• 1:42
  Speaker 3: our producer extraordinaire. Oh, before we get into it, I'm
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: watching Fox. As you know, I watch all of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: major works up on my on the wall, on my
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: on the various monitors, and Fox announced that the to
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the what is it, the Freedom two fifty Grand Prix,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: is going to be held in Washington, d C. On Sunday. Actually,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the real name is the Donald J. Trump Freedom to
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: fifty Grand Prix, which is going to go by the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: way we have we already have what street it's on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It goes down Donald Trump Avenue to Donald Trump Place,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: swings over to Donald Trump Court, ends up at Donald
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Trump Street, and then at the end of it, it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: it finishes on the steps of the Donald J. Trump
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Memorial Kennedy Memorial Performance Center. Okay, that's just me making
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: fun of it. In case you haven't guessed it yet,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you're so jealous. I am so jealous.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, you have no idea name on everything?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I want my name on everything. What if you I know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I was going to make fun of the new helipad
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that is now being built in the White House.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Is Donald J. Trump helipad.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'm going to give him some kudos on this one. Okay,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it is not the Donald J. Trump hell have had.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: His name is on it. But the way he's done
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: it is he's taken a plaque, a round plaque of
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: basically a coin and put his name and likeness on
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: it and then put it upside down into the concrete.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So his name is on it, but in a very
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: unobstrusive way, which I thought was, you know, it's like
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: one of those time capsules. You put things in it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: no one sees it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I thought it was, okay, typically that's subtle.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: No, it's pretty subtle. I kind of like that. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: kind of do like that. And that's legitimate by the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: way he built it, and he is saying, okay, my
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: name is on it, but not in any way that
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: is out there, and which is very strange for Donald
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Trump to do something like that, very nuanced, very subtle,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: very low key, because that you cannot argue is how
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you described Donald Trump. Oh and let's not forget for
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Grand Prix, there is there new technology on the cars.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's the new Trump class of race cars that they're doing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: While they're not doing that. We do have a bunch
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: of Trump, a new Trump class of destroyers. You know
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: that there are new warships. It's a new Trump class.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: We have the Neimus class already. We have the submarines.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: There's the Los Angeles. I think there's Los Angeles class.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm not mistaken of submarines anyway. So much for that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: That's just me having a good time, and I just
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: thought that would make a few people pissed off, which
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I really enjoy. And do I get any emails regarding
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: how much fun I make of Trump naming everything after him,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: or that's just that. No, I don't think we have
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: an email address. Oh I don't have an email address.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: That's true, because I don't want to hear your emails
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: or look at your emails. But I think I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: which just goes to the station, doesn't it? Or maybe
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: it just goes to iHeart.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: We get plenty of talkbacks.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: How do they run Neil talkbacks? They call in right
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: and then they're recorded, or if someone picks the money.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: To the screen right in front of me right now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: The same way they do. Ask candle anything.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, mister technology here at work, the technology maven.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, some of them make me laugh.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, all right, guys, enough of that, that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: just me making myself ridiculous. Okay, it is time for
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: handle on the news on this Thursday, August twentieth with
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Amy and Neil and me leads already. Well, the US
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: hit forty trillion dollars in debt. Yeeha. Our national debt
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: has now topped forty trillion dollars, and boy does that
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: affect us big time, mainly our ability to borrow more money.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: The way we borrow is selling bonds, and the decades
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: of borrowing money to pay for the military, rising costs,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: social safety nets, the tax cut that the President instituted
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: with a great, big, beautiful, the big beautiful bill. Because
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: whenever there is a tax cut, whenever revenues stopped coming
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: in to the government and the expenditure is the same,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: guess what. The only way to deal with it is
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just to borrow more money. It's not that complicated. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of people say, is this good? Is it bad? Well,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I can't see how it's good. I mean,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: there's there to reach a point where it becomes insurmountable.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: We're in so much debt, you know, it just topples
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: or the curves bank every time. I know, and it
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: doesn't stop, I know, it starts. One of the things
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that we'd hit trillions, No, it wasn't. When under Obama's
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: tenure it hit twenty trillion dollars and the president made
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a huge deal about that. Donald Trump did, and he
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: should have. He was right. That was a ridiculous The
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: amount of debt we're getting into, well it's doubled since then.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: We're going to be two trillion dollars more in debt
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: just this year. That is spending two trillion dollars more
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: than we are taking in.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: That's two elon musks, it is.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is just crazy. I'm going to talk
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: more about that at seven o'clock because that really is nuts.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And how long, Well, I'll tell you right now. If
