- 3:27Speaker 5: addition to doing it. But I'll tell you what I'm
- 3:29Speaker 5: going to do with Neil this year, something we've never
- 3:33Speaker 5: done before, and that is we are going.
- 3:37Speaker 3: To broadcast on the beach.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, this is Neil and I are going
- 3:43Speaker 5: to show you our romantic interlude.
- 3:45Speaker 2: That's correct.
- 3:46Speaker 5: Here's what we're going to do, Neil and I. Neil
- 3:50Speaker 5: does the Fork Report, of course, every Saturday from two
- 3:52Speaker 5: to five, and sometimes he does remotes and broadcasts from
- 3:56Speaker 5: various locations, and I usually join Neil for those. We
- 4:00Speaker 5: are having a sort of a private broadcast where the
- 4:05Speaker 5: public is not invited, and it's going to be at
- 4:08Speaker 5: my house. It's going to be a grilling barbecue event
- 4:14Speaker 5: at my house where the high bidder will be invited
- 4:19Speaker 5: to my house and we have about twenty people there,
- 4:21Speaker 5: mainly friends and family. Is going to be a very
- 4:23Speaker 5: private event and two people will be invited will be
- 4:28Speaker 5: that will be auctioned off to join us.
- 4:30Speaker 2: It'll be catered by Anaheim White House.
- 4:33Speaker 5: We also have some great goodies to give away, including
- 4:37Speaker 5: some platinum not Cookwar set of knives, seventeen set of knives,
- 4:44Speaker 5: a very high end set of knives retail two thousand dollars,
- 4:48Speaker 5: a year's worth of Zellman's mentee mouth and we're still
- 4:52Speaker 5: putting stuff together so that if we don't get the
- 4:57Speaker 5: most money for this auction, I am quitting this sh shoh.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 5:02Speaker 5: So here's what's going to happen is people are going
- 5:06Speaker 5: to they're going to join the auction, They're going to bid,
- 5:10Speaker 5: and all of the other hosts will call them up
- 5:12Speaker 5: and pay them more money than what they're bidding.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Not to bid, you might incentifize people not to bid.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Now, yeah, that's gonna be a problem. But anyways, it
- 5:24Speaker 2: became a complete competition. Yeah, oh, it's.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Always a competition. And the Morning Crew will be there.
- 5:31Speaker 5: They're joining us because I was shamed into inviting them.
- 5:34Speaker 6: Well maybe we don't want to go.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't confirm. I just said i'd invite you.
- 5:39Speaker 2: And I don't know when I said.
- 5:42Speaker 5: When I said to lindsay I didn't invite them, she
- 5:45Speaker 5: laid into me. Anyway, the morning crew is invited, and
- 5:50Speaker 5: we'll see how many people join us. There'll be grill
- 5:52Speaker 5: masters there, they'll be pit masters there. There's gonna be
- 5:55Speaker 5: a lot of food there and just hang out while
- 5:59Speaker 5: Neil and I broadcasts, and it's it's gonna be a
- 6:03Speaker 5: great art at my house. We've never done that, never ever, Neil,
- 6:07Speaker 5: have you ever had You've never had listeners at your house? No?
- 6:12Speaker 5: Uh and uh, Amy, you've never had anybody at your
- 6:15Speaker 5: two hundred square feet apartment.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Not.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Well, yes, I have, well, not our listeners and not
- 6:23Speaker 2: an option item.
- 6:23Speaker 5: Oh, you're you're right, okay, andret what and Will has
- 6:29Speaker 5: I'm sure never done that. And I'm sure and has

- 6:35Speaker 4: And so listeners over to my backyard and cook for
- 6:38Speaker 4: them as well.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Have you had listeners?
- 6:40Speaker 3: I've never done that, but I would love to.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Okay, well we're starting.
- 6:45Speaker 5: Okay, then maybe next year we do one at my
- 6:49Speaker 5: house and a separate one at your house.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Oh great, Now I got to make a cardboard elevator.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Yeah you do. And oh there's a lot of things.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Well, Neil has written the the announced. Yeah, and one
- 7:05Speaker 5: of the one of the big big auction items is
- 7:09Speaker 5: you get to sit on my chair where I broadcast
- 7:13Speaker 5: Keeping in Mind. During the summer, I broadcast Commando. So
- 7:18Speaker 5: you'll be sitting where my bare ass sits for weeks
- 7:21Speaker 5: at a time. That is going to be the item
- 7:25Speaker 5: that's going to be auctioned off at the highest price. Okay,
- 7:29Speaker 5: are you guys ready to go? And that I think
- 7:30Speaker 5: that starts on Monday. The auction items are put on
- 7:33Speaker 5: the website. If I am not mistaken, Okay, let's do it, guys.
