• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning to you, Neil Saavedra and the morning
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: crew with you. We've got new clay at the board
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and helping with producing today. How are you, sir? I'm
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: doing well. I'm wearing new pants today and nobody has
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: said that they like them.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: You know what? I was behind you in the hallway
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: when we were walking down the hall, and I was thinking,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I like those pants. Those are nice.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you. They're bright red, and I'm taking a risk today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: You know what? At least we don't smell them. Thank you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Will. Will you do me a favor, buddy?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Take off your headphones and walk over here. Give me
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a little spin, will you? New clay has got new pants.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I did not see them, but I'll be honest with you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I think I know the problem. Wow, you are taking
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a risk. They're loose, too. Yeah, baggy. Yeah, baggy. You
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: could bring a couple friends with you. Okay. No, that's nice,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to tell you why people don't say anything.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: All right, hold on. Because, you know, you're sitting down.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: No one sees your pants, buddy. Ah, yes, that's true.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But Anne's not here today. I've had to print several things. Uh-oh,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: who's a big boy? Look at you. I'll get over it. Yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Anne could not be here today, so she pretty much
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: just produces the show wherever she is. I mean, she
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: could be, I don't know, up in a spaceship being
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: spirited away from this planet, and she would still be
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: producing the show.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: This morning, she is in mourning. Oh, why?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Because?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Padres lost last night. They're out.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she was planned to be out.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: No, she's the huge Padres fan.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but didn't she plan to be out today?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe she had a premonition.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. Wow, says the Dodgers girl poking at her.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Amy King.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Well, good and bad news for you then, right? Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So the Dodgers move forward. However, that means game five
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of that series is not going to happen.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And I had tickets to game five.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But I say, you know, put them in loose side
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: or something. I mean. I don't know. Put them on
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a wall.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The game that never was.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I almost was there. I almost went. It is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: good enough, right?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Will, how are you, sir? Good morning. I'm doing well.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm wearing the same pants I always do. Oh, good.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've cleaned them, of course. I won't ask
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you to come do a spin. You'd be bored. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I will tell you. KFI Fashion Show. The what? KFI
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Fashion Show. Oh, yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Pout.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Pat work it work it duck lips and the uh
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: mom of kfi uh executive producer michelle q brought in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: what can only be described as a um as a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: bounty this morning of mcdonald's sandwiches so they are in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: uh air mix if anybody's hungry get them while they're
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: warm and um At any time, that is a really
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: nice thing to do, right? That's a very kind thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to do. But it's even more kind when you think
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the cost of McDonald's right now, $ 475 for six sandwiches.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So please make sure you give her your love. Very
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: generous and kind of her. And it just hit the spot,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know? Something about those Egg McMuffins.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You know, there's something addictive about them. Like you take
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a bite and you're like, oh my God, it's so good.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I have to have another bite now. Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, because they're warm and they're, you know. And then
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you have to do like a two to one ratio.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Two bites of the sandwich, one of the hash brown.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You got to mix it up. You get a little
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: bit of the crunch in the potato. When my boy
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Max was a little baby, I'd walk him down to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the local McDonald's. I'd get a hash brown and I'd
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: scoop the soft center ones out, the pale ones, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: just put a little bit. He would nom, nom, nom, nom,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: nom to the point where, you know, we were there
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: all the time and the women behind the counter would
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: throw one in regardless. They'd comp me the little baby
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: one for little Maxie for him to gnaw on his
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: little toothless self. Yeah. Still enjoys them to this day.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Like that's like all he'll order at McDonald's. Just get
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: me one of those.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Just hash browns?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He does like just the hash browns sometimes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Their hash browns are good.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: They are very tasty. They are yummy for your tummy,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: as we say on The Fork Report. All right. Let's
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: get to Handle on the News with Amy King and me,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Neal Saavedra. Lead story. This is good news. Apparently our
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: president won't let Iran strike L.A. or San Diego. Not
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: going to let that happen. You can't be the arsonist
