  Speaker 2: Okay, I've been to two baseball games of my entire life.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: One when I was nine years old.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I remember that game and then there was a KFI
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: something that I went to right above the dugout and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that was it. You know, you can tell I'm a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: big baseball fan, have you? And of course it comes
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: back to me and that's a precursor to my question
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, have you ever had have you ever been like right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: On top of the dugout where you're really close to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the pitchers or the ballplayers on the field.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, what was What.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I noticed is how fast that ball travels. The thunk
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of the baseball against the catchers met and it was wow, yeah, it's.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Like one hundred miles an hour.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: So here's a little interesting trivia piece. When COVID hit,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you know, they shut everything down and then when they
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: reopened it, they had all those six feet spatial stuff
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: so they couldn't get everybody into the stadium. They only
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: had like every other row and it was really weird
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: how the seating was. But there were so few people
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: in the stadium you could hear everything going on on
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the field. It was very eerie but also really a
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: cool experience.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Huh, all right, I'll buy that. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah,
• 2:43

  Speaker 2: walk up there and talk to dead people in the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: ground or just a plot of grass.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, now what.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: If there was some if I was delusional enough to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: have her believing that she actually talks to me like
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: many people do, which I don't understand at all. You know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: hearing voices then maybe, but you know, I it was Frankly,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the conversations are much better now than they were when

• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you got it for free, of course.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Now I'm assuming that you don't actually wash it or
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: sweating it because the colors run.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's pretty decent. It's a nice shirt.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Neil used to get a T shirts. Neil, what what

• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Get a T shirt for five bucks, maybe six bucks,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but the size Neil needs is probably like thirty bucks.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure excel those you know what fat man stores.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I once went into the plus size stores, that's what
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: they call it, and I will.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah fat.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I once wrote a check and I went, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: weighed north to three hundred pounds, and I wrote a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: check that actually said the name of the store, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I put fat and huge.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And the guy doesn't react.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You just go, sir, that's not the name of the store,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: very calmly, and you know, no reaction other than that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: All right, We've got plenty of news to cover today
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: on a Friday, Friday's are always fine. We've got a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: story how your life is going to fall apart. It's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: going to be far worse than you could possibly imagine.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: We'll be doing one of those boy that got me
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: excited because you know I love those. And then we've
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: got oh, of course, we have Foody Friday with Neil
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and then ask Candle anything coming up.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: At eight thirty, So let's do it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It's time for Handle on the News with Amy and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Neil and me lead. Sorry, well, it looks like the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: ceasefire is well well asconced The US and Iran exchange
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: fire at the or right near the Strait of Horn
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Moose and raising questions about the negotiations. But the President said,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the attacks that happened where three US military ships were
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: attacked as they're trying to transiting stut the strait and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the United States. The US forces came back, but this
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: was a love tap and there was no damage done
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to the three destroyers, which means there is no U.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I guess there's no violation of the ceasefire.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I don't get this.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, Also, wasn't the ceasefire if it hadn't come about
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: as of Wednesday night? The US was going to bomb
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the hell out of Iran and they only had till
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Oops?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Does anybody pay attention anymore when the ceasefire lines are drawn,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: lines in the sand or lines in the ocean, Does
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: anybody know what's going on?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I sure don't.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, So a ceasefire is still in effect even though
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: everybody's bombing the crap out of everybody else.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Right, maybe he meant seasfire likes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I think I see fire. Yeah, I think.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: If I had to guess, and without me doing any
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: kind of shtick or making fun of the President, I think,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: which is impossible for me to do. I think the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: definition of ceasefire is that there is not out and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: out conflict where a war as we conceive and perceive
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: of a war, and so anything short of that, even
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: there's exchange of gunfire, even though there are skirmishes, it
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: is not a violation of the ceasefire. And I think
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting definition, but so be it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Health officials keeping a close eye on a handful of
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Americans because they were on board that ship that's having
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the hauntavirus outbreak. People from California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: are currently being monitored for potential infection after they were
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: on the cruise ship. None have shown signs of illness
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: so far. But these are some of the people who
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: got off the ship in late April, a couple weeks ago,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: right after the first person died, and health officials saying
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: there's no information that the California residents are ill or infected,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and at this time the risk to public health in
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: California is low.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do a story about that at seven
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: o'clock because there is one aspect to the story that
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: we are not paying attention to and I think we
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: have to know what's going on. It's a very important
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: part of that story that's being ignored. I can't hear you, Neil, Mike.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, pal, Pe're well under the weather and a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: little out of it this morning. All right. Bill has
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: called this out in the past. Panel of federal judges
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on Thursday found President Trump had violated the law when
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he imposed a ten percent tariff on most US ports.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So split ruling here, Court of International Trade found President
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Trump had wrongly invoked a decade's old trade law when
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he applied those duties beginning in February.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the president invokes these laws or violates these
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: laws because of a couple of things. One, Internationally, there
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: are procedures that have to be followed which the president
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: does not. Nationally, tariffs have to be voted on by Congress.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And it's that pesky, pesky constitution that is getting in
