• 3:21
  Speaker 1: As I said, some big stuff going on yesterday, not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a surprise, but just fun stuff that happened, particularly Christy Noome,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and we'll cover that at seven o'clock. A story about
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: sea level which isn't really sea level, the kind of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sea level that you expect to understand, and then where
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the anti vaccine sentiment is going. I had to go there.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It just had to go there, and that is great fun. Okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: let's do it, guys. It's time for a handle on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the news on this Friday morning with Amy Neil and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: me lead story. As much as I love talking about
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the Christine Nomes story, which will be next. A far
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: more important story, of course, is what's happening in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: war in Iran in the Middle East. Here is what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is going on, just really quick headlines. The US and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Israel are intensifying its attacks, going much stronger, as Pete
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Heseth and the President said, you ain't seen nothing yet.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And Iran's ability to fire back or to fire their
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: offensive weapons have been degraded, decreased dramatically, and the number
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of missiles that have been launched have been decreased, and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: drones have been decreased ninety eighty five percent. That sort
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of thing. Europe is being drawn in. At first, Europe
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: said we have nothing to do with it, because the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: United States invaded Iran with Israel, and Europe is not
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: thrilled with that relationship. But as Iran stupidly is attacking
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: its Mid East neighbors, Europe, who heretofore Britain, for example, Cyprus,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: who would not let the United States and Israel, particularly
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the United States use their countries as bases, are now
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: saying you bet use them all you want at this point,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: simply for defensive purposes. We'll see what happens. NATO is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gearing up. Oh Man, is Iran actually going to attack
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a NATO country. They can't be that stupid. Maybe it can,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: maybe the Iranians can. So far, they're being that stupid.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're attacking Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: foreign minister, the Iranian foreign minister was asked about that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He goes, We're not attacking any of our neighbors. This
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is all collateral damage. And Tom Yamas, NBC News anchor
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: who did the interview, said, but you're attacking airports and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you're attacking oil refineries in these countries.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: That's not true. We deny it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The win here if he run survives and I'm talking
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about the Revolutionary Guard and the current regime, if it survives,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that will be declared a win. They will the whole
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: country will at gunpoint go out and scream, we've won,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We've won, We've overcome the Satan Americans because he's yeah,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Hamas considers it a win that they're still there. That's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a win to these folks. And so we'll see if
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: regime changes on its mind. Oh and the president has
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: now said that he wants to be involved in choosing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the next leader of Iran because he wants to add
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Shaw to his titles, his various titles, because he was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: missing that one. Okay, sew Trump, yeah over there in Iran. No,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he's gonna help choose the uh, the next leader. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it was from the people are going to choose to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be involved in choosing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Hitting ahead, you're gonna you're gonna go through all the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Trump stories in the news.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: No, there aren't too many. No, there aren't too many
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of them. There's only one, and that's h and that's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: not really anti Trump's a matter of facts. Pro Trump
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is the one with christinoam because the only complaint, the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: only criticism I have of Donald Trump is he didn't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: act quickly enough. But he acted and decisively and it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was man, it was right there. I mean, there was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: no issue as to how he acted in fiery her.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But let's move on because we have plenty more.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just skip number two because we just talked
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Well, then we're gonna have to skip number three because
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: he just talked about that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, so four okay, wow, No, then we did
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: number four to because.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm giving reviews. Okay, four, number five I got
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this skip number six seven. No, okay, we're done with
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: handle on the news right here on KFI. Thanks listening, everybody.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Well, thank god Trump has nothing to do with the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: gangs in la uh oh cash btel hold Off. Federal
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: authorities very excited about this. They say several members and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: associates of the eighteenth Street Gang here in Los Angeles,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: if you're not familiar, is a massive gang and it
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: is incredibly widespread throughout Los Angeles and they infest a.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Lot of MacArthur Park.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So they did a coordinated takedown with Los Angeles Field Office, FBI, FED,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: other federal local agencies, Homeland Security Investigations, Drug Enforcement Agency,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: everyone came together and took down a massive chunk of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: this gang. But they haven't told us how many, are
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: given us any details, what specific charges or anything. But
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: let's hope they start doing this more and more. It
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: is a crap hole. I don't live far from MacArthur Park.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: It is a crap hole, so hopefully.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And there is some controversy because they were supposed to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: go after the nineteenth Street Gang and it was the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: address right, Yeah, I'm mistaken identity. Yes, they got the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: wrong people. And as you talk about the takedown. What
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: we don't hear very often is you talk about federal
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: authorities with local authorities these gang takedowns or any kind
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of a gang, whether it a gang banger, these these
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: gangs were various groups of shall molestors, whatever. It's the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the amount of resources that it takes. It's years in.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Surveillance crime.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's a long time to do the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: just do to do the intelligence and to understand what's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: going on. And it's a bit. It's it costs a fortune.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's not to say that it's not appropriate. All I'm
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: saying is you take down let's say they took down
