  Speaker 3: Yes? I'm sure? How old? How old?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Thirty nine?

  Speaker 3: Thirty nine? I look older? You look so much older
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: than that. You know how much old? How old are
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you really?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Fifty nine?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: You still look older than that? You're right?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And if you and if you take that doesn't mean
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that he's not awesome. That just means he looks old
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: as hell? What and if you take off that headset,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the hair on top of your head is absolutely a delight.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's okay. I just don't have any product in it. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: no you don't. And good morning Anne, Good morning Bill.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, So a couple of things that I want to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: share with you. Number one, we'll do the horsebacking story.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Then I'm going to do the horseback story, and then
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: we're going to do the colon Oscby story.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: The horseback story.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a few days ago I took horseback riding lessons
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: with Lindsay.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: She convinced me to.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Do it, and so sitting what, I hope there's video.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I think she did take video, so we have to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: move it over to you and then we throw it up.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And so I'm riding. I'm taking lessons and I'm riding
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: on a horse. And here's the problem with a lot
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of guys go through this. To get on the horse
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: is a bunch of steps because there's no way I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: can do it and swing my legs over. You just
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: can't do it. You have to know horses. So I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: did the steps up and I'm riding along. And here's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the problem for guys to ride on horses. If your
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: nards are not in the right place as you ride,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it gets real uncomfortable because well, anyways, what I'm screaming,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and I said, Okay, we're gonna do it again, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I am going to ductate my balls to my upper
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: thigh because we're not going to be doing that one again.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, that happened with them being in your wife's purse.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Well said, okay.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And the other thing I know you talked about was
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: my colonoscopy yesterday, and it was it's the prep. Everybody
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: says that the actual colonosopy is no big deal. We
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: do have photos of it because they hand you these
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: photos afterwards, and we're going to do something with those photos.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: A few years ago, many years ago, what we did
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we used to do events and we would have theme
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: T shirts and one year we had my colonoscopy pictures
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on the T shirts. So we're going to do the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: same thing. And we don't and we haven't yet figured out.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And Neil does this. Is it going to be on
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a mug? Is it going to be holiday cards that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I hand out?
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Sniffs?
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do the mug because you think about like you're
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: taking a sip and that's what.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the whole point is very strong. Yeah, that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that's the point.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I want to put them on air fresheners for your car.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: You can hang them from you know what.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's not you know what that's not. That's not bad either,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you know. So, anyway we're gonna do we're gonna do
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: something with that. The problem is when you think about
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: how disgusting it is, it is not because there's nothing
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: there and you and you do have to pass gas
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: or which is a ridiculous term for farting uh and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: because you you're full of uh CO two, they they
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: pump CO two into the intestines to open them up,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to stretch them out. So the uh the the kolonos
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: calling the scope, Yeah exactly, it has plenty of room
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to move around and uh. Then they give you the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: pictures and I was fine, and it was good.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Now here's yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were two little tiny polluts that were no
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: big tiny little lens. Yeah, very common, and so they're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: uh so they triple book At Kaiser, I was in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: for three at twelve thirty. There were three people ahead
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of me, so I had to wait almost an hour.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And the doctor comes around before all of them, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: he gives me the the spiel. You know, here's a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there's a consent form, this is what might happen. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I said, so am I number three? Goes yeah, you're
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: number three. I How long am I going to wait?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: He goes about an hour And I said to the doctor,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: there's two hundred.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Bucks in it for you if you move me to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the front, and I waive a couple hundred bills.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Well, he didn't take.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: He didn't take. The bastard didn't take it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: So I about twenty minutes off. If they don't wash
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: the camera in between.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I think they used different scopes or different different heads
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: on the scope, so to speak. So anyway, we have
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the picture, and it was fine, and it was I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: was knocked out this twy year they give you Twilight Sleep.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to hear from Twilight Sleep. I wanted
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to be knocked out, and so I went ahead and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: had myself knocked out with prop the fol and it
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: was wonderful.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: That part of it was great.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And then as soon as and you have to fast
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the day before, so we stopped off at the first
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: fast food place so it could find. It was a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Burger King, and I ordered fried everything, deep fried everything.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Sure Colon loved that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is, I'm back fairly back to normal. Okay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: enough Colon talk, enough enough talk about testicles? Really about yeah?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: No?
