• 3:14
  Speaker 2: obviously I got involved with Lindsay's family and they do
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the Christmas tree and the stocking stuffers. And what I found,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: what I tried a couple of years ago, is putting
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a Matza ball in those stockings. I don't, I don't.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I don't recommend that. I really moisture a lot of moisture.

• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I'd like to convert. I go, no, you don't. You
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: will not, And she goes, why not, because I've already
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: been married to a Jewish woman. I've done that once,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: so I'm not doing that again.
• 4:20

• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Jewish part.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I see you go around and and take thirty percent
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: of the stocking stuffers.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I do you're going to light I have two menors.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna light them?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course we have.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That's the Jewish part. Yeah, it is a Jewish part.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And then Michelle gave me a minora. You know, they
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: have the eight candles. And she gave me a model
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the little candle holders along
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the back of the Tyrannosaurus wreck. So we call it
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: our Minorasaurus rex and we put we put it up.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: A matter of fact, we reput it up again. That
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: put up the minora Saurus rex. That was Michelle Cube
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: who gave me that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I heard Trump got very excited when he heard about
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: lighting the minorities.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And then someone had to say, mister president.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That's very strong. By the way, Neil, that's that's that's good. No,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that's good, that's good.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Don't get offended. Cono. It didn't really go, but I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: thought it went. Of course, anything about Trump.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I was going to use John Coebelt, and then I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: thought Trump might you know I saw through it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It was my you're right.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, we got some great news. By the way,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I give Trump the credit when I think credit is due.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You know, for example, grabbing that oil tanker, I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it was one percent appropriate. And the other six that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: are out there, I think the US should grab those too,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that's going to be up for discussion
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: over the next few days. But first it's time for
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Handle on the News with Amy neil Me lead story.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We get out.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, so here's the Trump story not so good. Do
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you remember when President Trump ran for office the first
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: time out, he said that the Republicans have a health plan.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Within weeks, we're going to have it. We'll have it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: on the table. And then here we are, what fifteen
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: sixteen years later, no, twelve years later, and there is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: no health plan. Of course, the Democrats have a health plan,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and that's simply the extension of the subsidies of Obamacare.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: That's their health plan.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: We have a health plan, good bad, It may not
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: be wonderful, but we want to extend those subsidies. The
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Republicans are fighting at tooth and nail. That was the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: issue of the shutdown, by the way, those subsidies that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are fighting. So now the President says we
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: can work together on healthcare. Well, it can't work together
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: because the Republicans are dead set against those subsidies. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Democrats are dead set in favor of extending those subsidies.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And the problem is is that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Republicans talk about how horrible Obamacare is, how horrible, so
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and they say we're going to come up with an alternative.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: They never have. It's all lip service. They've never come
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: up with any kind of alternative. So we're going to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: see that going on. And by the way, do you
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: remember the last time the President said Republicans and Democrats
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: can work together on anything?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: No, it sounded weird. Actually didn't thought it was ai.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah. Oh, and healthcare premiums January December thirty first,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's going to explode Americans, twenty million of them, twenty
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: five million of them. Well, we just can't afford healthcare.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: They'll they'll be out of the out of the level
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of being able to pay for healthcare, double triple, quadruple
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in certain cases.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I think the bill was called suck it up and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: get a job. They were trying to pass out.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Oh no, they have plenty. No, these are people who
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: have good jobs. The problem is, Yeah, the problem is
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a healthcare I know you're smart ass, but I want
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to point that out because there are plenty of people
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that don't work.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Our insurance is broken.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It's completely broken. The system is completely broken. I'm not
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: arguing that. All I'm saying is that they're based on
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the system we have today. Obamacare kicked in twenty something
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: million people that have insurance medical insurance, and it has
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: certain levels and does it'll make a lot of sense
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to a lot of people.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I believe in a single payer. That's it, you know
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the HM. I go to Kaiser and just here's my
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: monthly copey and I'm done. But we'll never get there
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: because that's socialized, communist medicine except for people over sixty five.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: That's interesting.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I would like to know all the legislators who are
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: over sixty five. How can they accept medicare and scream
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: about socialism for people that aren't covered by medical.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Well, insurance is socialism and it's.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is to some extent, but that's everybody. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that's true, but that's everybody paying. You have a good point.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: It spreads the risk what single payer spreads the risk
