• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Joining Kushner and Witkoff. They're going they're going to Pakistan
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to try to end this war in Iran. Now what's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: very interesting is and I feel sorry for jd Vance.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: He is he has publicly come out against the war.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He has said that we shouldn't get into foreign wars.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: This is previously and now he has to change it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: over and defend the war. I mean, he has no choice.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Off he's the vice president. He's got to do what
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: his boss says. But man, there's a lot going on.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about that. And yesterday we talked
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: about was it yesterday the day before when the President
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: said if the Strait of Horror moves isn't open up,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we didn't destroy I'm going to destroy Iran, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the civilization which is going to be destroyed.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: That made a huge deal. I didn't. I never thought
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that was what happened. That's his bluster. That's what he does.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: H So I had to open by five o'clock, so
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the attack was off and the strait still closed.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And at this point the United States has gotten zero
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for the attack.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Nothing, nada. So we'll see what the talk said. What
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: is it like, mild military discomfort? Uh right?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, they no, you think it's just mild military.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: No got nailed. No, they got nailed. I mean Iran
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: got nailed. But the problem with Iran, and we're talking
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: about this is the Iranian regime. By the way, it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a new regime, right, It's.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: That's a new regime. It's now hard but even harder.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Lineability for nuclear weapons they still have.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course they do.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And the point is is that Iran the regime is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like Hamas. It does not matter as long as they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: stay in power. They don't care how many of their
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: citizens die and how much. Yeah, they don't care how
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: much of their country is destroyed.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, Uh, Donald and Bib may not be on the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: same page right now. So President Trump of course is
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: trying to get a piece deal they want. He wants
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: to end this thing, and uh, Israel is just bombing
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the crap out of Lebanon.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's problem.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's a problem. Usually they're on the same page. And uh,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the President said to Netagna, who calm it down, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: take a take a softer approach, and Neta who responds
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: with the biggest attack of the war so far against Hezbollah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I mihud you.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Well, BIB actually stands for bum bum bum bum. All right,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: this was interesting and I'm not sure where to place it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: The first lady Milania Trump, who usually stays kind of
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: in the Shadows came out yesterday and said she she
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: had this press conference, said she never had a relationship
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Maxwell.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: She says it's that she's never been friends with Epstein.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: She said, I'm not Epstein's victim. Epstein did not introduce
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: me to Donald Trump. Now, I've heard these rumors and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: and I've even said on the air before some time
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: ago that I don't know if Donald Trump is in
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: those files in the way people cars is. Well, I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: saying he's absolutely in those but he does have an
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: attitude that he's protecting something, if not himself, then someone else,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: and I thought it might be her.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But this is this is a weird one. And here's why.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: What the what Trump's trying to do is put this acide.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: That's no big deal. Epstein is small potatoes. Let's we
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have other things to worry about. His wife comes out
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and puts Epstein back on the front burner.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Well, some were joking yesterday that Trump starts a war
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: with Iran to take our eyes off of the Epstein files,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and now he's bringing the Epstein files back up to
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: take our eyes off.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: We're going to go back and forth.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But she spent I mean, she was not happy and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: talked about how she had nothing to do with it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and people that said that she does.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Or but why now are we going to get a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: drop another drop of files? Or are we going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: get what?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And Pam BONDI was subpoened by the House Oversight Committee
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and she has she won't appear. She said subpoena this yeah, yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: well yeah, probably true. But she says, I'm no longer
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the attorney Ja, I'm no longer the attorney General. I don't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: have to show up, which is crap. By the way,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of course she has to show up. Otherwise, anybody quit
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: any job, right, anybody was peanut has to show up.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So you know, they just make up rules. But there's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: stuff going on.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Still, have you been subpoena? I have not ever I
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: have been subpoena. Okay, I thought so. I have.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: About to throw on the brakes. So the Artemis two
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: astronauts are on their way back to Earth. This is
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: bill handle. The four astro nuts flew around the Moon
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: and they're going to splash it down this evening. They're
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: going to go up to twenty five thousand miles an hour,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: and then they slam on the brakes when they hit
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the atmosphere, and then we lose radio contact with them
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: for about six minutes and hope that everything goes well.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: And if it does, we'll see them splash down at
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: five oh seven off the coast of San Diego.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be terrific as they you know, they lose
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: communication as they go around the moon. Wouldn't it be
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: great as they we did communication or reconnected as and.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Then they moon the cameras all the way down. Yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you know what I would do.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I would just tell the crew. I said, Okay, we're
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: coming back three seconds. Everybody screamed. Yeah, they're like Houstons,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: But we wish them well. It is probably the most
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: nail biting part.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Rod Pyle at seven thirty.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: All right, Federal judge finds Pentagon is violing the court order.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: If you remember, there was all the hubbub with the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Defense Department saying, hey, listen, as far as reporters go,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: we're resetting things. We're going to say who gets where.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: You're not going to have his open access to things
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: as once before the US District Judge Paul Friedman sided
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: in this case with the New York Times and said, no,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: that's unconstitutional. And so far the Pentagon is not playing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And so far, and here's the good news, the administration
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is paying attention to court orders. What Pete headsig I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: tried to do is go around this court order by
