  Speaker 2: Oh before we jump into the show, I want to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: give you guys an update of what's going on.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: If you remember, you remember, I.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Think Michelle sent out the email to all of us
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that the auction items came in mainly as expected, I mean,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: great numbers. The Ballgame with Gary and Shannon I think
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: came in at four thousand dollars. Dean and T and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: his wife The Ballgame came in at thirty one hundred.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: John Colebilt an hour of an hour co hosting his
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: show came in at I think was it thirty seven
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars or forty that it was forty seven hundred dollars.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Pretty impressive, and that's basically in line with what they do.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And these are wonderful numbers too. What I just feel
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: like there's a light that you're about to shine on yourself.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Oh God, yes, okay, Oh and it's you too, okay.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, now, this one.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: As much as I like to talk about myself and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: think how impressed I am with myself, this is a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So our bid came in at eleven thousand dollars, which
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: is pretty good. But it was, to be fair, it's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in a new event that has never happened before. It
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was Neil, and it was me involved, and I was involved,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and it was a barbecue at my house, so it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: was very different. So, you know, eleven thousand dollars does
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not seem insane to me, I mean, it seemed reasonable.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Then a few minutes after the the polls closed, after
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the auction closed, Michelle got a phone call from someone.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I think I shared this yesterday, but the story keeps
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on going that if that person could be invited to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: join our barbecue, a donation of twenty thousand dollars would
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: come in.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: So now that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Makes it eleven thousand and twenty thousand, thirty one thousand dollars.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Then Michelle reached out to the second bidder, number two,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: who had bid ten thousand and change, pretty close to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the eleven thousand, and said, would you be interestedd Well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: that person matched the first bidder at eleven thousand dollars.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: So we raised for our auction item forty two thousand dollars, which, frankly,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, is pretty impressive. Even I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: impressed with that, and I'm very impressed with very in reality,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: not very impressed with us, especially you guys.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: But you know me neither.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So anyway, forty two thousand dollars, and of course I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: was whipsaw into inviting the Morning Crew to join us
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: whenever we are going to do this So it'll be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: some Saturday, probably March, in which Neil will broadcast with
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: me a Fork Report show at my house and we're
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: gonna have chefs and pitmasters there, and Anaheim White House
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is catering this thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be really cool.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And there'll be six guesting on dates and stuff, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: yeah we are, and there'll be six guests, six guests
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of honor, with the number one guest of honor the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: winner of or the highest bidder during the auction.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: But it's gonna be.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: You're gonna be just slightly less guest of honoring too.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they'll be.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: There'll be a slight guest of honorish sort of view
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of this.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: I'll be running a slave handle with a stopwatch, so
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: like when he greets someone or shakes their hands, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: will always have him stop just a little bit under
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: what he did to the person who got the first bit.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm very proud of us. I'm very proud of us,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and very thankful to the people that bit as much
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: as they did.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Oh you're not.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: You're whipping it out to measure it against everybody else.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And uh, it doesn't mean I'm wastec It doesn't mean
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not proud of us. Of course I'm whipping it out.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Of course I am.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I you know, I think of the forty two thousand
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: kids that will get a meal.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Oh that's incidental to me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And I told Michelle, and just to show you how
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gracious I am, I told Michelle to make sure she
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: crams it down everybody's throat around the station that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: We raised forty two thousand dollars. Yep.
