• 1:52
  Speaker 1: perfectly handsome and normal-sized Will. We have the lovely Amy King.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The one that I joke the most around is Kono,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: but he's actually normal height. Otherwise, I wouldn't joke with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: him about it. And the lovely Anne. How are you, Anne?

  Speaker 1: Happy Labor Day. Look at the real crew.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: We are laboring today. Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: We are. What is... I know it's going to sound stupid.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I know what it is, but it's not something you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: think about. What is Labor Day? It's just like, hey,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: was it like did the unions do this or something?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Was it like, hey, everyone works hard. Let's take a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: day off.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's been around for like 100 years. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: was I was watching television and they were explaining what
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is Labor Day and why do we have it? But
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: we've had it for like 100 years.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: OK, well, I'm I'm not fully 100 years.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You know, it's It honors the American labor movement and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the contributions of workers. And now, in modern society, it's
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: a day for protests of people who want to get
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: paid more.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Ah, well, that's a flip. Yeah, how about they don't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: give us a day off and they just give us
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: some money?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: They are doing a solidarity parade picnic and rally in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Wilmington today. Thousands expected to turn out.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Solidarity in what?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: They want more money. I told you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That's it?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants more money.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So why don't you spend that time working and moving
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: up the ladder? What? There's none of us. We're all
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: doing that. I've done it for over 30 years at
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: this place. And look at me. Still working on Labor Day. Right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I've gone from a nice corner office. I have a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: locked cubby, basically. I got a locker. I've gotten from
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all that back to a locker.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Downward mobility.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It was first celebrated on September 5th, 1882 in New
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: York City. And Oregon was the first state to formally
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: recognize Labor Day.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And patchouli oil as the natural scent of Oregon.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Only in certain areas.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oregon's weird. Beautiful, but weird.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: That's Portland's moniker.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It's stay weird.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But it's like you have Portland and then you have,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, other areas that are conservative. And then you got,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm all for weird. I live off of weird.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like California. I mean, Southern California is incredibly
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and parts of Southern or parts of California, incredibly liberal areas.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And other parts are incredibly conservative. You get that in Oregon, too.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but, you know, they're just weirder. Well, there
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is I have a saying with my wife long before
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: we ever had Max and that we lived in Hollywood
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and now we live in East Central L.A. So it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like when I see something weird, I always look at
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Tracy and go totally normal. A guy in the middle
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of winter. on a 15-foot bicycle, 15-foot high bicycle dressed
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: as a skeleton, just riding down the street, midnight, totally normal.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Nowhere near Halloween, nowhere near, just totally normal. Like that's how,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that's my crazy. I want, I want just enough Not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: where it's everywhere and people are trying too hard. Portland
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kind of seems like that sometimes. I just want enough
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: crazy to feel like, think, God, I'm not living in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a cul-de-sac somewhere in a beige house. That's all. Just not,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that's not my thing. That might be your thing. That's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: not my thing. That's all. All right. Let's start some
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: handle on the news. Shall we go with me, Neil Saavedra,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and of course, more importantly, Amy K. King. Lead story. Oh, Iran,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: come on. Can't we all just get along for the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: kids and the old people? Iran claims strike on U.S.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: ship in the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S. denies it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And that's also Trump's natural color. So it seems, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we're saying it's a total lie. The purported attack came
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a day after the U.S. military said forces struck three
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Iranian oil tankers, pick however you want to pronounce it,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in response to Navy warships being targeted with ballistic missiles.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So says the expert. Dangerous escalation is what everybody's saying.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. I mean, really, if it goes
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this way, Someone's got to pull, you know, someone's just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: got to blow stuff up. If it's that important to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: have Iran not have nuclear weapons, which I believe it is,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: then bombs away. If you're not going to do that,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: no one's going to listen. So says I.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Speaking of bombs away. Apparently, it was a deadly miss.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: The Pentagon says the likelihood is high that a U.S.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: bomb missed a nearby target and ended up hitting a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: home that was hosting a wedding celebration in Iran. Iranian
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: officials say at least four civilians were killed and dozens
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: more were injured. It was part of a larger wave
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: of attacks almost a week ago in southern Iran. And again, U.S.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Central Command said we did not target Iran. civilians they
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: never do but.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You know what is it uh schools and weddings like
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: every every time there is uh this kind of quote-unquote
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: war you get that it's a wedding that's why you're
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: better off saying everyone out we're gonna start bombing like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: everyone just make it known we're not playing everyone out
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: no more nothing you can't you can't do this half-assed
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: war bombing back and forth. That's when you're going to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get more civilians and you're going to, strangely enough, you're
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: going to have, and just say, this is how it's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: going to be.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what's interesting, like with the Ukrainian-Russian war
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: is that, that when we get news stories about it,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it'll say a Russian bomb hit a Ukrainian apartment building
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and 19 people were killed. We never talk about the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: thousands of soldiers who are dying.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I know, that have usually just volunteered, not in the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Russia side, and I guess not on Ukraine side now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're male, you've got to be fighting,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I would imagine. The cargo plane that we heard The
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Amazon cargo plane. Did you see this? Just it overran
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the Miami airport runway. It hits multiple vehicles, five dead,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: five injured. And, you know, this type of accident overrunning
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the or, you know, overrunning the runway is the number
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: one accident for planes. We've had them in Burbank. You
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: remember back some time ago, Amy, where the airplane overshot
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the Burbank and it went into the street and then
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to the gas station across?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Which I got to tell you, I'm not a city
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: planner by expertise. I wouldn't put a gas station or
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a bomb, if you will, at the end of a very...