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: playing chess and moving a couple of rules around in
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the court said, no, you can't do that. If the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: administration just tells the court, we don't care what you say,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: just not interested, which can be done because Nixon threatened
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that there's no place to go because the court doesn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have police. The court doesn't have any enforcement ability.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: There's no extra superior And is that so far? So good?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration is paying attention to what the court
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: is saying so far, and it may stay that way, hopefully.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Parents protesting the LA School District and three unions are
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: still talking. If they don't come up with a new
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: contract deal, a strike would start on the fourteenth. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: it's not only teachers, but administrators and workers and everyone.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of people.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: So parents held a news conference outside school district headquarters
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: yesterday and basically said we want you to settle this,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: and they said, just you know, pay the teachers what
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: they're asking for.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's but that's what they've been doing in the past.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk more about this at seven o'clock.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And you know what's caught up in the middle of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: all this.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Are a thousand kids.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Neil Sabra, whose kid goes to public school.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be interesting time. A lot of
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the parents are concerned. We may be the house that
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: has because we both work from home, so we may
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: be the house that takes care of all the kids.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: All right, and we're going to talk about that coming
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: up at seven o'clock.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I know everybody's excited amy about having the Olympics
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, but now you've got some officials expressing
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: these fears that seem to be growing. The taxpayers in
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the city treasury could be hit with a round of
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: what they refer to as crippling costs to support the
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight Olympic Games here in the city.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: And we're not talking about the price of tickets.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, we're not.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: You know, create all the memes about how bad, how
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: hard it is to get tickets and how stupid the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: system is and all that stuff.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And also crippling costs are not about the parallel Olympics either,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: It is about the regular Olympics.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: This is different. This is not a physical.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm going to do that story coming up
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: at seven twenty. And then a factoid that I'm going
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to ask about.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Where you're going to find your next wife at the Paralympics.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Soggin married twice. You're a big aniss. Okay. Uh.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Neither snow nor rain, nor heat nor gloom of night.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: But coyotes. That's another story. So in Carson there are
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: concerns about more and more aggressive coyotes, so much so
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: that the post Office has stopped delivering mail to some
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: of the homes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, coyotes.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: You know, when a coyote mates with a dog, like
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a regular dog, the progeny, there is a more vicious coyote.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It's really strange. Now, it's more vicious than it would
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: normally be. Just if they made it with another coyote.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Could they mate with any breed? I don't know. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: think so. I would imagine I think so Chihuahua. Maybe no.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: No, the CIA, yeah no, the Chiawa explodes, I know
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: if they have started mating. But my dog, my little Gucci,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: got eaten by a coyote. Coyote had had her for breakfast,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and it was really it was tough.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It was tough. That's sad. It was sad. I mean,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: it's the circle of life, actually a circle of death
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: in that case, not for the one eating. That's correct.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: FBI they found the alleged leaker of the down fighter jet,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and the FBI arrested them former US Special Operations Command
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: employee allegedly leaking the downed downing of the F fifteen
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: E fighter jet shut down over Iran last week. Who
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: does I don't understand who does that?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: To what benefit? Did you leak that kind of information?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: You don't know? So traitorous and it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Is there's you know, the President said that two things.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Number one, going after the leaker, which is legitimate, who's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: going to argue First Amendment? Which is crap? I hope
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he goes to jail for a very long time. And
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: then the issue is going after the publication. I think
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in this one was was it the New York Times
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that first published this? You know what they're going to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: get away with it at times. That is first Amendment
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: because they didn't leak it. It was already leaked. All
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they did was published, So they're not going to get
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: nailed on this. But this guy, the problem is, I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: don't even think the Iranians knew that the plane was
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: shot down until the leak.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: And if it turned out that they did know, then
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: no harm, no foul. Yeah, but he didn't know that
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: or she or whoever. Is it a mail? I think
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: it is a mail, So I don't know. I just
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that type of thing drives me nuts. Yeah, you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: send him to Iran say this is your prison. Okay.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: So a settlement has been reached between the State of
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Maryland and the owner and operator of that big old
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: cargo ship that crashed into the bridge in Baltimore two
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: years ago, causing it to just collapse. The settlement in
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: principle was reached and resolves a portion of the state's
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: claims rising from the ship's crash into the Francis Scott
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Key Bridge, which has not been rebuilt up the state people.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: The Attorney General says, our work is not finished, but
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: this settlement is an important step toward making Maryland whole again.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: This is an interesting one because the operator of the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ship paid three hundred and fifty million dollars. Now we're
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: only talking to Maryland, not to the individuals that were involveduse.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I think it were a couple of debts and the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: insurance company for Maryland wrote a three hundred and fifty
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: million dollar check the maximum. They basically took policy limits.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So Maryland got seven hundred million dollars. And my guess
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is their premiums are going to go up.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Just guessing, well, it's going to cost between four point
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: three and five point two billion.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where they replaced the bridge and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: where are they going to get that?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Where are they going to get that? All right?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: The Department of Justice reportedly opened an investigation on an