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the way of almost everything the president is doing.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Man, it just he just hates that he really does.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Nothing should get in the way of making arbitrary decisions.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: For example, tariffs, so which the government has collected hundreds
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of billions of dollars, which are all going to be returned,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and that's already in place now. To give the Trump
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: administration credit, they are returning the money. They're paying attention
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to the courts on this one. One of the thing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: that the president is not doing is completely ignoring the courts,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: even though he calls things unconstitutional and makes that determination
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and says, the court made a decision that's unconstitutional.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Great, okay, But.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, you're going to see a lot more
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of this over the next three years.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Hacked The cybersecurity breach at the company behind the Canvas
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: learning management system that's used in colleges and schools across
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the country grew into a widespread outedge yesterday, leaving students
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and faculty at dozens of California campuses locked out of
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: the platform.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: They're they use it to access.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Court coursework, readings and assignments, and its finals week, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: kind of important to have access to those things. The
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: hacker group claimed it stole hundreds of millions of records
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: tied to students and employees at about nine thousand schools
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: in the US, Australia, and Europe.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I think you are reporting these stories wrong, Amy, Okay.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I do, and I think the way we should do
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it from now on is today there wasn't a hack
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of half the world, and that that is the news. Yeah,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you know, as I say, if anybody thinks there is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: privacy out there, anybody, they're crazy, they're completely nuts.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Then they're living under a rock.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: They do not have credit cards, they don't own a house,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: they don't pay rent. Truly, they live under a rock.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And that's the only way you can go through life.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And then then their story's done on you because you're
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: one of the few human beings and then they find
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: out about you anyway.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: All right. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced yesterday
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that she has given birth to her second child, Viviana
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: aka Vivi joined the family. She said, her heart of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: their hearts are instantly exploded with love. Anybody that's had
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a child knows what that is. And she posted this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: on Instagram with a photo of her holding her child.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I think she had her first child, Nicholas, during the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, these names are very strange. I thought
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: her first child would be DONALDO and her second child,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: this one would be Danalda. Okay, moving on, She's only
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: twenty eight years old. Yeah, youngest press secretary. By the way,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the DONALDO and Danalda is a joke. Donald, Okay, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: know you got it. Okay, there you go.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Totally passed me. Yeah, but I thought it was just me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: She's the youngest press secretary ever and.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The only one that's given birth during her during a
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: press conference. No, that would be that would be pretty
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that would be something.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Well, it looks like you're not going anywhere if you're
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: not paying your child support. The US State Department is
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: starting to revoke passports of parents who owe a significant
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: amount of unpaid child support. The revocations will start today
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: and be focused on those who owe one hundred thousand
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: dollars or more. That's about twenty seven hundred passport holders,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: and then it's going to expand to cover parents who
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: owe more than twenty five hundred in unpaid child support.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: No surprise, you know, figuring out And that's a good idea.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I have no problem with the idea. But I'm a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: little concerned. We're not concerned, look confused. And that is
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the revocations would be focused on those one hundred thousand
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: dollars or more, which is not huge and MURSA twenty
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: seven hundred American passport holders and.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: The revocation program. The story says we'll.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Be expanded to cover parents who are more than twenty
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. So at this point, oh okay, I
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: guess it's automatic at one hundred thousand dollars and then
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: it's going to continue on and drop the twenty five
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars of unpaid child support. Now I don't think
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: many people are against that. Well, child supports pretty important stuff.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: So you know, the USA Department, I think is doing
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the right thing on this one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Agreed. So once again we have to pay for something
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we can't afford. You've got the Los Angeles Police Department
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: estimatey will cost one point one five billion dollars to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: staff the twenty twenty eight Olympics and Paralympic Games. So
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this is two comes out as a memo that was
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: presented yesterday to the City Council's Budget and Finance Committee.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Holy smugs.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: That's happy the department roughly half of the department's current
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: annual budget of.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: The entire year, and this goes two weeks, and that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Where's that money going to come from. Question, has anybody
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: ever backed out?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of the Olympics. Yes, there have been cities that
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: said no, thank you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Which one it didn't work? One too long ago.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a city that said not interested. It
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: was just too expensive because these Olympics cost a unbelievable
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: amount of money. Well, as I've often said, the only
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: two times the Olympics have ever made money both in
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles nineteen thirty two and nineteen eighty four, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: after that, every Olympic has lost money, in some cases
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: money beyond comprehension. Beijing was probably sixty billion dollars to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: put on, but that was a political move because they
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: wanted to introduce himself to the world as a major power. Uh.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: But and the cost of now obviously the cost of
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: uh security in general just to cost them doing everything.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Inflation deals with that. But security is so expensive now
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: because of the climate. I don't think any Olympics could
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: ever ever break even again.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: It's just too expensive.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Staffed with the lad Yeah, but this is far far
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: more to think the l A p D with nine
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: thousand cops, of which X number of cops have to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be on the street anyway, you can't take them all
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: off the street. Uh, it's not even close as to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: what is needed. So is the federal government getting to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: be involved in paying for security?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Of course?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Is private industry sponsors going to be paying for of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: course ticket sales?