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: short runway in Burbank. Like I would say, could we
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: move that a little, just a skosh? Just a smidge.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just a skosh to the left or, but yeah, that seems-
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It was horrible. And you saw a lot of, you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: smoke going up. And was it like on a freeway
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: or something right next to it? Because it looked like
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it hit. Parking lot. Parking lot. Yeah, because it looked
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like it hit, you know, like 16 Wheeler or something
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is out there as well. Very sad. And how many
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: people are going, I wonder if I had any packages
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the pilot and the co-pilot were trapped inside, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they both survived it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So I imagine it's the people on the ground then
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in that situation, the other cars. All righty. Neil Savajer
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: with you. All right, Kevin. Okay. So Kevin calls in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on the talkback. So Neil, I don't know, Kevin, this
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: is his voice though. I'm confident of it. So Neil.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe if you joined a union, maybe you'd get paid more.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe you'd be able to get paid more instead of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: just giving all your money to these billionaires. I'm sick
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of you. Okay, Kevin. I'm sick of you too, Kevin.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I've been in a union for 30 years. Unions were
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: important and necessary. Now I pay to work. I will
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: tell you this, and this could change.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I don't take my pension yet, so that will be
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a good thing one day. That's the best thing. I've
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: never used their insurance. I've never had a union rep.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I've never had an agent. I've never had any of that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I go in, I ask for what I think is fair,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and we agree to it and walk away. I don't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: sit there and play table tennis with anybody. I don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: sit there and try and squeeze every dollar out of anybody.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I know they make billions, but I'll tell you, why
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: don't you look at the money that SAG-AFTRA made in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the last tax season? So I'm saying I have to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: pay thousands to work. Thousands to work. Unions have their place.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. And they had their place. But
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: now they're just a political entity like everything else. They're
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: not for the people. I don't feel handled like I'm
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: being taken care of as a person. And that's a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: stupid notion, Kevin. I'm sorry. It's a stupid, stupid notion
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to think that I don't know why people want mommy
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and daddy to take care of them so much. You know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you got a great, great place and a great place
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: like America with opportunity. And we've gotten to a place
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: where it's like, somebody protect me. You know what? Give
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: me cops. Give me firefighters. Fill the potholes. We'll figure
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: out the rest. Jeez Louise. All right. Back to the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: handle of the news. Shall we go? Amy K.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: King.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Where are the missing pilgrims? That's the big question. Following
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the deadly flash flooding in Nepal, more than 1300 people
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: killed in And there are a group of pilgrims in
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Tibet that nobody's heard from or seen from. And the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: families are now really raising a stink because they're not
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: hearing anything from the Chinese side of the border. There
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is no information coming out. We can't go to China
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: to talk to anyone. There's no update from China about
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: what's happening at ground zero, according to the families. And, uh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: This one woman, an Indian born Finnish citizen, was at
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the border crossing with Nepal when the mudslide hit. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: she's one of 261 foreign nationals still missing in Tibet.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I think that there's probably going to be there's like
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: more than 5000 people missing at this point. I'm sure
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it's frustrating for the families, but I would imagine those
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: people may never be found.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was– when you're looking at not only water
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and rain, but you're looking at the mud, the walls
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and waves of mud.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: That looked like water.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was insane. I mean, really a Hollywood movie.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It was– and they disappear, I mean, in that. Tragic.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You know, that almost is like Pompeii. I mean, it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just is– It's just consumed humanity. So I don't know
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: how that's going to change over months. But the miraculous
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: stories that we've been hearing are at least hope-inducing. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you can't ask for much more than that under such
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a heinous situation. All right. Low-income patients at UCLA Health scramble.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: They're scrambling for answers and new doctors. because of a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Medi-Cal contract that was not renewed. So you've got about
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: 9,000 medically frail patients from Healthcare LA, that's an association
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of a nonprofit clinic there, that serves patients covered by Medi-Cal.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And this is a state program for the poor. And
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it looks like it's going away. They did not renew.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And so a Friday news conference that Healthcare LA had...