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and put out the fire and say you're a hero.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But I'm glad he added context to it. So President
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Trump told a crowd in Texas yesterday night. of course
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: he's making the rounds before the midterms here, but, um, the, he,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he said he would not allow Iran to attack San
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Diego or Los Angeles, which is nice because we have
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: so many military bases, probably not good. Um, just, he
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: said he, this is after two days after, so he
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: made those off the cuff remarks. Uh, He says, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: want to see a horror show? You want to see problems?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: at the rally. He then assured the crowd, we're not
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: protect our country. San Antonio crowd cheered with the remarks.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, and God on him, that anything
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he says in front of a crowd that has come.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Out is unexpected. So many questions, not many answers. The
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: World Health Organization says it does not currently have enough
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: information from Russia to do a full risk assessment after
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a young woman died of what may have been the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: plague at a lab in Siberia. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: is the director general of the WHO. He says they
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: have asked the Russian Federation for more information about The
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Russian Federation said, well, there's no case of plague recently
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: reported in the southeastern Siberian area, but about 200 contacts
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: have been placed in quarantine.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Hard to get real information.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Why not just admit to it?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Out of Russia. And if we have any cameras out there,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you're going to see one guy in a trench coat.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and an umbrella walk into that building and then walk
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: out and everybody's going to be dead or sick. That's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: how they do it in Russia. Like the poison tip umbrellas,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: get in, get out, done. New information coming out, U.S.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: has lost or sustained damage to 81 military aircraft. So
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that's $ 3. 3 billion in the Iran war. And this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: from a congressional report Now, that's what happens in war.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I expect there to be damage of anything that we
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: use out in that area. I'm not sure what you
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: compare it to. You know, I'm not sure what you
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: put that up against to say whether that's a butt
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: ton or not. But that's what war does. It breaks
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: things and kills people. It's unfortunate.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Mexican mafia right here in L.A. A suspected Mexican mafia
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: associate opened fire on a vehicle in a neighborhood in Pomona,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: sprayed it with more than a dozen bullets, shot it
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: at a person who had allegedly been marked for death
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: over a debt to the notorious prison gang. That shooting
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: was in July of this year, part of a larger
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: murder conspiracy and extortion scheme that led to charges against
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: nine people. The months-long investigation culminated yesterday when authorities arrested
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: six suspects and served search warrants that, along with earlier searches,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: resulted in the seizure of about $ 200, 000 in cash, methamphetamine,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: 11 weapons with missing or obliterated serial numbers, commonly known
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: as ghost guns. Nice to know the Mexican mafia is
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: in town.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: La Eme has been in town for some time. Interesting
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: fun fact. The original logo for the Jesus Christ show
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and the symbol for La Lame, very similar to where
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a head of security there at, where was it? Q, Upstate.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: He reached out to me many, many years ago and said, hey,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: by the way, I said, it'll be changed. We'll move on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: from that that's okay uh what a good time it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: been though uh hanging out with the morning crew as
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know uh we lost uh our board op and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: technical engineer yesterday not not from death he's still alive
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: he just uh left us to go on to something
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: else so Our first day without Kono, but it's all right.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: We have the ever weird and easy to question life
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: decisions of new clay.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: As always. Oh, yeah. All right. Let's get back to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: handle on the news with Amy King and me. So
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: affectionately referred to by, if you've ever heard this before,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Petrus and Money on our sister station, AM570 LA Sports,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: they refer to as Jeannie with a weenie in front
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of her. And she laughs. She thinks it's hilarious. Jeannie Buss,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: her siblings are going after her. They voted to sell
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the family's shares of the Lakers. They filed a formal
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: opposition letter. to Team Governor, which is Jeannie Bass, their sister,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and her attempts to block the sale. This all went
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: down yesterday, was the latest, calling Jeannie's petition legally and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: factually baseless in a statement that they gave at the time.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: So it says, while discussions among the siblings continue, their
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: focus remains on facilitating the proposed transaction and the trust's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: participation in it. while ensuring that all beneficiaries, including Jeannie,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: are treated equally. Well, so said Jimmy, Johnny, Jeannie, Joey,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and Jesse Buss. What a family. But I will tell you,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I only met her once at Petros and Money on
