• 3:21
  Speaker 2: CONO. Good morning, William. And uh, where is a will
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I don't see him on the monitor. I'm here, I'm here. Okay,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you're not up on well okay, you're not up on
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: my monitor. Maybe you did that on purpose. No, I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: not I'm here, but I'm not there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: How metaphysical is that?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's so deep. And for those of you that are wondering,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: why on the monitor?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Because when we when we change the out the layout
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of the radio station, unless we're in front of a monitor,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: we don't see each other because people are across the hall,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: down the hall, in different rooms.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me see what else is going on.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: We've got a little bit of Trump news. We have
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: some news about the election, the mayor oral election in
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, cool space news later on with Rod Pyle.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Uh just and then a few other things that I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: want to talk about. It should be a reasonably fun
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: not overwhelming the negative unfortunately Monday morning.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, are you guys ready to do it? Okay, okay, okay,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a little bit more exciting than that. Okay, wow the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: other there you go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That sounded more likely. Good, good for you, completely believable.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, we start. It's time for handle on
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the news, Amy and me. No Neil lead story. Well done,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: by the way, the anti vastionale Nithia Rahman is continuing
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to gain on Spencer Pratt in the mayoral runoff. The primary.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Now Karen Bass already has it. She's going to be
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: number one. Now the fight is number two. Who is
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: going to be on the ticket with her? Because in California,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: as you no doubt have heard many times, our primary,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the way our primary system works is the top two
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: vote getters in an election go to the general unless
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: there is unless there is a majority that one of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: them has fifty plus one. Fifty plus one and that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: a win. So now you had Pratt that was ahead
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of pretty handily. Ramen has been catching up, catching up,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: catching up, catching up.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And this is going to be the problem. And that
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: is because the.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Votes are coming in mail in ballots are coming in.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That is.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: The litmus test for the allegation of fraud. Anything that
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: comes in after election day, for many people argue that
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it is fraud. The whole system is fraudulent, as the
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: President and Republicans are saying.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And so we'll see what happens.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Now if Spencer Pratt would have won or does when
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the election is over, I mean, it is done, child, baby, goodbye.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: If it turns out that Nithia Raman and Bass run
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: about each other, that don't run against each other, that's
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: going to be interesting who gets it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Which way?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Does a democratic California or Los Angeles go super super liberal,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: super duper puoper liberal with Ramen or a more centrist
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: even though if you want to call Karen Bass a centrist,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: certainly in California terms, we'll see. I'm guessing no matter what,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Karen Bass is going to get it. Okay, moving on.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Is there fraud, well, let's find out. Speaking of the election,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: US Attorney Bill as Saley says California is refusing to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: comply with a federal request for voter registration records that
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the DOJ saiser needed to audit the state's voter roles
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and assess compliance with federal election laws. Federal officials argue
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: that they are entitled under the National Voter Registration Act,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the Help America Vote Act, and the Civil Rights Act
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to obtain the state's voter registration list and its related records,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: but apparently California doesn't want to hand those over. Saley
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: said that California's voter ID requirements, voter role maintenance procedures,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and ballot correction laws warrant additional scrutiny.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Now, and so California law goes the other way. Of course,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is going to go to Supreme Court.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Naturally, it has to because it's so you have two
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: divergent views. You have law, you have state law. Constitution says.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: State law is what prevails when it comes to how
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: election state elections are held. And here's the problem. They're
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: making such a huge d deal about voter fraud that
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: at this point it's allegations that's it. It's exactly going
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: to happen as the twenty twenty election being rigged. Those
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: that argue that did not come up with one one
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: shred of evidence that the election was rigged. And I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: think what you're going to see happening this is an
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: across the board attempt, or an across the board the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: investigation attempt, not that any allegation or not that any
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: proof at all. No one is saying, here's what happened,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: here's where we think fraud happened. It's an overreaching value
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: system saying that the whole system is fraudulent of the
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: way mail in ballots are handled in California. It's gonna
