  Speaker 1: it was. It'd be crazy.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: People don't like it when you leave their town.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: No, what was it, Baltimore when it's insane when the

  Speaker 1: Colts moved out overnight without announcing, they just pack up

  Speaker 1: everything and move because people are gonna get killed. People
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are fanatic about their guys. Desino was thrilled when you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: moved Orange County. Yeah, pretty much. Okay, guys, it is time.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Let's do time for handle on the news on this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Thursday morning with Amy with Neil with me lead story.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, if you're in the Iranian leadership, you've got
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to be sweating bullets because you're going to be receiving bullets.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The Israeli military killed the naval commander of the Revolutionary
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Guard and overnight attack and he was in an apartment
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hideout in southern Iran with other Revolutionary Guard officers at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the time of the attack and he's just the latest
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: guy out there. It just goes to show you how
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: sophisticated the intelligence is that Israel has you talk about,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And one of the officials said, we talked about this
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: last couple of days, that the that Israel is so
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: embedded in virtually all aspects of the intelligence, the army,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the probably not the clar rics, but everybody else. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: people getting killed left, right and center. So come as
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, walk around, you're gonna die.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, defiant in the midst of destruction. Iran has rejected
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a fifteen point plan presented by the US to end
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the fighting, and instead it launched more attacks on Israel
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and Arab countries, including strikes that hit a fuel tank
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: at the Kuwait International Airport that sparked a fire. Iran's
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: foreign minister says his government has not engaged in talks
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to end the war, and he says we do not
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: plan on any negotiations. Of course, Pakistan is saying the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: US and Iran negotiators are in indirect talks.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, the toe is in the water. However, the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: fifteen point plan that the President proposed complete non starter
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: as far as Iran is concerned. I mean complete, give
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: up the missile production, give up the atomic weapons. While
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that one I think is that I think they might
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: go for, but paying money supporting these proxy terrorist groups
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: around the world ain't gonna happen. They're just not And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so I think the President's in a little bit of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: trouble here, a lot of trouble because you can't go
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: forward and say we've won the war, we've obliterated their
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: nuclear program, and then two weeks later saying we're going
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to obliterate it. We are going to force them to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: give it up, give up what you've obliterated it. Already
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of mixed messaging going on, and if
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the approval ratings with the president, it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is singing like crazy. They are they have to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: scrambling at the White House, have to be this is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not going well. So we'll see what happens. This is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: now week four. Is this the start of week four
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: for the war? I think it is. At this point
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we've gone a full three weeks. We're into week four,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and the President has said this will be four to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: six weeks, and what happens after.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: That seven weeks?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Week seven and then you're going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: add then we're going to ask, wait, what happened to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: four to six weeks, and then it will be a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: total deflection on that one. So this is not voting. Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not only for the President because it doesn't matter for him.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He just wants to win under any circumstances. And I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: talk about win elections because it doesn't have anymore. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for the Republican Party. If this thing continues, you are
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: going to see Republicans jumping off of that messaging like
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a sinking ship. Otherwise they're almost guaranteed to not be
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: re elected or to not be elected.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so a decision has been made Landmark verdict.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: We had been talking about this Instagram YouTube. Are they
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: designed to addict kids? Well, after seven weeks of court proceedings,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: more than forty hours of deliberations, boom boom, Yeah, I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: guess they are.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah this was this jury says yeah, but not much,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not much money money like no, no, we dropping the bucket.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: This is a million. Yeah, this is money. They this
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is money they find in between the cushions in the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: waiting room, on the couch for why so low? Because
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they that was the compensatory that was. That was the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: damages that were Those were the damages that the jury
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: came up with. Some juries go crazy, punitive damages. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't think punies kicked into this, and punitive damages on
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the other case, three hundred and seventy five million dollars,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it was just going to be brought down. It's not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the money on this one at all. It's it's whether
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this is a bell weather because there are thousands of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: cases that have been filed. Oh, there's going to be
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: tons more now, Oh yeah, I mean this is it's
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: gonna it's it's basically big tobacco, which wrote out a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: check for what seventy five billion dollars. That was a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: lot of years ago when seventy five billion dollars was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: real money, not today, which is yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Well, so other faith industry is stoked that they're not
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: being looked at. Everyone's focusing on this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Better bring your snickers because it's going to be a while.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Transportation Security Administration says it's experiencing the longest wait times
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: ever in its twenty four year history because of the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: ongoing partial shutdown. They were testifying before House Committee yesterday.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Wait times at some of the airports, according to the testimony,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: have exceeded four hours. Call out rates at those places
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: of forty to fifty percent and McNeil when McNeil told
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the government or the House Homeland Security Committee that if
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this partial government shutdown continues into Friday, TSA will have
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: missed almost a billion dollars in paychecks.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not so much the amount of money. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the number of people who are not getting the paychecks
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and how many of them have to quit and they're
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: supplementing their income by selling blood, for example, or sleeping
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: at the airport. This the political the political aspects of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this crazy on this one, and we'll see who's going
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to get the blame for this. I think both parties
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: have to get the blame. What the Democrats are saying is, listen,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: let's just fund TSA and leave everything and we'll talk
