  Speaker 2: You are? Yeah, you want to say, is that as
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a reflective service surface? Just because just because I shave it, well,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: even if you don't shave it, you don't have much there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: He's got who you and I cannot talk?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Will Hello, mister Pott calling the kettle black?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I honestly I listen. I don't deny it. The
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: only time I have ever done something about it is
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I know. I started going bald when I was like
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: twenty three years old, so by the time about thirty. Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and so when I had the unwatchable television show that
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: once it was done contract signed the showrunner, the guy
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: who was running the show or had set it up.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It was a Disney show. They actually have a reality division.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It is horrible anyway, So he comes to me. He
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: said to me, Bill, the suits would you consider I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: mean he was obviously he sort of knew what was happening.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Would you consider I mean, they liked you to try.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Would you consider wearing a wig? And then he backed
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: away immediately because knowing that I would probably punch him.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And to his surprise, I said, yeah, I'll do it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I'll do it. But here is the only way I
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: will do it. Is it has to be a thirty
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: dollars wig. It can't actually match my hair color, so
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you can clearly see that it's a wig. Oh and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: by the way, it has to be when I put
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it on in front of the camera, it has to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: be off just enough so people don't know exactly what's happening,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: but they know there's something wrong there. Well, and that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that conversation ended right there, I.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Mean we were we made out of squirrel.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Other than that, it has to look like a crab
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that's going to just walk off the top of my head.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: So no, it didn't work that way. Okay, Now, good morning,
• 2:33

• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And my question is has it come out officially

• 4:43
  Speaker 2: any other any other answer there. Cardiac arst Yeah, as
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a result of.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: A potential overdose. Okay, not necessarily suicide.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: No, it could not. And that's true. That's true, And
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking, uh, is it suicide? You're right, could
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: be just a you're.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Saying toxicology reports are not due back for what they're
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: saying months other than I got to talk back from
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: someone who said, well, I work in a hospital and
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: we get toxicology back in like an hour, So I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: not sure what's going on with that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And unless there is such a backlog, it doesn't matter.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You can sit and wait forever. All right, guys, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: think we're done with the show. I'm there, right, It's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: been fun. Tomorrow go back to sleep. You guys take
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it from here.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, it's nothing new.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: No, it's nothing new at all. You know, this year
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'm getting a lot of grief because this year I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: not going to be Apostathon. It'll be the first year
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: since we started doing it that I'm not going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: be broadcasting Apothespostathon, and I feel bad about it. Actually, Neil, Neil,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you'll be broad You'll you'll be doing the broadcast. I think, Yes,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of course I will. Yeah, you will, Okay. I just
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: mentioning that because I'm getting from various people who are
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: not particularly happy that I'm not going to be there
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: because and here I am blowing my own horn, is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that we do better when I am there, But then
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I beg a lot more, man, I am please, get please,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: kids are starving. Nobody else will do that around here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You won't lower yourselves.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: And wait, how do you know if you do better
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: when you're here, if you've always been there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. So I'm making an assumption. Now
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you something. I'll tell you when we did
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: better when we didn't broadcast from Pastathon, we did better,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: We raised more money.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Not during the pandemic.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no, Also, I think the last couple of years,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: no we did broadcasts the last couple of years.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: We only didn't do it during the pandemic, right, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: that's why everybody was stuck at home and had no
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: way to spend any money that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They Oh, that's a good point too, all right, you're
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: just analyzing the crap out of there and just you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: basically destroying all my arguments. And I don't know that,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't know the answer to that. I really don't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So with that, let's begin the news. Boy, was that
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: really good? I analyzed the crap out of that one,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: none of which made any sense. Okay, guys, ready to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: do it? It is time for handle on the news,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Amy Neil and me Lea Storry.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Well, the sixty day piece that was going under that
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: memorandum understanding, Remember the sixty days it was gonna be
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a cease fire. It was, it's the time is over now.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know why anybody's paying attention to it because
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it never happened. And the President, all through the peace agreement,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: if you will, memorand of understanding, kept on saying I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: gonna bomb Iran. I'm gonna bomb Iran if they don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: come to the table over and over again, and now
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: he is not going to bomb Iran. Now he can
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: just take his time. He has no rush, So we'll
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: see what happens on that one. And of course now
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a'man is on the table. But anyway, the President still
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: maintains that there are negotiations going on, back channel negotiations
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: going on, and that the Iranians want to come to
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the table, are desperate to have a some kind of
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a deal, and the only people that are saying you're
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: crazy are the Iranians. And so we were talking.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: To Geordannah Miller in Jerusalem and she said, the Iranians
