• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Good morning, and kno is here? What's up? And that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: my lineup? What's up? I talked to Neil yesterday. Neil
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: is doing reasonably well. He underwent bariatric surgery and is
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: eating and drinking absolutely nothing, and so he's already lost.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He's down. When did the surgery take place? Last week?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Friday?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Friday? And today is Tuesday, and he's already down eight
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: nine pounds. It goes very, very very quickly when you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: have a bariatric surgery, as I did some twenty something
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you lost like too much weight.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: At one point on I went from I figure about
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: three ten because I stop weighing myself at three hundred.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't gonna do it anymore. So I figure
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: about three ten and I dropped to one seventy three. Wow.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was a lot of weight.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: But how long did that take from the from.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: The bariatric surgery? Yeah, nine minutes. It goes very very quickly.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: It was like I would say six months, six months,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: six to eight months, six months.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You can lose one hundred pounds and six months.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It is very It's it's not fun, but it is
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: very rapid. And the you just don't have enough of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: an appetite. They literally knock out a big portion of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: your stomach. In my case, I had something called the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: ruin why, which is considered the gold standard, but it
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is a forever standard. Neil had the sleeve that goes
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: onto a stomach and crunches.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It up, and that can be removed, right, yes.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You can. The sleep can be removed. The ruin why cannot.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And they took out a good portion of the intestine,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: about eighteen inches of the intestine with a ruined why.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And when that was finished, my stomach was about the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: size of your thumb. And it has since expanded, because
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: stomachs expand rather dramatically. I mean, stomachs can get very big,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: just as will so wow, yeah, it's a while shots fired.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so yeah, we've just started. I haven't even
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: begun to stop yet. So I am. I weighed myself
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: this morning. I'm at one hundred and seventy three pounds.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm at the lowest I have been without being sick,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: without a surgery, which you'd lose weight after major surgery
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: no matter what you do, certainly heart surgery. And then
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: when I had the by trick, the gastric bypass. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there I was myself now. Also keep in mind, is
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: kind of fun weighing myself because I do it in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the kitchen, because upstairs Lindsay's asleep. I do it in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the kitchen, and I take off my nineties, I take
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: off my pajamas, etc. So I'm stark naked uh in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the kitchen with the lights on. Now behind me when
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I do it are my big glass doors that open
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: up to the uh to the backyard. Oh yeah, no,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I know they get the They get my creepy ass.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: They really do. You know my I lost when I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of weight, I lost it in my
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: ass department. Uh and uh it's it's a it's a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: very fluttery ass. There's a lot of uh loose skin there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And I've often said July fourth, it's it's a wind
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: for me because I paint my uh my fluttery parts
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: red white and blue, and a good wind comes it
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: comes up. Man, it's uh. I get a lot of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: patriotic uh.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Notice bringing memories of when you had your surgery and
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I had to come to your house to do the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: show and you would come downstairs in your tank top
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and your boxers.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: For the Yeah. Yeah, Well after my after my after
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: my heart surgery, I should have taken a month off
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: because it was pretty serious. You started coming down a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: week afterwards we started the show.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Did you get hazard pay for that?
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: But I did have access to his refrigerator, so I could,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: you know, fix myself a little snack before he came down.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Ye. So anyway, Neil will be back next week as
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: will Amy, as.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Will Amy's gone for two weeks.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, can I always get confused?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You've done all these people, they're making they're leaving no one, You.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Got me and I don't know? All right? Are you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: ready to do this?
