- 2:33Speaker 2: start making fun of you somehow this morning. Ann you're
- 2:36Speaker 2: there here, I am.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:37Speaker 2: We started, and then Kona was back today, Coono was yesterday.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I understand your child was starting kindergarten yesterday.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Yeah, started kindergarten. That's correct.
- 2:47Speaker 3: And is that the boy or the girl?
- 2:49Speaker 5: The girl?
- 2:50Speaker 3: The girl?
- 2:51Speaker 2: And was she apprehensive a little scared walking into kindergarten class.
- 2:57Speaker 3: No, no, okay, she's cool.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Okay, good, yeah, excellent thing with the grain of salt.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough.
- 3:04Speaker 2: A quick story I want to share with you that
- 3:06Speaker 2: we're not going to be talking about much in the news,
- 3:10Speaker 2: and because it's the New York story, but it leads
- 3:13Speaker 2: right into a funny, reasonably funny story of what happened
- 3:17Speaker 2: on this show. And that is Zohoran Mondami, who is
- 3:21Speaker 2: the mayor of New York, who is a Muslim and
- 3:23Speaker 2: not particularly well liked among the Jewish crowd, and he
- 3:27Speaker 2: is not particularly in favor of Israel, and he's very
- 3:30Speaker 2: pro Palestinian. Anyway, a group of rabbis went to see him.
- 3:33Speaker 2: That's not a joke, by the way, a group of
- 3:35Speaker 2: rabbi is walking into the mayor's office. Anyway, A group
- 3:37Speaker 2: of rabbis go to see him at his invitation and
- 3:41Speaker 2: to sit and talk about the relations between the Jewish
- 3:45Speaker 2: community and what's happening with the mayor's office, etc. He
- 3:48Speaker 2: wants to I guess, plaster over differences. Okay, So they're
- 3:53Speaker 2: telling him, you know, we know you have a right
- 3:55Speaker 2: to say what you're saying, but please downplay the tie
- 4:01Speaker 2: Jewish anti Israel sentiment, and so they talked about it
- 4:07Speaker 2: reminds me of a story that I did, and Neil
- 4:11Speaker 2: will no doubt remember this.
- 4:13Speaker 3: I would whenever there was a fire.
- 4:15Speaker 2: In New York among the schmat the business that is
- 4:21Speaker 2: the clothing business. It is schmat rake rags. But that's
- 4:25Speaker 2: what the clothing business is known as. And what ended
- 4:28Speaker 2: up happening is there's sort of a history of all
- 4:32Speaker 2: of a sudden, if a business is going way south,
- 4:34Speaker 2: and that business goes up and down, you make a
- 4:36Speaker 2: lot of money on clothes, or you lose a lot
- 4:39Speaker 2: of money guessing what the next year's fashions are going
- 4:42Speaker 2: to be, because that's just a wild ass guests, all right.
- 4:44Speaker 2: So the companies that lose business or are losing their
- 4:47Speaker 2: shirts somehow they catch on fire those warehouses, and that
- 4:52Speaker 2: is known as Jewish lightning, and that is it's just
- 4:57Speaker 2: sort of a phrase that's used.
- 4:58Speaker 4: That's offensive.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Of course it is, And so I kept referring to
- 5:03Speaker 2: it as Jewish lightning. So there were a group of
- 5:06Speaker 2: Jewish leaders part of the Anti Defamation Leagues organization that
- 5:10Speaker 2: fights anti Semitism, and they came to see me and
- 5:15Speaker 2: we had a meeting with the management, et cetera. And
- 5:18Speaker 2: they were pretty offended and said, you know, Bill, you're
- 5:21Speaker 2: saying this. Yes I am, and you know that's not true.
- 5:25Speaker 2: We insist that you stop saying that. And I said
- 5:29Speaker 2: to them, I'll tell you what, Why don't we pull
- 5:32Speaker 2: some claims records, insurance claims on buildings in that district,
- 5:39Speaker 2: the clothing district that burned up, and at least let's
- 5:43Speaker 2: see how many names were Cohen, Finkelberg, Steinberg. And at
- 5:49Speaker 2: that point they said, will you at least downplay it?
