• 1:31
  Speaker 4: they're just saying they don't know why.

• 1:49

• 2:30
  Speaker 2: was tough. It was tough. So I'll give you a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: report on the food, which I always do because one
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of the things that happened at these kind of funerals is,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we know the Jews. Jews are all about
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: money and food basically, you know, the mantra is they came,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they killed this, let's eat. So there is traditionally a meal.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It was an Italian restaurant. And you know what, I'll
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: give a review later on a restaurant review on about
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the funeral that I attended. Italian food, very good, ravioli
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, chicken a little dry, I must tell you. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: okay at a funeral, Yeah, yeah, I was. I'm discussing
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the traditional fair after the funeral. It's a very big deal.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You're gonna die before the rest of us.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a meal. You have a meal of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: solace and condolences is what happens. So there we are. Okay,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: enough of that. Are we ready, guys for a handle
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: on the news on this Monday morning, August tenth. As
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we start, it's going to be a lot today because
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it's been a fairly big weekend. It's time for Handle
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: on the News with Amy Neil and me Leaf story. Well,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Iran says it is not going to reopen the Straight
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of Horror moves without us concessions and I mean big ones.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And that is well. And if it was it a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: week ago the president said if the Strait isn't open,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: he's gonna bomb Iran basically into rubble. Uh, it's going
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to be the biggest attacks in World War two. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: then he changed his mind. And then the week before
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it was in three days before that it was going
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to happen, and he changed his mind, and now it's uh.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And the quote is uh, he is semi negotiating with Iran.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Low key negotiations are going forward. I don't know what
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: semi negotiations even are that description.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I could say that I'm somewhat negotiating with Iran right now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, you could. And does at some point where
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is the credibility? Does it ever ever become apparent? I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: talking about to his followers, to toi MAGA followers.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: But it's not like the Middle East has one guy
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: that's speaking up forever body. It's so scattered and it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: been complicated long before Trump got here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, But the Strait, if you go back to where
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: it was, the Strait was open, it was a free
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: international waterway. It is no longer the it changed. The premise,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the reason of the war has changed completely from the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there was gonna be a regime change. Well, the president
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: still says this regime change that the entire regime has
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: changed because now we've got people that are willing to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: talk to us, which is a crop because they're less
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: willing to talk to us or talk to the entire world.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is far farward.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: We just bombit enough along on that coast there so
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: that it becomes the Strait becomes separate from Iran, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: then we just called Iran.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Iran is still there. Unfortunately, you can't move Iran, but you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Can separate it from the a couple of well placed bombs,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: you could separate a little chunkle and go ahead, it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: no longer connected to you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's still rough to do, is separating a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: chunk of land with a big saws all coming in. No,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it's a mess. The President has gotten himself into a mess.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: There's no way out on this one at this point.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And still look good. There have to be concessions. It's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: going to be very rough. We'll do more about this
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a little later on at seven o'clock. I will share
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: some of what's going on. All right, moving on, moving on,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we need to stock up.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: The Pentagon has asked defense industry leaders for plans to
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: speed production of weapons. They've given them twenty one days
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to submit plans to drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and or increased production for critical capabilities. According to this memo,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: we must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: production capacity.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: This comes after Reuter's citing Anonymous, reported about a week
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: ago that the US Army has used up much of
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: its stockpile of long range precision missiles during the war
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: with Iran, even though the White House is Nope, we
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: got plenty.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Right, we have unlimited amounts, and why do you want
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to speed it up? And again it's what we know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Who do youn't trust your lion eyes or what I say?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And so the President says we have plenty, although he
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: did say we can always use more, and well, we'll
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: see what happens. We are been hearing that supplies are low. Well,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: considering how the condommunitions that have gone both to Ukraine,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: which is stopped, and what's going on in terms of Iran. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I can see it, but you can't admit it. Can't
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: admit that we're running low, can't admit that Iran has
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the upper hand, can't admit that we are not bombing
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Iran can't admit that the Iranians are desperate to well
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: admit only or say only the Iranians are desperate to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: have a deal, and they're begging to come to the table.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know, at some point you go all right, really,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and I think we're at that point. This is another one.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: We have all the munitions we need. We have unlimited
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: musician munitions in one form, I think he said, missiles
