• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, my daughter's new boyfriend, a Scottish young man by
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the name of Murray. This is Barbara who was married
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and then got divorced ten months later and I for
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the wedding. Anyways, she was in Scotland, met the new guy,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and the new guy is coming to Los Angeles and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is going to sort of visit everybody, and are you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: ready for this? You know, I bitch a moment about
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the cost of going to Disneyland, but based on the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fact that I'm comparing it to when I was a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: kid in the fifties and sixties going to Disneyland, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so the cost just seems very high now in reality.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: In reality, I know, it's a very very different park,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and the rides are spectacular than they are and they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: spend billions of dollars of money on new rides and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: new adventures. Guess what I'm going to do I am
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: going to take them to Disneyland. No, yeah, the three
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of you. Pardon just the three of you, I think, so. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm a little joiness, but I'm going to take
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: them to Disneyland, and I will do a full report.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Disneyland's always been great, you know, even after I bitch
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and wait, wait, wait wait. I make fun of prices,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but that's all I do. I never say, are you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: buying the tickets?
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow, Yeah, I am buying tickets.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta see this. You got to tell us
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: when we're going.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Amy and I are going to shadow you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Oh that's right.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: See Amy and Neo have season passes, so we can
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just follow along.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then the hit is only one time.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But both of you insists, and every other season ticket
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: holder that I talked to when people have gone to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Disneyland insist. You know, it's relatively speaking, it is a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: bargain for what you get, and it certainly has been historically.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: When I went, I went as a kid, and I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just said it was like waking up and going to Disneyland.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I am going to go, and I won't
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: be able to make fun of Disney anymore, not that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I ever did. If I ever made fun of Disney
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: as a park as a park, No, you make fun
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of us for loving it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. I do.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mock you. But where are you going? I don't
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: know yet. I'm putting it together now because it depends
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on Murray. They don't even know. So this is say,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: don't listening to the show.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'm fine.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's supposed to be a surprise. Huh.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Well, how much of a surprise is when you go
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the air Oh, with my kids, it's going to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: be a surprise if.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: You go before the twenty seventh of April. The Food
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: and Wine Festival is still going on at California Adventures.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well I'll be going. Yeah, we'll be going before then.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm gonna be going. So anyway, it's gonna
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: be a lot of No, it's gonna be a lot
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of fun. I'm actually looking forward to it. I truly am.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: So. I will give you a full report.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You got to tell us when you're going, because we
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: got to spy on you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, are you seriously gonna go? Yeah?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: But we all go together, Yeah, we all go.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Together, and I will take my rented wheelchair. Let's try
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to get at the front of the line. Although they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't do that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: There's too many people anymore.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I know you it used to be I know, total abuse,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: total abuse of the airlines.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Two kids who worked autistic who can't handle the crowds
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: or things like that. But if you're in a wheelchair,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: you're basically sitting down.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Anyways.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Well, some of the lines are hard to navigate.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: My wife is having some feet issues that they're trying
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: to figure out what they were, and we had to
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: put her in a jazzy and it was easy peasy
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: and we didn't get any special treatment. Well that's what
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: I call the little motorized. Yeah, the old people's uh scooters.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You know, people that weigh four hundred pounds and can't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: walk and they sit on those scooters.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: They see them at Costco all the time.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I mean enormous, enormous swimming with huge asses that sort
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of hang over the seat and it looks like draping
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is hanging over a seat and it's Uh.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: I saw a woman at Disney that had it was hers,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: wasn't a rental. It said, I'm actually handicapped, not just fat.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: On on her jazzy, but she was also fat. Come on,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: give me yes, and of course she was, you said,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: not just yes? Okay, I will report. I can't wait,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: cannot wait. All right, guys, let's do it. It's time for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a handle on the news with Amy Neil and me
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: lead story. Well, yesterday the stock market went up, up, up,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: oil prices dipped for a minute and then they rose again.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And what are the futures right now?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I haven't paid attention while I was working on the news,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And what are the market futures?
