- 1:47Speaker 4: As I said, Will Colestreiber is also out. He's on vacation. Yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 4: from what I understand, he's on a food tour of
- 1:58Speaker 4: all the taco stank in Tijuana as they.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Go around and try that sounds delicious.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's seriously good. And some of them even
- 2:08Speaker 4: have cow's meat.
- 2:13Speaker 3: And others want.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Known for like dogs and stuff.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I thought that was. You know, there's a couple of
- 2:18Speaker 3: things that Tijuana is known for.
- 2:20Speaker 4: One of course, is the delicious mystery meat on the
- 2:22Speaker 4: tacos that still may not be happening. The donkey shows, unfortunately,
- 2:28Speaker 4: have stopped. The other thing that I don't even know
- 2:31Speaker 4: if they do that anymore, and that is you have
- 2:35Speaker 4: you take a picture on a cart, in a cart
- 2:39Speaker 4: with a sombrero, and it's in front of it is
- 2:42Speaker 4: a donkey that has stripes on it painted to.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Look like a zebra. I've never understood that.
- 2:48Speaker 4: I never have, but I have a couple of those
- 2:51Speaker 4: pictures that I took when I was a kid. I
- 2:53Speaker 4: think those are done too. I don't think they have them. Also,
- 2:57Speaker 4: I don't even know if that they have the places
- 2:59Speaker 4: where you do reupholstering. They used to reupholster. They shot
- 3:05Speaker 4: very very little money and they would use.
- 3:10Speaker 3: They would use sawdust in the upholstery.
- 3:14Speaker 4: That's what they did for the foam part, which obviously
- 3:18Speaker 4: foam was way too expensive, so its sawdust that they
- 3:22Speaker 4: got from stables. It's still mixed up with the horse manure.
- 3:26Speaker 4: So the By the way, I'm not exaggerating too much.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I once had I had when I was a kid, young, young,
- 3:32Speaker 4: young kid, teenager. I had a volkswagon where the seats
- 3:35Speaker 4: were falling apart, or at least the upholstery. So you
- 3:38Speaker 4: go down Tijuana and you have it done down there
- 3:41Speaker 4: and they knock out in one day.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They were just known for that.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Also, you get great fireworks in Tijuana, the m eighty
- 3:51Speaker 4: so those little explosive fireworks. Oh man, that'll blow your
- 3:54Speaker 4: hand off. Seriously, it's almost like a little nitro charge. Okay,
- 4:00Speaker 4: I think we've gone through everything. We've gotten the history
- 4:02Speaker 4: of Tijuana. Also, the water is so spectacular in Tijuana. Also,
- 4:08Speaker 4: you get pretty sick I mean, I don't want to
- 4:10Speaker 4: sound like a yeah, it's it's a tough place to go,
- 4:15Speaker 4: I think, but the gangs weren't weren't part of it.
- 4:18Speaker 4: I mean there was a lot of crime there, but
- 4:20Speaker 4: not so much the gangs.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I wish they'd clean it up. It's so fun to
- 4:24Speaker 2: go there, and I haven't been there for years just
- 4:25Speaker 2: because it's not the thing.
- 4:26Speaker 3: But the fun part is the filth. You go there
- 4:31Speaker 3: for the filth.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I go there for the chick lits.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You go there for the chickens.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Chick lits.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Oh, the chick lits.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I haven't been there in so long, but there used
- 4:39Speaker 2: to be the kids selling.
- 4:40Speaker 3: The kids selling chic li, chic lit, chic lit.
- 4:43Speaker 2: I came back with so many chick lits.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Yeah, with the with the gum.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Also, the best carne asada I have ever had in
- 4:51Speaker 4: my life really was in Tijuana.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:54Speaker 4: I used to have a producer, what the hell was
- 4:57Speaker 4: his name? I forget his name.
- 4:59Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you got to end out. You've
- 5:01Speaker 2: blocked everybody else out.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot to go what was his name?
