Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
0:04
Speaker 1: AM six forty. You are listening to the Bill Handle Show.
0:09
Speaker 1: Here's Neil Savedray Monkey Uggy.
0:21
Speaker 2: By AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
0:25
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, Good morning, Neil Savadra in the morning crew
0:28
Speaker 2: with you.
0:29
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday.
0:30
Speaker 2: It's Yom Kippor today, So Bill Handle is taking the
0:34
Speaker 2: day off for his deeply, deeply religious beliefs and we'll
0:39
Speaker 2: be back tomorrow. Jane Goodall died ninety one years good.
0:47
Speaker 1: For her.
0:49
Speaker 2: Stands tall as one of those people that permeates just
0:53
Speaker 2: about everyone's consciousness. We all knew about her from whether
1:02
Speaker 2: it be documentaries or her speaking or I'll tell you
1:07
Speaker 2: something how she ties to Disney coming up in a
1:10
Speaker 2: moment too Amy k King. But Jane Goodall most of
1:14
Speaker 2: us know. Renowned British primatologist, mythologist, anthropologist, a bunch of ists.
1:22
Speaker 2: But really the groundbreaking work that you know the movies
1:27
Speaker 2: were made out of and documentaries told about was with
1:32
Speaker 2: chimpanzees in Tanzania. She was born April third, nineteen thirty four,
1:38
Speaker 2: in London, England. She had a deep love that only
1:43
Speaker 2: got deeper for animals very early age, fascinated with wildlife
1:50
Speaker 2: and in particularly Africa, and she said they were sparked
1:55
Speaker 2: by such books as Tarzan of the Apes, the Story
1:58
Speaker 2: of Doctor Doolittle. And she had no formal scientific training
2:03
Speaker 2: and she started to travel to Kenya. This was back
2:06
Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty seven. She met the famous anthropologist Luis Leaky,
2:13
Speaker 2: who would later support and mentor her research. And it's
2:17
Speaker 2: interesting if you follow her life and go through her
2:20
Speaker 2: biographies the people that touched her life and came in
2:23
Speaker 2: and out of her life, that guided and gave mentorships
2:27
Speaker 2: as well. In nineteen sixty Goodall began her landmark study
2:32
Speaker 2: of chimpanzees, and this was in a national park there
2:36
Speaker 2: in Tanzania. What she observed became, you know, a totally
2:44
Speaker 2: different scientific understanding of primates. She was the first to
2:49
Speaker 2: document chimpanzees making and using tools, and that before that
2:56
Speaker 2: we thought that was uniquely human, noted very complex social behaviors,
3:02
Speaker 2: emotional expressions, even family bonds among chimpanzee communities.
3:08
Speaker 1: So all these long held assumptions.
3:10
Speaker 2: That we had that divided us between chimpanzees and what
3:14
Speaker 2: we do, a lot of them were squashed. All this
3:20
Speaker 2: work led to a PhD eventually from the University of Cambridge,
3:26
Speaker 2: and she was one of the few people to earn
3:28
Speaker 2: a doctorate without first obtaining a bachelor's degree. I mean,
3:31
Speaker 2: she just is an incredible and was an incredible person
3:36
Speaker 2: recognized globally as an advocate for environmental sustainability, animal war, welfare,
3:43
Speaker 2: rather and youth empowerment. As far as the Disney tie in,
3:48
Speaker 2: I love this and that she when they were building
3:54
Speaker 2: in the nineteen nineties, when they were building the Disney's
3:58
Speaker 2: Animal Kingdom there in floor, she became one of the advisors.
4:04
Speaker 2: So Disney really wanted to do it right, make sure
4:07
Speaker 2: that it was done with integrity and with an understanding
4:11
Speaker 2: of the animal's needs and not just throwing together, you know,
4:15
Speaker 2: a park. So she reviewed the concept the whole time,
4:21
Speaker 2: provided guidance to ensure that the facility, all the exhibits
4:25
Speaker 2: therein reflected you know, good practices for animal care, authenticity
4:31
Speaker 2: in portraying wildlife. And she was present during all that time,
4:37
Speaker 2: during its construction phase, and she was there for the
4:41
Speaker 2: grand opening. And so I went down that rabbit hole
4:45
Speaker 2: one time looking at all the things she did there
4:47
Speaker 2: and being impressed with everything that she brought to the
4:51
Speaker 2: table so much so.
