  Speaker 3: It is not? It is not. It is the same.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, I got a lot going on. The
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: big story, of course, is the rain. And we'll do
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit of politics, not very much. We have
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Hitler News always interesting.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: We enjoy Hitler News, don't we.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And uh, well, you know what, we may actually even
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: though there's a Costco story in the Footy Friday segment,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we may actually blow past the Costco story.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Woe.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: We'll probably put now, we'll probably put it in. We'll
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: probably put it in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: We are talking about what do you mean the Costco story?
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: These are put in there for you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I understand that. But what I'm saying is maybe we're overdoing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Not that this show overdes leaders love it. How do
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, because they tell me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the other thing. One listener tells you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: This is one of the things A little inside Baseball here,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: boys and girls. All right, since most listeners do not
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: write in and the only ones that do email us
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: or deal with it are people that hate us.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: All right, people that like us.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Put it this way, negative feelings are much stronger than
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: positive feelings.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: So you get so much mail?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. So let me ask this.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: There was a time that does not anymore that one
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: negative letter represented how many people listening to the show.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Roughly one hundred back in the day.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Just one hundred. Yeah, I thought it was one hundred thousand.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: One letter was one hundred a million people.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Hold on, let's just make this quick hate Hey, Kno,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: what's the most listened to downloaded podcast segment of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Bill Handles Show.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: That would be Foody Friday?
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, so really people have spoken?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Is that true? Yeah?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: It's every month.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: The top three are usually the FOODI free.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: So I think we learned something and an apology is
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: due to me. Wow, I'll take I'd rather have an
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: apology from the BBC. All right, let's move on, guys.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It is time for Handle on the News with Amy
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Neil and Me lead story, and it is the rain.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: All southern California under severe weather threat. It has not
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: yet hit Burbank. It has not yet hit Orange County,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: where I happen to be today. But as Amy said,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Santa Barbara has already gotten two and a half inches
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of rain.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean that is not good news.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Because it's okay, excuse me, Hope Oprah is okay?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Isn't she got that way? Yeah?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, monacido ish. So we'll be doing more about that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and you'll be on the news, your news segments, you'll
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: be talking about.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: The rain most of the morning. I'm assuming, right, yes, okay, moving.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: On absolutely, so sorry, please don't sue. The BBC has
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: apologized to President Trump over a misleading edit of his
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: speech from January sixth, right before the Capitol riot. But
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the bb says said we didn't defame you. Because Trump
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: is threatening a one billion dollar lawsuit, the BBC chair
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: sent a personal letter to the White House. They say
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: there are no plans to re broadcast the documentary either,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and it did have parts spiced together from his speech
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: that were about an hour apart.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they absolutely whether it's defamation or not, they
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: absolutely screwed the pooch on this one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It really I watched the edits, I watched what Yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: really happened, and then how it was edited, and I
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: was like, holy cow.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and for the BBC, which used to have a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: reputation of being objective and fair, not so good news.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But in the end, is that enough an apology? We
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: won't do it again. Sorry, Nope, I want a billion dollars.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: They should just put like a clock that spins between
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: to let it no time has passed, or an ellipses
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: with like twelve dots.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think defamation is going to fly on this one,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: but we'll see.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It's a threat.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Donald Trump's threats are not idle threats.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well they may be idle threats, but the various news
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: outlets take them very seriously. Read ABC, CBS paramount.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Maybe he'll set it just for the crown. All right,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: So the Justice Department is suing to block California's US
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: house maps, and we kind of saw this come in.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Right, going to happen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: This is all because it could tip the control of Congress.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: That is freaking conservatives out. Of course, the kaploite filed
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: here in California in our federal court. It's kind of
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: targeting that congressional map. This was prop fifty that was
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: highly voted for here in California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Newsom and White House Hopeful, I believe, said it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: in response to a similar Republican led effort.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: It was a response to what Texas did.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Texas did it based on what the President wanted Texas
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to do. Look at the hypocrisy here. It is stunning.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: It is breath taking. The hypocrisy. Texas revamps, it's congressional map.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: That's okay with a Justice department.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Why because Republicans California, on the other hand, because it's democratic,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: therefore it is illegal. And their argument, their legal argument,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: makes no sense whatsoever. Because what the Republicans the Department