- 5:07Speaker 4: In any case, very interesting guy because his parents he
- 5:12Speaker 4: was born in the United States. His parents came from
- 5:15Speaker 4: from Mexico. They had a place and O'Neil and I
- 5:19Speaker 4: will tell you about that. We went to the parents'
- 5:21Speaker 4: hotel ones and they had a place where folks that
- 5:25Speaker 4: were crossing the border, immigrants, illegal immigrants, they were overnight
- 5:31Speaker 4: at the parents' hotel and they were here in the United States.
- 5:35Speaker 4: And you're ready for this. They moved to Tijuana for
- 5:38Speaker 4: the opportunities. Who the hell leaves the United States and
- 5:41Speaker 4: goes to Tijuana for opportunities, And so they had this
- 5:45Speaker 4: hotel and Neil and I stayed in this hotel and
- 5:50Speaker 4: we just lost it because the bed was a platform,
- 5:55Speaker 4: a plywood platform with a mattress owner a thin mattress
- 5:59Speaker 4: with towels, I mean they were clean, but sheets that
- 6:02Speaker 4: were twenty five years old and you could barely you
- 6:06Speaker 4: could almost see through them. They were tissue. And the
- 6:09Speaker 4: light was a single bulb with a chain porcelain fixture
- 6:15Speaker 4: where you pull the chain and it's just the light bulb.
- 6:18Speaker 4: We were laughing so hard. It was just hilarious. Anyway,
- 6:24Speaker 4: So they had a stand and he took us because
- 6:28Speaker 4: he knew the area. They had a stand and they
- 6:31Speaker 4: served up this carne asada, which was insane. I almost
- 6:35Speaker 4: got into trouble too, because we were driving in his
- 6:38Speaker 4: pickup truck going down the street and all the hookers
- 6:41Speaker 4: were there along the street, Evinda refl Revolution of the
- 6:45Speaker 4: Big Street, and I was going back and forth screaming buttatatata.
- 6:50Speaker 3: I think his name was Inileano Lamon.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, Leleon, yes, Ilean God, Yes he was.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Emilia Emiano was a producer for a bunch of years,
- 7:04Speaker 4: and he took us to literally the finest carnivos out
- 7:07Speaker 4: of place I've ever ever tasted in my life. Okay,
- 7:09Speaker 4: so much for that what I said that, Yeah, no,
- 7:13Speaker 4: it was truly spectacular. Okay, guys, let's do it handle
- 7:16Speaker 4: on the news, just me and Amy lead story. Well,
- 7:24Speaker 4: federal jury US District Judge Ann Wang, who is overseeing
- 7:31Speaker 4: the jury trial of the fellow who is accused of
- 7:37Speaker 4: starting the Pacific Palisades fire. They're deadlocked. Send a note
- 7:41Speaker 4: back to the judge saying we're deadlocked. We have people
- 7:45Speaker 4: on both sides, so it could be it could cost
- 7:51Speaker 4: another trial because what ends up happening when they're a
- 7:53Speaker 4: deadlock and it is called by the judge goodbye.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So did they just start over.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to start over. Yeah, they can keep
- 8:02Speaker 3: on charging.
- 8:03Speaker 4: A mistrial effectively means no trial, and they can keep
- 8:07Speaker 4: on charging and charging and charging. Maybe at the eighth
- 8:12Speaker 4: trial the judge throws it out. But usually you try,
- 8:16Speaker 4: the authorities tried, then they do another trial, and then
- 8:19Speaker 4: by that point they're done unless it's very very close,
- 8:24Speaker 4: unless it is six to seven or five to four,
- 8:30Speaker 4: depending on the number of jurors.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, We got one more.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Help is on the way. Search and rescue teams from
- 8:38Speaker 2: Los Angeles with K nine teams have been deployed to Venezuela.
