  Speaker 1: uh so he's.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: No different in other things. People ask, you know, hey,
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: does that happened all the time? I said, I've sat
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: in the car with him for an hour and a
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: half because he forgot to turn it on.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Pretty much. Kno, how's the signal coming through? Are in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: good shape?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're good. You should mute your zoom though, if
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you could.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: He put on some pants.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, well, no, that's out of the question because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you can't see me above the waist. And remember that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we are when we auctioned off the broadcast for a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: listener to come to join us. How'd that do? By
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the way, it looks like we are going to finish
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: up in fifty two thousand dollars.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Holy Oh, that's like eleven thousand more than yesterday.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. We finally figured it all out. People.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: Did you want to take a minute and call John
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Cobalt and Gary and Shannon?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, because I don't know if they're awake.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Gary. Yeah, but that's pretty Although, come on, and it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: not exactly fair. You can't. I mean, think about this.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have people come over to the house, so
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: two an extra two or four instead of two? Wow,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that would be four, but I think we have six
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: people coming. It's not like taking six people to a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: ball game. Someone's got to sit with somebody. So it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: really not apples and oranges. But the apples are pretty
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: impressive in this case. To say the least fifty two
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars for people to have lunch with us. Wow, Okay,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, we'll take it, you know you,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we'll take it. That could be the single, well, certainly
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is the biggest KFI item we've ever done. It could
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be the biggest iHeart item.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna have to carry it because you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: ten minutes in Bill's gonna go I'm bored.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go go up to the room, no question, about it,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: but anyway, part of one of the great things we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can do, and this is what we're offering, not only
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the barbecue, but the night set from Lake Industries, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the gourmet and I've set a couple thousand dollars worth
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and Zella.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Joking aside, it's incredibly incredibly generous for you to open
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: your home.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: You know what.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I was you because we're close, but it's incredibly generous.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I've never heard any host do anything close to that
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: before we.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Did that, and we thought we could actually we thought
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we could raise some real money for Katerina's Club. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about you and I have been talking
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: about barbecuing or grilling at my house now you months
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and months and doing a broadcast out of the house
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: where we wouldn't wouldn't be an event. It would simply
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be the broadcast because of grilling and the green egg
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and just making a big deal out about it. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for the Fork Report, and it became an easy It
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: became an easy hit at that point saying, hey, tell
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you what, why don't we use it as a as
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: an auction? I am And that's how that evolved. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it was it was a fairly easy call and we
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: get We thought we would get fifteen twenty thousand dollars
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: at the outside. You remember we had that conversation we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: ended up we ended up with fifty two thousand. So, uh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, what can I tell you? All right, let's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: say hello to everybody before we start. Neil just said hello,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: good morning. And Anne, who was wearing her chargers up, Oh, no, kidding,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: put it down all dr. I didn't see it. It
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was good, Okay, I assume that means it was cakes, right, paint.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They basically went into overtime. Did they get their W?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got the W and ended an interception thanks
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: to a pick.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Oh nice.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Now, when you talk about a kit a pick, it's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: different with Hispanic players.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Right, No, no, no, no.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: No, that's that's that's several that's several levels somewhere else. Yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that is several levels removed in terms of where that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: humor went. Good morning, Cono, Good morning Bill. Hey, Amy's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: still wondering what the hell went that one? You got
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to ask Amy, Oh, don't leave it alone. Let's just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: leave it alone, all right. Well, good morning, good morning Bill. Yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we were talking this morning about how much weight I've
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: lost and Anne has lost in divorces, et cetera. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'm down to what one hundred and eighty six No, No,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I am, I am. Well, No, my divorce is done.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But we still have I know, just the way you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: said that. Yeah, no, we still have, you know, some
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: financial stuff. Not not acrimoniously at all, just figuring it out.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, my divorce with Marjorie is we're still very
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: close and we're very good friends, so that's not a problem.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Just trying to figure out, you know, some of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: last finance stuff because I didn't accountant. That just didn't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: do a good job for me in any case. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of weight. I'm down to one
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six pounds. And she's not going to.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Take half of the money you raised for Caterina's Club, No.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Two thousand. That was the other issue that she was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: going to take it. And I said, you can't do
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it because it's for a charity. And she said, frankly,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: my dear, I don't give a damn. She had just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: watched Gone with the Wind, Good morning, Will, good morning,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and Amy Kno, I got everybody there, Okay, fair enough,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: let's see what's going on. So we got the games
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we got. I'm trying not to do trying as hard
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as we can not to do Trump news. And we're
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: going to no not in handle on the news. We're
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: talking about segments in general. I mean, well, yeah, you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: talk about okay, well, how about this, it's infiltrated everything. Okay, Okay,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I understood. How about this. What's our first story coming
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: out in the news, And that's right, it's time for
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a handle on the news.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to start having you to talk about
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: things that really just don't matter.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Right Amy, Neil and me. And that's the lead story
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is Supreme Court. Yesterday it looked like they're going to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: allow the president to fire the head of the Federal
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Trade Commission. And this a big deal is being made.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And it should be made of the fact that the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: independence of the FTC and the FAA and this when
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it became all these very Vpa et cetera, that Congress
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: said that they should be independent, and what the president
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: doing he fired the FTC in direct violation of that,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: took it to Supreme Court because of course lawsuits by
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the fire people were fired is coming up, and it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: looks like the court is going to say Congress did
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: not have the right to do that, that the president
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: constitutionally has effectively unbridled power because this is the executive branch.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: What the uh, the FTC head is saying, even though
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I work for you, you can't fire me, and it's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not civil service protected either.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Who is the who is the oversight for the alphabet soup?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the whole point. The oversight should be the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: executive works for the executive And that's exactly Uh, that's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: exactly what the Justice said. Kavanaugh said this and asked
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that question, where is the oversight here? If someone is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: appointed head of an agency like the FTC, who is
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the oversight? Who does that person report to nobody?
