  Speaker 5: frozen food section too.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It was just it was wonderful. So anyway, and we
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have a story about cracker barrel coming up a little
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: bit later on and how many of those are falling apart,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of an interesting it's kind of a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: fun story and that is coming up. Oh wait, it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: fun because of what wells as a result of that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: But this is the fun part of it. Okay, Cono,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: good morning. Did you get a haircut? Not that you
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: can talk?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Okay, so good. This is why
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Cono is not behind the mic.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, and so there Amy, which we've already said hello to.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Hi, and and last and certainly not or maybe least
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: or moderately, can you just be nice? No, I hate you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: We all love you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Ann I know we all love you, don't we? Yes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: we do love it pretty much. Is yeah, it is.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Okay. We've got a lot going on. The deal has
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not yet been cut, has it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: We're waiting any moment for that Senate House bill actually
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: in the Senate to fund the government, because that ends
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the government runs out of money, doesn't run out of money.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You can't spend any money, can't borrow money and spend money.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: When the fiscal year runs out and that happens tomorrow,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: or when the budget year runs out, and that happens
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: tomorrow or tonight at midnight, there ain't no money. It's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: really weird how it works with the federal government. Federal
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: government prints money. Government's all over the place print money,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: except Ecuador, you know, Ecuador. The official Well here's a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: little factoid. Do you know what the official currency of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Ecuador is the official legal currency, the dollar, and they
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: don't print the dollar, they don't print any money. It
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is the dollar, the US dollar. Yeah, of course that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: because you are not in the obscure factoid world.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah I'm a good driver.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you are in any case.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So here you have the US government printing money, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it has to be really careful about how much money
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to print because inflation, you know, you go beyond it,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: walking that very fine line, and so it runs out
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: of money. Okay, end dear, Okay, we voted ourselves a budget,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: which means that the money has to be borrowed because
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: there is no surplus at all. We're in deficit hundreds
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of billions and sometimes are trillion dollars, and so it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: has to borrow. When it doesn't when it stops itself
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: from borrowing money and spending money, it has to do both,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: then the government shuts down. That's the government shut down,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and there's a move to not even have borrowing. Just
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it goes unlimited for the rest of your rest of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in perpetuity. Government runs out of money, it prints more money,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it borrows more money. Borrowing money is selling t bills,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: selling various securities that people all over the world buy,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: because as crappy as our economy is, it's still the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: best in the world. The other countries are far crappier.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: There are few, but they're very small that are in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: really good shape. Norway, for example, has the North Sea
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Oil which the government owns the oil that's put into
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a fund every year, which is why the standard of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: living in norwaya so insanely high. Okay, enough of that,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: what do you think, God, we started with the show already.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I think we should note bill that even if the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Senate passes it, the House would have to pass it
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: before midnight. And they can't really unless they really beat
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: feet and get back there because they're not in session
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know if if Mike Johnson is
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: willing to have everybody come back, he can call, he
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: can say, you get what we want you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But getting on airplanes flying into Washington.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: D C.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: In the midst of another winter show.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and when the airport is shut down, how do
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I get how do they get there? He writes, But
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a shutdown of a couple of days isn't going to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: change much. Shut down of a few days is going
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to change much. The majority of shutdowns, and we've had
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: dozens of them over the last decade or two or
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: several decades, but a couple of days is in the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: end of the world. It's those thirty eight day ones
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that are real shockers. Okay, guys, let's do it. It's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: time for Handle on the News with Amy Neil and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: me and we have two lead stories.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: One of them first one, This just happened.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Don Lemon, former CNN anchor, has been arrested taken into
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: custody as a result of him being involved to whatever
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: extent the government says, and he says in that church demonstration,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: remember when they broke into the church because the pastor
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: was also an ICE an ICE supervisor. Anyway, he has
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: been arrested these many weeks afterward. It was a grand
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: jury indictment they got. So he's arguing that he was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: just covering it and arguing he.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Was just a journalist.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I think he said he found out about it when
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he got there or something, but there are accusations that
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: he was like he's been in on the planning or something.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Don Lemon. Didn't he get tossed for sexual impropriety.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Why was he fired?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I think he was. I think he was fired for
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: sexual impropriety. Yep, yep.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: He was saying, you can't even say things today gets