- 8:44Speaker 2: The US State Department is also mobilizing one hundred and
- 8:47Speaker 2: fifty million dollars in aid. A group of eighty rescuers
- 8:51Speaker 2: from Switzerland have already landed in Venezuela. That includes search
- 8:56Speaker 2: and rescue specialists, eighteen tons of supplies, search eight search dogs.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Turkey has two flights that have left Istanbul. They're on
- 9:05Speaker 2: their way. The Netherlands is sending a team with sixty
- 9:08Speaker 2: five rescue workers, dogs and equipment as they continue to
- 9:12Speaker 2: search for survivors after those massive earthquakes.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Yeah, the entire world now usually as countries who have
- 9:17Speaker 4: some experience dealing with people under debris. Turkey, for example,
- 9:21Speaker 4: does Israel does because of the buildings that were bombed.
- 9:25Speaker 4: They do it very very well. The United States does
- 9:28Speaker 4: because we're pretty sophisticated in the world of rescue, and
- 9:32Speaker 4: this is really where politics are set aside and the rescue.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Goes to work.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Thousands of people are missing, thousands unaccounted for. This death
- 9:42Speaker 4: toll is going to be astronomical by the time it's
- 9:45Speaker 4: said and done, because they haven't.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Even begun to remove the debris.
- 9:51Speaker 2: The rubble a big win for the president handed down
- 9:55Speaker 2: by the High Court. The Supreme Court has overturned lower
- 10:00Speaker 2: court orders and will allow the Department of Homeland Security
- 10:03Speaker 2: to end temporary protected status for about one point three
- 10:08Speaker 2: million people from seventeen countries, a lot of them Haitian
- 10:12Speaker 2: and a lot of them are Syrians. The conservative dominated
- 10:15Speaker 2: court has put breaks on some of Trump's immigration policies,
- 10:20Speaker 2: but it also gave them another win yesterday in a
- 10:23Speaker 2: decision that clears the way for the revival of a
- 10:26Speaker 2: policy restricting immigrants seeking asylum, now saying that they have
- 10:31Speaker 2: to actually be in the US to seek asylum. They
- 10:33Speaker 2: can't do it before they get here.
- 10:36Speaker 4: I'm going to talk more about this is seven twenty
- 10:38Speaker 4: because there are a few pieces here. But the bottom
- 10:41Speaker 4: line is if I had to make this decision and
- 10:43Speaker 4: I was sitting on the court, I do exactly the
- 10:45Speaker 4: same thing.
- 10:46Speaker 3: I'd give Trump the two.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Wins, and I will explain why it's a little bit wonky,
- 10:51Speaker 4: but it has to do with presidential power that I
- 10:53Speaker 4: think should have presidential power.
- 10:56Speaker 3: And then as far as the.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Advocate who were saying that it was unconstitutional, that TPS
- 11:04Speaker 4: temporary protective status, the way it's being handled by the
- 11:08Speaker 4: Trump administration is illegal, they clearly don't understand the word temporary.
- 11:14Speaker 4: They think the temporary is simply an adjective.
- 11:16Speaker 3: It is not.
- 11:17Speaker 4: So we'll talk a little bit later on. I'll come
- 11:21Speaker 4: up with that segment at seven to twenty.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Today, Iran appears to be testing the waters. Iran's Islamic
- 11:31Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard has attacked a Singapore flagged cargo ship in
- 11:36Speaker 2: the Strait of Poormouz, testing that deal signed last week
- 11:39Speaker 2: by the US and Ronda end the fighting and reopen
- 11:43Speaker 2: the strait. An attack drone hit the vessel. According to
- 11:47Speaker 2: one official, The attack damaged the ship's bridge, but no
- 11:51Speaker 2: one was hurt. It happened near the coast of Oman.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Hours after the Iranian Parliamentary Navy's parliament Paramilitary sorry, the
- 12:01Speaker 2: Iranian Paramilitaries Navy warned ships not to use routes through
- 12:06Speaker 2: the waterway that had not been sanctioned by Iran.
