  Speaker 3: fifty actually, the history of it may the fourth be
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: There's an interesting history people don't know about it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: First of all, it was started by a guy who
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: lisps know that, don't you?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, then.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Why are you thrusting your fist?

  Speaker 5: That's that's the one funny thing this year on the calendar.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: But there's a whole history of how it all started,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and it's really interesting stuff. At least I thought so.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And I'm not a big Star Wars fan either, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: am not. I think I've seen well, the original Star
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Wars I saw and I thought it was pretty neat,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and then after that, I don't know. I thought Star
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Wars fourteen was okay.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: The Empire Strikes Back is a magnificent film, and New.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Hope, Yeah, my favorite.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And this does not happen often enough because very few
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: people don't understand the value and the depth of jar
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Jar Binks and it is when's the last time that
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: name came up?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Huh uh?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Two seconds ago?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Pretty much? Okay, guys, it is time to start.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: May fourth tomorrow, by the way, is May fifth, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: that's May the fifth be with your fifths are bad.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Sometimes they call it the revenge of the Fifth.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, and that's and the Revenge of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the Fifth is a lot of people getting very drunk.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: And it goes throughout the entire month, by the way,
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: because you have George Lucas's birthday and then you have
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the anniversary of the release of a bunch of the films.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: And Okay, let's do it, guys. We do have stuff
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to cover internationally and locally. So let's start with handle
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: on the news with Amy Neil and me lead story.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw this to Amy because there's news breaking
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: literally as we speak. So, Amy, what is going on
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: with the Straight of horne Mooz?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Well, of course, the Straight of Hormuz is technically still closed.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Iran is saying it's going to fire on anybody who
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: tries to get through. But what's breaking this morning is
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: that two US flagged ships have safely transited the Strait
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: of Hormuz. Iran state media also said today that it
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: hit a US warship, and the US is saying, no,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: that didn't happen. We don't know if it happened or not.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Who tells the truth in these situations.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I don't believe either side is telling the truth at all.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: It's uh, do we have much news from Donald Trump today?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Because usually we do. I have news.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know if before we get to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: the rest of the news. Have you heard about the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Hall of American Heroes that's coming up that he's proposing
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: in the park in one of the areas, is along
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: them all two hundred and fifty great Americans?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Oh no? And how many of them are him?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: All of them?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And it's just too It's like the guy who the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: head of the commission went to see the Terracotta Warriors.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: He thought that was a really good idea.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: So I was gonna ask you, is it gonna be
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: like the Terracotta Warriors?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. It's it's insane. It's complete reow.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That should be fun. And so I don't know gets
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to choose.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But some names being bandied about, Kobe Bryant, George Washington,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I mean names through every.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Part of American American history, and I'm all for that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I think it's an interesting thing to celebrate certain people
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: throughout history. But he's not the person I would put
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: in charge of that because it's like the first this
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: is me as a baby when the wise men came
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: and visited me following the Star it just seems like,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it's like it's going to be chucky cheese, animatronics,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: It's going to be something.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It's going to be wonderful, all right, Moving on, here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Comes the last of it. So, the last California bound
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: oil tanker to pass through the Strait of hor Moves
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: since the war started has landed at the port of
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Long Beach and is offloading its two million barrels of
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: crude oil that'll be transformed into gas, jet fuel, and diesel.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: The ship is the New Corolla. It loaded up in
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: a rock on February twenty fourth, just days before the
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: US and Israel launched attacks on Iran. Took a while.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: It takes two months to get here.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, because they can't go through the Panama
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Canal at all. So if it's going to Long Beach,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: has to go around the bottom.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Why can't go through the canal because it's.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Way too big. Those massive tankers are way too big
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: to go through the canal. Even I think the new
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: canal there's two canals now, I think even the new
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: canal that was built, which is bigger than the UH
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: than the first one. Oh, here's a little factoid. Okay,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And I think why we shared this before. What is
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the width of the canal, the first canal that was built,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the original Panama Canal? What size ship does it accommodate?