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: interesting group, the NFL. They are looking into anti competitive
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: tactics that harm consumers.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: According to their Wall Street Journal.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Of course it does, because you've got an entire league
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: that's representing all the teams and the consumer. I mean,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you have no say in what's broadcast and what isn't.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And there's no competition although it is a monopoly. The
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: NFL absolutely and Congress gave them the monopoly.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: How and why?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Because it's an exception was what was it called here,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Broadcasting Act Because the way the NFL works, it
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is an entity and they split all the proceeds among
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the teams simply the way they work. Otherwise, the teams
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: are competing for each other for television rights, and there's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: some teams that would get more, and then you have
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: certain people that would pay more for watching certain games,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and they didn't want to do that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: It would be pretty complicated. It basically protects the crappy
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: little teams, not that there are.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Any to put together. Didn't the Rock try and put
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: together a competitive football?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not talking about a competitive league. We're talking
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: about within the NFL. And so it's true. I don't
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: know what I think Congress is working on it, although
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: asking the courts you're talking about the Department of Justice
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: is asking the court to overturn that act, the Sports
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting Act, as unconstitutional, effectively in violation Sherman anti trust.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: But you know why, it's because you can't see the
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: games just broadcast free anymore. They're saying that it's because
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: everybody has to pay for them and they're charging too much,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: and by doing that they're violating that whole exception.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're competition usually where they compete against each other.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: The whole concept of competition.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Not only is there no competition and it hasn't been
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty one, but to your point is you
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: cannot get free football games anymore because everything is paid for,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: because it all changed with streaming.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, would you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Ever thought that Amazon would broadcast TV Game would broadcast
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: NFL games, or Peacock would broadcast and you pay for those.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: And you pay big for him if you want, like
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: the NFL package.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was listening to an interview with somebody who
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was attacking this. People pay one thy twelve hundred dollars,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars to watch all the games and it's big,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: big money.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, crazy First Amendment freakoffs. Shawn Combs was in
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: court yesterday. His attorneys are requesting he immediately be released
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: from prison and for his conviction to be overturned. He's
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: serving a fifty month prison sentence for prostitution related charges,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: and his lawyers, among other things, argued that the freak off,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: orchestrated with girlfriends and male sex workers, were, as they
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: put it, highly choreographed sexual performances that were basically amateur
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: pornography and should be protected by the First Amendment.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Now I don't think he's going to get that, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to be released because, as his
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: lawyers argued, defendants normally get less than.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Fifteen months for this prostitution.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Well for these convictions what he was convicted about for,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and he was acquitted of the major stuff that he
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: could have gotten a lot more. However, I think, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the judge is the appeals court going to say, yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: it's yeah. In the end say we wouldn't agree with
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: what the judge says, but it's within the parameter.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: If I had to guests, yeah, he's going to be
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: let go because there are fans.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Of how the hell did that happen?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: All righty, small aircraft you heard this morning during wake
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: up call? Two people crashed Thursday afternoon on Catalina Island,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: so says the FAA.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: They confirmed this.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: The plane a twenty fourteen airplane factory sling, I.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Don't know, do you know what that is?
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: No, I no idea took off from a Zappardi field
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: in Torrents ten fifty three am was last seen at
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: eleven thirteen am near Avalon, and I guess the aircraft
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: was en route to the island, crashed in Avalon around
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: twelve twenty pm. Kind of a rugged are not easy
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: accessible area, but both were dead upon.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: If you ever talked to anybody who's flown in and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: out of Catalina, it is a tough airport. It is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: one of the most difficult airportort. No, it head feet right,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it's runway and if you go past the runway you're
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in the ocean.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're off. So scary. Have you been up there?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: If not in an airplane?
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Not an airplane, but you can take tours up there
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: where you go up there and it is the shortest,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: shortest runway you've ever seen.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more I think we have time for.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Is this an oxymoron? A cheap Tesla. Tesla is apparently
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: developing a new electric car regionally. Recently has approached suppliers
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: to talk about the manufacturing processes and components specifications for
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: a new vehicle that would be less expensive than the
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: why model, also smaller than the nearly fifteen foot y model.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: It would be a brand new vehicle, not a variant
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: of the existing Model three or why lineup?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't think it is an oxymoron because I've
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: had a Tesla. I had one for two weeks if
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you remember the story. And yeah, I think it's a
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: cheap car. Oh yeah, I was not impressed with it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Oh I think they're beautiful. I don't own one. I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: was not.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people either hate them or love them.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Woody and he had one, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: he hated it as much as I hated mine.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Some people just don't like them. Maybe just main talk
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: show hosts fat ones? What is not fat? No? What
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: is that?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not fat? You know, I keep on going in
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: my mind. I got a lot of bar in your head.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I am bodied. Dysmorphia.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They can tie your stomach up, but they can't. I know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: A weigh the pain. I know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I'm still in my head. I weigh over three hundred
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: pounds even though I'm one hundred and eighty three.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I have pictures you, I just I know.