- 12:10Speaker 4: It just get interesting because look at where the quote
- 12:14Speaker 4: the ceasefire of the piece right now is. Instead of free,
- 12:19Speaker 4: unfettered international, international ability to go through the strait, which
- 12:27Speaker 4: it was prior to the war, I mean it was
- 12:31Speaker 4: there's no question, no one had to ask anybody, just
- 12:33Speaker 4: go through the strait. Now Iran says you have to
- 12:36Speaker 4: ask us. But we're allowing free transit. Now, what are
- 12:42Speaker 4: they getting in return? Right now, sanctions have been lifted,
- 12:45Speaker 4: They are allowed to sell oil on the open market,
- 12:48Speaker 4: which they never had before or since the Obama administration,
- 12:51Speaker 4: never had. And I don't know how much the money
- 12:55Speaker 4: is being released. But right now, right now, Iran is
- 12:59Speaker 4: winning this one hands down. So that's going to be
- 13:03Speaker 4: in the news all wat Do you think.
- 13:04Speaker 2: That they're just gonna let this continue. It's I mean,
- 13:07Speaker 2: it's a pretty clear violation of the MoU.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Iran plays the long game, and if they occasionally hit
- 13:15Speaker 4: a ship every once in a while. Oh no, the
- 13:18Speaker 4: piece of cord is still going on. This is a
- 13:20Speaker 4: minor blip. I think Iran is just showing its position,
- 13:25Speaker 4: just pushing the envelope and going.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Iran is doing exactly what Iran does. And the one
- 13:31Speaker 3: thing that the.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Trump administration cannot do is go to war against again
- 13:35Speaker 4: with Iran.
- 13:36Speaker 3: They just can't.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Even though he says, well, I will, I will, I will,
- 13:39Speaker 4: I will, he said that about half a dozen times,
- 13:42Speaker 4: ain't gonna happen.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Speaking of stuff happening, authorities are sounding an incoming missile
- 13:49Speaker 2: alert in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. That's just
- 13:53Speaker 2: coming into the news room. We'll get you more on
- 13:54Speaker 2: that as that comes. Well, this stinks to holy hell.
- 13:59Speaker 2: The boile heightss out. But now they're dealing with the
- 14:02Speaker 2: massive amounts of rotting meat eighty five million tons of
- 14:06Speaker 2: frozen food. And there apparently is a foul smell. As
- 14:10Speaker 2: the cleanup phase from the week long fire begins outside
- 14:14Speaker 2: the Lineage warehouse, the smell of heavy smoke is already
- 14:17Speaker 2: being replaced by that of spoiling food and filthy water.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Three dump trucks have carried waste away, but firefighters say
- 14:24Speaker 2: it's still going to be days before crews will be
- 14:26Speaker 2: able to access the remains of the burned out interior
- 14:30Speaker 2: to get all that rotting food out of there.
- 14:32Speaker 4: By the way, it's not eighty five million tons, Oh,
- 14:35Speaker 4: it's eighty five million pounds. Yeah, that was eighty But
- 14:37Speaker 4: eighty five million pounds, jeez, it's a lot. Even that
- 14:41Speaker 4: sounds like insane, But yeah, who knows. I'm not going
- 14:47Speaker 4: to there and count it, that's for sure.
- 14:51Speaker 2: The way more case, the way it's worded makes all
- 14:54Speaker 2: the difference. The Supreme Court has sided with the maker
- 14:57Speaker 2: of round Up weed killer in a ruling that's expected
- 15:01Speaker 2: to block thousands of lawsuits that have been filed. The
- 15:05Speaker 2: lawsuits claimed that the maker of Roundup failed to warn
- 15:10Speaker 2: people that the product could cause cancer. So the High
- 15:13Speaker 2: Court ruled, in a seven to two decision that Roundup
- 15:16Speaker 2: cannot be sued in state courts for failure to warn
- 15:19Speaker 2: because federal regulators have found a cancer link unlikely and
- 15:24Speaker 2: do not require a warning label. But Justice Kaitanji Brown
- 15:29Speaker 2: Jackson and Neil Gorsich they were the dissenters, saying that
- 15:33Speaker 2: Monsanto could have added that warning label without violating federal law.
