• 1:08
  Speaker 3: is true. When I was asked to sign a document,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: whoever came into the office my office would have to
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: hold the corner of the document while I was signing.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Could not let it go.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Oh you know how many times I've been put on handlewatch.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: When you had a document, your old partner Karen would
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: call me and say, can you make sure that you
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: take this to him? Walk it to his car. At
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: least it'll be in his car.

• 1:47
  Speaker 3: my eyeball. I took a little spill and it's actually

  Speaker 3: won the fight.

  Speaker 3: kick her and she moved and I ended up kicking
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the bathtub.

  Speaker 3: of a hit, There's no question about it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.

  Speaker 1: Is the picture up on social I saw it this morning.

  Speaker 3: the camera. It is a pretty good shiner, isn't it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: And I had a military doctor or something, because she
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: sitched you up pretty good.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Actually she had did.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And I went to uh the hospital and I went
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to urgent care and they glued it shut. Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they used super glue and it was pretty good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: And it's exactly the same super glue that we buy
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: in the store. It's under sanitary or sterile, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: they make it a little bit. Uh, they're more careful
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But that's well, really I didn't know that that's what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: they call it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, you look like you're stoned right now?

  Speaker 3: Anaheim white House dot Com. Okay, I can't think of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: anything else going on. Let me see, end of the month?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: April got are we already into May?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Didn't it stand?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: First of the year? Didn't it?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Just?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just zips by so quickly these days.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Just it just seems like yesterday was April twenty six.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It is going at an incredibly rapid rate right now,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: because I feel like we're going to hit summer in
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: no time.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: We are, and it's going to be interesting weather, to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: say the least. All Right, guys, ready to do it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: It's time for handle on the news, Amy Neil and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: me lead story. Well, we're talking about that suspected gunman
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: a whole lot Cole Thomas Allen who rudely interrupted the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: White House Correspondence dinner by trying to break in. Well,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: if we think trying to break into the ballroom and
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: he was actually couldn't couldn't get near the perimeter because
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: well it got near one perimeter, but they stopped him cold.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, they did exactly what they wanted to do,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: or they should have done. So Yeah, frankly, I don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: think it's that big a deal because there are crazy
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: people out there constantly, and the Secret Service is right
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: on top of it, I mean, with security these days.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the fact that one was actually shot, even
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: though he had a bulletproof vest on or the off.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Way, one Secret Service guy or one officer was shot.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little scared, you know, but keeping but
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: keep in mind, anybody can buy a gun. Anybody. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: this guy Alan checked into the hotel. People do not
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: go through magnometters magnometers when going through a hotel, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: your baggage is not searched when you're checking into the hotel,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: so it's easy access to get into the lobby. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: he never got near the doors.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But he had to fly with weaponry, which you can
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: do if you check it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: But oh, he took a train. He bought the guns,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: allegedly bought the guns here in California, and then took
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: a train across country Chicago down to DC.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: So I frankly, in Chicago they make sure you have
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: guns when you end yes to me. To me, the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: story is not that huge a deal because it's security
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: was there. It did exactly what it should have done.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: This was the first layer of security. There are plenty
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: more that we don't even know about. What I find
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: interesting with this story is all sudden on the internet.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: What has exploded is this is an inside job.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: This is.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, that it was planned. It was all planned. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: don't know anybody who thinks that way. And also, Lindsey
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: think absolutely suspicious about all three of the attempts. None
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: of them are real attempts by real people wanted to
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: kill the president.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: The president got in the air.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I missed the dates when only the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: far right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Come on, there's no mark at all.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You know the confugion.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You know what I heard? That's you know, that's a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: good that's a good idea.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Let's uh get a picture of his ear, a closer
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: picture of the ear, and see if there's any kind
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: there's none?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Are you sure? I am positive? Nothing? All right?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I want to look at that, Okay, I want to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: look at that is out there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Man, I'll tell you.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: The biggest confusion Bill was that cash Bateel kept yelling
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: shots shots, shots, shots, shot shots, and people thought it
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was about the gun. But he was just drinking.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Did you hear the part of I was jumping in
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: on that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: He's like tequila.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Cash Battel was intentionally not targeted.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Apparently right, Yes, he was as a matter of fact.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: In the manifesto it said, and not cash Patel as
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: a target.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, which is kind of interesting. They felt
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: sorry for him with that eye and all talking about me.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: No, with my eye. Okay, I'm misunderstanding. You see, when
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you don't talk about me, it's always about me. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: always conflate everything about me.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's that bunky I.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: In general, he's got that late you got that lazy eye.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Do you know what ice I saw online the other