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: about everything else. And the administration and the Republicans, based
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: on what Donald Trump of course says, say nope, not
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: until you give us the Save America Act, which has
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to do with voting and security at the voting booth.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So I you know, it's I don't think it's a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: good connection. Although the Democrats are saying, look what ICE
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is doing at the various schools and the way they're enforcing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So I just leave it alone. And you know, the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: American public is dying here in terms of flying. I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you have four or five hours. Wait. You see some
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of the news reports when the news reporters come up
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and there's the five hour line, and people are saying, well,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I was here yesterday and I stood in line for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: four hours, but I missed my flight. It's just insanity,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it really is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: On that note, a small addition to that is how
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: when McNeil TSA's had Hancho said that the TSA is
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: looking now at the possibility again of shutting down airports.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: We've heard that before. So far airports, Yeah, so far
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: it hasn't happened. But that is in addition to.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So the homeless have gone underground quite literally. City Cruise
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: were about to weld shut a manhole cover in South
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: la and then someone said, hey, there's someone down there.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Oh boy.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And then a few seconds later a man climbed out
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: of the manhole, carrying with him a pink polka dot
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: roller suitcase and walked off.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That's important the color of the suitcase. I like that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: part of the story.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: That's from the other times.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is, and so that people were saying there's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: people living down there.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: They've been complaining about it for quite some time, which
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: is why the welders were there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But welcome to southern California, Welcome to Los Angeles specifically, Okay.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: We should build little put pillows in the potholes. Yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and woo homeless into the potholes.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Sir, the pillows and Potholes program.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: It's got to catch you name.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court says the internet service providers aren't liable for
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: bootleg music downloads. That's basically the gist of it. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of legal ins and outs that you
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: may love in this handle. But really, if the music
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: companies that hold all the rights to all this music,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I mean Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, eminem or clapped
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: in all these different you know, music brands, this actually
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: would tie responsibility to even could tie it to a
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: college that has people using the computers at college.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: This if they had won, if the Spring Court went
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the other way, these internet service providers would have a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: very very difficult time functioning the way they do now.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: The argument was infringement because there was bootleg music being
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: played on their platform, and the lawsuit was you allowed
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: this to happen. Therefore you are guilty of complicity in
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the copyright infringement the lawsuit. I mean the case is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: not against someone who puts music on the internet. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: mean that could be copyright infringement. If I put, for example,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Beyonce's music, I put it on, I'm infringing on her copyright.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: But the lawsuit was saying that the platform I'm putting
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it on is also liable, and the court said no.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I would just say the argument was it would wreak havoc,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and that's true. And this was a unanimous decision. A
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: unanimous decision. Okay, I think we have time for one more.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: You can be all that you can be, and be
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: older now too. The US Army is raising the maximum
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: enlistment age to forty two and also has gotten rid
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: of a barrier to potential recruits who have a legal
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: conviction for marijuana or drug paraphernalia possession if you only
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: have just one The previous ceiling for enlisting was thirty five.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And now it's forty two. I'm going to do that story,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: because there are lots of parts hearts of this one.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It has a lot to do with the defense of
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: this country too, and what's happening currently and who and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what and where and where the services are saying, oh
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: my god, we need help all right.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: As you heard Amy say during the news, the sad
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: story of a forty six year old woman killed by
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a rattlesnake bite in Ventura County. If you're familiar with
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: that area of Thousand Oaks, beautiful area, it's the Wildwood
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Regional Park. Man, I've hiked that place a bazillion times.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It's gorgeous, had a fort there. When I was a kid,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: we'd go through that fort and run there to Baranka
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and all the water there. Well, it turns out that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Gabriel Bautista, she's a resident of Moor Park, which is
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: right right down from Thousand Oaks there, reportedly was bitten
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: well hiking on a trail there and she was airlifted
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: to Les Robliss there the main regional medical center, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: she passed away. Venom toxicity took her. And just a
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: sad story. The heat is bringing what normally comes out
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: during the summertime, snakes. It's bringing them now to the forefront.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for is it?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Nine people have been bitten so far this year. Four
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: have been the last two weeks.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Reminds me of a joke that we can't say.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you on the air. Oh well thanks, No,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it's a good one because well you know, no, Okay,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: moving on.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: The cicada's coming takes kill you all the time.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm telling you, do not hike. Okay,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: do not hike. You know, do what I do. You know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I do my afternoon job, and I'm going to suggest
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you do the same thing. Okay.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: The cicadas are coming, and we're not talking about the insect.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: It's the COVID kind of cicada. The CDC and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: w h O or monitoring be a three point two
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: nicknamed cicada. It's a highly mutated variant of COVID nineteen.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: It's been found in wastewater across many states in the
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: US and in more than twenty countries. It has been
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: found in California. It's making up about thirty percent of
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the cases in some areas. Experts say that current vaccines
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: may be less effective at preventing infection, but do still