- 15:38Speaker 4: Yeah, but the fact is they could have and they didn't.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Does that mean that they're going to be nailed for that?
- 15:45Speaker 3: No?
- 15:46Speaker 4: I mean I could have gone seventy five miles per
- 15:48Speaker 4: hour on the freeway this morning.
- 15:49Speaker 3: I didn't now what. That was a fairly stupid analogy.
- 15:54Speaker 2: By the way, Okay, an Apple a day is going
- 15:57Speaker 2: to cost you more Apples raisings of its max and
- 16:02Speaker 2: iPads a week after CEO Tim Cook said that the
- 16:06Speaker 2: soaring costs of memory and storage chips were going to
- 16:09Speaker 2: force the company's hands. So the Apple online store went
- 16:13Speaker 2: went dark early this morning, and when it came back,
- 16:17Speaker 2: Mac computers were up up fifteen to twenty percent. iPad
- 16:22Speaker 2: prices were up fifteen to twenty five percent. So like
- 16:25Speaker 2: for a MacBook Air, it's up two hundred bucks to
- 16:28Speaker 2: twelve ninety nine, the base MacBook Pro is up three
- 16:32Speaker 2: hundred dollars to nineteen ninety nine. And then that MacBook Neo,
- 16:36Speaker 2: which was like the entry level that's supposed to compete
- 16:39Speaker 2: with like a Chromebook. It used to be five ninety nine.
- 16:42Speaker 2: It went up one hundred dollars to six ninety nine
- 16:44Speaker 2: and then iPads are up to you know.
- 16:47Speaker 3: They finally realized.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Apple realized that their prices were too low, and they
- 16:52Speaker 4: wanted to catch up to the market because you don't
- 16:55Speaker 4: spend enough money on Mac products or Apple products, do
- 16:58Speaker 4: you who house is Apple or Mac everything?
- 17:04Speaker 2: So they're pushing the envelope. See what they can get
- 17:05Speaker 2: away with, and they're.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Going to get away with it.
- 17:08Speaker 4: They're going to because the product is it's iconic and
- 17:11Speaker 4: it's very very good.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Would I go to Android?
- 17:16Speaker 4: I don't want to relearn how to use a phone,
- 17:20Speaker 4: you know, pushing that on off button.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Man, that just does it to me.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I don't want to go beyond that and figure out
- 17:24Speaker 4: another place where that is okay.
- 17:29Speaker 2: This is very tragic for one, it was a fall.
- 17:31Speaker 2: For the other, a close call. A twenty two year
- 17:35Speaker 2: old man visiting Yosemite National Park was swept over a
- 17:41Speaker 2: nearly six hundred foot waterfall on Saturday. Officials say that
- 17:47Speaker 2: the guy got into the water above the Nevada Fall
- 17:51Speaker 2: and a person named Frezia Gall was taking a picture
- 17:55Speaker 2: and she noticed the guy in the water. She said
- 17:59Speaker 2: he didn't appear to be a strong swimmer, and so
- 18:01Speaker 2: she who was a former volunteer lifeguard. Jumped in the
- 18:05Speaker 2: water to try to help him. She got caught up
- 18:08Speaker 2: in the water as it was kind of sucking them
- 18:10Speaker 2: towards the waterfall. Somebody put a stick down she was
- 18:15Speaker 2: able to grab that saved her, but the guy wasn't
- 18:18Speaker 2: able to be saved and went over the six hundred
- 18:21Speaker 2: foot waterfall and died.
- 18:24Speaker 4: I have a question, and that is, who is swimming
- 18:27Speaker 4: that near a waterfall that you could be caught up
- 18:31Speaker 4: and swept over?
