• 8:33
  Speaker 6: I actually I believe that.

  Speaker 1: With you, Neil. All right, guys, let me think what
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: else is going on other than the good mornings. Let
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: me see what we talked about, how fat will is?
• 8:44
  Speaker 12: Uh? Talked about how you're going to take twenty five
• 8:48
  Speaker 12: weeks of vacation this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah this year. Oh, I'm booking a cruise with
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: my daughter Pamela. We've never done a cruise together, just
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the two of us, and it's a foodie cruise. She
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is as you know, she is a foodie and we're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: going to take a food cruise out of Miami the Caribbean.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been to the Caribbean taking one of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: those cruises of the Caribbean. They go to all these
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: islands and the islands are exactly the same.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: They sell the same thing, the people wear the same clothes.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They're all African Caribbean as opposed to African American. These
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: are primarily black islands or the population. And the only
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: way you tell the difference is they speak different languages.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: One is Dutch, one speaks French, one speaks English.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: And then you sort of know where you are. Otherwise
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: you have no idea.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they all have the same white sand and the same.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I mean drinks with umbrellas and them.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: It's they are fungible. They are fungible islands.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So anyway, but the ship is I'm very dec about
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: doing a whole foodie thing with her. It's a foody ship,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: foody trip. Okay, what else is going on now? Much,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go right into the news. Okay, We've got plenty
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to cover today as always, and it is time on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this Thursday morning, February, not Febrew February. Everybody says February,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: but it's actually February nineteenth.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Late story, Well, it's.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Getting a little tougher for former Prince Andrew. He has
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: just been arrested over his friendship and his dealings with
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, now King Charles when the story broke a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: while ago, actually ended up removing Prince Andrew's princeship.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: He can't call himself prince.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And his name is now Andrew Mountbatton, Windsor Royalty.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: In England, they don't have last names.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: When Charles signs his name, it's just Charles, and then
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's Charles Rex Rex, standing for the name that his
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: parents gave him because he looks so much like the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Scottish terrier they had named Rex. That's not true. Rex
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: actually is king in common law or old time England.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so he's been arrested for what is called
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and it's really an interesting one, suspicion of misconduct and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: public office.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: So they're saying he gave information to Epstein.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: While he was while he was a government official, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: gave information Epstein in terms of the actually financial dealings
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: between England and other countries and companies.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he can't do that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 12: Well, let's do the math between the UK and the US.
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: UK has one arrest in the Epstein files so far.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: How many do we have? We had.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Julaine Maxwell, No, we had Epstein, We've got caught up
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in the Epstein files and we have Julaane Maxwell. The
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: United Kingdom is much much more concentrating on wrongdoing than
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the US is. So anyway, we'll do more about this
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: because I'm going to talk about this at seven o'clock.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of fun parts of this one.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And I wonder how Andrew's going to do in prison
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and then where he lives and what. It's just it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you want to be a relative of the king, trust me,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you want to have that happen to you all right now? Well,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: in general.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Poised to strike.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: this week, and according to sources familiar with the matter,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: at least that's what CINMA sing How has been briefed
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that the military could be ready for an attack by
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the weekend. There's been a significant build up. A second
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: aircraft carrier strike group is headed to that area in
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the Middle East. Trump was briefed yesterday by Special Envoy
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner, who held those indirect talks
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: with around this week, and there are more talks that
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: are supposed to happen in a couple of weeks. No
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: decisions been made apparently.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, well, if the President makes a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: decision to attack, the attack will happen.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: There's no question.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Look what happened with Maduro, Look what happened with the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: first strike against Iran. They have to be quaking or
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: certainly accepting the possibility there will be an attack.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: And now what are they going to do, because.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Then they're going to retaliate, And of course they're stupid
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: enough to retaliate against Israel. Although Israel has nothing to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: do with what's going on right now with the nuclear
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: program that Iron has, well it does because it's going
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to be bearing the first attack, and it's going to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: be an attack by.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: The United States and Israel.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Hey, congratulations, Ieron, How do you think that's going to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: work out for you? I have that same question with Kamas,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: how'd you think that worked out for you? When you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: attacked Israel October seventh. Yeah, good choice.
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: How isn't that kind of like you pissing someone off
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: and then them punching kono?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, it is fair. No, it's wonderful. It
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's a great concept. Here is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a horrible story, Neil.
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah, this one we talked about, and you know, you
• 14:34
  Speaker 12: had a little burst of yay because six people were
• 14:37
  Speaker 12: rescued there in that rugged terrain near Donner Pass.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: But this news is not great.