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: And Amy, oil?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Is it just under ninety two a barrel?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, which isn't bad.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: That's not that Brent number.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, Brent is the world number.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one that's that is quoted as
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the sort of basis of all oil.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Brent crew ninety nine.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So it's right there. And so it's the what are
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the stocks to eat? What the futures and stocks at
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this point.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Of the dow?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Uh dow right now it's showing off about two eighty five.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well we'll see what happens when it opens, all right? Uh?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Moving on?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Oh uh yeah, cancel Culture strikes again. USC has canceled
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: its debate for the governor's race after getting criticism from
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: several of the candidates who were not included or invited
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: to participate. So USC and ABC were doing this debate
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and they said, we're going to have six candidates, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the top polling, the top fundraising, kind of like they
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: did with the presidential debates, where they had the main
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: debate and then what they called the kids table debate.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: So six candidates qualified, and the ones who didn't said, yeah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: we're all people of color, and only white people got
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: on the debate stage. So they started complaining about that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: USC says, we stand by our methodology for determining who
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: qualifies for the debate, but it did happen to be
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: that it's Bessarah and Via Ragosa and Elaine Ye and
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: who's the other one, but they are all non white people.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's the methodology.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The real complaint here is in the methodology of determining
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and there's a whole formula starting with only white people.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Are allowed to be methodology.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have that wrong. Okay, I'll do that story
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit later on a wild.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Card one, So get the ones that are on meritocracy
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: and then one wild card in there.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and they're really and there really is a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: methodology and I'll dive into that coming up at seven
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: twenty today.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Oh and we should probably mention that one of the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: guys not on the debate stage is former HHS Secretary
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Javier Bsera. He is going to be on with Monks
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and Meryl today at one.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, really I thought they only allowed white people as
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: guests sign KFI.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I guess not.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, So the Supreme Court is hearing the
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: mail in ballot case coming up.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: This is one of those things where they're trying to
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: figure out win to count the mail in ballots.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: And I've always thought it was if it was postmarked,
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: but apparently some of our states have that and some don't.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Mississippi is one of the fourteen states as well as
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: as DC and three US territories that currently allow for
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: the counting of late arrival mail in ballots so long
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: as the ballots are postmarked by or before the election day,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: which makes sense to me.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Sure it makes sense because.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: You can't control how long it takes for those ballots
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to actually hit the counting facilities, accounting places, and so
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: what Mississippi did is it passed the law saying you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: got five days, right, as long as it's postmarked, the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: five days to start counting the ballot. No Trump Trump
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: administration has been against the that that concept from day one.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: He said, you you can't count them past election day?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And what then?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: It used to be that way?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You know what? I don't know, and it could be,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but then, did I remember when there wasn't mail in ballots?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: That's true, Melee ballots were only.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Tax returns because you have to postmarked by April fifteen.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, mail in ballots used to only be allowed for
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: overseas people, you know, in various countries. The military used
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to have mail in ballots. But now it's fairly controversial.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me just to have
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: them receive on on election day, which means you have
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to figure it out well before election day and figure
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: out how long it's going to take the mail to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: hit and sometimes it's late.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: You ever had a letter hits you a week late?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know where the controversy is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: If it's if it's post dated and you give five days,
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I think that's completely reasonable.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: You mean ifstated on election day?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the Trump administration hates mail in ballots across
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the board because the philosophy is, the rationale is that
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: male in ballots tend to go democratic. Okay, so and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: only and so the uh onseen ballot on scene voting,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to the ballot box, to the machines pulling the lever,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if you will, that tends to be more republican. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that's what the whole basis of this is. And the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: court it looks like it's going to go with the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: administration on this one. By the way, just saying I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: surprised a Mississippi allows that. You think that would be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the last state that would do that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Got a new set of new rules. A federal judge