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: sixty members or thirty members. That's probably hundreds of millions
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of dollars agents being pulled just just to surveyll one
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: or two of these gang members. It's a very big deal.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not saying anything negative about it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just throwing in this is what it costs to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: do that. And those Nineteenth Street gang members are really happy,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: now let me tell you, okay.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Impeaching PAM. Representative Shri Thanadar from Michigan has filed articles
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondy over how she
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: handled the Epstein files. He said Bondy is illegally withholding
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: millions of Epstein files after Congress passed that law requiring
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: the Department of Justice to release all of its documents
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: related to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: This is a monumental waste of time. Why people do this,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Why you have representatives that do this. It's going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: go no place. It doesn't have a chance of going
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: any place. And yet the spinning occurs. And if there
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: are going to be some hearings on this, which I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: can't imagine that the speaker, Michael Johnson would let this
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: ever go into hearings or on the floor, it's it's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: just a statement. So make the statement.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Just go on the floor and make a statement. Okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: everybody does.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: That's it, and it's.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Say hey, we hate them.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Look at some point there's Here's what ends up happening, unfortunately,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is all of these public pronouncements and hearings are exactly
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: as you say, they are theater, which means that they
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: get lost or the real stuff gets lost somehow in
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the fray. You know what, just do your job, take
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: take your job seriously, and don't come up with stuff.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You know, whether she deserves it or not. I have
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely no idea, but there is. If there's zero chance,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: zero chance, why do you spend the time of our
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: with our tax payer dollars.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I will throw one other little thing in there. Though
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Christin Nom did such a poor job with her answers,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I think they played a partner firing. So maybe it
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: does do a little something well in her case.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, but there aren't too many cabinet secretaries that are
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: as sleazy and as dumb as Christinome is and as cheesy.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: That play panned out as one. Okay, so that's what.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So therefore that justifies all of this. I say no,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's a monumental waste of time. Let's get
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to business. Even the impeachment of Bill Clinton, which I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: thought was just a waste of time. Not that he
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: didn't perjure himself, of course he did. He under the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: penalty of perjury. He did lie, and that criminal acts,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: no question about it. I think he was either disbarred
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: or he resigned from the bar, and even then there
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was no chance he was impeached, just like President Trump
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: has been impeached twice. Zero chance of any kind of conviction.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm just throwing that out. Although with the president
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton, that had a little bit more political
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: import that'll go for because that is a very, very
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: big deal when he said I did not have sex
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: with that woman and established a whole new criteria of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: definition of sex, and that is oral. Sex is being
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: performed on anybody on any mail and throws up his
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hands in the air. That is not sex. Okay, if
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you're not grabbing, never mind, Okay, let's just move on,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And this is unfortunate in so many ways. Not only
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: did a Capitol rioter who was pardon in those big
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: pardons that Trump did get out, it turns out this
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Florida handyman, which is also unfortunate in this case, was
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: sentenced on Thursday to life in prison in prison for
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: molesting two children, and so he was one of the
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: ones that stormed the Capitol was pardoned by President Trump.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Turns out this dirt bag deserved to stay in prison forever.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the fact that he was part of the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: J six crowd is simply a news item. I mean,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: obviously the sure but that does well. The pardoning is
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: another issue that I think that is probably the most
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: offensive thing that President Trump has done, certainly in my opinion,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: where the overrunning of the capital of the United States
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to try to undo an election and calling those people
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that are trying to undo an election and overran the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: capitol as patriots and peaceful demonstrators and therefore pardon that,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, was at this point the most offensive
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: thing the president has done.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I think that is such a such a massive black
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: eye on America that hold January sixth thing, and anybody
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: that defends breaching those walls in any way, shape or
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: form disgust me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Even though even those quote peaceful demonstrators that took stansions
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and took flag poles and beat up police officers, they
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: are patriots and they were peaceful demonstrators as they were
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: beating up police officers. Yeah, anyway, So anyway, no surprise.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You would think that among those people, the Jay six
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: defendants no longer defendants the day the j six patriots,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you would think there'd be some bad, bad guys in there,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and there are.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I wonder if any of them were wearing Blue Life
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Matter flags while they were beating the cops.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: They were, certainly, yes, I'm sure there were all right
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: before Amy picks up her story. This just in about
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the US jobs market. Labor Department just reported that employers
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: cut ninety two thousand jobs in February, and economists had
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: predicted the US would continue adding jobs. It went the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: other way, and the games for December and January were
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: also devised downward. Happens quite often because more information comes
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in and the revisions go up or down. So it's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: going down. So that does not job does not do
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: well for our economy. Is it a make or break?