4:52
Speaker 1: One of the most.
4:53
Speaker 2: Visible tributes to her to Jane Goodall at the Disneyland
4:57
Speaker 2: parks there in Florida, is the Tree of Life life
5:00
Speaker 2: sculpture that's there at Disney's Animal Kingdom. There's a big
5:04
Speaker 2: plaque on it dedicated Jane Goodall and a carving of
5:08
Speaker 2: David Graybeard, the first chimpanzee, rather to approach her during
5:15
Speaker 2: her early research. And there's few people in our lives
5:22
Speaker 2: that I think you hear their name, and they don't.
5:30
Speaker 2: They don't bring with it any luggage negatively, and she
5:36
Speaker 2: is one of those people. And when I heard of
5:39
Speaker 2: her passing yesterday, I started, you know, reading more about her.
5:43
Speaker 2: And of course we've learned things in school and then
5:46
Speaker 2: those of us have watched documentaries and different interests comes
5:50
Speaker 2: our way. And there's something about certain people that are
5:55
Speaker 2: single focused in life. And it's not just knowing from
6:00
Speaker 2: a young age like she did, because a lot of us,
6:03
Speaker 2: you know, from a young age were turned on to
6:05
Speaker 2: something or became impassioned. It was the integrity in which
6:10
Speaker 2: she did it. And there are a handful of people
6:13
Speaker 2: that just transcend the garbage and noise of life, politics, religion,
6:24
Speaker 2: social construct it.
6:26
Speaker 1: And she did that, and I.
6:28
Speaker 3: Think that they the similarity is always these people with
6:33
Speaker 3: a again with the word transcending, a transcending view, a purpose,
6:40
Speaker 3: a goal.
6:41
Speaker 2: That it is above the noise, and it's like they
6:45
Speaker 2: live in this higher plane, not spiritual, but like that's
6:49
Speaker 2: above the social garbage. And I'm wondering what we can
6:55
Speaker 2: take from her, not just the studies and the science,
6:59
Speaker 2: but the quality of the life that she chose to
7:04
Speaker 2: surround herself with. I mean, she'd been married, I think
7:07
Speaker 2: at least twice. I mean, her life wasn't perfect in
7:10
Speaker 2: any way, I'm sure, but there's something about that single purpose.
7:14
Speaker 2: It seems like people jump around, even activists, are jumping
7:18
Speaker 2: where the noise is trying to get the most eyes
7:22
Speaker 2: on them, and where she was quietly dedicated and only
7:28
Speaker 2: only took the linlight when it was purposeful to push
7:31
Speaker 2: that single goal. And there's a success in that. And
7:36
Speaker 2: I was once told by one of the mentors here
7:39
Speaker 2: at KFI, Greg Ashlock, great guy, love Greg, but he
7:46
Speaker 2: said that, you know, reminded me one time that success,
7:49
Speaker 2: really successful people just do what other people don't want
7:52
Speaker 2: to do, whether it's lazy or uninspired, whatever it is,
7:57
Speaker 2: and that that consistency and single purpose and focus I
8:01
Speaker 2: think that drives special people like Jane Goodall can be
8:05
Speaker 2: a lesson to all of us. It just it's superior
8:10
Speaker 2: than what most of us do on a daily basis.
8:12
Speaker 2: It is, and I'm not downgrading the things that we
8:15
Speaker 2: all do in our lives, so I don't care what
8:16
Speaker 2: you're doing. It makes the system go. But there's something
8:22
Speaker 2: about that single focus and kind of leaving traditional once
8:26
Speaker 2: behind stuff things that clutter our homes, those types of things,
8:32
Speaker 2: and the purest, simplest way of living to be able
8:35
Speaker 2: to connect, in her case, with nature teaches us a lesson.
8:40
Speaker 2: All right, So we're going to shut down and we
8:43
Speaker 2: hear these terms all the time.
8:44
Speaker 1: What does it really mean?