- 7:38Speaker 5: We've got plenty to cover obviously on this Thursday morning,
- 7:43Speaker 5: handle on the news, Amy Neil me lead story.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Jeff some good sign the bill.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Forcing mandating the Justice Department to release the Epstein file,
- 7:58Speaker 5: of which it has and for months President Trump was
- 8:03Speaker 5: pushing like crazy not to release it, as the Republicans
- 8:07Speaker 5: were pushing like crazy not to release it, as Pam Bondy,
- 8:11Speaker 5: the Attorney General, was part of not releasing it. Of course,
- 8:15Speaker 5: everybody's changed their mind because we're talking about pedophiles here
- 8:19Speaker 5: and that's not going to fly not releasing it. However,
- 8:23Speaker 5: as I said yesterday, is it going to be released
- 8:25Speaker 5: only part of it? Because all Pam Bondi had to
- 8:29Speaker 5: do was say, we're opening up an investigation, and therefore
- 8:33Speaker 5: we don't have to release any part of the investigation.
- 8:38Speaker 2: So what does that mean?
- 8:39Speaker 5: You're going to see a modified release, just like I said,
- 8:45Speaker 5: and the investigation includes only Democrats. However, you betcha that
- 8:50Speaker 5: any mention of Trump is also going to be not mentioned.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Didn't she originally say that the Justice Department said they
- 8:59Speaker 4: did not cover evidence that could predicate and investigation.
- 9:03Speaker 5: She did, and she was asked yesterday, wait a second,
- 9:06Speaker 5: you changed your mind. You said that you the just
- 9:10Speaker 5: a department looked at it and there was nothing there.
- 9:13Speaker 5: Why are you opening up the investigation? We found new information?
- 9:18Speaker 5: What new information? I can't tell you. It's under investigation,
- 9:23Speaker 5: it's it's this is a croc This is an obfuscation
- 9:28Speaker 5: of what's going on.
- 9:29Speaker 4: No surprise. Could it be no surprise at all because
- 9:31Speaker 4: he's president. Could it be requested that anything that involves
- 9:35Speaker 4: or has the name of President Trump not in the
- 9:37Speaker 4: investigation be released?
- 9:39Speaker 5: Oh? Sure, but that but this is a bill that
- 9:42Speaker 5: the president would veto unless that was changed, because there's
- 9:46Speaker 5: no chance that it's all going to be released. This
- 9:48Speaker 5: is a political cover up. It's that simple. This is
- 9:52Speaker 5: just a croc no surprise there. And I said that yesterday,
- 9:56Speaker 5: and I've said that before. And here there's another issue
- 10:00Speaker 5: with a Justice Department.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Rookie mistake or malicious omission. The Justice Department lawyers have
- 10:08Speaker 6: acknowledged that a full grand jury never actually reviewed the
- 10:12Speaker 6: indictment filed against former FBI director James Comy. So here's
- 10:16Speaker 6: what happened. Apparently, prosecutors said the grand jury had declined
- 10:21Speaker 6: to approve one of three proposed counts. Remember they filed three.
- 10:24Speaker 6: They said no to one. So then rather than present
- 10:30Speaker 6: a new revised document that only included the two counts,
- 10:35Speaker 6: they gave it to the four person to just sign
- 10:39Speaker 6: it before it was delivered to a judge. And that
- 10:42Speaker 6: is where the whole issue is is that the full
- 10:45Speaker 6: grand jury never saw the full indictment.
- 10:47Speaker 2: And that's the law, by the way.
- 10:49Speaker 5: And now you have a judge that is asking this
- 10:52Speaker 5: prosecutor who has never prosecuted a case in her life.
