• 0:55
  Speaker 2: particularly every morning when I look in the mirror, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: so we're on and on moving. Oh, I have a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: question to ask. And it just occurred to me that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that drop that promo KF I guaranteed Human. Clearly this
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: guy has never listened to this show. I just don't
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: get it. Okay, we have a.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Sitting here in l a guaranteed humans.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: On the street.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just a quick inside baseball. Whenever you hear
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: these promos, uh, it's some guy somewhere in some town
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in some state that just does this all the time
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for every radio station out there and just sends it
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: up by satellite. Do you remember the guy for Do
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you remember the guy from Oletel six, which I thought
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: was a great commercial leave a light on for you?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Remember that commercial. It was in a tiny little town
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: in the northern part of Alaska when he did that,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and I thought that was kind of deep. I really do.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And the other thing I want to point out is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: many of the shows where they have two hosts, they
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: live in two different cities, and I mean across you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: one coast to the other coast. Yeah, so we can
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: do that with obviously technology today, you can do it
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: with broadcast quality on the Internet, which is what happens
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: right here right now in my home studio. Neil is
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: in his home studio. Heather is there at Kafi. Will
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: of course is there at Kafi as is An. That's yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: if you could do the news at home, Heather, would
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you do it?
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: No, Well, it depends.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: I would do maybe this at home because I don't
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: like coming in at three in the morning, but I
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: don't think I would do as good of a job
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: because I need there's too many moving parts.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: For the past, and you actually care and I care.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to do a good job.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that part I don't understand. Will would you do
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it your job at home? I actually do sometimes? Okay, yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: some days I do.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But but again I have less screens, smaller computer at home.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a laptop, and so there's I have
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: less to work with. It's a little easier here. I'm
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: looking at you guys on a on a phone. Actually
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not, but that's okay. I know. I use my
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: computer or I use the computer Lindsay sets it up.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So I've got a computer with the right part it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a split screen and right hand as you guys, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: on the left are the papers that I look at
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: because every morning it's the New York Times, the LA Times,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: occasionally the Orange County Register.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Does she feeds you too other than political views? Does
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: she feed you like food?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Still?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah? Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. And she takes the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: spoon and goes airplane, open your mouth, daddy happy? Yeah? Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: she dies And you would do it at home, right
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: if you could. I don't know. There is something about
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: being around other people Okay. That kind of gets your ire,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that kind of gets you miserable. Yeah, I can understand that. No,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and I don't have that long of a drive, so
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not that. But then you know, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you have to shower in the morning, which you did
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: in this morning. I wouldn't wash your hair because you're
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: wearing your baseball hat, so clearly you didn't wash your hair.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Ball cap.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: You really do. It's so cute.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: San Diego Padres baseball cap and Cono? How many baseball caps?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Because I've seen Cono once, uh and once I'm serious,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in which she was not wearing a baseball cap. How
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: many of them do you have?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: It was that one time that you didn't.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I probably have in rotation currently.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, and Cono has great hair too.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: On top of that, take it off.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: His head is completely flat, like Frankenstein, and it's like
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a bowling ball of my dad.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's good hair. It's good hair that you have.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I just like hats. Heck, okay, that's fair.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I also look cute in hats, like.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And who told you that? Okay, guys, Okay, it's Friday,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna have a good time. On Friday.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It's always fun at at the end of the show.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: The last hour is really great, fun foody Friday with
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Neil as always. Uh, I'm going to Costco again today
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: even though I went yesterday, so it's a double therapy
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: session for me. I'm feeling a little blue Dodger blue,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and actually I don't care. All right, guys, let's do it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's time for Handle on the News with Heather filling
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in for Amy. Today's your last day. Yes, Amy comes
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: back on Monday, and Neil lead story. Well, the President
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: did exactly what a lot of us he anticipated, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: he went off on tangents. He made claims that were ridiculous.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: He made claims that he released this stunning information that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was going to prove his point, and a lot of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the documents went the other way. He actually released information
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that contradicted what he was saying. And I'm going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: talk more about that at seven o'clock. And one of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the fun stories is CNN didn't cover it. ABC didn't
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: cover it, NBC didn't cover it, didn't cover the speech,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and those that did were just bits and pieces of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it and some analysis. Fox covered it wall to wall.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: It's a shocker. Isn't it. And I'll talk more about
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that at seven o'clock because I want to throw stuff
