  Speaker 2: Bill Handlet, who doesn't know to leave a message?
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know. None of us ever call you.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. Absolutely no one ever calls me,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: which is flying. All right, let me see what we out.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Oh else, let's talk today about what's going on in China,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in Beijing where the president, our president and the Chinese
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: President Ji are having their meeting, their summit, of which,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: as I said yesterday, Trump is out of his league
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: with this guy. He is out of his league as
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: far as the President is concerned. It's all panoply and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: it's all let's just think of how terrific he is,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: give him a lot of kudos, make it a very
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: big event that he comes. Now let's start talking about
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: some real topics and not really happening.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Do we have anything? You know, the negotiation is the
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: one who's willing to walk away, right, That's how it's
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: always said. If you're willing to walk away, then you
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: have the upper hand. What does China need from us? One?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: From US? Well, China needs the market because China sells
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to US in abnormally large categories of goods. It needs
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that for sure. It used to need technology, although it
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: is ramping up so much quicker than the United States
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is in all areas of technology. I don't know if
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you watched ABC News last night, there was David Muir
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was doing a segment in one of the halls convention halls,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and there was the robot that China has produced one
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: of the companies. That robot, which looks very much like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a human, is dancing and it ice skates and it
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: roller skates and it goes on its back and flips
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: back up breakdancing. I mean, this thing is unbelievable and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: does dishes, and I mean we're not even close to that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So I'll talk later on about what's going on in China.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And it's coming out like I suspected, and that is
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the President g is telling how terrific Trump is and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: how wonderful you are, and how important you are, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: how important Chinese and American relations are. Bottom line is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: she wants Taiwan. That's it. Yeah, it's that simple. That's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: where it breaks down to, the unification of China is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: really important to him. And nothing was mentioned about that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on the American side. Nothing just blew right past it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And the Strait of Horror moves. She said, we want
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Horror moves opened up. That's very important. Yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: what do you plan on doing about it? Not a word,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: just we want it open. There's a lot of babble there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll talk more about that. And matter of fact,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that was our lead story right here handle on the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: news with Amy Neil and me.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: China.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: We just did that. Try it. Yeah, yeah, China, a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: lot of China the lead story. You know it is, no,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but I said that was the lead story China. See
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: just listening to the music.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Is that what it is?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: No? Just listening to music? What's our lead story? Kono China?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: See I rest my case.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, that does that robot do talk show.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Hosts far better than this one does. I'll tell you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that Okay, Moving on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: La maybe pushing to prevent pay raises. The La City
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Council has moved to potentially delay that thirty dollars hourly
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: minimum wage for hotel and airport workers. It might be
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: needed to stave off a business backed ballot initiative to
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: eliminate the city's gross receipts tax. Okay, so the ordinance
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: was first approved to raise it to thirty dollars an
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: hour by twenty twenty eight, in time for the Olympics. Well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: now they're saying, maybe we'll push that back until twenty thirty.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: That came after airline and hotel businesses got enough signatures
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: to qualify a measure for the November third ballot that
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: would repeal the city's gross receipts tax, which, if approved
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: by voters, would strip about seven hundred and forty million
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: dollars from the city's general fund.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a very big deal. This is be
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: careful what you wish for kind of story. And that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is this hourly wage thirty dollars only for hotel workers
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and only for people at the airport. The rest of
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the employees out there, of course, are chopped liver. Matter
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of fact, that's exactly what they are chopped.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: This supposed to be just for the Olympics.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: No, we're supposed to be in time for the Olympics.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And so what the business owners did is simply
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: set up up this proposition that's going forward. It's emotion
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: and it's going forward. That is going to cut that
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: or at least just delay it and just actually, uh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's a move to cut that by saying gross receipts,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: gross receipts for anybody that works in LA. That is disgusting.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It's another tax on business. Let's tax business. And I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: am in the middle of one of these with LA City. Uh.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: They keep on insisting that I pay a gross receipts
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: tax for my business, of which I have never worked
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles ever, broadcasts from Burbank. My offices, my
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I broadcasts from Burbank. I'm registered in Burbank. I moved
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to Orange County where now my office is where I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: might quote business resides. I'm on my fifth letter from
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: these clowns saying please provide information. They just want what
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: LA hates business. They treat that clearly, just don't do
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: business in LA. And so it's yeah, they're nuts. They
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: really are. And so there's going to be a big
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: fight because if this thing passes, seven and forty million
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: dollars walks out the door, and that is a little
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: problematic for the city of Los Angeles, that's for sure.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, justin just listeners sent in a talkback that says, Hey, Bill,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: it's easy for China had to have great tech when