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you in trouble. You you know, look at an attractive
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: woman passing and you go, boy, look at those winnebagos.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You say that, and you are in deep trouble today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Well, what if she sells recreational vehicles?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Oh well, if she's carrying recreational vehicles on her body.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: And here's the other lead story we are as Amy
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: had Digest told us the Democrats and Trump looks like
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: they have a deal.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: This is in the Senate, looks like they have a deal.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And this had to do with the pushback from what's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: happening in Minneapolis. The government is absolutely backing down. They're
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: soft pedaling this thing, leading wide open this budget deal
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in which the Homeland Security Department, Homeland Security is going
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to get its funding for two weeks based on the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: fact that the administration has agreed to terms like no
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: more masks on ice agents. They can't just arbitrary walk
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in break into homes, businesses. They need a warrant. So
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: there's some things that are going on that things are
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a change in for sure.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, why was Toulci there? The Director of National Intelligence, Tulci.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Gabbard hasn't been seen much lately, but when FBI agents
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: went to the election center in Fulton County, Georgia to
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: do a raid looking for ballots from the twenty twenty
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: presidential election, there was Tulsi Gabbard. National security experts are
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: saying it raises questions about whether she is seeking new
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: relevancy in the eyes of a president who has se
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: on her.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the national security officials don't show up at domestic
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: events like this. They're not allowed to buy law. It's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: international stuff. Domestically by law, they can't get involved. So
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: what the hell was she doing there? And it was, Yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: she is. I think she's on her way out. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: this is the way Trump operates and like many presidents do,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: instead of just outright saying you're fired, you're fired. When
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it comes to a Trump ally, then it's the move
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: is kind of slow.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Also, I think Christy no may be in trouble too.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: He had there was that cabinet meeting yesterday where they
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: when the cabinet meets, and what they do is Trump
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: has them sitting around the table as we know, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: then goes to each cabinet member and asks what's going on?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Please report?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And ninety five percent of it is you're the greatest
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: president that ever was. We are so lucky to have
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: you as our president. You should win the Nobel Prize.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You should retire the Nobel Prize because after it's given you,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it's gonna it's going to be meaningless. I mean on
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and by the way, I'm not exaggerating very much here.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They suck up to him on that level. Uh. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Christinoman was not asked to speak at all where she
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: normally would.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Boy, what does that mean? He bypassed her, went right
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: past her.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: It's probably a good thing to keep her quiet.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would hope so well he didn't.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: He didn't talk to a lot of people yesterday.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but but it was uh yeah, which department head
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: did he not talk to?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: He said, there were several you kind of skipped over people.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't know the ones that imported. Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: The big one is you would just think though during
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: this time that would be important important?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, good point? Good point are.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: In this time?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: It's like you know, weathers, are you probably want to
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: talk to them about, you know, the right eastern northern
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: eastern part of the US too. All right, so the press,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: mister Donald Trump. He's got two older sons that we know,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: and they got a family business. Well, they are suing
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the Internal Revenue Service and the US Treasury. This all
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: goes back to alleged leaks of their confidential tax information.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: This is a civil suit and they're seeking ten billion
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: dollars damages according to this from the governmental court.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from the government.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And this is and don't find this interesting because this
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: is leaking of IRS information. Now, every president not only
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: leaks information, makes public tax returns. And President Trump said
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he would while he was running, and then after he
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: was elected and he was called on it, he went,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: huh did.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I say that?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Oh? I remember that. But isn't this different. Isn't this
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: his eldest son's company. Yes, but they're saying this Chaz
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: or I think Carl's Chaz little John.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know if I don't know if
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Trump was involved in that. Right now, the the the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: sons run the business, and I don't know if he
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: has kept his uh oh, I don't know if he
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: kept his interest in the business or turned it all
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: over to his kids.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: This is one of the ones that he kind of
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: handed over wink wink to his children.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Win quick, Yeah, I think that, Yes, I think so.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I'm not.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Usually usually it's put Usually all the assets are put
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: into a blind trust where the person who's ever in
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: government or running for government turns it over to a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: trustee who does not tell him or her with them
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: where the money is and where it's going.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: It's a uh, what if somebody who worked in the
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: I R S did this politically leaked it politically?