- 5:51Speaker 3: Please? Was you not talk so much about that?
- 5:55Speaker 4: I was in the meeting. They were lovely people and
- 5:59Speaker 4: incredible reasonable.
- 6:01Speaker 2: They wanted me to tell with they wanted to they
- 6:05Speaker 2: did they not want me to downplay the Jewish lightning concept?
- 6:09Speaker 4: They yes, They asked you to be more respectful because
- 6:13Speaker 4: it's a stereotype that is not across the board and
- 6:17Speaker 4: it probably doesn't even exist to this date. It was
- 6:21Speaker 4: probably something that took place more.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Yeah, because the arts and investigators are much better these days. Okay,
- 6:26Speaker 2: that's true.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I just remember them being very kind and one of
- 6:29Speaker 4: the best groups to deal with.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Yeah, And I smiled and uh, well, okay. Anyway, See,
- 6:37Speaker 2: we look at life very differently, Neil and I. Neil
- 6:39Speaker 2: thinks everybody is great.
- 6:42Speaker 4: Wonder if they had a sense of humor, and trust me,
- 6:44Speaker 4: some people don't and some people have gone after me
- 6:47Speaker 4: to try when I'm trying to be fair about something.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Horrible horrible groups out there.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Yeah, very entertaining too. Okay, we're going to start some news.
- 6:57Speaker 2: What do you think guys? It is time for handle
- 7:00Speaker 2: on the news on this Friday morning, August fourteenth. It's
- 7:05Speaker 2: Amy and Neil and me lead storry China. Well, no surprise.
- 7:11Speaker 2: White House has accused China of literally rerouting billions of
- 7:16Speaker 2: dollars of goods through other countries to avoid the president's
- 7:20Speaker 2: twenty eighteen tariffs.
- 7:21Speaker 3: And by the way, I believe every word of this.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I think the White House is right on not surprising
- 7:29Speaker 2: because what China is doing is avoiding billions of dollars
- 7:34Speaker 2: in tariffs, and that means lost revenue to the United States.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Someone would have to help them, right, Yeah, forty other
- 7:42Speaker 2: countries that'll do it. Yeah, but it's international trying to
- 7:47Speaker 2: undo Trump's tariffs. But this is a it's just a
- 7:52Speaker 2: it's not even a conspiracy because there's so many people
- 7:55Speaker 2: doing this, it's just simply a way of life.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I don't even think they're talking to each other.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess to some extent, repackaging, relabeling
- 8:02Speaker 2: the goods, performing limited assembly. And I shared the story
- 8:06Speaker 2: about Israel and Saudi Arabia. Obviously their enemies have been
- 8:11Speaker 2: for a long time. Saudi Arabia Arab country, Israel, not Arab,
- 8:15Speaker 2: and Saudi Arabia received that F sixteen's from Israel, I
- 8:22Speaker 2: mean from the United States.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Israel fought it like crazy.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Well, Saudi Arabia wanted to buy some long range tanks,
- 8:30Speaker 2: gasoline tanks for their F sixteens.
- 8:34Speaker 3: The United States didn't make them.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Israel manufactured those and the only way Saudi Arabia could
- 8:41Speaker 2: get them is buy them from Israel.
- 8:44Speaker 3: So what did Israel do? Set up the front company
- 8:47Speaker 3: in Cyprus.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And funnel those tanks through Cyprus, so they're on the
- 8:52Speaker 2: boxes that were shipped the crates manufactured in Cyprus and
- 8:57Speaker 2: then went on to side Saudi Arabia.
- 8:59Speaker 3: And that's just one example that I know of.
- 9:01Speaker 2: So that happens all over the world, and particularly now,
- 9:05Speaker 2: and this ramping up because of the because of.