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: they just steal everyone's information and intellectual properties.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Not anymore. Not anymore. Now, once you steal them all,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: then you move forward. Well, they've developed their own. They
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: didn't steal our robotics for example. They didn't steal our
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: technology for electric cars for example. I mean they developed
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: their own. Hey, by the way, that's not to say
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that China didn't in a major way. I mean they're espionage.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Corporate espionage is insane, but they need it less and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: less and less. I mean they are developing their own.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Well, let's see what Elon does.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Well, he's up to his eyeballs with China, but has
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: so much stuff manufacturer in China. His batteries are manufactured
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in China, a lot of If his solar panels are manufactured,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Does Elon must do solar panels don't.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's working on the clear ones I think, or
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: the ones that looked.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Like that and all be manufactured in China.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Already, Vance came out. Vice President's JD. Vance admitted Wednesday
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: that the Trump administration has a lot of work to
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: do on the economy. This, of course comes after pushback
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: from Trump's remarks about American finances and not thinking about them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I think that's kind of stupid. He was talking about
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: the war. He does not speak well. He should have
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: come out and said, listen, this is so important that
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: it's more important than the finances in the short term.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But he didn't. He just no, you know, he was Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you're right, he misspoke. He said on his way to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Air Force one to fly to Andrews Joint Base to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: go to China, he was asked by a reporter and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: he responded he was not motivated by American's financial situation
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to make that deal to end the war with Iran.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: That was far more important. That's all he was looking at.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: So a quote, I don't think about American's financial situation.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and I agree with you. I mean, that's just him,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you know, shooting from the hip, that's how he talks.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And Van said he was misinterpreted. Ultimately, Yeah, say he's
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: to me. He was saying, this is so important that
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: it transcends right well.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Not for people who can't afford gasoline right now, but
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that is a hand in hand. Now. He wants to
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: end the war and that's why he's in China. That
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: was the major reason China isn't gonna do crap China
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: says they they they wouldn't even admit they're willing to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: pressure Iran to open up the straits. Nothing. All she
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: said is our relationship is important and we would like
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the straight open That's it. And then, of course you're
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the greatest president that ever lived. You are wonderful, you
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: are fantastic. Let's have you be at the airport when
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you come down those steps. We're gonna make it a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: terrific thing. We're gonna have three hundred kids waving American flags.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: They had the they had a group of kids singing
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the Star Spangled banner.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: They sure do know how to.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Put on a show.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, put on they do. And that's the and that's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: what works with Trump. And that's truly what works with Trump.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Why do you make us wave flags with your face
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: on them when you come into the studio.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Because that's different.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: That's what works with you. That's different. Yeah, right, this wave,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: mister handle, you'll treat mister handle. Is that a new
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: hair on the top of your head, mister handle, Let's
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: take a break, mister handle.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Winding down or ramping up? Russia's President Putin had just
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: said that he thought the war with Ukraine was pretty
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: much winding down, and then Russia fired at least eight
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: hundred drones in a massive daytime barrage on about twenty
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: regions of Ukraine. At least six people have been killed,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: dozens wounded, including children. They had apartment buildings, all kinds
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: of targets. It was one of the longest attacks by
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Moscow in the four year old war. According to President Zelenski,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: it lasted for hours on the capital city of Kiev,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: the western city of Elviv near Poland, and the port
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: of Odessa on the Black Sea.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly winding down or almost over right, that's what
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: he was just saying. Now, I know, how about that?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: How about that we certainly want to believe putin, don't we?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: South Carolina Supreme Court just yesterday overturned the disgraced attorney
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Alex murdav and his double murder conviction and life sentence
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: and ordered a new trial in the killings of his
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: wife and son. And this came down We talked about
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: this a little bit yesterday came down to the court
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: seeing that he was denied his right to a fair
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: trial because a clerk of some kind, Rebecca or Becky
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Hill improperly or improper external influences on the jury and
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the concept of putting her fingers on the scales of
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: justice makes them want to go through this. Akin. It
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean the guy is going to get off scott
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: free or anything.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: No, No, A couple things about that. First of all,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: as she is escorting people into the jury room, she
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is telling jurors watch out for what Murdoch says. Don't
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: believe everything he says. Look at his body language as
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: you come in when he testifies. Straight out, she said
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: that to the jurors, Wow, I know you're looking shocked.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I mean. And this is where the court went completely
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: crazy on that. This was a unanim the decision, so
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: his conviction is overturned. Now with the prosecution has the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: choice of retrying him or not. In some cases they
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: don't retry if, for example, if it's close the jury