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: across the entire United States? Absolutely, that's absolutely true. Okay,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: moving on.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I don't smoke, drink, vaccine, or chew or hang out
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: with women that do. The FDA now looking for very
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: serious warnings on COVID vaccines. So the US Food and
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Drug Administration tends to put a black what they for
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: to his black box warning on COVID nineteen vaccines. Yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: this is the same stuff, by the way, that goes
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: on opioids.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I know there's no evidence for this. I mean there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: when you talk about Yeah, there's none. I mean, it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: just crazy. Anything has to do with vaccines is bad.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Anything has to do with vaccines is evil.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It should be illegal living.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you you wait, by the time the Trump
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: administration ends, and I said this, Robert Kennedy is going
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to do everything he can uh to kill vaccinations in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: this country because they are evil, because they kill people,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: because they are horrific. There's there's now a measles outbreak.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: It's coming, it's here. There's now hundreds of people who
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: have measles. It was eradicated. It was eradicated.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's a measles outbreak right now.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: There certainly is heard on the news several hundred people
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: now have U now have measles, and they say it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: they think it's coming out of one church. And of
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: course nobody was vaccinated. The kids weren't vaccinated. You can yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's I think so, But it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: gotten worse. There are now several hundred cases. You can
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: look that up. By the way. The other thing that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the FAA doesn't want to do, Neil, is you to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: take Amy stories.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Burn Burn.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Oh you're up again, Neil. You want to steal my namy.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I want you to know, we've.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Got to go back to We've got to go back
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to mistake when the Mexican does it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I stole it. That's correct.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, that is correct. And you had better. You had
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: better have parked my car in the right place. I'm
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: telling you, Okay, moving on.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I always do, sir, all right.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: The Charlie Kirk accused shoot Tyler Robinson is popped up
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: in the Utah court room for the first time in person,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: and this was yesterday. Attorneys argued, obviously how much access
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the media can have in the criminal case. These things
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: obviously go nationwide and beyond. And that's always the question
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: on these things is how much access are we going.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: To get media wise?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: But he was very calm, hands were handcuffed in front
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: of him, a blue button up shirt, pink tie.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now, why is that? I think about this for
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a moment. Usually when someone in custody appears in court
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in front of the judge. Only they have the prison
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: outfits on. They are shackled. And why do you think
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: he had a coat and tie on, or at least
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a tie and a long sleeved shirt and you couldn't
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: see the handcuffs. They made absolutely sure the cameras didn't
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: see the handcuffs. I'll tell you exactly why as you go, really, Bill, Yes,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: here is the reason this case has such enormous publicity,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: such enormous adverse publicity to many many people. That the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: fear is that first of all, the jury is going
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to be tainted by him being in handcuffs and being
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: sewn shackled, and also limiting the amount of media in there.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind that media is allowed in courtrooms. We
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: have open courtrooms in this country. That's the philosophy. We
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: have open court which is why anybody can get in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: line to see any case under any circumstances, except when
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you have exitgen circumstances, for example, adverse publicity like in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this case, and the reason for a change of venue,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that sort of thing. Thought I would throw that out
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: at you. I don't know if that helped, but well
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: there you are, well, thank.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You for that.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: This is when Neil actually gives me some kudos. Oh
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you finally.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I know you're an incredibly smart man, and that's silly
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and I respect the hell out of you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Anybody said otherwise, I don't kiss your Yeah, I understaid. Okay, Amy,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you actually have a story to do, and Neil.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Wants to steal it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Of course. Yes, put up your hands.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is out and he's going to stay out.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: So a judge release ordered.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Him to be released from detention yesterday. He was released
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: last night. Then this morning the judge also issued a
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: temporary restraining order so immigration agents can't pick him up again.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Abrego Garcia is the guy from El Salvador who was
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: living in Maryland. Remember, he got caught up in that
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: immigration sweep and was deported to the Seacott Megaprison in
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: El Salvador, and then he was brought back to the
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: US and then he was arrested on human trafficking charges
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: and then he was released, and then he was detained
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: and now he's out again.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back and forth, and the government says he is
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: an MS thirteen member.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: He denies that, and also.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: The the trafficking of human beings.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: He's denying that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But man, he bound this was a ping pong ball
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: where he went back and forth and back and forth.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: What really got the court pissed off because there was
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a stop the detention and they went forward with it. Anyway, Oh,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: bless you. How much of that sneeze did you catch?