• 5:36

  Speaker 2: of kids are going to eat because of that. All right,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: moving on, handle on the news with Amy Neil and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: me Lee story month well and arrest may A big
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: deal is made of this, and I think it should
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: be a big deal there.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Arrest was made in the five year old case.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It was a pipe bomb or several pipe bombs that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: were placed around Washington police stations the night of January
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: sixth or January fifth, before the January sixth overrunning of
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the Capitol. And they finally got the guy, or they
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: think they got the guy. And it wasn't the tip
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: which usually happened. It was in a solid piece of evidence.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: It was five.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Years of just combing through evidence over and over again.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: It was just really good police work, is what did it? So?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And that's what video People assume videos it's a shoe in,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: but there's a lot of work there.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but look at video.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Look at video it is you can't see a face,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and they did it. It was reported based on the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: gate of the person. And I don't know if you
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: know Glenn Beck with Glenn Beck is a conservative, very
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: conservative talk show host, radio and television. Anyway, he reported
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: or the Blaze. His organization reported that there it was
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a woman because of the gate and named the woman
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, and it turned out not to be.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So she issuing their ass off because she got death
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: threats and all kinds of things, and it was interesting stuff.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: So anyway, the good news is that it looks like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: they got the guy.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I wonder why didn't they find him sooner than this?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I think I don't know the answer to that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And they're saying, finally, going over and over and over
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: again the evidence they were able to track him down
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: because if you look at the video you can't.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: See who it is.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: No, but now they're saying they have like records of
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: when he bought like the batteries and the pieces of pipe,
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, nothing's private if they can go back
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: and find him actually buying all those things by here
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: to have.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You know, he bought a trailhead to be able to Yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: who I mean, I have gone to Low's yesterday. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: went to Low's and I bought like a butane lighter
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: thing that could easily be used to buttane light. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that's going to be for our barbecue as a matter
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of fact, to light the coals for the big green
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: egg to make them light up quicker, so it really
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: zooms up. You know. They have that buttane lighter thing,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like the blow towards thing. So yeah, I could have
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: been tagged, sure, but I wasn't. Someone else was.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: You know what, it's a lot of police work for
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: this person just to get pardoned by Trump.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: What are you going to do? Good point?
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, I don't think this person's getting pardoned.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: New new that the cash Bettel was saying they were
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: like spearheading this investigation.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, this vers is going down big time, assuming
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that the jury convicts.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: A challenge on Texas redistricting is toast get it, Texas toast?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: The Supreme Court ruled that Texas and its Republican leaders
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: can go ahead and use the new election map in
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty sixth with the new congressional districts that's expected
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: to send five more Republicans to Congress. And of course,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: the response to that was the California is doing redistricting
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: of its own because of Texas. The Justice is set
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: aside a lower court ruling that said the state's new
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: maps were a racial jerry mander, and the Court said
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: the impetus for the adoption of the Texas Map was
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: partisan advantage, pure and simple. That was from Justice Samuel Alito,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: and he said, that's been going on for.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Years and that is perfectly constitutional. Legislatures can do things
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: like redistrict based on politics. And the Court said, yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: this is all politics. A couple of reasons that happened.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: First of all, the argument among those detractors are saying
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that it is illegal because it was racially motivated.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: The Court said, we don't think so. This is all
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: partisan politics.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And the argument is also that the court and this
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: is what the way the courts work. Great deference is
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: given to legislators. The presumption is always given to legislatures,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and that's what happened here. So now it's going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: be legislatures all over the country doing you exactly this
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: redistricting their brains out, and if you look at real numbers,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the Republicans have somewhat an advantage. Except the midterms, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Republicans are going to have a hard time overcoming this
