  Speaker 2: six million dollars or two players either, so that's no

• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't understand this best friend's business. I've never
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: quite gotten it. I really haven't.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That's okay, now, I am I you know, I'm fine.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm fine alone, but fine.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You're wholly unlikable, sir, not Holly. They're all part completely
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: not as insanctified.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, guys, let's do it handle on the news, Amy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: neil me lead story. Well, here we go again. The
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: President is claiming that there are active cease fire talks.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He says that the Allies or the countries around the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Gulf Mid East are begging the United States not to attack.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It was gonna be the biggest attacks since World War Two,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and now he says we're talking. They really want to deal.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: The problem is the people who disagree with him are
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the Iranians themselves saying no, we're not talking. So you're
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: going to see what's going to happen. Well, he's he
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: held off. I think it's seven or eight times in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the last month, maybe longer or maybe more times where
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the President said, yeah, we're going to attack tonight. Yep,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: if they don't come to the table. Oh, they said
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they're coming to the table. Oh I hear they're coming
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: to the table. I'm being told they're coming to the table.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: They desperately want to deal in Iran. Every time says
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're dreaming. That's simply not true. Now, yesterday I was
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I had a discussion with someone, and it's quite possible
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that what's going on. Is that the president of Iran,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: who doesn't have a whole lot of power, and coming
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: out of his office, maybe there are some talks that
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: are being talked about, but the IRCG, the Revolutionary Guard
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: who control Iran and it's terry are saying no, no.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reality is that people that could cut
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a deal are not cutting a deal. So here's the question,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: not that they're going to be talks, because I think
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: they're not going to be talks, or if they are,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: their audience are really smart, they're gonna drag on for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a very very long time. Does the president once again
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: say okay, you've got another two days and we're going
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ahead and go and bomb Iran. He said that a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of times. And then my question is why
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the stock market reacts every single time president said we're
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: gonna bomb tonight. Okay, stock market reacts go south, We're
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: not gonna bomb tonight. Or I've decided I'm not gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: bombm tonight. I'm going to hold off because peace talks
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: are coming out. Oh the market explodes, it goes straight
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: up by hundreds of points.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It's because the market is emotional, it is always been.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But let me. I agree, I have no problem with that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But let me ask it some point, at some point,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: when you call peace over and over again, does that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: does that validity? Does that credibility just fall apart? Or
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it's still solid as a.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Rock, you'd think, But everybody's in that mindset like gambling.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: What if this is the time that I win big?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: You know what if this is that that I miss it?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You know that that is a very good point. That's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a good point. And the market is you think the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: market would react with a little bit of logic, but
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it doesn't. Okay, the price of oil does the same thing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Up down, it's kind of down again.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Oh the price is dropped right Why
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: because the president said that peace is at hand? And
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: when you okay, I just I don't understand. And the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: stock market is at its near record highs because that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to affect everybody.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Wow, it must have had a really good day yesterday.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: It's up at fifty three six.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Now that's exactly my point. Well, that's AI driven, that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: really what's driving it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, now it's at fifty three to nine.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Markets aren't actually open yet, but yeah, these are six
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: hundred and four points.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: It looks like the lights are going to stay on.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: The Senate stopgap funding bill to avert a shutdown on
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: August or October first, has cleared its first procedural hurdle.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Look at this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Senators voted eighty nine to four to advance the measure,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: which would fund federal agencies through December eleventh at its
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: current levels, with some exceptions. Apparently Senate leaders need to
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: strike a bipartisan time agreement to fast track the measure
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: so they can do a final vote before the August recess.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no absolute issue with the President saying if