- 10:56Speaker 5: She was a civil attorney that was put into place
- 10:59Speaker 5: to place the prosecutor who said there was no evidence
- 11:03Speaker 5: against or not enough evidence against Komi, who was promptly
- 11:06Speaker 5: fired and replaced by this non prosecutorial expert who is
- 11:12Speaker 5: now the attorney, the US attorney. I think it's Virginia
- 11:17Speaker 5: where it was filed. This case is going to fall apart.
- 11:21Speaker 5: It's that simple. This case is going to fall apart.
- 11:24Speaker 5: And I think the problem is he's the president is
- 11:28Speaker 5: not going to be able to say that this was
- 11:34Speaker 5: a left wing, you know, left wing judge, a radical
- 11:39Speaker 5: left wing judge. I think he's the one that appointed
- 11:43Speaker 5: this judge. If I'm not mistaken, I think so. I
- 11:47Speaker 5: may be wrong on that. Anyway, the indictment is going
- 11:51Speaker 5: to be dropped. The case is going to be dropped.
- 11:53Speaker 5: The court is going to dismiss it with prejudice, which
- 11:56Speaker 5: means it will not be able to be brought again.
- 11:59Speaker 5: It's you know, so this is what the Department of
- 12:01Speaker 5: Justice is doing let's go after people no matter what
- 12:04Speaker 5: the evidence is.
- 12:05Speaker 4: All right, you know, you see universities here in California
- 12:10Speaker 4: love a good protest and unless it's about tuition. So
- 12:16Speaker 4: confronting all these costs and demands, of course, the problems
- 12:22Speaker 4: with federal funding and the gaps they're in, you have
- 12:25Speaker 4: the University of California regents on Wednesday approving a tuition hike.
- 12:30Speaker 4: So yeah, even though you had they voted, the board
- 12:36Speaker 4: voted thirteen to three, even though they had a bunch
- 12:40Speaker 4: of students protesting.
- 12:42Speaker 5: Yeah, they can't.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Afford to keep on going.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Do you see as losing money, particularly because inflation is
- 12:49Speaker 5: hit and tuition is not kept up with inflation. You've
- 12:52Speaker 5: got federal money that's been cut because of the Trump administration.
- 12:56Speaker 5: You have state money that's been cut because we're looking
- 12:59Speaker 5: at it eighteen billion dollar deficit this year in the
- 13:03Speaker 5: state budget. So put all that together, it's going to
- 13:05Speaker 5: cost you a chunk to go to University of California.
- 13:08Speaker 4: I'm surprised they didn't come out to quell all the
- 13:10Speaker 4: anger and say, listen, this is because of the Jews.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Precisely. That's a good point that's a very good point.
- 13:20Speaker 5: Yamica's would become illegal. And all people have to say is,
- 13:24Speaker 5: wait a minute, I have a costume. That's a pope costume.
- 13:28Speaker 5: That's why I'm wearing this. Or you can put a
- 13:31Speaker 5: propeller on it and say this is not a Yamica.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Okay, that is a visual. Moving on.
- 13:37Speaker 6: We may buy all of our stuff from China, but
- 13:39Speaker 6: Mexico is buying all its stuff from US. Mexico is
- 13:43Speaker 6: now the world's top buyer of US goods, outpacing Canada
- 13:47Speaker 6: for the first time in nearly thirty years. Just two
- 13:49Speaker 6: years ago, Mexico, Mexico became the country that sold the
- 13:52Speaker 6: most goods to the US, sur passing China. So you know,
- 13:57Speaker 6: we're buddies. Mexico is the United States, It's main trading park, and.
- 14:01Speaker 5: There are several reasons for reasons for that, and I'll
- 14:04Speaker 5: cover that at seven o'clock as we move on.
- 14:10Speaker 4: All right, Larry Summers, who is an instructor at Harvard,
- 14:16Speaker 4: is immediately leaving due to an Epstein pro turns out
- 14:22Speaker 4: he was buddies, and he said, some of you will
- 14:25Speaker 4: have seen my statement of regret expressing my shame with
- 14:29Speaker 4: respect to what I did in communication with mister Epstein,
- 14:35Speaker 4: he tells a bunch of students during a video he
- 14:39Speaker 4: posted online. But he's under scrutiny emails just this month.