8:45
Speaker 2: We'll get more into that, but let's look and see why,
8:48
Speaker 2: why what is this happening? So the recent government shut
8:53
Speaker 2: shut down day two, I think my guess is tomorrow,
8:57
Speaker 2: if we're going to shutdown, that's when you're going to
8:59
Speaker 2: start hearing.
9:00
Speaker 1: At least it.
9:02
Speaker 2: I think people will start being laid off tomorrow, that's
9:04
Speaker 2: my guess. But it's turned into this heated political battle,
9:10
Speaker 2: as it always does. But in this case, you're looking
9:12
Speaker 2: at immigration and healthcare, two big things with Republicans obviously,
9:18
Speaker 2: including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD.
9:22
Speaker 1: Vance.
9:22
Speaker 2: So they're accusing of the Democrats. And really, if you're
9:25
Speaker 2: going to get technical, Democrats are the ones holding this up.
9:28
Speaker 2: But really, in a tug of war, they're both playing.
9:34
Speaker 2: They're trying to give free health care to people living
9:37
Speaker 2: in the US illegally. Democrats strongly deny this. They say
9:44
Speaker 2: their proposal only aims to restore Medicaid coverage to certain
9:48
Speaker 2: immigrants who are in the country legally or with government approval.
9:53
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the distance or difference between those
9:56
Speaker 2: things are. If you have approval that would be legally.
10:02
Speaker 1: Right.
10:03
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure how they discern against what those
10:06
Speaker 2: two things are. I'm sure there's some sort of detail
10:09
Speaker 2: there that somebody will leave a.
10:12
Speaker 1: Talkback.
10:14
Speaker 2: The disagreement is kind of the key reason Congress can't
10:19
Speaker 2: agree on how to reopen the government.
10:21
Speaker 1: This is going to be the thing.
10:22
Speaker 2: If you remember, the longest shut down I think in
10:25
Speaker 2: our history was last time Trump was in. One side
10:29
Speaker 2: may say because he's a pain in the ass. The
10:31
Speaker 2: other side may say, well, you know what, he knows
10:34
Speaker 2: what he wants, and he's not going to bow to garbage.
10:37
Speaker 2: He's going to push until he gets it. So earlier
10:39
Speaker 2: this year, a law called the One Big Beautiful Act
10:43
Speaker 2: a Bill Act if you remember, was passed under the
10:46
Speaker 2: Trump administration administration. So this had a bunch of rule
10:51
Speaker 2: tightening on who among non citizens can get Medicaid, cut
10:55
Speaker 2: out many groups who had previously been covered. Refugees, asylum seekers.
11:00
Speaker 2: These are the folks you got to think about, people
11:02
Speaker 2: granted special permission to enter the country. Democrats want to
11:07
Speaker 2: include a wider range of legally present immigrants, so not
11:12
Speaker 2: just those categories, but others. So about one point four
11:15
Speaker 2: million people could lose their health coverage under the new
11:19
Speaker 2: law if.
11:20
Speaker 1: No changes are made. Now.
11:22
Speaker 2: My understanding though, is anybody can walk into an er.
11:29
Speaker 2: It's one of the issues with a legal immigration. Anyone
11:31
Speaker 2: can walk into an ER and still get coverage. They
11:35
Speaker 2: can't turn you away. Now, there could be some point
11:38
Speaker 2: if they find something and you need other tests or
11:42
Speaker 2: what have you, but that is one way. That's one
11:45
Speaker 2: of the burdens on the system that some would complain saying, yes,
11:49
Speaker 2: but you know, illegal immigrants can go in there and
11:53
Speaker 2: tax our system just by using the er system.
11:57
Speaker 1: Republicans argue that some.
11:59
Speaker 2: Of the immigrants, immigrants that Democrats want to help, brought
12:04
Speaker 2: in under programs that they see as unlawful, especially ones
12:07
Speaker 2: given parole under President Biden. These become a sticking point.