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: ruled on Friday that the Pentagon's new policy that limits
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: journalists access to the Pentagon is basically unconstitutional. So the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Defense Department says it's got a new approach to limiting access.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: So they're going to set up a new area for
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the press in an annex outside the main Pentagon building,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: and then anyone who goes into the Pentagon will require
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: an escort. The Pentagon closing its workspace that has been
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: used for years by journalists with credentials to cover the
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: military they used to just wander around as they wanted to,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and the new Pentagon people are saying, Nope, can't do
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: that anymore.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense on its face, except they're arguing
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that it's a security risk to let these correspondents right
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: around and reporters. And they're also talking about giving access
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to or credentially various members of the press because we
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: know that well, there's been all kinds where the Pentagon
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: has thrown people out, and it's really clear how politically
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: motivated it is. I mean, you speak against the administration,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you're in trouble. You speak in favor of the administration,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you have influencers get in.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Now, has there ever been a leak or no, not
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: that I know of, not that I know or has
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: been reported. All right, so as we know, Christy Nome
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: is out. But now the Senate confirmed Senator Mark Wayne
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Mullen yesterday to serve as the next Secretary of Homeland Security.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: He is an ardent Trump, a supporter. What a shock
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: or down? You don't say, I don't say, you know that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you look at other presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: even Bush, the Bushes would put people in the cabinet
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and actually attempted to put people who knew what they
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: were doing and had credentials. They were not politically motivated.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Some politically motivated, others were not. I mean traditionally only
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the Postbasser general was politically motivated.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: The biggest donor got it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And it has now gotten to the point where it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter who are what you are. The reason
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he was given the okay on this, he was confirmed.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: He happn't have been in the Senate, and he's just
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a very likable guy.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And people like him.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Otherwise there's a lot of controversy. These guy's a conspiracist.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of allegations out there, but anyway, he's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a new guy.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: In billion dollars to not finish a project, the Trump
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: administration is going to pay a billion dollars to a
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: French company to walk away from two US offshore wind
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: leases off the coasts of North Carolina and New York.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Apparently want they want to invest the money in fossil
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: fuel projects instead, according to the Department of Interior. The
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Interior Department said the American people will no longer pay
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: for ideological subsidies that been fitted only the unreliable and
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: costly offshore wind industry.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we knew that the administration really does not like
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: alternative energy sources, just doesn't like it straight out. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: again we knew from the beginning that the President was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: not in favor of alternative energy.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: As a matter of.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Fact, he ran on one of his campaign promises with drill, Baby, drill,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and so no surprise here and there. There's one offshore
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that was almost finished, I mean billions of dollars that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: was just stopped short. I think it was off of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: New Jersey that was just shut down, ninety percent complete
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: or something along those lines. So obviously the oil industry
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is jumping up and down. They're thrilled with this and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that all roads lead to oil.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: All right, So the stripping begins. Caesar Chavez is going
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: to be stripped from two Los Angeles school District campuses.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Fallout continues over those allegations of the late labor leader
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: and those rape and sexual misconduct with minor allegations.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: So we're looking at two schools. There's the Caesar.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Joves Learning Academy in San Fernando and Caesar Chavez Elementary
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: School in El Serno. So they're going to figure out
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: and they're going to do their renaming process this fall.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Their resolution is called Standing with Survivors and Recognizing farm Workers.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: So see, I wanted to push for Predator Day, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that didn't fly at all.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Sico Sico Elementary School, per yeah, pervo.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Now you talk about someone's reputation being destroyed, Abraham linc
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Not Abraham Lincoln, but Christopher Columbus.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Uh is uh?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Now part of what the administration put up a statue
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of Christopher Columbus I think in uh was it near
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the near the Washington Mall or in front of the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Eisenhower Building.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's in front of them, in front of the
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Eisenhower Building.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: It's one of those statues that was this replica. It
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: was one that was knocked over in Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And I think that I think from I think from
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the quote was Christopher Columbus a great American or something?