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: at you because it's typical. It's typical relitigating everything, these
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: bombshell documents that were not okay. Anyway, I'll talk more
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: about that at seven o'clock because that was that was
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: fun and ridiculous as usual.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Along those same lines. Because ABC and NBC did not
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: air it, President Trump says that he called it fraud.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: He says those networks have committed fraud and he wants
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: to have their license revoked. CNN, as Bill mentioned, also
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: opted against the live network coverage. But you know, ABC,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: NBC incentate. They all streamed it live on YouTube, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: so did the White House.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, of course, and that's by the way. The
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: President has a point in one sense, then I'll buy that,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and that is these licenses are free. The networks and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the television stations pay nothing for the licenses, as we
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: don't here at KFI, and it is free, and effectively
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it is guaranteed for life because they had to be
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: renewed every what four years, and he said they should
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: pay for it. We get it absolutely free. I'm fine
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: with that. Just everybody pay for a license. Okay, you ever,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the people that use federal land, for example, for grazing
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: their cows pay for it. If there was a federal
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: building and you are renting a space, I do believe
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you pay for it, don't know for a fact. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. Now, only the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: stations or only networks that didn't air his speech, they've
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: committed fraud by not airing his speech, and they should
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: have their licenses revoked because they didn't air his speech.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And there's been plenty. There were some speeches that Biden
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: did that were not aired. We're not covered by the networks.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: There were speeches that Barack Hussein Obama. You noticed that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he always used the word Hussein middle name, and there
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: were speeches he'd that weren't aired, but none of them
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: called for revoking of their broadcast licenses. More handle on
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the news Brooker, Heather, I got it. Oh that's true.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to, you know, use last names first,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and uh savedra Comma Neil comma, Neil. Oh, sorry about that. Yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't turn that off your medication. I know I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: already took my medication. Okay, fair enough, all right, pretty good, yeah, good, Okay, Okay,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: so the.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Poops we heard about the Federal Health Authorities linking the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: shredded iceberg let us, this is a bummer to Taco Bell.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: So this outbreak outbreak that sickened more than sixteen hundred
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: people across five states is now. You said, Heather that
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: it was from California, but the FDA trace the lettuce
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to a single supplier from Mexico.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Mexico.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I will investigate what I said, because sometimes
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know what I'm saying.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: They should have known. They should have known because the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: packages say diarrhea lettuce.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Well this is well diarrhea in, diarrhea out. That's the problem.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: When people are using fields to poop in is usually
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the problem. This is Taylor Farms and the Federal Health
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Authorities linked that shredded lettuce to Taco Bell here and
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a good number of these people got it from Taco Bell.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: That's how they started putting it all together. Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: West Virginia, excuse me, West Virginia.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: The report I have says from the Washington Post that
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: is from Taylor Farms, which is based in Salinas, California.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: But the farms they are saying from Mexico, the FDA
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: can trace, for example, cases of E. Coli to specific farms. Yes,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and I mean it's just it's astounding to perceive specific
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: areas of those farms. So saying it came from Mexico
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: as probably I think a legitimate analysis.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my turn.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: So Tehran has launched again several strikes on countries including Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Oman Cutter as well as Jordan and Syria. Those countries
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: were forced to take defensive action against Iranian missile drones.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: This is the sixth night of US strikes on Iran,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: and Tehran has been doing these counter strikes on countries
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: where they say they're they're targeting civilian infrastructure. The US
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: is targeting civilian infrastructure, and now Tehran is justifying their
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: strikes because of the US as strikes. It's it's the
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: same back and forth, but it seems to be escalating.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Well. This series of strikes is in response to Iran
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: attacking ships in the Gulf that we're trying to transit
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the Gulf in lanes other than what they prescribed. And
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you notice that the ceasefire talks are kind of off
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the table right now. Yeah, and I'm assuming that the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: ceasefire is being defined. I think it is as we're
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: not in all out war, I mean boots on the ground,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: full attack. I'm short of that. The ceasefire, I guess,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: is still in effect. It's getting worse, I mean, there's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: no question. And the President is threatening lots of infrastructure
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: which the United States could do. Power plants, bridges, roads,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: water treatment plants, I mean all of it. Communications, telephone. Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: It's going to be unfun, it really is. Here's another
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: one that's not going to be particularly fun that a
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: bumper sticker wore on fun. Yeah, all right, this is
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the It gets sadder and more sad as we hear
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: about it. You remember we talked about on Tuesday that
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: San Francisco Bay boat accident where boat capsized.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: There was twenty people on board and one had died.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Three were missing, while they found one of the other
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: bodies identified as fifty eight year old Tundra Madruga Madruga
