  Speaker 1: I was talking to my trainer yesterday and I said
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that I've been on the air it'll be what thirty
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: three thirty four years in the morning, and I said,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't quite gotten all the technology on, but I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: just learned to do a couple of things, for example,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: put the on button on. Not always but sometimes.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: My favorite part this morning was you asking Cono as
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: your opening music is starting, Hey, ConA, how much time
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I have?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't hear the opening music because that's true
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because I've I'm I'm going to cook something in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: air fryer, so I have to figure out. I was
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: going to time it a little bit and I got
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a little screwed up. Okay, now let me say hello
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to the entire crowd here cono, good morning, Good morning, William. Oh,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: how's car doing? By the way, Car's great? Is it?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Car's running? Have you figured out? Well? Thank you? Have
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you figured out the mileage yet? Miles parra miles per gallon?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't you go over this? No? No, you said we didn't.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And if we did, I forgot And if we did
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: half an hour ago, that's a fair point. It's twenty
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: nine highway. Okay, it's not terrible. No. Yeah, you could
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have gotten a Prius, which is fifty five. Could have
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gotten a Prius. But if you wanted but you wanted
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: an SUV, I'm assuming.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Right, No, I just had better financing because I have
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a cousin that works in the car dealership.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, fair enough? All right? And then Amy,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: good morning, Hi Bill?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Horrible will coach Rider, Good morning, Good morning Bill. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: there's the infamous Neil. Hello, good morning, the one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: And the only, uh and the Millennium Falcon.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's in the Millennium Falcon. Yeah, background is the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Millennium falcon. Yeah, good morning, Bill, Good morning everybody. Oh yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we've got the big story yesterday was Pam BONDI I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: had the time my life watching her. You know, as
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I said during the course of her testimony in front
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee, which actually has nothing to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: do with any investigative policy. It's supposed to be investigative
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: as crap. It's just a political dogged pony show. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: had said before we started listening to her, I had
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: said that you're not going to hear much other than
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Republicans saying how great she is and the great
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: leadership of President Trump. Here's what we've done. And on
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Democratic side, just rip into her. Why don't you resign,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: apologize to those people behind you, accept responsibility for everything
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you did wrong. I mean, it's just I have some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: ideas of what should have happened. If I were king
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of the world, if I were head of the Democratic Party,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: if I were hot King, Jeffries, I would tell you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: what exactly to do, and I think it would answer
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all the questions. And that's coming up at seven o'clock.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. So we'll do that by
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the way if you miss any part of the show.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: For example, Joel Larsgard is coming award at eight o'clock
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk some financial stuff as we do.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If you're not listening, you can listen to it on
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a podcast. Feel free. I just go to the iHeartRadio
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: app and podcast this show or any segment of this show,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and you'll get any segment of this show or all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of this show, segment by segment, every segment. Yeah, okay,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I actually hit a paycheck for this. You know that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I know that's hard to believe, but I do. All right?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: What else is going on? Ask handle anything we do
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: every Friday? We need your phone calls for that. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it's all about embarrassing me. We started that several months
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: ago and it's hugely successful. And the way it works
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is you have to ask the questions. So you go
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app during the show, which means this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: show is being broadcast or streamed or whatever they do
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: with it. Highly technical ability to understand this stuff. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: am Sam, I am, and then you simply record a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: question microphone in the uper right hand corner after you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: start listening to the show on the device, and then
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you asked the question. We record it ten or fifteen
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: seconds and you get to record the questions that I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get to answer them, and Neil chooses the question that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: was absolutely brilliant my discussion and how I present that again.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I was going through some calls and teetering on a few.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: It happens every week. There's a couple that I go so,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna make it. We got
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to start putting those on the podcast, the ones that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You know you're right. We've talked about that and we
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: should add to the podcast. We're going to make that happen.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: One questions, the questions that you cannot put on the air.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That we can do whatever we want because the FCC
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: has no control over podcasts zero. So we can use
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: all manner of descriptions and talk about clinical issues and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: talk about clinical issues with our bodies. And let's go
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: right to the news. Is that okay, everybody, It's time
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for handle on the news with Amy, Neil and me.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Lead story. Ah, yeah, it's the Pam Bondi story. She
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was what five hours in front of the House Judiciary