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: At what point can it no longer accommodate a ship?
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Doo doo doo do one hundred.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And ten feet? Thought i'd share that with you. How's
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that for a useless fact?
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Huh, that's great And you're never going to remember Jesse
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: now because you just knocked him out of your head
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: for that fact.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: There's only so much room in there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely correct. Okay.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, let's continue on with a handle on the news,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Amy Neil and me.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: As you heard Amy talk about during wake up call,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: federal appeals court ruling restricting access to the abortion pill.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: If a press stone is that what it is? I've
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: never used it personally, raising concerns about how patients, including
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: those here in California of course, will obtain the medication
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: moving forward. If you remember there, you used to have
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: to get it in person prior to the pandemic, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: then they make it accessible via the mail. And in
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, when Roe v. Wade was overturned. Now
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: we've got this kind of situation where it has been
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: one of the ways that people could have safe access
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: to this pill.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: A couple of things.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: First of all, about sixty percent of abortions in this
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: country are due to this pill, not physical abortions, which
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of people don't know about.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And what this premise is.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: The states where abortion is illegal, their premise is that
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the citizens of that state of the state cannot receive
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: methapristone without an inn person, doctors visit, and they can't
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: be sent through the males.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And this is going up the Supreme Court.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: If I had to guess, Supreme Court's gonna agree with
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the states saying a state has the right to determine
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the health issues of its own citizens and therefore.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Nothing in by mail.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: And that effectively makes But you know, we're real who
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: really screws as poor women in rural districts. That's who
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: get nailed by all of this, even the ban on
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: abortion Roe v. Wade, Because if you have money, you're
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: just jumping out on an airplane you come to California
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and you have an abortion or New York where abortion
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: will always be legal. But if you're poor and you
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: don't have access and you get pregnant. Man, you're screwed.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: You've been after being screwed. You know you're doubly screwed.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And yeah, no, it's tough.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, a lot of actors probably breathing a sigh of relief.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: Producers and studios too. SAG after and the Alliance of
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Motion Picture and Television Producers as a new tentative contract agreement.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: It's a four year deal, which is similar to what
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: the Writers Guild reached with the studios last month. It
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: will reportedly improve AI productions and boost the guild's pension fund,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: which I would like to see you won't.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: And here is why, because when KFI went into negotiations
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: for the new contract, the response for management was to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: every single request, no, we don't care, we don't.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Care, totally separate from iHeart.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no it is, no, it is. But we're
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: members of SAG.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And what happens is every organization, for example, every radio
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: station has a different contract with SAG, and so we
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: are members. We are the part of the MEDERIC. What
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: is it after as an American federation Television, television and radio. Yeah, artists, Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: it is artist that we are.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Go figure.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: You've been a member of SAG since you got your
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: weight loss surgery.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Hello, that's very funny. Okay, that's not bad. Okay.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and former
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: mayor of the United States, if you remember, America's mayor,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: sadly is in Florida hospital with some with what they're
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: calling critical condition. His spokesman came out and they didn't
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: specify which hospital. They haven't really got any details, gotten
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: to any details. Remains in critical but stable condition. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: he's eighty one years old. It's not clear when he
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: went to the hospital. But you know, being a very
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: close friend of President Trump, Trump was very quick to
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: come out and start talking about the twenty twenty election.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And Giuliani's a weird guy. I mean, he came in
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: when he was a US attorney Southern District of New York.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: He almost single handedly wiped out the mafia there. I mean,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: he brought down organized crime extraordinary record as one of
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the premier US attorneys. And then he was elected mayor
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and was consider doing a great job. And then during
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of the areas, Oh yeah, no, he did
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a great job and then he drank the kool aid,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: and I just it's just insane.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Catch my sarcasm. That Trump came out about his good
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: friend being in the hospital to talk about the twenty
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: twenty election. Did you notice that's what he quickly turned?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course he did. Yeah, of course, everything's
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: about the toe.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: That's so bizarre.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: It is, well, it's not bizarre, and that's just the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: way it works, and it's unfortunate, but that's welcome to history.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Thank goodness for a buckshot proof vest. It wasn't a bullet,