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you don't do a im I'm going to veto the bill.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: There's nothing at this point pending along those lines. So
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: when there's nothing there, then the Senate easily passes the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: stop gap funding because nobody wants to shut down.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: So we talked yesterday about Blanche and now having a
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: path to confirmation totally cleared his way.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: However, Trump's tax audit.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Immunity it seems to be remaining in place or with
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: a couple of little modifications, So that sweeping audit immunity
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: plan that the President it's unprecedented, never heard anything like this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: His sons and the Trump organization remains in place, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it seems that it would be only for back taxes,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: nothing from here on out. And so there's still questions
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: says to what it would be and how it would
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: stay in place.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: But at this point it's still in place.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it's going to pass because, well,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: we believe that a president should be exempt from the law,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: or at least the MAGA folks believe that. I don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: know how people are okay with they have to pay taxes.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: The president can't be audited or his family or his
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: business ventures, that anything. Up to this point, he's free
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and clear. He could evade taxes all he wants, or
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: could have evaded taxes all he wants. Man, I just again,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of this. I just don't understand truly.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do one more before we take a break.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: She folded like an umbrella. President Trump publicly rebuked Janine Piro,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: his US attorney for DC, because she dropped the Lincoln
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Memorial reflecting pool vandal case. Justice Department submitted a court
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: filing on Friday to dismiss vandalism charges against the former
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Olympian David Hearn. They say the Interior Department incorrectly attributed
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: damage to the pools lining to vandalism, and that evidence
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: showed contractor error and a botched installation were actually to blame.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Trump responded saying that Janine Piro choked, she made a mistake,
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: that he's very disappointed with her.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And she folded like an umbrella.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah that does not do Yeah, that does not bode well.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Now the scuttle but is is she going to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: fired for this? And it's tough because the President took
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: this on as a personal affront the dropping of the case.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He still believes that vandalism took place, even though there
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is zip evidence that it did. And Janine Pirol, you
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: remember that press conference. Hearn forcefully put his hands into
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: it in the water with both hands, and he was
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: belligerent when he was confronted by the park police. He
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: was rude. And I guess that's a federal crime too.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And now she realizes, well, we all knew that there
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: was no evidence whatsoever zero.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: You know what's particularly trump esque and this is confusing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Everything is on the same level. He talked about this
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the same way he talks about Iran like he's always
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: so impassioned, using these descriptors about everything going on, the
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: violence of it all. You can't tell what's important or
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: what's not. Yeah, she is is on equal playing field Iran.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually a good point. And I guess what
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: she in retrospect, especially if she gets canned, what she
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: should have done is gone forward with a trial with
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: no evidence whatsoever, and let the judge tossed her out
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: with a scathing a pay onion. That way she would
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: have been off the hook, and she could say to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the president, Hey, I tried. It's a radical left wing
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: judge who somehow wants evidence. Mister president. I get that's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: what I understand. That's a problem for you. But hey,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I tried my best. I tried.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: It is going to be wished into the cornfield.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: She certainly is, all right, Amy Weather, how hot is
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: hot today?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be hot, but not as hot.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: So we're looking for seventies at the coast, eighties for
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: the metro area's nineties for the inland areas. Could still
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: top one hundred in the Antelope Valley, and it's going
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: to be this way pretty much right on through the week.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, well it's not bad, no hot, but not
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a Schwitz uh yeah. But if you're in the valleys
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: and it's in the nineties, that's pretty warm. Granted it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: not one hundred and five one hundred and ten degrees,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: which it can be, but okay, and I'll take it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. Moving on, more handle on the news
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: with Amy Neil and me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: More arson talk, and this time the Spokane area with
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: the wildfires there left a lot of residents just completely devastated. Now,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: a thirty seven year old man was arrested just yesterday