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Guys?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Let's move on. It's time for Handle on the News
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: with Heather brook Or and me lead story one now
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: advances to second place and the runoff will be Nithia Rahman,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: former city council member, or she still is a city
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: council member. Yeah, and it will be her and Karen Bass.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Spencer Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV guy from the Hills.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He's done. He was initially ahead the day of the election.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And we're getting the same, uh, the same screed as
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: we always have from Republicans, particularly the president. If some
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: if a Republican is ahead on election day, then votes
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that come in afterwards are fraudulent. Uh, they're not. There
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: has been a rigged election. Notwithstanding California and other states
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: take mail in balloting and in California it's probably the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: loosest in terms of time. In terms of security, it's
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: probably among the tightest. And in California you can do
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a mail in ballot and if it's postmarked by the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: day of the election, it can arrive up to seven
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: days later and will be counted. Also, California has an
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: automatic voter registration every citizen, I think in California, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: think everybody basically, Yeah, anybody who has registered to vote
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: gets an automatic ballot. And of course that's fraudulent too,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and it's other states do this, by the way, there's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: some red states that do the same thing, not as
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: extensive as California. But here is what happens the day
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of the voting. Republicans do better mail in ballots, Democrats
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: do better. And it's always the same screen. How does
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: for example, how does Pratt lose or how does Raman?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: All of said get hundreds of thousands of votes after
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: election date, it's fraudulent. Well, that's the way it's set
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: up in California is not the only state. Now, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: will tell you that in every state or in every
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: campaign in which the Republican wins, after the ballot, after
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the mail in ballot. There is no fraud that doesn't exist.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: If a Republican wins mail in ballot or not, it
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: is a free democratic election. If a Democrat wins, it
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is a rigged election. Democracy does not exist in this
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: country where Democrats win. That's where we've come to. Now.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Have we heard a lot yet about Ramen winning in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: terms of the fraud? I haven't heard as much as
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I thought there would.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Be, you mean, winning the war in.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The second place, as against Pratt, where Pratt was ahead
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: election day and now has lost because of the mail
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in ballots. Have we been hearing a lot fraud? Fraud, fraud?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a lot of chatter online of people
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: claiming that it's rigged and there's fraud. I mean, everything
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you just said is what's happening. People are saying that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: it's you know, we played a story talking about some celebrity,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Jamie Kennedy saying that they're finding votes in the back
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: alleys and in trash cans and all that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You know, and all you have to do is file
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: lawsuit and bring it into court.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Just bring it into court. I think Bill is Saley
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: also said that they were going to be investigating see.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: The issue is is that there's no proof and no
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: evidence has been brought forward because this is just how
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: California elections work.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there won't be and there won't be. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: think in an interview with the President when he said
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: there's fraud and Christine Kristin Welker said, where's the evidence?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Bring it forward, and he said, I just know it exists.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: When the fraud was argued that Trump had won the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty twenty election and Joe Biden it was fraudulent,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: there were lawsuits filed, headed by Rudy Giuliani. Sixty three
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: lawsuits were filed arguing fraud County, state, federal lawsuit. Not
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: one shred of evidence was produced, not one and a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: or all dismissed, including Trump appointees. Okay, so we're going
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to talk a lot more about that. That really bothers me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It says a lot about where we're going.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, moving on, all right, are you as army helicopter
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: crash near the straight up horn moves? President Trump, though
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: last night after the Knicks game, says that two crew
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: members on board weren't hurt and they're doing fine. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: don't know how that's possible.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Being alive is fine.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know what caused the crash. There hasn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: been a lot of details released about this, but we
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: know that Trump is saying the pilots are fine, nobody
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: was injured, and they're supposed to release a report today.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Moving on, President Trump also has expressed some
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: renewed optimism over negotiations with Iran. He says we have
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: a good chance of signing another deal or deal in
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the next two or three days, but he didn't provide
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: any details or why there is this renewed optimism. Not anymore.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: He's been predicting this over the past several months. The yeah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have a deal.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have a deal right next Wednesday. If we
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: don't have a deal, we're gonna bomb Iran. It's we
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: won the war the first hour. We're they're desperate to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: make a deal of Iranians. Nothing has come to fruition nothing.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So now it's we're gonna have a deal. They're anxious,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and we'll have a deal soon. I don't know what
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that means, not anymore.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Israel's military has launched new attacks on tire in Lebanon,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: this morning. They've issued also a rare evacuation order for
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the historic southern Lebanese cities Christian Quarter. They say, in
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: light of Hasbella's violation the ceasefire agreement and it's targeting
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: of the Israeli home front, the IDF is compelled to
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: act forcefully against them.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The President is doing everything he possibly can to
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: bring this war to an end. And at this point
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: it certainly visa the Israel and Lebanon and it's just
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: not working. Is really just saying too bad and keeps
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: on attacking and ignoring the President, and it's not making
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the President very happy at all. Tire, by the way,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: there's I don't know if you know that, but the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: biggest Goodyear plant is in Tire in the Mid East.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: That's not true. That is not that's not true.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, I just thought i'd go there. Thank you, You're welcome.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Lies this morning, Lies this morning, all right. US Food
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and Drug Administration issued a recall notice for their brand
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: of baby wipes, and these wipes have the potential to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: cause bacterial contamination that could result in some pretty series
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: or life threatening infections for newborns and young children. The
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: recall is for Target brand Up and Up fragrance free
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and fresh cucumber scented baby wipes, So please check your wipes. Okay,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: all right. La County measure Eer, which was previously going
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: into the no category, has now flipped and he is
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: slightly edging out in the yes category. This was introduced
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: by Supervisor Holly Mitchell and Hildas Lease. It's called the
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Essential Services Restoration Act, and they're asking voters to enact
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: a half sent general sales tax for five years.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Two things. Number one, why not let's get we
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: go from the most taxed state county in the country
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to the ridiculously most tax and for five years. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the last time we've actually had a tax that was sunseted,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. Five years, two years, ten years, two months,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: three minutes, It doesn't matter. There'll be a bill, there'll
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: be a proposition to continue the tax on forever ten
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: point two five now percent La County, other cities, Orange County.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I think are there some places that are now eleven
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: percent sero tax?
