• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's why I don't see Will. Fair enough,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, the D is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: For Disneyland bill because we just gave away Moore pack

  Speaker 3: of tickets.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: No, I understand the days and now as I look
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: at it, I can see the Disney logo. How they
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: did the D in such a way as you can
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: recognize it, but through the camera had a hard time
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: inside baseball. Okay, a couple of things. First of all,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you news about the auction that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we are holding here for Pastathon. And not only do
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we ask you to donate and go to Wendy's go
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to Spartan Final and donate there as well as donating
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: on KFI AM six forty dot com slash Pastathon, but
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: also the major auction items. And this is where we
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all get competitive. Well I don't know, that's not true.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I'm the one that gets competitive here at the station
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: where if I don't, if I'm not out bid, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: jump off buildings.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so far I'm going to report.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So far, the backyard barbecue with Bill and Neil private
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: barbecue that we are going to broadcast and one winter
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: one winner will be invited to join us and it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: only friends and family, about twenty people there and it'll
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be pitmasters and grill masters and food by Anaheim White
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: House and a seventeen piece set of extraordinary professional chef
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: knife set. As we're two thousand dollars a years of Zelman's,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean it goes on and on. So that has
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: one bid. Now, I want to make a point here, folks.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I'm the one that bid the one bid just to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get it started. And if you think I'm going to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: pay this much money for me to have lunch with me,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you're out of your mind, all right, So let's get started,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: all right. And then John Cobelt is doing well. He
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: has three bids and about ten percent over the initial.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Opening bid, all right, which is pretty good. John's on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: his way.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I think last year he did what is it almost
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: what someone paid seven thousand dollars or nine thousand dollars
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for an hour with John Coblt, Garyan Shannon Dodger game.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: No busy at Dean and Tina Dodger games. Yes, one
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bid coach a coaching meeting with doctor Wendy. No bid,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm surprised that we don't have any bids for
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Angel Martinez and her Nazi Sandals.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, now, well you don't have bids for the Nazi Sandals,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: but you do have bids for the Nazi Sandals.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It says no bids on the document I have, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: there is a bid. Yeah, oh okay, yeah, I'm just
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the website right now. Okay, really early, early,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: early days. This thing doesn't heat up until literally the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: last few minutes of the auction. So I think the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: these initial bids are throwaway bids in the sense of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hoping that no one else gives a damn and people
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: can get it for the minimum bid. But so far
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's off to a pretty decent start.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of other cool There's the big ones
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like your package, which is huge, but there's some other
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: cool stuff. There's some Taylor Swift signed stuff, and there's
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of cool items, so just go on, n I.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Would have put down private dinner with Taylor Swift than
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: which she will sing after dinner. We should put that
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: down just for the hell of it and say you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and show up, show up and say, you know what,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift canceled unfortunately, but she sends her regrets and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: then have her manager handwrite a note that says, I regret.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: How much money do you think that would raise? Huh?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Just still a little bit a Culligan.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Two core water filter.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: M h, there we go.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: No, but there's some Beats headphones, and there's there's an
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Omniplus air Fire which are They're so fun. Looks like
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a nice one too. So there's a lot of smaller things.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's some real small stuff, and it's a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: way for people to get stuff that they want at
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: probably below what they would pay, and at the same time,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the money goes to charity.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So it makes it an extraordinary amount.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Of sense, even considering let's say you're in the thirty
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: percent tax bracket, okay hypothetically, and you're bidding on something
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that's one hundred dollars and you are the final bit.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Even if it's worth one hundred and thirty dollars, Well, okay,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you sort of break even. No, it's a deduction. You're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: ahead of the game. Okay, somewhere over the rainbow. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have no idea what that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Means, I don't know, but you make it all gross.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: No, I don't, No, I don't don't. Butterflies, jewels, garden.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I have no idea butterflies have jewels yet very very
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: small ones, right, I mean they have to just really
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: almost microscopic.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I would think. Okay, we're done with that, all right,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and so we're going to.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Report on this, especially mine, because I'm about to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: hugely embarrassed. So it's a private barbecue, I hope so. Well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you're part of it, Neil, private barbecue, Neil and I.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He's broadcasting my house, Reill Masters, pitt Masters, a lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of food, Anaheim White House, lots of goodies, and wheill
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: spend the afternoon together and just be the winning bidder?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Bid right now?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'm the winning bidder? Now, how embarrassing is that going
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to be?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That I'm the only one willing to pay to spend