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: their summer tour. She seems absolutely delightful. I mean, you
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: don't know somebody that way. But you just get, you
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: can tell if someone's putting on airs, which bugs me.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Nothing bugs me worse. Just be yourself. You can be
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: silly or joking about who you are. But, you know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: We got a good vibe from Jennifer. Yeah, she just did.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: It's like, it's delightful. Lovely looking lady, effervescent. Just, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: don't know, seem nice. I don't know anything about what's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: going on, nor I do sports, but. I hope they
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all work it out. Family stuff sucks once you become
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: an adult.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and I was trying to figure out why
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: they don't just say, fine, just keep it, Jeannie, because
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to be part of the team for the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: rest of your life. Well, their shares, if they sell them,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: are worth $ 2. 2 billion.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a money grab, and that's the way it
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: always goes down. We're dealing with my mom as she
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: gets older and sick. It's harder to be by herself.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Seven kids. And I have this theory about tribes. So,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and I was trying to explain this to my mom
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: because we all have different ideas as to where it
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: should be done. And it's kind of parsed almost down
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the middle of the family. And I was explaining to her,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: we're tribal creatures. When you're under the same roof as kids,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: that's your tribe. You go to church together. You watch
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: TV together. You eat together. That's your tribe. The minute
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you leave your household and get your new household, whether
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you get a spouse or a partner or whatever it is,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you build your new tribe. And in building your new tribe,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you have a different, you know, different morals or modified
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: morals or ethos. And you build things differently. And you
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: can't put that back under the same roof again. Everyone
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: has their own family belief system now. And I think
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: that's what goes on with Jeannie Buss and her family.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It's like she's going, this is about being a part
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: of this team. And that's the most important part. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the rest are going, you know what? I want to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: enjoy our money while I'm alive. And neither of them
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: are wrong, per se. The law is going to decide that,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I suppose.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Well, the boys in blue have moved on to round two,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: the L.A. Dodgers. won their third straight National League Division championship.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: So they move on now to the championship series against
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee because Milwaukee beat San Diego, knocked them out of
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the division series. So now it's on to the championship series,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: which gets underway Sunday in Milwaukee. So the Brewers have
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: home field advantage. And Neil's eyes just glossed over. He goes, oh, God,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: they're talking sports ball again.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: No. You know, what's funny is I actually what I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: was thinking was how crazy would that have been if
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: it was San Diego?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It would have been really cool. I mean, I would
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: have been fighting in the hallway between Ann and me.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but I the Southern California itself would be
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: an interesting place to be if that had happened. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that's all that I was thinking about. All right, the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Hershey's company. They've added a new disclaimer to packages of
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Reese's peanut butter pumpkins. Why? Warning that the image on
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the wrapper is not exactly what customers should expect to
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: find inside because customers are simpletons.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Do they get sued over this?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a jack-o'-lantern. There's actual cuts in the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: chocolate on the cover or the wrapper that And people,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I guess, are, I'm going to sue you for punitive damages.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Well, to say that the little blob of chocolate and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: peanut butter looks like a pumpkin is a stretch. Same
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: thing with the trees.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, the tree looks like a butt plug. I mean,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: it's like, right? Isn't that what you told me, New Clay?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Okay. So, it's... Yeah, they don't look you want chocolate.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: And you have to do chocolate in quotes now because
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the more of the holiday ones, I think, are using
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: less like actual chocolate. But that's what you should get
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: mad about, whether it looks identical. It's not a jack-o'-lantern, people.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's a pumpkin. Matter of fact, it doesn't
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: say jack-o'-lantern on there. It says pumpkin. But how are
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you harmed that way? How are you harmed? My spirit?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You know what? If I were them, I would just put,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you know, cut your own face. You want me to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: do what? No, no, Clay. Would you? If you told
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: me to. Man the power. Captain, my captain. Come to
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the dark side. So, yeah, they should just say that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: You can carve whatever face you want in your pumpkin
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: because it's not a jack-o'-lantern. Some weather coming our way
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: this weekend. I'm excited. I heard Amy King and Will
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning on a wake-up call. You know, none