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: So eight of those backcountry skiers who went missing after
• 14:49
  Speaker 12: that big avalanche high in California, Sierra Nevada, that's just
• 14:54
  Speaker 12: north of Lake Tahoe, they've been found dead. One remains
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: missing and is presumed dead. But the skiers were part
• 15:03
  Speaker 12: of a fifteen person group returning from a three day
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: backcountry trek. The avalanche obviously swept through that pretty intense terrain,
• 15:13
  Speaker 12: and you know, this is a very specific group doing
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: a very specific thing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and amateur they weren't. This one's not just amateurs.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: This is a well seasoned company that with real guides.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: It was just one of those freak accidents where the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: avalanche just came down with a small avalanche. But they
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: were in the process of returning. You know so, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you want to hear something even crazier. What's that which
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: makes the story even more insane is the people who
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: survived had to leave their comrades, their buddies on the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: hillside dead and would have to come back and have
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: rescuers pick up well not rescuers, but recoverers pick up
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: their bodies. One of the rescue team picked up his
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: wife who was dead on the mountain side. Oh, yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that was on. ABC reported that last night. It was
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: she one of the guy.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, she was one of the ones that died. Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: that's a tough one. That is rough.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: A good grilling.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in LA yesterday and got
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: grilled about whether his company intentionally was trying to get
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: kids addicted to Instagram and Facebook. He testified before a
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: jury for the first time. He says he believed he
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: has navigated the safety of young users in a reasonable way.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, there are some emails, not smoking gun emails, but
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: there are some emails that tend to go the other
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: way in terms of the increasing useage, increase of time
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: being used.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's one email that says we're basically pushers Oh yeah, pushers.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But that's one guy who wrote an email. I mean
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you can't. I don't think you can put your finger
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: on one email among the thousands and thousands. But you know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the jury is looking at it, and the jury can
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: be easily swayed.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 17:22
  Speaker 12: We talked a little bit about this yesterday, starting with
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: Mayor Bass, but now you have dozens of Southern California
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: politicians coming together saying that Casey Wasserman needs to step
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: down from overseeing the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Now he
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: is the one that had, you know, showed up in
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: the Epstein files in this particular case. I think he
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: was sexting or something Withswell.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah, So so you know, they're, like you said, they
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: have no they have no authority.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: This is just kind of a yeah, but you're.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Right, But it could be so overwhelming, the political pushback
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and the pressure can be so great that he may
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: have no choice.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: But wonder why why does he want to stay on them?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Because you've got a guy who created
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: one of the premiere PR firms or agencies in Los Angeles,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: celebrity agencies, and he leaves that he's has to sell
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the company, by the way, when this thing broke open,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so he wanted to really of myself go away for
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: a while. Well, but he say he didn't joy he's.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Running the twenty twenty eight Olympics. I don't know. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: can't get into his mind. You can't even get into yours.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: That is absolutely correct.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: The Trump teams take an issue with a tariff report.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: The Trump administration disputing a new paper from the New
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: York Federal Reserve asserting that US consumers and businesses are
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: paying the bulk of the higher costs from tariffs. National
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says that the paper is
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: an embarrassment. He says, what they've done is put out
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: a conclusion which has created a lot of news that's
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: highly partisan, based on analysis that would not be accepted
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: in a first semester econ class.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, President is saying that the tariffs are being paid
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for by the countries that are being tariffed, not US
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: individual businesses. In the meantime, he's absolutely right, because let
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: me point out something. As I explained, we Savo and
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I we have the import business, the cook wear import business.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: When we wrote a check to the government for one
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven percent of the value of the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: product that we brought in. You know what, the government said,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Oh no, we're not going to accept your check because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the government of China is paying for all of the tariffs.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And we went fantastic. But son of a bitch, you
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: know what they did. They collected the damn money. But
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: there are no tariffs. China has to pay the tariffs. Okay,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: then why did you take my check? The point is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is that the administration, it's a croc what they're saying.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Of course the consumer. Of course businesses are paying the tariffs.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: In some cases, businesses are sucking up the tariffs. But
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for the most part it's overwhelming that we the consumer
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and we the business people are paying the tariffs. Stop
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the bs. I can't stand it. I can't stand writing
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the check more than anything else. Okay, Ian Showdery.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we do one more.
• 20:47
  Speaker 12: He's the CEO the California High Speed Rail Authority. That is,
• 20:51
  Speaker 12: he came on in twenty twenty four, so he's not
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: the wing nut that started all the problems.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: But he is.
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: Now been at or taking leave after domestic violence allegations.
