• 2:14
  Speaker 2: in pretty good shape. He's eighty years old. We're almost eighty,

  Speaker 2: flipped this FM signal to sports talk. I don't know

  Speaker 2: if you knew that, because they had. They had gone
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and taken their FM signal, moved their news station to

• 5:07
  Speaker 7: because there may be some people interested, Unlike you, Neil,
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: there may be some people.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Sure Oh my gosh. The Woody Show has been on
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: fire lately. And when I get a chance to listen
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to Ellen k Boom, it just brightens up my day.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And sometimes as you talk on this broadcast, I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you are listening to Ellen kay.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: During this show.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: See you're making me fearful again. Okay, there, am I secure?
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Fair enough?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I got this is going to mean I got that topic.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: We're moving topics around this morning because I wanted to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: talk about what was happening last night in various spins.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But let's go in. We're we'll cover the first.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: One that I'm talking about at seven o'clock. In a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: few moments, it's time for Handle on the News with
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Amy Neil and me leads to our attack. Yeah, another fun,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: fun chapter in the world of our president. Acting Attorney
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: General Todd Blanche signed an order that the IRS is
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: forever barred from examining examining President Trump's prior tax returns.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: The President, his family members, any business attached to the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Trump organization can never be audited at all. So therefore,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: effectively Trump can say this is what I think is
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: fair in taxes, this is let I'm going to pay
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and there's nobody who can say, wait a minute, that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: not true. And the concept of no one is above
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the law. Oh, yes there is, and this has to do.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I'll explain it a little bit later. A ten billion
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: dollar lawsuit that he filed the yet that he as
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: president filed against the IRS for releasing or someone that
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: was a contractor releasing his IRS files. He was damaged
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: by ten billion dollars and he filed against the IRS.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: By the way, he'd be negotiating with himself, because would
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: be the DOJ negotiating with him as to the ten
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: billion dollars he makes a claim, and maybe the DOJ
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: would have settled with him, as in he settles with himself.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And overturned it all Billy with another president.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And on top of that, part of the settlement is
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: not only the dropping of any examination of taxes and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: precluding any further going on in terms of examining or
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: taking any of the Trump people to task. Is the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: one point eight billion dollars fund that he set up
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to pay for anybody who was a victim of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: weaponization of the Biden administration, including the UH. January January sixth,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to put into quotes that January sixth
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: patriots who had the peaceful demonstration in the capital. All
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: we want to do is undo an illegal election. And therefore,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of course you know that was pardon day one and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: now and and I don't know how people are going
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to take this one.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: They can apply for money from the government US taxpayers
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to pay them because they were treated so horribly by
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: They that to be hanged, not to get money. My
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: own personal opinion.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It's it's just now he said, who was it was
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the p t hexset or was it Todd Blanche? Asked
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: by Congress I think it was Todd Blanche and asked,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: how is this possible? Well, anybody can make the claim,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: any American can make that claim.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Like democrats.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You think there's going to be one Democrat that's going
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to make the claim, any Democrat that was put in jail,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: anybody by the Biden administration. Can you imagine. That's the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: part that's so scary. I have to tell you, I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: was stunned last night. I really was.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I was stunned with this.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I was stunned with the caving of the US goverment
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: is not a caving of the US government. It's the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: US government under the thumb of the president, which clearly
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: proves to me and improves to many of us that
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: this is a man who is going to run the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: country exactly as he wants to run the country. There
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: will be almost no opposition, or there'll be democratic opposition.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But as long as he has the Republicans on his side,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: and he has the Republicans on his side or percent,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: there is no Republican that's going to vote against anything
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: that he does.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: They'll be primaried out.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Look what happened to Cassidy, Look what happened to Massey
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: last night. There are no Liz Cheneys in Congress or
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in the Senate.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: They don't exist.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what else is gonna happen, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'll talk more about this. There will be a concerted
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: effort to overturn the twenty six twenty second Amendment to
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: give any person running for office the ability to become
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: president for life. Now do I think it's going to happen?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: You know what I would have said, there's no chance.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, when Trump says you will vote for
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the overturning of the twenty second Amendment, or you will
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: not be elected. I will primary you out. And the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: threat is real. The threat is absolutely real. That's what
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I think is going to happen. Now, Again, are the
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: numbers or such that? I don't think the numbers make
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it possible, But I think I think it has gone.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That argument has gone from utterly ridiculous to you're going
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to see a large number of Democrats of Republicans making
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: that argument. You'll see that's I was stunned last night,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just donned.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Delaying the raises a thirty dollars minimum wage for hotel
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: and airport workers is being delayed la elected officials. City
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Council persuaded a group of business leaders to drop a
