• 0:46
  Speaker 3: It's Wednesday morning, a full eighth and it is h
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the day after the attack on Iran in which the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: US has decimated, obliterated Iran.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: He's taken it back into the stone as well.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: That didn't happen.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: So what did I say? What did we say yesterday?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: And that is that Trump is going to once again
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: move the goalposts, which he of course has done. And yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: we talk about rhinos, you know, Republican.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: In name only.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Well, some people are describing President Trump as a taco,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: right boy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: You love it. I did text. It's The first thing
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I did was text you and said you called it? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you did yep a taco what is it? Trump again?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Trump always chicked chickens out or again chickens out?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Did he chicken out? Or did he not want to
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: do it? And they they came to enough of an
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: agreement that they said, we.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Don't have to well everything the agreement.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, let I'm going to talk about this, but let
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: me put it in perspect a perspective. Number one, the ceasefire,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: of course, has has nothing to do with the nuclear
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: enriched uranium that's off the table. The state sponsored terrorism
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that's off the table. Nothing there. Missile production and storage,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: nothing there, drone production, manufacturing storage, nothing there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Now it doesn't matter though Bill, if he did something,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: he's a warmonger if he didn't chickens out.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: That true.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: However, however, every day, let's get let's get real. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: turned out the only thing that was left is opening
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz, which did open. Now what is
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: being left out is that Iran military controls the state
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of Iran, and the administration agreed to that. The Iranian
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: military now controls the Straits of Haran, of Straits of
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: horm moose and according to reports, the few ships that
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: have gotten through have in fact paid to go through.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The Strait of Hormuz is going to become a toll
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: booth and that is the problem. So it all boiled
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: down and opening up the straits, but agreeing to let
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the straits be controlled by your on that's what the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: United States has agreed to. That's the reality. There is
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: no regime change that has not happened. No matter how
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: much the administration says we have successfully made regime change,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: that's not true. It's still the same regime. Comparing it
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to for example, let's say the President of the United States,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the Chief Justice, the Speaker, and the Secretary of State
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: all get taken out in an attack. Then does the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: other side claim regime change. We no longer have a democracy,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: We no longer have a government in place. There's a
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: new government the old. The other thing is, we now
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: have a regime that has some smart people that's willing
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to sit down and talk with us. By all reports,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it's a harder regime that is more steadfast against the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: United States.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, you know, just give me a reality, that's all
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I ask.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know, don't give you in all our military all
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: our military decisions, all our military efforts have been completely realized,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: right the drones, the missiles, the sponsorship of the state,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: sponsorship of terrorists, none of that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: So you just don't don't don't.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Pee down the back of my leg and tell me
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it's raining. Okay, God forbid. Politicians lie to you, Bill,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I know I done that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: No Democrat, Now, of course they lie, but not on this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, when's the last time?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm not arguing that Democrats don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: lie like crazy.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Hundred million dollars have gone to home homelessness in Los Angeles,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and you don't give a rats ass that there's no account.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: You're right away home, are you? Hold on? You're not.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You're not defending this, are you by saying, wow, he
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: killed them too?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm just saying that. It's like, Okay, when's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the last time a devil itself doesn't make I'm not arguing, Okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: everybody lies.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: When's the last time a democratic lie caused the entire
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: world market to reel?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And oil?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Today, and oil it has bounced.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Back to a way above what it was before the war.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: It has bounced back to ninety seven dollars a barrel
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: from sixty seven dollars a barrel. You're right, from one
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen dollars a veteral to ninety seven, one
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: hundred percent. It has bounced back, and we're going to
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: hear today that we're back to normal. Go to the pumps,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: go to gain at gasoline today and tell me it's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: bounced back.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Neil, Oh, you mean in your in your wife's ten.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, you're right because I have a car
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that you have an electric car on one hand, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: then you have a car from Neil. Why why let
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: me ask you this. Why can't you just accept the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: fact that we are being lied to and the world