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Well, then they have ultimate power. Who the person that
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: doesn't report to anyone?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: That is correct? And that's exactly what the Kavanaugh said, Uh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And that person works for the president. So you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and you may agree or disagree, and I think a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people disagree simply because as President Trump arguing
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: for his powers and he's stretching the power, and the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court is a big fan of presidential power. It
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: just so happens this fan, this court happens they'd be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a big fan. So we'll see and so you're going
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to see this law. And now Kevin all also pointed
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: out or I think it was Justice Roberts, No, it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: was Kavanaugh who said, you know, this law was passed
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five when these agencies look nothing like they
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: do today and the enormous powers these agencies have, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that is not was not the intent or should not
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: have been the intent. All right, Moving on to cut
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: or not to cut, said the moil.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: FED watchers are expecting a third.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Rate cut when the FED opens its doors for meetings
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: their meeting today and tomorrow, and we'll find out tomorrow
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: if there will be a rate cut for December. It's
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: not guaranteed, said Chairman Jerome Powell at the last meeting.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Several FED officials have cautioned that the potential tariff driven
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: inflation pressures shouldn't be dismissed and saying, hey, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: things are actually you know, the economy is growing, Equity
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: markets are all time highs, Unemployment remains very low. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: it doesn't appear that we really.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Need Yeah, we don't. We don't need a ky The
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: FED cuts or raises the race depending on the factors.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You just talked about, and all these factors indicate no cut.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yet they're probably going to cut, said the oil.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: All right, speaking of cuts, this has to deal with
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the FBI. You have agents twelve to be exact, filing
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: a lawsuit against the FBI and the DOJ. Their whole
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: concern goes back to twenty twenty during a lot of
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: racial justice protests and some of these or these agents
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: taking a knee, and the minute Cash Betel and Attorney
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: General Pam Bondi got into their positions, they started focusing
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: on getting rid of people in this category.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: So says the lawsuit.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a very interesting the argument of lawsuit. First of all,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that was an investigation by the FBI of its own agents,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: cleared of all wrongdoing. Also, the argument is that the agents,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and this is again the lawsuit, avoided triggering violence by
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: assuming a kneeling posture. It was a de escalation move
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: which brought down the temperature. And Patella is saying you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: took a knee relative to what all of I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: was this during a demonstration.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: What would have been during the George Lloyd protests.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And so that's their argument that what we
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: did is de escalate and cash Betel is saying, too bad.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously political. The lawsuit also says argues
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that they would not have been fired if they had
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: political affiliations that were in line with the January sixth defendants.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's what the lawsuit says.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Just say, you're Catholic and you're praying, Yeah, you.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Could do that, or you play football and you're praying,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Or you played football and you discovered that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the sun really was the center of the innverse. Colin Kapernik, right, Pernicas, Okay,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that's a strike. That's another one. Amy, Yeah, that's another stretch.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It didn't quite work.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't get that one either.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Now I understand, Yeah, I got it, okay.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Trump's version of farm aid. The President rolled out a
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: twelve billion dollar bailout for struggling farmers yesterday, did a
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: ceremony at the White House, actually a round table at
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: the White House. He said, we love our farmers, as
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: you know, the farmers like me. When you put stuff
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: like that in, it corrects me up. The payments to
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: the farmers are going to be made by the end
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: of February. Trump said the money was a small portion
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: of the revenue the US is taken in from tariffs,
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: although he said the tariffs made the payments possible. It
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: was the tariffs that have the farmers kind of struggling
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. Now, are the tariffs being used to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: fund this, We don't know. It comes straight out of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the taxpayer, out of the taxpayers, the general it goes
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: into the general find So I guess that's true. But
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the point of this one is he couldn't let this
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: continue on because he was going to lose the entire
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: farming community. And all of a sudden, look at the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: exceptions that are being placed on these tariffs. Well, we'll
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: take this one back. We'll take that one back. It's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: being super selective of terrorifts, which actually is what should
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: be done instead of these broad strokes. That's it. We're
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: done China ten percent across the board fifteen percent, which
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: is still happening, all right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: So Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski met with the leaders from France,
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Germany and UK in London yesterday and we had talked
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: about that yesterday. But the outcome is basically him saying, hey,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: we're not giving over any territory Russia.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: He said, he said it this way, no right to
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: give anything away under Ukrainian international or even moral law.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Well, certainly as far as Ukrainian law is concerned. He