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I got a little on my lip.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you don't want to do is look at
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: my microphone sock. I'll tell you that right now, or like.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: A microphone sponge.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, he doesn't get good publicity by the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: fact that kill is actually.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: In his name. It's a little rough when you're trying
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to be innocent.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Anyways, Trump trying to take away some of the sovereignty
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: of the states. He says he signed an executive order
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and basically what he wants is to block states from
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: enforcing their own specific AI regulations. He says that he
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: wants to have one central source of approval coming out
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: of the Oval Office there yesterday.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a point.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you have fifty states, each of one
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: having different regulations.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Richard Murrow talked about this, and.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Even the we have had with these companies, we have
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: that with all kinds of things.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That's true, but it's faster.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You bet you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: AI is very different because everybody is going to use
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and does use AI, every business, every individual. AI is
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: so all pervasive that I think you have to have
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: national laws.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I would agree.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I agree with the President of the I agree with
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the president on this one.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Oh on, get him off the floor, Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Plug him up or else.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: LA Counties filed an environmental lawsuit against oil and gas
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: well operators. The goal of the lawsuit is to get
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: them to address what lawyers call dangers to human health
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and environment caused by unplugged, idle, and exhausted oil and
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: gas wells in the Inglewood oil field.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: UH.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: The pseudo ledges that the oil companies failed to properly
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: decommission and plug the old oil and gas wells, causing
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: toxic pollutants to leak leak into the air, the water,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: and the land.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: UH.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: One of the companies has responded saying that lawsuit was
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: filed without justification and its allegations contradict years of scientific
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: work done by the state and county Well.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and one of the attorneys for one of these
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: companies pointed out that the County of Public Health just
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: conducted a health assessment. An environmental justice study said, no,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: no evidence of any pollution or any leakatrom the oil
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: these oil wells.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: So but then why are they? Why are they because.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Because environmentalists tend to be nuts, That's why. Because there
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: is a streak of uh nuttiosity going through the environmental
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: uh movement.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but isn't oil natural?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: In that state? They're just digging in that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is natural. But what ends up happening
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: when you cap these wells? First of a lot of
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: natural gas comes out of these wells and the environment.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: That's part of the environment. So is botulism. So I think,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: really exactly.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Batulism is caused by uh in oil wells between natural things.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: That's no, everything, every every process is somehow natural. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: what they do invent uh new molecules. Hey, I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: science has the ability to do that. But yes, it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: all natural. They invented COVID they certainly no kidding, no kidding,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it's so civic cats. Uh, it's that Kentucky fried bat
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that's right next to that in Okay.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: All right, so bass is looking for money. Don't touch
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: the homeless money. But she needs four hundred I mean
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: four point four million, rather to hire more LAPD.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: That's just a drop in the bucket for the homeless money.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, homeless money. It sings billions in the billions,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, no.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: But she needs this to hire another four hundred and
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: change cops officers because we are in a deficit when
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: it comes to law enforcement here.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, what's go ahead. No, she was already sett
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: in terms of numbers. She was set for two forty
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and she wants to make it to four hundred.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was the original two hundred and forty
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: officers were authorized earlier in the year. But you know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: because public safety and all that stuff, So she's looking
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: for this four point four million. Otherwise, the hiring stops
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: in January. So by a gun, third.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Strike and you're out. Maybe maybe not.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia has declined to
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: indict Letitia James, New York's Attorney General.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: This is the third time grand jury has declined to indict.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: They refused to charge James in connection with making false
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: claims on a mortgage application that the Trump administration has
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: been pushing for.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Well, technically speaking, it's twice. The grand jury has said no.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: The first time there was an indictment, and that was
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: by Lindsay Halligan, who was the acting US Attorney in Virginia,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: who had been put there by President Trump. After the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: actual acting Attorney General turned down the case against Letitia
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: James because he said there isn't enough evidence here.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: He was tossed.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So they brought in this gal, Lancey Halligan, who has
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: never prosecuted a case once in her life. She's never
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: prosecuted a traffic ticket, and she got an indictment. It
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: was close. And then that indictment was thrown out for
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: technical reasons and the judge rule that that indictment had
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: to fail. So now they try twice more to get
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: a grand jury to indict, and the grand jury says nope, nope.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: They could keep on.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Going every week until the grand jury is done. Grand juries.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the eighteen months or a year
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: in Virginia, but you can do it as often. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: wonder if they're gonna do it a third time, a
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: fourth time, a fifth time.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Who the hell knows. If you can't beat them, join them.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Disney is in it to win it with a big
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: deal one billion dollars. As a matter of fact, between
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Disney and Open Ai. They announced this yesterday and there's