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: day as someone called him mortgage eye, and I'm like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: what does that mean? And then they then they stated,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: because one is fixed and one is variable, that's rough mortgageize.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Actually, look who's not talking. Iran says it will end
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: the choke hold on the Strait of Hormuz. If the
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: US stops blockading Iran and ends the war. That's Iran's
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: new proposal to the US. Iran's foreign minister made a
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: brief return to Islamabad Sunday, as Pakistan's leaders are trying
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: to revive peace talks between Tehran and Washington, although President
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Trump said discussions could instead take place over the phone.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Now, didn't he say that Iran is they've they've called
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: the White House and they're desperate for some kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: a deal. Then you say that last week, and then
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Iran pointed out they don't even have telephones.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There's we're getting two different stories.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Every time the President says a, Iran says, b Nope,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: that's not happening.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And we don't even know the leaders are. It could
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have been a prank call.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Could have been and the President says, we don't know who.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: We don't even know who we're talking to. Now, those
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: in the nose say that that leadership is in place.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I mean they prepared for it. The Revolutionary Guard is
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: right there controlling the country more so than it ever has.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: And so you know, we're getting obviously two very different
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: stories here, and the two sides are very very apart.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And the blockade continues, blockade on both parts straight, oh horror,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: moves completely blockaded in by the Iranians, and then the
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: US is blockading the Iranian ports. Any ship going in
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: or out of Irania, well they're just not letting it happen.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: No ship leaves Iranian ports, those ship goes to an
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Iranian port to unload. So it's all at a stall.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Trump never misses a beat to use any event, any
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: circumstance to promote what he wants to promote.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And in this case, it's the security that would.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Come with the White House ballroom that has faced a
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: bunch of illegal challenges, threatened to shut down the project,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: of course. And he says that this shooting wouldn't have
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: happened if he had his military grade ninety thousand square
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: foot ballroom that he has been trying to build in
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: the East Wing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And he says, that's what you need. You know, can't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: To a hotel, you get hotel security you go to
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: is reinforced. Well, ninety thousand square foot ballroom.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not fair. I mean, you get a lot
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: more than hotel security. But he's absolutely right. Is if
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: there is a ballroom and nobody else is allowed in
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: no hotel guests. Everybody is vetted. The security is far,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: far tighter. He's right about that. Well, sure you could
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: hold it in a bunker too, you could.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Nobody's right.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I mean it's and he talks about security, but conflating
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the whole issue of security, because he's been pushing so
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: far for national security everything underneath the bunker underneath, which
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: is a legitimate national security argument, that they need one
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: underneath the White House, then that is the basis for Therefore,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: if we need one under the White House, then we
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: need a ballroom on top of that bunker.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Oh we got all this room now that we build, yes, bunker, Well, yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: put something on top of it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Wasted time. Apparently that's what the President is saying. All
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: that travel is between the US and Pakistan. And so
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: he has called off Witcoff and Kushner, who were planning
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: to go to Islamabad for more possible peace talks with Iran.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: But now he said, nah, let's just stay home for now.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he points out fifteen hour flight, I mean
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: for nothing, because last time it was for nothing. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: then my question about these flights is it's usually aboard
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: air Force two certainly when JD Vance goes or other
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: high ranking airplanes for high ranking people, I think they
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: have bedrooms. I know Air Force one certainly does, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing that Air Force two does. I'd like to
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: look that up. That's a good deal. That's better than
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: first class when you have your own bedroom.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I would imagine they would have to. No, they wouldn't know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't They can share something.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, they have the super super chairs, Yeah
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: they do. And for White House, for the White House reporters,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: there's a whole section and those are kind of neat
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: first class seats, but I don't think they have sleepers.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: You don't like to figure out the configuration. I'm going
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to look that up during the break because that's kind
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: of neat.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: This one's gonna hit you in the wallet pill. They've
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: got enough signatures to tax the rich. California is so
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: called billionaire tax has the signatures, of course, because the
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: poor want to tax the rich. So backers of the
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: proposed California Billionaire's Tax believe they have gathered enough signatures
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: to get the initiative on the November ballot. Tax proposed
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: by Service Employees International United healthcare workers west lot to say,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: which represents more than one hundred and twenty thousand healthcare workers.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: They want it to offset the cuts to healthcare funded
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: that President trump spending law last year pulled some money in.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is over a billion dollars, so yeah, I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: right up there, aren't I. So here is the If
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I did have a billion dollars, you think I'd wake
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: up in the morning and do this show.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have my assistance assistant assistant do this show.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: You'd pay someone to fall for you. Yeah, for sure.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: And here's a deal. It's five percent of net worth.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: A one time fee.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that is my question. A one time fee.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: When does the next one hit the ballot? When?
