  Speaker 2: Yeah, and just a quick word about that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Since Michelle has been with me for so.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Long and twenty five years ago or when she started,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: what we used to do is comment on the fact
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that Michelle is abundantly endowed.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Is true. This is absolutely true.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And when we do the when we did promotion photos
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: which we have, we had Michelle's photos simply a picture
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the Grand Teton Mountains and she would sign Michelle
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Cube KFI Radio. By the way, that's true. Okay, Neil,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: good morning, not after that, sure, after that, after that,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: will good morning, good morning Bill. And there's some great
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: stories about Michelle too. She's got some fabulous stories in
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that range. At some point we have to share those stories.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Michelle, there's exactly one story about.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It is a fabulous story. Would you like to share
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: with your other hold off on that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It happened in the nineties when I was drinking quite
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a bit and I got banned from Angel Stadium.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: She got banned from Angel Stadium. And why do you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: think she was banned from Angel Stadium?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I flashed somebody.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: In the stands.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: No, I well, I flashed somebody on the field, that's right.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: She was anyone in particular, I can't remember. I can't remember.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: It might have been Chuck Finley when he was pitching.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But it knocked out the second base coach. It really did.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And if you if you actually listened to the audio
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that was recorded that day, you heard a lot of.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: My God, will look at those It wasn't caught on JumboTron.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: It was caught on there are no cell phones.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The worst part about that is that I had to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: leave the stadium, but my stupid boyfriend stayed and so
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I had to wait outside the stadium for him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: And that's the night that we broke up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Because he was one of those guys who like put
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: down all the pitches and he tracks.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: The He sounds fun.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: No, it sounds like a lot of fun. Okay, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: said hello to everybody. Let me see, Amy, I did
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: say hello to you, didn't I you are obviously forgotten already.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Lindsey talks about how on this show, for the most part,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I'm focused except when I say hello to people. Uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And then the rest of the time I just don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: pay attention. I'll say something, and she said, I told
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you three days ago. I told you yesterday, the day before,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: for the last three days.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Did you listen? No, No, not at all. All right,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you guys ready to do it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Sure, it's the day after election day, and of course,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: uh we are doing the news with Amy Neil and me.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It is lead story. I was surprised, I thought was
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that Steve Hilton actually got more votes, or at least
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: up to this point.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, all the votes have not been counted.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: He got twenty seven percent, Besarah twenty five percent, give
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: or take. I'm going to say a few words about
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that at seven o'clock because that says a whole lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: about what we are thinking and where we were going,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and an analogy to work at the same place we were,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: was it six seven years ago? Stier came in third
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: with almost twenty percent. So Stier spent about fifteen eighteen
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: maybe twenty two dollars per vote, and Chad Bianco came
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in with only eleven percent of the vote. So that's done.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: That's finished on that one, and so we'll do a
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: lot more than that. The governor's race the mayor's race,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: which are the two big races, and both those races
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: were covered nationally. Even the LA mayors race covered nationally much.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: More lugely on both Fox and Cenna.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's like the mayor's run for New York. It is
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a big national story. Well, the mayor of either New
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: York or LA instantly becomes a national figure, or one
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of the two, or both become national figures.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Well, who to thunk Spencer's surging in the race for
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: LA mayor. Karen Bass has like thirty five percent of
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: the vote, and I said that's enough. She's going to
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: go to the runoffs. So the question is does Spencer
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Pratt have enough to make it or could Nithia Ramans
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: still come back. Spencer Pratt has about thirty percent of
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: the vote right now. Nythia Rahman has twenty two percent.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's going to be tough for her
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to come back. Maybe not though, you know, because mail
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in ballots and there's huge number of mail in ballots.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yesterday I mailed in my ballot.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Well, actually I had to go to the post office
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: because I did it at the last moment, and so
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: went to the post office and dropped off the my
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: envelopes and because I was carrying so much stuff in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the post office to be mailed. I was holding both
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of the envelopes with my teeth and there they had
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: teeth marks and spittle all over the envelopes. And as
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the gal behind the counter took them, it was I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: got a very interesting look. Just thought I share that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: with you. Not that has anything to do with anything,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: but you know, it's what happened yesterday.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: The teeth marks are different, but the spittle is pretty
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: much on everything you hold. All right, this was a
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: strange story. It's still going as far as I know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: You tell me Amy King if things have changed, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you have we.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Are waiting for confirmation that things have changed.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Gotcha. So you have several buildings downtown Bakersfield on lockdown,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: active bomb threat, hostage situation. You even have have, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: out of an abundance of caution, you have the city
