• 1:08
  Speaker 2: couldn't do that. Guess what this show is about.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, A couple of things is I'm in the studio today,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: which is always a lot of fun. And the reason
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I broadcasts from my house a fair amount is because
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: it is an hour and a half driving in Kono,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and I burn hour and a half driving in and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I have a car.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to point that out.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: And this is great because you know people listening right
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: now are driving an hour and a half to make
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: much less than you. Well, that's really so, I got
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: great idea to start with it. I go from an
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: hour and a half to a thirty foot commute. That's better.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: That's better.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And during the summer, you know, because this is the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: way you only see me waste up. I quite often
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I'll come in there and naked and my bell ringers showing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Nobody would know it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Quite often.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: That's the whole point is you can't see because so
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: when I reached down and you think it's to pick
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: up a pen or something, I drop.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: No, it's a scratch factor.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Six six everybody scratch factor.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, crack a window. Uh hey, a couple of
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: things before we go on. Just a quick hello to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: uh one in all Amy, Good morning.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Good morning Bill.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: She brought my She asked for my Kamala Harris book,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: which Lindsey bought me, and I actually read it. Not
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that I don't think Kamala Harris is, you know, a
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Dodo head interesting book.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I wanted to read it. I just didn't want to
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: pay for it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's an interesting book.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: First of all, of course it's completely self aggrandizing, all right,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of course she's so impressed with herself.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: But she talks Is it just like she circles?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: No, she writes, okay, because of course, then I'm sure
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: it was very heavily edited. But at the same time,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: she gives us a lot of what's fun about the book,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of inside baseball about what the Biden administration
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: did the Biden people did to her, didn't they didn't?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: She just crap all over them in the book.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because according to her, they crapped all over her
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: in terms of her run, her candidacy, And it's all
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: there in the book, naming names. And I thought that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: part was interesting. The inside baseball.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Did she get along with the first Lady? I don't.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: They did, I don't.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but she doesn't talk about that. There wasn't a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: lot of that First Lady.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Seemed like she really wanted her husband back in there.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Did you notice the back cover?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I never looked at the back cover.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: So the back cover has Kamala Harris on top, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: up on the podium with the American flag, Beyer, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: then the other one is the little black girl who
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: had to ride the bus that Joe Biden didn't want
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: her to be on. That's immediately what I thought of.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Remember when she called him out during the debates and
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: that kind of started. Yeah, that's what that made me
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: think of immediately. I have no idea if that's what
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: that reference is to.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I don't either.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: That's funny. Yeah, that was her. That was the one
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: shot she got during the debates. That's the only shot
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: that she took. His response was terrific. Eh, he said,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: I like ice cream. I like ice cream, and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: like the smell young girl's hair. All right, uh Will,

• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Salmon and cream cheese on a bagel and wheeled jew bagels,
• 4:33