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: affordability business big time.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: All right, But we do one more and then we'll
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: take a break. All right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: You know, the Department of Justice should have just called
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: handle on the law because they would have gotten the
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: same response. You have no case. A federal judge has
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: thrown out criminal charges against two of President Donald Trump's adversaries,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: former cases FBI Director James Comy and New York Attorney
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: General Letitia James. The prosecution, a federal prosecution team, just
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: failed simply to convince the majority of the grand jurors
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to charges.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: That grand jury, though just handed called this one too. Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it handed down a no bill. Now.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Originally the reason her case and the case of Comy
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: it was dismissed is because the court ruled that the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that the attorney general or the US attorney in Virginia
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: was not qualified or it was illegal. She was named
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: illegally or kept on going illegally, and that was a
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: technical rule one hundred and twenty days. And the court
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and the jurist and the government kept on putting it
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: off and tried to get well, anyway, it doesn't matter.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: It's a long discussion on that one.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: What happened here is they okay, it was dismissed, so
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: they refiled it in front of the grand jury. They
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to get another indictment and the grand jury said no,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: there isn't enough evidence. That's a no bill, is what
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it's called. And that is so rare because grand juries
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: indict everybody and everything, and a no bill almost never
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: ever happens.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Now, are they going to do it again? They can.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: They can attempt to indict and reindicte and reindite and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: reindite until the grand jury, until the grand jury disbands.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's eighteen months for a grand jury to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: meet and then Iderrhea. Yeah, they could. Now are they
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: going to I don't think so. I think the politics
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of this, the optics are so insane. If they tried again,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think they had a very hard time because the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: grand jury already said no, and so we'll try again.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine the politics?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: US strikes again.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: The US militaries carried out strike on a suspected drug
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: boat in the Eastern Pacific. Four people on board were
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: apparently killed. The Southern Spear says that intelligence confirmed the
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: boat was carrying narcotics and transitting along a known narco
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: traffic route in the Eastern Pacific. There is also along
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: with the post on social media, was a twenty second
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: twenty one second long video showing the boat being hit.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a whole legal issue about that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Whether or not the president has a jurisdiction to do
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that and to call the DARCO trafficantes, well they already
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: called him a terrorist group. And whether he ordered this
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: or Pete Hetzig can order this, what I find fascinating
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: is the issue, and we're going to bring it up today.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: About those two survivors that were attacked. We've been talking
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: about that a boat was blown up and two guys survived,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and then Congress or the leadership.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Was given the ability to see the videotape.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The argument was that they were clinging to debris and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: they were killed. One of the Republican senators said it
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: looked like they were trying to turn the boat over
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and to now fight the aircraft coming in the jets.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: The Democrats said, what are you talking about turning the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: boat over? Fascinating in that it's not a discussion as
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to Republican conservative liberal, it's looking at A and two
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and looking at two entirely different videos. This is what
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I saw, No you didn't, this is what happened. Wait
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: a minute, at least agree on what happened and then
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: decide the policy afterwards. It's just crazy.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Place in this country. We got people celebrate the fact
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: that an Italian man American killed in cold blood somebody
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: that was a CEO of an insurance company and he's
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: a hero. But you can't take a second shot at
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: a couple of skun bags that are bringing drugs into
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the country.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: The argument is where I just.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Think it's you keep talking about the legality of it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about we the people talking about it, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh, yeah killed Charlie.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Think yeah, I think a lot of it doesn't have
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to really do with the issue of gross it is.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But the the big issue on that one is were
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: they clinging to debris?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: And do you kill people?