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: are saying, oh, you still need to extend the memo
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: of understanding.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But see, the longer the Iranians are not stupid here,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the longer that this quote peace or truce goes on,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the more the president is in trouble because he promised
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: there would not be forever wars and this thing is
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: really stretching out big time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Trump even has even said several times that Iran's negotiators
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: are really good. He's like, they know what they're doing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's true, and they're not paying attention that Okay.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: With that in mind, what is the negotiation. Standard tactic
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on the US just make threats, make threats, and does
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: anybody take the president seriously at this point? Not until
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: there's an attack. And if there's an attack, look what
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: happens to the President of the Republicans politically. It's he's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: put himself into a quagmire. There's no question about it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, he has no really good way to end
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: this other than the Iranians accepting what he calls an
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: immediate surrender, the wave the white flag of surrender, which
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: isn't going to happen anytime soon. Okay, I'll do more
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: of that seven o'clock.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Mayor Basque got punked and in turn kind of punked
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: us too. There was a poll released earlier this month
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: that showed La Mayor Bass had a twelve percent lead
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: over city council member Nthia Rahman in the race for mayor,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: which will be decided in November. Median Strategies put out
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the poll. Bass posted it on her social media and said,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: doing the work, showing up and gaining momentum, let's do
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: this La. Well, the only problem is the poll was fake,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and Median Strategies came out and said, yeah, it was fake.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: It was supposed to be a short term social experiment
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: to examine how polling information could enter and then be
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: spread through the political information ecosystem without being vetted.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Is a media strategy a pole company? Is it in
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: any way legitimate in the sense of recognized by politicos
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and the news media.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Well that's the problem. It wasn't vetted and they weren't vetted.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: So Median Strategies is apparently a real company. But don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: know if they've put up poles before.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: That was right, So they sirm made it up. Okay,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: fair enough.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I see her at one billion percent above Anthea
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Ramen from my poll right this second, that I just made.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: All right, why don't we go ahead and take a break.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: You made that up, Neil, Yeah, yeah, Okay.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Jeanie got thrown under the bus and she's coming out.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on now.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss is opposing the potential
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: sale of her family's stake in the NBA team, contradictory
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: contradicting an earlier as ESPN report about the family's decision
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: to sell Bob Iker to Bob Biker and Joshua Kushner.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: So this all comes down. I think they have seventeen
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: point eight percent, almost eighteen percent of ownership interest in
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: the LA Lakers. But she is, and I think that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: in perpetuity the governor, which means she has the say
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: over her other family members, which are fundly named Jim, John, Janey, Joey,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: and Jesse. So she has the right to say.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: No, and they're but they're filing a lawsuit and the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: argument is going to be, is she saying no in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: detriment to their interestsins? They are also beneficiary. So it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a legal issue, and uh, we'll see which way it goes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: But believe me, the court is going to make that decision.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, but why have a governor or someone in that
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: position if they don't have some power or authority.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Open because somebody someone has to be a trustee. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: effect effectively it's a trust. I mean, that's the closest
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: analogy I can make. And if you are the trustee,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: for example, and I am a beneficiary under the trust,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: under the trust, and you are making decisions that are
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: to my detriment which you shouldn't be doing, I'm taking
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you to court. That's it. If you put yourself above
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: my interests. We're going to court. That's the way. That's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the way I read it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Got anything else to say about it? Nope, Okay, a
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: whole new kind of hazing. This is bad, oh, Pennsylvania.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Pennsylvania's Attorney Generals is more than a dozen current or
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: former penn State students are facing drug trafficking charges. The
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: students members of fraternities, mainly Delta Upsilon and Sigma Kai,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: two of my favorites at Oregon State. Yeah that's Sigma High.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, So the criminal complaint says that large amounts of
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: cocaine kilos we're brought from Philadelphia to New York to
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: State College where they were cut and packaged for sale,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: primarily sold to penn State students and guests. Who was
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: doing the cutting and distributing fraternity brothers and many times
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the pledges those are the ones who aren't members yet
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: they want to become members of the.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Fraternity and told to do this, I guess, But I mean,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: this was a big deal of operation. When you're starting
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to do kilos of this stuff, that ain't small potatoes anymore.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: The Justice Department finalized a rule Monday that would pave
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: the way for people who've been barred from owning firearms
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: because of criminal convictions. I think it has to be
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: a major offense there, but not a violent one from owning.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: They've been barred to own firearms because of criminal convictions there,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: and they could have their gun rights reinstated. This has
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: been around before, right built. Wasn't there a time when
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: you could approach.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Or you can always approach, You always are able to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: approach and ask for it?