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: of us want to see any problems, obviously, but I'll
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: have just a tiny bit of El Nino this year
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: would be nice if that If we could squeeze a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: little rain out of that. This isn't exactly that yet,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: but I guess it would be the precursor or part
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not supposed to be a heavy downpour.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: No, but you said it will hit everywhere a little bit?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: It's supposed to move across Southern California. Yeah, that's what
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the forecasters are saying.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: You know what we should do? What? Let's start our
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: own KFI team of storm chasers. And if we know
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the direction it's going... We'll just all run or drive
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: together in that direction and it will always be raining
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: on us. Okay. Well, we'll bring games and stuff. It
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: won't just.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: We got to wait to do that until gas prices
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: come down.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: We'll steal Kono's car. He's not going to notice. He's
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: going to be like, man, I'm not even working there
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: anymore and I'm still having to fill up every morning.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: It's all right. We'll figure it out. Back to Handle
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: on the News, Neal Saavedra and Amy King. Here we go.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Doubling down on immigration enforcement ahead of the midterms. ICE
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: leadership apparently told agents to increase immigration arrests by a
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: thousand more people daily. That would return it to a
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: previous goal of 3000 daily arrests. ICE had recently been
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: taking in around 2000 people a day across the U.S.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Target officials say they wanted to sustain, but in a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: statement to CNN, a Homeland Security spokesperson maintained that there
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: were no quotas or arrests. Under President Trump and Secretary
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Mullen's leadership, ICE has been supercharged to find, arrest, and
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: deport illegal aliens from the U.S. using every lawful tool available,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: said the spokesperson.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Poor Nithya Raman. That's a lot of margaritas
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: she's going to have to drink while she's hiding. from ice.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: She actually misunderstood. We're almost out of ice? And then, yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: she was drinking margaritas. Well, that was going down. Anyways,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: just thought I'd take a shot. Judge orders, Tennessee judge
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: actually ordered the State Department of Corrections to preserve all
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: evidence related to the botched execution of Death Road. inmate
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Krista Pike. This is filed by Pike's legal team to
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: preserve the evidence. How do you... So botching a death,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: an execution... I guarantee there's a fire squad coming up
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: for a military, the shooter there, the base shooter military.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can't remember. I know who you're talking about.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: The Fort Hood shooter.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. And I guarantee there won't be any problems with
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: that one. I think it'll go swell. I think we
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: have a problem with that. It's a gun. And so
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: we don't like it because it's icky, but killing somebody
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: is pretty much icky on its face. So but I
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: bet you there won't be any problems and we should
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: probably bring that back. Bring back the guillotine. That just
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: seems a little harsh. But Pike, as we know, got
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: two doses of that pentobarbital, that massive sedative. It's used
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: in at least 17 states for capital punishment. But we
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: talked to.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Keeney, you remember we talked to Dr. Keeney about that
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and he said it was like 100 times each dose
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: was like 100 times what you would use or even
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: more than what you'd use for anesthesia or something like that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: And that he thought it probably pierced the went through
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the vein and into the arm. And I think they
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: found that out later.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: In addition to it being.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: They kind of missed the vein. It just went into
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: her tissue. So it knocked her out, but it didn't go.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: It didn't circulate through her bloodstream and kill her.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: But you think they'd give her a third one and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: just make sure it went in the vein at that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: point because she's out. She's not feeling nothing. She was snoring.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Never mind.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: You know, we might not have made it without her.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Margaret Hamilton. Hamilton. She was the groundbreaking researcher who helped
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: create the field of software engineering. Imagine that. She created
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the whole field of software engineering. And her code helped
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: NASA get to the moon. She was 90 years old.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: She recently died. She died on September 30th. She worked
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: at MIT starting in 1959. And she stayed there until
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: the mid-1970s. And that's when Hamilton managed the software engineering division.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: The division landed a contract with NASA in 1961, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: she ultimately led a team of 100 engineers that designed
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the software to guide NASA's Apollo missions. To say she
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: was a pioneer, that she was ahead of her time,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: would be a dramatic understatement, said Apollo's program professor.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't they make a movie about her?
