  Speaker 3: Spreme Court came in with an earth's shattering decision that
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about later. It's coming up at seven o'clock

• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Ralph Nader, the guy in black Holly drives cord Vers
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And this is for Anne and you a Disneyland story,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: which for Amy and me, That's what I said, Ann
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: is Padres. I understand, Yeah, I get it. I always
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: confuse the two.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You know, we have to do other names because you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: how long have you we've been doing this together and Amy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Problem is it starts with both names start with an
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: A and I.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: All three years, Bill, three years.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: How confusing, that would be for you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I still call my daughters by each other's names.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: And I witnessed that at Disneyland.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Ala.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I know I conflate the two and I have
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: four years. Yeah, my dad used to call both my
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: brother and I the same name exactly, and we would
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: have to know by his inflection who he was referring to.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: But you can't say that on the air.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah I can, but I won't. Okay, you guys ready
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to do it? Here we go some big news handle
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: on the news, Amy and Me, Amy not and Amy
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story. Well, Jerome Powell who is
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: leaving as FED chair May fifteenth because this term is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: over and it doesn't look like the President would reappoint him,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: although there have been presidents that have reappointed chair the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: FED chairs. He's staying on.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: He can stay on until twenty twenty eight as a governor.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: One of the I think twelve votes or fifteen votes
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: on it at the FED and Ian Powell, the President.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Powell have gotten into it. And I'll do more about
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: this story a little bit later on because this is
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a good one. Jerome Powell, Jerome Powell, who is the
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: FED chair, has to be very very careful because anything
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the Fed chair says immediately reverberates across markets, economic markets
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: around the world. So President called him a moron and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: not high iq starting since he was a Trump appointee.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: What a great guy he was, but not anymore.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Moving on, this could really have far reaching implications. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I know Bill's going to talk about it a little
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: bit later as well. But the Supreme Court has thrown
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: out a congressional map in Louisiana that had been drawn
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: to protect the voting power of black residents, a decision
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: that undercuts the landmark civil rights law. So the Court
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: ruled sixty three so along ideological lines that challenging the
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: map as relying too heavily on race to sort voters.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Justice Alito called the map an unconstitutional gerrymander. Justice Elena Kagan, though,
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: said the consequences of this decision are likely to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: far reaching and grave, rendering the protections of the Civil
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: rights saw the Voting Rights Act all but a dead letter.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: What ended up happening here is that the law and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the policy and the decisions Supreme Court is you cannot
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: have race be considered with an election. You cannot jerry
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: mander or you cannot set up racial districts based on race,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: and the court had ruled that if race is not involved,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the legislatures can do whatever.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: The hell they want.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Well, these Democratic legislators had set up these districts specifically
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: along racial lines, and the court said you can't do that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: That means, since you have for the most part, Republican legislators,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you're going to see districts where black voters, where these
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: communities of black voters are segregated and put into one district.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: You've seen those Jerrymander lines. I mean, it's not square,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it's just these weird salamander, just weird rorse shark test
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: looking lines. And if you draw enough around black neighborhoods
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and you include those, that means the other neighborhoods around
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: there are going to be white, and blacks traditionally vote
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: vote Democrat, or whites vote Republican far.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: More than blacks. And it looks like Republican seats are
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: going to be glamed, Republican leaning seats are going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: be gained. This is a very very big deal.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: How I understand the rule, but how do you protect minorities?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: That's the question. I mean question.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: You don't want racial lines to be there's no other
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: way of doing it, because there's no other way used
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: on both sides.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I suppose, yeah, how do you You can't.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: You can't protect minorities because minorities are by definition racial.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It's a race of minorities. I mean you can.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a gay community and that is, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: there are very few gay districts. I mean, you could
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: do that along West Hollywood probably, although West Hollywood, I
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: mean theoretically you could do that in communities in which
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: there is one group of people and you segregate them,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: give them a district here that's yours. All the districts
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: around are ours. Now, you can do it as long
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: as it's not for racial purposes. The court said, if
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you're doing it just for political purposes, there is no problem.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Which is so weird because it's the whole idea is
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: representation of the people. And when you take a whole
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: state like they just did in Virginia and make it
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: more democratic, or you take it another and you do
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: it in Texas and you make it more republican, it's
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: not actually representing the voting public.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: That is what the Democrats argument was is that by
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: eliminating considering race, eliminating that completely, representation among minorities basically disappears.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And that is the arguments.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: You just hit the nail right on the head or
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the head right on the nail, and it was and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the court said down. You know, we're not going to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: allow race to be part of it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It's a tough one. Both sides have an argument for sure.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: All Right, oil briefly surpassed one hundred and twenty six
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: bucks a barrel on Thursday. The Brent crude that's the
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: global benchmark here surged overnight one twenty six forty one
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: a barrel fell back to one point fifteen point eight
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: a barrel as trading volumes thin, but that's huge, just
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: the highest it's been in like four years.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty crazy, eity, what's what's the oil
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: now right now?
