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: How about a president who seems to be flying by
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the seat of his pants, says he's waging war. Congress
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: steps in to establish a council of experts to advise
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the president, gathering information from across the government, and to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: consider the consequences of military action. Does that sound familiar
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to you? That was Franklin Roosevelt in World War Two.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Congress created the National Security Council, which served the next
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: fourteen presidents, and it was all about sending information and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: planning to the president, because the president just does it
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: on his own and mainly did it on his own. Now,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: there was a declaration of war December eighth, nineteen forty one,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a day that will live in infamy. But it was
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the president once war was declared that went ahead and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: literally made all the decisions. And Congress stepped in and said,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you need a lot more help than that. So they
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: created this advisory body. And it's a body across government.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, it has hundreds of people in it and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they formulate plans and effects and consequences. Well, this president
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: has said, uh ah, not going to pay attention to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: this advisory body, and so he slashed the staff from
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: about two hundred people to less than half that today.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And why did he make the cuts, Well, in part
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: because of Laura Lumer, who is a right wing conspiracy
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: theorist who is close to Trump and tweets a lot,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and she is claiming, and I think rightly so, that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the reason Trump went ahead and cut that body in
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: half is because the NSC was full of people who
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: were inadequately loyal to Trump. And here is the problem,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: is that the president just doesn't listen do you know
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that the military came up with plans and had told
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the administration, hey, you do this, and the Strait of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Hormuz is going to be closed down by Iran. They
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: have that power. Well, the President blew right past that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that might happen is Iran
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: might bomb and attack, at least bomb.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: With ballistic missiles, certainly drones.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It's former allies in the Gulf for certainly those countries
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that supported and had American bases in and even Trump said, oops,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: didn't I really didn't anticipate that. So what do we
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: have now? Well, we've got a mess on our hands.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The NSC had a prime role in the deal, the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Obama deal with Iran reached in twenty fifteen to monitor
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear program. Of course, the White House comes back
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and says the NSC is more effective and responses to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the President's priorities than ever before. It's much like the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: story we did with Hawaiian airlines that they're no longer
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: giving free food because that's what our that's what our
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: customers want. They don't want free food. And in this case,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the President refuses to pay attention to the NSC and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: because he's paying attention to the NSC because he's relying
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on the NFC, of which he has cut in half.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Now it can be argued that it becomes more efficient.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: It can be argued that it can there are fewer reports,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and the bureaucracy is really brought down. But the bottom
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: line on this, the bottom line is that the president
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: shoots from the hit yep. I mean, that's how he governs.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And even those that are adamantly in favor of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: president there are Trumpet cannot argue that one. And the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: other argument on the other side is do you want
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to president the shoes from the hip?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Some do. Some are saying this is what makes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Our ability to be the world leader effective, this is
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: what's good for the United States.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Well, in reality, we're going to talk about this.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Trump has upended the entire world order, Allies, oil economy, inflation,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: put all that together, and there's some big, big changes
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that are not going to be undone there and the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: consequences go on for a long time.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the peace deal.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: If you will, that memorandum of understanding fourteen points is
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: going to be released on Friday, but CNN got a
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: copy of it, all right, I don't know. If you've
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: been to the La Zoo, the LA Zoo is it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: not a good zoo.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It is not a very good zoo.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: If you've been to the San Diego Zoo, if you've
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: been to the Cincinnati Zoo, the Saint Louis Zoo, those
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: are much more sophisticated, they're more expansive, they are run better.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Because the LA Zoo is the last major American zoo
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: governed by a city department, ooh, government comes in, and boy,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: they do a great job of managing all the other
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: all the other zoos around.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: The country, at least to the major zoos.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: What they are is that they are governed by a
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: private government association. Basically, the point of this group is
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to simply manage the zoo. It's not part of a
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: major the city budget or not part of a major
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: management of the city. And so there's a grand jury
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that was formulated about the zoo and it simply says
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the lazoo can't continue the way it's been operating, deterioration
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: of the facilities, declining membership, People just don't want to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: go there anymore because.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Managing the zoo is pretty difficult stuff.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You've got the Zoo Commission, you have neighborhood councils, you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have the city attorney, you have the city Controller, you've
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: got other departments. You have the mayor, you have the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: city council. And that is a mess. And you really
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: need a group of people who do nothing but manage
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the zoo and go through that. And a lot of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: financial problems too. A million dollar shortfall this year and
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it's deteriorating. They need more than that. Funding for maintenance,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: new projects ain't happening. Zoo membership dropped from thirty seven
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: thousand in twenty twenty five.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That was a sneeze. You probably knew that in.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five April and dropped to twenty from forty
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: thousand to twenty eight four forty in February. That's a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: twenty three percent drop in less than a year. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to keep these this is the grand jury report that
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: just came out. To keep these important educational institutes afloat,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: almost all zoos across the country have turned to this
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: public private partnership.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And we don't do that. We don't do that, and we.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Have to because our zoo is falling apart and it
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: is not a place where people come to see the zoo.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You go to San Diego, for example, the zoo is
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a world class zoo. People come to San Diego and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that is part and parcel of visiting San Diego. So
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: city officials have been talking for several years, how do
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you get more visitors of the zoo? Twenty twenty one
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a six hundred and fifty million dollar or remaking an
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: expansion to compete with tourist attractions. The plan met with
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: all kinds of pushback. Roughly eighty nine percent of the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: annual visitors zoo are residents of La County, only eleven
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: percent are tourists. Again, let's make our zoo more of
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a tourist attraction. And in twenty twenty three city council
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: approved an environmental impact report for the renovation of the zoo.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: It's basically nineteen sixties era and still developing plans for that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And so the zoo transition would be extremely complex. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I mean I can go for the whole thing, chain