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Can I say one thing?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Of course?
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Okay, So I am so glad that you went and
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: did this bill because color rectal cancer is now the
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: leading cause of cancer related yess in the US for
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: people under fifty. And they're saying that people are getting
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: it younger, so that you're doing it is going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: help encourage other people to go get this done. Saved
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: your life.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: It is a lifesaver, and it's and catching it early
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: is you're like ninety eight percent, you know, survival rate?
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, just nothing.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And I asked the doctor and I said, how is
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it then that young people since, for example, I'm seventy four,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And he said, we're not even going to use your
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: ten year because you're eight.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: You'll be eighty four.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And even if you have colon cancer, it's so slow
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: moving that you'll die of something else. So this was
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it for me, which is a shame because I enjoyed
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it so much. And I asked him do you think
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And I said, then, how come people die so young?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Pharah Fawcet died I think in her fifties, and other
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: people die Katie Kurrk, her husband died in his I
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: think forties, Chadwick Bozeman, Yeah, And I asked the doctor,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: how is it that young people are dying of this
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: if it's one of the slowest moving cancer. He said
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that young people who who do get colon cancer, that
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: colon cancer young is incredibly aggressive and it moves at
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: a hugely quick rate, where if you catch it at
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: an older rate, it what it does is move forward
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: very very closely, I mean very slowly.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: Wow, people aren't getting tested for it, which is why they're.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Not true and they're bringing and the colonoscopy is the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: gold standard of what's going on. Also, every year Kaiser,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: for example, every year now sends out a colorectal test
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: where you where you test basically you test your stool
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to see if there's blood in it or whatever. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a mess because you have to crap
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in the sink and you have to I mean it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just as really a disgusting Yeah, that's what they tell
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you to do.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You have to test it in the sink.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to bend over, you have to hump
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: over and get on the step stool and lean over
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you really.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I didn't have to do it in the city,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: so I didn't have to do it that way.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: No, wow, bastards. It's a little pan that you can
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: put in the toilet.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: No, actually, it's not that at all. It's very very simple.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Uh okay, Uh.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: But it's not as accurate as what you were going
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: to say, right.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Uh No, it just gives you a What it does
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: is it gives you you have a problem.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Let's find out what it is.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: But it also you said the colony is the gold standard. Oh,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: my doctor told me that too. He said there's too
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: many false positives and false negatives.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, but there's blood tests and there's a sigmoidoscopy, which
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: is a very only a small portion of your intestine.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And that's where the term a signal or it comes
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: from from.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: At no half hour, wait in your colon.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into the news, because we spent segment
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: talking about every important stuff but not particularly part of
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the news. Now it's the news. Let's do it. It's time
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: for handle on the news. Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: The US severs it's ties with the WHO, which happens
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: to be a great band by the way, the WHO
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: World Health Organization amid the flu epidemics, because it makes
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: no sense. The US is now going to be completely isolationist.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: This is very strange because the President has said we
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: want to be only concerned with the United States, which
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: we've had that movement before America firsters. And at the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: same time he is getting involved in foreign affairs, even
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: his own. Even MAGA followers are going, wait a minute,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: this doesn't make much sense. You're doing exactly the opposite.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So we're out of WHO. And then later on I'm
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: going to do the story later on about WHO at
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: seven twenty. But it's I got to tell you, it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: says a lot about where this country is going.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I was talking to.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: My best friend yesterday or one of my best friends,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Neil being the other one, and that is, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: we're just getting Trump fatigue. Yesterday at Davos, I mean,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it was one thing and then five hours later it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: was something else. And on the Air Force one it
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was something else in terms of what's going on internationally,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and it's just it's become crazy. And this one is
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: another crazy one.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Tell you why.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: You know, it's still one of the worst flu seasons
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: we've ever had. I mean, it's really bad, and if
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: not one of the worst, it's pretty bad. And the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: World Health Organization is the organization that determines what strain
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of flu. You know, what the vaccine is about it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: not we're not part of it anymore. Now, it's not