- 18:32Speaker 2: Or you get in the water that close to a waterfall?
- 18:35Speaker 4: Yeah, and then and the water is cold. I mean
- 18:40Speaker 4: you're talking up in the mountains.
- 18:41Speaker 3: That's yeah. I don't get it, so off over you went.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Governor's got his eyes on AI. Governor Newsom announced the
- 18:53Speaker 2: launch of California's first tool to track artificial intelligence related
- 18:58Speaker 2: job loss trends. It's supposed to be an early warning
- 19:01Speaker 2: dashboard to help the state watch and anticipate potential workforce disruptions.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Developed with the University of California and the California Policy Lab,
- 19:10Speaker 2: state officials say it's going to inform policymakers and help
- 19:14Speaker 2: Californians understand how AI is affecting the workforce and the
- 19:18Speaker 2: broader job market.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Yeah, so it will be able to tell you why
- 19:24Speaker 4: there are no jobs or tell the state there are
- 19:26Speaker 4: no jobs. Not trying to figure out where the jobs are,
- 19:29Speaker 4: but just here's the reason we have no jobs.
- 19:32Speaker 3: I guess this is AI being used to a good effort.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Just try to figure out why people are unemployed and
- 19:39Speaker 4: where the employment trends are coming.
- 19:41Speaker 3: I'm okay with that.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Look, who's packing, Well, it can be just about anybody
- 19:47Speaker 2: who has a concealed carry permit. Licensed gun owners have
- 19:50Speaker 2: a right to carry a concealed firearms firearm into stores
- 19:54Speaker 2: and other private places unless the owner objects to it. Specifically,
- 19:59Speaker 2: that's the ruling from the Supreme Court. It was a
- 20:01Speaker 2: six to three decision. It extends gun rights, and it
- 20:05Speaker 2: strikes down laws in California, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey,
- 20:10Speaker 2: and Maryland. Those gun laws would prohibit carrying guns onto
- 20:16Speaker 2: private property that's open to the public, like a store,
- 20:19Speaker 2: unless the owner has authorized it.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have a quick question on this one.
- 20:23Speaker 3: This is an end around, I think.
- 20:26Speaker 4: And maybe I'm missing it, is that under the Supreme
- 20:29Speaker 4: Court case, now the gun owners have an absolute right
- 20:32Speaker 4: to have a concealed weapon, walking into a store or
- 20:36Speaker 4: walking into a private facility, private business that has that
- 20:42Speaker 4: did well, let.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Me put it this way. I'm trying to figure out
- 20:46Speaker 3: how to word this and that is heretofore.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Well, you know what, No, now, I'm just having too
- 20:54Speaker 4: hard of a time explaining it, because let me tell
- 20:57Speaker 4: you why I get paid to.
- 20:59Speaker 3: Explain things to people. I just wanted to point that out.
- 21:03Speaker 4: And this is my job, and you would think my
- 21:06Speaker 4: contract would read when I'm on the air, you cannot
- 21:10Speaker 4: explain anything with any exactness. So you must convolute, you
- 21:14Speaker 4: must scate, obfuscate, you must make it as complicated as
- 21:18Speaker 4: possible so no one understands it. So, ladies and gentlemen,
- 21:22Speaker 4: I have met that provision of my contract.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Okay, see something, Sparkly, say something. So California has an
- 21:32Speaker 2: illegal fireworks problem. Anyone who's been here for the fourth
- 21:34Speaker 2: of July knows it because it sounds like a war
- 21:36Speaker 2: zone for about six hours. But now cities are trying
- 21:40Speaker 2: to crack down, and one of the ways they're doing
- 21:43Speaker 2: that is by offering incentives for people who basically rat
- 21:48Speaker 2: out their friends and neighbors if they see people setting
- 21:52Speaker 2: off illegal fireworks. In San Louis Obispo County, there's a
- 21:57Speaker 2: reward of up to five hundred dollars for information leading
- 21:59Speaker 2: to the arrest or identification of people who are trying
- 22:02Speaker 2: to sell illegal fireworks. In Paramount, you could qualify for
- 22:06Speaker 2: a five hundred dollars reward for tips that lead to
- 22:08Speaker 2: a citation for use or possession and one thousand dollars
- 22:12Speaker 2: for tips that lead to an arrest for illegal sales.