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And when's the armance here?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It depends on their state law and there's federal law.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: States also have the right to say no. For example,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: California has much stricter gun laws than does than do
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the feds. Ample a cell type weapons are banned, a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: certain amount of ammunition that a magazine can hold, that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: sort of thing.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It's more difficult.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But what the Feds are saying, as far as they're concerned,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: is that felons heretofore which were not allowed to own guns.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But that was not the law that was I could
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: have been federal law, but the Trump administration wants to
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: change it. I get this question all the time. One
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: can handle on the law constantly. I'm a felon and
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to get a gun, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I said, come on, you know, at what point do
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you not need a gun? Well, I need a gun
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: to commit another felony. Well that's not what they say,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but what.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: They have to not be violent felonies.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That's correct, And yeah, up to this point, and this
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is what that's going to happen. But now, up to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: this point, it's been very, very difficult, and what the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Trump administration wants is to open it up. Yeah, if
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: it's a violent felony, there's still say.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I know, Jared and Bibi had a little sick down.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Jared Kushner met with Hamas and then the president's son
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: in law and Mideast negotiator sat down with Israeli Prime
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Minister Benjamin nettan Yahoo in Jerusalem, trying to work out
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: how they're going to move forward with Gaza, because there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: a fifteen point piece plan put forward by the President
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and I believe it was last week. Net and Yaho
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: came out and said, now we're not abiding by that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: And an issue is Israel pulling forces back and Hamas
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: giving up control and both neither shoving their weapons and
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: neither one wants to do that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And we're hearing they made good progress. That's a bunch
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: of crap. Now my question is when Jared sat down
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: with Kamas leadership, did they eat homos with hamaslicious? Yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: there's a question.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: So it is something that is not going away.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, record share of kindergarteners in the United States had
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: an exemption for a required vaccination last school year. As
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: the Trump Administration of courses continues to make moves to
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: reduce the number of vaccinations recommended for children. We know
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: this because this is an executive order that he signed
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: last week wanting to reshape the federal government's approach.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Which he can't do, by the way, he has the ability.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: It's an executive order and you've got the CDC. Whatever
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: recommendations it makes is under the purview of the Secretary
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of Health and Human Services, who is under the purview
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of the president.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: But the states can still make a decision on their.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the states. Actually, anybody can make a decision. These
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: are simply recommendations. There's nothing mandated here. But the point
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: is when the government, when the government recommends, and in
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: this case, when the govern the president says and the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: reason I'm doing this is because of the connection to autism,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: which of course there is no connection at all, but
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It's not going to bode well. You're
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: going to see you. For example, measles, you know, a
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: huge increase in the number of measles cases, the vast
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: majority which the kids were not vaccinated, like ninety something percent.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: You can still theoretically get measles after having vaccinated, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: very little chance. If you're not vaccinated. There is an
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: excellent chance you're going to get measles if you're exposed
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Ensuring ICE, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is pitching a
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: plan to help shield police officers who make immigration arrests.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: So the idea is to subsidize liability insurance for state
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and local officers who are trained and deputized to enforce
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: federal immigration law. Officers would get their insurance that would
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: cover them up to five hundred thousand dollars for personal liability,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: which would fund legal fees, settlements, and judgments, and then
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: officers would get reimbursed up to two hundred and fifty
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: dollars a year, which is about what the insurance would
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: cost them. A prominent critic of ICE's immigration crackdown says
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: the program would be yet another way for officers to
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: avoid personal accountability for misconduct.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the question is is it going to
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: open up where officers think they have more leeway to
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: violate the law or be more aggressive in their policing.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Don't know the answer to that. We're not going to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: know the answer until it happens. If it happens, when
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: it happens, the possibility of it happening maybe.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Kind of excellent insights, sir, sort of done now I'm done. Yeah, okay.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Sixteen year old lifeguard writer Williams. If you remember back