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: be very interesting. I guarantee you. The fraud argument is
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: going to go on and on and on and on,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: starting with the president. California, Los Angeles completely fraudulent. Now
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: keep in mind that there are no states or counties
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: where Republicans have won that there's been any allegation of fraud,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: none whatsoever.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: An alleged firebug is set to face the music jury
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: selection scheduled to get underway today in the case against
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Rinderneck. He's the guy who is accused of setting
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: a fire on New Year's Day in the Pacific Palisades
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: that then didn't get completely put out apparently, and a
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: week later erupted into the Palisades fire. Renderneck is a
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: former LA resident. He was living in Florida and wasn't
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: arrested until nine months after the Palisades fire.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's going to be ordered to pay restitution
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: if convicted.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like what restitution? He was an uber driver? Yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: but he could get forty five years in prison for it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I wonder if the judge is well, certainly
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the severity will be involved here will be considered, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the point is first defense. For example, does the judge
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: even consider that? And what would someone else get who
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: was also in arson under the same circumstances. It's going
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to be very interesting.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I'm curious as to whether the defense could argue that
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: it wasn't rendernecked, but it was LA Fire that was
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: negligent and not making sure that that fire was out.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I am sure that will be I don't think. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: don't know if that is going to be a defense. Well,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it could be.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Actually that argument is going to have Yeah, I think
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: that argument is going to fly. That resonates also being
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: because of the forty five years he is being hit
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: with malicious intent, that he should have known there's malice there,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and his attorney's going, no, it was just pure negligence
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: and that it so the criminality there is going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: be far far less if the judge buys it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I think the conviction is a given.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: What I think is going to be interesting is the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: sentence saying, what's he going to get?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Knock it off already? That's what President Trump is saying.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He's telling Israel and Iran to stop shooting at each other.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Both have been launching strikes on the other country. Iran
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: fired directly at Israel again this morning. Israel's military says
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: it hit several military targets in central and western Iran.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Israel says it was acting in retaliation for an Iranian
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: missile attack against northern Israel, which was done in response
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Beirut. Iran go ahead,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: just at Iran's military. Their Joint command is saying this
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: morning that it will halt its offensive following this exchange of.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Fire, assuming Israel halts its offensive.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And everybody at this point is kind of a green,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: sort of kind of and we are getting the news
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and have been that the ceasefire is in effect, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: it depends on how you define a ceasefire, and that
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is a large scale conflict not happening. Is that a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: ceasefire and attacks here and there is that a violation.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Both sides are claiming the other has violated, and the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: ceasefire and the ceasefire here is because the President is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: pushing pressure big time on Israel, and I think in
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: relation to that, you've got Iran pulling back doesn't change
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think it changes their philosophy or their negotiation tactic.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: But better than a full scale war. But then again,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: is the president in order a full scale attack and
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: if he is going after that enriched uranium, it's going
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: to be boots on the ground, and that's going to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: be a very different thing.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: It was interesting he was on me the press before
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: he walked off yesterday and they were talking about how
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: we would have to get the enrinched geranium out because
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: it's buried, and the only two countries who could handle
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: it are the US and China. Basically no one else.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: China is not going to get involved at all, so
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: it'll be the US for shores, and the pressure is
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: really building for the ceasefire to turn into some kind
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: of a peace agreement. But I don't know where they're
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: going to go unless I think the president is being
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: back in the corner right now. It's either going to
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: be a full scale invasion of which it will kill him,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: or a deal is going to be cut that he
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: is going to be accused of allowing Iran a lot
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of leeway that otherwise would not have been. I don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: know how he gets out of this. I don't other
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: than declare a victory and walk out the door.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: So Trump's done talking for now. He was speaking. I
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: mentioned Meet the Press. He was talking with Meet the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Press's Kristin Welker yesterday, broke off the interview abruptly with