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: No matter what Jack and rose Man, it's not, you know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: the Titanic going, does it's to market?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I mean everybody makes it like I understand, all right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: vote Aisle.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Let's move on so we can spend we can spend hours,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: we can spend hours on that one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, all right?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: So, UH, the Advisory Committee for the Union unitization something
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: like that practices UH been scheduled to weigh in on
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: whether to change recommendations regarding hepatitis B vaccination. Now this
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: has to do not just with all of us, this
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: has to do with newborns in the US. So the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: vote is now set to take place today on the
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: session today. It had already been pushed back I guess
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: by the advisors in the September meeting, But during yesterday's meeting,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: advisors stumbled over repetitive language and lack of clarity about
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: what they're voting on, so they delay the crucial vote
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: in a tense meeting yet again.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: It seems, Yeah, this is what a scumbag Robert Kennedy Jr.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Is.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: He fired everybody on the advisory committee and put in
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: his own people who a couple of them. And by
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the way, number two at the CDC is a straight
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: vaccine skeptics straight across. And the argument now is hepatitis
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: B vaccines at birth and there's three or four shots
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: is considered by mainstream science to be insanely effective, like.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Ninety nine something percent.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But because it's a vaccine, and because vaccines cost autism.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: We have to relook at everything.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: We have to study all the vaccines, and it doesn't
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: matter if they've been tested and studied for fifty years,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: we have to look at it. And they brought in
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: his witnesses crackpots, straight out crackpots.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you who. Probably he is not very happy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Bill Cassidy, who is the center that gave the vote
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to have Kennedy confirmed, and Kennedy was There's Cassidy was
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and is a fervent advocate of vaccines. Matter of fact,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: he was the spokesperson for several pro vaccines organizations and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: he voted to confirm. And he is now seeing what
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he has wrought. And I'm sure he's kicking himself in
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the ass saying what.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Did you do?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Oh? And by the way, Robert Kennedy lied and said,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: oh no, no, I'm not going to touch vaccines though
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I believe in science.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Of course, that didn't happen, all right. Moving on a.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Lot of hate.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Hate crimes in La County are still at near record
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: high levels for twenty twenty four. The numbers were just
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: released yesterday from the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: It said there were thirteen hundred and fifty five reported
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: hate crimes in the county in twenty twenty four. It's
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: actually a one percent decrease from the year before, but
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: still really high. Anti Black hate crimes accounted for the
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: majority of incidents, and hate crimes against the Middle Eastern
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: community increased sevenfold.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: That was the largest rise in any Yeah, what a shocker.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do more of that at seven point
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: fifty when we dive into trying to explain why and
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: who and it's a sign of the times, as Neil
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: points out, it's just a sign of the times.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: It's crazy times.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: This is the bizierro where if you've ever read Superman comics,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the bizarro world, that's what we're in.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, the gondola gets green lighted, but it didn't.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: It didn't go quietly. We'll just say that.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Lots of community members, hundreds of impacked a meeting room
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Thursday to have their say to the Metro Board of
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Directors whether they are in favor of or opposed to
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: the gondola project that's supposed to go from Union Station
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: up to Dodger Stadium. And the board chairman said, hey,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: we're not going to listen to community members before we vote. Well,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: that didn't sit well, and the place erupted and there
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: were chants of let us speak from anti gondola people
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: and other chance of you already spoke from pro gondola forces.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: So the directors leave the room to go figure out.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: What to do.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: And then all those people are sitting in the meeting room,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: chants are ebbing and flowing from both sides. The anti
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: gondola forces passed around a bullhorn. The pro gondola forces
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: danced around the room.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: It was going to happen either.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: They said they were going to vote and favor it beforehand,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: so this was just this was just entertainment, which they did.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: But they allowed them then to speak before.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: They were an hour yelling, everybody yelling for an hour.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I love that they were dancing around the room.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Well to see how they lay their bodies over in
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: front of a gondola when it's built. All right, Netflix, man,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: we are living in a real world monopoly game. Netflix
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: has prevailed for its bid to buy a lot of
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Warner Brothers Discovery. They agree to pay seventy two billion
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: with a B for you know, just right down the
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: street in Burbank. Best Warner Brothers film their television studios HBO,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Max and HBO. So big, big deal going in big
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: this morning. And that gives Netflix. You know, Harry Potter.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: That gives them Batman, that gives them Fred and Flintstone.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: It gives them everything. Aversely, we're going to talk more
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: about that at seven o'clock. By the way, well said
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: when you open the segment with it's like a monopoly game.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Isn't it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It just is like no, very well said and everything.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: It was a good intro.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Well, it's not raining men in Latvia.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: There's a nationwide shortage of men in the European country,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: which has increasingly forced women to hire husbands for an
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: hour to help with help around the house. According to
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: a recent report by Eurostat, Latvia has fifteen and a
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: half percent more women than men. That's three times the
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: average rate in the europe In Union and over the
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: age of sixty five, there are twice as many women
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: as men.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're I don't know, if you've ever seen
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a lot for young women, you know what they look like, careful,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they're very they're very they're very healthy. You know, horse
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: get stuck in mud. Women pull out without trailer or
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: without tractor. They're actually some of them are just knockouts. Yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just you know, I just wanted to make a
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: bad joke. Okay, I see, am I allowed?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Would they be?
