  Speaker 2: the only reason that it's given its import as a

  Speaker 2: as we can not to do a Trump story. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think today there's only one. But I think we're going

• 3:48

• 3:52

  Speaker 2: absolutely delicious. Also this episode of Crazy, another one a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: medical episode of Crazy. We're going to do with doctor
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Jim Keeney today. All right, we've all said, hello, anything
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: new in the world, let me see, not really, not really.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I'm preparing for Chaunka and Christmas and have you got
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: ye christmakud? That's true, that's part of it too. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I've gotten my gifts if you were out of the way,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and I believe me it for me, it's real easy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I just what I give is a little bit of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: money to everybody. And here here's your five bucks. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: this year, because of Lin's there's actually a card with
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a nice state a nice card with some writing saying, yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I know I got disgusting.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: All right, so you called me fat mine? Uh she
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was very nice.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, Well okay, it's you're a big, big, big,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: big part of the show.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I did that I actually did to be honest with you,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and so it was it's really easy and then at
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the memo, i'd go happy holidays, I'm done. You know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Sometimes not even an envelope. Hey, I also for birthdays
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: or not that I do it very often, but it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you know, it's gift cards, but not gift cards to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a particular store or restaurant. It's just here, here's a
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: visa card, leave me alone. And I think those are
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: by far the best gifts. Wedding gifts. Yeah, you're better
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: off giving just uh, you know, cash. They do that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at at weddings, when you have ethnic weddings, that's what
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they tend to do is here's some here's some cash.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Enjoy yourself. All right, guys, are you ready to do it? Yes?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Or yes? On that? Thank you? Okay, easy, peasy, here
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we go. It's handle on the news with Amy Neil
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and Me lead story.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Everything is.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: All right, approaching crazy. The President is doing an interview
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and he is asked he's on Fox and Friends and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: he is asked, how is the economy. Give the economy
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a grade? And he said a plus plus plus plus
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: plus I think, followed with five pluses. A with five pluses.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Now this is and of course during the conversation, prices
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: are down and that gets kind of interesting when you
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: go to the grocery store. It takes a real Maga
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: supporter to walk in and pay three dollars more a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: pound for meat or a steak and say prices are down.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: When I paid three dollars down from today than it was,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: then I guess that's true. And so I'll tell you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: where we're going to go with this. Ok we've gone
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: from prices. We're going to be cutting half day one
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that no one believed. And that's puffery, by the way.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I mean I didn't take that seriously. That's just Donald Trump,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you know, Okay, and only the super Maga believers. Oh yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah. The price is going to be cut
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in half day one. Now more, I think logical is
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bring prices down, which never happened. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: since voters vote with their wallets, I mean that is
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: number one by a long shot. It's now getting to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's Joe Biden who's causing all of these problems, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that's that's going thin. That is that's getting a little
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: thin because we're a year in and the election is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: going to be two years in, and you can only
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: blame Biden so much for the problems are going on.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's not to say that Biden didn't.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he caused the the prices to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: go up. And I don't think the president is responsible
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: for prices going up. I think there's a lot more
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to that. It's much much more complicated than just the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: policy of any given president. But you're going to see
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Biden being blamed more and more, and you're going to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: see and the president is really it's a mixed message,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: which I really don't get. Prices are down yet Joe
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Biden was responsible for prices being up and prices are
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: down because I'm causing prices to go down and you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: look and you go, wait a minute, I'm paying more.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So it's I think it's going to hurt the Republican Party.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: This one is going to sting. I really believe that. Okay,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: moving on, Oh it's my.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Turn, I know, yeah, it is, I know, Okay, The
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: head of LOSSA says so long. The chief executive of
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency LASA as
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: A resigned from a government oversight board during a federal
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: investigation into some real estate dealings several weeks ago. The
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Wine Guard Center CEO Kevin Murray was placed on leave
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: and his director of real estate development, Ben Rosen, was
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: also put on leave while the nonprofit conducted an internal
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: review into its housing projects. Just the latest in a
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: string of problems with LUST.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Because it's horrible, Yeah, because it is horrible, because it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is corrupt as hell. And I think the analogy here
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: is when COVID hit and when remember the deep Water Horizon,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: when it blew up in the Gulf of Mexico. What
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: VP that owned it had to do was just start
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: writing checks like crazy and the fraud was unbelievable. Same
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: thing with a housing crisis. Karen Bass goes in sees
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a legitimate problem with a high housing crisis, and now
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the checks just start getting written, very little oversight, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: of course there is corruption up and down. This one
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: is a little bit tougher because the accusation is people
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: within the organization are making lots of money and they
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: are corrupt. So no surprise, by the way, no surprise.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And the other side of it, though, is do you
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you set up governmental authorities to oversee the money that's
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: being spent. Well, that takes time to do, that is