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: her after she challenged his false claims about elections and
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: the January sixth riot. He said, let's call it quit
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: because I've had enough. Thank you, darling, have a good time,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: then stood up walked off the set. They were in
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: a barn in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and I don't know
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: if you guys watched it, but it was pretty interesting
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: because it was raining so hard. They couldn't They were
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: yelling because they couldn't. They couldn't hear each other. Thistof
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the metal roof was it was so loud, and then
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: they had audio problems, all kinds of stuff.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So they did talk for about an hour before he
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: walked out.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: And then Welker said after that she and Trump had
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: directly talked after that interview and that he has agreed
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: to come back and do another interview.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Well, she called him on just evidence, Just bring down
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: the evidence.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: You're arguing there was fraud, and she says, where's the evidence.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Just bring it to us.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: And it is tough, you know why, because there is
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: no evidence. Because if there was evidence, you think they
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: would have already brought that to the table.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: You think, get used to it sounding like a war
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: zone around La, low flying helicopters, sounds of explosions, simulated
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: weapons fire. We heard it last week in Pasadena and
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Irvine and Long Beach, and industry and officials are saying,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: get used to that because you're probably going to hear
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: it for the next couple of years around Southern California.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Agencies stepping up efforts ahead of a lot of special
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: events scheduled for Southern California, including the World Cup, which
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: starts later this week, Super Bowl in twenty twenty seven,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: and of course the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a legitimate you know. I mean there has
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to be security.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know what helicopters are going to be doing,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: helicopter gunships are going to be doing to keep the
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: facilities safe. But look what's happening at Madison Square Garden,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: what they're doing because the President is showing up I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: think tonight right.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Amy, Yes, he'll be there. Oh man.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's when the president comes anywhere, and that's any president,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: particularly President Trump because of the recent nesassitation attempts. It
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: is crazy making. When he comes to southern California, everybody
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: hates it because you can't go to the West Side,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: you can't go wherever he goes.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Everything is shut down.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It's just the President should just stay in the White House.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I mean literally, by law, he cannot walk out. It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: it's almost like he should have house arrest because it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: just too crazy and too expensive. The president moves and
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: just the c fives come in with his limousine, hundreds
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: of FBI agents. They uh, it's kind of crazy, it
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: really is. And both president both parties do it. Hey,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to Hawaii. Gee, I think I'm
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: going to Minnesota. Okay, let's spend two hundred million dollars.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't know how much it costs at all.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: When a president five and security, they will not tell us.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: The government will not tell us the cost of security
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and what it costs in general flying the president around.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: What does that tell you? And that's always been the case,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: all right, who's going.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: To serve the beer? Sofi Stadium workers have voted ninety
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: six percent in favor of authorizing a strike if they
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: don't get a new deal. The vote positions workers to
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: walk off the job at any moment, just days before
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: the first FIFA World Cup match. The workers include roughly
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: two thousand cashiers, cooks, bartenders, and dishwashers. They want a
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: living wage, they want limits on AI and subcontracting, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: they want guarantees that there won't be any immigration sweeps
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: during the events.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Do we know if Anne is one of those
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: because she works at so Far Was she part of
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the group.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know, because she's not a cashier, cook bar
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: one of those.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, maybe she'll be working, Yeah, maybe she will be.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: In fact, serving up the beer. A couple things about
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: this what the union, what the union is asking for.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Some of it is legitimate and some of it is insane.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: A living wage, absolutely, they want more money. Immigration enforcement protocols. Absolutely,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: they can see keep immigration officials out of there because
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: they don't want people picked up. Now, limits on AI
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and subcontracting. Man, those are ludites at work. This is
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: no cars because we want to keep horses on the streets.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: We don't want cars because those that manufacture buggies, buggy whips,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that's what this is about. No computers because that takes