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: for allegedly starting the largest of the three spoken Washington
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: area wildfires. Residents were I guess some had seen this
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: guy kneel down and either with a lighter or matches
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: start the fire the original fire. He was found to
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: have these waterproof or weatherproof matches on him and then
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: a buttane lighter as well, and apparently had a manslaughter
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: conviction as well. So he's booked on suspicion of first
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: degree arson.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, a couple things. First of all, those two
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: items they don't look good to have on him, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that's not enough to convict anybody, and the manslaughter charge
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: can't even be used in court to portray him as
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: an arsonist, so they have to have something else going on,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: witness statements or something. But we'll find out more because
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: there has to be more.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: More trouble for anyone who has cyclosporiasis. It's turned deadly now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Two people in Michigan apparently have died tied to the outbreak.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: The two had significant underlying health conditions that may have
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: been impacted by the cyclosporiasis, and also dehydration because of course,
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: you know, it's explosive diarrhea and it's hard to stay hydrated.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: The infection is generally not life threatening. Eleven thousand cases
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: have been reported just in Michigan.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: A lot, yeah, and the first death though, the victims
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: were head underlying medical issues, so it's that's you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that, but even though thousands and thousands
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of cases, this is usually not life threatening. Also, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: think they're changing their name too. It's no longer psychlosporiasis.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: It is now lettuce in Taco Bell tacos assists. Seems
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: like that's where it came from. I'll tell you that,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: let us all kill you every time got to stay
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: away from anything green. Ah, oh good, all right, it
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: didn't spill. Should I have I have a lid on
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: it because I do spill?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Okay, Actually no, it's good.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: My insulated cup.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, should be in an insulated room. All right. Trump
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: is coming to town. He knows when you are sleeping.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: He knows when you're okay.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: President Trump travels to Los Angeles. That's today, Amy, or
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: next Tuesday?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's today.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: That's what I thought.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: And he's going to Las Vegas as well on Wednesday,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: part of a two day West Coast trip aimed at
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: highlighting his administration's economic record ahead of the midterm elections,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: of course. And then he's going to beat the snot
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: out of Gavin News.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course he is. Of course. I have a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: couple of questions about this. First of all, he's going
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: to the Trump National Golf Club. Where is that?
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: You know, Rancho?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, So you really want to go near that area
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: if you're driving, because there's nothing like gridlock around a
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: presidential visit. It's a complete pain in the ass. It's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: just it's horrific. And then there is I mean, this
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: seems like it's clearly and purely simply a fundraising event,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: which is a political event as opposed to a presidential event.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And that's if the air force charges anybody. And I
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: think the Republican National Committee is going to be paying
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the air Force the government to fly the president out,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and of course all of his retinue retinue, is that right?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: What's retinue?
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: That is like eyeball?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: No, okay, anyway, so we will stop laughing, will you know?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I know what I'm talking about, and you should too.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: A Dodger tribute to dad. This is very sweet.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Jake and romy Reiner throughout the ceremonial first pitches at
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Dodgers Stadium over the weekend before they played the Red Sox.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: This happened more than seven months after their parents, Rob
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: and Michelle Reiner were found dead at their home in Brentwood,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: allegedly killed by one of their sons. Rob Reiner was
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: a huge Dodger fan, so Jake threw his pitch straight
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: down the middle to Dodgers outfielder Alex call romy Ell
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: pitch was a little high on outside, but her catcher,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas, had no trouble handling it so.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Jake Reiner had written on substack not two of long
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: ago that they went to a ton of games because again,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Dad was a huge Dodger fan. He says, I'll never
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: go to Dodger Stadium again without feeling my dad's presence
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: and hearing his voice. Tell me why shohe Otani should
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: never beat in the leadoff spot?