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: just we're leaving the health issues. The way it's being done,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to be done privately, is going to be
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: done the way a term of isolationism if.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: You were.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: A special grilling for a former Special Council. Special Council
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Jack Smith testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: US House of Representatives, first time publicly speaking about it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: He got praise from Democrats obviously, and barbes from Republicans.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: The President even weighed in while it was going on,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: of course, on social media, he called for Smith to
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: face criminal charges. Smith told the committee his investigations were nonpartisan,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and he said that there were indeed grounds to bring
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: two federal indictments against President Trump.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, there will be indictments because this is the Department
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of Justice, and in front of grand juries, because you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: can push anything through a grand jury. For the most part,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: there will be no prosecution. If there is a prosecution,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to be embarrassment to the administration. And it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: bottom line, it's real easy. You say you're doing anything
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: about the administration or Donald Trump, you are on the radar.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You're done. Every time. For example, if Trump wants to
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: push a bill.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And Republicans, the few Republicans that vote against the administration's position,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: he immediately says they're out of office, they are traders.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: And I am going to I'm going to primary them out,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and the rest of the Republicans just sit there and
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: allow it. They just allow it. I mean, it drives
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: me completely crazy. I've said this before.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: If the President Trump wanted and made a move and
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: convinced Republican legislator, which I'm sure one will do, this,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: introduces a bill to dissolve Congress and give the president
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: all the power that Congress used to have. Do you
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: think there would be several, if not a reasonable minority
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that would vote to dissolve Congress. I believe that Amy
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: is shaking their head. How about the guy who wants
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to put his head on Mount Rushmore?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: What do you think about that?
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: That was Pauline and Luna?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean there are some crazy people.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but she's still not going to vote herself out
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: of Congress.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: No, No, she wouldn't. It would s be primaried out
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: if she wanted to, and she would. I think she
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: would vote herself out of Congress because I think they're
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: all lemmings.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Well, Luna is short for lunatics.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, but you know, and I may be exaggerating here.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Really I'm a little hyperbolic, but it's really crazy. If
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you vote against him in the Senate, in the House,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: against any position, You're done.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: You're done.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to primary you out and make sure you
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: lose the next election.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: You may be hyperbolic, but I don't know that we've
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: ever seen it to this degree?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Everyone?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: No?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Is there a limit? I think there is, But right now,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: theres been this kind of Yeah, there a step.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: There have been some court cases in the lower courts
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and the appeals court that have shut down a lot
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of what the President has done, especially in the world
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of immigration enforcement. Uh but yeah, having Queen of Heart vibes, yeah,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, and I promise myself every day
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about Trump and I and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I And you can't do a talk show without talking
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: about Trump anymore, you can't.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Well, we pretty much did yesterday.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you? All right, So it was it was
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: colon Osby talk yesterday. I get that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Not a handle on the news though, Oh okay, here's
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: a story Handles getting a colon Oskby and here's a
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: story what was it like?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Speaking of Bill's colon, another huge tunnel is in the works,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: the Supulvida Transit Corridor project. It's going to connect the
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: west side to the San Fernando Valley less than twenty minutes.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: You're going to bypass the four or five freeway and
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be a thing of beauty, I would imagine,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: But don't know where the money's coming from. Yeah, five
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: billion dollar metro plan is considered one of the most
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: significant transit projects in the country, So we don't have
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: a timeline.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to go, as you said, van Issa
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Sherman Oaks. There was supposed to be a station at
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the Getty Center, and they realize very quickly that the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: only people going to go are those that are going to.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: The museum, and they're not enough of them.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So it's going to go all the way down to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the west side. Does anybody go to the west side?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: People in the valley do not go to the west
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: side except to work and all the point I guess,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: and all the really great restaurants are on the west side.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: In Beverly Hills.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: We don't have many first class Michelin kind of restaurants.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: In the valley very much.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, we have but great cultural restaurants and.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: There are there's an olive garden, very cultural Italian restaurant down.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Loved me some olive garden. How dare you so?
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Do I actually unlimited breadsticks and salad?