- 14:44Speaker 5: Yeah, way too close to relationship. Not necessarily you're probably
- 14:48Speaker 5: not sexually with minors. I don't think that happened, but
- 14:52Speaker 5: just way too close to Epstein emails, going back and
- 14:56Speaker 5: forth and even seeking advice from EPs Steen on his
- 15:01Speaker 5: love life. And we have a new verb, and that
- 15:05Speaker 5: is to handle. And that involves asking people for sex
- 15:10Speaker 5: and all of them say no, and then saying, Okay,
- 15:13Speaker 5: what do I do? And that's asking Epstein for that
- 15:16Speaker 5: kind of advice. All right, I had to go there,
- 15:18Speaker 5: you know, bad joke, self clothing, self loathing.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Jew September's jobs report just dropped, and it's hot. US
- 15:28Speaker 6: economy added a whole lot more jobs than expected. One
- 15:32Speaker 6: hundred nineteen thousand jobs were added for September. Again, this
- 15:36Speaker 6: is not October numbers, where we might never get those
- 15:39Speaker 6: because of the shutdown, But in September, one hundred and
- 15:42Speaker 6: nineteen thousand additional jobs of the estimates were that it
- 15:46Speaker 6: was going to be about fifty thousand. Also, average hourly
- 15:49Speaker 6: earnings increased point two percent for the month, three point
- 15:52Speaker 6: eight percent from a year ago.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Yeah, great for the administration's position that the economy is
- 15:58Speaker 5: actually doing Okay, Now, is this report prior to those
- 16:03Speaker 5: massive layoffs that Amazon and other major players created or had.
- 16:10Speaker 5: I don't know the timeline here. Oh, let's check, because
- 16:13Speaker 5: there were hundreds of thousands of layoffs and people were
- 16:16Speaker 5: being laid off because of AI and that's increasing in numbers.
- 16:21Speaker 5: So either it's terrific news for the administration and Donald
- 16:25Speaker 5: Trump's position regarding the economy, or the numbers aren't in
- 16:30Speaker 5: that actually show the problems we may have and we
- 16:34Speaker 5: may not.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Amy's looking do do dude.
- 16:38Speaker 6: Doo do do saying that they're huge. Just they laid
- 16:42Speaker 6: off like ten thousand, but that was a couple of
- 16:43Speaker 6: years ago for the fourteen thousand corporate jobs in the Yeah,
- 16:48Speaker 6: but it.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Was Amazon laid off three hundred thousand people. So we'll see.
- 16:54Speaker 5: But right now, it's very good news for the administration
- 16:58Speaker 5: in terms of the economy.
- 17:01Speaker 3: However, we're not all dead yet.
- 17:03Speaker 5: Yeah, and the next story doesn't make any sense anymore
- 17:07Speaker 5: because it's a cooling economy sets the stage for the
- 17:11Speaker 5: high stakes report.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Well, we got the report.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Okay, Bill, this is saying that Amazon laid off thirty thousand,
- 17:17Speaker 6: not three hundred thousand.
- 17:18Speaker 2: All right, So I'm bad at decimal points.
- 17:21Speaker 6: Wow, it's still a lot.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not three hundred thousand.
- 17:25Speaker 5: You know, it's got a decimal point and buy something
- 17:28Speaker 5: for thirty bucks or you think it's thirty dollars and
- 17:30Speaker 5: it's actually three hundred.
- 17:32Speaker 2: That's problematic.
- 17:36Speaker 4: One more and then when he has to do inches,
- 17:39Speaker 4: all right, Trump Advance not invited to Dick Cheney's funeral,
- 17:44Speaker 4: but every other of the four living former vice presidents attending.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Wow?
- 17:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that will you talk about a you talk about
- 17:57Speaker 2: a statement?
- 17:57Speaker 5: Right?
- 17:58Speaker 2: Oh?
- 17:59Speaker 5: Man.
- 18:00Speaker 6: I mean it's well known that those two can't stand
- 18:03Speaker 6: each other exactly.
- 18:04Speaker 5: But at the same time, how do you not invite
- 18:07Speaker 5: a sitting president and a sitting vice president. Yeah.
- 18:10Speaker 2: It just shows how personal this has gotten.
- 18:14Speaker 5: And of course I expect to hear because of the
- 18:17Speaker 5: invitation not being sent to Trump in advance. I think
- 18:22Speaker 5: we're going to get a statement saying this is a
- 18:24Speaker 5: radical left wing funeral, let's a hoax that there's no
- 18:29Speaker 5: one's actually being buried.