12:13
Speaker 2: So these are folks from Venezuela. These could also be
12:18
Speaker 2: Ukrainians by the way, that were allowed to enter for
12:21
Speaker 2: humanitarian reasons. And I say that because on both sides,
12:27
Speaker 2: and it bugs me on both sides. Whether you're Latino
12:30
Speaker 2: Latino Latino and saying we got to protect immigrants, really
12:35
Speaker 2: you don't care. You care about Latinos, and I you know,
12:40
Speaker 2: if it was different immigrants coming, I think that it
12:43
Speaker 2: would be different. That's why all of the immigration offices
12:47
Speaker 2: and stuff in Los Angeles are all Latino focused. That's
12:52
Speaker 2: the reality. But it does affect others as well. So
12:56
Speaker 2: they were entering the US for humanitarians and could work
13:02
Speaker 2: and live in the US legally. So the Trump team says, no,
13:06
Speaker 2: those got to go those programs shouldn't get benefits. Legal
13:11
Speaker 2: experts are looking at pointing out the other groups like
13:14
Speaker 2: refugees asylum seekers clearly have recognized legal status so what
13:20
Speaker 2: are you doing separating them? Medicaid obviously a big deal.
13:24
Speaker 2: The only exception is for emergency hospital care like I
13:27
Speaker 2: talked about, makes up then what they say is less
13:30
Speaker 2: than one percent of Medicaid spending. Democrats insist they are
13:34
Speaker 2: not trying to change that. Their focus, they say, is
13:37
Speaker 2: on making sure millions of Americans keep getting help through
13:42
Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act. So some states already use their
13:45
Speaker 2: own money to provide healthcare to undocumented residents, so that's
13:49
Speaker 2: not something that would be messed with. But Republicans have
13:52
Speaker 2: tried but failed to stop that in past legislation. So
13:56
Speaker 2: this is at the core of the battle that's going on.
13:59
Speaker 2: How does it affect us? You know, it almost gives
14:05
Speaker 2: you an idea of how fat we are in the
14:07
Speaker 2: government when they shut down, because you start looking at
14:10
Speaker 2: your daily life.
14:11
Speaker 1: What does it, How does it pierce your life?
14:15
Speaker 2: What kind of services are not going on or if
14:20
Speaker 2: they are going on? Then you can't help but think
14:22
Speaker 2: about the people who are doing their jobs with their
14:26
Speaker 2: money furload. If they're going to have back pay, that's
14:32
Speaker 2: the way it seems that it goes. But can you
14:36
Speaker 2: deal with back pay? Do you want to deal with
14:37
Speaker 2: back pay. A lot of people are hand to mouth,
14:40
Speaker 2: they're living paycheck to paycheck, and that could be a
14:44
Speaker 2: scary proposition. So having said those things, yes, heart goes
14:49
Speaker 2: out to those that work in the government that are
14:52
Speaker 2: affected by what's going on in the federal government. But
14:58
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, it goes to show you
15:03
Speaker 2: how battles. I always say that with the right and
15:06
Speaker 2: the left, they're playing tug awar but we're the rope,
15:11
Speaker 2: and it goes to show you, in a small sense,
15:16
Speaker 2: how that affects us. Now, we're only seeing it from
15:19
Speaker 2: in this case, from the outside in. We're looking at
15:21
Speaker 2: people that are affected immediately, meaning they work for the
15:25
Speaker 2: government and they either have to do their job without
15:28
Speaker 2: pay for right now, or they're not working at all
15:31
Speaker 2: and therefore having to shut the doors of certain services.
15:38
Speaker 2: That's what we're dealing with on a bigger level in
15:41
Speaker 2: the United States as a whole. Whenever there's a battle
15:44
Speaker 2: between those two sides, we're going to be the ones losing.
15:48
Speaker 2: And to me, it's another reminder of that it's not
15:50
Speaker 2: about them who are serving us in these government positions.
15:54
Speaker 2: That's just a reminder of how we're all affected all
15:57
Speaker 2: the time by squabbles and battles that go on between
16:02
Speaker 2: the left and the right. So how is it going
16:04
Speaker 2: to affect it, Well, there's tons of things. If it
16:08
Speaker 2: continues to go on today being day number two, tomorrow,
16:13
Speaker 2: I really believe that we'll start seeing some layoffs or
16:16
Speaker 2: that card will be played more heavily tomorrow. I think
16:19
Speaker 2: it will. I think it will actualize. I think that
16:22
Speaker 2: kind of power. Trump doesn't seem like the type to
16:26
Speaker 2: waste power moves, and if he is in that power seat,
16:31
Speaker 2: I find it hard to believe that he won't utilize
16:33
Speaker 2: that to cut some areas, if for nothing else being vindictive,
16:41
Speaker 2: I don't put that past him. But on the flip side,
16:45
Speaker 2: it could be cutting fat fat that they see on
16:48
Speaker 2: the right.