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Committee and was railed into by the Democrats and was
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: held up to the highest standards of professionality and ethics,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and the greatest human being that ever lived, according to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the Republicans, And I'm going to do plenty more of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that at seven am this morning.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: There was a slight difference in the questions because you'd
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: go from her just being put over the barrel and beat,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and then it would get to the Republicans. They like
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Attorney General Pam BONDI, you look great, have you lost weight?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Wearing today? All right back to you. It was you
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: could see a little bit of different.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just a little bit. And there weren't too many
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: questions that were asked. Who was the congress person that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: went through a whole litany? Isn't it true that under
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden the will fell apart? Yes? Isn't it true
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that under Joe and the Biden Harris both sides are
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: so stupid.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I know they're trying to rail into her about things,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I know, like an angry dog.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting though, like Jamie Raskin was
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: just going off and scolding her and saying, don't try
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: to pull this, don't you don't you talk back to us,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: and then she just tore into him and he goes,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I told you not to do that, and she's like,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: you don't tell me what to do. I mean, it
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: wasn't all out battle. This was entertaining.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: What happened now you started all that, you know, really
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: started that big time was Marjorie Taylor Green who just
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: any time. I mean, when you go to the State
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of the Union and you start screaming liar as the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: president is speaking, you know, you're on a whole new
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: level of politics. And I think from that came a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: lot of it came what happened yesterday with Pam BONDI
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I tell you, coming in at seven o'clock, I'm going
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to do this and I have an answer. I definitely
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: have an answer for this problem, and we'll move on
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Breaking ranks, six Republicans join nearly all the Democrats in
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: backing a resolution to rescind tariffs that President Trump imposed
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: on our neighbors to the North Canada. The vote was
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: two nineteen to two eleven. It did pass the House,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: but it's got a rather uncertain future in the Senate
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: because it would have to pass the Senate and then
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: President Trump would have to sign it, and since he
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: opposed the tariffs, probably.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Not great deal, and you need a two thirds vote
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to override the veto, and two nineteen to eleven does
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: not quite make two thirds, so its symbolic. Yeah, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: any pushbacks good pushbacks At this point, I don't think
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: any pushback matters. At this point. The only pushback is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: going to happen with Trump is going to be the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: courts and or time time heals everything, especially three years
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: as far as the Democrats are concerned, there's the time limit.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: This one takes me back to the OJ days. So
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the FBI.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Obviously looking for Nancy Guthrie, still doing some searching around
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the roadway. I think it's within a couple of miles
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: or so near Nancy Guthrie's home, and they found a
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: black glove. And you remember, Bill, you were talking about
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: the videotape and how yeah the guy had or the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: video from videotape, the video from the nest camera and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that he was wearing these black gloves and so nothing
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: else has really come out of that yet at this point.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: But it don't remind you have all the evidence that
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: came out after Oh yeah, do you remember.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: The OJ trial. If the glove doesn't fit, you must
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: have quit. And this one is the glove was found
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there just a few days so it has not started
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: decomposed yet, and we're going to hear. If the glove
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: don't rot, then you've got something nice. You remember the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: other one, OJ's black, So take it back? Yeah, yeah
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: it was?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Are you kidding?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I don't remember that one.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember it. I don't know.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: It's like he's black, even though evidence points to him.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Take it back. Ok yeah, I mean, is there any
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: issue that he did it? We can go into another's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: there's a poll for you. Okay, moving on.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, before we move on, just quick new information that
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: now they Pima County Sheriff this morning is asking people
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: to check their their doorbell cameras for January thirty first,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: which was the night that she was supposedly dropped off
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: at her house before being taken early the next morning,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and also from back on January eleventh, which is almost
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: three weeks before. Interesting, I know, right, So.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: There is some information. They're not releasing a lot of information.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They're keeping it very close to the vest what they have,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and TMZ.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Has received a couple of this information to the interesting.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Harvey Levin has been on CNN twenty hours a day.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: He has gotten a lot of a lot of exposure,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to say the least. Not that he needs it, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: he has gotten it because he's the one that's getting