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is reeling, I mean reeling from what is happening. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: mean we're being whipsawd. Money, as you know, reacts to emotion. Period.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: The stock market is an emotional roller coaster, and people
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: are responding to this man different than anybody.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Right because he didn't because because he didn't attack Iran.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I get that, because that was just bluster. You know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: let's just get a reality check.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You want him to attack Iran?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Well, actually I thought attacking Iran was a good deal,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: but it might be still And no, no, he's no.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Come on, it'll be another two weeks after this, two
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: weeks and then it'll be another two weeks.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, give me a break.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Do you really believe that two weeks from now the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: attack is not going is going to happen?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You really believe that we don't need you know, we
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: don't need, we don't need to every other day that
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: this guy Wonger, he does whatever he wants. He doesn't
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: listen to anybody. He only does what he wants. Everybody
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: does what he wants to say. And then on the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: flip side that he always chickens out. You know, I'm not.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: He's both.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He's he's well, he does chicken out, and he is
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a warmonger because he started the war. He started the war.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: You don't see infrastructure all over Iran, all over the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Middle East having been blown up.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Absurd, all of it's absurd. But the reality station with
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: this guy in it, you know from late night TV.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You're right, No, you're right, it's no, you're right. He's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: just he's all bluster. No, he's all bluster. Nothing has
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: been attacked, nobody has not published. Huh, he's unlikable. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: don't know where he goes. Hey, Neil, don't I don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: know where to go. You you, you look.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: At the Golf States where refineries have been taken out, right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: you look at the price of gas.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And what you do is say, oh, Bill, you have
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: an escalade.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Therefore, who took out the refineries? Oh?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Roan took out refineries that are in the Gulf States,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: attacked refineries all over the Gulf States in response, in
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: response to them being attacked. That's the reality. Just you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you know what the politics of this. By the way,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: also Aman the Emirates Saudi Arabia, also we're taking it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: a quitaries attacked. Crazy, Okay, therefore it okay, that's brilliant, brilliant,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: brilliant analysis, Neil.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you. This is all just to avoid the Epstein files.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's another one.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's another one.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm not saying democrats aren't is,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: but I'll tell you there'll be no democrat that would
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: threaten to wipe out an entire civilization that you wouldn't hear.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That's all, you know.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: That's uh, it's it's and and some people are arguing
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that that's a negotiating.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Listen, Democrats are doing their share. I don't belong to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: either side. Democrats only want to wipe out the civilization
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they are overseeing at the time, because we're doing so
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: great in California from all those bleeding hearts that want
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to lead everything every day into that's two different Neil.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: The problem is that that's two different topics. It's sapples
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: and oranges.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Think local, man, there's so much going on here. You're right, absolutely.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I agree. Locally is were hemorrhagy. You're right right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: We're looking at the at all of the teachers walking
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: out next week or next school. It's like Orange, Neil.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: The schools aren't being bombed. That's the difference the Democrats
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and bombing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: They are bombed by weapons of destruction, by bad policies
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in stupid leadership.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Right, So there are so the kids don't have school.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: The buildings aren't even there anymore. They've been wiped out
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: by the Democrats. Okay, Neil, Neil, Neil, Neil, Trump loves.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this right out, Trump loves potholes all right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Time for handle on the news, Amy Neil and me
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: oh I didn't say good morning, everybody, Good morning, everybody, Okay,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: lead story fire right.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Two week.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Suspension, ceasefire two weeks. I'll talk more about that coming
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: up at the top of the hour, because we did
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the entire first segment on it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: All right, Amy.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Oils up, dows well, actually oils down. Dow's up since
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: the ceasefire was announced. US crewed futures are down about
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: twenty percent, and so it's less than ninety five bucks
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: a barrel now, and US stock futures and also Asian
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: markets jumped up. The Dow is in futures because the
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: market's going to open about seven minutes up twelve hundred
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: bus twelve.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a good day.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Nasdac's up three and a half percent, up eight hundred
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: and sixty. And then the overseas, the Nike average up
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: almost five percent, South Korea up five point seven percent,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: in Hong Kong's Hang Sing index is up almost three percent.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Yep, we're going to see a good day in stocks.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Uh, and oil is going to go Was it ninety
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: seven dollars a barrel?