16:49
Speaker 1: So what are some of those services?
16:51
Speaker 2: Public safety is going to be at the top of that,
16:54
Speaker 2: so our tax money funds police, fire departments, medical service,
17:00
Speaker 2: emergency medical services, military.
17:03
Speaker 1: So if that is happening, this is.
17:08
Speaker 2: Another point where they're going to be working either without money,
17:12
Speaker 2: without pay for this time, at least not immediate pay,
17:16
Speaker 2: or there will be some people furloughed or things like that.
17:21
Speaker 2: It's probably one of the last things they end up doing.
17:25
Speaker 2: But There's also a lot of infrastructure that goes kind
17:28
Speaker 2: of without saying we don't see it, we don't feel it.
17:31
Speaker 2: It just kind of does. It's like breathing. It just happens,
17:35
Speaker 2: so we take it for granted. But that could be
17:37
Speaker 2: any of the government agencies responsible for maintaining roads.
17:42
Speaker 1: Do we even have that service in la I don't
17:46
Speaker 1: think so.
17:47
Speaker 4: Not in my Neahoro.
17:48
Speaker 2: Roads potholes they should actually fill the potholes with homeless people.
17:53
Speaker 2: They make little homes in them, transitional homes, building maintainings,
18:02
Speaker 2: a bridge, public transportation, even airports, public parts. I mean,
18:07
Speaker 2: I think the TSA is affected as well, so they're
18:10
Speaker 2: not going to get paid right now while they're working. Infrastructure,
18:14
Speaker 2: of course is a big deal. Utilities, essential services like water, sewage,
18:22
Speaker 2: garbage collection. What does that mean that there won't be
18:25
Speaker 2: garbage collection on garbage day during this?
18:28
Speaker 4: Is garbage collection a federal government job?
18:31
Speaker 2: Well, that's what it's saying, But I don't know that
18:35
Speaker 2: it would be. Isn't that logo or maybe that is
18:39
Speaker 2: that is regulation of those things, because that's got to
18:42
Speaker 2: be local, right, I would think, so, I don't know
18:46
Speaker 2: how that would deal with us specifically, because I imagine
18:50
Speaker 2: garbage is going to be collected, but regulating, I don't
18:55
Speaker 2: know what that means. In that does that mean they're
18:57
Speaker 2: going to take toxic waste if you have them picking
19:00
Speaker 2: up today? The US Postal Service delivers mail packages obviously,
19:04
Speaker 2: while the Federal uh Communications Commission regulates telecommunications. I don't
19:10
Speaker 2: know that that's going to cause any major problems within the.
19:13
Speaker 1: Next few days.
19:15
Speaker 2: Education, you've got government funds of public schools setting educational standards.
19:22
Speaker 1: Is that gonna mess with us? Nah? I don't think so.
19:26
Speaker 2: For a handful of days that's long term stuch stuff, research,
19:31
Speaker 2: those types of things, any of that. If you take
19:35
Speaker 2: a weekend, three days, gosh, maybe even a week, you're
19:39
Speaker 2: not going to see heavy duty weight from those areas.
19:43
Speaker 2: Your consumer environmental protections. I know Handle was talking about
19:47
Speaker 2: food and product safety. We're not going to have that
19:52
Speaker 2: prevent you know, poisonings and things like that. I don't think,
19:56
Speaker 2: you know, with the way the food chain works, a
20:02
Speaker 2: couple handful of days, maybe even a week, that's not
20:04
Speaker 2: going to touch any that. They're ahead of those things
20:06
Speaker 2: already as it is now. Environmental quality, clean air, stuff
20:11
Speaker 2: like that, I don't think it's going to affect us
20:14
Speaker 2: right away. Rights and freedoms. You've got to love this.