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Trump Madruga from Sacramento County. Here's the thing. Though they
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: had said that it was a memorial of sorts, they
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: were spreading ashes. Can you imagine they were going family
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: members and friends going to spread ashes when all this
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: went down.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ashes ashes, we all fall in the water.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: No way too soon, you judge.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I do a lot of way too soon,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: don't I.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: That's what Lindsay says.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, very strong, very strong. That could be lined as
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: youre Neil could just very well be Wow.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Maybe the guy in the other part of the country
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: should grab that for a promo.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That's what Lindsay says. Okay, that's enough moving.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're moving on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Cities that block ICE could potentially lose some police services
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: and funding and rape kit funding Apparently the latest example
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: of the Trump administration's promised to withhold funding from cities
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: it calls sanctuary cities. They are trying to pressure cities
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: to sign cooperation agreements with ICE, and they're kind of
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: pressuring them by threatening to withhold money. There will be
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: no federal fund for bulletproof vests for police in Santa Cruz.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: The city is saying in a lawsuit, no ambulances for
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: paramedics in Beaverton, Oregon, and now no money for police
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: departments to process rape kits in Fresno.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Now I will show you and I wouldn't be surprised
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: if the Trump administration really didn't think this through, because
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of really not thinking through and the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: unintended consequences there. This administration, particularly President Trump, shoots from
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the hip. I mean they're you know, today it's this,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and this afternoon they on this, this, that's another one, Neil,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: and it's I mean, that's the way this president works now,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: for his for his supporters. That's a great thing because
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it keeps everybody simply on track for not knowing, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: it puts him in a great position, or puts the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: United States in a great position. Of course, others are
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: totally against that concept. They want a more moderated presidency
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: where we know or have an idea where we're going
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and the consequences are thought out.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: All right, all right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: The only thing worse than having your house, apartment, or this,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: your store, whatever flooded there in West Hollywood is having
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: your insurance turnround and say we don't cover that. So apparently,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: if a pipe bursts in your house, they'll cover it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: But if a pipe burst somewhere else and floods your house,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: then you need specific flood insurance.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Is what it comes down.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: To So you're right. The only thing worse than not
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: having the appropriate insurance, well, maybe the Holocaust is worse. Okay,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: moving on, and you're right as far as insurance. Flood
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: floods that came to that comes down water from the
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: sky not covered in insurance. You have to high you
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: have to have specific flood insurance, right, and you get
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that from the government. You get that from the federal government.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And no one has it here. I don't have flood insurance.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Do they sue the city at this point?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who's sure the pipe owner? Right?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I know the city didn't even know who owned the pipe.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You know, the city, the city because it's a main, main,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: main pipe. It's one of the big ones.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: We're one hundred years old.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Happened, Yeah, but the city is still supposed to maintain them.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Well, but they why don't they just change them out.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: One thing that happened that was interesting today is the
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: city controller. La City Controller Kenneth Mihea posted that the
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: city is far behind where they should be in updating
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: these pipes, especially compared to other Yeah, especially compared to
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: other cities. And it's something he's been saying that should
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: be a priority because what's happening is these types of
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: ruptures are costing the city more than if they were
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: actually being proactive and taking care of them before.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Who gets elected on the campaign promise of maintenance.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I think in la you know, you've got a
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: pretty good shot because that is one of the major
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: complaints people have. Like Neil just said, sidewalks, infrastructure, potholes,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: major street problem.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Look at mom, Donnie.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: A lot of people in New York elected him and
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: he started immediately like creating a pothole.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Wait till you see the taxes, the city taxes. Oh, sure,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: all you have to pay for it. There's no secret here. Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And the water that was coming out of that main,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: if you were watching the news or a video of it,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: was so much you wonder, this is a place where
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you don't want to lose that much water in a
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: place that is drought ridden. That was a tough one
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to watch.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: And these pipes we have.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: My house is over one hundred years old and we
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: had to replace the pipe from the house that goes
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: to the street.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's on you. That's on you. But
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: that main But it was all clay. They understand that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: But that main is the city's responsibility for maintaining it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: That goes down the middle of the street, and it
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: is I mean it's three feet in diameter or twenty
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: four inches in diameter. I mean a lot of water