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Could they be could the I think I.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Think so, I think so. Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: He is the one guy is serving a five year sentence.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: He pleaded guilty to disclosing text return information. Chazz Jazz
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Little Is that Chaz? Little John?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chaz? This is a Robin Hood episode. Is that
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about here?
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Little John?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, Okay, failed attempt. This is so bizarre to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: spring Luigi Mengioni. Of course, Mangioni is the guy who's
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: accused of shooting and killing the head of United Healthcare
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: on a street in Manhattan, right outside a hotel, and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: somebody showed up at the prison in New York City
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: and said, hey, I got a court order to release
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Luigi MANGIONI give him to me. And then they said,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: do you have any prov documentation anything. He shows him
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a Minnesota driver's license, claimed he had weapons, and then
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: threw paperwork at them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And so they looked in his backpack. Uh, and there
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: were the weapons, deadly weapons. Won a barbecue fork, you
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: know with those long barbecue fork that's a big fork.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And the other one is a pizza cutter, which and
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: those round pizza cutters, not even the one with handles,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: which can be weapons when they slice you up.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And these are just order just the wheel. Yes, how big?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Did they didn't hear the big brass balls on that
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: guy walking in there?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I'm a BFI and.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Didn't need them.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it all right. La Metro who did
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: not see this one coming? Talk about a money grab.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: So we've you know, can't I has put billboards up
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and we've done buses and bus shelters. Well you've got
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: this new so called documentary Milania Lania, and they got
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: it on buses and bust bus stops and people are
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: painting Hitler style mustaches on her putting expletives referring to
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: her husband, of course, Donald Trump. Uh, and references to
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now that was the bus storms on her.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: That was we're talking just the bus stops, and now
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: they're moving the buses in a secure location.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: The thing that makes me laugh here is La Metro
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: comes out and they said the vandalism spree was extensive
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: and severe, so you know, property damage, and of course,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: you know they've got to protect people on the bus.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But they said.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: They decided to move the vehicles to other locations where
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: there are fewer such concerns. And I'm like, like, white neighborhoods,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: what is that? It's like, what, uh?
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Where? Where? What?
• 16:52

• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did Milania get a sitting ovation?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: She got a standing ovation. I'm sure it was a
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: very Trump friendly crowd.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, she got a standing ovation
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: on stepstools. Man, they really wanted them to stand up.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's see, can we get the copy to be
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: extra red?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Oh? Love?

• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Ages very do you know she's a very good she's
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: a very very private.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the memories. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, who

  Speaker 3: agency oversaw in Minnesota. He praised them, send them, send
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: them love in a video that was filmed in front
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: of Mount Rushmore.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Oh that's sweet. That's not a political statement.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Ham handed? Give me a break.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: This was this he was at He was the poster
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: child of the way ICE has been treating detainees and
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: arresting people. He was the guy, and so uh, he
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: may get fired for I know you certainly demoted.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Something's got to happen.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I mean, there's a lot of very rough
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: stuff going on.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Okay, not breaking news, but an addendum to our earlier conversation.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: The TGIF in West Covina off of the ten is
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: closed and now a Brazilian steakhouse there. Porter Ranch still
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: has the tgifs for those playing the home game. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: there are two claim jumpers left right now South Coast
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Plaza and right across from Knotsbery Farm.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Oh that's right, that's where it was. I knew I
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: had just seen one.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, So thanks to everybody helping out there. All right,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: back to the news.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Shall we go? What a weird story?
