• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We'll start with you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Bill.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: There you go, by the way. That's uh oh. For
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: some reason, your hair looks particularly red this morning. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: don't know why.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Same as it is day.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, I just sort of missed it. Now the just
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: your set, yes, exactly, okay, cono, good morning, good morning, William.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And for some reason, your baseball cap looks particularly like
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a baseball cap this morning.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great one.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah. I think someone has to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: mute back there. All right, Will, good morning, good morning, Bill,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. And h Anne, Oh there
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: she's giving me the love. I was just looking at
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the news coming across right now, Amy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And then there is the Niels Stair. Hey, Neil, good morning. Okay,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: this this just broke the million dollar Okay, it's just
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: being announced that Savannah Guthrie has has said she just
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: announced a million dollars for a tip in Nancy Guthrie.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: This disappearance.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: In four weeks now, since Nancy Guthrie disappeared, and they've
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: had no major breaks in the.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Case, I think, well, I think it's it's it's a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: tough call at this point, especially since the ransom demands
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: disappeared very quickly early on, and there were several different
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: ransom demands and it's just all gone. So it's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: very strange case as to why she was kidnapped. Maybe
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it's because she was a gut three or Samantha Guthrie's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mom and Savannah Guthrie's mom, and assuming that Savannah Guthrie
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: makes just buckets and buckets of money off the Today Show,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and the assumption is she makes buckets and buckets. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: my guess is she makes buckets and buckets.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: But don't like the more money you have, the less
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: of it's probably liquid.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you're going to four weeks to unload it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's not that hard to unload. If
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you will property, you can get mortgages on it. Now
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it is four weeks, there's plenty of time. I mean,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you have twenty four hours. Is a little bit different
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: when that happens. But no, So we'll see if anything
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: comes up. I mean, it's a million dollars already. Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And in her video message that she's releasing this morning,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: in offering that million dollars, she's saying that she realizes
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: her mother may be gone. Yeah, which is the first
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: time that we've heard her say that four weeks with
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: no sign of her.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that million dollars on top of the two
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand that has already been offered? I mean, are
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: we talking one three two million?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Well, they're saying now that it's a family reward of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a million dollars.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But it was the FBI that offered the one hundred
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars reward and an anonymous donor, if you will,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: anonymous supporter offered double one hundred thousand, so prior to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: this million dollars, it was a two hundred thousand dollars reward.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. It's yeah, this is not unfortunately, this
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is not bode well. And I think it's sinking in.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And I think it's always been there obviously at the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: back of the mind. All right, is the Taco Tuesday
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night State of the Union? No tonight, I'm sorry,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: tonight's State of the Union starting at five o'clock correct
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a mundo or six o'clock card time, six o'clock our time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm very good at time. We'll certainly right, yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and we'll be talking about that. Thank you for that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So we'll be I'll be watching obviously with baited breath,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: anchovies in my mouth, and I will we'll talk about
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that tomorrow morning. For sure.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: We have an idea you should probably you know, get
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: some cushions and some popcorn.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he said more about he said it's going
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to be a long one when the president, this president
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: says it's going to be a long one. And he
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: has a reputation for making short ones long ones. When
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: he says it's going to be a long win. Be prepared, right,
• 5:14

• 5:37
  Speaker 2: new kind of locks. Oh, we can do that, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: different kinds of smoke salmon the Costco now carries. Okay,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: here we go the news lead story. Excuse me for
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a loop through? You for a loop. The one thing
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you have to do it was quick to it, quick

  Speaker 2: to it. Okay, let's do that again. Coming up handle
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: on the news lead story? Does that help? Okay?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Story about Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida. And this is
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the judge that has been so on the side of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump that I mean everything has come before her.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: She's been pro Trump and she's a Trump appointee and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: special counsel Jack Smith final report on the mishandling of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: classified records the by Donald Trump an obstruction of justice.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: That allegation to it morrow lago, it will not be released.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Not gonna do it, she said. Nope. She threw out
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the case against Smith or against the President, and this
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: is going to be it's a major win. He's got
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: some judge. I thought he was going to win on