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: away people who work in the accounting industry. That's what
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: we're talking about. You can't be a lued eye. You
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: cannot stop you can't stop the future from coming. You
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: can't you can't stop technology. What is going on. So
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: we'll see there's gonna be a movement above. By the way,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Luddites are the people that when the Industrial revolution started,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: they were breaking up entire factories because the Industrial revolution
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: and technology stopped the mass employment of workers.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: That's that is tough. You know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: The train industry is my favorite one where you had
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: when cabooses were around.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Of course they had caboose men.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And when they got rid of cabooses because they didn't
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: need them anymore, they kept caboosemen, and caboosemen would sit
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: in cabooses and do nothing, and then no cabooses, they
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: would be somewhere on the train doing nothing, and then
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: they weren't even there, but they got paid because of
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the union.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Moving on, Stop the Fight at the White House. A
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: lawsuit has been filed against the federal government asking a
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: judge to stop the Ultimate Fighting Championship event it's going
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: to be held on the White House lawn this week.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: The suit says the fight is private and for profit,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: and alleges that even though the UFC claims it is
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: eating the cost of the event and isn't selling tickets,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the event will likely be profitable for UFC and its
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: partner says that, also saying that they're using the White
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: House and the Lincoln Memorial improperly for the event, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: that the Claw, which is the structure built around where
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the fight's going to be, was erected without congressional approval.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I have a question when other presidents, I think George Bush,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: have these massive parties on the South Lawn where people
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: are fed and tents are erected. Is that federal money
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: or do they contract with private contractors to provide food
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: and the tents, et cetera. If they do, and I'm
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: guessing they do, I don't know for a fact what
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: they do or don't. What's the difference whether this president
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: can do that? And I don't know if there's any
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: law that says you can't.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, got a.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Shooter on the loose. Search is continuing for two men
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: who appeared to fire guns at each other and in
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the process shot at least twelve other people at a
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: street festival and a historic neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio. Happened
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: a little after five point thirty on Sunday. On Saturday, again,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: twelve people injured. Organizers canceled the remainder of the event.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: The people who were shot were between the ages of
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: fourteen and sixty one.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, everybody's got to get a gun, so
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised we don't have more of these.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more before he take a break, Gamy.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Big shake up in the Pacific. A magnitude seven point
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: eight earthquake has hit Southern Philippines at least thirty two
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: people were killed, more than two hundred others hurt, some
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: buildings collapsed, key infrastructure was damaged, and there were even
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: there was tsunami damage in at least one coastal village.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: And then some smaller waves were measured in Indonesia and
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Palau and as far away as southern Japan.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seven point eight the Richter Skate scale is no
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: small earthquake. That is a massive quake.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: How big was the one that hit Fukushima?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what it was, the big one, you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. We can maybe look that up.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: And then the one that hit Alaska I think of
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: nineteen sixty four was in the same range as the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: San Francisco quake. I mean, there's some been some massive
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: quakes up there, and this could be in the top five.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Ashima one I think was a night Yeah, it was
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: a nine.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Nine point whoa how much was this? What was the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: San Francisco quake? Michelle, do you have that?
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: That's eight point one? Rey?
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I think so, okay, and then okay, and then the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: sixty fourth quake in Alaska. Wow, okay, all right, so
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: it's not near We've had bigger ones than that. Alaska was.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: The When you go to.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Whatever coastal city and I remember which one, it starts
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: at third Street because America, because the first and second
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: street disappeared.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: The Pope's a popular guy in Spain. Op Leo the
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: fourteenth celebrated Spain's Christian roots and culture with a huge
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: morning mass in downtown Madrid and an evening spectacle that
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: featured Flamenco dancers, classical guitar, and a moving meditation by
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Spanish actor Antonio Benderas on art, Faith and Beauty. More
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: than one point two million people attended.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: He does better than the Eagles in concert, doesn't he?