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Somebody wants to look at handles privates in the bathroom,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: apparently because they found a hidden camera inside the restroom
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: at a Kaiser Permanent Day Hospital in West Los Angeles.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: But it looks like it was in the employee restroom.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Women.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Well I guess women would have these in the sit
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: downs too. But you know that little place, the little
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: eye that sees you, that knows when you get up
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: or whatever or walk away from the toilet that makes
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: it flush, That's where it sounds like this thing was located.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: It's at a video from a member showed a camera
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: was found. This is the interesting word embedded in the
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: wall above the toilet's flush oh meter. So don't you
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: ever look at those and the little red eye blinking
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: and go, I wonder if somebody's watching, well at this
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: West Los Angeles Kaiser Permanente, somebody would And of course
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: now you've got around thirty nine victims, including emergency room
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: nurses that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: She Yeah, they're doing Kaiser.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, where's Kaiser wrong on this tour? Is
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Kaiser supposed to go through every restroom? Are hidden cameras?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: How can you?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I'm on the jury, I'm not going to
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: nail Kaiser on this.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I mean you have to show some kind of negligence.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: What you could sue the guy? I guess the guy
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: so Wiet, I mean, what do you say? Come on,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: you're gonna sue what if he had a sexual history
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: or heads and that's different, that's different. Then you have Kaiser.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Then you could probably sue Kaiser if there is a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: pattern of crazy stuff.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, but even a criminal background, yeah, is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: no okay?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: And the winner is Kevin Walsh. President Trump says he's
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: going to nominate the former federal Reserve official to be
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: the next chair of the FED. Of course, Jerome Powell,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: who has been criticized incessantly by President Trump, is out
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: in May, and Trump said today he's going to put
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Wosh in place. Trump actually chose Powell in twenty seventeen
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: over Warsh. Worsh was interviewed at that time.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Warsh has credentials. I mean, this guy is
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: certainly qualified. Unlike Gabbard, unlike our FK Junior, unlike PAMBONDI
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy, he's the real guy. What makes
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: him so interesting is that he has been a hawk
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to raise interest rates historically, which.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Is interesting because Trump wants to lower lower exactly.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: That's the point.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: And part of this entire move is to have is
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the independence of the FED and
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: effectively have President Trump tell the Fed where the interest
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: rates should go.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: That's what makes this so interesting, as you point out,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't know the answer to that, and I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody else does. Right now, interest rates are
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: what right now? What over three percent? Three and a
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: half percent. Trump wants it under one percent to really
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: speed up the economy, which of course means inflation too
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: when you have a real hot economy.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I'd like to try.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not going to be for a while. Like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: all right, this is interesting.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: You want to go to break?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, take another break? Will you get so excited about
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: this stuff? Neil, Hey, Cooma coma. We'll getting to a day. Yeah,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: we'll get to listen.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: That's a nice set of oshbosh, gosh, gosh, gosh. Once again,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I believe that we as humans get super stupid when
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: we get emotional. California is projected to lose as many
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: as four congressional seats after the twenty thirty.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Census.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: This is an estimation due to the population decline, So
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: that would mean that there's four seats less in California
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: and a perceived or believed jump. If these trends hold
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: because of migration to places like Texas and Florida, they
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: could gain four seats each. Oh, the other states could
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: gain seats ye, because California is Yeah, it's base. It
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: is all based on population.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: There are exactly four hundred and thirty five congress people
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: in the United States Congress, and that is split up
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: among the states based on population.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: You want to.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Here's a fun factoid, and that is that I think
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: it's Rhode Island. Rhode Island has two Senators because of
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: course it is a state, and it has one congress person.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It is easier to win a Senate seat than it
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: is a Congress seat. And California, of course, being the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: most populous state, has how many does it have? Fifty three?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Fifty two and dropping to forty eight, which gives it
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: less power. Now, it doesn't matter that it drops four
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: as far as the politics. But they're all Democrat and
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: they are that's four seats less than the Democrats. But
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the reapportionment, right, the redistrict thing is going to change things.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: It's a little complicated and it's politics. Oh how unusual
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: politics today?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's not even politics. Well it is because
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: California is no.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: It is run like crape leaving and then you've got