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: decision is closed five to four, for example, they go, no,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: we're not going to retry it. This one. The jury
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: spent three hours out there and just and nailed him,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and so they're going to retry. By the way, he's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: not walking out the door. He got convicted of all
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: of those financial crimes for embezzling all the money from
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: his law firm. So he's already doing decades in jail.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's fifty seven. If nothing happens, he'll die
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in prison. But there's going to be another trial unless
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it's too expensive. A lot of times the prosecution doesn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: retry someone because the cost to the county can be
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: astronomical in these trials.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Second body has been recovered. Remember the two soldiers went
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: missing in Morocco earlier this month during a break from
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: an annual training exercise with US and NATO Forces. Specialist
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Mariah Collington's body was found just recovered in a coastal
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: cove about five hundred meters away from where she and
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: another soldier went into the water last week.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: As you notice, well, of course you did. But let's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: note the amount of time and effort that the military
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: took in recovering her body, knowing she didn't survive. But
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that goes to show you how service people. We don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: leave anyone behind. That's just the way it works in
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the military. All right, I think we have time for
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: one more at least before we take our break.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Sure, La Mayor Karen Bass continues to hold what looks
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: like a lead among likely voters in her bid for reelection,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: So not a huge margin and it probably won't avoid
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: a runoff with either Spencer Pratt, which has an interesting backing,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: or the horrible Na Ramen. Sorry, did you did you
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: see yesterday? Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, who is a friend of
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the show, friend of mine, crush n the I ramen
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: about wanting to stop people from having barbecues on Red
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Flag days. It was comical, just crush it and mentioning
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the fact that more fires, there's other fires, like you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: homeless fires and the like that are more problematic than
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: people having carne sada on a Sunday.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: You know, we, you and I do these broadcasts and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you do them. In the last when we did it
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: was barbecue at my house for Katarina's Club. Let's move
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that broadcast to Red Flag Days.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: In front of Whitey right of First Street there at
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: City Hall.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and literally put a red flag out there
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and grilling and we barbecue.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: You know what, we should do a barbecue on the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: lawn of City Hall on the Alley Flag Day.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they're going to let us do that. Look
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: at the choices we have, not much. It's a little tough, okay.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Billionaire bails out billionaire. Former California governor's candidate and former
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: backer of Eric Swolwell before the whole scandal, Stephen Klubeck
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: was arrested in West Hollywood. He turned himself in at
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: an La County Sheriff's Department station. He had an outstanding
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: felony a warrant for alleged violations of dissuading or intimidating
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: witnesses or victims of a crime. And that is that
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: he is has allegedly tried to intimidate witnesses who were
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: going to testify against his Fiancee's.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: A weird story.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Adva Lovey is accused of meeting men online and
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: then burglarizing their homes several of them.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and extorting wealthy older men and younger women. Okay,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And they say she posed as a girlfriend, travel companion
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of people, sole cash, credit cards, high end designer items.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And he interesting guy. You know, he was on our show,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: remember when I when I interviewed him, very interesting fellow,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and while he was running for governor and then dropped
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: out of the race. So we're gonna find what happens
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: with that. I found him fascinating and hugely successful, self
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: made man. But most billionaires are.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Already from the people who brought you Operation Epic Fury
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: now comes Operation Sledgehammer. So the US military considering officially
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: renaming the war with Iran to Operation sledge if this
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: current ceasefire collapses, and of course President Donald Trump decides
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: to restart. You remember he turned off the clock so
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: he wouldn't have to. Yeah, that's sixty day mark or whatever.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of controversy on that one too. Now,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: this has to do with a sixty sixty day War
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Powers Act, where the president within sixty days has to
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: ask Congress to continue on with any military intervention. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: so Marco Rubio said that the operation the Epic Fury
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: is over. He said it's over, and so okay, it's over.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Now let's go with Operation Sledgehammer. And just before that
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: runs out, you're going to see Operation weed Whacker, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: then before that runs out, you're going to see it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: just going to keep on going. So the rock paper scissors, Yeah, yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: it's just crazy all smart play. If it's legal to
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: just say we changed it, right, it's not. It's not
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: like the other claim, yes, where they reset the clock
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: each time. And the other claim, is this a cease fire?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Is that considered the ending of the war. No, it's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: an end.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: They said it was a pause.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but a pause under the War Powers Act.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: There isn't a word under the War Powers Act that
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: talks about a pause. It's sixty days, thank you. If
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: you go to day sixty one with any kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: military intervention that we're talking about like this, you have
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to get Congress to approve it. Of course, that's bouncing
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: back and forth.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Did Operation Desert Storm, that was the first time we
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: went into a rack, did that have congressional approval?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: It did?