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: ballot measure that would have eliminated the city's business tax,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: which could have cost a city like eight hundred million dollars,
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: because they were saying, if you're going to raise these
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: minimum wages, we're going to put this on the ballot.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: And so city council approved an eighteen month delay which
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: will postpone the wage increase for the hotel and airport
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: workers until after the Olympics.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, do I have mixed feelings about this one,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: because do they deserve a living Wageah, I don't even
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: know if thirty dollars an hour covers your basic needs
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in southern California because it's so expensive to live. So
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of making enough money that you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: can keep yourself okay, all right, So with that, of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: course you would. So with that in mind, the other
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: side of it, thirty dollars an hour is killing a
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: lot of businesses. Restaurants are going under. It's our the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: way it works. Our economic model is flawed. In Europe,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: people who are servers make enough money to where they
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: could live. It's a real job, and here it doesn't happen.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And just the whole economic model has reached the point
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: where when you have this kind of cost of living,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't work.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It's very, very tough, and I don't know if there's
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: an easy answer to this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Now, how do you fix that?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's so fundamental, all right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Wow, what a slap in the face. You've got three
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: members of the LA City Council and this is the progressive,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: progressive side. Even more progressive than that, these are your
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Democratic Socialists of America. So you've got Unicis Hernandez, you
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: got Isabelle Herrado, You've got Hugo Soto Martinez, all members
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: of the DSA, and they are putting their support behind
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Mayor Karen Bass, not Nitthi Eramen.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who was an ally of theirs. Oh yeah, well
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: she's all. But I think what happened is I think
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: she crossed the line when they walk into her office
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and there is a signed photo of Karl Marx on
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the wall.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I think trying to ban grilling on red flag days.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: That did a lot of people out. Yeah, they'll mess
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: with my grilling lady. In southern California, dummy.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: The power of Trump on full display. Republicans backed the
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: president or backed by the president rather one or finished
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: in first place in primaries in Georgia, Alabama, and Kentucky.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: And Kentucky was the big one because that's where Representative
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Thomas Massey is losing his seat, ousted by a Trump
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: backed candidate.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk a lot more about this coming
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: up in the seven o'clock hour, because there are level
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: upon level on this one.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: All right. Report finds I don't know how, but more
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: than a year after the deadly eaten fire causing nineteen
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: deaths in Alta, Dina. This new outside review of firefighters
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: decision making has been concluded, and the conclusion is there
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: was no failure by La County fire officials in ordering evacuations,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: even though you had the La Times over the last
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: sixteen months reporting on mounting evidence that fire was threatening
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: West Altadena well before evacuation alerts were issued. There were
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: nine to one one calls, all kinds of things. But
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: this new fifty one page report doesn't acknowledge any shortcomings
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: related to the evacuation alerts got not.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Only the evactuation alerts.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: It didn't talk about how many firefighters were there, or
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: water supply, or decisions that the fire chief made or
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: didn't make, or money that didn't go to the fire
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: department as was requested by the fire chief.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Didn't talk about any of that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It's just the evacuation orders and where they poorly designed
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: or they just weren't implemented the way they should have been.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: That's what the report talks about, and they're saying, yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: it was they were.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: There's no fault there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Billy Jean's number one again forty years later, Michael Jackson's
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Billy Jean was released in nineteen eighty three, and now
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: it's back at number one on the Billboard Global two
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: hundred chart. It's the biggest song in the world. From
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: May eighth to the fourteenth, the song was streamed over
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: forty fifty one million times.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is interesting because obviously the Michael Jackson estate
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: makes millions upon millions of dollars every year because of
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: the publishing rights and because of just the sale of
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: records and used in commercials, and then you have this
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: re release and the money all comes in and there's
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: no one there to spend it. He's got kids, yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: well yeah, but we don't hear about them.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: He's got what Paris I think he one of them
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is Paris the blanket blanket, and then Peoria I think
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: he has, and Pacoima I think is one of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: low case.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, and there were kids born of a surrogate
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: by the way, I don't know if you're aware of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that they were surrogate kids.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Was his? Were his Billy Jeans involved in any of that?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: That's very strong.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I assume Billy Jean have to be taken off
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: when he produced.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: No I'm just saying, like, are they really blood crows? Crows?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: All right, that's enough, you know what you're you're not
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: allowed to do stuff like that because you up, Yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: because we're it's over the top.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: So lawsuit was filed in federal court. It accusing Disneyland,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: the happiest place on Earth, a violating privacy. And this
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: has to do with their facial recognition. Of course they
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: say it. Disneyland says that it helps, you know, move
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: people through faster. I think it's obviously you know, so