- 9:08Speaker 5: The tariffs, replacement therapy USS George Washington is making its
- 9:16Speaker 5: way toward the Middle East. This after reports started popping
- 9:22Speaker 5: up that there was mental health and supply issues aboard
- 9:25Speaker 5: the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed for more
- 9:29Speaker 5: than two hundred and sixty days. That's the longest aircraft
- 9:34Speaker 5: carrier deployment ever. Several Democratic lawmakers are pressing for accountability
- 9:39Speaker 5: from the Pentagon over conditions on board the carrier. Defense
- 9:43Speaker 5: Secretary Pete Hegseth says those conditions were completely misrepresented.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Right, and it seems I haven't heard this very much.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I mean the suicide attempts on the Abraham Lincoln I
- 9:56Speaker 2: have increased traumatically and strangely enough, a lot of these
- 10:00Speaker 2: attempts to are these sailors trying to shoot themselves in
- 10:02Speaker 2: the head? Okay, what what come on?
- 10:10Speaker 3: And joke?
- 10:12Speaker 4: Oh ah?
- 10:14Speaker 2: Seekno, because Cono is as depraved as I am.
- 10:19Speaker 3: He and I were separated at birth. He knows exactly
- 10:23Speaker 3: where we're going, all right, all right?
- 10:25Speaker 4: The people Mover dubbed Skylink, along awaited automated people mover
- 10:29Speaker 4: or train at LAX is expected to transform traffic ahead
- 10:35Speaker 4: of twenty twenty eight. I mean, we're really scrambling for
- 10:39Speaker 4: the Olympics. We don't do it for the people of
- 10:41Speaker 4: la But if we're going to have guests, oh boy,
- 10:45Speaker 4: everybody's ready. So visitors to the airport have been able
- 10:48Speaker 4: to watch the trains in action. They're kind of going
- 10:51Speaker 4: back and forth and testing him and all that. No
- 10:52Speaker 4: one's been on him yet, no one's been riding them.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Must yeah, tests.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Because they're trying to find a volunteer that's willing to
- 10:59Speaker 2: be crushed between the cars, like what happened in Disneyland
- 11:02Speaker 2: and they shut down the people Mover.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Damn it, no one's out there willing for us to
- 11:06Speaker 3: try this thing.
- 11:07Speaker 4: That's not exactly what happened at Disneyland. But that's all right,
- 11:11Speaker 4: pretty cool.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Now there was that kid who felt they jumped out
- 11:14Speaker 2: and they shut shut it down.
- 11:15Speaker 3: That was done. People Mover was finished.
- 11:17Speaker 4: You know, if you're driving on the freeway and you
- 11:19Speaker 4: jump out of a car, same thing will happen.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, but they can't get rid of cars.
- 11:25Speaker 2: They certainly can't. Anyway, the people Mover and a lot
- 11:28Speaker 2: of a lot of air runs.
- 11:30Speaker 3: All this.
- 11:31Speaker 4: They say, it's like ninety eight percent done Fitch ratings
- 11:37Speaker 4: and they look over the financial you know, they rate
- 11:40Speaker 4: them financially with the bonds and whatever. They have the
- 11:44Speaker 4: credit ratings for the project, which was a one point
- 11:46Speaker 4: two billion dollar senior bond, and they moved it to
- 11:50Speaker 4: their their negative watch list, which means they're looking at
- 11:54Speaker 4: the timeline and saying, you're not hitting certain markers and
- 11:59Speaker 4: we don't believe that you're going to hit that margin,
- 12:02Speaker 4: that little limited margin, and you're in a precarious position,
- 12:08Speaker 4: so that could breach the lenders long stop. That long
- 12:12Speaker 4: stop is the dead end points they're supposed to hit.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Right and if they don't.
- 12:16Speaker 2: If they don't, the bonds probably are called. You are
- 12:20Speaker 2: as an investor, this was not a good investment in
- 12:22Speaker 2: buying these bonds for the people Mover. What I didn't
- 12:25Speaker 2: know is that there's this is not airport bonds, general blonds.