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Scheduled to detail the problems patients, you know, we're going
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: through now, what they're facing. Getting care was abruptly canceled
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: when the two sides said they had reached a tentative
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: agreement on how to transition for new doctors over the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: next year. But we shall see how this ends up
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: going as well.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Who wants to buy a house from this guy?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: His name is Lane Lundeen. He's from Tucson, Arizona. He
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: apparently forced American Airlines flight 618 from Dallas to Newark
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to land prematurely in Baltimore after he had a bit
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: of an outburst. It was a slur spewing scene. He
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: hurled the N-word at a flight attendant, spouted anti-gay insults,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: according to police. And so in response to that, they
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: duct taped him and zip tied him to his seat.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And there's pictures of it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Did he just have his ass handed to him by
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of gay guys and an African-American? What was the, like,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: who was he?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I don't, so that he was.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: What started it? I mean, other than drinking an Ambien
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is my guess, but, and I don't know that to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: be true, by the way.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but he, he became belligerent toward the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: end of the flight. He started making derogatory remarks to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the staff and other passengers, racial slurs, vulgar language, various
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: offensive to women. Um, yeah, I, I don't know what
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: started it, but I think you're right. I would imagine.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They duct taped him and it's, this picture is hilarious.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Like the look on his face. If he had any cojones,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that would be on a bench. That would be on the,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: his next bench ad, you know, don't get tied up
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in the details. You know, it's like something he could
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: put on there would be fantastic, but you know, I doubt, well,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe in Arizona he'll still get some
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: people using him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Careful, don't drink and fly.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sad, sad state of affairs. Second person
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: dies at Burning Man Festival. You know, Ann and I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: going over stories last night. The wrinkled weenie sausage fest. Yeah.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Did they die of natural causes? It seems to be
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: getting older out there. But its second Burning Man Festival
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: attendee has died. Craig, strange spelling, man, 60, was found
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: dead in his camp at Black Rock City, Nevada, just
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Saturday at 3 p.m. No cause of death disclosed at
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, that's sad. But, you know, you got
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people doing psychedelic stuff and I would
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: imagine you're going to expect people to pass.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Hopes are a little bit higher.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: U.S.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Peace envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff spent the weekend overseas.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: They met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev yesterday.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: And before that, they spent some time in Moscow, where
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: they had three hours of talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Witkoff said they heard new ideas in Moscow. They didn't
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: detail them and said that they hoped a new round
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: of U.S.-mediated Ukraine-Russia talks would be announced in short order.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine anything coming out of that. You know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like Russia wants to play ball.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: All right, a gray wolf, beautiful animal, by the way,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and something that a lot of people don't understand just
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: how big wolves are.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Wolfs.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: You know anybody that pronounces it wolfs?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I do, too.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: They're in weird Portland.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wolves.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Did they celebrate Valentine's Day?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: With their fork?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Worsh. And their washer.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Their laundry. Yeah. You know what's weird? Those are all
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: white people things, like Warsh and things like that. There's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: no R. in Warsh, right?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: But if you hear a black person say Axe, people
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: are like, oh, it's uneducated. Oh, yeah, but you go
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to a region where white people say Warsh and there's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: no R in it. That's regionalism. See that, Amy? Yeah.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Pointing out racism, everyday racism.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Neil.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. See, that's all I need. A little thank
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you every now and again. Okay. So this gray wolf
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: spotted in Lake County, a good sign. They say that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the recovering endangered species is expanding its presence in California.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Pretty crazy. I mean, that we'll be at a place...