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Crude oil?
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: The markets haven't opened, but it's at one O four
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: forty two and Brent is that's not the Brent. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: don't have the Brent average bill.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: What was the four years ago? What knocked it up
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: four years ago?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I was in the one thirties, I think four years Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: but what was it that caused that? Jump.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Do you remember, because I can.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was after the pandemic and everything.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Everybody started really ramping up and buying oil. I crazy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I think that was it. If I'm not mistaken, I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: may very well be mistaken. And if I am mistaken,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: don't bring it up. You got it, sir, Thank you, sir.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Fireworks on Capitol Hill.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth was sparring with House Democrats, who
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: repeatedly accused him of misleading the public about the war
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: in Iran and for unjustly firing senior military leaders, which
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: he has fired a lot of them. The six hour
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: meeting happened at the House Armed Services Committee, so HeiG
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Seth and General Dan Kine, who's the chairman of the
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Joint Chiefs of Staff, were there to talk about the
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: one point five trillion dollar defense budget request. But it
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: turned into a rather heated and pointed and come back
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: exchange between the Democrats and Pete Heapseth.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: It used to be at these hearings people were polite.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Not anymore.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: They're not even close anymore. Now they're so adversarial. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: heg Seth. The biggest challenge, he said, the biggest challenge.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: defeatist words.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Of Congressional Democrat and some Republicans. I would think the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: biggest challenge would be the Iranians far more than maybe
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the Democrats on the hill, but maybe give.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Some credit for the use of the word feckless just
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: often so.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: And the budget for the war up to this point
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: is twenty five billion dollars. And the word quagmire was
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: thrown at Hegseth We're going into a quagmire, and Heasek
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: went crazy. He goes, We've only been at it for
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: two months. And I wish I had been there, as
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I would have said. I would have asked him, when
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: is it a quagmire for you?