  Speaker 3: the freeway off ramp who said three dollars please, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: someone came up with two.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Sheff feed that's not enough money. Okay, here we go
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: handle on the news, Amy Neil and me lead. Sorry.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Well, the Trump administration tried it again and federal judge
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: shut it down. And this has to do with a
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: directive that the President signed ordering California to turn over
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: its voter rolls.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: To the Feds. And the judge said, nope, not going
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Judge David o'carter, he's involved in the homeless, all the
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: homeless situation for years, and he said the Justice Department's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: motivation and its lawsuit demanding the voter data from California
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: not just an overreach into state run elections, but a
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: threat to American democracy.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: And usually judges don't go that far.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And it's true, I don't know, I haven't the opinion,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: but I'm sure somewhere in the opinion the judgment mentions
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that pesky thing we call the constitution.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: So what would be the benefit of turning them most.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Just the information that goes to the government.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: The DOJ maybe fraud looking Trump ledges massive fraud, particularly
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: in California, and they're going to straighten all that out.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Problem.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Article one of the Constitution says the states will.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Run the election. It's controlled by the states.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: The rules are set by the states, not the federal government.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: And as I said, that pesky constitution is just getting
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: in the way if Trump wants to do and the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: DOJ hasn't even said it's going to appeal or not.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Trump is losing a fair amount in the courts. That's
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: not to say because the judges are on are now
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: turning against him. It's just he is making these decisions
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: that are so out there that even judges are going
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: But isn't.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: That what you want to see? What checks balance? Of course, but.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: We're not seeing checks and balances on a level that
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: normally happens in our normal course of running the.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: God if anything does normal.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're seeing checks and balances on the absolute crazy stuff.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, because we really you have to move on, not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Ruling anything out. After weeks of escalating tensions between US
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: and Iran, an emergency meeting was held at the UN
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Security Council. The US called for it. The US Ambassador
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: to the UN, Mike Waltz, says, colleagues, let me be clear.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: President Trump is a man of action, not endless talk
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: like we see at the United Nations. He has made
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: it clear that all options are on the table to
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: stop the slaughter. Of course, referring to the killing of
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: at least twenty five hundred protesters in Iran, some of
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: those accounts are that it's over ten thousand.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm sort of in favor of that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: But also, here's the problem politically, is that President Trump
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: ran on not getting involved in foreign affairs. That was
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: one of his main campaign promises, and now he is
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: getting involved in foreign affairs big time.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: That's a huge thing with the Mega group, Right, We're
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: tired of spending money and everywhere except the United States.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And well we're only getting little bits and pieces because
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: his Maga, his MAGA followers.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy could do almost anything.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but once you start going against what their principles are,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: what their principles?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, well how many let me ask you how many
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Greens I have come out of the Republicans.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I don't know, because you're not going to run. I'm
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: not talking about those that are in the House or anything.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about those that are. Yeah, a lot of
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: them were upset and still upset about the Epstein files things.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Like that, But nothing's going to happen.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: When you look at the approval of Trump his supporters,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Republicans have not dropped.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm going on the record say he won't be reelected.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Trump, someone has introduced, you know, a Republican
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and and to put his face on Mount Rushmore.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That has been introduced.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: He has not.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: It has by who.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: One of the congress people Trump one of the crazy
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: ass congress people. And you can look that up. Now
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it's only one person you know who did that. But
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I called it because he has some insane followers.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: That's not just nuts. All right. So President Donald Trump
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: yesterday said that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: He was gonna I hate when they do this. Invoke
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: eighteen oh seven law. I hate when they do that
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: eighteen oh seven. What's the Constitution, it's older than that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: But I hate when they do appeal to antiquity that
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: it's that it's like, oh, because it's eighteen oh seven.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Well he can do he can invoke the Insurrection Act.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: I just think when you start dating a law, it's like, well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: the Constitution outdates eighteen o se where you're doing so
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: eighteen oh seven law that deploys troops to quell persistent
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: protests against federal officers there in Minneapolis. So he's just
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: saying the Trump troops are going to go out to Minneapolis.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: They are, and that's what he's saying.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But the Insurrection Act is to deal with the insurrection,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the overthrow of the government.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: In the article, what are they trying to do when
• 15:23

• 15:47
  Speaker 3: circumstances were either, because there's been martial law declared by
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: a couple of presidents, and that is a huge deal

  Speaker 3: because that's when Habeas corpus is suspended, and that is
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: no small deal.