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you know, still more details that are going to come
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: out on this, but really what it is is they're
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: going to license certain characters, whether it's Marvel or Pixar,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Star Wars, all these ips in intellectual properties that they own.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That means costumes, props, vehicles, environs, all these things.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: To be used in AI.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: So instead of you know, battling every time somebody uses AI,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: they're looking at this going, hey, we're going we want
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: to partner and find ways to do this that is
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: more controlling but allows people that use AI to create
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: vignettes or small little videos or things like that to
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: use some of the characters.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Assumes comes at a cost.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, well this first of all, it's only
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: open AI that company. Yeah, and and Disney is paying
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this that that puts them in the AI
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: game in a different way big time.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing the AI things that are
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: going to pop up in the parks then, like photos
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: and like you can make little videos at the park.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yourself, You'll be able to create your own whole
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: New World.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it'll be small, Amy, cratch yourself a whole new world.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Get it? Yeah?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Did you get it? Bill?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I did? Ok And then I added and it's small.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you say this because you get it. Did
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you get it?
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: I got it?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Grid, we should do that for the rest of
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Did you get it?
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Did you get it?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Oh? I didn't get it?
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I mean now, Okay, watch out for who's walking around.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: LAPD's been doing a sting operation in Woodland Hills and
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: people are apparently not very happy about it. So they've
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: got people who appear to be playing clothes officers crossing
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: the street, and they're crossing outside of a marked crosswalk,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: and the drivers who aren't stopping for them as is
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: required by law, are then getting pulled over by the
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: motorcycle cops who were kind of hidden away on a
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: side street.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Who stops for Well, let me put it this way.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You have a pedestrian, this is at a crosswalk, okay,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and the light is green, and the pedestrian has the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: right of way. Getting a scenario which happens to me
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: all the time at a crosswalk. So the pedestrian is
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: walking across and after hitting the median part the middle
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: of the street. Then you pull to the right if
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: you're making a right turn while the person is in
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the crosswalk at the far end.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Do you do that?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I do that constantly. I do not wait until the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: person hits the curb on the other end. Does anybody wait? No,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's against it. That's against the law.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You could just for that one where they are though, right,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: like you, Yeah, it's more I mean, it's more fun
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: when they're, you know, the curb closest to you. Can
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you have a good chance of hitting them and having
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: them dodge the car.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. That's more entertaining. I've seen the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: video though.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: It's funny that you've got this cup on a cup
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: sitting there and then these guys walking across the street
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: and the second someone passes, he's like what.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, and away from I know, it's kind
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: of crazy. If there's something behind you. Pedestrians should not
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: have the right away. They should not mulm down.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: The five pound vehicle should okay? Uh.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Indiana GOP rejects Trump's map. You know this is there
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: is some pushback, at least we see it on occasion
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: when it comes to Trump and this is all that
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: jerrymanderin garbage. So a lot of pressure from President Trump,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: and they kind of ignored that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: They said no, they said no, get you get on
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the wrong end of Trump. You're in a lot of
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: trouble if you are a Republican and he's made a real,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: real plane he does all the time. If you was
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a Republican voting against me, you're in a lot of trouble.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Although that threat, I think is getting less and less viable.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel that way too.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but I feel like there has
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: been some pushback in.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because some of the promises that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: were made are not being kept. And the big, big
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: one where I think the President is losing a lot
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: of his ammunition and his oomph and his gravitas has
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to do with the economy. It's right there, it's real
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: with our no no, but this one is a big one.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, he won based on the Biden economy and inflation,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: which was legit as far as running, and now he
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: is running.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: He is running the country.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Based on the fact that prices are down and you
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: are in great shape. For those of you that look
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: around and go, wow, things have gotten expensive as we
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: talk over the last couple of years or last year,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: how prices have gotten expensive. That's a hoax. And let
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: me tell you that's wearing thin. That's why I think
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that's where he's losing his political momentum.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Hard to call it a hoax when it's coming out
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: of our wallet.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's a hard I read that argument is thinning.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: And the longer the president is away from the election,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the harder he is going to be able to blame
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Biden for anything negative. So yeah, that's why I think
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: he is losing a lot of his momentum.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: USC may be playing in a shiny new stadium temporarily,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: the Trojans may have to play some of their twenty
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: twenty eight home games at Sofi Stadium instead of their
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: normal venue because of the Olympics. So the Olympics only
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: and a couple of weeks before the season starts, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: for the Olympics at La Memorial Coliseum. They had to
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: spend like one hundred billion dollar dollars to revamp some things.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: One hundred million. One hundred million?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Oh did I say billion? You did well?