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: can't sign a deal anyway. He doesn't have the authority.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Let's say, okay, I'll give you most of the dumbas
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: which is the eastern portion of Ukraine. Doesn't have the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right to do it. And then the problem is, of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: course that if he doesn't have the United States backing
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: up him, Ukraine's going to be a real problem. Europe's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: trying to store to step in, but not yet in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: terms of the arms. So we'll see what happens. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the problem is that the president, who is pushing very
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: hard for a peace plan, is effectively saying the only
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: way you're going to get a peace plan is to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: give Russia what it wants. And that's a tough one.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So we'll see where this one goes.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Calls that a negotiation.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Designated by DeSantis.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Florida Governor Rond DeSantis has designated one of the largest
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the US as
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: a foreign terrorist organization. Texas did it last month. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: order instructs Florida agencies to prevent the Muslim Brotherhood and
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: the Council on American Islamic Relations and those who've provided
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: the material support from receiving contracts, employment and funds from
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: a state executive or cabinet agency.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I got into it with care remember Neil,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: with the Council of Ideal Relations, and at that point
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I accuse them of being pro terrorists, not terrorists themselves,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but being in favor of terrorism. And we I mean,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it went on in our winds of minds.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: You're not the first last, or only one that has
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: said that that they might have funneled money.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, and we don't know, but they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: have developed a reputation of more peacemakers than anything else,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: or more a peace advocacy group. That's their reputation now.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And as far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned, that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: was established in Egypt, and that was a strell. It
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: was considered it was a terrorist organization. That's simple. You know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: one man's freedom fire fighter is another man's terrorists. It
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: depends on which side of your.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Care exist prior to nine to eleven or were they
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: something that rose afterwards.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, well, I don't know. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. I guess that existed before on nine to eleven.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I think care has been around for.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: A while June of nineteen ninety four.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, I'm just curious as to what can dance
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: was on nine to eleven, because if you remember, there
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: wasn't a whole lot of rush.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: By many parts of the Muslim community to condemn it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that was one of one of the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: big issues at a time. I'm trying. This was a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: long time ago. I mean, we're talking going back thirty
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: years over that. But yeah, memory serves that was I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: think our big bitch. We didn't accuse them of actually
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: doing anything or supporting financially in any other way the terrorism,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: but just them saying, look at their side, and there
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: is no their side on when it came to nine eleven.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: All right, Well this blows. A federal judge on Monday.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Struck down the Trump administration's ban on federal permits for
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: wind energy projects. Supporters say it's an important victory for
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: the renewable energy industry. Trump issued the ban on his
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: first day in office through an executive order. It called
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: for the temporary withdrawal of nearly all federal land and
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: waters from new or renewed wind energy leasing. The challenge
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: brought by seventeen attorneys general, including California. The US district
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: judge in the District of Massachusetts ruled that the ban
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: is arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Now, a couple of things about this. One. Number one
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is the president also stop the funding of projects that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we're getting federal money. For example, there's one huge one
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I think outside of New Jersey that was just nine finished,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: stopped at cold because it was federal money. And then
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: here is the argument about these leases. Lease. According to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: this LA Time story, these leases lead to grave harm,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: including negative effects on national security, transportation, and commercial interests.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Leases to power for wind power is of grave national security.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that connects, but so be it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of how you know. I can see, hey,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: we don't want wind power because I'm in favor of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: fossil fuels and I like Chevron a lot more than
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I like whatever wind power company is out there. But
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: national security, how is that? Where does that connect? And
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know the answer.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: To that, all right, Jimmy Kimmel you know, all this
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: hubbub that happened back gosh, some months back might have
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: been good for him at least for an extension for
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: another year.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Because that's what he got.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: He signed a one year contract extension with ABC, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Jimmy Kimmellive will continue through May twenty twenty seven. Previous
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: contract was set to expire May twenty twenty six.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: But one year, that seems measley.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I alway about to say the same thing.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: One year extension usually you think of it seems total
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: toast go for multiple years, ye five years.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Contra passed the memory and maybe and boot him.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I don't know if it's true or not,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: because are they all losing money or or not? Is
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Late Night now losing money?