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: No?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But the stock market again is what Amy, you just
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: reported is down? How much? Down?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Eight fifty down, eighty seventy four right now?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, of course, because it what's going on in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Middle East, you would expect that to happen. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: so we'll see how this thing pans out.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, moving on.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Could the partial government shut down shutdown World Cup Soccer?
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Seven FIFA World Cup games that are set to be
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: played at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts are in question
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: because of a delay in federal funding. The town Foxborough
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: is worried that it might be stuck paying millions of
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: dollars in security costs. Why because the more than six
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: hundred million dollars set aside in federal grant money in
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: last year's One Big Beautiful Bill to assist the cities
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: hoping hosting World Cup are Well, they're frozen. They're supposed
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: to be distributed by the end of January, but FEMA
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: said that it was in the final stages of awarding
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: those grants when it's funding lapsed.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Last Yeah, there's the Department of Homeland Security is in
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: control of FEMA, and since Christynam has been tanks, she's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: been fired as the Secretary of the Department of.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Security.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, Homeland Security. Sorry about that for a moment,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and she no longer has her tickets. She's quoted as saying,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: if I'm not going, no one's going.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Already. Let's dig up some bodies. US is looking to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: exoom and identify. I didn't even know this. Actually the
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: remains of eighty eight Pearl Harbor buried unknowns. I didn't
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: know we had that many unknowns these, Oh.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: We have unknown World War two, unknowns from World War One.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We have lots and lots of unknowns. Also, you've got
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think the Korean War. There may be an unknown
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: or they just discovered through DNA that they connected as
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to who he was, certainly from the Vietnam or no
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: unknowns in any war thereafter.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: But the the USS Arizona was bombed, you would know
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: everyone who's on the ship, right.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You would, But again you don't know who or what
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: maybe presumed maybe presumed dead, but you don't know who
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it is. So this is very solemn. I mean the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Arizona itself, I know, if you've ever been, there is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: an extraordinary site because as you go there and then
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the ship is right there, thirty feet under the water.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I mean you can you know the oil is still
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: bubbling up, and it's a very solemn moment. It is
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because you realize nine hundred men are entombed in that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: ship because the attack on Pearl Harbor.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Okay, Savannah says she's coming back. So Savannah Guthrie is
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: the host of the Today Show. Says she plans to
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: return as the anchor of the show, but hasn't said when.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Of course, she's been off since her mother disappeared more
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: than a month ago from her home in Arizona. NBC
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: said that Savannah stopped by the Today Show set yesterday
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: said hi to everybody. She didn't go on camera or anything.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: But she went by and said, yep, I will eventually
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: come back.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine what the rating is going to be
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: when she does come back that first day, and what
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a moment that's going to be, just the emotion of
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: her walking on the set for the Today Show. It's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: going to be an extraordinary moment. There's no question about it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: All of It's crazy to me, the fact that you
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: know it's not closed, there's zero closure on it at
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: this point, but you have to go back to work.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're of course, you know, of course, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: she is such a public figure and we have been
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: living her grief to a much smaller extent obviously, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: she has been in the news for so long. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: generally watch ABC News, that's my go to in terms
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: of network news, and David Muir whenever reporting on the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the the capture or excuse me, the kidnap of Nancy Guthrie,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: talks about our friend Savannah over at NBC on the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Today Show, and so it's it's that big a story
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: across the news outlets and of course throughout the United States.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So she's gonna return, which she should, I mean, she
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: has to anyway, and not just for the money part.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming she doesn't have to worry about money because
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: she gets paid millions and millions of dollars a year.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But just as you said, Neil, you have to return
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to work. I mean you have no choice, just for
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: your your own mental health.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then there's the day. It's open ended and I
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, as I said this almost from the beginning,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think someone is going to stumble, and at some
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: point hiker is going to stumble across Nancy. Nancy got three.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's what's going to happen. I think because
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it's out in the desert, I think her remains, which
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I do believe are out there, are very very difficult
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to find and maybe never You're right, I mean, there
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: may never be closure. And closure is a really important
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: thing for families to not know, all the hostage families
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: in why Israel made such a huge deal and rightly so,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: as we would of bodies remaining hostages is horrific. All right,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: let's do one more and then we will go ahead
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and take a break.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: The anti vaxxers have hit the vets. You have veterinarians
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: saying that they're seeing a drop off in vaccinations for
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: their pet owners, and that many of them are now.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Skeptical of shots.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: A lot of veterinarians are looking at this as a
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: major concern because not only are you protecting animals, but
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you can protect humans as well. As some of these