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Life has a way. I don't mean to quote Jeff
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Goldblum from Jurassic Park, but life has a way. It
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: just it does. Thank God we didn't have a bunch
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of activists, you know, 65 million years ago. Otherwise, we'd
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have dinosaurs now. It's just some things.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Don't kill the dinos.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So they even if they killed us, it'd
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: be OK because we're horrible, but they're not. But that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: gray wolf, that's very, very exciting and very cool.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: This is groundbreaking. Predicting ground shaking. Scientists at UC Riverside
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: have developed a way to identify where the biggest earthquakes
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: are likely to occur. So they're using methodology that identifies
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: where stress has been building along major faults. So scientists
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: can determine where a rupture will take place. They look
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: at subduction zones. which is where one tectonic plate slides
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: beneath another. The most powerful earthquakes tend to take place
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: in these zones. Those are the ones that measure 8.5
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: or greater and typically cause tsunamis. So they may be
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: able to determine where the ruptures might happen, but they
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: still can't predict when.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't even predict weather very good still. You know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we got satellites and all kinds. We can see weather.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I've been amazed, though, at how much better weather has gotten.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. I was impressed. Ann and I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: were just talking about this this morning that we both
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: love rain and you get your hopes up and then
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you're disappointed. They're like, we're going to get rain and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: there could be so much rain and all this rain.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And then and then it's a little drizzle. Yesterday was good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yesterday was good. And you could hear it on the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: rooftop and you could hear all that. It was good.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And even my wife, who is son, son, son, going
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to have son, son, son. She was like, wow, this
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is coming down. And the first thing Max said in
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the morning, our son, can you light a fire? Can
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I have hot cocoa? I'm like, hell yes, boy. We're
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: going to do both those things. In perpetude. But yeah,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: they are getting better. I agree because they kind of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: it was supposed to end at two yesterday in our neighborhood.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And it went on through the night, big time. And
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: this morning. All right. I think Handel talked about this
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: some weeks ago about, you know, you have a college
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: age kid and they're getting letters of acceptance from colleges
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: that they didn't even apply to. And this is because
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: schools are increasingly agreeing just to admit people, students, based
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: on a handful of criteria. High school transcripts, these are known,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: this whole system is known as direct admissions. So these
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: are going out. Some colleges just seeking ways to attract
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: more students, broader financial headwinds, these types of things, gain exposure,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: are sending them out letters saying, you know, hey, come
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: here and maybe even scholarships are involved and stuff like that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of smart. Just say it's because
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it's a process from what I hear. I mean, we're
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a ways away with a nine year old, but not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: as far as one would think, I suppose. All right.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: OK, so Iran is just not backing down. The new
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council says Tehran plans
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to announce an exclusion zone outside the Strait of Hormuz
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: aimed at ships it believes are trying to transit the waterway.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Mohsen Razai's comments came with few details. A day after
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: the U.S. hit three Iranian oil tankers in response to
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Tehran launching ballistic missiles at the U.S. warships, experts called
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the launches a dangerous escalation. The new zone will apparently
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: be announced in the coming days. And the National Security
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Council guy said it will begin from the line of
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the U.S. naval blockade. extend toward the Strait of Hormuz,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and from this side continue into the Persian Gulf. He
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: said any ship that enters this area with the intention
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: of passing through the Strait of Hormuz and is identified
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: will be placed on our sanctions list.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: All righty then. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell agrees on a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: four-year contract extension.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Good for him. Does nothing for us. Good luck.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: There's some new IRS proposals that mean that universities may
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: lose their tax exempt status. The Trump administration unveiled a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: plan to cancel the tax exempt stamp status of universities
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that it says give preferential treatment to minority students. I
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: thought that this had already happened. Could affect up to
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: 18,000 high schools, universities and trade schools. The proposed regulations
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: released by the IRS are aimed at preventing discrimination on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the basis of race. About 750,000 students who qualify for
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: scholarships tied to race, ethnicity or national identity could be affected.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of people.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. Travel restrictions have been placed on U.S.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: government employees in the Mexican border city of Nogales and Sonora. there, Nogales, Sonora.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: According to officials, the U.S. embassy and the consulate there
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in Mexico issued a warning restricting government activity over an
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: unspecified threat in Nogales, Sonora there in Mexico. So that's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: all they say. They're just alerting U.S. citizens of the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: threat and changing in posture. I'm not sure If this
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: is some sort of political positioning of some kind or,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you know, the whispers around it is that cartels are
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: smuggling fuel from the U.S. into Mexico. And this illicit
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: trade is becoming big money making there. All right. Amy,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: our last one. Look at that. We finished.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Looky there.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Like prose.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner has won an Emmy. Of course, it's posthumous.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: But they did the, they used to be called the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Creative Arts Emmys. They were done about a week before.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Now I'm calling them the Early Emmys. But they did
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a ceremony last night. And he won posthumously for his
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: performance in The Bear. He made an appearance there. So
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: he won that. And it's the first posthumous Emmy winner
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: in an acting category since 1995 when Raul Julia won
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: for his performance in the TV movie The Burning Season.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Very talented guy. You remember him?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Very, very talented.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Julie Andrews also won, not posthumously, thankfully, also won an
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: award at the Emmys last night for her voiceover in Bridgerton.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've never seen that show.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: No, I hear it's fantastic.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It is fantastic. It's kind of a chick flicky show.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I get that vibe, but I'm all right with that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm in touch with my feminine side.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I just did right now. Touched my feminine side.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: OK. Well, good for Rob Reiner. That's good. And they
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: go for like three days or something. Don't those? What,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the awards?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Well, they did awards last night and then they do
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the main broadcast, which is the bigger awards. Those happen
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: a week from today.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: All righty. And that there has been your handle on
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the news. Stick around. We have a whole show for you.