- 22:15Speaker 2: In Maywood and Illegal Fireworks Rewards program offers up to
- 22:18Speaker 2: one thousand dollars for tips that lead to a citation
- 22:21Speaker 2: for people selling or setting off fireworks.
- 22:25Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of stupid to have fireworks at home.
- 22:27Speaker 4: La County does not let you have fireworks. Ventura County does.
- 22:31Speaker 4: You can buy what they're called safe and Sane fireworks,
- 22:34Speaker 4: and inevitably some we're going to report on July fifth,
- 22:38Speaker 4: Amy will report on some kids, some kid who's had
- 22:41Speaker 4: his hand blown off, and it is you know, it's
- 22:46Speaker 4: always a heartbreaker. I mean I remember one story we
- 22:48Speaker 4: do it the last year. The year before that, some
- 22:50Speaker 4: kid did have his hand blown off and one of
- 22:55Speaker 4: the people that were watching said to the crowd that
- 22:58Speaker 4: was there let's give him a hand literally.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So there are these dueling ballot measures. They're done,
- 23:10Speaker 2: but the fight isn't over. So Uber has been threatening
- 23:14Speaker 2: to put something on the ballot. California lawyers have been
- 23:17Speaker 2: threatening to put something on the ballot, and if either
- 23:22Speaker 2: one of them passed, it would cost the other like
- 23:26Speaker 2: hundreds not hundreds of millions, but tens of millions of dollars.
- 23:29Speaker 2: So Uber and lawyers from across the state have been
- 23:31Speaker 2: pouring tons of money into these ballot measures, and now
- 23:36Speaker 2: they've backed up, backed off on those. Governor Knewsom signed
- 23:40Speaker 2: a law to crackdown on inflated profits stemming from car
- 23:43Speaker 2: crash lawsuits. This was part of what was going to
- 23:45Speaker 2: be one of the ballot measures. So apparently this is
- 23:48Speaker 2: very interesting. Did not know this. If somebody, a law firm,
- 23:53Speaker 2: a personal injury lawyer, has a client who's heart in
- 23:55Speaker 2: an accident, the lawyer often sends that person to a
- 23:59Speaker 2: doctor who prefer surgery on a lean basis, meaning that
- 24:03Speaker 2: the doctor is going to be paid from the money
- 24:05Speaker 2: that comes from a lawsuit settlement rather than from insurance,
- 24:08Speaker 2: so they can generate the price.
- 24:09Speaker 4: It's a little more complicated than that because they first
- 24:11Speaker 4: go to insurance and then they go to the lean holder,
- 24:15Speaker 4: and it's you know, I've been involved in personal injury
- 24:17Speaker 4: for a long time, so this actually is a little complicated.
- 24:21Speaker 4: But the bottom line is Uber effectively was going to
- 24:24Speaker 4: take the personal injury law law out out of California period,
- 24:29Speaker 4: and then the lawyers were going to make it very
- 24:32Speaker 4: difficult for Uber to do business because of the liability
- 24:36Speaker 4: They're looking at these two provisions. These two propositions had
- 24:43Speaker 4: nothing to do with each other. It was just the
- 24:45Speaker 4: lawyers going, Okay, you do this, We're going to hit you.