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: goes through there, and so it's the cost is astronomical.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: They have to basically shut down the street. Okay, moving on, Heather.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I do think that is such an interesting topic.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, major wildfires are happening in Canada. More than eight
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: hundred wildfires are burning right now, and obviously because of that,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: then it's affecting the air quality. And now it is
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: affecting the air quality in multiple US states. A blanket
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: of smoke cloud is being felt and smelled from Detroit
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: and Toronto and New York across New England, and it's
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: causing hazardous air qualities.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's crazy. It is just crazy. You can't see.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: It's like a fog, like a dense, dense fog, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: it's smoke or that's dangerous. Oh, eight hundred wildfires is
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: equivalent in the United States the seven hundred and twenty wildfires.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: You're aware of that due to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: The wildfire exchange rate.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas flash floods coming from the sky as we've
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: got them coming from the grounds here in Los Angeles.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: You've got these massive flash floods in Texas, killed two
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: people so far, forced hundreds of rescues in areas still
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: reeling from all the devastation a year ago. If you remember,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: you've got rescuers above, you know, board boats and helicopters
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: saving more than two hundred people, stranded drivers, people trapped
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: in homes and what have you. But this is in
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the same area, isn't it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: That had.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can't Mystic exactly Mystic, So you know this obviously
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: is a very flood prone area and having issues, still
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: recovering from that. And now another of waves bounding rain
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: that doesn't look like it's going to be stopping anytime soon.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple of points, that Guadalupe River right near
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: where Camp Mystic was rose by more than thirty feet
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: in an hour.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And it's far worse than what happened at Camp Mystic,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: where twenty seven kids and counselors drowned. This time, they
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: were prepared for it and were able to move people away,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and two people unfortunately died, And we don't know did
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: they not pay attention to the mandatory evacuation order. Don't know,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: but two versus twenty seven alone at Camp Mystic, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I think the number of people that died during that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: storm was substantially more than twenty seven, for sure. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: this is a worse flood.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Just don't live by the river.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Move This is interesting. The White House tele prompter operator,
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: which is a job that a lot of people probably
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: don't think about. There is somebody there using a teleprompter
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: to for the president's speeches. While apparently this man, Gabriel Perez,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: as a technical assistant and teleprompter operator. He made a
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: bet using Calshi and won one hundred thousand dollars by
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: placing bets on the prediction markets about what President Trump
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: would say in his speeches. I think he knew as
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: he knew an advance. Imagine that the teleprompter operator knowing
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: what is going to be on the teleprompter.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Sure inside information, that's.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Right, And so he has been charged with insider knowledge
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: of placing those bets.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: And yeah, that's the I mean only.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: A surprised that he has a teleprompter operator, because he
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: never reads from the teleprompter.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: I am a little surprised at that to be honest,
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: because he seems to be so off the cuff sometimes, I.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Bet said, and it admits it and it's proud of it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: And I kind of like that because when you look
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: at you know, the Joe Bidens of this world weeding
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the teleprompter and very woodenly, it's kind of you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it's pretty staid, and you look good.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Fun sound bites, that's for sure.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry here the fun soundbites. But if you're
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: the actual prompter, I don't know, guy, that's got to
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: be a pain in the assis.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Move down.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: When I was a local TV newscaster with in a
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: small market, I had to run my own teleprompter, so
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: I would be producing the newscast and anchoring the news,
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: and in one hand, I would have like a little
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: you know, almost like a little handheld thing that let me, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: that change the speed while I was reading for the newscast,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: so I could back it up or go forward or
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: speed it up if I needed to. And then there
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: was a button that would let me skip a story
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: if I needed to do.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: That's a skill set doing all of that. At one time,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: it was a lot.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: It was a very stressful.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Now I imagine when you said you were running your
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: own teleprompter, that you would do a story, run behind
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: the camera, move the teleprompter, run back. Just with small
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: radio markets, the host runs the board, does the commercials certainly,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: and does the DJing in music stations, and then when
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: he is off the air or she is off the air,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: sweeps up the studio just does all the sales. It's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: those are small markets.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Well, you know we run our own boards here too.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, you run your own board, KNO runs my board.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: My cono is Bill, turn off the mic, turn on
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the mic and or turn off mute and cono? How
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: often do you remind me to turn off my mic
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: or turn it back on? Every day? Every day the day?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe four times minimum? Yeah? Yeah, major market, at major
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: market radio station. I wouldn't know how to run a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: board if a gun was held in my head. Regurgitation,
• 25:06