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Well, why would they need a man?
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's my whole point. And this doesn't make sense,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually that you want men to do household
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: chores and.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: You hire them.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: It's it's almost like a housekeeper, but it's you gets
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you advertise and uh, you know it's weird starting any men?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Can you get that thing from the top and then
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you open this jar?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? All right.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: So US Immigration and custom and for Enforcement continues its crackdowns.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: We're still seeing the videos everything like that. Of course,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: their focuses on undocumented immigrants, supposedly, and the superintendent for
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles Unified says that it's having an impact on
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the school district.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Well, of course it is. Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: But the thing that I find funny here is that
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: when people complained about illegal aliens being in the school
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: system and causing effect on grades and the waste scrubb runs,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: everyone said, no, it doesn't have any effect. But now
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: that they're not there, it's like, well, it's having an
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: effect in an adverse ways.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Of course it has to. And by the way, we're
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: not talking about anything. It's morally wrong.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Here, the Supreme Court ruled in a Texas case US
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court that education must be given to every student
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: in the country up through high school and cannot be
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: asked The student cannot be asked about immigration status, which
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: means that LA Unified, which has an enormous number of Latinos,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: you have to automatically assume that a decent proportion are
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: in fact illegal. Much like if you look at the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: university in the Latvian population of Los Angeles versus the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Hispanic population, You're going to see a pretty good percentage
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of undocumented people who are in LA.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: And that translates.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: That that translates to the schools too, and they're frightened.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Those kids are frightened, the parents are frightened. I get that,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: and all of that is horrific to me. In the
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: way these raids are being played out is horrific. In
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: many cases. You can't help but look at states that
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: have large amounts of illegal immigration having poor school testing
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: and poor grades.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you can, because English is the second language.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, and I'm going to go now, I'm
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: going to get in trouble for saying this. Okay, you
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: have kids of parents who are illegal who come across
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: into the United States. These are not people who have
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: marketable skills. The They are not people who cross over
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: the border who have high educations. And so you've got
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: kids that come from a lower socioonomic level than others.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And it's just going to be you look at problem
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: after problem after problem, and that's the case here, and
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: of course you're going to have decreasing You add all
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: of that together, and you have decreasing numbers at LA Unified,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: which I think is I think there are more Hispanics
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: in LA Unified than certainly Caucasians. I'd like to know
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: those figures and if you can figure out the percentage
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: of students at LA Unified who are Hispanic.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And she is not paying attention to me at all.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, We're going to come back and I'll look at
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: at myself.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I'll ask SII real quickly.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Just before the break, we were talking about LA Unified
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: school district and how enrollment has dropped dramatically in basically
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: in fear of ice coming in and picking up students,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and I think as a legitimate fear, not that they
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: have yet gone into the school and pick up kids.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: As far as I know, but the general fear. And
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: then I said, how what is the percentage of Hispanic
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: students in LA Unified? Neil came up with the figure
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: seventy three percent, And how many are estimated to be undocumented?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Illegal?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And all they can do is estimate because they can't ask.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Twenty five percent of the entire school district is estimated
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to be illegal. Hey, you wonder why they're frightened. You
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: wonder why their parents are saying, uh, you're not going
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to school to some extent, which is why enrollment is dropping.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: All right, moving on, let's do an Olympic story.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Big bucks come into LA courtesy of the twenty twenty
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: eight Summer Games. A new economic report says LA's Olympic
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: and Paralympic Games are expected to generate between thirteen and
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: seventeen billion dollars for the region between now and twenty
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: twenty nine. The report sites a fiscally responsible, low liability