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: we don't have. We're a little bit light on the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: other one. I remember what it was, but just a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, So we've gone from the idiots that
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: steal copper to the idiots that steal fiber lines. Apparently
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: you've got Verizon customers across southern California just yesterday experiencing
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: all these service outages and all this garbage going on
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: because multiple fiber lines were vandalized, so they damage was
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: affecting some wireless and some Internet and all of that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: So with customers across Laws Angeles other parts of the region,
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Verizon spokes person came out and explained all this. But
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: they got it up and running and explained what we
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: already all know, and that is that these are not
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: you know, simple property crimes. They're dangerous and we've got
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: to have a better system of.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Of keeping them protected.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you do that?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: You put electrical You're like, you know, so if you
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: touch it, you get zapped.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say, gun, they're under they're underground,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: these fibers for the most part.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, put electric fences around.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Them exactly, exactly, so if you touch them. But what
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: if you use, for example, kitchen gloves that are you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: made out of rubber right now, that that doesn't help, then,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know, because that's all you have to do. Now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you Anigals to do that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's domestic terrorism. Period is actually when you're when
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: you're causing that kind of destruction, whether it's copper, whether
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: it's fiber, that that's domestic terrorism and you have to
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: enforce it in very severe in public ways.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more before we take.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: A break, BB and don don't agree on this one.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Israel does
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: not accept the fifteen point document that's the US backed
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: plan for Hamas to lay down its weapons in Gaza
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: in exchange for Israel to pull out of the Gaza strip.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Hamas said in a statement that it reaffirmed its own
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: commitment to the plan agreed to with the Board of Peace,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: which was created by President Trump, and called on all
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: parties to help ensure that it is implemented.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, they're up between a rock and a hard place.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Hamas says, we're not talking to you until you pull out.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Israel says we're not talking to you until you disarm,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and they're both struck between a rock and a hard place.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'll talk more about this at eight o'clock with the rejection,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: because this is the most contentious disagreement that the US
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: has had with with the Israel in a long time.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: In a statement that Natanyahu made, which almost never happens,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I'll share that with you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Max Miller, he's accused of abuse, not only Emily Moreno
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: accused Miller of abusing both her his ex wife and
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: her daughter throughout their marriage, which ended last year. So
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: couples going through child custody dispute and all of that
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: becoming public in recent weeks. And I don't know that's
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: that's an ugly scene regardless who you are, let alone
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: a politician or a public figure. So he's saying that
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: he's going to remain in the race for re election
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: despite the abuse allegations.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: And there you know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Now you've got the Republicans saying, hey, brother, you're gonna cause
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: us a seat.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, maybe this was a safe Republican seat. He
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: did not back down, even though the Republican Party said
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you've got to back down, You've got to resign. He said, no,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you've got to drop out of the way. He says,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: absolutely not. I'm innocent, and I'm going to go forward,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and his name is going to be on the ballot,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: come hell or high water. Now he went past the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: date on the timeline in which he would have resigned
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and they would have the opportunity to name someone else.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And now that seat is in play, which is going
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to be rather interesting. Do you vote? Do the people
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: vote for a guy who has these kinds of accusations
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And how much is the republic of the Republican Party,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: how much money do they pour into this particular race
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: with him as the candidate. It's gonna be very interesting.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: There's some weird politics going on today. But then welcome
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to weird politics going on today.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: President Biden's battle is getting tougher and an interview over
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: the weekend on BBC, Hunter Biden said that his dad's
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: cancer has spread and metastasized into his bones. He says
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: it's very painful and debilitating. The former president revealed his
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: cancer diagnosis in May of twenty twenty five, less than
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: four months after he left office.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the pain in bone cancer is extraordinary pain wise,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: is one of the worst cancers you can get. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it's terminal obviously because it's metastasized and has spread to
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: other organs, the bone in particular. So he obviously is
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: not long for this world. And he still says I'm
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: going to stay. I'm going to stay in the hot seat.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I'll be there giving a political discourse. And he will.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: There's no question about that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Well, handle you always talk about that. Trump is going
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: to not go quietly into the good night after he
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: leaves office. He's going to be a part of things.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Obama seems to be more active than any other president