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: we balance the budget and not one dime has spent
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: more than it has taken in revenue neutral and we
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: have a three percent inflation rate, it will take thirty
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: just based on inflation, because the only way you can
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: pay this away is inflation. Inflation your way out of
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: this it's over thirty three years to erase the debt,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: thirty three years with no deficit in the budget every
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: year zero, not one dollar more than is coming in.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Last time that happened was one year during Clinton and
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: one year during Eisenhur Okay, moving on.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Well, that's a hell of a project. President took reporters
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: on a tour of his planned helipad. Workers have been
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: constructing it around the clock on the White House's South lawn.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Trump approved the project after current and former officials spent
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: a lot of time in a lot of years trying
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: to figure out how to accommodate the next generation of
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Marine one helicopters, which apparently run the risk of burning
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: the lawn.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does, it does. I mean there's no problem
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: with helipad being built. I mean it makes sense. And
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I love the idea of taking a tour, points to
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: a concrete circle and goes there. It is. I don't
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: know what kind of a tour that would be, but
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: so be it. And he also took reporters through the
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: side of the new ballroom. In any case, as I
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: said earlier, and this one is where Donald where Donald
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Trump's name is going to be on the helipad, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: very very subtly, it'll be on a coin, a plaque,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a metal plaque that's going to go upside down into
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the helipad, saying effectively that he built it, which I
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: think is totally legitimate. Would you ever think that I
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: would say Donald Trump's name on something is totally legitimate.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: I'm gobsmacked.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I know, gob smacked. I know it's stunning, isn't it? Okay?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: One more before we take a break, all right.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: The thirty year old man we know as Jonathan Renderconnect
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: is coming out and saying that again that he's not
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: guilty of the fires, those deadly LA fires that happened
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: just a couple of januaries back. He said he pleaded
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: not guilty again yesterday after federal prosecutors recast the charges
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: against him following a mistrial. That's stunned a lot of people,
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: me included. The effort by federal prosecutors reflects a push
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: of accountability for the deadly twenty twenty five Palisades fire,
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: even after ten of twelve jurors voted in June to
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: find the man not guilty. So they've added he now
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: faces some felony charges.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Actually, they've reduced a couple.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Of charges, and yes, he went from three to two. Right, Yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: the arson.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: And it focuses only on one fire, the Lachman fire.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And a quick note about this. When it looks like
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: ten out of twelve jurors go one way or the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: other in terms of guilt or innocence, the prosecutors take
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: a good look at that and normally would say, okay,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: ten out of twelve four not guilty. We're not going
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to refile. But in some cases are so big that
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: they have to refile. I that's what's going on here.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Quite often it's on I don't think we're going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: go for it because look at how many people wanted
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: not guilty verdicts on the jury.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, So what if you could stop cancer before
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: it started? Moderna shares more than doubled yesterday after the
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: company announced initial results from a study of an experimental
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: cancer treatment that would be a first of its kind.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Moderna and merk are developing a treatment using an mRNA
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: based cancer vaccine called into in Tismaran something like that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: The study compared using Intismaran and key Trudah, which is
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: already on the market, and patients who got the combination
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: lived longer without cancer returning or metastasizing than patients who
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: just got key truda.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Do you know that Sometimes when you have a drug
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: that's being tested and it's human testing and it's the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: double blind study for real testing, you know, the FDA
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: kind of testing that you have to get FDA certified
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: for the drug. It's when you have something that is
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: wildly successful and you've got half of the control group
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: not getting getting the drug, getting a placebo, the other
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: half getting the drug and they're surviving at big rates,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: they throw away the test. They just start using the
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: drug on people because it's it's just saving lives. When
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: it's that, when it's that obvious, doesn't happen very often.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: But I'm wondering if this does, because there are certain
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: drugs that that has happened to.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine being the placebo group?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you go, oh, and you don't know. All
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you know is you're dying and you know that the
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: other person over there has just left to go play badminton,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, it's a tough one. That's the whole
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: point is the placebo group disappears and out becomes part
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: of the trial group. Getting the getting the medication.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Mission to rescue NASA's falling Swift Observatory. We heard Amy
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: talking about this on wake up call was called off
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: yesterday and that basically dooms this space telescope to destructive
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: atmospheric reentry later this year. Amy, did they say when
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: it was supposed to come back?