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: things could be passed. These diseases can be passed to humans. Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: that's kind of curiosity.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the big diseases that are passed to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: humans from animals is stupid, just stupid. That's a disease
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that can be passed, so you have to vaccinate against.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And the big one is the non vaccinated pets. Well,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: if they're vaccinated, they get autism. And I don't know
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: if you've ever seen an autistic dog, but it's really
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: interesting to see they won't look at you, they look down,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they mumble, you know, they're barking. Is very mumbly fascinating
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to see those dogs.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Wow than that, Thanks for that little trip. Yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just gotten so ridiculous. It's become insane. But well,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: welcome to the new world.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: This might be small by our standards, but for Louisiana.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: An earthquake hit northwestern Louisiana, waking people up from their sleep,
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: shaking furniture, rattling pipes, and raising eyebrows. Due to its strength,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: the US Geological Survey said it was a magnitude four
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: point nine. It was about fifty miles from Shreveport. Republican
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Stay Senator Thomas Presley, who's from Shreveport, said, well, my
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: wife's slept right through it, because she's from California.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what happens. You sleep right through them. Four
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: point nine. That's not even worse worth mentioning here?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Four point nine. Yeah, I don't give you some decent shaking.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean that would be reported. At what
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: point do you not report? Amy, you're the one that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: reports is where is the cutoff? Under three designation?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: We don't mention them? Yeah. I just really don't feel.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Except trucks rumbling past the station, which you can actually feel.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: That's greater than a four, isn't it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I haven't checked my side.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I would love to do it. I'll bet you. I'll
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: bet you.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, what a lineup at Reverend Jesse Jackson's funeral. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: believe it's today. You have former President Bill Clinton, you
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: have Barack Obama. Joe Biden will be among the speakers.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: This is all for the public celebration of life late
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Reverend Jesse Jackson today at the House of Hope on
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the far South side of Chicago.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people, I mean a lot of people,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and you've got some performers high end. Stevie Wonder is
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: going to be performing. They're thinking of exooming the Beatles
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: since two of them are dead also, but decided that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that work. Is that too soon? By the way, not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: only is it not funny, is it also too soon?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I really honest, I didn't get past it not being funny,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: so I didn't get to the point where I was
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: concerned about it being too soon.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me explain that to you. Okay, you got
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: half of the Beatles that are dead already, and okay,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: let's move on.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Lebron is not done being great. Lebron James is king
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: of another NBA record. It was once held by Lakers
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar until last night.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: The game against the Denver Nuggets. He needed to make
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: three Kno, they call him field goals. I thought it
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: was a basket.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: In this story, point is not that? Just a point they
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: have to make.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: The other called field goals like the two points. Okay,
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: point is an individual. A field goal is like a
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: shot from the well. Anyway, that's what they call him
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: basket these days. I guess they always have. I just
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: I guess I don't pay that close of attention.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Way, he needed three field goals to pass Kareem Abdul
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Jabbar for the most made in league history, and he
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: set that new mark with a fade away jumper near
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: the Lakers bench with eleven point eight seconds left in
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: the first quarter. So he made fifteen thousand, eight hundred
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: and thirty eight baskets.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: By Kno, I'm gonna I'm now going to shock you
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: with my vast knowledge of basketball and a factoid. The
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: only player in NBA history to ever score one hundred
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: points in one game was Wilt Chamberlain. Do I have
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that right?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: It's correct? Wow?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: He also he also with lots of ladies over one thousand,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: he said, I think I thought.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: It was ten thousand.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Maybe it was at thousand, ten thousand. It was totally
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: believable too, ten thousand.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Over the years. I mean, he was around for a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: long long time, Good old Wilt.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: I haven't even been to Disneyland that many times.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: That's where he got his name Wilt, because after his
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: fourth thousandth one he became known as Wilt.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: That's gross, No, it's not okay, Well, all right, all right.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: So you know with AI making leaps and bounds every
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: it seems every six months.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: You know, Ben Affleck was on.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: The cusp of this. In twenty twenty two, he started
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: a film AI film production company. Quietly, not a lot
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: of people talked about it. It was called Interpositive. And
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: you know what, Netflix bought the startup. And can you
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: imagine how much people are talking about it because they're.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: They bought it. Can you imagine how much money? And
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: we don't know the figure that Netflix paid for his
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: film production company, his AI film production company. I would
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: guess it's north of one hundred million dollars, just a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: wild guess.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Well, they got a lot of extra money. Now then
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: they're not buying Warner Brothers.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's sure, the shopping mode.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: They do have a lot of extra money. All right, guys,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: we are done with the news. Coming up fun story
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and that's regarding the President removing Department Health Services Secretary. No,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, I'm sorry, Apartment of Homeland Security,

• 29:39
  Speaker 1: President on this one, really hard. And so we'll be