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Hall and the police headquarters among those that are on lockdown.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: You've got the FBI Department of Homeland Security out there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And this is just an unidentified man at this point
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: entered the bank and barricaded himself in there with an
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: unknown number of people. Some I think two hostages have
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: been released so far from the building. Everyone else.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: Now up to nine nine that have been really nine
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: have been released, and they're just negotiating, right, well, they
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: were saying that they were negotiating. And what I'm waiting
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: for confirmation on is that a swat team may have
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: gone in and got him out this morning. But he
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: had like a what looked like a bomb strapped to
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: his chest.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: And it started around one pm yesterday.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: So it went overnight. And we'll get confirmation on that
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: as soon as we can and let you know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But hold, what was the Alpachino movie where Dog Day Afternoon,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened here.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Really, that's such a Yeah, it's a great movie.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: It's one of al Pacino's early films after he broke
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: out in The Godfather, and it was this situation exactly.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: He goes in, holds a bunch of people, he's going
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to rob the bank, but holds a bunch of people hostage,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and it was for his boyfriend to turn into his girlfriend,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken. And this was way way back
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: when where the concept of trans was and the surgery
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: was pretty risky at that time. Okay, I thought I'd share,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Oh we can do one more. Let's do one more
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: before take a break.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Scott Pelly sacked. CBS News has fired Scott Pelly. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: they had a meeting and things got pretty heated. So,
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: of course, Scott Pelley has been working for sixty minutes forever,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: and they rather new executive producer. Nick Bilton was having
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: a meeting and said, you know the that what's her name? Weiss?
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Serious?
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, CBS News editor in chief Barry Weiss loves this institution. Well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: that set Pelly off and he said, Weiss murdered sixty minutes.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: He said, she does not love this place. She was
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: brought in to kill it and she's been doing exactly that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: And after that he was fired.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Fired, and I think he wanted to get fired.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that story at eight o'clock and then
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: throwing a personal story about sixty minutes when I was
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: lucky enough to have a segment of sixty minutes done
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: on me in the mid eighties, and I'll give you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: some inside baseball about that. Yeah, it's I practiced a lot,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: putting a file in front of my face and running
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: out in the parking lot. Yes I did, okay, bills
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: coming down fourhead, yes, oh yes, all.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Right, us President Donald Trump said yesterday Monday, rather that
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: talks with Iran were ongoing. Here's the thing. He said,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: talks are continuing at a rapid pace with the Islamic
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Republic about Iran. And he said this untruth social because
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: that's where he does most of it. And he then
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: went on to say that he thinks we've been doing
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: too much talking, and if you want to know the truth,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: he thinks going silent would be very good and that
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: could be for a long time. Separate interview with CNBC,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Trump had said that he didn't mind if the talks
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: were over. I don't care if they're over. Honestly, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: could care less. Interesting tact.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Rubio's getting grilled.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said when he
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: testified before Congress that President Trump's negotiating team has not
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: offered Iran's sanctions relief in exchange for reopening the Strait
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: of Hormuz, and insisted that any sanction relief was tied
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: to Tehran giving up its nuclear program. He said, Iran
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: is being sanctioned because they have highly enriched uranium. Iran
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: is being sanctioned because of their nuclear activities. If they
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: agree to give those things up. There will be sanctioned
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: relief associated with that commitment and compliance to those agreements.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I don't understand.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of this in the sense that it's now
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: come to their nuclear program and that's it. And then
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: opening up the Strait of Hormuz. We really don't know. Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: it's a free waterway. I'm going to assume we're going
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: to go back to that, and then we want to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: see that nuclear program reduced or given up entirely.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: No more even mention.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Of supporting terrorists to organizations throughout the world that's off
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the table, building their roans and ballistic missiles, those manufacturing sites,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: no more mentioned to that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's all gone.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Wow, always about the it wasn't it always about the
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons, and then the strait came in later, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: but that's what I thought.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: No, the attack initially, the attack initially was certainly about
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons, but it was also about the other litany
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: of issues that the United States wanted the support of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Risbola and other proxy terrorists organizations that was important. Regime
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: change was part of it, and the President of course
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: says we have regime change. When the senior leadership of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: around was taken out, we have regime regime change. You're going,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: what different regime, no different leadership. It's like if God forbid,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: our president is assassinated and the vice president comes in,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that's regime change.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: It's still the same sit it's just different people. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: so that was off the table, and then all of that.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Then we have then the ballistics, the manufacturing, the use