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: protect against severe disease.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are you frightened of spider's beniciens amy and.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not so much an is And.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You're frightening spiders, well, then this story is for you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Enjoyed this one, okay, okay, thank you.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: The only thing worse than a venomous spider is a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: venomous spider that spins a web like a balloon so
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: it can float over to you. These normally take place
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in the northeastern US, but they're on their return. They
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: are creating a new infestation, spreading even deeper into the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: country than ever before. They're pretty, but they're big, you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: about the size of a palm maybe, and they kill you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: No, they don't, Well, anything can kill They're venomous. They
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: are venomous. Yes, they are venomous. They make these sail like.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're necessarily they don't.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You're right, they're not aggressive JO spiders the bright yellow body,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: blue stripes, red markings, making them hard to miss. Thankfully.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Males can be spotted by their more brownish color and
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: smaller size by that tracks native to China. Yeah, came
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: here in twenty fourteen, Thanks China, Thanks Obama.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and much like modern society, they occasionally eat their
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: male counterparts.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, not so fast. The White House is delayed nominating
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: a new director for the Centers for Disease Control and
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Prevention as it continues to search for a new CDC director.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, the responsibility of leading the agent agency
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: will stay with Jay Bodicharia. He's the head of the
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: National Institutes of Health and has been the acting CDC director,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: but because the rules that he can't be the acting
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: director for very much longer, that expires them.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And here's the problem that they're having is because you've
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: got Robert Kennedy that only wants a anti vaxer who
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to be head of the CDC. Since the Senate has
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to confirm that person. The Senate is saying, no, that's
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: not going to happen. You've got Kennedy who is saying, no,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to put someone who doesn't believe as
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I believe. And so there's a between a rock and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a hard place. And now we've got temporary CDC heads.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: They are probably this may go on for the entire
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: term of Donald Trump. Literally, CDC had I think you're
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: good for what one hundred and fifty days, one hundred
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and twenty days. So every one hundred and twenty days
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we have a new one because he can't take a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: chance of going in front of the Senate. They'll just
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: say no, no thanks. You know Bill Cassidy, who is
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Senator, who is a boy. He feels I'm sure
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he feels great. He was a deciding vote to place
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Robert Kennedy into his position. And Bill Cassidy was not
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: only an advocate of vaccinations, he ran programs in Louisiana
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: as a medical doctor for vaccinations. And Kennedy promised him
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that he would keep the vaccine programs alive and moving.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And then he literally on the way out of the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: hearing room, he went ahead and did the opposite. And
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: so they're saying no this time around. Ain't going to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: confirm because Kennedy is nuts. Kennedy is crazy. Oh really,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: only one cabinet member crazy? All right.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: This next story is interesting because I grew up in
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties and this wouldn't have been illegal.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: This would have been this one would have been applauded.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: You got this Utah mother. She was charged with kidnapping
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: and aggravated child abuse. She there was this eleven year
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: old boy who was bullying her child, so she went
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: looked for him, grabbed him, brought him in her car,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: drove him to her house, and made him apologize to
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: her son. And now she's yeah and is applauding. Right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: don't you just go it's like that's something what I
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: would do.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not?
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: She seems like a hero in my book, But now
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: she's getting nailed.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: How about drop kicking him across the room? You know
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that's violent? This is not This is just like, hey,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to save you a bus ticket. I'm gonna
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: take you to my kid and you can apologize and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna drop your yourself back off and everything.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's a different world. But do you think it'd
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: been more appropriate, assuming that this is okay for this
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: all to happen in front of his parents? Or does
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: she do this on her own? And that's that's okay,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And I owe you with the details in your lawyer,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Is just u you know, all right, fair enough one
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: work and now the kids got emotional damage, not like
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: when he bullied people.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: All right, this one's just for you, Bill, mm hmm.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Representative Brian Mast of Florida has introduced legislation to rename
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Palm Beach International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport. Wow,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: now that's on the that's at the US House level.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: But last month Republicans in the Florida House and Senate
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: both passed that legislation to rename the airport. Governor DeSantis
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: has not signed it, and it would need approval by
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the FAA.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is controlled by, of course, the executive branch.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So what is the chances I'll tell you why it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: not going to happen that quick quickly, because they're now
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: working on renaming the Federal Aviation Administration the Donald Trump
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Federal Administration, and that has to happen first before it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: can be the airport. And don't forget it's the Donald
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Trump rental car, the rental lot. Also, Yeah, you're right,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that's for me, don't Is there is there a limit
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: at all? Is there ever a limit to? No?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: No limit? And I got to tell you sometimes I
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: wake up and I think this is the alternate universe
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that Biff got the Sports Almanac and all is running
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: to hell and the right person got that reference. That's okay,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Biff got yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not going to change our life around.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: You know, Iran is a problem, the economy is a problem.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a legitimate discussion. This This just
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that's entertainment, that's all. I just I'm enjoying the hell
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: out of this. And if a democratic president comes into power,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: which I think is going to happen the next presidential election,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and then does the democratic president unravel all of this
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and I don't know the answer to that, or does
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: it stay where it's Donald Trump insert name of these
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: agencies and buildings and currencies And I just don't know
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the answer. Okay, I think we can finish up with
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the next one. Okay.