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of command, authority, management, supervision, labor, util with these maintenance, construction, finances,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: animal care, all of it. And so the grand jury
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: recommends that. Oh, by the way, the other part of
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: it is. The city is in illegal dispute. There's a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: fifty million dollar endowment was set up with a Greater
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: La Zoo Association, which funds the zoo for a major part,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and that's now in litigation. So according to the Greater
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: La Zoo Association, the whole relationship with the city is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: now in ruins. And so it's a shame because I
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: like the zoo too, But more than sixteen hundred animals
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: becoming dilapidated. The exhibits for lions, tigers and bears, sea lions,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: pelicans of all closed down. The last two elephants, Billy
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and Tina, went to the Tulsa Zoo. We don't even
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: have elephants anymore. Of course, animal rights activists have advocated
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: for years over living conditions. No elephants. So yeah, it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a shame, it really is, se If. And we need money.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Where do you spend money? Do you spend money on zoos?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Because there ain't no money for anything anymore.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's plenty of money, we just don't distribute it properly or.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: That may be, but there ain't no money for anything anymore.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And it's a question, well it's a question of social
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: programs too. I'll tell you a couple of organizations that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: have more money than then you know what to do
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: with immigration, ice and border patrol and the military. They
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: have plenty of money. The zoo not so much. You
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: can't even go in and get eaten by a lion
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: anymore because there are no lions to eat you.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. The other thing's going on.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: The President is at the G seven summit and he's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: going to give a press conference about what is going on.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And the big issue would have been Iran, and now
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: it's i think going to go back for the most
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: part to Ukraine and some other issues, and dealing with
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the economy because this war has turned the entire world,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that's certainly the Western world economy upside down. China is
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a big winner on this one. Putin is a big
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: winner on this one. And so there is an agreement
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the President has been talking about that there have been
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: sitting down and there is not a treaty.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's not anything formal. It's a letter of intent.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's a memorandum of understanding, and it's fourteen points.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go through a few of.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Them and comparing what we're doing, what the United States
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: position is now relatively Iran and comparing it to what
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the deal was with Obama in twenty fifteen, with its
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: deal with the US deal under Obama with Iran, the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: President pulled out of that saying it was the worst
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: deal in the history of the United States.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yanked it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And the way I read this thing, we're going to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: be in worse shape now than we were then. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: so let me go through these fourteen points, some of which, okay,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I understand it makes sense, some which has come on seriously.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So number one, upon the signing of this memorandum of
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: an understanding, an immediate and permanent end to the war
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: on all fronts.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Including Lebanon. But it's not the United States, it's at
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: war with Lebanon. It's Israel. And Israel is not signing
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on to this thing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: And Israel said we are going to continue attacking and
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: keeping our war with Lebanon going, and ran up to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: this point was saying it's a make or break. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: now part of the deal and which the United States
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: has agreed to, mind you, is the war stops on
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: all fronts, including Lebanon. Okay, where's Israel. Well, they haven't
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: said yes to this all right, The US and Iran
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: will respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs. Well, up
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to this point, the US we did not have relations
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: with Iran and simply didn't even recognize it as a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: sovereign state. It was considered a rose rogue state. Well
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: not anymore. According to this memorandum, they agreed to undertake
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the two countries, undertake negotiation, and reach a final agreement
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: within a maximum period of sixties a's extendable by mutual agreement.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: This thing is going to go on. Iran's not going
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to cut a deal within sixty days. It's just not
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: going to happen. The President who has said, if Iran
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: effectively doesn't meet all of the terms, I'm going to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: bomb the hell out of them.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: How many times has he said that, got to wipe
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: out Iran.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: We're going to Okay, maybe not. We'll get to wipe
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: out Iran by Wednesday. No, okay, we'll make it by Friday. No,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: we'll make it soon. The President cannot go and bomb
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Iran politically, he can't take it because that means immediately
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, and now you've
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: got the economy going crazy, gas and oil prices explode again.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And now what well, there's political fallout here big time.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: There is no political fallout in the country of Iran.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: That leadership is that leadership, the president saying, there is
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: regime change. There is no regime change. It's just new leadership,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that's it. And somehow taking out the leadership and taking
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: out the secondary leadership that came in does not mean
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that there is a ran there's a regime chain.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the President says, well, we
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: have a new government there that is much more apt
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to talk to with.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: They're rational, they're reasonable.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: They're not they're more hardline than the previous the previous leadership.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So upon the signing, the US lifts the naval blockade
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: immediately and we're and moves to restore traffic within a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: maximum of thirty days, because it's going to take a
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: while to restore the restore traffic, so immediately, immediately, now
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the US stops this blockade, and Iran moves that way
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and says, as long as we will agree to stay open. Now,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: how about the agreement to keep it an open free waterway,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: international free waterway. That's not in there, and what Iran
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: has said they're going to charge and that's up in
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the air, no discussion yet.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Pending a final agreement.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: We will maintain the status quo what it was before
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the war, the status.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Quo on the nuclear program.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: The US will not impose new sanctions on Iran or
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: strengthen the forces in the region. Now part of it
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: it says it will not build a nuclear weapon. How
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: about the enriched uranium? Not a word. How about the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: centrifuges that creates the enriched uranium, Not a word. It's
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: just the promise we will not build a nuclear weapon.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: By the way, I think that was the same deal
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: before it was Now it's just a question of I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: think it was fifteen years with the Obama deal and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the president. Now they're still talking in timelines. So the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: only thing that comes out of this, and it may
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: be the you know, it could be the make or
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: break as far as we're concerned. It could be that important.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And that is Iran promises to have a nuclear weapon.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Now, not a.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Word about enrichment of uranium, not a word about the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: possibility or constructing the equipment to at some point make
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. Just it will never have a nuclear weapon?
• 19:15