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of Justice are saying that the independent commission that was
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: established by law in California has now been undone by
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: law in California. And what the Department of Justice said,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you can pass legislation that sets up an independent commission,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: but you can't do a.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Proposition that goes the other way.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Propositions are illegal unless we agree with them. Stunning, just
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: absolutely stunning. Why don't you bitch about Texas because Texas,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Texas is a different place. It's totally different, right, Well,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it is a different place. So anyway, it's just it's everything's.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So blatant these days.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Well, they're a judicial order involved in Texas at all.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: No, it was a legislature that did it, and they're
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: allowed to do it legally in Texas and in California,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the legislature was not allowed to read this rage until Prop.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Fifty was passed, and now the legislature is allowed to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: And they're challenging the way they did it. They're saying
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: that they used racial that it was discriminatory because they
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: were focusing on Hispanic voters. That's what the lawsuit says.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It's it's doesn't make any sense because Texas did exactly
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the same thing, and it's it's it's a verdict that.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: In other words, they're saying that the politics they didn't
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: do it based on politics. Think about this for a moment.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: It's not really a democratic or Republican move. It really
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: isn't politics. It's all about racism or racial differentiation.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Do you buy that? Does anybody buy that?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: But that's what the lawsuit says.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Go no place and no hypocrisy is stunning, And why
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: didn't Texas do the same thing, because that's the way
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: it works, is that African Americans are genuinely democrats, Hispanics
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to a lesser degree.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And it's.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Doesn't make any sense. And by the way, Turney General
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Pam Bondi says, the redistricting scheme is a brazen power
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process. Really,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: propositions in California trample on the democratic process. Therefore we
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have propositions. It just I don't get it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: All right, Show Hey, Otani sure likes winning things. Not
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: only did he just score back to back World Series,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: he's now a back to back MVP. The two way
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Star for a second season in a row, won the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: National League's Most Valuable Player award. It was a unanimous decision.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Only Barry Bonds has more MVPs than Show Hey. He's
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: got four so far and he's only thirty one. Sing
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Not much more to say except I have a question.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, has an interpreter with him, He hangs out with interpreter.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: How good is his English? I heard a little bit
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: of his English during the parade during the celebration.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: So what I've heard because I haven't had a conversation
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: with him, but I've heard that he's pretty good, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: he uses the interpreter during interviews because he doesn't want
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: to screw it up.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, fair enough, all right, So the US has proposed
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: with everything going on in Gaza and the war and
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: the battle fatigue of everything, the building, structure, infrastructure, everything's
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: gone right. So the US comes and says, this is
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: what we'll do, the Board of Peace, and this will
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: be a group that oversees the rebuilding and all of
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: these things, temporarily governing the territory. Well, since this is
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: going through the UN Security Council, you have the Chinese
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: and the Russians who are Vito Wilding wielding member.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Of the UN. So it's not going to happen.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: So they said, they said no because the Chinese and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: the Russians know what's best.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, conversation's over.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: With any of the Big Five having complete veto power,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the UN is basically a non entity. It really isn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the only thing it's good about being a UN members
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about parking tickets in New
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: York because you have immunity.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: That's basically it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Big win for Bezos did you see this? Yes, spectacular.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: The Blue Origin launched its new Glen rocket from Cape
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Canaveral on board couple of NASA probes that are headed
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: towards Mars, although they don't get there until twenty twenty seven.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: But the launch was absolutely astounding yesterday. And not only
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: did they successfully launch this massive rocket, they also landed
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: it back on the platform. And the SpaceX does it
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: all the time. Bezos' company hadn't done it yet and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: it was just their second try, and they landed on
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: a platform six hundred kilometers out off the coast in
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: the ocean. It was spectacular, pressive, spectacular.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: And that's the one that looks like a big rank
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: that looks like what.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Like like a phallis.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: No, they all looked like They all look like that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: They all look like that, And it depends on which
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: companies some like some look like circumcised and some look
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: like uncircumcised, depending on which company.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Well, anyway, it was a big accomplishment for Bezos.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It was very cool science.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, More strikes killing drug boats. Apparently the
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Pentagon conducted its twentieth strike on one of these alleged
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: drug trafficking boats earlier this week, so says the Defense Department.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: The strike occurred in the Caribbean, once again for Narco
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: teararists were killed, no survivors. Of course, the Trump administration
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: officials have acknowledged that they don't necessarily know the exact