• 16:24
  Speaker 3: probably true. You'll hear me screaming. But yeah, it's getting

  Speaker 6: the Affordable Care Act aka obamacarero.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Although he has some good ideas.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: One of them is cutting the cost of pharmaceuticals, which
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: needs to be done right, getting rid of the middleman,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: those managers, those pharmaceutical managers that between the hospitals and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: they just add costs. Oh yeah, yeah, no, there's no
• 17:22

  Speaker 6: online space where you can get information and didn't cost
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: you anything. Well it has and we all know Wikipedia,

• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be very difficult.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: And during the winter, I like curling, you know, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: sown Yeah, where the guys used the brooms.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: But I would watch curling.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now I love curling.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And during the side game like whoa, like it was

• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, summer I want to see the obscure stuff.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is. But curling is great. And they, yeah,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: were the brooms.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: You know who was I don't know what they call him,
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: a master curler, Bill Carroll's wife.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's was.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: A janitor for years and years, because that's how you.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Put I think she threw the stone or whatever they
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: call it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: All right, So Trump's got so many troops he doesn't
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: know what to do with them. And actually I like
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: this idea he's pressing Mexico to allow US forces to
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: fight cartels.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't know why we haven't done that
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: in the past.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Because Mexico is a sovereign country that can't handle themsel
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter, it's still a sovereign So what do you do?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: So we're involved with Mexico and Canada of course, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Iran and Columbia is on the list, Cuba is on
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: the list.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: But isn't it like shareholders, don't we hold a share
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: of Mexico now because so many live here. It's like, hey,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: we're fifty one percent shareholders with Mexico.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Don't because the documents are all illegal, they're fraudulent.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Why don't know they're undocumented? We just need to give
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: them documents now. Can't we just annex Mexico?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Sure we can? And they're gonna say, hey, why not?
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Sure, possibly building a defense. According to a report published
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: by The New York Times, the thirty two year old
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: son of Robin Michelle Reiner, who were murdered in their home,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: was in a mental health conservatorship that started in twenty twenty.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: The conservatorship ended in twenty twenty one. According to the Times,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: and at some point Stephen Behar, who's a licensed feduciary
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: he was in charge of the conservatorship, said mental illness
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: is an epidemic that is widely misunderstood.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: But he was only in charge of the money part
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: making financial decisions. Yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Well, wait, is a mental health conservativeship the same?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: No, it's different.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: So he was in a mental health conservatorship.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: He was in a mental health conservatorship and endedn't But
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: if it was a fiduciary.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's he was in charge of the money.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fiduciary. So it's uh, it's isn't that what
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Britney had. Yes, Brittany had her father, the uh who
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: was the fiduciary was the conservator for the financial We.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: Have massive mental health issues that are totally especially on
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: this shot stover all. Right, So Verizon, Verizon had that
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: massive seven hour outage that we all heard about, and
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: then you know, you impacted more than one point five
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: million customers and they are gonna, you know, give you
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: a credit after the outage of twenty macarones, twenty dollars,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: twenty big ones, but.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: You have to go sign up for it. So I
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: wonder how many people are going to do it because
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: it was seven hundred thousand people affected here in the
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: LA area. It was millions across the country.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Why even do that? Twenty bucks? What's that? A gallant
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: gas California?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: But they're out for how many hours? Were they out?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Ten hours?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Ten hours? They were out?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: They what does it cost? Eighty dollars a month or
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: seventy dollars a month?
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: So it's a lot more than technically what it should
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: have been.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you look at the actual number of hours,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: that's never that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: It's how it's the inconvenience, that's what that's correct.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I need to punitive damages.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I couldn't play Solitaire.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or I was about to go into emergency surgery
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: and one of the devices.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: That keep me alive broke down because it was Internet connected.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: Wait a second, I am not going to let that slide.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Amy lives alone and has cats. How sad is it
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: that she couldn't play Solitaire? The cat, the weird cat
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: lady couldn't.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I couldn't even play my game by myself.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: All right, we're first of all, I am not of
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: a rising customer, so stop.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So there you are? And how many cats? How many
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: cats do you have?
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: That doesn't make you a cat lady, That makes you no.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: But she dresses up with a tail and ears, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: she puts whiskers on and then she lays it.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Did that once.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just but she's a survivalist. So the cats
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: are the cats whiskers. Okay, we're done.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: That's it, We're done, guys, All right, coming up, this
• 29:23