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Giggity?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: When does that? When does that? Lin Kraft cross when
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: it is a quagmire?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And he comes, well, we are in Afghanistan twenty years
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: and we were in Vietnam eleven years, So I guess
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: would you think it would be ten years of war?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's when it becomes a quagmire.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Giggity giggity.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: The answer, but it's these hearings don't do much they
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: don't find anything out with these hearings. They're screaming matches
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and fifteen minutes of fame.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: All right, the Trump administration launched a bombshell offensive. You
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: can say what you want about Trump, but I tell you,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: the war on drugs is the first time I've ever
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: seen actually any president go to war on drugs. Wednesday,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: he went against Mexican government officials, accused of accused them
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: of complicity with the notorious Sinaloa cartel. And this thirty
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: four page indictment man is filled with all kinds of
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: outlines of alleged patterns of bribes, murders, kidnappings, and other
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: crimes linked to high ranking law and security chiefs there
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: in Mexico.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty corrupt in Mexico, and I mean really corrupt.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I think I shared that story with you. One of
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: my surrogacy clients was a huge broker, international broker of oil,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and he was in a meeting with the Mexican government
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and right there in the meeting, the government official handed
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: him a piece of paper with the number of a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Swiss bank account and he said, I want a dollar
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: fifty per barrel put into this bank account.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm straight out, and so he told me.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: He then asked me when we were talking the broker
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and he said, you know what the difference between the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: president of the Mexico and the cop on the street
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: that rouse you, just the money, they're both the same.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You pay the president a little bit more for corruption
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: than you do the cop that stops you. Yeah, that's
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Mexico for you. And you know, Trump's right on this one.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And Shinebaum has a real problem because to undo that
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: kind of corruption is really hard. And when you talk
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: about that corruption, the cartel is so powerful. And put
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: yourself in the cartel in one of these in one
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: of these positions of authority, when a cartel member looks
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: at you and says, you either do what we want
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and here's your choice. Lead, I mean gold or bullets
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: or gold or lead. You do what we want you
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: to do, You're going to become insanely wealthy. You don't,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: you are dead. Your entire family is dead, and everybody
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: else you knew it will be dead.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Where do you go with that? Just it's an impossible choice.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Imy, This is one heck of a book. Fine City
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: of Honeyington Beach has been ordered to pay one million
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: dollars in attorney fees for restricting minors' access to library books.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: City council passed a resolution in twenty twenty three that
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: prohibited children from accessing books deemed to contain sexual content
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: in the city's public libraries, but critics said the policy
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: amounted to illegal censorship and that it was actually an
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: excuse to restrict books with LGBTQ characters and themes.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Is there sex in them or is it just that
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: they're gay. They're both sex and gay. It's gay sex.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: My son watches cartoons and shows where there's gay characters
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: but there's not sex in them.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Well, but the implication is gayness is a sexual way
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: because if it has sex in it as it doesn't
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: matter if it's hetero or.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Homo.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: It just says LGBTQ characters and themes.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they sense their books on a big basis
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: because who decides, Well, the district decides, and the court said, uhh,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: can't do it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: So a United Airlines pilot arriving in San Diego, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: guess this is a time when they're kind of going along.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: They call it the base leg of the flights. Generally,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: when planes fly perpendicular with the runway. It's preparing to
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: land and it hits something, so thinks the pilot and
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: the airport tower. Audio goes back and forth. The pilot
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: thinks it was a drone, saying that it was red,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: it was shiny, but couldn't it was fairly small. Now,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Amy was there an update to this story?
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: The update is this morning.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: United is saying that they don't think that the drone
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and the plane actually collided. Yesterday they said there was
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: like a midair collision between this little small, red shiny drone.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: But they've examined the plane since then and there's no
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: damage on it. So they're saying, well, maybe we didn't
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: actually hit.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: It, but I mean it was still there. Yeah. And
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: to be at three thousand feet I think is where
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: or so? Is that what they were saying originally? Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: that's pretty high for a drone. They're supposed to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: under four hundred feet, which is about the lowest point
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: that a helicopter would fly. Mm hm, So that's pretty
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: high up there for a drone. I hope it wasn't
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Santa doing a test flight. Red shiny. No one's worried.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: One you can carry so many gifts on a drone
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that is the size of a dinner plate.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Those things are I have a small drone about the
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: size of my hand. That thing books.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Walmart's going to milk this one for all it's worth.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Walmart has opened third processing facility for milk in the
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: US with a more than three hundred and fifty million
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: dollar investment. Why it's adding to its decade long effort
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: to bolster its perishables supply chain.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: And it got the cows so cheaply that they couldn't
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: say no. See that's a Walmart joke about price it
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: being so low.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Did you get that? Okay, let's move on.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: All right. So, as you heard Handles say earlier, twenty
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: five billion dollars is the price tag so far on
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: the receipt for Operation Epic Fury. This was told by
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: the committee's top Democrat, Adam Smith. Representative said that this
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: is where we are at the sixty day mark, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I guess we're supposed to be upset, be happy, be.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: And the money is it hasn't even though it costs that,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: they haven't put the money into the budget. So they're
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: asking for They're going to ask for a supplemental Bill
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: supplementals basically are, gee, we need a lot more money
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: in Congress has to pass this in order to get money.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: The money that the Penton, Pentagon and other agencies get
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: based on Congress, which funds the United States.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: So twenty five billion dollars and counting.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Snakes?