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court issue of the terrorists, because he's got
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: some judges. But at least that didn't happen.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Amy the deputy director ditches his job, Doctor Ralph Abraham
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: stepping down as the Principal Deputy Director of the US
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He was just sworn
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: in December fifteenth. The agency says he chose to step
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: down to address unforeseen family obligations. As the surgeon General
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: of Louisiana, Abraham and ordered health officials to stop promoting
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: mass vaccinations.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it turns out that he is allergic to the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: truth and he couldn't take it anymore. Okay, political statement,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you know, why not? Here's the problem we're going to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: have this morning until Lindsey comes down. I want to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: point something out, Mike Clock. We lost the internet last night,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and we also lost electricity for a small period of time.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: So my clock is way off and I can't fix it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: She's the only one that handles the clock around she
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: he's the one that handles the clock. Yeah, redes the clock,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and so I have my I cover that up. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: have my watch sitting there as my clock. So it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: just a small little clock, right. Oh yeah, it's a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: small little clock. But it doesn't do very well. It
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: shows that I'm almost at what thirteen? Do I have that? Right?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So we got to wait till he comes down and handle. Yeah. No,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I've got it. I've got it. It's just it's not
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: as easy, but I have it all right. Tonight is
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the State of the Union speech. We just heard that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the Democrat governor of which state is going to be
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: giving the opposing view. It's just been reported, and of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: course they happened thirty seconds ago when I've already forgotten
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the name.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Oh how unusual, Bill, I think it's uh, it's the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: new one, new Virginia.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I now I don't know. You know, these are recorded
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: in advance. It's recorded well before the presidential speech. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: whenever you hear a quote rebuttal, it really isn't about
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the specifics is simply the Democratic Party platform. Don't they
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: just do it live? Because you can't. You can't, so
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: they just don't. They should it is govern Spamberger, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they don't. I mean, it's it's too much to write
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it out because nobody writes their own speeches, and so
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it's it would be so easy, honest to god. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: all they have to do is have the Democratic response
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: simply saying you've just seen what the president says. Don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: believe a word of it. Thank you very much for listening.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I greatly appreciate it. Okay, more handle on the news,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Amy Neil and b Nick. Reiner was in court on Monday.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He pleaded not guilty here in downtown Los Angeles. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: he is being tried for the killing of his parents,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Hollywood director Rob Reiner, his mother and wife of Rob Reiner,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Michelle Singer Reiner, at the near the end of last year,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in December. So two counts a first degree murder is
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: what he's being tried for.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: He's thirty two years old, and he's got a public defender.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: We talked about that yesterday, and it's said that he
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: has schizophrenia, so obviously I'm assuming that's what they're going
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: to go after.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Well, they're going to try. They're going to try to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: go for not guilty by reason of insanity. And that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: why the plea, it always starts not guilty, always gives
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: him time to just start dealing with it, look at
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the case and get experts together to establish that he
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: was insane. I don't think he's going to be insane.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I think he has some severe medical issues. But to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: reach the point of insanity legally is a very high bar,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: very difficult. That has not changed. By the way, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: rule of insanity came in in the eighteen nineties in
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the United States, it has not changed. Still the same,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: still the same rule.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Hope you have your snickers. It's going to be a while.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: President Trump says it's going to be a long speech
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: when he delivers his State of the Union tonight. He says,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: because we have so much to talk about. There is
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a lot on the president's plate. Polls show his approval
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: rating is sliding. Republicans are worried they're going to lose
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: control of at least one of the houses of Congress
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: in the elections. The Supreme Court just ruled against the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: president's tariff policy, and we could be getting ready to
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: conduct a military strike against Iran.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of issues. At seven o'clock, I'm
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: going to go through to him a little bit. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are not happy, and the President doesn't care.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, the President doubles down. I mean, it's just
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: that simple. Nothing is ever wrong. I'll talk about more
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: about that at seven o'clock. What a stringe story this is.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Did you hear about the BAFTA Awards you had Michael
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: B Jordan, Delroy Lindo were on stage and all of
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: a sudden, the N word is screamed from the audience.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: These are two if you're not familiar to African American men,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: and this was during the award presentation there. And one