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Which he wasn't an American for a.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Really I think, well somewhere in there, Amy, are you
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: looking at the quote? I want to I want to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: make sure that I am correct.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: You know what they're looking at doing now they're not
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: They're not going to be having artists make these statues
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: out of bronze anymore. They're going to be knitted together
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: and use the air blowers like you do for Halloween
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: and for Christmas, put up decorations so that when they're canceled,
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: they just turned the fan off and then go away.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah it's gone.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah a lot cheaper, all right.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Stuck on the Butty. A bus was transporting Metro maintenance
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: workers back to their bus division at eleven forty five
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Saturday night when it ended up in the wrong place
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: at the wrong time, ran into a street takeover, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: so it was stuck, couldn't move forward, and that's when
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: some of the people involved in the street taker said, hey,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: let's climb on it. So a bunch of people got
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: on top of the bus at the intersection of a
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Landra and Figueroa and they ran up and down on
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the bus. They tagged it. They sat on the front
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: bumper and the driver of the bus just sat there
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: because he couldn't do anything and he could go anywhere.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Were they filming a Bollywood movie and people were dancing
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: on the bus.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't know see the comments of about the dancing.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You ever seen a Bollywood movie? Yes, they're great.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Dancing is just an integral part of them, and they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: just dance all over the place. I can just do
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a visual there of people dancing on the bus and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: just having a good time.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It would have been fun if it was a Balio movie,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: but as it was, it was a bunch of workers
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: on their way home after, you know, like at midnight Saturday. Yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: That's you're right, that's not nearly as much fun.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, I'm going to ask upfront here that everybody
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: hold their comments until I get through the story.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Bill looking at you or Dayton.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: James Weber, some people might know his name, previously captured
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: the attention of ESPN and their cameras for his very
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: inspirational story. He is a quadruple amputee turned champion cornhole player.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Hold your thoughts, Bill, Now he's being accused of murder,
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: they're saying. Detectives say that they believe Weber gotten a fight,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: an argument with another man last name Wells, and he
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: killed him, shot him with a god. Now, I know
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: this brings up some questions. How does a person with
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: no arms or legs shoot someone shoot?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: When I read this story, I thought it was an
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: oversize corn hole attraction where they threw him through the hole.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I knew that was coming. I thought you
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: were going to ask if he was the standbag. It
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: was a little clumsier, but you did it, thank you
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: very much.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: No arms, no legs, no bail, new superhero torso man.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: There's a lot can be said here. Anyways, A man
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: is dead at his hand. You know he also plays baseball.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: You know that, don't you? Oh boy, he's second base. Okay,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: we've got more, many more.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: No, we don't, you do, we don't. But it says
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: that he dumped the body in Maryland.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: How do you do that?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: No?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I love to know.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: How does someone with no arms and legs shoot someone?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I can see people that have you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they're partially inmated, and I mean they did some extraordinary things.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: By Bill, I'm stumped.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Wow, Neil, I thought you weren't participating.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: And what.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: I got a hand it to him? He figured out
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: a way.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, they say that he does not have a leg
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: to stand on in this case, so we'll say, yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can keep on going. We can keep
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: on going and going and going with that. I understand that. Okay,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: do you want to uh yeah, no, hitchhiking at all?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Fifty years later, a Cosby victim is awarded sixty million
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: dollars almost A woman claims Bill Cosby drugged and raped
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: her back in nineteen seventy two. She was awarded almost
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: sixty million dollars by a jury in Santa Monica yesterday.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: The jury found Cosby liable of sexual assault of an
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: intoxicated woman. She says that he met her when she
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: was working at a waitress in Sasolito. He invited her
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: to one of his stand up shows and then gave
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: her some wine that made her feel sick, and then
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: gave her some white pills that she thought were aspering.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, like so many of the other
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: stories related to Cosby, they went in and out of
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: consciousness and then realized later that they've been rapped.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: And that's a big hit.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the entire amount. First of all,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of course it's going to be appealed. Second of all,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I have no idea if the judge is going to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: reduce the figure. Quite often judges reduce those what seemed
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to be astronomical figures.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Well, does he even have sixty million dollars?