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: identities of the individuals, but apparently there is technology that
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: can from a distance know if there's the presence of
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: large amounts of drugs.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think anybody doubts that there are plenty
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of drugs aboard those boats. I mean there are cigarette
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: boats they call them. That they fly along at eighty
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: miles per hour and that's all they're good for, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: you can actually see the drugs. The issue is the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: people that are driving those boats that are considered narco
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: terrorists by our Defense Department or our War Department.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: It is now and I believe this that these are.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Just fishermen and they're citizens that live in these poor villages,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: these seaside villages that the Narco terrorists are saying, you're
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: going to go or they offer them five hundred or
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: one thousand dollars to do this, and these people are impoverished,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, they can't feed their families and that is
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the issue is that the ones that are being targeted,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I mean the ships are being targeted or the boats,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: which I'm fine with that. It used to be just interdictions,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: coast Guard, the services would go out there and just
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: stop them and then arrest them and confiscate the drugs
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and now you die. And the cost of going after them.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know it's aircraft carriers and these huge
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: drones that cost the fortune.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I would imagine that it's not just about the boats.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: It's about setting a precedent in a way that will
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: hopefully strike fear. That's what roism is.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Noh, I have no doubt. I have no doubt about that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: But who get gets caught in the middle. You can't
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: call people who are not narco traffic candes, narco traffic cantes.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Well, especially what about if they're doing that with you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: carrying drugs and just using people. They still get arrested
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: if you're a drug carrier.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And that's the point is it used to be people
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: people who did this were arrested when there the interdiction happened.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: They were not blown out of the water. That's I
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: think the controversy. Let's say Imbrie Cartel's Baby.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Sad Day for ABC of Award winning journalist Jim Avila.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: He was a senior correspondent for ABC News, a host
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty or a correspondent for twenty twenty. Worked
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: for ABC for seventeen years. He just died after a
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: long illness. Jim Avila was sixty nine. He apparently died
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Wednesday at his home in San Diego.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Not much to say about that. Gummy shame, Yeah, it
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: is a shame for sure.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: THC gummies, drinks and things like that are under looking
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: down the barrel of a ban. You've got a spending bill,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: and this tiny little provision kind of tucked in this
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: federal spending bill signed by President Trump could upend the
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: THHC industry. So they're they're allowed to put zero point
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: four milligrams of THHC per container in things like gummies
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: and beverage, even topical pain relief.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: That's absolutely nothing in the world of THC. I have
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: no clue.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not an expert at it, but it's for
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: those people that do take gummies regularly. I don't want
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to mention any names, Lindsay and they're.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Wait a second, are those the same as these, or
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: are there because I've heard some people say they couldn't
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: need a whole gummy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: They would It depends. It depends on how strong the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: gummy is. So these are like skittles. Oh I could.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'd be afraid of that's that's because
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: of her pain thing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Because in many cases, THC helps with a lot of
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: medical issues. Glaucoma, for example, has been forever. It helps
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: cancer patients, for example, regain their.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Regain their ability to eat. Oh, I thought about it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: It was illegal when my dad was dying and he contemplated,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: you know, no, it brings up but so that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: That may upend a lot of that. We'll see how
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: that turns out.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Overestimated, maybe just a little bit. So there's a judge
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: who is looking over all the money that's been spent
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: on homelessness in Los Angeles, and apparently there's a shelter.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: It's part of Project Home Key. It was reported that
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: there were eighty eight beds in that shelter, but then
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: an inspector went and checked and only found forty four.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: So half the rest are just empty platforms. The judge
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: David oh Harder, during a court hearing on Wednesday, says
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I send a little fraud, and he criticized the city
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: for what he says he perceives as a lack of
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: curiosity over a huge discrepancy like this.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about the suggestion is fraud all over the place. Now,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: when you think of homeless shelter, you think of buildings, right,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: you think of facilities. This homeless shelter are tents and
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: in those tents are these beds. But half of those
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: they don't Those beds don't exist. And this is a
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: contract that this homeless shelter I has with I think
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: it's the city of La.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Nobody's watching two point three.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Million dollar contract to provide eighty eight beds and as.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: So much money half or not there so much money,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: which is why diet a union rescue mission.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they actually hurt around for a very long
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: time and they don't pet people into are accountable, all right,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So you go ahead one more and then when in
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a bail and it's about the math, not mathing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: California high school graduation rate is up to eighty seven