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: of the films is a documentary called I Swear. It's
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: about a Scottish turette's syndrome campaigner. His name is John Davidson,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: and he was in the audience and shouted the N
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: word apparently. So now you have BAFTA apologizing when originally
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: what ended up happening is the host Alan Cummings at
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: the time addressed the outburst and talked about how you
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: know Tourett's in this particular case, it's not just Tourett's.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: It's actually a subcategory of yeah, the.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Ones, Yes, the famous ones where you you know, utter
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: those really Yeah, we have a lot of you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: black folks going yeah, they went nuts. But there's more
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to it. I mean, the story is, there's a lot
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: to this story. I'm going to be doing this at
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: seven point thirty when I'm going to ask Neil and Dickhead.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask Neil to join us a.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, you know, it could tie I have no idea,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: but it could tie into what's the most inappropriate thing
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: to say in the moment and the mind just doesn't filter, I.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Have That's exactly the case. You have no idea what
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you're saying. But I also want to I'm going to
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: extend that because strange timing. I mean, I know, it
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: just happens. I mean, he does that all the time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That's not the point. There's two points of this story
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that I'm going to jump on, and that is BAF
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to the actual award ceremony and what the BBC did
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and didn't do, and autism training for law enforcement. How
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that connects. That is an interesting story. That's at seven
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: point thirty.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Hi ho, hi ho, It's back to work. They go.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: The healthcare union representing thirty one thousand healthcare workers and
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: nurses in that Kaiser Permanente strike, say that there has
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: been significant movement in the bargaining and workers are going
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: to return to the job they've been striking for the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: last four weeks. Returning to their patients and their livelihoods,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: according to the union, is the clearest path to securing
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a final agreement. Apparently what got them there is that
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the union accepted a pay proposal the company made last
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: fall for twenty one and a half percent raises across
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the board.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Over what period of time do we know? I mean,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: twenty one and a half percent raised starting next year
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: is one thing, but over the course of five years
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is something else. But we'll find out as more news
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: comes out of that. Who caved the most. And it's
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: obviously a question of sausage making, that is, you don't
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: want to see what goes behind the scenes, Well you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: get it, you get the answer at the end of
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that process. Okay, we're gonna hear about this tonight too.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: All right, So President Donald Trump, if you remember, got
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: his hands slapped. Supreme Court struck down most of Trump's
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: tariff agenda, saying that it was unconstitutionally didn't have the
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: legal right to do it. President Trump came out and said,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: all right, well, these global tariffs that I was going
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: to do ten percent, I'm gonna do fifteen percent, he said,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: over the weekend. And now it's back to ten percent
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: flat tariff. So I see how long that lasts. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: that could only work for one hundred and fifty days under.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But that's still one hundred days, still six months. So
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it's I love these stories. So he is pissed off
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: of the Supreme Court. He talks about how that s
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision helped him, how he came out on
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: top when he first came out, this is actually good
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: for us. Then he turned around and called them a
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: bunch of lap dogs and sucking up to the Democratic toadies.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And he goes, so the ten percent is gone, I'm
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: gonna make it fifteen percent. I'll show you. And then
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the countries are reeling, they don't know what to do,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and then okay, we'll keep it at ten percent. That
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: happened all over fifteen minutes. The world in them on
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: their toes. I guess they are. I mean, it's no,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: markets wont stability. That's what markets want, and this is
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: anything other than stability. It's we'll see tonight about the tariffs.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating and see what he says
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: about the tariffs. I know one thing he says about
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the tariffs, and that is that the country, for example, China,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: we deal my partner and I deal with China, China,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and we buy steel cookware. We bring in and ported
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Chinese cookwaar made out of stainless steel. And as he said,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the President said, China is paying for those tariffs, which
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: is why last week we wrote a check to Customs
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: and Border Enforcement because they wanted the tariffs. Wait a minute,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I thought China was writing you the check. No, you are.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Everybody that brings in goods from anywhere in the world
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: in the United States is writing the check. Wait a minute, No,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: it's not. Well, yes it is. You want to see
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: my canceled check.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: All right, Gosh, you can't even get good slave labor anymore.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's all right, going viral apparently