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: No, it's down to ninety two.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Ninety two a barrel from a high I A think
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: what one fourteen, but from sixty seven before the war started.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of volatility going on, and I'll
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: talk much more about that coming up at seven eight.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Where do we want that bill?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: About sixty five sixty five seventy, Yeah, that's your sweet spot.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Sixty five seventy dollars a barrel.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: That's that keeps the oil producer old pic Nations going
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: pretty strong, or enough money going in enough for us
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to use California's weird because we know the price of
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: gas and oil here is just insane.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: We can't complain here.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: It's all, yeah, well we're a complete outlier here. But
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: for the most part, everything is on the world market.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: But sixty five seventy seems to be comfortable for everybody.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Certainly not ninety seven or ninety two, and certainly not
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen. So could you have imagined if
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the attack did happen, Oh, my goodness, what would have happened?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: So now the problem now, the point is is how
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: quickly can we get back. There's still some real issues
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: with a straight up horror moves. I'll talk about that
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: coming up at seven o'clock.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Boy, the days of being able to look your enemy
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in the eye. Were the good old days. Iranian hackers
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: are exploiting cyber vulnerabilities and some US water systems, energy providers.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: These are key software systems, so basically there are you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: in order for these systems to be manageable, they have
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: to be online often, and with them being online, that's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a back door that is used. So this particular advisory
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that went out does not specify which Iranian hacking group
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: is behind the attacks, only noting noting that it's in
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the Iranian affiliated group that are the persistent threat threat
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: actors is what they call them, that are targeting the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: US critical infrastructure organization. So this is the new way
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: of war.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, well we know is going to happen.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: The only thing that is I guess any kind of
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: silver lining is a.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Hack is pretty specific.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: There is no way to hack an entire grid or
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: an entire military because they are different. It's somewhat separated out.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: That's the only saving grace anything that is connected. Oh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: that's problem. That's a problem.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: An elephant for an elephant. The Republicans have held onto
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: a house seat in Georgia. Marjorie Taylor Green resigned a
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: couple of months ago, and so they had an election
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: to replace her for the remainder of her term, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Republican Clay Fuller beat Democrat John Harris in a special
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: run off election.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Now, this does not bode well for the Republicans even
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: if they did win it, because this is a red
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: state in which the Republicans should win by thirty five
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to forty points and it didn't happen. I mean, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Republican won, I mean, no question about it, but not
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: even close to what traditionally is going to happen. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: then state seats for elective office judges Democrats swept.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: So it is.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: All signs point to the Republicans getting smashed come the
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: midterms at this moment. I mean, we'll see what happens
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: between now and November.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: So we had heard about the independent journalist, the American
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: journalist Shelley Kittleston Son. Rather, she has now been released
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: by the pro Iran militia in Iraq. She was received
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: now by the Iraqi government. It's processing her travel arrangements
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and doing all of those things now. But she's been
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a specialist in the Middle East doing reporting for some time,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and she was taken captive by this pro Iran militia
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: in Iraq last month, and it looks like she's going
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to be on her way home soon.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: That's good news. We yes, we don't use it yet.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: News like that this quickly, all right?