20:16
Speaker 2: Civil rights, labor laws, intellectual property. The government protects all
20:21
Speaker 2: these things. Again, is it going to push off cases
20:26
Speaker 2: that are going on right now? Yes, those probably won't
20:29
Speaker 2: be prosecuted or dealt with in court.
20:32
Speaker 1: But is that going to affect us? No, but national
20:36
Speaker 1: parks might.
20:39
Speaker 2: You know, the national parks probably remain open, but with
20:42
Speaker 2: a very small amount of workers. There's tons of federal
20:46
Speaker 2: workers that aren't working today. I'm sure travel will probably
20:52
Speaker 2: it continues, but we'll probably have delays, longer lines, things
20:56
Speaker 2: like that. I don't think childcare stints for you know,
21:01
Speaker 2: federally funded programs head start. They may find funding depletion.
21:06
Speaker 2: But again, these are all longer term than the immediate
21:10
Speaker 2: focus that we have right now. We'll have to see
21:13
Speaker 2: what they end up being in the long term. But
21:16
Speaker 2: if we can get this done within the next couple
21:18
Speaker 2: of days, I know we're coming up against a weekend,
21:22
Speaker 2: then I think the vast majority of the stuff won't
21:24
Speaker 2: be sticky enough for us to feel all right and
21:28
Speaker 2: crew here, Bill Handle is out today for the Jewish
21:32
Speaker 2: holiday Joam Kippor Day of Atonement. And Ann is out
21:37
Speaker 2: as well. I think she works tonight, so she's out.
21:40
Speaker 2: And we've got Matthew here, happy to have him aboard.
21:43
Speaker 1: So, you know, with all the battling going on.
21:46
Speaker 2: Politically and late night television and everything else, in the
21:49
Speaker 2: battle for eyeballs and earballs and everything else, it's interesting
21:54
Speaker 2: that Fox News is pulling ahead in television. And I
22:00
Speaker 2: find this interesting because I'm not a huge fan of Listen,
22:04
Speaker 2: every news outlet has a bias, a bias, every single one.
22:11
Speaker 2: That's just human nature. You can't remove that. It's the
22:14
Speaker 2: heavy bias or the stuff that.
22:18
Speaker 1: You know.
22:18
Speaker 2: So oftentimes Fox News and MSNBC and stuff just it's
22:23
Speaker 2: a little too overboard for me to where I go.
22:26
Speaker 1: Come on.
22:28
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll balance them out with each other and see
22:31
Speaker 2: if there's something in between. But you got to really
22:35
Speaker 2: dig or remove the editorial language. However, when it comes
22:40
Speaker 2: to those shows, those programming where you've got people in
22:43
Speaker 2: the round talking to me, that's just like talk radio here,
22:47
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a bias. I have a bias. Everybody
22:49
Speaker 2: has a bias. Mine might be more nuanced than others
22:53
Speaker 2: because of the fact that I'm not king shakes or
22:57
Speaker 2: read no, because I am not. I do not partake
23:03
Speaker 2: in the partisanship. I look at case by case and
23:09
Speaker 2: that doesn't make me better than anybody else by any
23:12
Speaker 2: stretch of the imagination. Is just the way I do things.
23:14
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a rationalist. I want it to make sense
23:18
Speaker 2: to me, and but it is. I thought this was
23:22
Speaker 2: worth noting because of the times that we're in that
23:27
Speaker 2: there's so much fighting. Yet you have the third quarter
23:31
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five that we're living right this moment.
23:34
Speaker 2: You've got Fox News Channel pulling ahead of its TV competition.
23:38
Speaker 2: That means ABC, your traditional ones, CBS, NBC, even ESPN
23:45
Speaker 2: not a news station but sports news. And they have
23:48
Speaker 2: an average of three point three million weekday prime time viewers.
23:52
Speaker 2: That is more than the late night shows that get
23:56
Speaker 2: the vast majority of the airtime. On social media and
24:01
Speaker 2: all of those things. It also remains the top choice
24:05
Speaker 2: in cable news. It outperforms MSNBC CNN by a wide
24:10
Speaker 2: Morgin of margin rather in both daytime and primetime hours.