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: good for business. An ikea plushy that you've probably seen
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: if you're on social media at all, that has been
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: dragged around zoo enclosure in Japan by a baby Macoq
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: monkey is now selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: because it is sold out in the stores. Punch is
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the abandoned monkey at the Ichikawa Zoo in Japan and
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: is kind of obsessed with his stuffed orangutan, which zoo
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: keepers gave him as a way to cope with life
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: without his mommy. Apparently he relies on it quite a bit,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: so Iikia posted a photo of a plush monkey wrapping
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: its arms around the comfort orangutan, listed as something I
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: can't pronounce. The company sells it for nineteen ninety nine
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and it says we're all Punch is family Now. Well
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that worked and it's sold out and now it's going
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, lovely. The good news with this is that Punch
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: actually is getting involved in the rest of the monkey troop.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: At first, he was not back and forth. Colo just
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: brought me up to speed. It's a it's a saga, right, yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: He was rejected by his mom, then accepted by the monkeys,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: then bullied by the monkeys. Then he has a bodyguard,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and then yesterday he stood up to the bullies. He
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: raised up on two legs and raised up to him.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: It's a back off man.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good for him. Then they gave him a knife
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to commit suicide. But that's okay, that's horrible.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get one of those stuff to Rangutangs and
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: we're gonna put a one one love I e had
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: on it and it's going to fill in for Kono
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: when he takes time off exactly.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Oh. Good news. Out the Winter Olympics.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Milano Cortina the most viewed Winter Olympics since twenty fourteen.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Network averaged there at NBC twenty three point five million viewers.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: That's pretty huge throughout the two plus week competition. This
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: was across all of their platforms there and that's that's
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: pretty great.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it almost doubled what was the viewership of twenty
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: twenty two from four years ago, just about double. That
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: is good. Noise. I was trying to think, what, what
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is it? What? What did it?
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: What motivated people to watch this time? Because I heard
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: way more buzz.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: They are saying that it could be the time zone. Oh,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: because it's just it's nine hours different for us. Six hours.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: We had the watch, but we had to wait. If you
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: were going to do it live, you'd have to watch
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: at three o'clock in the morning because the events started
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that morning time for them, which is middle of the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: night for us. So I don't know if that's the case.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Well, but they're saying it's more favorable when they than
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: when they were held in Russia China.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Camp Mysstic still an issue after all of those campers
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: are swept away in flooding and killed. The families of
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: nine of the campers and counselors that were killed are
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: suing health officials claiming they failed to enforce an evacuation
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: plan that's required by state law. The lawsuit alleges that
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: health officials had licensed Camp Mystic, the Christian Girls camp
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: at the edge of the Guadalupe River, despite the camp
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: not having an evacuation plan as required by state camp
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: safety rules, and they even had said that the camp
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: had no plan to evacuate the riverside cabins where the
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: girls swept, and this camp's emergency policy instructed campers not
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: to evacuate during a flood.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, heads are Hedge is going to roll on this one.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And the big issue is they violated state and camp
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: safety rules and the Texas Department of State Health Services
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: went ahead and gave them a license anyway, So yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it's going to cost Texas some money on this, as
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: it should. Those poor families losing little girls. I mean,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: it's just it could have been averted. That's the point.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: It's not one of those crazy forces of nature that
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: come down and take away a family or whatever. This
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: could have been averted. So after the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: It came down from the President, Donald Trump's emergency tariffs
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: were not legal from the US Supreme Court. Now everybody's
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: trying to figure out how to get their money back,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: including fed X, who yesterday filed the lawsuit in the
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: US Court of International Trade seeking a refund for this.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: They did not provide the dollar amount there at fed X.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: A side note, they delivered the lawsuit to the wrong
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: place and the box was crushed when it arrived.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: That's very funny. I can't no, that's very strong. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: let me get this right. Okay, you've got these businesses,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and incidentally, fed X is only the tip of the Iceberg.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are thousands of businesses. Tens of thousands
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: of businesses have already demanded that the US government to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: refund their money because of tariffs. These companies have paid.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: But wait a second, they're actually suing for money they