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: on July twenty fifth, very dramatic and viral now viral
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: video of him rescuing Nathaniel rah Raye that Nathaniel Raie
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: was ten years old, is ten years old and was
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: caught in the treacherous surf there and this young lifeguard
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: just bounced into action, got out there, held on to him,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: very very brave. This took place in Santa Cruz, California. Well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: he has been recognized by the oval.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Of office, which is kind of neat.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: It's kind of super cool because it's an incredibly heroic video.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's his job, but still it was pretty heroic.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're supposed to jump income hell or high water.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: That's why they call them lifeguards as opposed to desk
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: guards and watching people die talk show hosts that can't talk.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that's correct, So that's correct. And yes, that's
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: absolutely correct. And I think he received an honor from
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the president, some kind of a medal for heroism. That
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: was a lifeguard. The kid received the I almost metal
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: from the President, which is one of the most sought
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: after metals that you can get.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a pretty magical moment. Very good,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: juke ban you running.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Out of water. Lakes Powell and Mead, which are the
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: country's two largest reservoirs, are drying up, which could create
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: a huge crisis for water and electricity. Water levels in
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Lake Powell, along the Utah Arizona border fell to a
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: record low Saturday. Lake Mead dropped to its lowest recorded
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: point a week earlier. This could threaten farms across Arizona, Nevada,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: southern California, where they haven't seen so little water since
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: nineteen fifty seven, before Lake Powell was filled.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those reservoirs are getting close to becoming deadpools, which
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: is pretty scary. Stuff, and which the level of water
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: so low that the pump are not able to get
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the water out of the lake and move down towards
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the turbines. And that means electricity stops that moment as
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: soon as it hits deadpool, which is it's pretty scary
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: stuff because we get an enormous amount of electricity from
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Hoover Dam, the damn at Lake Mead.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: All right, WEIMO.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's pretty easy to think you got another
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: system or a competitor out there. It's going to eat
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: into others. And they're saying that Weimo is eating into
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: the ride hailing market in some cities.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: But there's not the fallout.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: It's not like a immediate Okay, there's a bunch of
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: gig economy people out of work right now. One professor
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: that looks over this and studied says that because driver's
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: supply is kind of flexible, the beginning effects that we're
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: going to see are going to show up in different things.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: They call them utilization, So longer waits between fewer trips
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: per hour, possibly more unpaid repositioning they call it. But
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: you're not going to see it just like right out,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: whether it's going to start like a flood of people
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: being laid off. But this happens anytime you bring another
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: system into or another option into a system.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday and we talked about I never have seen
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a Weaimo until a few days ago when I saw
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: two of them driving around and you you said that
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: you have taken Waimo's before many times.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: I've taken them in San Francisco a bunch of times.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I take them all the time, not.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Taking Waimo, and I'm really looking forward to because I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: believe in it. I'm not frightened at all. I'm more
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: frightened about taxi drivers or you know what uber bill
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: or uber or lyft drivers. I'm more fear of, fear
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: full of those.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: It's fascinating when you do take one. You can set
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: the screen. You can set the screen to show you
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: what the car sees. And at night, it sees people
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: that I can't see, and it shows up on the
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: screen as a little yellow They show up as yellow,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: you know, human shapes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Is it kind of like the Tesla screens where it
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: shows you what's going on all around the car?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. And it's and it's bizarre because I'm driving
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: on a dark street with very few lights, and it
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: sees all the people that I can't see on the
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: sidewalk crossing the street and everything. So that blew me
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: away right there, and it automatically told me that it
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: was safer.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: She's not exactly in the inner circle anymore, but former
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says the Trump administration is
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: considering possible nuclear actions against Eran.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Where does she get this, I don't know. Yeah, she's
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: not even she's not in congress. Trump doesn't talk to her.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: She's on the outs, and all of a sudden she
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: has this information. I find that a little strange.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: She says she was discussing or that the Trump administration
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: was discussing using nuclear weapons on Iron during recent strategy meetings.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: She said, yes, you read that correctly. It's real. I'm