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: but was a buckshot Apparently that a Secret Service agent
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: was hit at at the White House correspondence dinner when
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: a man from Torrance allegedly ran through the security checkpoint
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: and fired on one of the Secret Service agents as
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: he was trying to get to the president. But Janine
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Piro came out on Saturday and said that they did
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: find the buckshot pellet in the vest and said that
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: she went on to say that the guy had every
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: intention of killing the president and anyone who got in
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: his way.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: You remember, Bill, when we were talking about this story
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: about how this guy planned everything. One of the things
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: that was said in his manifesto or whatever apparently was
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: that he was using buckshot, which is, you know, great
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: for home protection because it doesn't go through walls, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the whole purpose is you want to kill your target,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: get not your neighbor, and so by using Buckshot, his
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: thought process apparently was to kill the target and not
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: go through to get someone else who he thought was innocent.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of weird. It's a lot of weird.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Did they just find the bullet a week later?
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: No, the buckshot is Buckshot is not a bullet.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: It's I'm just saying they're just now coming out with that. Yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: maybe they know, we saw that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that they had it before, just that they're
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: really weird about announcing it when they do.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And a couple of things about that.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, there's a lot of controversy because this guy,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: his lawyer is saying that he has been in a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: padded cell in a straight jacket ever since he was arrested,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and even the judge said that's a problem. And Janine
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: pirot Man, what a piece of work she is. Uh,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: she is the US attorney for the District of Columbia,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and every morning she puts hunt or her leash and
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: walks to goes over to the White House and goes here,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: where would you like me to go today? I mean,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: it's really really disgusting, at least in my opinion it is.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And more, is she angling for Attorney General? I mean
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: big time?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: All right, No, she's you know, she's not blonde, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I think and I think she's a little old for
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: that position. I don't think because she's.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Already cosmetic surgery. Yeah, she's already passed her thirty So
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that's a problem.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: What well, just has he ever said anything about her
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: lips or no?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: No? Okay, okay, back we go more handle on the news, Amy,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Neil and me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Three people have died on a cruise ship in the Atlantic,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: so says the WHO. Just yesterday one confirmed case of
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: the hunt of virus, which is, you know, one of
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: those illnesses that is usually transmitted to humans from rodents,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: but an outbreak occurred on the MVY Hondius. Never heard
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tiny little ship. I look at picture.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: It's a cruise ship. But there it's I can't be
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: more than one hundred people, hundred fifty people on it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Small Argentina to Cape there they.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Ushwaya is the southernmost major city fifty thousand people in
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: South America. And from there you go to the Antarctica.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: That's usually the starting off point. So this was going
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: from and it's in Argentina, so it was from Ushuaia
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: actually across the oceans where it was going to. And
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: the hunt of virus is really strange, as you pointed out.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Usually it's rodent droppings.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Right, and they dry out you inhale them or something.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And that's why people were getting these great runners who
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: were in great shape. We're getting them going to be
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: out on trails and running. I would never have haunted virus, clearly.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: And here another interesting fact, and that is Gene Hackman.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: His wife died of virus haunted virus, and he ended
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: up dying because he was so deep into dementia he
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: couldn't feed himself and he had no ability to take
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: care of himself. So he ended up dying too because
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: of neglect. But she had died, so it was neglect
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: on her part. And it was a crazy story flu
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: or something. Yeah, that's haunted virus. I mean, it's this
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: crazy stuff.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Probably coming up short again, President Trump said on Saturday,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: evening on social media that he was reviewing Iran's latest
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: proposal but couldn't imagine it would be acceptable. Those comments
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: came a day after he said he was not satisfied
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: with the latest offer from Iran, and then he went
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: on to say that he had only been briefed on it,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: but he was going to take a closer look at
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: the act. We'll proposal over the weekend.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Yep, we'll see what's happening. We're getting two different stories.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: There are two different wars. There's Iranian version of the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: war and there's the United States version of the war.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: And I don't know which one to believe, probably neither one.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of not believing anything anymore.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: That's easy, okay. So there's this exercise, five thousand personnel
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: from over forty countries that are scheduled to participate and
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: what they refer to as the African Lion Exercises in Morocco,
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: and it goes from April twenty seventh to May eighth. Traditionally,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and strangely, the US Army is searching now for two