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: You bet?
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: It did, okay, Yeah, they went from Desert Shield to
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Desert Storm.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well Desert Shield was the precursor and Desert Storm
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: came in big time. Yeah. I mean there were sixty
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: countries involved in a Desert does storm and the number
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: of allies that Bush was able to put together was extraordinary.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Students on Sandy and Luna's side, we love this.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: So, as you know, there are a couple of little
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: eagles up in a nest and Big Bear and their
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: moms are Jackie and mom and dad are Jackie in
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Shadow and they've been I know right, they've been nesting
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: there for years and just a few months ago. It's
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: actually something that Sandy Steers, who was the head of
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Friends of Big Bear Valley, was really pushing for before
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: she passed away, was to raise enough money to buy
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: some land so it wouldn't be developed. And now there
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: were finding that students are getting involved, and so Sarah
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Stinson's science class at John Baldwin Elementary School up in
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Danville is apparently obsessed with the eagles. They found out
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: that their habitat was at risk, and so they have
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: been watching the eagles and now they're taking action. They've
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: been doing bake sales and selling lemonade and trying to
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: raise money. They also are writing two celebrities and influencers
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: and even send a letter to Taylor Swift to try
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: to get her to back it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Of course, maybe they need.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an easy end around here because the developer
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: goes ahead, is allowed to develop, and like any development,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the city or the county says, okay, we'll let you
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: do it, and you have to set aside thirty percent
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: for low income housing. So in this case it's you
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: have to set aside thirty percent for low income housing
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and one condo for the Eagles as long as they
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: have housing. See, it's an easy way out. I'm telling
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you I should be in city government. I honest, I'm
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: just so good at this stuff.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: California AG, of course, General Attorney General rather or Rob Bonta,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: sent a letter to FIFA demanding answer over the World
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Cup ticket prices. His words were potentially misleading, is what
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: he called it. In this letter, he requested a lot
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: of different information from FIFA. He wants to look and
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: assess the potential violation of California law because you've got
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: a lot of fans that are unhappy to say the
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: least with FIFA practices surrounding ticket sales of the twenty
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: twenty sixth World Cup takes place from June eleventh to
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: July nineteenth, So it's coming up, and it's in the
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: United States, it's in Mexico, it's in Canada.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but look what they did. What they did,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: they didn't sell specific seats. They sold a general seating
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: area and sold the tickets. And that is the problem. Now.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I have never heard of a sport event, sporting event
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: where when you paid money for a ticket, you didn't
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: get the seat.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: You get general admission.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, general general admission is different. Well, I and you're
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: involved at so far. When you buy general admission tickets,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: for example, are those specific seats or they are sort
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of first come, first serve. Usually it depends on the event.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: It's a specific seat usually, But there are concerts that
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: have field You can go on the field, and that's
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: not a seat.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: My guess. My guess is when it comes to a
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: soccer match, you can't actually play it with people on
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the field. I was just saying, yeah, exactly, No, I
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: get it. No, I know that's true.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I mean concerts they do, Yeah, so would that be
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: general the field tickets are those just GA considered GA.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Or oh there can't be field tickets.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, I get it. But for a concert, Oh, for.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: A concert, yeah, they send like they sell the mosh pit.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and you stand up for you know, sixteen
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: hours to get in and you're there at what six
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: thirty and the concert starts at eight pm and you're
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: standing the whole time. Yeah, those general emission tickets are delighted.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: But I doubt that FIFA is going to get away
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: with this. I think Bonte has a very very good point,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and I can't imagine that they would sell tickets for
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: thousands of dollars and say here's the general area you
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: sit in.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I think the Olympics are doing the same thing though. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: And some football games do have standing room only tickets
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: at the ends behind like the end zones and on
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: those levels upper levels.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, so much for that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: The Fed chair is confirmed. The Senate has confirmed Kevin
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Walsh as the Federal Reserve's next chair in a fifty