- 12:30Speaker 2: This is for specifically the people Mover, which.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Yeah, so then you would have to bring in another
- 12:35Speaker 4: contractor and that or.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Be a mess. It'd be a mess.
- 12:40Speaker 5: DOJ has some splaning to do. A federal judge is
- 12:45Speaker 5: pressing lawyers from the Department of Justice to explain why
- 12:49Speaker 5: some of the materials from the Epstein Files were withheld
- 12:52Speaker 5: from the public. It has to do with a lawsuit
- 12:55Speaker 5: filed by an independent journalist who sued over what she
- 12:59Speaker 5: claimed were improper redactions and withheld materials from the files
- 13:04Speaker 5: on Jeffrey Epstein. Now in June, the judge concluded the
- 13:08Speaker 5: redactions and withheld materials violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act
- 13:13Speaker 5: and ordered the DOJ to either turn over all the
- 13:15Speaker 5: materials or explain why the materials needed to be withheld.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Apparently they haven't done either one yet.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Well, I think dog has argued that the notes are
- 13:23Speaker 2: quote substantially similar to the FBI reports that are already
- 13:28Speaker 2: out there, and the judge said, where does it say
- 13:31Speaker 2: and the act substantially similar?
- 13:34Speaker 3: It doesn't.
- 13:36Speaker 2: And so at some point this is going to come
- 13:38Speaker 2: home to bite him in the as big time, because
- 13:40Speaker 2: right now the Department of Justice has been pretty adamant
- 13:44Speaker 2: about not releasing a lot of these files because I
- 13:48Speaker 2: think heads are going to roll and I think information
- 13:51Speaker 2: is going to be released that's very, very embarrassing to
- 13:54Speaker 2: some very highly placed individuals, both on the Democratic and
- 13:58Speaker 2: on the Republican side, as well as public figures. I
- 14:03Speaker 2: mean f Stein, Well, he painted a large swath. A
- 14:08Speaker 2: lot of people that were involved with that.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Which people do those kinds of things. They flocked together
- 14:13Speaker 4: and all that. But I think bare minimum, we the
- 14:16Speaker 4: people have the right to hear if the President of
- 14:19Speaker 4: the United States what portions he's in most important.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to see if that happens.
- 14:29Speaker 4: All right, So amid fire dangers, Malibu is doing something interesting.
- 14:33Speaker 4: So a peak fire season, which is almost comical out here,
- 14:37Speaker 4: it's always fire season, Malibu has declared this local emergency
- 14:42Speaker 4: and this gives them a particular chit to call in.
- 14:46Speaker 4: So you've got Normally, when you under California law, you
- 14:50Speaker 4: say you want to move homeless in camp mins, it
- 14:54Speaker 4: takes forty eight to seventy two hours of advance written
- 14:58Speaker 4: notice before you can clear those in that meant but
- 15:01Speaker 4: they're calling this local emergency because of what are affectionately
- 15:06Speaker 4: referred to as hobo fires, the drug rush conditions there.
- 15:11Speaker 4: City council has approved the declaration this week to reduce
- 15:14Speaker 4: the risk of fires associated with homeless individuals cooking outdoors
- 15:19Speaker 4: and keeping warm and all that stuff. So they're able
- 15:22Speaker 4: to get this done day up. They can't deal it
- 15:25Speaker 4: within twenty four hours. Yeah, here's a question.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Emergency order allowing notice the same day, does that mean
- 15:33Speaker 2: ten minutes after the order the notice is given? Is
- 15:37Speaker 2: there a time line here?
- 15:39Speaker 4: I think they walk in, they say you got to go.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Right, That's what I think, and they start cleaning it
- 15:43Speaker 2: up and sorry, we're going to know.
- 15:45Speaker 3: I agree.
- 15:46Speaker 2: The fire danger is so great. All of Malibu is
- 15:49Speaker 2: a Class one fire danger area.
- 15:51Speaker 3: I mean, there's one part of Malibu that isn't. I
- 15:54Speaker 3: don't want.