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I want to say Palmdale, like up in that area,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: that Lancaster Palmdale area, I think is.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how special is that? Huh? All right?
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Big waves coming into Malibu. These are potentially deadly rip currents,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and authorities are warning people to be careful if you're
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: heading out into the waters there, and actually they're saying
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: just don't don't go out to the waters. Waves as
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: large as seven feet are forecast to hit the beaches
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: across the area.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rip tides are no fun. They tend to kill
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: people a lot.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: And a federal judge has struck down a one hundred
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars fee. Remember that one hundred thousand dollars fee
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that was going to be imposed on new H one
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: B visas for highly skilled four workers. Will judge says
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: that it constituted an unlawful tax that Congress never authorized.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the argument, and it's going to go up.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: This is a federal judge, and it's going to do
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the appeals and will certainly go to the Supreme Court
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: whether they're going to hear it or not. And that
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is the president. According to the administration, the president has
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the ability under law he can basically can make it
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a million dollar or eliminated completely the HN one visa visa,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the visa itself, or certainly the money if it is
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: if he deems it detrimental to the interests of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: United States, and with the judge said, no, no, what
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you're doing is just adding a tax, and we'll see
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: what happens. And tax is only Congress. Same thing with tariffs.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: By the way, the same thing happened with the court
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and tariffs. You know, you don't. The Congress has to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: do it, not you, And he's always argued that he
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: will make that decision.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I'm just surprised that it's taken this long, though, for
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: everything takes forever. Well, that's true. Our legal system is
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: very slow. Also, Trump administration said that they're seeking district
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: citizenship of seventeen immigrants. They are escalating their push to
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: find and expel people who they say improperly obtained US citizenship.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: The Justice Department says they're filing these denaturalization cases and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: district courts across the country, targeting people accused of concealing
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: previous crimes or committing fraud during the naturalization process.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the problem. And by the way, I agree
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: with the administration on this one. I mean, you do
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: want to de certify.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Or get rid of denaturalized.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you denaturalize people who are this kind of criminal
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: who have engaged this kind of criminal activity. Here's the problem, though,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the only basis of doing so is to commit fraud
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: in the application to become a naturalized citizen. Those are
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the basis for doing it, not anything else. And so
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: there's still US citizens. And if they've attempted sexual battery
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on Tiler, you go to jail, but you're still a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: US citizen. Once you're a naturalized citizen, other than committing
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: fraud on the application, you're basically a citizen. Even though
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I would like the administration's position to be involved. Here's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a quick story. I'm going to take a minute to
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: share this with you. My father was instrumental in getting
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: an avowed Nazi out of this country. A man who
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: handled in Yugoslavia. He was interior or minister of justice
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: in Yugoslavia during World War Two, and it was a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Nazi puppet regime. And he came to the United States
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and he came under an assumed name, and the State
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Department were certain members the State Department wanted to ship
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: him out of the country because there was a warrant
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: for his a rest. They were going to try him
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: as a criminal over what was Yugoslavia. And the only
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: way they got they finally got him, it was online
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: in the immigrant line, not the fact that he was
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a Nazi and there was a warrant he was a citizen.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: And what ended up happening is they finally got him,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and my dad actually testified in that trial, and he
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: got man. He got grief, He had death threats because
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the Croatian community was very, very upset that this guy
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: was being shipped out. And then I don't know if
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you ever heard Irv Rubin, Michelle, you know who Irv
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Reubin was. Irv was a guy who headed the Jewish
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Defense League and he would actually protect Jews, a bunch
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: of guys like the Guardian Angels in New York, except
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: there were a bunch of Jews in Los Angeles. He,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, ended up going to prison. He was convicted,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and then he took a swan dive off of floor
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the third floor of the Federal building. And of course
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: there was a conspiracy they threw him off and just
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: a bunch of crap. But anyway, my dad as a witness,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: no one would help in the Jewish community. Irv is
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the only one. Irv in his group were the only
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: ones that protected my dad, and when he testified, they
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: would pick him up, accompany him into court, and then
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: accompany him out, and he had to go through this
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: gauntlet of pro or Tugovich Croatian Catholics or Tukovich was Catholic,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and so with a lot of religious aspects to this,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and just giving an idea of how crazy IRV was.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: There was a little old lady that came up to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: my father as he was going into the courthouse and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: there were demonstrations, and this little old lady, it must
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: have been ninety. You know, she has a cane and
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: she's been over and she shuffles and she goes, mister Handel,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to let bygones be bygones. At
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: some point you have to forgive IRV bends down, spits
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: in her face and goes get out of the way,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you Croatian horror. Now that is impressive stuff. Yeah, I know.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: IRV was quite a character. Matter of fact, he used