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: a minority population of illegal immigration leaving.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Well, they can't vote.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: They can't vote, no matter what the administration says, illegal
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: immigrants do not.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: No, it's not about voting. It's about headcounting. This is
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: the set.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It is head counting. That's true. It is about headcounting.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: So if you count the heads. It doesn't matter whether
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: they're voting or not. You're still going to get those
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: extra four yes or lose them. That is correct. That
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: is correct, okay, Amy.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Governor Newsom is not at all happy with doctor oz Uh.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Doctor Oz is the administrator for the Centers for Medicare
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and Medicaid Services in the Trump administration, and the governor
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: has filed a civil rights complaint against Oz after he
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: posted a video accusing Armenian crime groups of widespread healthcare fraud.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: He said, as he was being driven around part of
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Van Eyes that in a video that about three and
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: a half billion dollars worth of Medicare fraud had been
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: perpetrated by hospice and home care businesses, and it is
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: run quite a bit of it, in his words, by
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: the Russian Armenian mafia.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You know they that story broke when the news discovered
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: that too many women were buying razor blades at stores
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in are the neighborhoods there.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: In Glendale, That is what you're trying to say.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Well, also in various other parts of the valley also
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Van Eyes.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's that's a group. Emails go to Neil
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for complaints.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, no, no, yes, way more concern going on with Waymo.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: They just had one that went through Echo Park like
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: win Nuts and then and that one supposedly being driven
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: by somebody remotely. But Waimo, which I am a fan
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: of those self driving taxis, recently struck a child near
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: the Santa Monica Elementary School during drop off hours.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're making a big deal about this because
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: from what the story says, the kid jumped out in
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: front of the WAYMOK vehicle between two cars, and it
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: didn't have time to react. Although the sensors react far,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: far faster than a human being.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I was wondering if the kid might have been killed
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: if it had been a person.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly the point.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because and how many kids are hurt and how
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: many people are hurt by drivers who drive too quickly
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and don't realize.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Will ultimately be way safer once there's more and more
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: of Oh absolutely, I.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Think the future the future is going to be and
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: it's not going to happen anytime real soon, and that
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: is all cars on the road will be automatic, will
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: be self driving, and then then.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Gridlock is done.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Gridlock is finished at that point because cars can go
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: along the freeway is sixty five miles per hour. They
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: can be ten feet from each other, five feet from
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: each other, do lane changes safely, and there won't be
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: any there won't be any sudden stops. I mean, it's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: going to be terrific.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: But there was a television show that took place in
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: the future and someone was pulled over for driving and
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: they're like, why were you driving by hand?
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: And they said, what cool is that? I love it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: It was a class of ninety six or something like that,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: or it was about the CIA or the FBI or something,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: but yeah, it was funny.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: They're like, why were you driving? Manually all, let's.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Do one more story before we bail outa here, Amy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: The president's number one fan, has a gold card. Nicki Minaj,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: who has been very outspoken about her support for President Trump,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: recently revealed that back in twenty eighteen that she was
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: brought to the US as an illegal immigrant from Trinidad
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: and Tobago when she was five. Well, yesterday, she actually
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday, she flashed a Trump gold card after launching
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: the president's IRA style savings account, the Trump Accounts.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: But which you pay a million dollars and you are
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: fast tracked for American citizenship.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: She says her citizenship paperwork is being finalized.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you Yesterday the story broke about the visa card,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: that Visa and Trump are now coordinating with each other,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and in order to apply for the visa card, it
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: is a fifteen thousand dollars non refundable deposit made to
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: the US government and then you get this visa card.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it's with of course Trump's picture on it, naturally,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: and it's just completely crazy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Do you know anybody one of these really pretentious, made
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: out of metal credit cards.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: One of my friends has one, thank you.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: One of my best friends has one.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Actually, two of my friends have one. You obviously have
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: more money.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: One of mine.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from what I From what I understand, they are
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: made out of titanium and they're pretty solid, to say
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: the least. Let's take a break. Okay, why don't we