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: Rather so, no real detail on what happened at this point,
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: But he came he had helped on the high speed
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: rail system in Europe, was brought here in twenty twenty
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: four to work on this spoondoggle, and well.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: What went wrong.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: The high speed rail in Europe is fabulous.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Because they built it a very long time ago, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: europe trains in Europe, the infrastructure is a part and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: parcel of the entire transportation system.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: They just do a fabulous job.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You know that the trains in Paris, they go from
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Paris to other cities, unlike ours, which is going to
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: go from Merced to Fresno or something.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's intrigue.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we're getting a little bit of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: information about these allegations domestic violence because I think it
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: was his wife. They came up and said, hey, this
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: thing is going way over budget, and he popped her
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in the jaw and that was that's horrible. He comes
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: home and she goes lose. Boo, okay, okay.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Hilton's ahead. Steve Hilton, the conservative commentator who is running
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: for governor of California, now leads the field, according to
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: a new poll from Emerson College Polling and Inside California
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: politics Likely voters. Seventeen percent say they support Hilton, followed
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: by Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: also a Republican. They're tied at fourteen percent support. Bianco
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: had led Hilton and Swalwell in early December, so it's
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: splip flopped a little bit. Former Representative Katie Porter ten percent,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: support billionaire Tom Steyer nine percent. And actually Steve Hilton
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: isn't leading. What's leading is undecided. Twenty one percent of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: respondents say they haven't decided yet.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: And Hilton claimed the fame. And I think this is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: why he's getting this kind of support. Is he is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: currently a Fox News contributor. How do you think an
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: MSNBC contributor would affair not well, he may get all
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: eight votes from all eight viewers of MSNBC.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Hey, how come I get the dead whale story in?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Because you're the one that looks more like a dead
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: whale than anybody here on the show.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Neil, not fair.
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: I'm alive, thirty foot dead whale washed ashore Newport Beach.
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: This is a massive humpback whale ten tons. I'm not
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: there yet, no bigger than that, I think, well, push
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: me back.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: The experts here are hoping that this storm that if
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: I remember correctly, Amy is coming our way, that Mike
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: maybe pull the carcass back to see. But if it
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: doesn't happen, they got to find a way to remove that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 12: How they get you up on the surgery table handle?
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Oh that's very funny.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And how about you when you go swimming at the beach,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: people poke at you with a stick.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: My wife did that once once. What's this, Amy k King?
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: What's so funny? I've never seen her laugh at hard.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I go to Disneyland and yawn and boat center. Yeh,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I'm fat.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, candle, you're mean?
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, thank you? Who's late? You for the compliment?
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, Some senators continue to put the heat on the
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: on the ice. Democratic senators are saying that detainees at
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: ICE centers are going without medicine forious health conditions, enduring
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: miscarriages while shackled, and are dying in record numbers. The
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: twenty two Democratic lawmakers allege that a dramatic surgeon deaths
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: in federal immigration custody is a clear byproduct of the
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Trump administration's mass deportation agenda.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Do you think they care?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think Department of Homeland Security gives a rats
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: other than maybe the pr of this, because of course
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: they're denying everything. Do you know they never walked back
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: that Alex Preddi and Renee Good were domestic terrorists. They
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: never walk that back. They're not saying it anymore. But
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: it's a view that well, you know, and by the way,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: most Americans agree, it's kind of crazy. It really is,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: or was it? I just read that maybe we have it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I just I just read that the there was a
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: when I'm looking for a survey that was just done.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And the people who think highly of Homeland Security is
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: on par with people that think the Earth is flat
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and aliens live.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Among us among us. Well, hey, I just read that
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Obama said there's aliens.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: No Obama, Yeah, but he I believe there's aliens. Statistically,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: he is right with the hundreds of billions on top
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of billions out there.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Stars.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Statistics are for life to exist at all. It doesn't matter. Okay,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So there are point zero zero zero zero zero one, Okay,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: let's say that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: We'll give it sixteen.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, but look at the number of star and star
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: systems there are out there. It's billions squared and cubed,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: so statistically, yeah, I mean there were probably you have
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that zone of life around planets, and there's tons of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: planets that are the same distance from the Sun where
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: life could start.
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: And there's still some wing nut doing the morning show
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: out X value nine one one planet zero talking about
• 27:12
  Speaker 12: his crew being fat.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Probably true.
• 27:15
  Speaker 12: So you know, people got different names for a breaking wind,
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: cutting the cheese, whatever you want to call it. But
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: scientists are looking into how much gas one expels during
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: the day is too much and no one knows. Scientists
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: really don't know. So this they created smart underwear. It's
• 27:36
  Speaker 12: actually this little coin size thing that goes into your
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: underwear and at tracks how how much you expel gas
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: during the day.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of crazy.