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: So San Francisco is home to some big major tech
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: companies like Open Ai, Anthropic, Salesforce, Uber, and because of that,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: home prices are surging up eighteen percent year over year,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: driven by the AI investment boom and the tech hiring
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: surge there. They're now at a median price of two
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: point one five million. And if you don't want to
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: full on house, you can just get a condo. That'll
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: just set you back one point three to six million,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: which is up twenty seven percent year over year.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's lovely. So you want to move up to
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: San Francisco, you move right ahead. By the way, what
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: is two point one million dollars buy you in Arkansas?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Are we saw? Yeah?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Which thirty exactly? Which third of the state is
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: it by you? Yes?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you have all the poop and human feces you
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: could ever ask for in San Francisco. So you got that.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: They have been working to clean that up.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: No, actually it was up there about a year ago
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and it was cleaner than la sadly, so you remember
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: when you used to quit a job when it didn't
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: pay you what you wanted. While a twenty nine year
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: old employee was arrested on suspicion of arson, Why was
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: he suspected because he filmed himself? He actually videoed himself

  Speaker 2: The guy's going to go to jail.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Oh for a long long time.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: And now everybody else is out of work.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Now, I mean this depends on how big
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: a company it is, and whether they stay they continue
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to pay their employees. Don't know the answer to that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Insurance certainly kicks in, but we'll see what happens to
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: your employees.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: You have a good point.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Are they out of work or are they going to
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: get paid at least partially or are they going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: be on unemployment or unemployment insurance?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Take a seat.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is going to meet with the
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: House Oversight Committee May sixth to answer questions about his
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick lived
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: next door to Epstein in New York City. He told
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: The New York Post last year that he decided back
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: in two thousand and five that Epstein was disgusting. But
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: then the files released by the Justice Department show that
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Lutnick and his family visited Epstein's island in twenty twelve,
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: and that was four years after Epstein was convicted for
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: the child sex trafficking charges.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, saying that he had nothing to do with him
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: after two thousand and five, So cotton a law straight
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: out lie and instead of saying, yep I'm a liar, Yes,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I lied all he said, was.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I don't remember going to the island, but I'm sure
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: nothing untoward happened.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: How do we not remember going to an island?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Interesting?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I have no doubt that probably
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: nothing untoward did happen. I don't think I would guess
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: that what Nick was not part of that inner cabal.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this thing, this, and this is comer who
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: is a fanatic Trump supporter. This Epstein thing has hit
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: both sides of the aisle. Man, No one wants to
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: hear this because we're talking about child predators and raping
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: of miners. Yeah, that draws the line across the board.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And this, Yeah, you can be a part.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Here's that vulgar of a human being. They don't care
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: about the politics, No, they don't.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: A lot of Republicans don't care about this. This is
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a line in the sand. Oh, here's fun. If you
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: want to buy a car, well, you remember back.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: In May of twenty two, twenty three, the used car
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: prices were going through the roof. Now they have jumped
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: six point two percent, sending used car prices to their
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: highest level in nearly those three years. So this is
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: jumping up. Okay, you got March, you get people getting
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: tax refunds, things like that, the you know, you got
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: high new car prices, the rising gas costs, of course,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: interest rates. Everything has brought people back to buying used
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: cars again. So now they're going through the roof last time,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't it like the chips or something. We're having a
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: hard time getting.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the Yeah, new car prices and that
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: brought up all car prices. So I'm gonna get I'm
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I'm shopping for a used car. My lease is up
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: in August.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm now the best way to do it. They
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: just the depreciation is immediate. Oh yeah, it's crazy, So
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: we'll see. You know, how much is going to cost me?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Probably a whole lot.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: A something fishy with this one. Authorities in the Bahamas
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: are looking for a woman from Michigan whose husband says
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: she fell overboard Saturday night while they were out boating.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: They were in an eight foot dinghy, and the.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Guy told authorities that she was on the boat with
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: him on Saturday night and she fell off and then
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: currents swept her away, and she had the boat keys
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: in her pocket. So the motor on the boat stopped
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: and he had to row back to shore took him
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: several hours to get there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Good question. Why is it such a big deal about
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the key around her neck?
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I don't understand the significance of that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Well, certainly everything else.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yeah, I know, but I don't understand why
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: that's part a big part of the story. Certainly that
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: factually fell over, certainly what he says. Certainly the doubt.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I mean her daughter, she's he's her step stepdad. Her
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: daughter is convinced that there's foul play here. And there's
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of question about that. But there's nothing anybody's
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: gonna do about it. Data, what you go to trial?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: What do they do? Authority is going to try him,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: there's no witnesses. It's just yeah, this is what happened.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Is that reasonable doubt? Of course? But what you would do?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: What I would? What would I do? Lindsey? Do not
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: go on a boat with him?