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Is that going to help? Of course? Is the Olympic?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Are the Olympics going.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: To lose their shirt our shirts as you pointed out,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and Neil, of course all right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Psychiatrists say it's not that simple. The Health and Human
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Services Department, as we told you about yesterday, has launched
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: a plan to ween patients off antidepressants. Mental health advocates
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: and psychiatrists say blaming the mental health crisis in the
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: US on over medicalization and over prescription of psychiatric medications
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: is an inaccurate portrayal of a very complex problem. They
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: basically say, it goes on to ignore the larger reality,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: which is that too many patients don't have access to
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the care that they need. She says, yees, go ahead,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say that. The doctor went
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: on to say that she and the American Psychiatric Association
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: do support plans to better train health care providers to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: safely prescribe and ween patients off antidepressants.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're not talking about over medication either. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I think the bottom line of the CDC at this
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: point to make a very successful healthy life no vaccines
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and no psychiatric medications, so go crazy and die of
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: some disease.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I think it's smart to look at
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the way it's used in children and younger people, because
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you know, their brains are still growing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I understand now, there's a lot of us, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: me included that without a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor would
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: be kind of miserable like I was for fifty years
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of my life.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And the whole point is these are tested drugs.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: These are screened very heavily by the health authorities, the CDC,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the FDA, the FDA, et cetera.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Does the FDA do drugs? Yes, so anyway.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: In the Federal Drug or the Food and Drug Administration?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if the FDA does. I think
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: they do drugs, aren't they.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The Food and Drug Administration?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I think so? Maybe do I have that wrong?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: No, it's got drugs.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Oh No, just because they call no, Just because they
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: call it that doesn't necessarily mean I always thought they
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: concentrate for the most part on food that's their ninety
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: nine percent, you know, and drugs because it's in the name. Okay,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: fair enough, thank.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: You for fun of me. Let's move on.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Tobacco.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's move on.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: No tobacco is the tobacco people on the Yeah, okay,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: moving on.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Speaking of guns, the United States Postal Service is looking
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: into the possibility ability of allowing handguns to be mailed
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: for the first time in nearly a century if this
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: proposed rule under the Trump administration is approved. You know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: obviously people are concerned about gun trafficking and making this
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: some some sort of pipeline. But since nineteen twenty seven,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Congress has banned the USPS from mailing concealable firearms unless
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they were set from licensed dealers.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I have a question, and I did when I did
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the same couple of nights ago. I was part of
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a panel and afterwards having some conversations with people in
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the audience. And my question is, why is it that
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: if you are a conservative, you must be against guns.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: You must be against four that's true, four guns and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the position of the NRA. You have to be in lockstep.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: There is no possibility of you being against guns and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: still be a conservative Republican. I mean across the board.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: If you're not in lockstep with whatever position, then I
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: guess you are some kind of enemy.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: There's no such thing as looking at.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: One issue or being one part of the population the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: electorate and thinking the other way. You can't do it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: You can't, and it drives me completely nuts.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So every Republican, every Republicans.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: You have to be Yeah, are there any pro abortion?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's both sides, man, everybody.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: No, I just said that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: No, I just said that everybody has to be in
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: lockstep with a position of the party. You cannot say,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm a Democrat, but I believe in
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: heavy duty.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: For example, border enforcement. You can't do that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: You can't be a Democrat and say I want looser
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: gun control because I'm a gun owner and I like
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: You can't do it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: You can't do it. What about the Democrats who don't
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: like guns and want to defund the police? A message?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah? How many?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: How many? Well, at least on the defunding part. I
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: don't think people go that crazy if you're a Democrat.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But just what bothers me? The hell that it is
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: just straight out lockstep. And for example, well this position,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump doesn't give a rats ass about gun control.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: He's ever been a gun owners security Well, no, I'm
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: not talking about that through his entire life. He's never
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: been pro gunned. But you have to take the Republican stance.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: You have to because that was the position. That's what
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I wish we could wish it all away, quite honestly,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the chef guns to deal with any of it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, whoa Now the next story, Neil, and this is
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: is that you form the next story again?