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: So I thought that she was one of the hidden figures.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's what I thought.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: But this is different. So it's interesting that another woman
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: was that instrumental, literally, in getting us to the moon.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Because the other one was— oh, I can't remember their names,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: but man, that was a good movie. But that was
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: to get John Glenn into orbit.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, gotcha.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: So it was— Before the moon mission.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: No, it just, you know, these little pieces of history
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: that are actually huge pieces of history sometimes get lost.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: And I love, one of my favorite things in that
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: movie is that they called that group of women who
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: did all the calculations, they called them computers. They were
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: all the original computers before it was machines that did it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: That was their position.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: That is, yeah, because they're computing.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: That's very, very cool.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I need a computer. And then a woman shows up
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: at the door.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I'm here for you. We'll get back to handling the
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: news in a moment. Just wanted to go to a
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: couple of these talkbacks. Here's my favorite talkback. Listen, you
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: can like what we say or not like what we say.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: That doesn't really matter unless you're going to give a
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: good argument. I like to learn. But one of my
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: favorites is when, we got smart listeners. When the smart
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: listeners show up and say things, and this one is
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: from Charles Baltimore. Charles Baltimore says, hey, you know, when
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you talk about the botched execution, you don't hear about
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the victim at all. And I agree, that's a very
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: great point. So God bless Colleen Slemmer, who was the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: 19-year-old victim. Um, back in 1995, you're absolutely right there. Um,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: she is the victim in all this and Pike is
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: human garbage.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: And then, uh, I talked about that on, on wake
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: up call too. I was like, let's remind us what
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: happened here because this woman is not a victim. She
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: tortured and murdered. Somebody kept part of her scalp as
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: a souvenir and edged a pentagram into her body.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a human garbage. She doesn't, you know, it's
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: normal to throw out garbage. And then Kevin Smith says
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that he uses the Weather Channel app and really likes
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: it because he's got kids and, you know, baseball, softball,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: all kinds of traveling sports.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Sports ball stuff.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sports ball stuff. But they're all, you know, at the,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I guess, at the height. If you're traveling like that,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: you're probably a pretty good team. And that he loves that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And it's pretty good on letting you know what's coming
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: and what's not. So thanks to those that are always
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: giving us important things on the talk back and not just.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You love Trump. You hate Trump. You love Trump. You
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: hate Trump, which is the vast majority of what people say.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: They try and figure you out. You can tell them
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: right to their face something and they'll say, no, I
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: once told a psychic. Because for those who don't know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I'm an amateur magician, loved sleight of hand. And one
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: of the other things that I liked a lot is mentalism,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: which is fake, you know, psychic stuff, which is to
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: say that all psychics are fake in my view. But
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I had a psychic tell me because I could work
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: a room that I was psychic and just didn't receive it,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: just didn't believe in it. I'm like, no, I'm using trickery.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: It's much easier.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Anyways.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Okay. So this is me. Californians paying some of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: highest water bills in the country. We talked about this
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit yesterday. Yes, we're ranked 32 and there
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: are others ahead of us. However, that's out of 500.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: So We're still pretty high. You know, there are others higher,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: but this is California. You're talking Los Angeles is ranked 32.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: But California, you know, San Jose was number one and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: you've got San Francisco in there, Oceanside in there. So
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: California as a whole is taking it in the shorts
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: per use when it comes to higher prices.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Got some trouble for an air taxi company. A jury
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: in Tampa, Florida, found that air taxi startup Joby Aviation,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: and this is a startup, owes almost $ 117 million to
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: an aviation supplier called Aerosonic for allegedly breaching a confidentiality
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: agreement and mishandling trade secrets. The supplier claims Joby used
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: proprietary designs and data to develop its own data probes
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: that apparently measure the pressure around the aircraft because it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: an air taxi and it's going to do a vertical takeoff.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: The major player in the race to bring air taxis