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: president prior that I can remember. On the other side
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: of things, Obama now talking with both l SI Ed
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: and also talking with Miss Stevens this past week in
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: regards to bringing the party back together. He seems very
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: very hands on.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: He has become that way because he is genuinely frightened
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: of what Trump will do and has done in his power.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And I think he.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Should be frightened of what the Democratic Party is becoming
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: because they are separating too into factions.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: They are and that is a real problem because now
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you have these quote progressives who are the Democratic Party
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: is swinging to a great extent. You've got the progressive
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: part of it. This is the playbook that the MAGA
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: folks and the right wing, hard right wing where they
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: co opted the party. There is no question now you're
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: seeing the same thing with a Democratic Party going the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: other way.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Cautionary tail.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I think we should have you know, it's gotten to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the point where I think the winner is going to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: be a moderate. At some point we are, as those
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: of us who are independents, say, you know what, I'm
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: done with one side the other, with this pendulum swinging
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: so so far in either direction, when do we sit down?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And the problem is l Saied is not a moderate.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Who he was running against is a moderate Democrat. But
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that doesn't seem to fly, does it? And this does
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: not do well by the way Stevens was the one
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: he was running against. And this does not do well
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: because I think independence are not going to vote for
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: l sied. They're going to go a wait, we don't.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: We don't want a left wing, hardcore left wing representative
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: or government in play. It's really interesting.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk is infiltrating the cell phone industry. Musk said
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: during a recent earnings call that Starlink's terrestrial cellular network
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: will probably offer better connectivity and higher bandwidth than cellular
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: providers like T Mobile, Verizon, and AT and T. Musk
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: went so far as to say that he envisioned Starlink
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: will ultimately deliver a majority of the world's Internet. Of course,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: that's a big threat to the US mobile operators like
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: AT and T, Verizon and T Mobile. T Mobile CEO saying,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: what's the gap that he's looking to serve? And he
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: wants they want to know why?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Interesting? Yeah, here is the quote. I love this from
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the CEO three Ny Gopanian or gopol On Gopolon He said,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I always prefer starting these conversations after your quote, what
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: is the gap in the market that are looking to serve?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I always prefer starting conversations with the customer. Why would
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: a customer buy a new cellular service. Where do they go?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: What's their differentiation? Is that what you're doing your commercials
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: when you want to switch you're asking people to switch services.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Why would you switch services? Why are we better? That's
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the conversation we would have.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: They're always hustling and saying the other service sucks. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I don't understand this at all. I guess he's saying
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: this on behalf of all of the current cell providers.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Don't know the answer.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I think they're all scared. They're going to lose a
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: lot of business.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. They are because today we can do
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a broadcast. Starlink is doing an incredible job and it
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: is as crazy as Elon Musk is, which he is crazy.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: He is doing an incredible job with starlink. You know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: in my travels, and I'm going to try at the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: end of the year when I'm out of the country,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I'm actually going to try doing this show on starlink
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm going to buy a little Starlink package, so
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see how good it is.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: You and your little packages.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: The typical American paycheck this is good news has grown
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: faster since twenty nineteen than any stretch since the early
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: nineteen eighties. However, it comes the bad news. Brice has
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: climbed nearly as fast. So consumer costs rose thirty percent.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: The rays basically went up about thirty eight percent, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: so it's eating it. So you could look at that as, oh,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: it's eating the money. You can look at it going okay, well,
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I got a raise that covers what comes with life.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: But here is the question and the problem. You get
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a raise and it disappears instantly. Your check goes up
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: twenty five bucks a week, let's say. And you look
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: at that and you go pretty good. Now, food going up.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: That hits you in the face every single time you shop.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And even though in many cases people have gotten more
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: money in terms of wages, the perception is that food
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: is far more expensive and the inflation is baked in.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Now you're gonna hear the administration saying cee C see
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: you have more money. You have more money. Now when
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you go to the store today, you're going to.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Have about eight percent more, which is between the thirty
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: eight and the thirty you have eight percent more. But
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: the reality is that's what those three and five percent