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: four to forty five vote. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: the only Democrat to support worsh So the hitch.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: On This is.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: One of the reasons that Trump wont and Jerome Powell
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: out is because he wouldn't reduce interest rates. But now
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Trump's ally Steve Bannon says, fresh inflation data makes it
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: highly unlikely that Worsh is going to have the flexibility
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: to cut the rates.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Well, how about flexibility versus hey, you cut the interest rates. Yes,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: mister President, I will do exactly that. One of the
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: reasons that Powell got in trouble because he just wouldn't
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: agree to everything that the president asked for. And so Worsh,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: here's the problem. War said, Oh yo, I believe in
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the FED being independent, just like Robert Kennedy said, Oh no,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I believe in the vaccine programs. I would never change
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: it around. Pam Bondy, Oh no. I believe in the
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: independence of the Department of Justice, on and on and on.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: So let's see what Worsh does. Oh and let's not
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: forget Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the bench and confirmed.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I believe in Roe versus Wade. I think precedent is
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: very important. Okay, let's move on and see the rest
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of the appointees and what happens. There's no more independence
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: left in the executive branch doesn't exist. You know, parts
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of the branch of the executive branch that had firewalls,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that had independence, the FED very independent Department of Justice,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the FBI that were quasi independent where the President should
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: not get involved in and did not get involved prior
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: to today. Recognize that there should be some independence. It's
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: gone finished, done, okay.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: A federal employee union is suing the Department of Agriculture
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: in part on First Amendment grounds. This was started on
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: May thirteen to accusing USDA Secretary Brook Rawlins of illegally
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: proselytizing the agency's workers. So the complaint is a edging
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: that Rollins sent a bunch of religious emails to USDA
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: employees since becoming secretary. Gosh, so just a little over
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: a year ago February twenty twenty fifth or twenty five,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: rather including Independence Day emails calling for God's protection and
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: favor towards the United States.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That's and God gave us the greatest gift of possible,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: the gift of his son.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: And that to me gets different. The generic stuff is like,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but yeah, when you start getting into the very specific stuff,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: you start going it shall be in any workplace.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: No pitching Jesus as the answer in a governmental missive
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: and I don't if you read it. But the complaint
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: was first filed by Schmooley Feinberg, who had a tough
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: time with this.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: That's not usually other religions. It's usually atheists that get
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: their hair in a bunch.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: There's a speedo controversy at school. A water polo player's
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: mom is calling on two Temecula school board members to resign.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: She's accused the school board members of sexualizing members of
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: the boys water polo team.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: So here's where it started.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Temecula Valley High School water polo team had meets one day.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: In between their meets, they went to a baseball game.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: During that time, they had the letters B E, A
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: R S on their chests and at point they dropped
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: their pants to reveal school colored brown and yellow swimwear
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: their speedos and yeah yeah, And then one of the
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: school board members said, are our teams now and only
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: fans crew? And then another the school board members weighed in,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: and so now the the mom of the water polo
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: player wants the school board members to resign.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean, let's make a big deal
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: out of nothing. Those spiedos are kind of interesting. I
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: can see them when you're little swim meets et cetera.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: But man, speedo's on the beach. I've always wondered about
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that because you know, guys wearing speedos, I mean you
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: can literally see every pimple on their scrot Oh, I
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: mean it's you know, those are speedos six fifty seven
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: scrot time.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Check got a late start today?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: We got a late start, Yes, a late scrot charge
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: or a scrot mentioned Yes. Okay, guys, we are completely oh,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: just really quickly. One last one, ok says Nazi. Yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: because it says Nazi. We always go for the Nazi reference, all.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Right, from scrote to Nazi. A leader of Eastern European
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Neo Nazi group was sentenced to fifteen years in federal
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: prison for soliciting violent attacks against the Jewish community and
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: members of minority groups. And now this included a crazy
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: scheme to distribute poisoned candy to children during the holiday Wow.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And the judge, I mean, you're gonna nail him. The
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: judge did say, hey, that's okay for Halloween, but come
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: on during the rest of the year. Okay, We're done.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. Coming up the latest from the President's visit