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: to market is Joby. It's denied the accusations. The jury, though,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: found that Joby owes Aerosonic more than $ 48 million for
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: misappropriating those secrets and more than $ 68 million for breaking
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: a nondisclosure.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's only like two companies that are vying right now, right,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: for these air taxis. Have you seen them, what they
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: look like?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I haven't seen one in real life, but they
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: were talking about having them up and running for the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: 2028 Olympics.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen video and photos. They're pretty sleek and
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: pretty amazing. Just talking to my buddy Armando last night
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: about that over dinner, we were talking about the, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: air taxis and how one day we're talking about having
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: like Sunday dinner with your family, but they all live
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: far enough away where it's difficult and how great it
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: would be to just fly everybody in, you know, and enjoy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: All right. Flight attendants, their union flag safety concerns over
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Trump's Washington arch. You know, that's the arch that he
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: wants to build. And the union there that represents thousands
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: of flight attendants says Wednesday it has safety concerns about
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: this triumphal arc that will be on final approach to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan Airport there. I guess they just kind of
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: feel that it's kind of stretched to its limit in
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: that area. And another obstacle, taking up space in the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: flight plan is probably not a good idea. I know
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: nothing about that, but we have all kinds of big
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: things piercing the air. Well, it's got to be controlled
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: airspace because they're wanting to put drones and technology up
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: there for defense purposes in Washington, D.C. Yeah, on that arch.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said it was going to be used for
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: national security.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, because that's how he can get it built.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Well, all right. All right.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: So they're not just suspending students. They're suspending whole fraternities
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: at the University of Arizona. All activities are suspended at
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: all the fraternities. I think there's 21 of them on
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: campus because of. what the university is calling persistent reports
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: of misconduct, including assault, hazing, and drug and alcohol-related behavior.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: They didn't say whether the suspension was triggered by recent
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: public outcry over how Cornell University handled allegations that seven
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: fraternity brothers sexually assaulted a woman in 2024.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm not one of those people where abuse
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: bars use because people abuse something or there are some
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: problems that you should bar at all. But I got
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: to tell you, man, fraternities, you don't hear this about
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: sororities in the same way, in the same sense, don't
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: always sound like a good idea. Even though I know
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I've known many people, I personally would have never been
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: a part of one.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: It doesn't. Oh, I love the Greek system.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it does nothing for me. My wife was in
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: a sorority and I know others and stuff, but it
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: meant a lot to them and their sisterhood and all
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: those things. But it just all too often, it seems like,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to get flack for this. I know
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: not all of them are like this, but all too
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: often we hear these stories that when they are bad,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: they're so incredibly bad that it's like, really?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised that the hazing still goes on. Because it
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: was a thing, you know, when I was in school,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: but they've cracked down and they've changed a lot. I mean,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: we used to have we used to have full on
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: huge raging parties in the basements at the at the fraternities.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I know, but instead of and they were having them
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: off campus, too, at private places, we just had the
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: big ones and we were all together. But now they've
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: cracked down on that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on. What is it? Greek row or
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: whatever it is over by. Oh, by the Coliseum the
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: other day when I went to the Lucas Museum. At USC? Yeah, USC.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: So I drove by all those and it's romantic in
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: one way. It's a really neat system, like you say,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in one way. And then in the other, you just think, God,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of bad.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad everywhere.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I know. I get it. It just, it seems to be,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: then there needs to be a better way to control it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Let's say that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: You know, they don't like when you call them frats.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Who are they?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Like frat guys.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, they don't? No. They don't?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: No, because you wouldn't abbreviate the word country.
• 32:52

• 32:54
  Speaker 1: show Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and