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Why did it have to be snakes? A German tourist
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: has died in Egypt. He was participating in a snake
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: charmer's performance at a resort in Hergata, which is a
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: popular Red Sea destination about three hundred miles outside of Cairo.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: One of the snakes, presumably cobras, were placed around the
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: next of guests from the audience, among other things. But
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: then one of the snakes crawled into his trousers bit
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: him on the lake and he died.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: And he died.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I know, I have a question.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You're I like snakes, and you know I for my
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: kid's birthday we would have occasionally these giant pythons ran
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: a conda's. You know, they're ten feet long or twenty
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: feet long and weigh four hundred pounds.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It was just kind of fun. Do people not know
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that cobra's are one of the most venomous steaks, snakes
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in the world. Wouldn't you when you see a cobra
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: get out of dodge?
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Can't they spit venom too? It just seems like you
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: don't need to experience everything on vacation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're death, you know, that's that's.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: You know, had guillotines and yeah, stuff like that. I
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: don't know that you need to.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That's right up to the guillotine.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to be fun though.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are bucket list items, you know, it's no
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: issue about that.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more Neil, all.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Right, So this has to do with new rules for
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: non immigrant visa applications. Trump administration said on Tuesday that
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: it's issuing issuing some new rules for these visa applications,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: but it's gonna limit asylum claims in the United States
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: just with two little questions. So now the US officials
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: will be required to ask these questions of the applicant,
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: have you experienced harm or mistreatment in your country or
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: nationality or last habitual residents? And do you fear harm
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: or mistreatment in returning to your country of nationality or
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: permanent residents? If the visa applicants respond verbally with no
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: to both questions for these questions, and they can continue
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: with visa issuance. If not, sorry, because we're afraid you're
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: just going to stay okay.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you can't just say I fear harm. There
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: has to be some basis for that. You know, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: just can't get because anybody would say I fear fear
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of harm or persecution. And the FEDS are limiting the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: countries that persecute people and prosecute the people to be
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: very limited set of countries. It's just getting harder and harder.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: This could lead to a deadly and dangerous chain of events.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: The head of the organization that's overseeing a treaty banning
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: nuclear testing has warned that if the US, Russia, or
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: any other country goes ahead with nuclear testing, other nations
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: are going to go ahead and start doing it too.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Robert Floyd's, the executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Ban Treaty Organization, told the UN correspondence that this is
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: a spiral we do not want to see start because
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: it may never be able to be stopped.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because well, the first test ban treaty test the
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: test ban treaty, and this was when atmospheric tests were
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: being die was between the United States and Russia nineteen
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: sixty it was Kennedy and it was a Khrushchev and
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: so they were underground testing after that, and now you've
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: got then their testing is basically just stopped. But you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: the testing is all done by computer modeling. Now you
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: don't have to blow anything up. And so the problem
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: is is all that is over going back to well,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it's the opening for more nuclear weapons.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: And at one point the United States, now keep in mind,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: how many do you need? How many weapons do you
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: need to blow apart the world?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: The thermonuclear weapons, these hydrogen bombs, I mean, you don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: need many to blow up the entire world. At one
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: point we had thirty thousand of them, and Russia on
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: the other side had close to that number.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this nuclear war business is a tough one, isn't it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: I missed the good old days of just us in Russia. Yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: all right, from terracotta warriors now to a bunch of robots.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: China has a one billion dollar robot army now and
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: they're doing not only patrolling, they got these five thousand
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: quadruped If you've seen these robot dogs, they're part cute
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: and part nightmare fuel. But they're going to be patrolling
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: substations and mountain transmission lines. And then three thousand dual
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: armed wheel units are going to be handling coordinated repairs