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: life raises used to be back.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: In the day.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Anyways. Yeah, well, now you get those life bumps. They
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: don't do them anymore, but you used to get a
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: five percent raise require.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Those those days about here's an interesting according to Yahoo
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: dot com, over the last seven years, there's been a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: gain of less than one percent a year in terms
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: of wages. And let's look at over the last seven years,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: how much is inflation gone up. It's already baked in.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: The perception is done, and I think the administration Republicans
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: are going to have a hard time telling people it's good.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It's good, inflation is under control. You're not buying more
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: expensive goods. Matter of fact, I'm going to do a
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: story later on what families are doing to buy basic
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: needs like groceries, what they're spending on groceries.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Everybody freaks out about inflation.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Nobody freaks out about taxes, which is equally is inflated.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Here in California.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: It's all very tough. It's already it's all baked in.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Things are rough, and I think the Republicans are going
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: to have a hard time and that you're going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: hear the administration talk about how great this is and
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: how wonderful our economy is now and point to the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: fact that Wall Street, the Dow is up at record highs.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I think it's almost a fifty four thousand and so
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: corporations are doing great, and that means you're doing great
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: unless you go to the supermarket unless ieven. Last week,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Eggs were a dollar seventy six exactly.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And here is and that's exactly the point. This is
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the President has used this over and over again. Prices
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: are down, you're paying less four goods. Look at egg prices.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: That's what he has used. Egg prices.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Well, that's because they were such a big thing for
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: a while.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: But that is right, So the one thing is better. Yeah,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Now the question is does it matter that egg prices
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: are down when everything else is through the roof? Unfortunately?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, it was supposed to be a fun
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: sight seeing adventure. A twenty two foot Bayliner speed boat
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: flipped over about ten thirty Saturday night near Liberty Island. That's,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: of course, where the Statue of Liberty is. Twelve people
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: were rescued from the water before police got there, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: then police divers later recovered the bodies of a twenty
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: seven year old woman and a five month old girl
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: in the water. Forty six year old Manuel Hernandez has
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: been charged with thirteen counts of reckless endangerment. Authorities are
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: now investigating whether the boat was any legal charter.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, think about this. Look at the numbers. Twenty two
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: feet of boat, fourteen people on that boat sightseers. I mean,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that seems an awful lot of people for that sized boat.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, how does that capsize? Does everybody go
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to one side and the boat capsizes. Don't know the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: answer to that. And is it says it was a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: hot tub boat. I don't know what that means other
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: than maybe there's a hot tub on the boat. Does
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: that make sense? And then where do you put the
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: rest of the people. I don't mean if a hot
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: tub takes up space. This one's very strange and unfortunately.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I mean the horror, of course, is that a mom
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: in her in her infant ended up dying.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Taylor Farms, we've heard them in the news. They're the
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: ones that were at the heart of the lettuce issues.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: That was a cyclos.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Amy.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: You want to take a run at that cyclop that's
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: the one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to use my tongue. Then early
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: in the morning.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: It's a tough one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: So including now they've got more items, including salsa, guacamole,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: and this is all due to Salmanila risks weeks after
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: it was linked to that other outbreak. So fresh fruit
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: producer is saying it's pulling dozens of prepared items, including
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: jalapenos and things like that over this possible sum Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, you go to Taco bell and order a taco,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: there is very little chance you're going to survive the week.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Not true.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Between the salsa, guacamole and lettuce, it's going to be
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: a tough one.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: They have pulled out, uh, buying from this provider for
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: This is going to kill their business. A source to Cineloa, Mexico,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: which I would imagine is a huge source of revenue
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: for that area.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, here's a company of al Manila, Mexico.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: How does a company like this survive other than it's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: lettuce and its produce is simply a cover for this
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: drug that's drug division. And I don't mean a pharmaceutical
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: drug division. I mean the drug division. By the way,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I had no idea if that's true or not.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: That hasn't stopped you for thirty plus years.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely correct.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Is it Chile in here? Representative Alexandria Ocazio Cortes is
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: freezing her eggs.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, she should jump in there with them.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: She posted a series of videos on social media over
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: the weekend. She says this is a decision she made
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: to feel more in control of my life. She says,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I think it's important for us as leaders to have