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, Well, the troops are stay input for now. Vice
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: President Vance was in Minnesota yesterday. He said the Trump
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: administration has no immediate plans to invoke the Insurrection Act,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: which would allow it to deploy troops in Minneapolis. He
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: also said during his appearance that he the administration's trying
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: to turn down the temperature after weeks of confrontations with protesters.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: Vance said the reason why things have gotten so out
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: of hand is because of a failure of cooperation. But
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: he says he's optimistic local officials would start being more
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: cooperative in the days ahead.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Didn't well, probably not.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: It's a war that Minneapolis is having with administrator, or
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: at least with Ice, and it's someone's got to give,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: and it's not going to be Minneapolis. You cannot fight
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: against thousands of army folks that are coming In.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no troops, just carpet bombing of Messiapolis.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Helicopter gunships.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I've always thought, you know, that is a cheap way
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to enforce the border, just the helicopter gunships just flying
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: across the border, and God help anybody that tries to cross.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: All right, Zelenski, he's going to Europe and he is
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: not mincing words. Ukrainian president is He gave a blistering
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: speech at Europe directly during the World Economic Forum yesterday,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: but he met with President Donald Trump. Both leaders described
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: the meeting as good framework documents between the two countries,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: hopes of ending this conflict that's nearly four years old
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: and it's been a full gayl war. And he was
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: saying that the president Zelensky says that it's like the
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: movie groundhog Day. It's just every day, another barrage, every oh.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: While Putin is talking yes, I'm willing to sit down
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and talk peace. The attacks on Kiev and the land
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: on all of uh, all of Ukraine is just it
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: just doesn't stop. And Putin saying I want peace, I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: want peace. It's just a bunch of crap. But he
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: wants territory. There will be no peace unless he gets
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the don boss in the entire eastern part of Ukraine.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And the President is actually leaning towards Putin, but at
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the same time is sending the arms to Ukraine that
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: hasn't stopped. So and the President says without his involvement,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: there will be no peace.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: And I believe that, ye think. Pointing at Europe, he
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: said Europe love, Yeah, Europe. Well, Europe is sending, but
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: they're not sending enough. He is not asking for boots
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: on the ground at all.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: What he needs is equipment, and Russia has virtually unlimited equipment.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: But they've already had a million casualties on the Russian side.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is a hit on Russia.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Remember Kee was supposed to.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Be taken in three days. It was all supposed to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: end in three days. Here we are four years later.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: What's the largest loss of life in any war? It
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: would be probably World War while Civil War. As far
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: as the Americans are concerned, in terms of sheer numbers,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: World War two. Anywhere between fifty and seventy million people
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: died during World War Two, that includes civilians and certainly
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: American troops. I think we're at two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Relatively small Europe were hugely more. And so many civilians died,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I mean just fifty.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: To eighty five million fatalities.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: And World War two. In World War two, yep, right on.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: And you you said civilians, most of them were civilians.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Well you had what two hundred and fifty thousand dropping
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the bomb.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because you had probably one hundred thousand in Hiroshima.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: You also had another eighty thousand in Nagasaki.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Then you had a million or sea.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Then you had then you had the carpet bombing of Dresden,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: which was basically just a civilian city with no military value.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: That was Churchill's big deal as Dresden, and it was
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: they wiped out the town. Japan, carpet bombed whole areas
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of Japan. Yeah, and that's just the Americans, by the way.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: And then we're talking about what the Nazis did, as
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you can imagine, they wiped out well, they took out
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: six million Jews, of which all were civilians. Those just
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: those numbers. It was crazy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Before we yet to finishing up by handling the news, Neil.