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: not speculating, I know, And she said it's pure evil.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: The White House responded, calling her Marjorie quitter Green and
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: said she was completely out of the loop on this one.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would guess that she's out of the loop.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I would tend to say, even if it was true,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, her making that claim, I don't give that
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of credence.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: I think it was a missed opportunity to call her
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Marjorie Trader Green.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, which she uh yeah, which I think has happened.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: To blows off the tongue, does Paramount. You're gonna have
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: to explain this a little bit.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Bill.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: This gets tiny bit wonky. But Paramount wants the States
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: that are suing over the Warner Brothers Discovery deal to
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: post a one point nine billion bond, which apparently can
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: be common in these types of case.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: So the States are claim to this and it reeks
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: of desperation.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And here's what that's about, is that the States are
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: asking that the deal be basically scoffed or just not scoffed.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm looking for exactly. Basically, be the deal
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: be not allowed, right, deal'll be put on ice permanently.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: So with that, there is also a ticking amount of
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: money that Paramount is going to is going to have
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to pay Warner Brothers seven million dollars a day or
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: something starting September thirtieth. And what Paramount is saying is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to be paying this amount of money and
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: when it goes through, we want that money from the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: States because you're the ones that tried to stop us illegally,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: assuming that they win in the courts, because it's now
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: in the courts and they're going to go for the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: States saying, hey, you know you screwed us. We paid
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: all this money for no reason whatsoever because of what
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you did. You guys pay and this is a bond
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: that guarantees that that that's going to be paid.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: So the judge at this point will make the decision
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: whether that's legitimate, that's a legitimate request or not.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: That is part that's another part of the case. Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and the judge, And yeah, the Warner Brothers Discovery is
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: just saying come out or the States are saying, give
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: me a break.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: But it would have to show that they didn't have
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: reasonable cause.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it does, Yeah, it does. That's and that's
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the argument. That's the argument.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Uh, is Jimmy going down?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: The House Ethics Committee says it's investigating Democratic Representative Jimmy
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Gomez from Los Angeles for ledged sexual misconduct. They say
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: he engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with a house staffer.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: He was apparently spotted in twenty twenty three kissing a
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: much younger staffer from another officer. That's according to CNN.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: The House Ethics Committee later discovered other allegations. He has
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: acknowledged that he made personal mistakes outside his marriage, but
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: said that everything was consensual in nature.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now here's my question about this. Okay, he's been
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: accused of whatever, and he is saying, let's say that
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: that would just for the benefit of a given the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt for a moment, that he has
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: made personal mistakes outside of his marriage. Let's start with
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: the fact that this was a staffer in another office,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: so he had no ability. She was not a subordinate
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: to him, He had no ability to affect her being
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: fired or given promotion or whatever. And it was a
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: consensual adult Whose business is it of anybody? You've got
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: a married guy who is stooping someone who is not
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: in any case going to be harmed one way or
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the other by having an affair with him. How about
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: it's done of your damn business. That's all, thank you.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: And I think he was an idiot for saying personal
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: mistakes outside of my marriage. I would have said, it's
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: none of your business. It's none And how many, by
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the way, how many of those congress people have had
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: an affair or two. What do you think? So there
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm still doing the math.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah, and it's going to take you a while.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you to do the counting. So anyway,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: that's you know, I'm having a hard time with getting
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: into people's sexual lives. I really don't. I've never appreciated
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: if you've been listening to this show since I started broadcasting.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: You know, if you want to have sex with a kangaroo,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: as long as it's an adult, consenting kangaroo, it's nobody's business.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: ConA yeah, kono adult and consenting. Yeah, it has to
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: be adult and consenting. Yeah, So you can't sexually molest kangaroos,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and you certainly can't do it underage. Okay, we're done, guys,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: coming up the irandial right, that cease fire, that truce
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: which ended? What cease fire? What truth? Exactly? I'm going
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: to cover that when we come back. This is KFI
• 30:07