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to whenever I'd say anything, remember it he was at
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: be we'd used to be in Koreatown, and if I
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: didn't put him on on some topic, he would be
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: demonstrating five o'clock in the morning with a bullhorn in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: our parking lot, and I would be sending him bagels
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and coffee. It was while he was screaming against KFI. Yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it was just tremendous, tremendous episodes. Those are the old days, ah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the good old days. Yeah, Okay, imagine that now.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: If you didn't put somebody on and they would come
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: down here, you wouldn't know. We would all just be like,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: there's somebody here.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I know you could look out the window and see them.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Americans are getting more and more pessimistic about their personal finances.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: About forty eight percent of Americans said their financial situation
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: was worse in men of this year than a year ago,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: and the highest share since January of twenty twenty three,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and the Federal Reserve Bank is saying that so consumers
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: are also less optimistic about the future as well.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but look at what's happening right Our consumer index
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: are the index which measures our confidence way way down.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Our spending is up, employments in good shape, the stock
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: market is at record highs. None of it makes sense.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, it's up again right now. It's up
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: what three hundred and oh, four hundred and sixty six points. Come,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: what do you do with all that? You can't make
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: sense of it? So well, it doesn't translate yet between
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: consumer confidence and the economy going downhill, which it should.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: So people are basically up saying they're not happy with
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: their personal finances, but all of the indicators and numbers
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: say that things are going well. Yeah, yeah, So it
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. You're right. Several private label products saw
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: price drops. Oh bill, handled, this one's for you. Some
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: of them dropped as much as ten dollars at Costco.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: The Costco's lowering prices on several of their popular Kirkland
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: and Signature are Kirkland Signature items, including ones that shoppers
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: had previously said as getting more expensive. So have you
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: checked out this list to see if? I got to
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: tell you there's not much to this. I no understand it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: The Crispy Wings, I don't buy him.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't understand why the prices are dropped anyway,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: because Costco's markup overall is maybe eleven percent, and on
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: food it's even less than that, between five and ten percent.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Well. Well, according to Fox Business, which released this story,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: it's a bunch of executives saying that in light of
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: consumers fears. Although sales at Costco I'm shirt are still
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: through the roof, they are dropping it because of what
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the perception is out there. The bottom line is milk, chocolate, almonds. Hey,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't use those golf balls. No,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: not enough goalsap male golfs out there to even make
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: a difference. Kinsai sheets, Chrispy wings. Yeah, I'm not only so.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the markup is so low anyway at Costco. The
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: regular grocery markup is between fifteen and thirty percent. At
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Costco is like maybe twelve percent.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care. So people are saving a couple bucks.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: It sounds like maybe just a few dollars there, all right,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: all right, So, coffee lovers, a new study has been
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: published for you. People who drink more one or more
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: cups of coffee each day lost an average of thirty
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: six minutes of sleep compared to those who didn't. This
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: is from the New Zealand Journal of Medicine and found Sense. Yeah,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: people who were assigned to drink coffee were also more active,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: taking an average of one thousand more steps. Well, yeah, see.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: There's that right, So you can do the same study
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: with for methampheta bean. Sure, you don't sleep as much
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and you walk faster.

• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I drink either one or two just in the morning.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Do you stop so you stop at a certain time?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not because I mean not because you know, I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: stop at a certain time. It's just that I'm done
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: with coffee in the morning.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: So it's just a morning thing for you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, it's a morning thing. How about you?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: You drink coffee in the morning.

• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I love coffee, and I will stop. My cutoff is
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: probably for the morning edition of coffee, around ten thirty
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: or eleven, But then I will almost always have a
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: nice coffee in the afternoon.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, kono, who can't afford coffee? You don't drink coffee,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: do you? You're cheering company.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: He's like a one sip.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's the initial taste. But I would consider myself
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a coffee It's that first sip of that first cup,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and it will and your nostrils all of it. Are
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you a coffee drinker. And it's not like as good
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: as cocaine, but it still works. Will Are you a

  Speaker 2: coffee drinker? Have one cup a day? Yeah? I make
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: it at home and I bring it here and smell.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: The best part is when it bruised. It turns itself
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: on in the morning and at that smell when I'm
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you know, in the shower. Oh all right, I think
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: we have time for one more story.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Alright. Uh, the world's biggest sporting event is coming to LA,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: but the real impact will not be felt on the pitch,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: that's right. According to a new analysis from bookies dot com,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup is projected to
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: generate in eye popping almost six hundred million dollars in
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: economic impact for LA. And that's interesting because I was
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: asking people this morning, are you going to be watching
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: the World Cup? And so many people said no.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know how many billion people actually

  Speaker 3: want to watch for the social impact of it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I really don't care. First of all,
• 26:12