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of drones, all of that was part of it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: That's all disappeared.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Now we're back simply to nuclear weapons enrichment, and we'll
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: see what happens with that one. Oh, in the Strait
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz is now controlled by the US, as if
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the Iranians have nothing to do with closing the straight
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: That's weird, although at the same time, well, there's a
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: lot of contradictions and no surprise there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: In terms of the US.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Rubio does a pretty good job by the way of
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: considering he has to do what the president wants him
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to do, which cabinet members must do.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: They work for the president.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: He's probably the most rational voice out there for the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: presidency or for the administration.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Representative Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat here in Los Angeles, being
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: instigated by the House Ethics Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: So this is a report that came out yesterday. Three
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: unnamed sources told CNN that Gomez, being investigated by the
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Committee Panels Panel, has not confirmed or commented at all
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: on this supposed report. Kind of goes back sometimes years ago.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: He said, years ago, he made some personal mistakes outside
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: of his marriage and that have caused real pain to
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: his wife and family. Although my actions were consensual in
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: nature and haven't violated any law or House ethics rule.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Apparently I don't understand kissing. I don't understand aid of somebody.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I don't understand no, not his aid. I don't understand
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: how plutish we have become here he is he is
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: ostensibly kissing, maybe stooping, a staffer who works for another
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: congress person, of which he didn't have the ability, I
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: guess to make any decisions, and therefore sexual misconduct. Explain
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to me what the sexual misconduct is when you have
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: two consenting adults, granted one of them is married or not.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: How about it's nobody's business.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: And for him and all these politicians to say I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: made mistakes is between me and my wife, and I've
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: caused great harm. How about it's none of your business. Okay,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you can talk to me about my voting record. You
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: can talk to me if there was an issue of
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: a subordinate does it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Become an ethics issue?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's but it's beyond that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: It's sexual misconduct under any circumstances. Ethics means you can't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have sex with someone who is not your wife. Okay,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: that's great us. At some point, is it ever nobody's business?
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: This is part of.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Their business though, because it was an aid, so it
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: really is. It was an aid for somebody else.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But that's right, it is amazing somebody else. That's the problem.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: If it was his aid, you have an argument, gotcha,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: but someone else? Come on, what if it wasn't even
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: an age? What if he was stopping the gal behind
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the counter at a Jack in the box while he
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: was married? Does that come out to yike? That's like
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a takshow.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Host leavin his wife for a listener.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Hello, a gender reveal party is going to cost millions.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: You know that the gender reveal parties are so popular,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: But this one went tragically wrong. It sparked a major
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: wildfire that led to the death of a firefighter three
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: companies have now agreed to pay more than four million
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: dollars for their role in the fire. It happened in
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: U Kuipa, part in a park in U Kaipa, And
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: if you'll remember, it was in twenty twenty and a
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: couple used a pyrotechnic that was supposed to put out
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: either blue or pink smoke, but the device ended up
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: setting off the El Dorado fire that burned nearly twenty
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: three thousand acres, damaged or destroyed nine buildings, and killed
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: us for a service wildland firefighter.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yikes, yikes? How many of these has there been? Though?
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: There's been explosions, there's been fires, there's been can't you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Just cut the cake in it's either blue or pink inside?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, it's interesting with these people.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's almost like, guess what, you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you're that stupid?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, then do it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It's like kids who the fireworks and they blow their
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: hands off. Oh my god, that's horrible. That's horrible. You
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: know what, you got to take some responsibility for this too.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Now they're arguing a lawsuit because it blew up or
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it shouldn't have, and the city because it allowed it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I just want some responsibility there and it never happens,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I saw this come over the wire yesterday. Sad legendary
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: singer songwriter pbo bryce And has died. He was seventy five,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: which seems young by today's standards.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, was something something went on wrong? Obviously?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah he had he had a stroke and just yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that comes out of the blue.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: What a voice though?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, no one, I didn't know his name.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, No, I know, I didn't know his name.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know who people was or Piabo. I didn't
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: know his name. But as soon as you talk about
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: his voice and what he's saying, Beauty and the Beast,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: it's a whole new world, all of these R and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: B classics, you instantly obviously know who he was. But anyway,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: it's uh man, what a talent.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what a talent.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Speaking of talent, as if Garth Brooks didn't have enough
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: money already, he said years and years ago that he
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: had more money than his children's children's children's children could