- 18:32Speaker 3: He's going to.
- 18:32Speaker 5: Say, yes, that's a good point. Yeah, I mean, that's
- 18:38Speaker 5: that's a statement. It really is you talk about. All right,
- 18:44Speaker 5: Moving on.
- 18:45Speaker 6: Who's pitching in and why. Democrats have introduced a legislation
- 18:50Speaker 6: to put guard rails around those donations that are going
- 18:53Speaker 6: to pay for construction on the White House grounds. President
- 18:58Speaker 6: tump Trump soited private money to help fund that three
- 19:02Speaker 6: hundred million dollar East Wing ballroom. The legislation is sponsored
- 19:07Speaker 6: by Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts and California Representative Robert Garcia.
- 19:14Speaker 6: It would prevent prohibit the president from soliciting donations, ban
- 19:19Speaker 6: the display of donor names, bar donors from remaining anonymous,
- 19:24Speaker 6: and would also put in place a two year cooling
- 19:27Speaker 6: off period in which donors would be prohibited from lobbying
- 19:31Speaker 6: the government. It's called the Stop Ballroom Bribery Act.
- 19:35Speaker 5: Assuming it passes the House Representatives, no chance, and it
- 19:39Speaker 5: passes the Senate, no chance. What are the chances of
- 19:43Speaker 5: the President vetoing yet? One hundred percent.
- 19:48Speaker 6: They'd have to get a super majority to stop that.
- 19:50Speaker 2: That is correct, and there is no chance.
- 19:56Speaker 4: All right, Let's see toenail clippers new over three ounces,
- 20:01Speaker 4: No meat cleaver let them in.
- 20:04Speaker 3: So somehow a.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Meat cleaver made its way through the airport security onto
- 20:12Speaker 4: a Delta flight. The incident occurred at Portland International Airport
- 20:18Speaker 4: in Oregon on November thirteenth. Now, you know, they don't
- 20:25Speaker 4: know how it got through at this point, so they're
- 20:27Speaker 4: opening up this investigation. But according to the TSA, the
- 20:31Speaker 4: passenger passed through the security checkpoint with the meat cleaver
- 20:35Speaker 4: in their carry on bag, so it didn't even go
- 20:38Speaker 4: under the plane.
- 20:40Speaker 6: So under the plane would have been legal, Right, you can.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Pass Yeah, I think it would be Yeah, I think.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Yeah, because you can take your guns too, they just
- 20:49Speaker 4: have to be locked up and going into there. But yeah,
- 20:53Speaker 4: and it's not a small knife. If you've ever seen
- 20:56Speaker 4: a cleaver, now, this is a murder murder knife.
- 20:59Speaker 5: This is yeah, yeah, you chop people up with it.
- 21:02Speaker 5: This is a dismember yeah, okay, weighted yeah.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Uh.
- 21:09Speaker 6: California is coming up short way short budgetary woes continue
- 21:15Speaker 6: worse than expected. State lawmakers are said to be expected
- 21:19Speaker 6: to grapple with a nearly eighteen billion dollars shortfall next year.
- 21:23Speaker 6: That's five billion dollars more than estimates from just in June.
- 21:27Speaker 6: According to the Legislative Analysts Office, State costs for medical
- 21:32Speaker 6: and CALFRASH, which provide healthcare and food assistance to Californians
- 21:35Speaker 6: in need. We're one point three billion dollars more than anticipated.
- 21:39Speaker 6: Apparently that's due to federal cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill,
- 21:42Speaker 6: and obviously other areas as well.
- 21:45Speaker 5: Yeah, pencils are more expensive, for example, the state's expenses
- 21:50Speaker 5: far more than anticipated, although you know, you look at
- 21:54Speaker 5: inflation and a couple of propositions that were passed. I
- 21:58Speaker 5: think when Newsome came into office, he had a twenty
- 22:01Speaker 5: five billion dollar surplus.
- 22:04Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't that many.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Years ago a big surplus.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It was huge.
- 22:08Speaker 6: You better fix it. If he's running for president.
- 22:11Speaker 5: You bet, because that's going to be uh, that's not
- 22:15Speaker 5: going to be easy to dispute or refute.
- 22:17Speaker 2: All right, let's do one more and we'll take a
- 22:19Speaker 2: breath that dipity do.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Sorry to all the foil heads.