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: service members who went missing while taking part of this
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: big joint military exercise in Morocco. So at this point,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: as of yesterday, they're just reported and they're investigating to
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: try and figure out where they went missing or where
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: they are or what happened.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: From what I understand, the authorities are not considering this
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: foul play or any kind of military response. They think
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: it was an accident.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Do I have that right? Amy?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: That that's the latest we have. I believe, So, Okay,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: she just threw her arms up in the air as
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: in I have absolutely no idea, but came back with
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I believe, so, well, that's where it's left.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: That's where.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what the official line is at this point.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: The show must go on. The Redondo Beach Pier had
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: to be evacuated yesterday morning. Police got a call about
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: a hostage situation that may have involved in explosives near
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: the pier. That was about nine thirty, so they called
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: everybody out out of an abundance of caution to search
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: the area. Took a few hours, but they declared and
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: all clear at one thirty four and determined that it
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: was swa that it was just a hoax.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Well, you had a big concert going on.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: The Beach Life Festival, so that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Was broadcasting on Saturday, right exactly where they evacuated.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: That's what I immediately thought of, and then so they had
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: to delay that. But then they were able to open
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: it and the show went on as scheduled.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Now, were you evacuated, Neil, No.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Because it was this happened yesterday and Neil was their Saturday.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: You're right there the land. You have the California Surf Club,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: which is about a year old right there, gorgeous part
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: of the coast, and it was really amazing. The whole
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: event was amazing. But that's the thing that came to
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: my mind is, oh, my gosh, did they have to
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: evacuate that whole event. You're talking about thirteen thousand people,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: you know, yeah, mt event alone. Now I can see that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they have contingency plans.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I guess. You know, everybody leave Neil, you can stay.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like all this food.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's return ooh more handle on the news.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Although this story I should have gone to Amy, but.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to yield to it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to yield to Amy because this is
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: an Amy story.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: The big Bear Eaglitz now have names. Of course, they
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: were born over a month ago. In a nest high
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: above Big Bear Lake, and there's a naming contest for
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: them because they are well, they're in their weird teenage
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: years right now. They look a little scrappy. But they
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: do a contest where you can nominate or make a
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: submission for the names for a five dollars donation, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: then they take the three finalists and or the I
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: can't remember how many finalists, but take the finalists. The
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: third graders make the ultimate decision, and they landed on
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Sandy and Luna. Of course, Sandy for Sandy Steers, who
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: was the founder of Friends in Big Bear Valley and
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: really instrumental the person behind getting that camera up into
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: the nest so thousands of us could watch our baby Eglitz.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Right, and that sixty three foul and submissions. The number
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: two that came in were entree and dessert. Now there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever eaten bald eagle. I mean,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: there is just something about bald Yeah, it's still a
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: little bit of a very interesting taste.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I really like it a lot.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: I voted for.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Amy and King, and that have been funny.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: If those had one, it would have been very funny.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: It would have been funny. Sixty three thousand submissions. You know,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: that's a lot of money because I think they were
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: asking for a five dollars donation to submit as well. Yeah, oh,
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: zoos in the crosshairs. At least four zoos were swatted
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: this weekend. You know, we talked about the swatting where
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: they call in like bomb threats or hostage situations and
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: then it triggers a mass police response. Well, the Louisville
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Zoo had to be evacuated because it got a bomb threat.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: The Toledo Zoo in Ohio also got a bomb threat,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: and then on Saturday, bomb threats were called in to
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and also
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio. They were all
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: not real threats. But when does it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Hit critical mass where so many of these swat calls
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: are coming in that the police simply can't cope at all.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Because when these swat calls come in, they send out
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the swat teams, they send out, there is a police response,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: there is an evacuation. At what point did they just
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: give up? Because when you have twenty of them being
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: called in and you are happening.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: You have to put it under the category of terrorism.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, yeah, and then if someone gets if someone
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: gets caught, you go to jail for twenty five years.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's the answer, because at this point it just
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: becomes it's all a form of terrorizing the public, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: it's tortious interference of a business and everything else. Look
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: at me, I would handle on the law.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Hey there you all right?