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, one time fee?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Because if you look at every almost every.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Bill in which taxes are are mandated for anybody that's wealthy,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: anything dealing with high end taxes, and they're supposed to sunset,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: they never sunset ever ever.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: And I did the math on this. There's two hundred
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: people who are billionaires in California and each one of
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: them would pay fifty million dollars one time.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: So how much is that set?
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: A billion? I don't know. I didn't finish the math.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, partial math.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's a one time feed offset the budget deficit.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Next year there's going to be a So let's say
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: it takes care of a year or partially takes care
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: of a year, and we go into deficit the next year.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: What do we do, Oh, I don't know. We'll figure
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: out some other way. And you are right, it's easy
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: to tax the rich. And the rich don't have that much,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: they're not invested with that much political power. They have plenty,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: but what do they do defend themselves.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Well, if we have more poor people than we do
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: rich people, why don't we tax the poor? Well, we
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: used to tax the middle class. I mean to your point,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: it's you know, maybe you're going a little bit too far.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe just say take.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Away their big screen TVs and.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, because they're given big screen TVs. So and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: by the way, a big screen TV costs forty dollars today.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: The point is is that it used to be the
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: middle class that paid all the taxes, the great middle class,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: that was the secret of the American success.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But there is no middle class.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: There is no middle class.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: So it is now the wealthy pay the vast majority
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: of the taxes.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: And it's ten billion dollars by the way.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, and we're in deficit, what twenty five billion dollars
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: this year or so, it's forty percent.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Say yet, Elon Musk, just do it. Oh he left California.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: That's the other thing is these zillionaires, you know, say
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I'm sort of done. I don't live in California anymore.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: So you can take the taxes that I have been
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: paying and shove them.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Right because there are billionaires. They can go have their
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: primary residence in any place, yeah, porter, Yeah, and have
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: a vacation home in California.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: But California will still fight for it. California, the franchise
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: tax Board. It's the taxation and the determined who lives
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: where you. Believe me, it's a huge fight to argue
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: that you don't owe the money in California.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: All right, smile, you're on candid camera. There's been a
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: rash of burglaries in the San Fernando Valley home invasions,
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: and in response to that, a mobile surveillance unit has
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: been installed at the intersection of inter Boulevard and Ethyl Avenue.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: It uses artificial intelligence to track potential suspects. The device
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: monitors the area twenty four hours a day, analyzes video,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: distinguishes between animals, people, vehicles, and then any activity the
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: AI deemed suspicious is sent to a specialized call center
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: where human operators can dispatch help in real time. Aaron Theiss,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: who's an ACS security spokesperson, says, we have provided information
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: footage license plates to LAPD that have actively assisted in
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: their investigations and some of those cases to arrests.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of controversy in terms
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: of how far the authorities can dive into your life
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and your conversations. And I'm going to be doing some
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: of that at seven point thirty because I think it's surprising.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I was only the other thing it is surprising.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Do you know that National Security Agency, the NSA, which
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: is overseas all of the intelligence. I mean, people think
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the FBI is big and nothing compared to the NSA.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Do you know any cell phone conversation? Any and all
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: cell phone conversations are recorded, all of them. You get
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: on your cell phone, done same thing, I believe, same
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: thing with texts. Now, then you have algorithms that figure
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: out I mean, God help you. If you are searching
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: for pressure cookers and you're looking to buy one, ooh,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: that's a tough one. Or you're giving a review of
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: a movie and you think it's a bomb. That's not
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: going to be helpy. I say that movie was a bomb.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Oh hello, mister FBI, Yes, sir.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: You gotta love the dichotomy though, because you have all
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: these so called influencers that if you're eating on a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: porch at a restaurant, they come up to you and
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: test the First Amendment to be able to record you
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: in public, and everybody says that's okay, that's okay. But
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: the minute the government does it and they say it's public.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: If you're in the public, you're in the public exactly.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: And we're going to talk more about that at seven thirty.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: All right, this is interesting.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina said just yesterday he
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: would support Kevin Worsh's confirmation as Federal Reserve chair. This
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: is the last obstacle basically installing President Trump's pick, e is,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: even though Jerome Powell was his pick, wasn't he originally Yes?