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Popular Guy? Popular Guy LDS is feeling a little left out.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Utah's Twoday. US senators are questioning a new Pentagon policy
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: that leaves Christian off the designation for the Church of
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: This came as the Department of War reduced the number
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: of religious affiliation categories for service members that used to
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: have two hundred, now there's thirty one. So categories that
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: were removed from the list include Atheist, Humanist WICCA, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is included
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: as a religious category on the updated list, but it's
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: not included on the list of faith's labeled Christian.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: H And wasn't there a demonstration where everybody brought their
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: fourth wives?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I know, probably not. This is a big deal, I guess,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: you know. I for me, it's a so what. But
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: then again, you know it's I'm not obviously a Christian.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I would be if you gave me enough money.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: You don't have enough money. Well, you know it's there's
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: never enough. You know that you could ever be too
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: rich or too thin.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Ever, speaking of super rich, more signs that the money
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: really is moving out of California. California has been dethroned
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: as the nation's premier hub for Fortune five hundred companies.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Data from the twenty twenty six Fortune five hundred list
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: shows Texas now leads with fifty seven Fortune five hundred
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: company headquarters. California has fifty six of them. Corporations in
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Texas generated two point eight trillion dollars in revenue, those
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: in California a measly two point seven trillion, and in
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the past year alone, Exon Mobile, Chevron, Samsung Electronic, America,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Space X and X have either moved their headquarters or
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: their legal in corporations to Texas, mostly from California.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see in November whether this is going to
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: pass or not. And it's it's a one time hit
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: of one percent of the entire portfolio of anybody. So if,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: for example, you're a California resident who is worth let's
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: say one hundred and fifty billion dollars, I think we
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: have some what's one percent of one hundred and fifty
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: billion dollars? I mean that is it one percent or
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: five percent? I think it's am I wrong on this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: What the.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Tax? Five percent? Five percent tax?
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Billionaire's tax?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: What is Oh, so someone is worth one hundred billion dollars,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: there is there's five billion dollars. Hey, why not? It's
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: going to be big money for California. But then what happens,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: you know, the next year when it's done.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: This guy, this is amazing, he lived to tell. Daniel
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Crago is from San Diego and he was hiking at
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Glacier National Park. It was the last hike on the
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: last day of a trip to the popular park in Montana.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Crego is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast. He had taken a
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: few snapshots from the end of the Grinnell Glacier trail,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: and he was headed back to meet with his travel companion,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: just like one hundred yards away, and he spotted a
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: grizzly cub in his path just to his left. So
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: he said, you're supposed to remain calm. He knows this
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: from years of hiking. And he said there was a
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: larger grizzly bear maybe ten feet away from him. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: they say to alert the bear so that you don't
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: scare them. So he said, hey bear, hey bear. The
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: bear looked up and charged him.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, so he throws up the helicopter.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Folks they charged him too.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Well, they had to, because the bear came at him
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and took a swipe at his right arm. He put
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: his arm in front of his face. The bear takes
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: bit him, bit through flesh and bone, dragged him twenty
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: feet and then dropped him and ran off.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: This is a bear saying I'm really not that hungry,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: you know, just I really don't want to eat.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: She was protecting a baby.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: No, I understand, it was just bad luck. He did
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: everything right.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not one of those that you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: you go up there and you go too close or whatever.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, terrifying because when you say, oh, it has to
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: be terrifying, Yeah, there's a Mama bear.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: What is but more terrifying is having to pay thirty
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars for the helicopter ride after the copey
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: or after insurance pays.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeha. You know what he should have done is just.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Hired one of those tourist helicopters to take him because
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: that would have cost him five hundred dollars. All right,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: were you ever been on one of those two thousand
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: and one Hawaii and two of the helicopters. Hey, it
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: with Blue Diamond Company and I did two of those
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: within three weeks of each other, and right in the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: middle of it. Or yeah, two helicopters went down. Oh
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: is that pleasant?
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I well, statistically, if one goes down, another one's not
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: going to go down for a while, so you're probably safer.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't that safe. I were. They were pretty
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: close together. Okay, we are done. Guys.
• 29:38