- 22:23Speaker 4: NASA yesterday released new images and data on Comment three
- 22:27Speaker 4: I at Liss and it's a rare interstellar object, but
- 22:33Speaker 4: a lot of speculation, a lot of online debate on
- 22:38Speaker 4: whether it was a spacecraft.
- 22:40Speaker 3: And they said this object is a comment.
- 22:45Speaker 6: Oh, what are they gonna say?
- 22:46Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Amy K King, knock it off.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Amy.
- 22:50Speaker 5: Are they going to say this is a plot by
- 22:54Speaker 5: either left wing or right wing fanatics, which is probably
- 22:59Speaker 5: flying around on the internet.
- 23:01Speaker 2: It turns out it's a comment.
- 23:02Speaker 5: What makes it interesting is just one pass past the
- 23:05Speaker 5: Earth and then it's gone into the solar system. We'll
- 23:08Speaker 5: never see it again.
- 23:09Speaker 6: And it's not going to exactly be close. It's going
- 23:12Speaker 6: to be one hundred and seventy million miles away when
- 23:14Speaker 6: it gets close stealing that might be close.
- 23:18Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty close as far as a comment wise.
- 23:22Speaker 5: All right, let's finish up handle on the news on

- 23:45Speaker 6: that it did reach out because of a commitment made
- 23:48Speaker 6: to New Yorkers. Mom Donnie said, I would be willing
- 23:50Speaker 6: to meet with anyone and everyone is, so long as
- 23:52Speaker 6: it is to benefit the eight point five million people
- 23:55Speaker 6: who call the city home and their struggle to afford
- 23:57Speaker 6: the most expensive city in the U s of a.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Yeah, and the President still called him a communist, ripped
- 24:07Speaker 5: into him, but will meet him, which.
- 24:10Speaker 6: He says he'll talk to anybody.

- 24:41Speaker 4: Billionaires everywhere. Prominent democrat, very very deep pockets.
- 24:46Speaker 3: We've heard his name.
- 24:47Speaker 4: He's a hedge fund founder and activist, Tom Steyer. He
- 24:52Speaker 4: announced his candidacy yesterday and he's going to run for
- 24:58Speaker 4: California governor because that's what we need.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Didn't run for president.
- 25:05Speaker 5: He did, and he got three votes and they were
- 25:09Speaker 5: all family members.
- 25:12Speaker 6: He actually finished third in South Carolina.
- 25:15Speaker 5: That's interesting. South Carolina is not a particularly liberal state,
- 25:19Speaker 5: is it.
- 25:20Speaker 6: That's the one that Biden won that kind of put
- 25:23Speaker 6: him back in the race.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Then It's a pretty liberal state, isn't it. It was
- 25:29Speaker 5: similar was Clyborne? Wasn't it that really did it? And
- 25:34Speaker 5: he's from South Carolina? Yes, Carolina Claiborne.

- 25:46Speaker 6: dollar drug trafficking or drug trafficking organization has been charged
- 25:50Speaker 6: with ordering the murder of a witness against him earlier
- 25:53Speaker 6: this year. Ryan Wedding is Canadian. He is on the
- 25:57Speaker 6: FBI's ten most wanted fugitive list. He apparently put out
- 26:02Speaker 6: the order earlier this year. And a person was shot
- 26:05Speaker 6: to death in a restaurant in Meta Yine, Columbia. That
- 26:07Speaker 6: happened in January of this year. A Wedding, who is
- 26:10Speaker 6: forty four years old, is believed to be a fugitive
- 26:12Speaker 6: in Mexico.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Yeah, that is weird.
- 26:17Speaker 5: And I don't even know if he speaks Spanish, does
- 26:20Speaker 5: he does he have any you know? I mean Ryan
- 26:23Speaker 5: Wedding his last name. And if you look at a
- 26:27Speaker 5: picture of him, he does not look Hispanic. I know
- 26:29Speaker 5: that's completely racist. You can't say that someone looks Hispanic.
- 26:34Speaker 3: What do they look like Bill.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Oh God, don't do that to me. Please.
- 26:40Speaker 5: You know what, ask Tom Holman. I don't know, Okay,

- 26:57Speaker 3: Yes, you get him from the payas dispense.
- 27:00Speaker 5: Oh, not bad, not bad. Okay, I'm going to use