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: They said it could fall out of orbit by about October,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: but it's not expected to impact the Earth. It's expected
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: to completely burn up and re entry.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: And is it re entering at a much much faster
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: rate than normal satellites?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Do?
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I think it's not, because you know, they spent thirty
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: million dollars trying to save this thing by getting pushing
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: it up into an orbit and it didn't work.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Amy, You miss that it's the Swift Observatory. Oh I did. Yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: that's why he had to tell us. Yeah, that's why
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: this is called a bill Handle show. It's because of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the humor. Yes, it's horrible.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they said it was a high it was a
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: high risk, high reward challenge that they're proud of and
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: the milestones they reached.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: They learned a lot. But yeah, it's going to come down.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: You don't haven't up there for twenty two years.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how do they bring they move a satellite up.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: It doesn't have refueling. I guess it's out of fuel.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: It doesn't have propulsion.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they sent to do it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: They sent up a craft kind of we were likening it,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: dumbing it down to wally where it was going to
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: go up try to grab the satellite and then push
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: it upp into a higher orbit.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: And there's no place where you can grab it. It's
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: not like it has grappling hooks or anything.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: It doesn't.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, the thing that they sent up has like
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: three arms and was supposed to try to gently push it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just wondering how they Yeah, it was. It's just interesting. Yeah,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Well, at least she was honest. Right.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: During the only debate for the runoff election to determine
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: the next Senator from North Carolina, late Senator Lindsey Graham's
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: sister Darlene, who's running for his seat on a permanent basis,
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: was asked a question about the importance of Taiwan to
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: US interests, and she kind of sat there for a
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: second and said, you know, that's.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: She's not that informed on national security. That prompted booze
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: from the audience.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: She did say I'm not a politician or a polished
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: politician up here.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, her saying I'm not informed, I think goes both ways.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: One is she clearly is not informed, and that's tough
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: for us cenator to be, particularly since Lindsay Graham was
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: a true expert on foreign relations. I mean he's been there,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: he had been doing that for decades. So the argument
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: is she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. How
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: do you vote for her? Her argument is I'm not
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a politician, and that's why you should vote for me.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to follow my brother's footsteps and keep
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: in mind, he was wildly successful in South Carolina. So
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: we'll see if that Translates's going to be interesting. It's
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: going to be a very interesting vote come November.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Well, this is no real surprise that Californians are more
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: concerned about Trump and his possible interference in a mid
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: term than fraud at the polls. So when you live
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: in an area with the majority of voters sixty one
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: percent identifying potential federal interference as a major concern versus
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: fifty nine percent who cited possible foreign interference. This really
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: kind of breaks down to the fact that registered Democrats
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: outnumber Republicans two to one margin here.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, now a note about this, and I
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: am one of those that's more concerned about the Trump
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: administration interfering because we know by executive order he wants
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to do away with mail in ballots straight out, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: California relies on mail in ballots. I think eighty percent
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: of the vote is now a mail in ballots in California.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And you talk about voter fraud, I'd like to see
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: some if he could come up with real voter fraud,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I'm on his side. I mean, if he could come
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: up with it. But Trump has a way of saying
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: this is what's happening, and there's no evidence that's the problem.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, I don't like the President saying there'll
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: be no mail in ballots. I don't like the fact
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: that the Constitution says this is the states determine which
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: way we vote, and the President saying no, no, I'll
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: determine which way we vote. That's a tough one, just saying.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Looking at the so called balance here, you had eighty
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: percent of Democratic respondents to the poll versus twenty eight
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: percent of Republicans.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it breaks down. Everything is party lines today,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: everything straight down the line.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: So you think it's hard to find work in the
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: industry now, Paramount Skuiddances proposed one hundred and eleven billion dollar
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery could result in forty five
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: hundred jobs lost in the LA area over a three
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: year period.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: That's in a new report.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: LA County supervisors earlier this year had asked to get
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: a potential economic impact of the merger. The report was
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: just completed this week. It says LA Counties film and
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: television economies already undergoing a significant structural contraction. The proposed
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: merger of Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramounts Guidance introduces an
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: additional source of risk into that already changing market.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: So I'm a little confused, Amy, which of the Warner
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Brothers Discovery mergers is in play here? The one that
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: says there going to be more jobs and it's going
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to help the industry in Southern California or the one
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: that says we're going to lose forty five hundred jobs.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Which one works?