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that people can't use other people's tickets or.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that too. I mean, all of it that
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Disney says is true. The problem is the invasion of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: privacy argument is also true.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: How is it an invasion of privacy because.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: They keep because they keep the facial they keep the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: facial recognition, and it can be compared to other facial
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: recognition programs, and it's again your privacy that is quote
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: being invaded. Now, Disney says it only hangs onto those
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that facial recognition your face and your biometrics for thirty
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: days and a dumpson unless there's a legal issue.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it becomes numbers. It's not just yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: But again, but if it's facial recognition, is there a
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: way to track it down? And that's what this lawsuit
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: is about.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: There's a way to get in without it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that's the other thing, without it, right, And
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you have to go through, but you have to opt
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: out of the facial recognition. The default is you go
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: through the line and get recognition probably tell people better
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: they could. And that's it, And that's the argument. They're
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: not saying it shouldn't be used. They're just saying that
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the way it is being applied. Also, remember the well,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: of course you have those programs that take your face
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and can morphew uh into another face. If you actually
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: look at what Disney is doing, everybody's face becomes mickey.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't not Yeah, that would be that would actually
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: be great.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, Universal takes your fingerprint? I don't
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: know if they keep it. It's got to be stored
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: somewhere for it to register.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Can they do it?
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Though it's on private property. They can do whatever they want,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: can't they.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they can argue that. They say, if you
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: don't want to, don't come in. But again, you're talking
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: about a major public recreational platform or recreational facility. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: that's you know, it would be tough, I think politically.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Aren't they using this everywhere?
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Pretty much. It's that's gonna By the way, this argument
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is going to die. Gee, personal privacy, where's that?
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Where does that exist anymore?
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: So it's Disney going to settle it or are they
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: going to fight it? That's the big question.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. Oh, here's a
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: fun story out of New York.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, mind your surroundings, guys.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: A woman plunged to her death after stepping out of
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: her car into an open manhole in midtown Manhattan too.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: She stepped out of her Mercedes Ben's suv at West
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: fifty second and Fifth Avenue just before eleven twenty pm,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: stepped out directly into that uncovered manhole, fell about ten
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: feet down. And then this is the really nasty part.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: The steam caused her to go into cardiac arrest and
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: she died.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: And she was screaming, I'm going to die, I'm going
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to die.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I mean this is so Imagine that she steps out
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of her car, you know how you step out and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you hit the pavement. She went right into a manhole,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: an open manhole that New York is saying that a
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: truck had just run over and dislodged it and flipped
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it over. And the defense is going to be I'll
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: tell you what the defense is going to be is
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: that from the time the truck dislodged the manhole cover
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and she stepped into the manhole, was such a short
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: period of time that they weren't informed, didn't know, didn't
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: have the ability to deal with it in terms of time.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And when they were they were notified, they came over
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: as quickly as you humanly can do. But it's it's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: going to be interesting with the design issue. It's going
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: to be a design flaw. It's going to be the argument.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Talk about there must have been some cameras for them
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: to be able.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: To well, we don't know in real time every manhole
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: in the in the city.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Well, but there must have been one nearby for security
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: ad one of the buildings or subject.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not hearing, but there no, there's no doubt
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: that she stepped into an open manhole. There's not gonna
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: they're not going to refuse that. No, the truck part, Yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the truck part.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: And we don't know. It's a time, right, and it's now.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Does that mean that you have to have sensors and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: or cameras at every point and enough monitors to.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Work at what's happening?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of it. Yeah, what the authorities are saying,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: this is very, very tragic. But it looks like just
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: an accident. And then you hear her as you know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: she goes down saying whoops, no that's not true.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on now.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: The silence was like one of those little rubber things
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: you put between groceries. Yeah, pretty much oating ourselves.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: All right, Senate, you want one more?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: The Senate yesterday agreed to take up a measure that
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: would force President Trump to end the warning around without
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: or win authorization from Congress, which is, you know, the
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: sixty four thousand dollars question there is how he's moving forward.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: So this is a handful of Republicans that joined the
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Democrats and pushing this forward. So it was a vote
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: of fifty to forty seven to advance this resolution, allowing
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: it to be debated and receive a vote.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just to go on the floor and debate
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it because up to this point they couldn't even do
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: that because it effectively tells Trump, we have a War
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Powers Act and we're not going to violate it, which