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: ever spend. Well, now he is considering a sale of
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: his catalog. About two billion dollars is what he's looking for.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: To get the rights to his songs and recordings. It
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: would be among the largest deals for an individual artist
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: or group catalog. He's been looking at doing this for
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: a few years. Recently told some investors he's one of
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: the few artists of his level of fame who has
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: not sold and is considering it. Of course, he's behind
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Friends in Low Places, Shameless, the Dance and tons more songs.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you look at the numbers, I mean, this
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: is astronomical, more than why he's asking more than two billion,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: but they figure that, well, you put it this way,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: was it? Queen's catalog sold for more than a billion
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: dollars in twenty twenty four, And I think Queen would
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: be worth more because the music goes across a large
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: segment that maybe Garth Brooks doesn't. I mean, it's basically
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: country music. And do you if you remember that the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Beatles publishing and ownership of their rights for the early Beatles,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: they were selling half of it for seventy five million
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: dollars and Michael Jackson bought that that half for seventy
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: five million dollars.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Paul McCartney bit on it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: And he thought seventy five million dollars was too much,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: and McCartney rude the day. He said, oh my god,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and I think he ended up buying the last half.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: So what does that mean. It just gives them the
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: rights to.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they own the song. Yeah, they just owned the song.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: They own the publishing. For example, when you hear a
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: commercial with an old song that goes to the publisher.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: When on radio, when you hear any one of these
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: songs played, I mean, when's the last time you heard
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a major song not being played on radio stations? I
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: mean I listened to the song as an easy listening
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: station and I hear basically the same song over and
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: over again Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. So it's two
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. I mean that is completely insane. Oh a
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: quick word. I was talking this story came out. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: was talking to Lindsay, who is a Garth Brooks fan.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: She went to a Garth Brooks concert. He was four
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: hours late. Four hours.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I thought you were going to say he played for
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: four hours.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I've seen him twice and he played for three hours.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: He wasn't late when I saw him, But that was
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: way and then that was back in the nineties.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: That's what she said, and he has a he's notorious
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: for being late. From what I understand, I'm telling you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: maybe Lindsay made it up.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Lindsay quit making stuff up.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah she made She makes up a lot of stuff.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, just to assuage my guilt
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and feelings.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Although you know there are people that show up.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Late, there are he does put on a fabulous, fast, fabulous.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody everybody today puts on three hours with no opening acts.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Do you know when the Beatles first came out and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: you would go to or anybody would go to a
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Beatles concept concert? You know how long those concerts were?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Ten minutes, now, thirty minutes, twenty seriously, twenty.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: To thirty minutes.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Wow, that's funny.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That was it. They come out.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: I saw McCartney. He did at least three hours.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, he was. He was absolutely wonderful.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: One of my great regrets in my life is going
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: to see the not going to see the Beatles when
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: prices were actually reasonable. I should have gone to I
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: think they did Dodger Stadium. I know they did Hollywood Bowl. Anyway,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: moving on.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: All right, out back the steakhouse. We all know and
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: love a Virginia woman is seeking one point five million
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: dollars for what being hitting in the face with a
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: hot bluemin onion. Nope, she slipped on mashed potatoes, fell
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: faith first. That sounds horrible, Uh, but you know she's
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: saying that she has, you know, all kinds of lasting
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: issues and.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, she fell straight on her on her face.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I can understand there's some you can do some big damage.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: But here is a legal aspect of this. She is
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: suing the steakhouse out back for negligence because the mashed
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: potatoes were on the floor and she's arguing that they
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: should have known and should have cleaned it up. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: they're going to argue, it just happened beforehand. What did
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: we do that is negligent? We weren't told. It just
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: happened before. Let's going into a supermarket. I slipped on
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a banana peel. You should have known, well the banana
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: peel was, it was ten minutes ago.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: What do you want me to do?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Now? There's an argument that there should be someone walking
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: around looking at what could cause a slip. It's a
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: better argument against a restaurant. But again they're saying, you
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: know what, someone's build their mashed potatoes.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Wait, here's the weird thing. Would it be in the
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: location it was apparently by a bathroom.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Is that a server that spilled it? Or is that
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter? I don't think it matters on that one.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It was the fact that the mashed
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: potatoes were on the ground. Also, I think the restaurant
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: has a big, big problem when it's going to them
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: out that when the order was taken and she was asked,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: do you want your mashed potatoes on the floor or
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: on your plate?