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Sweet?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Very sweet, yes, but bettersweet too. You know, Yeah, this
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: didn't happen while dad was alive.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, I'm sure they did. I'm sure
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: they went to all games together. I would think maybe not.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: No, they went to a ton of games together.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: I'm saying that they didn't get to throw out the
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: pitch the first pitch while dad was alive.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Ah sad story that moves closer to home. A twenty
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: three year old California woman was one of the three
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: people killed over the weekend in that shooting just outside
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: that brand new in and Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Company has confirmed this, so has the family. Sabrina Garabe,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: forty four, confirms to the Times that Monday evening that
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: her daughter, Ashley Garabe, was an in and Out employee
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: and she was killed during the shooting. She has a
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: statement that was prepared. It's going to be released formally
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: through the In and Out company, but so she didn't
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: have any more comments.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: But that's very, very sad it is.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: And the guy comes up and starts shooting with a
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: sault weapon, salt type weapon, and there was some else
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: near there who had a weapon. There were two.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a citizen, regular citizen who had a
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: concealed weapon and there was an off duty officer, I believe,
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: and they believe that those two people kept it from
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: being much much worse.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And the perpetrator ended up killing himself. They always get
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the timing wrong. They don't care themselves for order.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a setback for Jackie our big bear bald Eagle.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: The OHI Raptor Center posted on social media that her
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: blood work brought some difficult news, and that is that
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: her PCV, which is her packed cell volume, has dropped
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: to thirteen percent. That means her anemia is getting worse
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: again and they still don't know why. So they're doing
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: more tests. They're still treating her and hoping to have
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: some sort of answers and still you know, hoping for
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: her recovery. So she can be released, but they.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Have a do they have video of her being attacked?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I know she was attacked by two other eagles. Yes, okay,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: it's And I also read that even if she does
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: get better, she does survive this, she may not be
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: allowed to go back into the wild.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: I haven't heard that yet. That's that's their goal is
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: to get her back, release her, but they still don't
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: know what's wrong with her.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: So and it could be optimistically months before she's back
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: out in the wild if she improves.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: All right, This next story is brought to you by
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: the word retinue.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Retinue a group of advisors, helpers, or assistants who travel
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: with and support an important person. Bill Bill trot us
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: a new word today, Well played, sir.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you, mister handle. I'd not heard that word before.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: It's a great word spelling b M I s SI
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: ss po ipp I u pp what I ppp Okay?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Then all right.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Long Beach plans to install eighteen speed cameras across the city.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Apparently they this is an.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Obvious effort to catch speeding drivers and all of that,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: and they can cite cite them by mail. But city
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: officials were saying that speeding remains a leading factor in
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: fatal crashes there in The Long Beach recorded fifty three
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: traffic deaths in twenty twenty five, the highest number since
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the nineteen nineties. And so they'll increase depending on the
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: speed eleven to fifteen miles over a per hour over
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: the limit, fifty dollars sixteen to twenty five miles over
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: one hundred twenty six miles or more two hundred and
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: one hundred miles per hour or more.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Five that's on top of the steam speed limit. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: if you figure street speed allowable street speed is usually
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: thirty five miles per hour on the streets. Do I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have that right? That's basically Yet the vast majority of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: streets are thirty five miles per hour. So if you
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: go one hundred miles per hour or more over the
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: speed limit, now we're talking about one hundred and thirty
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: five miles per hour on the streets. I don't know
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: how long you can last at one hundred and thirty
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: five miles per hour on the street on surface streets,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: but sure why not?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Something funky with the money.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: So Capital one is saying that bank accounts held by
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: President Trump were closed by Capital One in twenty twenty one,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of money laundering.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: That's in a court filing from the weekend. The court
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: filing is tied to a lawsuit filed against Capital One
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: by one of Trump's financial holding companies. Trump alleges Capital
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: One illegally closed his accounts for political reasons following the
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: January sixth at tax on the US. Capital Capital One
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: wants the lawsuit dismissed. Trump sued Capital One and JP
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Morgan Chase for allegedly dbanking him after he left office.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: D banking is when a bank shuts down an account
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: because they believe they pose a financial, legal, or reputational
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: risk to the banks.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, and he only wants five billion dollars for that?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: You know you jump change, Yeah, it is change, yea.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: And why not the original well, the lawsuit against the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: irs was for fifteen billion dollars or ten billion dollars,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and of course the government cave. He sued himself, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: then he agreed, and he went, okay, I'll settle for