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: these conversations and she are these processes, especially for working
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: women across the country, and to normalize them. Oh and
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: by the way, I haven't ruled out running for president. Okay,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: But she also said during that.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Interview, Yeah, what excuse me? Why not now? The egg freezing?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And I had one of the first egg banks out
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: there many many years ago. And this it does make
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense. You have a woman in her
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: thirties who is not married, does not have a significant other,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: wants to still have kids. Well after about the age
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: of thirty two, the viability of eggs collapses. Sperm for
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: men viable right through your seventies. Tell me, God isn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the man and so women do this? Egg freezing is
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: all about being able to have biological children. More and
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: more people will do this. I had clients like crazy
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: who did this. It makes a lot of sense.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Oh it's smart.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is exactly exactly what she said. It's women
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: who are taking the smart choice. Now, very few women
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: who go in. I remember all my clients who had
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: their eggs frozen would come in and we would talk
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: about how smart it was and why they were doing it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Not one of them says and I'm considering running for president.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Well something in them.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, California may find content creators. And this has to
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: do with again with disclosing when you're being paid for posts,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: but specifically this is dealing with political posts being paid
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: for political posts. And apparently it's a bigger problem than
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: one might think because normally you have to if I
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: put a post up that's paid for, I have to
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: say it's paid for and all those things. But a
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: lot of people are going in and taking to their
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Instagram followers and saying their political views. And the assumption
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: is it's just someone sharing their political views.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Right, I mean that is that one is I agree
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: with that. I mean to push a political agenda or
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: candidate and not tell us getting paid for it. But
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: let's talk about it. For a moment about getting paid
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: for it. On these commercials you see on TV, half
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of them, you see this is a paid basically an
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: actor who's being paid to do it. And in other
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: times it's okay, it's a real customer. But wouldn't you
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: think that when you're pitching something on TV or radio
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: you are paid. Do I have to tell people, for example,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I get paid for doing commercials, Neil, Do you have
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: to tell people? I shall be legal?
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: Actually, legally it depends on the context. If it's in
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: the commercial break, no, but if it's in the middle
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: of your show, or if you did something outside of
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: the norm, yes, we are supposed to disclose. There are
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: times where I do it has I'm not paid for it,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: but I'll do post about uh, you know one of
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: my clients because I'm eating their food or I'm doing
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: something and.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: You actually say you're paid for it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: I'm supposed to yes, yeah, but you I argued with
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: them because because I was like, well, no, I'm not
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: being paid for this case. But if they're a sponsor,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: technically I am, so I disclose that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to have to change handle on the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: law dot com commercials and say I am getting paid
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: for doing commercials by me.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: You have no idea counselor how bad you are when
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: it comes to legally disclosing things on the air.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely correct, and I am so proud of
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: that and I'm reveling.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: So yes, but okay, on the internet, it's different.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let me okay, I'm going to now, Okay,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: now comes disclosure disclosure when I do commercials, I get
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: paid to do commercials. Oh what a shocker? Okay, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Bill gets paid to do commercials.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, but we.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Will want if I will would love to get paid
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for doing commercials, but no one believes them.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: So if I went on my internet and did on
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Instagram and I said, hey, you know what, healthcare shouldn't
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: bankrupt you, and you know you want a house, it
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: feels impossible. There's polluters out there that AI is coming forth.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm supporting Tom Steyer for governor. People may
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: not think that that's an ad, but it was to
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: seven hundred thousand followers.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: If you're paid, if you're paid, if you're not paid,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: that you're allowed to we're paying. We're done, we are done,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: and you know what we're gonna do we're gonna take
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: a break, and strangely enough, we're gonna have a paid
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: commercial break.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: This is different than saying, gosh, you should go to
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Pageant of the Masters.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I really know a good time. Okay. No paid okay.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: All the commercials coming up during the next break are
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: free tickets if you get the tickets to the.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Pageant of the Masters.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yes, I get free tickets, of course, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I pitch them like crazy, So there is disclosure. Free tickets.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: The Patget of the Masters, folks, free tickets, and if
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: you want free tickets, get a radio show. KFI AM