- 15:55Speaker 4: I don't know why. It's if I started a fire
- 15:57Speaker 4: out on the sidewalk, I'd be arrested, and you should be.
- 16:01Speaker 4: And you're right, I don't know why. You know, everyone
- 16:03Speaker 4: always says, you know, home being poor is not a crime.
- 16:06Speaker 4: It's not about that. It's about defecating and urinating on
- 16:09Speaker 4: this three.
- 16:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:10Speaker 2: But those are individual ants. Yeah, those are individual acts.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Those aren't encampments. These are individual and they burning things
- 16:17Speaker 2: all of that. Maybe, and people should they should be arrested.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Of course, they should.
- 16:24Speaker 5: Not gonna get there. The city impost deadline for Lineage
- 16:27Speaker 5: Logistics to clean up millions of pounds of rotting, smelly,
- 16:31Speaker 5: bug and rodent infested food from the burned out warehouse
- 16:35Speaker 5: and boil Heights is today at five pm. Lineage is saying, yeah,
- 16:39Speaker 5: we're not going to hit that deadline, but they say
- 16:42Speaker 5: that they have the real deadline is a week from
- 16:45Speaker 5: today and they'll get it done by then. They said
- 16:47Speaker 5: that based on the timeline of when they could actually
- 16:50Speaker 5: get in and start cleaning up, the forty five days
- 16:53Speaker 5: should be next Friday. But local officials are saying, nope,
- 16:57Speaker 5: we're going after Lineage. They need to be held responsible
- 17:00Speaker 5: for not finishing the cleanup.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Now we're being told that if they don't make it
- 17:05Speaker 2: by today, which they're not going to, obviously, there'll be
- 17:08Speaker 2: consequences for the company.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I don't even know what that means.
- 17:11Speaker 2: So with that Dutch, especially if they make it by
- 17:13Speaker 2: next week, they make it by next week, I don't
- 17:17Speaker 2: see the huge, huge downside on that. Does anybody know,
- 17:22Speaker 2: by the way, what the consequences are amy are you
- 17:24Speaker 2: aware of?
- 17:26Speaker 5: They've talked about fines and withholding permits, that kind of thing,
- 17:30Speaker 5: But they're just saying that they should be held responsible.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Okay, all right. Flock we've all heard about Flock Safety.
- 17:40Speaker 4: They're that's surveillance technology company, and more and more we're
- 17:44Speaker 4: learning their name. They're under scrutiny from both parties. By
- 17:48Speaker 4: the way, civil liberties associations citizens across the US apparently
- 17:53Speaker 4: getting all upset. They announced Thursday that they're making some
- 17:57Speaker 4: changes to their platform. They're the ones that have those
- 17:59Speaker 4: security care cameras that can read the license plate. And
- 18:03Speaker 4: this is supposed to you know, quell all the qualms
- 18:06Speaker 4: about privacy concerns and you know, abuses, address these abuses
- 18:12Speaker 4: in the system by some members of law enforcement. But
- 18:16Speaker 4: this is a massive network of automated cameras across the country,
- 18:23Speaker 4: you know, vehicles passing to it from every day, and
- 18:26Speaker 4: law enforcement agencies in forty nine states can search these
- 18:30Speaker 4: shared flock data cameras. Police have credited this technology and
- 18:35Speaker 4: praised it as an important crime fighting tool of innovation
- 18:39Speaker 4: to locate missing people, track suspects of polent crimes. You
- 18:44Speaker 4: know what's weird on this though, build is why is
- 18:47Speaker 4: it that in public, a somebody with you know, an
- 18:52Speaker 4: influencer or with a website or anything like that can
- 18:56Speaker 4: film me eating or video me eating, can be in
- 18:59Speaker 4: my grill and say this is my constitutional right.
- 19:02Speaker 3: No, not in not at your grill, in your backyard.
- 19:04Speaker 4: They can't no, no, no in my grill life face.