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: So Golden Tempo, woo, come on with that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Nineteen That was an impressive race.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I will tell you I was talking with Conway about
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: this Saturday briefly. But you know this the woman who
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: trained this Kentucky Kentucky Derby winner. You know, she was
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: the first woman to train Kentucky Derby Derby winner. Her
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: name is is it Servau Si Cherie de Vaux?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: She was speechless obviously when got Golden Tempo charged from
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: the back or the pack Saturday to make history for
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: her and this horse. And she says, I'm glad I
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: don't have to answer that question anymore about you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: being the first woman and all this stuff. But good
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: good on her.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty three to one. That is a you talk
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: about a horse coming up from behind. I don't want
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: to talk to Conway. He have gone nuts.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: He was talking about it because he hosts right after
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: the Fork Report, he hosts the Crest Report about gold
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: and buying as a hedge and stuff like that. And
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: he said, how could I have missed that? You know
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: it's got gold right in the name.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: There you go, and you know the story is from
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: ESPN dot com that the horses had made a final
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: turn and a golden tempo then made a quote hard
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: charge down the stretch. I can see Conway suffering from
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: a hard charge or enjoying a hard charge as his
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: horse was moving up.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Nobody wants hard charge in the middle of the day
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: like that. Nobody.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I think we have time for one more two times
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: the opportunity to learn. The Holocaust Museum in la the
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: first survivor founded an oldest Holocaust museum in the US.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: It's going to reopen. It's been closed for the last
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: ten months while the new gold Rich Cultural Center was revamped.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: It's a seventy million dollar campus expansion set to debut
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: June fourteenth in Pan Pacific Park. The seventy thousand square
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: foot center builds on the museum's original nineteen sixties mission
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: of teaching about the Holocaust. The old museum attracted seventy
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: five thousand visitors, including thirty thousand students a year. Well,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: the gold Rich is expected to draw five hundred thousand
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: annual visitors.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, is that I'm a little confused here. If it's
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the same footprint, is it within the same area or
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: is that still two different museums.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: The seventy thousand square foot center builds on the museum's
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: original sixties mission, doubles the museum's original thirty five thousand square.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Foot Okay, so it's the original museum that has been doubled.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: That's what it sounds like to me. I haven't seen it,
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: but that's what it's Ever you ever gone, Yes, Yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: that's very very sobering, very impressive.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, if you want to have a good mood,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: if you would like to celebrate, go to one of
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: these Holocaust museums. You'll come out just swistling a tune.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: It is so depressing, it is.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: But it's also it's so interesting and that they still have.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: When we were there, so it was a few years ago,
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: they still had Holocaust survivors to come and talk.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those people are almost I mean there are very
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: very few left. Yeah, very very few.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: So he's done a huge project where they videoed them
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: and have put them in a database.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, show a foundation. My dad was part
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: He was interviewing and that was paid for by I
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: think Spielberg came up with the money for that and
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: they Yeah, it's a lot of stuff. And my father
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: you can actually look him up. Not understand a word,