24:14
Speaker 2: While CNN NSMMMS, I can't even say it. MSNBC saw
24:21
Speaker 2: some of their lowest ratings in years. Fox News continued
24:28
Speaker 2: a ninety five quarter winning streak as the number one
24:33
Speaker 2: cable news network for primetime viewership. One of the standout
24:38
Speaker 2: shows is The Five. I will tell you.
24:40
Speaker 1: I've never seen the show.
24:43
Speaker 2: I'm told it has Dana Perino, Greg Guttfeld.
24:47
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
24:48
Speaker 2: I know he's a political guy and he's a pundit
24:51
Speaker 2: and that's what he does. But the guy delights me.
24:54
Speaker 2: I find him funny. Sometimes he's mean. I find him funny,
24:58
Speaker 2: and I find him smart. Jesse, Jessica Tarlov and Harold
25:05
Speaker 2: Ford Junior. So I've never watched the show, but like
25:09
Speaker 2: I said, Greg Guttfield does make me laugh at times.
25:13
Speaker 2: And you know, I think I've said this on the
25:15
Speaker 2: show before. I was at a party.
25:17
Speaker 1: It was a rather large one and.
25:21
Speaker 2: He was there, and I've had he and I would
25:23
Speaker 2: email back and forth many years ago. I was introduced
25:26
Speaker 2: to him through a buddy of mine and he was
25:30
Speaker 2: at this party and the guy who played who I
25:34
Speaker 2: forget his name all the time, who played Jesus in
25:38
Speaker 2: Passion of the Christ, Covill Cavil. He was there, very
25:44
Speaker 2: serious guy by the way, and Greg Guttfeld kept trying
25:49
Speaker 2: to get me to fight him. He says, I want
25:51
Speaker 2: to see the two Jesus guys fight and I think
25:54
Speaker 2: he had had a couple of pops and he's.
25:56
Speaker 1: Like, fight, go go up and push it. I'm not
25:59
Speaker 1: going to go up and bush them.
26:00
Speaker 2: But that that story to me always echoes in my head.
26:03
Speaker 2: What you know, trying to get me to fight James.
26:07
Speaker 1: Cavill or whatever. Whatever.
26:09
Speaker 2: Anyways, I thought this was interesting because in a time
26:13
Speaker 2: where everybody is so partisan on these things and everybody
26:21
Speaker 2: mocks Fox News that it it tends to be the
26:25
Speaker 2: leader right now. I don't know what that says about
26:28
Speaker 2: the state of our union, but it stood out.
26:34
Speaker 4: To me when I was looking at What's that I misspoke?
26:36
Speaker 4: It was Jim Cavezill, cavi Kevill, What Cavsill, Cavi CAVIASL, Caveasl,
26:44
Speaker 4: I haven't Yeah, CAVIASL and.
26:47
Speaker 2: Cavill I never remember his name. I think he's a
26:50
Speaker 2: terrific actor.
26:50
Speaker 1: I just never read any Yeah, and he's adorable.
26:53
Speaker 4: But Henry Cavell, that's Superman.
26:57
Speaker 2: Superman, Captain handsome. That guy is one of the few
27:01
Speaker 2: men that make my knees weak. Yeah, there's something about
27:06
Speaker 2: him that is so manly. It's like he's the exact
27:11
Speaker 2: opposite of Kno, he's like a real man, but he
27:15
Speaker 2: like he cooks. I don't know, he just uh, he
27:20
Speaker 2: makes me feel like a woman. Like it's just like
27:24
Speaker 2: the guy watching the room. Yeah, yeah, but Shania Twain
27:32
Speaker 2: doesn't like sex though you ever heard that about her?
27:35
Speaker 2: Wasn't there an article or something.
27:36
Speaker 1: That you've really gotten off track? Haven't we? Oh?
27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we have. It's kind of like the five.
27:42
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back with more of whatever this
27:45
Speaker 2: is when we return. We got Joel large guards. Is
27:47
Speaker 2: Joel coming up when we come back or later in
27:50
Speaker 2: the hour?
27:52
Speaker 1: Look at the rundown.
27:53
Speaker 2: The rundown says next, I'm trying to make you work, bro, Well,
27:57
Speaker 2: Matt did that for us. No, but I'm trying to
27:59