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: not easy. You have to establish bureaucracies, you have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: train people, you have to have accountants coming in, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: therefore money is not being spent while you're setting up
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the oversight. And again COVID, how you don't have time
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to set up oversight useless.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Sorry, then the money's useless because in the pockets of
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: people that don't deserve it, not.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: All of it, not all of it, but the amount
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: of fraud, I mean during a COVID it was just
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: astronomical the amount of fraud thating on. And so there's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you know, which way do you go on that. Do
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you accept corruption or do you accept people not getting
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the benefits.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: They're not getting the benefits.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Either way they are getting the benefits, they are not
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: getting the benefits.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So every dime, neil, every dime that's in this program
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't go to the homeless.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Monica Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez sounded this alarm over a year ago,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: not arguing that there it is not going to where
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: it needs to go, okay at all?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: All Right, so the story that these thousands of homeless
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: shelters and beds have been built is false because every
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: dime has gone to corruption.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: How come the actual number of people that they keep
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: saying in City Hall are off the streets is almost
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to the number of the amount of people that die each.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Day on the streets. Okay, so you know where are
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they going?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I understand. So your point is not a dime goes
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to housing. It is all stolen people in them. It's
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: they're not in there. Okay, how many people? Okay, how
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: many people? So it is I'm not arguing that, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you have taken it to an extreme. You are taking
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: it to an neil. You're taking it to an extreme.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: It's corruption. Yes, their beds empty, but there is money
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: that's actually being spent appropriately. There is now is the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: corruption too much? Oh? You bet? You bet. You and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree on that one, but I don't think
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: it's it's as bad as you portrayed it. That there
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: nobody's moving in. There is no housing. It's all a myth.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So anyway, let's move on. You and I can disagree,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and just because you're wrong, you know, I understand you're
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: part of the show.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: All right, jubulant skies. I believe that's what we were
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: just listening to. Famous opera singer was found with critical
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: injuries consistent with a stabbing and then pronounced dead at
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the scene. Mica Sky's the victim's son, was found inside
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the home was later taken into custody. So the suspect
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: there the sun will be booked for homicide and the
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: case will be presented to a Los Angeles county.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And he has a mental illness. We're hearing that that
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the son has all kinds of mental problems and they
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: knew there was a big problem when the police recalled
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: because he was singing for help in a bass voice.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: That is too soon for that, isn't no, of course not,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: that's a little bit too soon, Okay, moving on?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Could this be a harbinger of things to come? Eileen
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Higgins has won an election and become Miami's first Democratic
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: mayor in thirty years. She's also the first woman to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: be mayor and first non Hispanic candidate since the nineties.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: She was elected. She's a former county commissioner. This adds
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: to a string of Democratic wins across the US that
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: have served to highlight the growing level of resistance to
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: President Trump in his second term. Significant to note that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Miami Dade has a big immigrant population and it voted
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: for Trump in historic numbers in twenty twenty four.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bigarearely not anymore a big Hispanic population huge. As
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, the entire population of Miami Dade
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: consists of two groups. That's it, one Cuban Hispanics and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the other one full of my mother old Jewish yentas
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: that won't shut up.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Men in black sox sandals and Bermuda shortz.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much screaming Mimi. Ver's the pool, Veter's the pool. Okay,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: just a quick word about this. This is not voting
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: well for Republicans because if you look at what's going
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: on in local elections, governor's elections that just happened. The
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Democrats are sweeping so far. So we'll see what the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: midterms are like. That's going to be the litmus test.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: The midterms not the midterms usually go it gives to
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: the party.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, generally they do. Yeah, generally they do. And it's
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: just a question of numbers. Obama got killed in the
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: midterms in his first midterms, so he did all of
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: his work during the first two years. Actually, that's when
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a president has powers. The first two years. After that,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: he's actually considered a lame duck. And so we'll see
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: what happens in these midterms. Trump has just changed the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: formula completely, so we'll see. I think he's going to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have As long as he has Congress behind him right
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: to the very last day of his presidency, he will
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: have enormous power, unlike other presidents.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Anna Heiser Bush, you know, you're driving off the four
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: or five there and you see it. It's actually pretty
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: lit up at night, investing millions of bucks in its
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: brewery there in Van Eys, and that is good. That
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: means job security, high quality products coming out of southern California,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: which is great money back into the local economy. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: this is all preparing to host the twenty twenty six
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: World Cup at twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics. You got
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: to love when when local government and companies start spit
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: shining things not for us.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it used to be Bush Bush Gardens before