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Oh you're talking about throw her overboard?
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: It depends on the day, you know, sometimes Italy, Yeah, it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Just depends, you know.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I react when her eyes roll, you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: that's that is a big defense when killing a spouse.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: But she rolled her eyes, Okay. She weighs the same
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: as Driftwood, Dude, that's true, that's true. All right, another hack,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: this time the LA City Attorney's office. So you're compromising
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: seven point seven terabytes boom of sensitive LAPD records. So
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: you've got oftener officer personal files. You've got internal affairs documents,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: sensitive discovery documents that are typically kept private like witnesses names,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: medical information, unredacted, criminal complaints now available online. And city
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: and LAPD officials have not even publicly acknowledged the briefing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yes's clarified it. Yet, you know, there are two.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Sides to this one and which way to go, because
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: first of all, transparency. You want transparency, you want to
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: know complaints. Again's cops, and there's a law that protects cops.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: On the other hand, you release all this stuff and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the cops get docks. You know, they're doxing police officers,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: and it's a you know, where do you go.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: With that one? And that's same thing with.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: The ice agents you know wear masks that we're uh yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know which way you go on this, man,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: there's two colliding forces here.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Has anyone gone after the Epstein files yet? Any hackers?
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I thought someone had breached some of it. I don't know.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: That's a whole new meaning to being left on the
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: cutting room floor. Sony Pictures Entertainment, you you are good
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: at these well, thank you?
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you welcome.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Sony Pictures Entertainment plans to lay off a few hundred employees.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: This is globally. They announced the cuts yesterday afternoon. It'll
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: affect employees who work across Sony's film, TV and corporate divisions.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Sony says the cuts reflect a shift in bite business
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: strategy under the new CEO.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're going to.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Focus more on game shows, anime experiences, and content that
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: will connect with a younger audience.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: But the big stories. They fired Spider Man. What, Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: they just fired him. You're fired.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Did they take the suit and everything?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Oh? I think they took everything. No, they didn't. It's
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: the biggest franchise they have, actually, I think.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a weird one. Yeah, that is all right.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: This is a crazy story. California senator is suing Sacramento.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Why Well. She says that she was targeted she a
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: deliberate and unlawful campaign to falsely accuse her, an arrest her,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and discreditor Why She says because she was putting out
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: a trying to get a bill passed that would dealt
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: with law enforcement. So she says, and her name is
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Senator Sabrina Servantes here out of Riverside. I believe. She
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: says that they made it look like she was driving
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: under the influence, yet blood tests showed there were no
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: traces of drug or alcohol in her system, and says
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it was, you know, basically to rocker world a little
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: bit because of this particular thing that she was trying
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: to push through. When I think we have time for
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: one more story.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Amy Abracadabra. The Magic Castle caught. Fire crews were able
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: to knock down the fire in the attic of the
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: iconic Magic Castle in Hollywood. It broke out yesterday about
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: five thirty. Took forty one minutes to put it out,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: and the Magic Castle was one hundred and seventeen years old.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really I've been Neil used to be a member, right, yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: with a number for a long time.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: A Magician member.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Had a KFI party there a few years ago.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's I love the Magic Castle now it's
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: now it's basically a theme park where you pay to
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: get in and it's just it's no longer way it
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: used to be.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they really.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Owners, but actually the guy who's owned property, I believe.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is this had to do.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, Neil with a magic act and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: flash paper sort of it went awry.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: No really, no, of course not.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, because flash paper, by definition,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: burns at a very high rate.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and just immediately explodes.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Neil, you couldn't see Bill.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: That was that was a magic joke. I was surprised
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: that he knew what flash paper was. I think I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: was gobsmacked by that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up ceasefire with lots of moving lots
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: of moving pieces. Here, the administration says it won. Iran
• 27:26