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I think he received a missive from someone that and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he's the only one who received it tmz oh yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: someone not that who has is not the perpetrator or
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the abductor saying this is the way I want to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: get paid. But someone who says knows the abductor or
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: knows about them, All right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: You're safe. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Save America Act, has passed in the House. It would
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: require voters to show a government issued ID to cast
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: ballots in federal elections. Now, according to independent experts in
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: voting rights groups, the measure could potentially prevent millions of
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Americans from voting.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Well, of course it can, and so can Not having
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: transportation would stop you from voting. Why do they even
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: have laws that say you have to be a citizen
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to vote? If you never have to prove that you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a citizen, why even bother Now, it turns out that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the number of people who are not citizens that vote
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: are minuscule, But that just so happens. Also, the process
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is going on right now. The argument the administration is
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is arguing that massive numbers of illegal migrants are voting.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I mean huge numbers. What illegal migrant in his or
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: her right mind would ever go to a polling place
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and vote?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Who the hell would ever do that? And we don't
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: think anybody has that idea.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think that there is. There are a few,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: but very rare voting. Yeah, very few. I mean, it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it's not a big problem. Although I completely agree with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: ID for voting Americans do. Yeah, you're a citizen and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you have to be a citizen to vote. Okay, here
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: That's one of those weird things that became political that
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be political.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And you go, what's just I know? The courts, the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: courts have come down and the argument is people who
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: don't have ID should be able to vote. The disenfranchised
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: who have no way of having ID.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Who doesn't have some form of ID.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of homeless people who don't have ID.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: There are people who don't have ideas. Cell phones doesn't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: mean they I mean they have cell phones.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I had to show idea to buy a cell phone.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It's so bizarre. Well you did, and that's okay, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: not for voting. You don't have to show ID. You
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: don't need a cell phone. That's not a basic franchise
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of the United States constitutional. Friends, we know how many
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: homeless people vote? No, we don't know, but we know
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: there is. When they have investigated the accusation of the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: number of people who vote who do not have ID.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Who are the illegal aliens, for example, the number seems
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to be minuscule. No widespread vote homeless people or illegal immigrants.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: You know I do. That's a good point. How about
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: neither one vote very much?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And how accurate would the polls be? First, you said
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: people would have to be crazy to be an illegal
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: immag and try to vote. You tell me an illegal
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: immigrant who say, yeah, I voted.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: That's another one. I will. Here's you find out. It's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: real easy because they just check. Let's say they do
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a random check on X always Hispanic voters, of course,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: because those are quote the only illegal aliens or the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: vast majority of illegal aliens. And you do a random check,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that's all, and to say are they citizens? And you
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: could find out and you extrapolate from there and you
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: get a number you get a statistically accurate number, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you're going to find out which they did that the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: number of people who were not citizens that voted were minuscule.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: There's no widespread vote, because that's the argument that Trump
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: administration made. That was one of the arguments that it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was widespread vote. And so the votes were looked at,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the votes were tabulated, they were audited. So by the way,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that doesn't change that. I think you have to show ID.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question in my mind, or don't
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: even have that law that says Americans said, since are
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the only ones that can vote? All right?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Gov gab News approves ninety million in emergency funds. This
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: is going to go to Planned Parenthood. Of course, the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: federal funds were stripped away from clinics. As a matter
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: of fact, there has been some words. The Planned Parenthood
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: said that at least twenty three of its health clinics
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: have been forced to close in different different locations. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: so this would go ninety million bucks one time of
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: emergency funds for Planned Parenthood and other women's health providers.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: It's tough. I mean, the administration is going after healthcare
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is one of the things that is going to be
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: hit badly and has PBS. Just reading an article in
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the La Times about KCRW, the PBS station in pr station,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and it has fired DJs and its staff, and so,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, social program are on the wayne
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and we have immigration of courses that that is exploded
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in terms of expenditure.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Also at least the public the public radio stations you
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: could donate to you know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, but they're not making it up. I mean,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they're at this point. They're not making it up because