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Well? There was a lot of talk that Colbert was
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: using millions of dollars or is losing millions of dollars
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: a year.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are not cheap to produce. I mean you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: look at Jimmy Fallon all right. There he was talking
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: about his show and what it costs to produce his show.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: There is one guy standing up and you got a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: bunch of guests showing up. I mean, how how inexpensively.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Can you possibly make it? You can't get cheaper than that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty people work on that show.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, those those shows, it's I mean, you've got tons of.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: People working on those shows to do it right.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Like we do here. We have hundreds and hundreds of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: people working on this show. Don't wait, that's yeah, that's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and that's Anne pretty much. I wish they'd do something then.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I know they used to. You know, we used to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: have producers and assistant producers all over the place. All
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: those days are changed. You know, it's it's difficult and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to puss that's true, thank.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: You, Okay. Fun fact, Kimmel's ratings spiked when he.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Came back on the air after he was taken off,
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: to like six million, but by early October now they're
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: under two million, and those are below his Q two numbers.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Late night is not what it used to be in
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: any way, shape or formed.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So what is what is? Local news isn't what it
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: used to be. National news isn't what it used to be.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Morning radio show, morning radio is certainly not what it
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: used to be. Well, especially after I got the gig
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three then it started collapsing. I understand that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, life has changed in many, many,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: many mini ways.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: It's electric. Boogie ugy ugy, not a song.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: New hospital at uc Irvine is going to open tomorrow
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: and it's going to be all electric. It's only the
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: second medical center in the US, and it's the largest
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: one in the US so far. U CI Health Vine
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: will have one hundred and forty four beds and again
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: entirely electric, no gas power.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You watch, starting next year, I'm going to get calls
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: on Handle on the Law from someone whose mother was
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: fried on one of these beds because she was electrocuted,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and it's going to be a really interesting case.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Yes, or they lose power because the gas the way
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: they have generator.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, by law, they have to have backup generators and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: those are going to be gas fired. And that's another
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: issue which we're going to talk about a little later on,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because you have so many of these utilities, etc. Have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to have backup and they're all fossil fuels, fossil fueled
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and there's a whole formula there. All right, No one more.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: There's an AI meme of somebody driving a Tesla with
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: a gas power generator in the back, going to the plug.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: All righty, it looks like maybe Congress is taking something
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: out of President Trump's playbook. They have this massive defense bill,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: policy bill, and it's got this provision in it that
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: would limit Defense Secretary Pete Haigsa's travel budget unless he
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: provides the House and Senate Armed Services Committee with an
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: unedited video of the US military strikes in the Caribbean.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: So this is kind of the Hey, you don't do
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: what we say, you don't get the money.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, it's not specifically, if you don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: give us the edit un edited version, we're going to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: withhold money. It gives them the power to withhold money.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: And we'll see if they if they use it, if
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Congress does, in fact, to your point, if they use
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: that bill to force Pete heads says to release the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: video and us do with that double tap back that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: has to do with the double tap. I think that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: they're not going to release it or fight like craziest
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: like the Epstein trial, like the Epstein file. Oh yes, yes, yes,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we'll release, will release, Will releases. Anybody's seen that file
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, yet it's about another weeks ago, give
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: or take or you know, ten days trickling.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: There was some pictures in some video that came out
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: recently but never liked them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: No, and this one, yeah, if it turns out that well,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: let me let me put it this way. We had
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: two conservatives, two liberals through, two Democrats, two Republicans who
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the leadership who saw that video right, The Republicans said,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: oh no, they were overturning the boat. They were trying
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to get back on. They were going to attack US forces.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I mean just on and on on that boat. They
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: had the world's first and only anti aircraft battery that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: works underwater that you can't see. I mean it goes
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: on and on where the Democrats saying, hey, these guys
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: were just hanging on to debris and they were killed. Okay,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: release the video. Let us see that because we've gotten
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: two versions. Now, Yes, they were still attacking. I don't
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: know how or were prepared to or know they were
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: just innocent guys. And you watch the President said, oh, yeah,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: we're released it. That was a week ago. Now. He said, well,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let heg Set decide.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Heg Set said, it doesn't make them innocent. It just
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: means that we weren't allowed to shoot them.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was no. And I'm not saying they're innocent.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: They were drug runners. I mean there's no question about that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It's does law allow you to shoot at and kill
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: combatants who are no longer a threat? No?