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the afternoon with me.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's very depressing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You didn't bid on that, did you? Of course I did?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Who do you think would bid? Do you think anybody
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: else would bid for that? You think anybody would spend
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: real money to spend the afternoon with us?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I would? I'm fun Okay, anyway.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You can go to positive, you can go to kfi
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: A M six forty dot com and I think there's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a link to pasta fond.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, are you ready to do it?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a yes. By the way, that is that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is thank you, it's a yes.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Handle on the news on a Wednesday morning, Amy Neil
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and me lend Sorry, it's not a homeless night, it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just a homeless than a lawsuit Attorney General Rob Bonta,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: California Attorney General issuing the Trump administration. Shocker shocker uh,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: because the administration is about to or wants to stop
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a federal policy change, and the advocates are saying that
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: could force one hundred and seventy thousand formerly homeless Americans
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: back on the streets or into shelters. I think the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: bottom line, if it's the same money that's being spent,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and it's just being transferred over to another to another
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: agency or another program, and that is what the administration
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: says for the most part. There's two kinds of Trump
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: administration moves. One is waste and fraud, and we're moving
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the money over much like the Department of Education that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: sort of thing, and then the other one is we
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: are going to cut stuff like crazy EPA regulations, regulations, volume,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: fossil fuels, that sort of thing, OSHA rules, those they
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: want to just get rid of.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: This is simply this program.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And this is the Continuum of Care program that sends
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: money to local governments and nonprofits to fight homelessness.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And the administration wants to.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Do away with that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And we don't know if the money is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Just simply going to disappear or parts of it, or
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: just policy changes, or it's going to be cut. Oh
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: here's one amy.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Lifeline. Maybe on the way. The White House is circulating
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a proposal to extend Obamacare subsidies for two years. Of
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: course they're supposed to run out. The subsidies were what
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the Democrats dug their heels in. That's why they said
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: that they were behind that government shutdown. They didn't get
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: those subsidies extended. But now the White House is saying, yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: we might extend them while we work at looking, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: on ways to fix Obamacare.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Now, can you imagine the shutdown? Sorry about that, phone drops.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The shutdown would have been for nought. The Dems said,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we are there, We're willing to shut down the government
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: based on the fact that we want those Obamacare extensions
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and Republicans though, we're not going to talk about it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: until we get the shut down.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Well, in reality, maybe the Republicans are right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They're being forced to talk about it and extend the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Obamacare subsidies. This is where I think the Trump administration
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans are realizing they've got an uphill battle. They allow
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: these subsidies to fall apart or they are going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: sunset at the end of the year, and if there
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: isn't a replacement, the political backlash is going to be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: extraordinary and it's going to cost them real strong politically.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: For example, the administration's position prices have dropped. You're paying
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: less money to live than you were when Joe Biden
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was president.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Why was the sunset written into it? Anyways, A lot.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Of laws have sunsets. A lot of laws have sunsets
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: because they just do. Because what happens is.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: So it was written with the knowledge that if yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: well now with two things.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: When we're written with a knowledge that it does sunset,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but it never does sunset. Laws have a way of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: being extended. And then there are parts of the legislators
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Republicans that didn't like it in the first place, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they voted in favor of it. If it's sunset, it say, Okay,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we don't like it, but as long as it's only
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: good for two years, or three years, or five years,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes ten years, will allow it to happen. So those
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: are the reasons that sunset laws are passed for political purposes,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and so we'll see what happens.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: There are some exceptions here.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: In terms of the amount of money that you have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to earn in order to qualify for Obamacare subsidies. But
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: for the most part, it looks like the Republicans are
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: realizing this is one hot hot potato that if twenty
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: million people lose their insurance, that's not going to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a good thing, especially for the midterms.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, something Trump doesn't like.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: You might get probed ew FBI probing Democrats ew so
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: lawmakers who appear in social media videos. We talked about
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: this a little bit yesterday, as far as Democratic Senator
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Mark Kelly of Arizona that the FBI has contacted them
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and begins scheduling interviews and inqurees into the matter. Of course,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition and said
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: it is punishable by death.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's an interesting one. First of all, the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: FBI and the Pentagon are investigating them, and I don't