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Now he can't stand the man keep wanting to leave
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Powell put his heels in the sand. But this was
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: the last basic obstacle and so now you can go through.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one where Tillis wanted, well, I mean
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the Republicans and the President wanted Worsh's nomination to go through.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And Tillis is so upset about Jerome Powell and this investigation,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: this investigation without any merit at all against Jerome Powell,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: because that's what the administration does. If you're a perceived enemy,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: you go after him with a passion. And the President
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: uses Department of Justice and Tillis can stop a vote
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: from coming forward out of committee because it's his committee,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and he can say no vote. And so they're they're
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: playing chicken. And finally what happened is the Just Department said, Okay,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: we're gonna drop it. We're going to drop the investigation
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: against Jerome.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Powell because there isn't anything there.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Anyway you're going to see warsh is going to be
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: the next fed share.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Not much of a price to pay. Remember, there was
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: that explosion in South LA happened in June of twenty
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: twenty one. The LAPD bomb squad miscalculated the size of
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: a planned detonation of seized fireworks, and it wiped out
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: part of a neighborhood, leveled part of a city block,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: destroying dozens of homes, cost the city millions in lawsuit payouts. Well,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: were the police officers involved punished, Well, that's been very
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: closely guarded until recently when an internal affairs investigative file
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: for the incident's surfaced online. Six bomb squad officers were
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: on scene that day, and the leaked file shows that
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: they all escaped escaped serious discipline. The harshest punishment was
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: suspension of eighteen days without pay.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: And they're investigating the committee from Disney that came over
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: there figure out how they were to do those kinds
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: of fireworks with so few people. It's a Disney joke
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: with fireworks every night at nine thirty during the summer
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and only on weekends during Okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Well, it looks like King Charles the Third and King
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: President my apologies, President Donald Trump will be meeting after all.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Buckingham Pella said that King Charles will visit the US
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: this week. They're going to proceed with a planned connection
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: and sit down, I suppose. Even though the security concerns
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: were raised by Saturday's shooting there at the Washington dinner.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: So they say, we've been fully informed with everything going on,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and we feel secure.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I find this fascinating that the King of England is
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our revolt
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: against England. For somehow, that's a great deal for England.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Tell me about that one.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we made up.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: We did make up. There's no question about it. Eventually
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: we did make up. And also, no, I'm not gonna
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: go there. I'm not going there that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I can't decipher that one.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Now I know me neither almost Oh yeah, okay, you
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I hear where I'm gonna go.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: He's gonna, I think, up here before a joint session
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: of Congress. He's going to address Congress, which very very
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: rarely happens. Charles Is I think so that's why I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: said I don't want to go there, because I'm not sure.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, but you're gonna make some sort of joke. They
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: were worried about him getting shot in the ear and
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: bleeding out.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Now are we going to go? This is King Charles
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the second? Are we going to go to uh? The third?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: President Trump? The first? Okay, moving on.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Almost time for trial. There's been a year long battle,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: years long battle between Elon Musk and open Ai. Jury
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: selection in the lawsuit starts today. Opening arguments in Northern
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: California are expected tomorrow. In the suit, Elon Musk accuses
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Sam Altman, Open AI president Greg Brockman, and others of
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: misleading him about the company's plans to transition from nonprofit
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: to a for profit business. And the outcome of this
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: case could have a significant impact on the AI industry
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: and if it goes Musk's way, could derail open AI's
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: future IPO plans.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Now, would you ever think of Elon Musk arguing that
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: he should not have shares in a company that's for
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: profit and he is arguing it was a He argues
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: that his what forty four million dollars was actually a
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: donation to a nonprofit. That's what the issue of this
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: case is and it has implications, far reaching implications. As
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Amy just said.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: All right, could you imagine being out at Stagecoach, which