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: games within more than seven billion dollars, privately funded budget,
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: and a reliance on existing facilities, so we're not having
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: to spend as much because we already have stadiums and stuff.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: All right, this wee'm staring off into space.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: This one's a doozy hold up. So President Donald Trump,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: his famous name that has been on the side of
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: many buildings before, has now been installed on a building
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: and it's signage. But the unique thing is this particular
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: building is an independent agency that his administration got it
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: essentially earlier this year. So it's the US Institute of Peace,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: the USIP, and it it says welcome to the Donald J.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Trump Institute of Peace. The best is yet to come.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: It's just it's so insane that it just defies credulity.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: The FIFER World I think the lottery for the World
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Cup attendance is coming out today and billions of people
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: are going to the lottery. The head of FIFA, Huge
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Trump ally and advocate, pushed like crazy to have Trump
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: win the Nobel Peace Prize.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Trump didn't get it.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: FIFA has just created the FIFA World Peace Prize, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the odds makers in Las Vegas are putting the odds
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of President Trump Trump winning the FIFA winning the FIFA
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: World Peace Prize at just under ninety nine percent.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Love that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: The State Department posted on x Wednesday. It said it
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: announced that it had renamed the institute quote to reflect
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: the greatest deal maker in our nation on sectary.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: And you watch now you are going to see science
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: books we written for kids will no longer be the
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Solar system. It will be the Trump system. It's going
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: to really just explode. I mean, you know, this is
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: fun stuff. I mean, this does not affect prices, does
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: not affect going to the supermarket and where some really
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: serious stuff is going on. This is just entertaining. I mean,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I just want I just want to know how far
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: this goes? Okay, moving on, better.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Than a baseball card, maybe not, but getting there. A
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: game stop customer is cashed in after trading a Pokemon
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: card in for over thirty thousand dollars.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Apparently a customer in Grapevine.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Texas sold the gaming retailer a fully authenticated PSA Grade
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: ten hollow Ganger card with a fair market valuation of
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: almost thirty four thousand dollars, but they sold it for
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: thirty four hundred and ninety four.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a question about that. Isn't this an
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: artificial price on these things?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I would guess that Kono, who's a Pokemon fan, I
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: have no idea if you are. But a company like
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Pokemon releases a very limited number of cards, and therefore
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: they're worth a bucket of money, and they control it,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: and they just control it, and so if they release six,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: it's worth a zillion bucks and it's their call. Unlike
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: as Amy pointed out, other baseball card, like a Honus
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Wagner card, and we're talking about the turn of the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: last century. Uh they I think that sold for three
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: million or two point eight million dollars because that was
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that was a legitimate, not manufactured process.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: It happened, you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Know, like a Babe Ruth baseball card, Bickey Mantle rookie card.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: It was as you know, it was just part of
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: the card stock.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: But it's worth nothing unless somebody is interested in collecting it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's anything. Yeah, but that's anything.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's the whole point that it's just the value
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: that people put on it. I mean, hey, the same
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: with gold. Yeah, right, look at this rock. It's hard
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: to find one. Give you a bunch of money for it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Well, let's well, five thousand years from now, maybe maybe
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: people will say that about Pokemon cards.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: All right, pokemona.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Things have been around for a while, have a little
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: bit more validity, but it's just been manufactured by the company.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: It's like the beers.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: You know, there are enough. You know how how.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Many diamonds there are out there? There are tons, and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the beers artificially creates a scarcity that makes diamonds that valuable.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: And if the beer, the beers were to release a
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: bunch more diamonds, would they control of they drop in price.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: So pardon nothing.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: The beers, that's those are those are the companies in
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Germany that make beers. They're the beers, the beers. Okay, anyway,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. Pokemon Pokemon, Pokemon Pokemon. All right,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: We're done, guys, So much for that. Warner bro Tho's