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: know what they're to investigate.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Did you do this, yep, I sure did. Here's the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: video that I did. You say that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Members of the military should not follow orders that are illegal?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yep I said that. Okay, in investigation over, I don't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: know what else they can do. Now this one gets
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: really interesting and I want to spend just a minute
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: talking about it. They are accused of sedition, which is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: aiding or betting the overthrow of the United States of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: America right or becoming well, are accused of aligning themselves
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: with the enemy of the United States.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And so what they said is do.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Not follow You cannot follow orders if you're in the military,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: if they are illegal orders. It's all they said. Didn't
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: say anything else. So they're being prosecuted your honor. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if they call military judges your honor, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: your military board. And you have an army who is
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: now prosecuting only Mark Kelly because he's the one that
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can be brought up because he can be reinstated. But
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he's the only one that would be subject to a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: court martial.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Did you say this? Yes?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And is this sedition? O?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, let me quote from the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: which is law which says that a soldier must not
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: follow in illegal order. They quoted from the Uniform Code
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of Military Justice.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Now, what does the judge say to that. I don't
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: believe the quote? Well here it is right here. See
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: on the board. It's going to be a tough row.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Are they going to court martial him? Of course not.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And the argument is going to be if you say anything,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: no matter if it's legal or not, and you're against
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the president or the administration, you are going to get
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: nailed if you do overthrow the government or try to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: for the purpose of putting in administration without elections. That works, fine,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: That is not sedition. But telling people legally, for example,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you must follow the constitution and in this case, if
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you are ordered to do something illegal by the military,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you must not do it. Now, the devil's in the details.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Who decides what's illegal and what is not? And can
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you be tried for doing something that should be illegal
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: or has been determined to be Yeah, But simply saying
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: simply quoting from the law that sedition anyway, that's I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: find this fascinating. So this is all going to go
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: no place. By the way, it's all political posturing. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: guarantee you all right, moving ahead. Sorry, I took a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: lot of time on that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: It's about to cost a lot more to spend the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: day out in nature. Starting January first, non residents without
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: an annual pass are going to pay one hundred dollars
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: per person fee to get into eleven of the most
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: visited national parks, in additional to the standard entrance fee.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Interior Secretary Doug Bergham says these policies ensure that US taxpayers,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: who already support the national park system continue to enjoy
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: maintaining and improving our parks for future generations.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be a little stiff for a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people. Big sign up there, one hundred dollars feet.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Pretend it's just a cheaper Disneyland.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: But so it's not for US residents. It's really international
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: foreign residents.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But foreign residents are still going to pay one.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Hundred bucks a person to get into a national parks.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for that's for non residents.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's for people who are not I think is it
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: non residence I guess of the United States. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it was.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I thought it was like non residents of states. But
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: it looks like in region international parks.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are national parks in certain parks in some
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: parts doesn't don't don't cost you a dying to get in.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Only the ones that are the most the most popular
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: are the ones that cost you money to get in.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Some parts you need reservations to get into.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I think you still do. Are you at one point
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: needed to have reservations for Yosemite?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Uh? I think there are, Well, there are several parks
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that you do need reservations that are overrun with people.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: All right, So fifteen dollars or fifteen percent rather budget
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: increases what the LA Fire Department is requesting. They're looking
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: over to their budget of more than one billion for
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the coming year, and they have a legitimate argument they
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: need the additional fund funding because wildfires. It's like the
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: one that we saw in January with Pacific Palisades and
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: of course eatn Area.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's basically insurance. You pay for insurance and a billion
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: dollars extra, I mean, is a bucket of money. Well,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they want a billion total for the coming year, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that includes a fifteen percent increase. A lot of money
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: can afford it until a fire hits. Then all of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a sudden, gee, we wish we had always.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Going to be more expensive. If you don't have it,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: no kidding.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You spend a fortune on your home insurance, fire insurance,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of money until your house burns down. Then
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: it's not a lot of money. And that's the case.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Although where is the city got to get the money?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: There ain't no money to get here, so it's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Well, there's tons of money for the homeless that haven't
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: been spent properly.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: So can't we dig into that. Well, you say it
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: hasn't been spent properly? Are you talking?