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I think he does.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think he's worth several hundred million dollars.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I think there are some ds there. He yeah, he's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: still there.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. He was pretty ill.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: I was thinking, I'm like, is Bill Cosby even still?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Actually he is?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He's It isn't look so good, But then again, no
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: one looks good when they're going to court under those circumstances.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Remember Michael Jackson at his trial that he went in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in pajamas and he was acquitted.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Of, you know, big a sexual predator.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Criminally he was acquitted, and man, he looked like he
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: had aged one hundred and fifty years.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: He wasn't even wearing his good nose.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: No wearing Michael Jackson pajamas. He really wasn't pajamas.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Please do something.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: That's what a pilot wrote last summer in at least
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: a dozen or so reports about LaGuardia Airport. This was
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: to NASA's Aviation's Safety Report system, saying too many close
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: calls when air traffic controllers failed to provide appropriate guidance.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: And now more pilots have raised concerns about miscommunication, air
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: traffic controlled mistaps and missteps and other hazards at LaGuardia Airport.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: And this is over the last two years or so.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Things are getting worse. Pilots are concerned. And now, as
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: you know, there was this most recent collision of the
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: fire truck in the air Canada plane collided at high
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: speeds by the way on the runway.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just a weird one because the air
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: traffic controller. The air traffic controllers control traffic on the ground,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: some of them and then others in the air, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: then others do it on the big picture at centers
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: throughout the United States. And the fire truck was given
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: permission to cross the runway as the plane came in,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and the air traffic controller is screaming stop stop, stop stop.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Once you realize what happens, and then says in a
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: subsequent conversation, I messed up. Now the reports now you figure,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: how in God's name can an air traffic controller give
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: permission when a plane is coming in for a fire
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: truck to cross the runway, because they all have to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: ask for permission. Well, we're being told that the air
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: traffic controller was also working on another emergency at the time.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: They're not telling us what.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And it was I heard yesterday an interview saying you
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: can see the distraction there.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: It wasn't just a simple screw up. Yeah, Amy, what
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: That a United plane had canceled to take off because
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: there was something that smelled weird in the plane and
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: there were reports that people inside that United flight were
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: feeling sick. And that's where the fire truck was headed.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And the distraction, I guess with air traffic controller on
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the ground, I mean, you can see it wasn't just
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: as simple. He was sitting there and just crossed the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: runway kind of thing. So there are a lot of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: moving pieces and then a couple of the pilots die
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's a horrible, horrible accident.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: And the loguarde was shut down. Is it open yet?
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's open, Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that it's completely open, but they
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: did open a runway yesterday afternoon keeping it free. The
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: European Union and Australia have agreed to final text for
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: a free trade agreement. This comes about two years after
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: the negotiations between the EU and Australia broke down because
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Australia wanted more red meat market access. The breakthrough comes
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: is both the EU and Australia are trying to diversify
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: their networks so they don't have to rely so much
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: on China. And because of US tariffs.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, China moving ahead in dominating and trying to dominate
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the world economy and the rest of the world reacting
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to that as well as the on off tariffs that.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: The President's invoking.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're scrambling to figure out another way to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: do economies. This may actually be a blessing in disguise
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for them to be free of the United States and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: free of China's influence.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: See if there's any other way of doing it?
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: All right, Organizers for the twenty twenty eight Los Angeles
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Olympic and Paralympic Games unveiled their visual identity is what
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: they call it's going to be floral themed big designs.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: It's a system meant to reflect the city's landscape, neighborhoods,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: and cultural character. I hope they plant all these flowers
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: in the potholes. Yes, that won't happen. And are you
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: surprised that there isn't a car somewhere in there?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Because it starts to car culture and we want to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: celebrate drive by shootings because we're the world center of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that too.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Well, that would be in contradiction to Mayor Bass who
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: says it's going to be a car free Olympics, remember that. Yeah,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't want anybody to drive.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're going to see what LA does. This
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: is I haven't seen have you seen this thing yet? Yeah?
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Logo, Yeah, it's pretty flowery.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Huh blossomy Yeah, okay, distracting.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Uh, just what we don't need. Drug addict Barbie.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Police in Missouri have seized five Barbie dolls that contained
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: bentanyl in the packaging. The fentanyl was found taped inside
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: the packaging at discount store Cargo Largo in Independence, Missouri.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: The police department determined that five compromise dolls had been sold.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: They were all located within the same day.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Ooh, you can bet there was a recall of those.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: And how do you tell if foam is coming out
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of the dolls the mouth? And it appeared to be
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: non responsive.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: When asked, Barbie said that it was Ken's, not hers,
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: and this was all man's fault.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, one more and then we're out of here, all right.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: So shifting interconnected system of global air and blah blah
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: blah blah blah, weather, weather, weather. It looks like we
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: might have a super al nino, so says some scientists,
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: predicting record breaking climate events this year. So we'll see
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: if that lasts or if that happens. They're so good
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: at predicting the weather.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Is there a super duper el Nino since?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, catastrophic Alnino.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a movie.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, J we're done, coming up the Department
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of Homeland Security and the TSA and all kinds of news.