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: You called this early on.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: You said, if you've got the videos of hitting these targets,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: because they keep putting them out, you've got the one
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: of you hitting the second target.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, they have it. They just won't release
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that one video. And hegg says said, we're looking at it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: We have to be very careful in how we release it. Okay,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: moving on.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: These aren't your grandma's gummy bears. As you know, marijuana
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: edibles look like candy. And guess what kids are getting
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: into it. Seven students at a junior high in Prince
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: George County, Virginia got sick last month after they ate
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: edibles infused with THHC. A DC middle school student took
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: an edible to school and shared it with several classmates.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: At least one had to go to the hospital, and apparently,
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: as the number of states allow adult recreational cannabis use,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: the number of kids who are getting sick.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Going up to yeah, seven fifty, I'm doing that story
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and a personal story about this that happened to me.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Ee happened to me yesterday? You wow, yeah, I know
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: it is. Oh yeah, just happened yesterday, right in line
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: with this story. And I will explain coming up a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: seven fifty, And it's a good one. Even you guys
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: are going to say, oh, yeah, that's pretty good because
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: usually never do you want to Definitely, will you let
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: me know, Amy, will you remind me?
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I remind you?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Thanks, thank you? All right, reminding everybody? Go ahead.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, so you know, we all get old and you
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: got the wrinkles, the thinning hair, of course, little aches
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: and pains and all of that, and the brain slows down.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: But scientists at Texas A and M University they're looking
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: at away. They've discovered a way to recharge aging damaged cells.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: So this is like going to like the source. And
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: that means that the you know, certain conditions like Alzheimer's
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: and muscular dystrophe and even fatty liver disease could be.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Reversed.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: That's pretty science.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Crazy on the cellular level.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the science is incredible. We're just right on the verge. I,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I had heard and I believe this that kids that
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: are born today will easily live to one.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Hundred Oh yeah, I would imagine.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And during our lifetime, assuming we don't pop off next week,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: we're going to see at least that's what we're told
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: by science, is one hundred and ten hundred and twenty
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: years of age. And then the trick, of course, is
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the quality of life. That's a whole another one, you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: where we that's a big issue that we have to
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: deal with. Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: But if this, if it regenerates the cell.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe it regenerates brain cells.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: At the same time, can you imagine, can you imagine
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we're here fifty years from now, still telling the same
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: bad jokes.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Guess how much money we earned for from Katerina's club
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: for my backyard barbecue?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. All right, it's do one more, one more?
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Can you say preferential treatment? Maybe maybe not.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: US immigration judge has ordered the release of a Brazilian
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: woman who has family ties to White House Press Secretary
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Caroline Levett.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: So.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: She was taken to a Defend detention center in Louisiana
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: after immigration officers arrested her in Massachusetts on November twelfth.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Their name is Bruna for Ferrera.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: He was on a way to pick up her son
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: from school and was taken to the processing center. The
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: White House said that Farrea Ferreira had not spoken to
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Caroline love It in years, and that Ferrara had never
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: lived with her son.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: But still she has been granted bond.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which we'll see how far this one goes.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Also, keep in mind immigration judges are not independent judges.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: They work for the government, So that's for starters. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: second of all, what is that story that Anne gave
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: me this morning out of I think The Atlantic or
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: New York magazine about you know, remember we had that
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: lady on who had her son in law was picked up,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and I think's Orange County Register just had a huge
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: story about that and the way he was treated. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: what makes me think is, well, here's a stat for
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you from the Department of Health and Human Services, all right,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: right from DHS, they're telling us that seventy three percent
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: of those people that are picked up, that have been
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: detained do not have a criminal record of any kind.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Yet Christinom says, all we're picking up is the worst
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: of the worst but wait a minute. You say, seventy
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: three percent don't have a criminal record. The response, the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: worst of the worst is who we're going after? All right,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: seventy three percent. All right, we're done. And by the way,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of course, anybody connected to the administration is going to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: be looked at very, very differently. I'm surprised she was
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: picked up at all. If they knew who she was,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: why would they even pick her up with a connection
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to Caroline Levitt? All right, we're done, guys. This is
• 30:39