- 19:06Speaker 4: I'm sorry I used oh oh.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Because because you have no expectation of privacy out in
- 19:10Speaker 2: publica however, you do have an expectation of not being harassed.
- 19:15Speaker 3: And I think that's where your argument is as well.
- 19:17Speaker 4: But they still they there's one guy that does it
- 19:20Speaker 4: just to show he's got.
- 19:21Speaker 2: His No, I understand, but in public, in public, you're
- 19:24Speaker 2: allowed to do that. What do you think paparazzi do?
- 19:27Speaker 4: What is?
- 19:27Speaker 3: Yes?
- 19:28Speaker 4: So what why is this to fight crime? A problem?
- 19:32Speaker 2: Because it is a it's because it's collecting data. It's
- 19:36Speaker 2: an authority that does this. It's the police, not some
- 19:39Speaker 2: crazy influencer. And therein I think you caught onto the
- 19:42Speaker 2: problem and it's a big one. And that is the
- 19:45Speaker 2: more the police and agencies are able to find out
- 19:49Speaker 2: where you are, who you are, which is what technology
- 19:52Speaker 2: is going, the more, uh, the bigger the risk is
- 19:57Speaker 2: and the more invasion of your That's where it is.
- 20:01Speaker 4: They own that license plate. I don't I own the car.
- 20:04Speaker 4: They own that license plate.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Yeah, but you own your own you own your own
- 20:07Speaker 2: fate or face. So when they take a picture of
- 20:10Speaker 2: your car and they a picture of your face, driving
- 20:12Speaker 2: the car.
- 20:14Speaker 3: They don't own that.
- 20:15Speaker 4: If they had people standing on the street. Yes, the
- 20:18Speaker 4: automatic camera.
- 20:19Speaker 3: You can't use.
- 20:21Speaker 2: And you're right, they're in lies the problem. For example,
- 20:24Speaker 2: Really we don't like drones flying overhead and videoing.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Hey, why don't you pitch about the helicopters.
- 20:29Speaker 2: They've been doing that for forty years, you know, flying overhead,
- 20:33Speaker 2: you know the police helicopters no.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Place to escape, the US Department of Justice exposing what
- 20:40Speaker 5: it says is an horrific environment of staff misconduct and
- 20:45Speaker 5: sexual abuse inside women's prisons in California. The DOJ announced
- 20:51Speaker 5: results of a year's long investigation into two of the
- 20:54Speaker 5: women's prisons and say that they failed to protect the
- 20:57Speaker 5: women incarcerated from sexual use from prison staff. The investigation
- 21:03Speaker 5: followed a lawsuit brought forward by more than one hundred
- 21:06Speaker 5: and thirty formerly incarcerated women who said they were sexually
- 21:10Speaker 5: abused while they serve time at the prisons in Chino
- 21:13Speaker 5: and chow Chilla. One of the survivors said, it's not
- 21:16Speaker 5: just sexual abuse. A lot of it is verbal abuse.
- 21:19Speaker 5: The way they put us down, the way they make
- 21:21Speaker 5: sexual gestures they mock us, and the sexual statements they.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Make any you've been reporting on the news for a
- 21:29Speaker 2: long time, a very long time, and you've been described
- 21:33Speaker 2: to me as you know, she's no fried chicken. That
- 21:37Speaker 2: would be what my mother would say.
- 21:40Speaker 4: His mother had malaprops too, and means you're no spring chicken.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, a little guess. Thank you, Neil, Yeah,
- 21:49Speaker 2: Neil speaks handle. In any case, you've been reporting on this,
- 21:53Speaker 2: how long has this story about women being abused in
- 21:57Speaker 2: prisons been around.