• 24:04

  Speaker 5: Life Festival is back this year at Redondo Beach, May

  Speaker 5: talking to you, Handle Chromeo, Jon Jet and more. Head
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: to Beachlive Festival dot com for tickets and info. KFI
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: AM six forty. The official audio partner for Beach Live
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Festival is Duran.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Duran is the lead singer Twins. No.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on more, Handle on the news. Let's finish
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: it up with Amy and Neil and me.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Some Dems broke ranks. A small group of moderate House
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Democrats joined Republicans to pass a bill to fund the
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Department of Homeland Security, where there's a lot of curt
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: controversy because of ICE funding. That overcame a revolt by
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: most Democrats furious about ICE's aggressive operations in Minneapolis and
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: other cities. So seven Democrats joined the Republicans. The House
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: also voted in favor of a package of bills to
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: fund other federal agencies in a broad bipartisan vote to
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: try to avert a partial government shutdown, which would arrive
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: January thirty first if they don't pass it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: All right, so the House, we're still going to have
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: a shutdown at the end of the month. Yeah, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: think so. However, and the reason we're gonna have a
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: shutdown because it's only going to be partial because the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: both sides of it agreed on certain programs and certain
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: agencies staying around. So I think so that's my call
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: on it. But what can I tell you? What do
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I know? Very little?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, TikTok is going to keep talking. They said that
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: they completed a deal to spin off its US operations.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: This is going to conclude all that hubbub that's been
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: going back for years, that battle over the access to
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: this wildly popular video app that you young folks were
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: freaking out that it might go away. Millions of Americans
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: are using this, by the way, so they'll operate under
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: defined safeguards in this new US joint venture, because the
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: concern was the Chinese company access to a lot of
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: American information. But meanwhile, Chinese companies are buying up all
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: of Los Angeles. But we've got TikTok.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Debunking debanking.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: President Trump pursued JP Morgan Chase and its longtime CEO,
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Jamie Diamond. He accuses the company debanked him by closing
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: his accounts in twenty twenty one and putting him on
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: a blacklist. The President is seeking at least five billion
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: dollars in damages from Chase.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and by the way, a lot of people
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: are shut out of banking, and they're saying, we don't
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: like what this president has done, and we're just not
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: letting him bank with us anymore.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Happens all the time.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: It's a private institution, and it is well, it's a
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: non governmental institution and it has the right to do that.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And he only wants five billion dollars on this one.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, Kelly.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Senator Mark Kelly, that is a Democrat from Arizona. If
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: you remember, he had said some things in a video
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: that ticked off Trump, and Trump attacked Kelly five other
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Democratic lawmakers who participated in the video, even when as
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: far as to say that they committed sedition, suggested they
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: should be sentenced to death.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Off with their heads.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: But now you've got Senator Mark Kelly.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: He's seriously and I think he's I think he's gonna
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: be a player too. He's got national recognition. He is
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: a moderate Democrat. He is exactly the opposite of of
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, especially in the hair department. And it's I
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: think that he does not have the same baggage that
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Newsom has.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: He I mean, look at his credentials.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: He's a pilot, yeah, the combat fighter pilot, astronaut, married
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: a kaffee to Gabby Gifford who got shot in the head,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and he's still with her.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And it's just I have to tell you.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I see, if my wife was shot in the head,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I'd be out of there so quick your head would spin.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I'd be out of there before the ambulance hit, the
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: hit the hospital go by.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: It's been a pleasure.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: If you got shot in d you probably wouldn't notice
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: for a while.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Well said, okay, I think we are done.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Other than the story it's connected to, well, it's not
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: actually connected. My colon osby day yesterday, of which the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: pictures are up on.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: My Instagram at bill handle show Amy Well.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Colon cancer is a superkiller we talked about a little
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: bit earlier. Colo recto cancer now the leading cause of
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: cancer related death for people under fifty. And again it's
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: super preventable. If you catch it when it's early, it
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: doesn't turn into cancer. Didn't happen with me, so I
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: got to have almost a foot of my large intestine
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: taken out. So go get your colonoscopy. It'll save your life.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: So simple. It is that simple, and there are lots
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: of fun. I have to tell you. There is nothing
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: like a five foot tube going up your rear end.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: You don't know about it there, it's not there.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: They're nothing. I didn't even mind the prep work. It
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: really wasn't a big deal at all. The prep was disgusting. Okay,
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: well we're done.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Did you do? Mine wasn't so bad? I mean it's
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: not pleasant, but it's not so bad.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I did the ironically name go lightly, that's the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: best one.
• 30:34