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Therein lies the rub okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Scrapping the fund. Acting Attorney General Todd blanche says the
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Trump administration is scrapping plans to create the one point
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: seven seven six billion dollar fund to compensate people who
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: they say were targeted by the Biden administration. It's that
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: anti weaponization fund that everybody had a fit about.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this avoid of the Trump administration missed the boat
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: on that one, underestimating the pushback that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I mean everybody.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: There were a few congress people and senators who would
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: have backed it up, but the leadership but just said
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. I mean, you cannot leave open
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: paying people who overran our capital and tried to an election,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and that was just a bridge too far in the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: red sand.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Never mind, you know what's worse than paying them out
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: of a slush fund, hiring them as an employee and
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: paying them every two weeks. So the Trump administration has
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: hired a convicted January sixth rioter to work at the
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Pentagon's office that oversees sensitive special operations and what they
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: referred to as a regular warfare matters. Elias Irizari is
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: what I'm going with. He was nineteen at the time
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: when he participated in the attack, and actually he pleaded
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: guilty to entering in remaining in a restricted building or grounds,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: was sentenced to fourteen days in prison.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: But now he got a job at the Pentagon and
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: he apologized. So how does this happen? Oh, it's real simple.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, the underlying premise is that every one
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: of those people who was prosecuted or accused or went
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: to jail of overrunning the capitol and causing harm and
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you attacking police officer, they were all patriots, right, every
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: one of them were patriots, and they were held hostile.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Was accused of any of that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, now, hold on hold on, no, no, no, I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: want to go to a point. And so this is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: akin to hiring a veteran that you give a veteran precedence,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you give extra points to a veteran whenever hiring in government.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And this is it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: If you were one of the January sixth defendants, you are,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: you should get more, You should get more consideration than
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: someone who is not, because look at this, you were.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: You were a hero, a patriot trying to undo an
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: unconstitutional rigged election. That's the craziness here, that's the craziness.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I where do you go with this?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: But the good news is they shut it down. Todd Blanche,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Oh they're still defending it. By the way, Todd Blanche is.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: No one is saying in the administration, Okay, maybe we overstepped.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe not.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He said, oh there was there was a weaponization, but
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: we're not going forward. Why because we're not going forward.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: George Santos, remember he he got himself in little trouble.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: He was former US representative. Well, he has been betting
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: on himself, apparently prediction marks prediction market Calci reported Santos
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: to federal prosecutors after he boasted that he would be
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: going to President Trump's State of the Union address and
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: then he bet against his own attendance.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And he didn't show up.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Imagine that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Imagine yeah, of course he did. Now what I find
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: interesting is he's even talking to prosecutors. These are federal prosecutors.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: This is a guy who was pardoned by the president,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: and why would they even go forward? For example, Tom Homan,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: who is the immigration Zar. They have video of him
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: with cash being handed over video and Pam Bondi, the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Eternal General, has asked about that. She says, We've done
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the investigation and there is no evidence there. So when
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: you're on the side of the administration, what's going to happen?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: He was pardoned by the president for his craziness when
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: he ran for office, and he lied through his teeth
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: about that that what he was just a bogus total
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: bogus resume. All right, I think we have time for
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: one more and this is good news. And Amy is
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: really excited about. Let Amy do this one because this
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: is an Amy topic.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, they're animals, Amy.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: I know, I'm just aftah.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Depending on our audience their dinner. Okay, moving on, Amy,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: why don't you give us the good news.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, The Great Beagle Rescue of Wisconsin continues as animal
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: rights groups say they plan to remove more dogs from
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: a medical research facility. It's called Ridgeland Farms. They agreed
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: to allow animal rights groups to remove one hundred and
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: thirty five beagles from the facility, on top of the
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: fifteen hundred dogs that have already been removed and relocated.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not that they were treated poorly. I don't
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: think that's the accusation. It's just that the emimeral medical
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: research place.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is well.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Again, keep in mind, I'm going to give you the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: other side of the coin on this one, because when
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: you look at these things, they are these beagles are
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: so adorable being held up and hugging and I mean
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: just you love it. You love this story and it's
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: being covered all over the place. But when new drugs
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: come out to save human beings, they have to go
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the pharmaceutical companies have to go through animal testing. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: do you not now, and no one cares about mice.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You can kill all the mice you want, but when
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it comes to animal testing with these beagles, I.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Don't know what happens. And they kill them.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Afterwards, and I sometimes yeah, and I don't know the answer,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: but when you look at how utterly cute and you go,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: how can you do this?
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And you know why they they use beagles, right because
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: beagles they don't fight back, Like beagles are the calmest
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: dogs and they can do almost anything to them and
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: they don't fight back.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: That's okay, I would you will?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Yeahs yeah, yeah, I'm never eating at a Korean restaurant again. Okay,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: we are done. Coming up the election recap, We'll do
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: that right here. Kf I A M.