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Has been spent properly?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You talk to the homeless advocates and the only issue
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: with the issue the homeless population is you haven't spent
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: enough money.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: That's the only problem. Not to mention they're lighting a
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: good number of the fires.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Uh went only for heat.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Because they're not getting enough money for their heating systems.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Because you know how expensive to heat up a tent
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is in the winter.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Oh and it's my turn. Okay, so poor people apparently
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: love soup. This is interesting. So Robert Garza was a
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: cybersecurity analyst for the Campbell Suit Company. It's now Campbell's company.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: It used to be Campbell Soup Company. He filed a
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: racial discrimination and racial harassment lawsuit. He alleges that during
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: a meeting last November with a company's vice president of
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: information technology that Martin Bally, the executive, said that Campbell's
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: food is highly processed food for poor people. And then
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: he went on and apparently said some expletives and said
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I don't eat that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the lawsuit. But there's a recording. There's a recording.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I wait a second, I don't get it. How is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: that racist?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Well, because it says it's for poor people, so apparently
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: they assume that all poor people.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, the racism is about Indian workers at the company.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: He made a reference to Indian workers.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, he called them idiots, yeah, and said he didn't
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: like working with Indians.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Right, Ah, Yeah, there we go.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: He said, I don't buy efine Campbell's products barely anymore.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And I love this. He went on to say, when
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he looks at a can of Campbell's soup, he thinks
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: it contains bio engin near meat. Best quote I have
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: heard in a long time. I don't eat an f
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: n piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Do you now? That is? If you look at a
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: can of campbell soup under ingredients there it is parts
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: of a three D printer right on the soup. So
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: at least they're being honest about it. They're not coming
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: from a three D printer.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Also, it's is this soup regional?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: You know certain parts of the country, like Costco sells
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: regional soup, So in the South, for example, it's a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: possum soup, but the possum is past its due date.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Road kill possum. Never mind, that didn't work.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a regular like fresh fresh possum.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fresh road kill possum is allowed, but three week
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: old road kill possum is not. Moving on.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: We have slowly moved ourselves away from the addiction of tobacco,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: only to be let down another path. And this is
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: meta YouTube, TikTok and snapchat apparently knew exactly how addictive
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: their platforms can be to teens, and they target the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: teams anyway. So these allegations come from a group of
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: school districts and they are putting together a lawsuit against
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the social media giants.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And this happened. This comes from.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Insights that the companies have internal documentation that these site
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: new were problematic and that they knew that Instagram and
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: the like are a drug, and they're basically pushing them yes.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Like big young people. It's like big.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Tobacco saying that nicotine is okay for you. We're gonna
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: have a story about this is seven fifty, by the way,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and we're going to try something that's going to be
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: kind of fun. I'm going to go on there and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: start a chat with one of these I guess characters
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that the AI program creates, and we're going to see
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna sort of pretend I'm a teenager.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Well I don't even have to pretend.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: But this has nothing to do with AI. This is
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: no it's all about AI.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It's not about AI.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It's all about about the It's all it's about the algorithm.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Because this predates the use of AI.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Oh you know these are AI companions that are created
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: by this company character dot Ai.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And that is the problem in there, confusing different stories.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: This this story is not about that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, never mind, Well anyway, we're gonna do it anyway. Okay,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: how unusual I'm confusing, confusing different stories. Okay, fair enough.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So I got very excited about our story.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: At seven fifty. Never mind, everybody.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: You want wonder why it's at five grand? Go ahead, Okay,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: moving ahead.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: People might not like organized religion, but they apparently still believe.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Bible sales up eleven percent this year over twenty twenty four,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: part of a continuing boom in Bible sales. Sales have
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: been increasing since twenty twenty one, and that includes two
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: point four million Bibles sold in September of this year
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: as part of a surge coinciding with the assassination of
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's almost counterint itve, isn't it. Organized religion is decreasing,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: But then again, organized religion religion in itself, I don't
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: think is decreasing. Although Neil, this is your wheelhouse. Are
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: we seeing more and more people that are not religious
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: at all? Not Bible religious. They believe in spirituality and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: dancing around bushes and hanging on to each other and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: singing kumbaya.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Whatever spiritual people do, people will always buy the Bible.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I think that there were more religious than ever, just
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: not God focused. We're religious in our politics, were religious
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: in other thoughts and things that we do. But the
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Bible has always been kind of a big deal.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It doesn't and the sales of Bibles have been growing.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I mean it's people read what they want and they
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: leave out what they want, and so it doesn't matter.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Or is w C Fields you say, looking for loopholes,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Looking for loopholes.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, giant pink, giant print, King James version is a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: gift Bible m.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: King Jimmy popular guy.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, finally, it's illegal to kill women in Italy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Why is that a headline, he's not quite the headline. Well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: it's just a few kill women.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: It's an enhanced crime femicide, and that gives you life
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in prison. I've it's like infanticide, killing of children.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but isn't it just killing a person?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Is not? No?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Not no no no.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: For example, if I kill you and there's a racial
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: racial component, there's a hate crime. That's an enhanced version.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: It's beyond just the initial crime. It's more so. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: so this is femicide now in terms of gay people,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that has always been enhanced version. You know, homocide, it's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: always been a crime.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Mm if if they're effeminate, would it be a femiscide, Well.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: It is, it's femoside.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Oh you're saying if the the people commit homocide.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Also, Italy's parliament yesterday approved this law.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think there's ever been a Yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: first time I've heard of this.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Killing is wrong.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Well, now it's beyond that because women are treated the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: way they're treated. I mean women are not treated well