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: haven't paid because the foreign countries have paid the tariffs,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: So how can they sue? Here's a perfect defense the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Trump organization. The administration has you never paid the tariffs.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: China paid the tariffs. But wait a minute, here's the
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: check that I wrote to the government. Not true, absolutely
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: not true. You did not write that check.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Then China should sue and say they want their money back.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Well they got, Well China got, that's true. Yes, you're right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that's the lawsuit China. I can't wait for tonight when
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: he talks about the tariffs. I really can't. And how
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: prices have never been lower ever we are, It's fantastic.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just where do you go with this stuff?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know where you even go with this stuff.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I don't what's the weather like, Amy, mostly Sonny, it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: raining outside. I'm telling you it is raining, and I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: don't care if you go outside and tell me it's Sonny,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: if I tell you it's raining, it is raining. I know.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: I missed the days when presidents would come out and
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: be honest during.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: The like it like it never. Yes, there's just a question.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: It's what things are crap. I don't know what I'm doing. Man,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to a million miles per hour. Actually, president,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: actually presidents have said things are crap. It's been a
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: long Jimmy Carter said that. Ronald Reagan said that he goes,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: things are crap and we're going to straighten it out,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be it's going to be a
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: worse things it is now until we turn it around.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah Carter, Yeah, but I can't wait for tonight. I mean,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: tonight is going to be just a butte million dollar reward.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie, of course, uh, missing since February first, Her
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: daughter Savannah came out and posted on social media this
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: morning the family's offering a million dollar reward for her return.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: They also say that they realize she may no longer
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: be with us. And then also the other information that's
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: come out is that the guy in the pictures from
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the doorbell camera had apparently been there more than once,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: because it says that one of the pictures is from
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: earlier than February first. They believe she was taken on
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: February first. In one picture he has a backpack. On
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: another picture he doesn't. They say those pictures are from
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: different days.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're probably going to grab him at
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: some point, because they did find DNA in the house
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: that was not hers, and they're trying to figure out
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: who maybe, and they put it through the databases and
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it's not in Codex of Criminals that where the DNA
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: has been taken, fingerprints, aliva, that sort of thing, because
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: they now have the ability to re engineer or go
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: backwards and find cousins and find uncle, second cousins and
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: then just say who and your family and then they
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: start tracking down who was where. So inevitably they're going
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to catch this guy. But it's going to take a
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: long time. That's the problem. And of course at this point,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: you know people are losing hope. And Savannah Guthrie, as
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: you said it for the first time, admitted that her
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: mom may be gone, and you wonder how long has
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: she actually thought that, And unfortunately probably longer than we see.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: But at this point, wouldn't you almost rather than you
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: thinking about your mom being held up captive somewhere.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, closure, I mean, I mean you do very
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: sad not knowing. Yeah, chaos in Mexico.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Dozens of Mexican soldiers killed in those cartel attacks. This
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: is after that operation that was targeting that drug kingpin, Elmentcho.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: And uh so now you've got to shine bamb the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Mexican President, Claudia Shinebaum, coming out and seeing the countries
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: at peace currently and there's calm. Some say differently yet,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: but you know, they're pulling people out of cars and
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: torching at.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: This point, we're not We're not seeing mass killings. They're
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: just making life miserable. So I guess there's good news there.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: But there it's the the cartel is saying, hey, don't
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: screw with us, because we're gonna make your life miserable.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: This goes back to the days of El Chappa with
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: his son. They captured his son. Mexican authorities picked up
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: his son and they had to let him go because
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: El Choppo was making it just started destroying the country. Also,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: don't you find it ironic that El Mencho, which of
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: course is the Spanish the equivalent of the Mensch and
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: he probably isn't a mensch, right, you think he's sugar.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think he's beyond okay, and we're looking
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: for his mishpaka or miss pa. Well, they they're all
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: mishuka at that. Now they're not together. Oh that's a
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: good point. If they're very close together, then they may
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: very well be mishpocha.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? What do these words mean?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Well, me, Amy, I know, I know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Next time I see you will Yeah, next time I
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: see you, I'm taking away your juw card. Amy, You're done.

  Speaker 3: I don't have a jew card.

• 28:38