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: they right off, remember that, Yeah, years and years ago,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and then they converted it to manufacturing the brewery, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: now they're expanding the brewery.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: So you ever looked at some of the rides that
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: they had there that would no longer be legal. It's
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: like a broken glass pit for the kids.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It was. Don't forget the parrots flying around attacking people's heads.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Its yeah, people's eyeballs. I think, okay, a story that
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Neil Wood is loving Amy, but you're taking it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Affordability is all the buzz for the La City Council.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: The council has voted unanimously to adopt the Affordable Housing
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Streamlining Ordinance. Under the ordinance, developers will get fast tracked
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: city approval for projects that include affordable housing. Reviews for
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: these products projects rather typically take six to nine months,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: but under this new directive, they will be required to
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: be approved within sixty days.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Keep you seeing, oversight will either disappear or be seriously limited.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: So we'll see, they just won't have the time.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: And I think I just saw a bunch of people
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: on Sunset Boulevard living in these ordinances, beautiful these ordinances
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: or lavish and really.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Helping them all, right, Pope Leo news and then we'll
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: take a break. The Pope.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Pope Leo, he insisted Tuesday, talking about everything going on
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: with Ukraine and Russia. He says that Europe must have
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: a role in any Ukraine peace deal. Of course, this
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: comes at the criticism of Trump and his administration for
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: what he says is efforts to break apart the longstanding
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: US European alliance.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as he is American. His favorite drink Pepsi because
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: he is known as Pope Sicola. Okay, I've used that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: one before, by the way, and I didn't think it
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: was funny the first six times, and so Amasa.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Was the first two times.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. You know, sometimes I actually say something original,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: you know that, not kono shaking his head. Not very often,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: but occasionally I do.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: No foul play. The death of former Senator Mitt Romney's
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: sister in law has been ruled a suicide. You may
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: remember that Carrie Romney from Valencia died from blunt traumatic
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: injuries after falling from the rooftop of a parking structure
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: in Valencia. That happened last fall. In October, the medical
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: examiner ruled that it was a suicide.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Originally a story came out that she jumped took
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: a swan dive off the parking structure at Disneyland, singing
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: It's a small world all the way down.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Then this did not happen at Disneyland too soon?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: All right, more news you're in a grizzly mood today
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and smiling.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I'm actually in a great move today. That Voulder.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: The more death stories, the happier he gets. Well, if
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: you're a richie rich in Russia with a Porsche, that
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Porsche is not working, could you imagine having a portion
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: It just gets bricked. So apparently they have this system
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: it's satellite based that's supposed to protect cars against theft.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, all the Porsches in Russia
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: stopped working. So it's under investigation. But it doesn't matter
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: what the cause is. It's compounded by the invasion of
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Ukraine because Porsche stopped supporting its vehicles in Russian twenty
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: twenty two. No statements whether it's ties into that or not,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: but ultimately they have been cut off from the satellite connection.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Does this sound like a hack?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be sure.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, coming out in Crane, some of the greatest
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: hackers are out of Ukraine.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: It's not a bad skill to have on your side.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I mean it used to be that. Oh yeah. As
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, before hacking became the big thing,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: The beginning of hack came out of Ukraine. Still you
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: can hire hackers like crazy and they're cheap relative to hackers.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Here, college students are going to have to pay back
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: their student loans. Former President Biden's signature student loan repayment
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: program is known as Saving on a Valuable Education or
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Save is Dead. If approved by the courts, the settlement
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: will require no new borrowers are enrolled in the program,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: which based monthly bills on borrowers' incomes and was hailed
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: by the Biden administration as the most affordable student loan
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: repayment option in history.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A couple of things about that one. One, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: think it was a directive that Biden did this. So
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the argument is that the Congress had to approve it,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and so we don't know that. And I think if
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: this one goes to court, the courts will say that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it is the president has the right to do this.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: The other side of this is those of us who
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: paid back our student loans. I borrow it and I
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: paid back every penny with interest. Huh, How these people
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: get away with it. The other side of that one,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: this is four sides, is when I went to school,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: it wasn't two hundred thousand dollars in debt. It was
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: actually affordable. So put all that together, and you've got
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: a clustered truck on your hands.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: This just in when people cause debt in their lives,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: they all have to pay it back. I have to
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: pay for my house, all right. So the Pope's favorite drink,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Pepsi Co. They planned to cut prices. They're also going
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: to be eliminating some of their products. This has to
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: do that with an investor that they have that they
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: refer to as an activist investor. They're making changes after
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: prodding from Elliott Investment Management, which took a four billion
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: dollars stake in the company back in September. So now
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: being on the board pushing back, they're going to get