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: They they had two participants, same diet, one past gas
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: one hundred and seventy five times and the other five times.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty weird.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: You know. I try this and the display kept on
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: flashing air air air because it was so overwhelmed.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: One time Handle and I were driving on that airplane. No,
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: not that time.
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: That time I learned how people cuss in different countries.
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: As Handle came on the tarmac, came out of the toilet.
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: But I was talking about the time you turned your
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: air conditioned seats on in your car, and it was
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: like years of gas came pushing us out.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I've been sitting on those seats for two years and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that the air conditioned seats are
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: not air conditioned. All it is is is uh, it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: air that blows up through the seats.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: And that was two years worth.
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: It was like the end the scene in Raiders of
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: the Lost Arc when they open the Arc of the
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: Covenant and all the ghosts come out and kill people.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: It was just horrific. Thank you for that Soky movie.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Here you go, major points. Okay, there you go, there
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Uh, why aren't Reese's peanut butter cups the best any longer?
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Because they're not using milk, chocolate and peanut butter anymore.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: The grandson of the inventor of the Reese's Peanut butter cup,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: has lashed out at Hershey's, accusing the candy company of
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: hurting the Riese's brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients. Brad
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Reese says the company has replaced milk, chocolate with compound coatings,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: and peanut butter with peanut krim.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: HB.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Reese invented the Reese's Peanut butter cup in nineteen twenty eight.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is, but it He's right.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: The Reese's peanut butter cups are not as good as
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: they used to do because.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Chocolate cocoa is so expensive now now that the cost
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: of real chocolate, virtually any confection is just astronomical. So
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: look at the ingredients. Cocoa flavored sawdust. It's the same
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: peanut butter. You know, you go get good chocolate. They
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: got these chocolate.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Like rounds.
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: They're not coins, but they're real chocolate. You get that
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: and you dip it into real peanut butter, and you
• 30:30
  Speaker 12: eat out of the jar like a normal human.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: And you can still get real chocolate.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: What is it lindor or whatever it makes those chocolate
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: bars that are seventy percent cocoa or cacao, and those
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: are hideously expensive when.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: You buy real chocolate. I'm worth it. Yeah, I love
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: real chocolate. We're like CDC critic to lead the agency
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: for now. You got to love that. What's the name,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: but Charia. Yeah, I think that's right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Let's just say his name over and over again.
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: But Charia top Trump Administration health official, very outspoken critic
• 31:12
  Speaker 12: of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, especially when
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: it came to the coronavirus pandemic. And now he's going
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: to be leading the CDC on an acting basis. So
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: this is one of those moves by the White House's
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: Secretary Robert F.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: Kennedy to shake things up there and give me this
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: way it's going.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: You know, the the analogy here is this show and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I come back from every break and go, Hi, this
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: is KFI and we're broadcasting crap.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute, I do do that, don't I? Yeah?
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, uh, let's talk peace. Trump's Board of Peace is
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: getting underway. In fact, the president's speaking right now the
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: very first Board of Peace meeting. Officials from dozens of
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: countries are expected to hear a status report on Trump's
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: peace plan for the Gaza Strip and what he has
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: described as the Board's unlimited potential to become the most
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: consequential international body in history.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised that the Board of Peace doesn't have
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: his name? It's not the Trump Board of peace. I
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: think that's a matter of time. But the building as
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it comes out comes out of there is a building
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: that is named the Trump whatever.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: The name of the building is the Donald J. Trump
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: US Institute of Peace.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: There you go, there you go. Thank you. He started
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: the speech with, aren't we all board of peace? You
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: know I am?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And most of those countries have observer status. Incidentally, the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: vast majority and the other countries are cowtowing to Donald
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Trump because of the power he has, and they're going
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to come up with what five billion dollars to help Gaza,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: which is just a fraction of what Gaza needs, but
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you know, that's still five billion dollars more than nothing.
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: So another president has had their hands in so many
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: different fronts.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Not George Washington probably, but he didn't have anything to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: do with naming of those cities, those towns.
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: I mean, I mean the amount I know, you bulk
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: at all of his promises and payoffs in his first year,
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: because all politicians pay off their promises in the first year.
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: But with with Trumpet, it just seems like his hand
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: literally in a lot of international.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know, he's become he's become an internationalist
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: where he is putting his hand in virtually the entire
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: world and the relationships countries have with countries and belligerencies
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and wars, and for a president says America First, there's
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: some people that are really pissed off because clearly it
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: has become America last. For the president. Yeah, and there's
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: some issues going on. We'll see what happens in the midterms.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: It's going to be very, very interesting. We're done, guys.
• 34:15