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: they rely on federal money for a great part of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: their income. So now they have to scramble, and one
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of the ways they scramble is to fire people, cut expenses.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: We don't do that here, of course. Not Okay, moving on,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: it's just.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Fun, not addictive. Okay, that might be a simplification. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Adam Mussey, who's the head of Instagram, took the stand
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: in that landmark social media trial that's happening in La
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: that and says he disagrees with the idea that people
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: can be clinically addicted to social media platforms. Of course,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: the plaintiffs, nineteen year old from northern California, is trying
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: to hold the social media companies responsible for harms to
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: children who use their platforms. Maseri says it's important to
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: differentiate between clinical addiction and what he called problematic use.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Do you think his credibility was questioned when he said
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: nicotine was not addictive, nor opiates. None of that is
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: addictive either.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: He also said, I'm invisible. You can't see me. You
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: can't see me. You can't see me.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I thought we'll see where that one goes.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is sucky, but I guess rules are rules.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: You had this Ukrainian what they call those skeleton sliders
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: in the Olympics.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: You missed one.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You missed one. Pass forward revocations. Oh is that really Yeah?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see the big A next to that one.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just figured that's me.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought it meant ass So I okay, excellent, Okay,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: So I'm sorry, I saw I read that wrong. All
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: righty us. The passport, this has actually been on the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: books for a long time since the nineties, as a
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, and that is that they could revoke
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: your passport if you owe child support. And I think
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the break point there is about twenty five hundred bucks.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: If you own twenty five hundred bucks or more back
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: since nineteen ninety six, federal legislation said they could go
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: ahead and take your passport away so that you couldn't
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: flee or go anywhere else. Well, that usually meant if
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: you went to renew it. And now they're saying no,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: they're going to go in and if you owe money,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: they're going to go in and just start taking them away.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and not only I completely agree with this. First
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of all, it's the law which has not been enforced heretofore,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and this is the Department of State department saying hey,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and this is, by the way, the law. In terms
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of the policy. The policy of the law is we
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: like to keep families together, and we like parents to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: pay for their kids. That's a basic policy issue. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: if one of the tools paying for kids is taking
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: away passports when you haven't paid for the kids, makes
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: sense to me. I'm just fine with that. And now
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they're starting actually to be affected. Only people are one
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in past due money and you have
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to pay or set up a payment plan. So I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think this is a great move by the Trump administration
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and it should be. I think they're following what public
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: policy should be and that is taking care of kids
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is paramount, and then your ability to get a passport
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is secondary to that. No issue with that one, okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Disqualified Ukrainian skeleton slider Vladislav Harskevitch has been disqualified from
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the Winter Olympics because he refused to adhere to the
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: IOCs Athletic Expression guidelines. And what he is doing or
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: has been doing, is wearing a helmet that has the
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: pictures of twenty two athletes who've been killed in the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: war between Ukraine and Russia. They said, you can't wear that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: It goes against guidelines. He said, I'm I get it,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: but I'm wearing it. This is important for me and
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: my countryman. The head of these met with the skeleton
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: slider and they couldn't come to an agreement. She said, Nobody,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: especially me, is disagreeing with the messaging. It's a powerful message,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: but it violates regulations.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're right, they're right. Then you are open to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: all kinds of political statements on the helmet side. They're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely right, and you've got to give him some credit
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: saying I am I'm holding firm. And so there were
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: no other outcamp have you seen skeleton. By the way,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: how skeleton works, It's a little sled. This basically looks
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like a yea, you know, your flyer's sled and you're
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: going down this shoot like the Bob sled, shoot at
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: ninety miles an hour with your head three inches off
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the ground.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: So the difference between skeleton and loge is that skeleton
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: you go face first.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's it. Yeah, face first, isn't that special.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what ninety miles an hour looks like.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Three inches off the ground. That zips by pretty quickly.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure which one's better, because if you're doing
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: it feet first, all you get to do is see
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: your feet shatter into you.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: You're true or your head explode. Now, yeah, you take
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: your chances either way. Okay, So the FDA, I guess, is.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Starting to do what they said they were going to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: do under the new RFK look at things. So you