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: rid of some things. They expect their organic revenue to
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: grow between two and four percent and six We'll see
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: how that goes. Because when I think fresh snacks, I
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: think Pepsi.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, And you're going to see no cheese Cheetos coming
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: out the Cheeto food product that's artificially tastes like cheese.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: It's going to be good. Doritos. Don't they also make oreos?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I think they do? Don't they? No, that's that's Mendads
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: or whatever the hell that company is.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: A whole lot of dust in the wind. More than
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: one hundred piles of cremated remains were discovered in search
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: like Nevada back in August. The person who found the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: ashes stumbled on the piles back on July twenty eighth
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: in a desert area. Search site is about an hour
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: south of the Las Vegas Valley, and then in late October,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: representatives from palm mortuaries and cemeteries removed approximately three hundred
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: and fifteen piles from the desert. A second area containing
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: more piles was found near the original dump site. There's
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: no law in Nevada saying that you can't scatter ashes
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: in public land, but you're not supposed to commercially distribute
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: cremated remains, so a mass dumping site like this would
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: be illegal.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where do they go? You have these mortuaries that
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: have a contract with the for example, the coroner's office,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: where you have unidentified people sitting there and you know
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: they've got to go someplace. They cremate those people, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: then you have these ashes. By the way, cremains. I
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: love this. This is remains that have been a burnt up.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It's like crazins, which are actually cranberries that are dried
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: out and those are yeah, Neil, tell me that's not true.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: No food.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: You know what's funny is you drive around LA and
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: you can always see the the immigrant owned businesses because
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: they're always like a combination of the two streets they're on.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: It's like up the front in the back. It's always
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: some combination of the of the two streets or something.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: All right, thirty five year old geez, this is a
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: lot of alcohol on a Royal Caribbean cruise last year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Was served at least thirty three alcoholic drinks at the
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: ship's bar, you know, a couple hours during a couple
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: of hours.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Time or something like that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: And he he died.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: It seems that there was some.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Situation though with the team there on the ship as well,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: so he was intoxicated, He attempted to find his cabin room,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: got lost, became agitated, apparently was confronted by some Royal
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Caribbean security members who allegedly tackle them into the ground,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: subdued him with their full body weight, so says the plaintiff,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: And he apparently died. And now they're suing thirty three
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: alcoholic drinks.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That's a lot and security getting involved. They're looking at
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a big law lawsuit and probably a settlement and then
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: in the normal corporate reply or hacks because some pr
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: person wrote this on behalf of Royal Caribbean, this is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: what a spokesperson said. We were saddened by the passing
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: of one of our guests, worked with authorities on their
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: investigation and will refrain from commenting any further unpending litigation. However, well,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: we will be offering a twenty percent discount to the
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: family on the next Royal Caribbean cruise. They actually they
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: didn't say the last part too soon.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I know they didn't use at least the line about
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: their safety is the most is true.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: That's true. Yeap.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Doesn't this guy bear some responsibility for downing thirty three?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Of course he does, sure, but that's not what do
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you think he's suing? What do you think he's going
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to admit that he's dead. Yeah, I understand family is suing,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: sorry about that for wrongful death. That is a defense
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: that Royal Caribbean is going to bring to the table,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: is that he is Well. Here's what happens in California
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is what we have is comparative negligence. We don't have
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: absolute negligence certain states, if you are fifty one percent negligent,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: then you are completely negligent. In California, it's comparative negligent.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: If you are fifty one percent negligent, then let's say
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: there's an award of one hundred thousand dollars. Caribbean only
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: has to pay fifty one percent of that. So that's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: going to be a defense saying twenty percent of it
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: is his fault, thirty percent of it is his fault
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: if it goes to trial. Let's go ahead and finish
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: up with Amy.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: The cost to see the doc probably going up. Americans
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: say they expect medical cost to skyrocket. Consumers' median expectations
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: for the annual growth in medical costs hit more than
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: ten percent in November. Those fears of bigger medical bills
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: come as the Enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies they're set
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: to expire at the end of the year.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if the Republicans don't come to the table on
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: this one and at least negotiate most of the Enhanced
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies, you're going to see this thing blow up
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: like crazy. It's going to kill the Republicans especially since
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the Congress voted and the Senate voted to keep or
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to reopen the government with the promise that we'll negotiate
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: before the end of January. We'll will negotiate a deal.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Problem is they end all those subsidies end at the
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: end of this month. So there's it's going to be
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: a tough one. It really is politically, and you know
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: you're going to see what's happening more and more. The
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Democrats are getting more and more ammunition on their side
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to deal with what's going on politically. Okay, well we're done, guys.