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: is the follow up concert after Coachella, the two weekends
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: of a Coachella, and the big screens we all know
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: and love that show the concert start flashing emergency evacuation
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: the festival has been postponed until further notice. Please move
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: quickly and calmly to the nearest exit. Well, that's what
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: happened this weekend because of the high winds sixty five
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: miles per hour at peak, and they had to shut
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: things down.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the wind calm down a couple hours later.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So what's weird about the debt?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Don't you think this would happen more in that area
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: with these concerts because it's just so unpredictable when that
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: win will kick up.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Well, and we've done concerts several of them where it
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: started raining and they had to stop and cancel it
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: or or something like that, but not just because of
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: the high winds. And our editor, Carla's daughter was out
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: there and said it was a little bit harrowing because
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: people started getting separated from each other. I mean there's
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: one hundred thousand people out there.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not only that's all running massive scaffolding and equipment
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: and speaker you know, pillars, and yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: It's scary.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: NFL is apparently going to Hollywood. So not only do
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: they kill it in the ratings with football, they're looking
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: to expand their audience with theatrical motion pictures. And scripted
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: streaming series. One of the upcoming movies is about John Madden.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Another is a Christmas Day release about an unlikely hero
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: for the New York Giants. And then there's also The Land,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: which is coming to Hulu centered on fictional characters, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: the Cleveland Browns that stars Christopher Maloney, Mandy Moore, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: William H. Macy Love Him Now.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: There have been films about NFL players in the past
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Teams Yeah, Yeah, New Rockney, and there was one about
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Jim Thorpe and a few others. But this is the
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: first time in the NFL itself is going to be
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: producing movies, and that is fairly big news.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Because the NFL is, i would say, reasonably popular. More
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: people watch the Super Bowl.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: For example, one hundred and ten hundred and fifteen million
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: people watch the Super Bowl. And a Disneyland story Amy
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: correct me if I am wrong, is that it is
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: told to us. It's a myth. That's the best place
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: to go to on Super Bowl Sunday is to go
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: to Disneyland. And the problem is one hundred and ten
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: million people are watching the Super Bowl, which leaves two
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million people that are not and they're
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: all going to Disneyland.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, there's nothing to that myth.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: All right, Uh listen, calm down, everybody. There's something new
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: to be worried about. How about we get some of
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: that flesh eating New World screw worm out here more
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: and more closing in on the US. So they found
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: cases of this flesh eating infection miles from the Texas
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: border with Mexico. And that's making people freaked out because
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: we once eradicated this and the New World screw worm
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: worm flies feed on warm blooded animals and humans to
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: create painful house smelling wounds. This is uh yeah, they
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: put their they spread when the female flies lay eggs
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: and open wounds. They can be very tiny. They also
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: go in animals nose, eyes, ears, mouth, all that stuff.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: But there these It was once eradicated in nineteen sixty six,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: and then we had some new ones come up in
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: the two thousands and we've been fighting them by you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: we do this with mosquitos too, where they they don't
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: cast right, but they make it so they can't reproduce.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, I have a question real quick, this technical question. CONO.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing some static from Neil. Is that me or
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: is that actually happening to everybody? Oh, it is, okay, it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Always getsthetic from me.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: That's a craft, but it's we have a technical glitch.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: So Neil, why don't you, you know, hang up the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: phone and you can call back or you can go
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: back on the microphone tomorrow.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: That's okay, great.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's why don't we finish this one up?
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, we are done. So here's the question. Who
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: is Cole Thomas Allison Allen, the guy who tried to
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: assassinate we assume President Trump at the correspondence dinner, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: so we'll cover a little.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Bit of that today. In the meantime, this is KFI
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: A M sixty.
• 32:57