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: No, okay?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Why people are keeping quiet behind bars? Well, and a
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: woman who's serving time in the same place where Jeffrey
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Epstein's associate, Gillane Maxwell was serving time. So she's not
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: speaking out ever again because when she did, she says,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: she found herself moved from a federal camp, which is
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: a super low security prison, to a more secure site,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: a shift that followed her vocal outrage over Glene Maxwell's arrival. Apparently,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: she and several others had been openly critical of the
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: way the prison appeared to ben the rules for the
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: high society convict. Last year, the Daily Telegraph highlighted the
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: prisoner at Brian who said she was disgusted by Maxwell's
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: transfer there. And then after that happened, prison staff pulled
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: her out of a puppy training class that she was
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: attending and moved her away from the camp. She was
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: then sent to a federal detention center in Houston.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where's I mean? This story stinks to high heaven.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: That doesn't pass the smell.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Testugh this I hated the way this came out. So
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it happened. On April twenty third and twenty seven, the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: officers with US Customs and Border Protection boarded eight cruise
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: ships and between those dates there interviewed twenty eight workers
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: part of an ongoing investigation and uh great, they're looking
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: at these, you know, for child porn and bad people
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: distribution all that. However, dozens of workers were from multiple
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: cruise ships that docked in San Diego. One was from
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the Disney Cruise Line, so one of the dozens was
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Disney Cruise Line. And every single headline was about Disney.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Because that's the story, Neil, Because you it doesn't matter
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: if the other one. No one pays attention. But Disney
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Disney is a story in and of itself because it's so.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: It's because Disney is ubiquitous, because Disney has a reputation
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: rightly so the ultimate family adventure and the ultimate family market.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I get all of that, and it's based my eyebrow.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: But still it's a little disingenuous. If you say seven
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: cruise ships dozens and one found on Disney Cruise Line. Fine,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: but it was just like it seemed like that. It
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: was Disney Cruise Line was rated and they all came
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: from there. That's how it originally read.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: That's all okay, how about the sweet you can get
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: to Mickey and Minnie on their first date.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It's the matter with you plenty. Why do you hate
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: happiness so much?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm sure happy because happiness is unhappy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, unhappiness is happy in my life.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Although I will tell you he was very happy when
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: he spent a day at Disney.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, Amy, I actually was.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I haven't responded.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I have to admit that. I have to admit that
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I did. The rides are tremendous and uh and it
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: wasn't so crowded, which is it's always been My complaint
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: is crowds always because.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: It's so popular, because it's so popular, that's all.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: But if you can go on a day where it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: not that crowded, h then you're you're home free.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And I did have a great time, by the.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Way, And if you i'd like to see Bill handle happy,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: go to my Instagram at Amy K.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: King. He actually smiles and laughs.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: That was a contractual issue because of Amy and how
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: she perceives Disney. And that was the only way I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: could get into the park was to smile, happy with
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the big smile.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: All right, Moving on Alligator Alcatraz, maybe going away for good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: I thought it was gone already.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Remember they opened this immigration detention center in South Florida
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: and it was kind of in the Everglades and it
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: was impossible to get to, so they called it the
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Alligator Alcatraz.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Well, that was a year ago.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: And now Tom Holman has been asked about the possible
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: closure of the state run facility. He says, we're talking
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: about it. No decision has apparently been made, but it's
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: sitting there just costing a lot of money. It's ineffective, expensive,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: and it costs a state about a million dollars a
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: day to operate.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it costs several hundred million dollars to build,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and very very few people went there. It turned out
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: to be a more of a publicity stunt than it
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: was anything else because it was ineffective the from day one.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: How many people are there today at a million dollars
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: a day that the state is paying.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: For I'd love to know. And one last story Juliani.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rudy Giuliani, form former New York City mayor. Of course,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: it's been diagnosed with pneumonia. And guess what he's applying
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: for free medical care through a federal program for emergency workers.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: That's what this is set aside for and others exposed
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to talksin following the September eleventh, two thousand and one
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: terrorist attacks.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but if he was there, he deserves it like
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: everybody else.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have there's no allegation that is anything
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: there's a fraud, or he shouldn't have applied for it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: He is eligible for appride for it now turned down
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: certain things, for example, hair dye they tend to say.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: No to when horrible hair dye that drips down your
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: face when you.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, pretty much, an we're done, guys.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I don't even know why that was a story, quite honestly.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: The hunt of virus boat, the hunt of virus stricken boat.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And they're, well, we've done a story about this, but
• 29:21