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: sixty days within the start of a conflict or confrontation,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: you have to go to Congress for permission. And he said, no,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I don't. I have unlimited power. I can go to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: war whenever I want, to clear war whenever I want.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: And of course the Republicans backed them up naturally except
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: for a handful. So now there's enough. Yeah, well it
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: was fifty. They find they got it with fifty votes
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to advance the resolution in order to be debated. It's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: still going to lose. It's going to lose as long
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: as they have Republicans are in power. There's no chance that,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: in fact, it is going to win. I don't think so.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Even though there are some Republicans that have voted to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: advance it. The phone call is going to come. You
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: either yank your vote back or you're going to You're
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to lose your next election. You'll be wow.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: And you imagine setting in a place that is a
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: single party.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Rule, single man rule, not single party. I was a
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: single individual just thinking about California sixteen years. Yeah, but
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that's a single party party rule. That's single party that's correct,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and it's horrible, and which is why we're the most
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: liberal state, which is why people look at us askance,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: which is why more Yeah, which is by law, by law,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: we have to eat tofu turkeys on Thanksgiving.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Schlitz is calling it quits. The beer that made Milwaukee
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: famous is tapping out after one hundred and seventy seven years.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Was once the.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Best selling beer in the world, but perhaps says the
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: decision to put Schlitz on hiatus came due to increases
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: in our costs to store and ship certain products. Also
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: competition from micro brews and non alcoholic beers, all that stuff.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me get this right.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It's the decision is because increases in ore cost to
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: store and ship certain products like beer. It is a
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: brewery that owns Schlitz. Thus for starters. Also, I love
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the spokesperson and the statement they made. Any brand or
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: packaging configuration that is put on hiatus is still a
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: cherished part of our history and hopefully our future. We
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: continually look for opportunities to bring back beloved brands and
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: customer feedback is important. Does that mean you're going to
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: bring back Schlitz. Well, no, not really, but just wanted
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to get your hopes up.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I want to hold onto this story because it's going
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: to be a great obituary for you.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Oh thanks.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: After one hundred and seventy seven years, the host that
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: was once the best in the world has been discontinued.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. It wouldn't be me, but still all right.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: A US indictment of former Cuban president Raul Castro is
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: expected to be announced today in Miami, so Cours. This
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: is the brother of Fidel They were accused of ordering
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: the Cuban Air Force to shoot down two civilian planes
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: belonging to the Brothers to the Rescue nonprofit group which
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: carried out rescue missions to save Cubans fleeing their homeland.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: So that was back in nineteen ninety six.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason, the president has a bird about Cuba.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Man just wants to shut down Cuba. And this goes
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: back to what nineteen ninety six when two of these
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: planes were shot down, four Cuban Americans were born.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And that's horrible.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: It makes me think of the killing of Adnan Kashogi,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the I think Arab American if I'm not mistaken, journalist
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: who was killed the Turkish embassy under the orders of
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the Saudis. That was the given reason. There was no
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: other and it was an uproar. And you remember when
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Mohammed ben Salomon visited the White House and he was
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: asked specifically the president was there in the Oval office
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and was asked, how about Koshogi and the president and
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I quote, things happen close.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Quote they do happen, even if they are horrific.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, and an American was, So it's really very selective.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: They just doesn't like the communist regime once out for that. Yeah,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I don't understand where Cuba is that much of an enemy.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Cuba wants to have a good relationship with the United States,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: but it isn't. It just isn't happening and won't as
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: long as the Cuban regime is there. And it is
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a regime. I mean, there's no question is it common Well,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: they say it's communists, but it's you know, you got
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Cawstro and then his brother and then the hand selected
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: president now and so we'll see what happens.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I think we have one.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: More umbrellas only if you want to bring a canopy
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: or a tent or anything like that to Laguna Beach,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: don't even think about it because you can't bring it
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: to the beach with you. The City of Laguna Beach
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: has updated their municipal code with a new ordinance that
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: only permits umbrella style shade coverings on most beaches in
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: the city.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Are you a beachgoer?
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think I've been to the beach in
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: about three years, which is it's ridiculous because it's ten
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: miles from my house.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't been in forty years, thirty five years.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I just don't like that. I don't like the beach
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: never have.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You know, if you want, if you want to feel
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: that way, you know, just you know, get some sandpaper and.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Rub it up and down your ass.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Crack.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Now, why do you need sand?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's all you get from being by the end?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much? Yeah, Okay, I think we're done. Okay,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: coming up, what happened yesterday? Donald Trump with the IRS
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: has done the Department of Justice, the politics. I just
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: yesterday was quite the day, to say the least. We'll
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: be back with that. KFI Am sixty. You've been listening