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: You can't ask me that question.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I understand it's just math, that's all.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: After nearly six years of debate, going back and forth
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: and some backlash, California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: voted unanimously yesterday to adopt new landscaping requirements within five
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: feet of homes. They're dubbing this special area zone zero famillion.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: With them six years.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so millions of Californians living in fire prone areas,
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: they're going to have to have these new requirements in
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: the worst hazard zones, by the way, specifically state responsibility areas,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: very high fire hazard severity zones, and local responsibility areas.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: I love when we pay more and more taxes for
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: the government to tell us all of this is our problem.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, to Amy's point, it took six years.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Who is fighting this? You have to have plants five
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: feet from your from the property or and you have
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: you can't have kindley wood within file.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: They don't want stacks of wood, you know, because in
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: mountains and fire prone areas are usually I know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I understand this, but Neil that that's the point. Who
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: would be fighting this regulation? Well?
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: And who's going to enforce it?
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Because here's what it doesn't ban plants and stuff within
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: five feet. It bans things like firewood falling leaves and
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: branches and mulch and wood chips within five feet.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: You can have the you know, you can have the
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: firewood police come out.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: About the leaves police. When police start falling in the
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: fall exactly, I started issuing.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: But then the issue you issue citation. It's easy to
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: have monitors. You have the cops.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: You have I come by for us.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: They do, they do specially.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: They give us requirements. But the pine needles are hard
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: to pick up. And those are kindling.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yea nice.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: But I want to know who was on the other
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: side of this, who fought this for six years? Yeah?
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't get it, you know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I okay, fair enough, by the way, pine needles, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: don't know. If you've ever used pineapples pine needles for
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: pickup sticks, you can remember mine, remember that game with
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the pickup sticks?
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: And okay, so wasn't the wildlife that got them on
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: this Safari? Seven people, including five Americans, were killed when
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: a Safari helicopter crashed in Kenya. It happened in a
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: remote part of northern Kenya. Among those killed were an
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: executive with Telemundo and the director of Ecuador's National Intelligence Service.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: The helicopter went down in a rugged area in the
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: foothills of Mount Ola Laqui, which is a popular tourist destined.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was watching the news last night and the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: helicopter is supposed to land on this ledge and they
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: think it went right into the mountain or the blade
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: clip the mountain and the boom finished.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Aren't you going on one of these safaris this year?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I am, I am, but I'm not taking I'm not
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: going in a helicopter. I'll tell you that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: We took a balloon ride on the set.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna do. That's what I'm going to
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: do the most.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear about it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Bill.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: It's the most fabulous thing you will ever see.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you go up in the air, you look down,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: and then you land. That's basically it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: It's a little it's a little more interesting than that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well you don't have to go. No, of course
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I have to go. For God's sake, of course I
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: have to go.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you are going in something possibly dangerous in the.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Balls are dangerous. Although I have been in a balloon before,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: and I have these horrible Nightmary dreams or fantasies in
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: a negative way of going straight through the bottom of
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the basket that it gives way and.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Unravels and that handle.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: That's what. Yeah, it's not pleasant.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Okay anyway, So Cono, don't stop those Savedra and Cono
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: in the morning shirts just yet.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: You got it, all right.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: So one of California's most scenic roadways and we all
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: love it, is turning high tech eyes on you and
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: me speeding there. Malibu has installed these speed cameras as
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: part of the pH Speed Safety System. It's nearing its completion.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: We all know that there's horrible accidents that go along
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: that stretch, which is beautiful and quite lovely. But the
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: city called the safety system necessary because we hear of
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: these dozens yeah constantly.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Why do you question why they haven't done this before?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: I mean you're talking about twenty one miles this portion