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: societally speaking, and from the United States where it's just
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: straight out discrimination to other places in the world where
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: women are truly chattel, they are simply property. And this
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: coincides with the International Day for the International for the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Elimination of Violence against Women, which is a big deal
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the issue of violence against women.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: In Italy.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Italy happens to be the country that's doing this. Yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: but is do they have a problem. I think every
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: country has a problem. Ask a woman out there, you know, Well,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: let me ask amy, do you think there's a problem
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: about women being treated.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Differently than men.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: In what regard in general just women or not. Men
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: are given advantage of women and across the board, and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in this case we're talking about criminally speaking, but just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in general, women just aren't treated the same.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: That's that's a given at least I think. So do
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: you agree or disagree? Sure, thank you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: That helps a lot and I would agree with that,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: thank you very much.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Oh no, No, you pretend to be a woman most
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: much of the time, and what.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You're feeling not that there's anything wrong with that.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's enough of that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Moving on.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: San Clementi has come up with a way to save
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: its beaches. They want to use nature based solutions. So
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a plan has been presented to city officials to figure
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: out how to address the shrinking shoreline. So they want
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: to make a man made surf break. The councils voting
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: on it or voted on it to submit the final report.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: But what does it actually say to do They just
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: they want to put more sand in.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little technical, I think, but they call
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it opportunistic sand that comes in and looking for and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it goes out. Yeah, and it looks goes out and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: goes in from what I understand, and trying to keep
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it in. It goes in, they don't let it out.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: It's uh.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: They should call it the opportunistic severe tire damage philosophy
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of sand. You can go in one way, but you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: can't go out the other way. You know, the tire
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: damage little signs, you know, those little spikes that go
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: into parking lots.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, do not back up.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm telling you.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: See, there's the analogy there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: You gore cubic yards of sand a year, okay, placed
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: on the shoreline.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: All right, So you have airline workers but not pilots.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: You've got the catering folks that allege unsafe conditions their work,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and they're protesting near La X.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Now this is.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Pretty big time to be protesting there at the airport
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: because you've got a holiday going down.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think people would mind if.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: If caterers, the food people on planes don't show up.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well then you would just you just would.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And they're not on planes with people that produce the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: meals on the plane. You can fly with you know,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not fun, but it can give you well,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: actually they do give you these little bags of peanuts
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and that's your food. But these are the people that
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: work for the companies in this particular company, catering companies
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that supply food the meals.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Very hard work and I'm just implying it's not always
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: the best.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I know, I understand. And the companies called
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the flying Food Group, and that's a reference to the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: food itself flying out of your mouth. I wouldn't call
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it flying food group. That's not a good name for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a company. And you don't want the pilots, and you
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: don't want the pilots to eat that food if it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: flying food. Anyway, they're striking or they're alleging unsafe working conditions.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Could raccoons be the next cats? So apparently, urban raccoons
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: may be evolving a shorter snout, which is a key
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: physical trait of pets and other domesticated animals. It could
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: be the first signs of domestication in its earliest stages.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be fun?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I love raccoons almost.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: They are so cute.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: When they claw your eyeballs out of your face. That's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: all they do is say hello.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Don't used to too?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I tell people that rescue animals and raccoons and they
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: are mean.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I know, but they're saying, this could be the first
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: stage of domestication. We won't be around to see it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is hundreds of thousands of
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: years and we can't actually see it now.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: If you look at it, look at your small toe.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And if I heard scientists talk about your small toe
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: which is now evolving into the other toe as it
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: sort of creeping together because we don't run as much
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: as we do. We don't go for days and days
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: where we needed all of our toes, and it's just
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: we are evolving, by the way. I just made that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: up one hundred percent.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Oh I thought it was because it was going we
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: we we we we all.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: No, Actually, I actually I have read that that's part
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of evolution.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Oh we're losing a toe.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that the small toe is no longer needed the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: way the big the way it used to be in
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: terms of gripping the soil and running and hunting for food.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I have read that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Now where I've read it, I don't remember. Is it
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the way I read it, I don't remember. Is it
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: factually based, I don't remember. But it sounded good. At
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the time it's.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Gonna happen, probably about the time those raccoons are domesticated.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: See there you go, and raccoons will have toes instead
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: of those claws that rip your eyeballs out. See, it's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: at all times together, I'm telling you, all of it
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: comes together. Yeah, it is the circle of life.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: That you know that they their hands are so sensitive
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: that when they get them wet, they can almost see
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: things with their fingers. Raccoons, Yeah, what they can see
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: things with their fingers.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I can see things. Here's the where well, well
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: you can see things with my finger.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: That's a different finger, sir, And I appreciate if you
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: point that towards Amy or Ann.