- 24:50Speaker 4: The Uber going Uber were going, okay, you do this,
- 24:52Speaker 4: We're going to hit you. So they've agreed, everybody gave
- 24:55Speaker 4: up a little bit, and they've come to some conclusion
- 24:59Speaker 4: that I guess, well, no one's unhappy, which means that
- 25:02Speaker 4: it's a pretty good deal. Uber is unhappy, and I
- 25:05Speaker 4: think the lawyers are unhappy, and it's and I have
- 25:09Speaker 4: to explain. It would take a while for me to
- 25:10Speaker 4: explain how it all this works, because, as usual in
- 25:13Speaker 4: the news, we can only go so far. Also, by
- 25:16Speaker 4: the way, I did figure out how to tell you
- 25:19Speaker 4: what the previous case was about the guns, but I'm
- 25:22Speaker 4: not going to all right.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Uh okay, So a new layer of security. Next time
- 25:31Speaker 2: you go to CityWalk, you're going to have to go
- 25:34Speaker 2: through security. Now you have to go through security to
- 25:37Speaker 2: go into theme parks, but generally CityWalk at Universal Studios
- 25:40Speaker 2: you could just walk into. But now you don't need
- 25:44Speaker 2: a ticket to enter the area, but you will still
- 25:46Speaker 2: have to go through the same security protocols and wait
- 25:49Speaker 2: in line to go through a metal detector, have your
- 25:51Speaker 2: bag scanned. So far actually the response is pretty positive.
- 25:56Speaker 2: But that's to go in, have a bite to eat,
- 25:59Speaker 2: go to the Eye Max, and just an extra layer
- 26:02Speaker 2: of security and keep people safe.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's gotten the point.
- 26:06Speaker 4: For example, you go through an airport, I used to
- 26:08Speaker 4: go through the when I used to go to the
- 26:09Speaker 4: airport that of course, as you did, they didn't have
- 26:12Speaker 4: the pat downs, they didn't have the metal detectors, they
- 26:13Speaker 4: didn't have the X rays. The more they do, the
- 26:15Speaker 4: happier I am, because bad guys are out there and
- 26:19Speaker 4: they shoot places up.
- 26:21Speaker 3: So I'm flying with this.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And like if you go to Downtown Disney, have to
- 26:25Speaker 2: go through security to get into that area, into that
- 26:28Speaker 2: little quarridor getting frozen out. A New York City panel
- 26:33Speaker 2: has approved a rent freeze for roughly a million rent
- 26:37Speaker 2: regulated apartments. It's a big win for Mayor Zorn Mom Donnie,
- 26:42Speaker 2: who's promised to cap housing costs was a signature part
- 26:45Speaker 2: of his election campaign. The city's rent Guidelines Board voted
- 26:49Speaker 2: seven to one yesterday for zero percent rent increases on
- 26:53Speaker 2: one and two year leases.
- 26:55Speaker 4: As President Trump is controlling the Republican Party, Mom, looks
- 27:01Speaker 4: like he is on his way to controlling the progressive
- 27:04Speaker 4: wing of the Democratic Party. The guy just got elected
- 27:08Speaker 4: and now he's he's already a kingmaker. His Wow, his
- 27:14Speaker 4: power is extraordinary in such a short amount of time.
- 27:17Speaker 3: So, yep, you're going to see a very very liberal
- 27:21Speaker 3: New York.
- 27:21Speaker 4: Not that it's not already super liberal, but he's going
- 27:24Speaker 4: to take the progressive movement. This may even be on
- 27:28Speaker 4: the presidency side. The running of the presidency to campaign
- 27:32Speaker 4: a George McGovern situation where the left wing of the
- 27:36Speaker 4: party completely co opted on the Democratic Party, much like
- 27:40Speaker 4: the right wing of the Republican Party has completely co
- 27:43Speaker 4: opted the rest of the party. Polarization taken to a
- 27:47Speaker 4: yet a new level. Okay, coming up big issue about
- 27:52Speaker 4: the cost of healthcare. We have a governor's race coming up,
- 27:56Speaker 4: and man are their differences.
- 27:58Speaker 3: In the way we view it.
- 27:59Speaker 4: And we Californians have to make some choices and they're
- 28:02Speaker 4: not easy ones either.