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: of PCH. Yeah, and there's cost lead people dying on there.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Well, have you ever been on PCH where there is
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: no bumper to bumper? People are going one hundred and
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: twenty miles an hour down that road.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I used to take it quite a bit when
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: we were in Ktown. I take it back to Newbury Park, a.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Win for Bill Handle. The Kennedy Center says it's going
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: to hold off on putting Donald Trump's name back onto
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: the performing arts building because there's an ongoing legal battle.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: So the center, remember they put Donald Trump and next
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: to Kennedy and then the court said no, you can't
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: do that and made them take it down. And then
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: the board, which is Trump aligned, voted last week to
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: add the president's name to the building.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Again, that's being fought.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Representative Joyce Beatty from Ohio is seeking to have the
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: court block this latest move. So the court or so
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: this Kennedy Center says, mm, we're going to wait until
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: at least September eighth before we look what they're doing.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: But look what they're doing. The court said, you can't
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: put his name on it as the name of the
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center itself. So that's off.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: What they want to do is put the Kennedy Memorial Center,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: restored and renovated by President Donald J. Trump, which is
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: not the name of the center. It just describes the
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: renovation and that's going to be up on the wall.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know, kind of letters. Maybe it's bigger than
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: the name of Kennedy. And then and then they are
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: now considering renovated by President Donald J. Trump, who is
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the bestest president we've ever or will have.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: This is a.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: So obsessed about this. I don't get it. Why the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center, I I, you know, I don't.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Know what mine should do. They should do a light
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: etching on the side of the wall with every last
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: name of every president, just the light etching, so every
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: president's on there.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: But it's yeah, but that takes away, that takes away
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: from restored by the Donald sorted by Donald A.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Trump.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: So they're going to argue that that we're not renaming it,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: we're merely describing what has happened to it. So it's
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: the fight just goes on and on. And of course
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: it's the independent board that's making this decision on the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Kennedy Center, which whose chairman happens to be oh, I
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: don't know Donald Trump. Uh, and the other board members
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: are selected by oh, I don't know Donald Trump.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, moving, I mean they should put chairman Trump on
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: this side.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Moving on, all right? The drug the DEA joining an investigation.
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: We all heard about Hayden Panitier's death and now the
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: DEA is getting joining that investigation into this actress's death.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: We haven't heard anything really as to how she does.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: We kind of can guess around some of the things.
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: But she had an on again offin relationship with boyfriend
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: Brian Hickerson, and apparently he and his brother Zach were
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: there when she died, and they're looking into I don't know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: maybe foul play the drugs that were used.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I have a question and that is uh,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: you know, not that I don't think it's it's a
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: big story first for family and friends, but why is
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: this such a big story? I mean, how many drug
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: overdoses happened yesterday where people died.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: She was very open about some issues that she.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: Had and I get that that came out and she
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: was quite beloved and when you're when you're struggling and
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: you're honest about it.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: But that's a lot of people. I mean, it's that
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: she wasn't alone in talking about her drug overdose, but
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: she wrote her drug Problems. I just to me, I
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: just think that it's a big deal is made of
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: people who are in Hollywood.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but her book came out in May, so it's
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: kind of fresh that she's been talking and was in
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: the you know, the light about some of this.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: And I think Mel's right too. I mean, she was beloved.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: I remember the first time I saw her was in
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Remember the Titans when she was a kid, and.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: I just she was just a beautiful little actress and
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: she was about her.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I think you're right there was something that all right, now,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe I don't Maybe I don't see it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I also didn't know who she was either, so I've
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: never seen that, I think, so imagine it being Clark
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Gable to you, Wow, Clark Gable, Carry Grant better, real
• 28:48

• 29:03
  Speaker 4: board there at the Magic Castle.

  Speaker 3: Oh, Amy, was I right on that?
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I didn't enough. You want me too?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, real quickly, we'll see if I was right. Another
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: useless fact.