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: only this, thank you very much for settling the case.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And he's looking in the mirror as he says that.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: So now he wants five billion dollars because JP Morgan
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Chase just shut down an account. I wonder what happened
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: after that. Do they then say, would you please open
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: up an account? Do they automatically open an account with
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the money that's in the account they shut down? Also,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: how many other accounts did they shut down as a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: result of that? The money laundering case and all of it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a coincidence. Is it possible that it's a coincidence.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And here's the problem. Whenever you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I talk about personal injury cases, you hear me do
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: those commercials for handling the law dot com. And whenever
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: anybody calls me during the on Saturdays and they say
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I hit somebody and I'm being sued for five million
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: dollars and it's a fender bender, I say, don't be ridiculous,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: or they're be ridiculous. You sue for astronomical amounts of
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: money that you don't get. I mean, yeah, you have
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a two dollar injury. Of course you're going to sue
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: for a million dollars. That's just the way it works.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Those are ludicrous, that's just all the time. But those
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: are ludicrous demands except when you're the president of the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: United States and Donald Trump, then you sue for five billion,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you sue for ten billion, maybe you sue for fifty
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. And when you have to settle with yourself,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you do pretty well. Okay, just wanted to point that out, all.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Right, So they're very I did.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: They're in Los Angeles town now that the Metro has
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: experienced a fifty seven percent decrease in homelessness on its
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: transit system since twenty twenty four, two straight years of progress.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: So officials say, I don't know if they just count
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: the lumps of poop, human feces.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Or I think it's actually people. It's actually people. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: guess that might be easier.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: But so the twenty twenty six homeless count, led by
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority in January, have showed
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: a thirty one percent decrease in homelessness on the transit
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: system compared to twenty twenty five. This year's count estimated
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: three hundred and ninety five to five hundred and seventeen
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: unhoused individuals on them at any given time.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think more yeah, per second. And it was
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: ironically enough. Mayor Karen Bass was she did the press
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: conference in the subway in Ghana talking about homeless in La.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Well, god forbid if we get anybody else but her.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, at this point, uh looking for a little help here.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: US Central Command says we're looking for new, creative, unconventional
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: ways to pressure and punish Iran. That was in a
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: message sent out to a broad group of military analysts.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Military officials said it was unusual to have this kind
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: of message go out over email, and it's a sign
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: of the limited and potentially unpalatable options available to President
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Trump to force Iran into a deal on his terms.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: The official at SCENT Coom kicked off the brainstoring storming
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: session via email to see if anyone has a better idea,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: and then a sent COOM spokesman said that Admiral Cooper
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: in particular reaches out to members of our great team,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: regardless of rank, to achieve the highest levels of operational
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: performance possible.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Why have an idea? No more Iranians can work at
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: seven elevens, which would shut down seventy percent of the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: seven elevens in this country.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Thing, that's a thing, Iranians.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Iranians, Yeah, Yeah, Iranians, it's a thing. A lot of Indians. Also,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: many members of the Indian community. If you've ever seen,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you know, most cardiologists in southern California are Indian. For
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: some crazy ass reason. The vast majum, the vast majority
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: are cardiologists who work part time at seven elevens.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: We can find that to be a legit piece of information.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's a legit piece of information. Okay, I think we
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: have time for one more.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: All right, So Elon Musk looking for trades people, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: he revived one of his very famous hiring tactics where
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: he gives them he says, just give me three bullet points.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: What makes you write for this position?
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: And he said that he's looking said SpaceX is hiring
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: exceptional engineering and skilled trades talent to build and operate
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: the most powerful AI supercomputer cluster on and off Earth.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's two points less than what he did during DOGE.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: In order to keep your job, you have to give
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: me five points of why you should keep your job.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: So now it's three points why I should hire you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And of course you have to have the creds. I mean,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you've got to come in with the engineering background.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: He wants me to demonstrate evidence of exceptional ability.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you I have no problem with
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: this as a hiring tool. I really don't. And I've
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: never heard of this other than Elon must doing it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's kind of neat. I really do, all right, guys.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean otherwise you've got a big wordy mess
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: of people.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: You have a big wordy mess anyway. But here are
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: three points cut chase exactly. Okay, when we come back,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: why the US is running solo on weapons ammunition material
• 31:14