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: got the Food and Drug Administration refusing to review Moderna's
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: application for its seasonal flu vaccine, so.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: That this all has to go. This goes back to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the m r an A on r RNA. Yeah. Yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: there's a whole world to this and I'm gonna I'm
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: gonna cut you short on this one because I'm doing
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: this at seven fifty and diving in and I want
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: to get some stories in there. So Neil, if you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: don't mind, we're gonna move ahead, because frankly, you have
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: nothing to add no your show, sir, well, no, what's yeah?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: But also you know we bring you in to explain
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and give your view, no matter how to elselessuse. Okay,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: fair enough.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Sad news and an opportunity to provide an important reminder.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Seems like we've been talking about this a lot this week.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: James van Derbeek, the star of Dawson's Creek, has died.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: He was just forty eight years old. He had colorectal cancer,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: and he announced that. He announced it in November of
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. Apparently he was diagnosed in August of
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty three.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, so he was four five at that point when
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it was diagnosed as cancerous. Had he gotten a colonoscopy
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: sometime before that? But you know, look at the age
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: issues the baseline exactly. That's the point. So is the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: baseline in order to make sure this doesn't happen, because
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it's easily correctable or easily averted simply by a colonoscopy,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: where the which I just had and Amy she's had twice.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I was doing a little snip snip yeah.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, well they cut paulops off and it's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: easily averted. So you know, is the new baseline thirty five?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Is it thirty or.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Just recently lowered it to forty five?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Right? And it could be that this is so uniquely,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: such a unique affliction at that point. As for example,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: let's say someone gets coorectal cancer at age two, does
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that mean that at fifteen you get at kolonoscopy? They
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: could numbers they get. Yeah, it could be so unique.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's when I'm mentioning that it really statistically it doesn't
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: make sense to have a kolonoscopy at forty well at
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: forty five, yeah, should have happened.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but when he was diagnosed in twenty twenty three,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out, I remember when they changed
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: that standard to oh just live. I mean it's been
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: within the last year or two.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, absolutely, and because of issues like this.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Sad, Yeah, it's very sad.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Go get your kolonoscopy, Okay, police are identifying that suspect
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: in that crazy Canadian mass shooting. They identified the subject.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: They're eighteen year old.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: This eighteen year old killed her mother, her stepbrother before
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: fatally shooting several others at that local school children between
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: the ages of twelve and thirteen. And and I guess
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: there was eight people they originally said nine. But the
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: interesting thing here, obviously that's going to get attention is
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: this individual, Jesse Van root Cellar, was biologically born a male,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: began transitioning to females six years ago. The house, the
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: home was not unfamiliar with law enforcement. I guess they
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: had some mental health issues, self harm stuff where law
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: enforcement was called to the home throughout the years.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But and look, look how weird the story is. First
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of all, it's a girl who did the shooting. It's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: almost never a girl.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: But it was a biological boy.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I'll grant you that. And people in Canada don't have guns.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: There's very strict gun controls. So you put all of
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that together and what he and mental illness, you know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you get situations like that aberrational. I mean shootings and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: schools for us happen every day. You know, it's just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it happens like going to Starbucks. I mean, it's of course,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: just of course of doing business here. But this is
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a very unusual story. Okay, we are dead dead dead
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: with the hour. I don't know why I'm saying dead
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: dead dead. I don't know the next story I was
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do say, you know, I tell you why.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Sandy Steers had died and she was in charge, as
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Amy had pointed out, Yeah, I know, well she had
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: died because well she was the head of executive director
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: of friends Big Bear Valley, and this is the people
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: with the what the eagle cam that Amy follows.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, she was actually one of the people who spearheaded
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: getting the camera up in the nest back in like
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, and it's a reason we have an opportunity
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: to watch Jackie in Shadow.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: She died of bird flu, which is really.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, but obviously Lee, she's a big hero to cat
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: ladies everywhere.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, there you go. Okay, we're done.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Guys, She's like hundreds of thousands of people who catch ladies.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I get it, Yeah, I get it, you know, right, Okay, Yeah,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: she's great and beloved it Big Bear And there's you know.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Ironically enough, right down the hill there's Kentucky Fried Eagle.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? What's with you now? That's come
• 28:25