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: You spent a lot of money Anyway, they spent like
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: one hundred million dollars to put a temporary track in
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: for the track and field events. They're going to have
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: to take all that out and they are worried that
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: they won't get it done in time.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So how do you put in a temporary track and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: spend one hundred million dollars doing it? Doesn't that seem insane?
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: They had to install track eleven feet above the field
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: that stretches over the first few rows of the stadium
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: seating because it's not fine, it's not big enough.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: All right, one hundred million dollars. The entire Colisseum cost
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: eighty cents to build, much less one hundred million dollars now,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: all right, So anyway, SOFI stadium, which means that and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: gets to see some gay as some Olympic games.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Well US game.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh no, is it going to be that section that
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you work in or they get They probably won't have
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: that because that's a field level And yeah, I'm not
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: sure what's gonna happen with that. Yeah, I don't think So, okay,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: let's do another couple of stories.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Neil, Neil, Sorry, there is a new.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Protection against ultra violet A and b raise low levels
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: of absorption through the skin into the body, and it
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: is being accepted by the FDA as a new ingredient
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: inside inside sunscreen.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, protect your skin melanoma no.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Melono muh uh okay, bem o tries and all.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I think we have a last story.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Amy Elon Musk needs money.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: SpaceX is looking to raise more than twenty five billion dollars.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: They're going to do an IPO in twenty twenty six.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Good boost the rocket maker's valuation to over a trillion dollar.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Apparently, the move to go public.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Is largely driven by the rapid expansion of Starlink, you know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: the satellite internet business, and also plans for direct to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: mobile service and progress on its Starship rocket program for
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Moon and Mars missions.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are separate companies.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: We're talking about SpaceX as a separate company, which it is.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: It's this is not Tesla, This is not what a
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: lot of people think is John. This is probably the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: best rocket company in the world. It has it does
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: eighty percent of the world's launches eighty percent, and has
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: created Starlink, which is the best communications system out there.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Starlink puts everybody on the planet in touch with cell
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: phone service.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is good stuff. I just talked.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I was talking on money a guy yesterday and he
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: sent me an article about how this is this is
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: solid SpaceX. Don't buy a Tesla.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: You're weird about that. Tesla's. Tesla's are gorgeous.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: No, No, Tesla's aren't. Tesla's are a little tinny. Tesla's
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: are They're just not that well built. I just don't
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: think they're that well built.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: My brother has a couple of them, and I will
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: tell you one of them is almost ten years old.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: If it's no, they do last. And it's never been
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: in the shop. No, it doesn't go to electric motors
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: don't go in the shop. Well, it has been in
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the shop. It gets new tires. It has to get
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: new tires. And well, they doesn't go to the shop.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: They come to him.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Oh I okay, there, I feel better.

  Speaker 3: Seat, it's never had any It looks brand new to
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: this day. Well, but you can take care of a car.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: There are cars that were built in the forties that
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: look brand new.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You had a.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Car that was in the shop constantly, very high end,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: very expensive, and I had the same make different model,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: a lower model, and it was never in the shop
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: because you don't know how to take care of gadgets.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: The more the more complex the car is, the less
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: you know how to use it.