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: point five percent. The Hyacinths twenty seventeen. Yay, we're celebrating.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: More people are graduating. However, you compare that with the
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: over fifty percent of graduates not meeting college or career
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: readiness standards, meaning the basics.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So what does that tell you? What does that tell
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: you straight out.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That we're giving people, we're graduating people that are not
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: equipped with.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: That is exactly correct, yeat.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: The requirements to graduate are dropping, dropping, dropping. When I
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: went to high school, they would fail you. You didn't
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: graduate unless you made quote the grade, unless you know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I almost didn't graduate. Now it's impossible not to graduate.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're willing to, if you're willing to sit
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: in college, if you're willing to exactly, if you're willing
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to stay in school, you're graduating. What's it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: You're done and you become a high school graduate.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: It's like a participation trophy.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, yes, well said.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Every wonder why we're seeing so many bears and lions
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: and run ins figers, well not tiger's luckily. Researchers in
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: California say it's because of climate change. They say an
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: increase in human wildlife conflict due to prolonged climate exacerbated
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: drought conditions. They say that when the weather's really dry,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: then there are more interactions between especially mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: and people.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Human wildlife interactions is basically a euphemism for people getting
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: eaten by these animals.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: That's the bottom line.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Well, like there was the parking Orange County last week
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: where there was a couple of mountain lions sightings and
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: they were saying that one mountain lion was stalking a
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: couple of bicyclists.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Mountain lions are not fine.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I mean when you have bobcats, right, those yeah, those
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: are fun there. I've seen a couple of them and
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: they are the size of a medium sized dog and they're,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of cute and fine.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Mountain lions. No, No, your breakfast for a mountain lion.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Here's a crap out of me.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: All righty, Fanny May officials, This is a little weird,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: but it's they're kind of doing an investigation here.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: You've got Bill Pollute. Is that pronounce his name? I
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: think it's Pulta Pulte.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: He's the Trump administration's top housing regulator. But they're they're
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: looking at this kind of confidential mortgage pricing data going
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: back and forth between Fanny May to a principal competitor.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: And the only reason this would be going back in,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: the reason why it's setting off alarms is.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That this could cause colluding and.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Collusion because you've got you've got Freddie Mack, you've got
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Fanny Made. These are separate organizations. And the art and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the accusation here is he took information from one and
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: gave it to the other.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: And that would be which is unknown? Right, I saw
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: a price fixed. It's just for racious information.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, here's the analogy secret bids, right, you
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: tell what you're bidding, is uh, and the person taking
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: the bids actually sneaks the bidding information to a competitor.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I think that's the analogy here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And Camelot lives. Jack Schlossberg, he's going to have to
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: change his name is the grandson of former President John F.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Kennedy has announced that he is running for Congress in
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six. He's actually going after Representative Jerry Nadler seat,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: which is New York's twelfth congressional district, because Nadler announced
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: earlier this year that he is not running for reelection.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: And Nadler is a real power in the House.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's part of leadership, or at least in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the upper upper echelons of the powerful Congress people. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: we'll see how he does, my guests, he's probably gonna win.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: And then finally, Oh, what a story this one is.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Oh so Lady Gaga revealed she experienced a psychotic breakdown.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Strangely enough, and she's thirty nine year old years old,
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: but strangely enough, it came like during a massive high
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: point when she was doing A Star Is Born and
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: her song was in the category for Oscar, which she won,
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: but she was on lithium and apparently she has called
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: off a couple of concerts and things like that, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: she was in a really scary place. This comes from
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: a Rolling Stone interview. She's since come out of that
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: and feels that she is a healthy, whole person. But
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: can you imagine the pressure of being having that kind
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: of talent and everybody staring at you and all those things,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: And we kind of think, well.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: They're used to being stared at, I mean, rock stars,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you know, they sort of revel in this for the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: most part. But that's that's kind of interesting that she
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: admitted that, I mean, good for her. Also, anytime we
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: mentioned A Star is Born, I, of course I have
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to interject with that A Star is Born is also
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: the most popular film in Sweden, always has been, and
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: there it's called A Star is Bjorn. I have to
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: do that every single time. I cannot control myself.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: How come I don't know that one? After thirty years.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I've heard every job, all three of your jokes, your word,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: over and over.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: God, that one I don't know that I've heard. Wow, Okay,