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: on their grid. This is all about power grids and
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: them facing aging infrastructure and all of this stuff, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: they're going to be using these robots instead of humans
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: to maintain and protect.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple of reasons why this is so
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: critical and what the ramifications are. Number one, the number
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: of people being born are that are not do not
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: meet the number of people we're talking about worldwide now
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: and industrialized nations of which China is one, they are
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: more old folks than young folks. They're just there isn't
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: enough labor out there, and so you need something to
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: take the place of the folks that are retiring and
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: or dying. Also, China is moving ahead at a breakneck
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: speed in terms of technology, and they have chosen a
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: few areas, one of them robotics, the other one is
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: alternative energy, and then the last one cars. And I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: going to talk about that coming up. At what time
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: are we going to do that? Oh seven point thirty
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Where we're going to talk about what's going on with
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Chinese cars China. The day that China is allowed to
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: sell their electric vehicles in the United States, all the
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: other companies are going to collapse.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that later on.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Goodbye Kylo Wren, Hello Darth Vader.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Darth Vader has set foot in Star Wars Galaxies Edge
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: for the first time.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yay, is this the very first time?
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, he's just he's been in the park
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: and he's been in the launch pad, and they've had
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: meet and greets and then like during Star Wars Nights
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: and that kind of thing, there's an opportunity to see
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Vader in the park, But Kylo Wren has been in
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Galaxy's Edge, and so they can't have the two in
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: the same place because they're different timelines. So now Kylo
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Ren is out and Darth Vader is in, and they're
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: also bringing back Luke Skywalker and Princess Leah and Hans
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Solo as well.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Which makes sense because those are the big figures.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Finally though, because I certainly know the one.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I certainly know about Prince Leah, and I certainly know
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: about hands Solo, and of course Darth Vader. I had
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: no idea who Kylo Ren is?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: So you haven't seen the newest trilogy.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: No, I stopped. I stopped going to Star Wars a
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: long long time ago. Are you going to go dressed
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: as Jewbacca? Okay, with Jewbacca? With that, Harry Yamica.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you just saw Chewbacca last time when we were
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: at Disneyland.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I did, I did see. Did we get a picture
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of Jewbacca?
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: We did not.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: He was running off, That's right, he was running off.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: But so enters the season of the Force there at
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Disney which is a great time to go, by the way, which.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Makes sense too because they have that nighttime show, the
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Skywalker Saga. So they think they did like a soft
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: intro for it or a soft launch good thing.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: So over there, yep, all right open. AI Chief executive
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: Sam All apologized to the Canadian community this is a
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: tough story and another their question about all the information
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: that goes over online sources. Now, so he apologized for
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: failing to alert police about a mass shooter's conversations with
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: its chatbot. And this has to do with Jesse Van
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Root's seller Salar eighteen, who if you remember, killed eight people,
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: including school children in Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, before taking
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: her own life in February. And I guess they knew
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: something was going on, or they could have known. Well,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: I think they knew because they had to shut down
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: the didn't they shut down the person was banned. He says,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: I'm deeply sorry that we did not alert law enforcement
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: to the account that was banned in June.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, it goes further than what I said. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: So it's you know, the person asked at GPT about
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: gun violence and and and they actually debated whether they
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: should call and tell the law enforcement.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Or knowledge, and they didn't. And so big apology coming
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: maybe okay to have you know or you'll see you'll
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: be reporters.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, no question about that. You'll see that change. Okay,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: A big, big case yesterday Supreme Court. I mean, can
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: this is monumental importance that I'll share that with you.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: It has to do with voting and who and where
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: people vote, and I'll explain that coming up.