- 21:58Speaker 5: It's been around for years and years.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Years and years, and you think something would be done,
- 22:04Speaker 2: and it would have been at this point taken care of,
- 22:07Speaker 2: were brought to a real minimal level, and it doesn't
- 22:10Speaker 2: seem to have. Yeah, not a good place to go
- 22:13Speaker 2: if you're a woman, and that's prison Male guards, I
- 22:17Speaker 2: guess even female guards abuse these women, not necessarily sexually,
- 22:20Speaker 2: but just in general. Well, guards have unbelievable power, and
- 22:25Speaker 2: it takes to find a guard who does not not
- 22:30Speaker 2: manipulate the system, but not deal with this this power
- 22:34Speaker 2: trip that they're on. It takes a person who you
- 22:39Speaker 2: would normally not hire, and who those kind of people
- 22:42Speaker 2: don't go into the prison guard world.
- 22:45Speaker 5: They're also dealing with really bad people.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the true too. And where's the line that
- 22:50Speaker 2: is correct? Where is the line because you're dealing with
- 22:52Speaker 2: it's a very good point. That's a difficult line to navigate,
- 22:57Speaker 2: it really is. And going right down the middle, being fair,
- 23:01Speaker 2: still being strict, still not being abusive, standing up for
- 23:07Speaker 2: prisoners when it's appropriate, as against authority. I mean, I
- 23:11Speaker 2: wouldn't want that job.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Just to defend Amy for a second. There is someone
- 23:18Speaker 4: who just send a talkback Ignacio. What's up? Not Joe?
- 23:23Speaker 4: He says, Hey, Bill, not so much a question, But
- 23:25Speaker 4: I have an idea for the holiday the fundraiser with
- 23:28Speaker 4: the White House and all the kids, Why don't you
- 23:31Speaker 4: win a date with Amy Raffle. Imagine all the guys
- 23:34Speaker 4: and maybe some women would love to have a date
- 23:37Speaker 4: with this beautiful Amy. I know I would. I'm in thanks, Bill.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, well let's do that Amy, can
- 23:45Speaker 2: we raf?
- 23:47Speaker 3: I'm sorry?
- 23:48Speaker 5: Probably?
- 23:49Speaker 2: You know what.
- 23:51Speaker 3: That's a bit that is actually a great idea. Amy.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Would you be up for.
- 23:55Speaker 5: It if I had a chaperone?
- 24:00Speaker 3: Yeah? You know that?
- 24:02Speaker 2: Or not?
- 24:03Speaker 4: Unless you find some cute then she's like, why did
- 24:05Speaker 4: you go find something else to do?
- 24:06Speaker 2: Chepone The last pastathon dinner or the auction, and they
- 24:13Speaker 2: auctioned off dinner with me. I was so frightened. No
- 24:18Speaker 2: one was going to bid I bid on myself. So
- 24:22Speaker 2: at least it wouldn't be at least it wouldn't be embarrassing. Okay,
- 24:27Speaker 2: let's go ahead and finish up this segment and then
- 24:30Speaker 2: we'll go on to the next.
- 24:31Speaker 4: Okay, So Trump is giving the green light for certain companies,
- 24:35Speaker 4: although we don't know which companies, who, or what or
- 24:37Speaker 4: where to aim hacks at cyber criminals. So to go
- 24:42Speaker 4: after people, they would work alongside with the Justice Department
- 24:47Speaker 4: Homeland Security departments to strike foreign cyber criminal groups with
- 24:53Speaker 4: hacks under certain conditions. Some of these would be those
- 24:58Speaker 4: you know scourges like ransom where and that type of thing.
- 25:02Speaker 4: But they would build this green light to allow us
- 25:08Speaker 4: to attack back.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's just back to be proactive, and
- 25:12Speaker 2: up to this point, all companies can do is be reactive.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Now these companies can become hackers in and of themselves.
- 25:19Speaker 3: That makes guy, it makes sense to me.
- 25:21Speaker 4: It's kind of curious.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Yeah, if that curious, it makes a lot of sense
- 25:24Speaker 3: to me.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Okay, what's in a name? Well to Trump, it's pretty
- 25:27Speaker 4: much everything. So now, the Kennedy Center's board of trustees
- 25:32Speaker 4: voted just yesterday to inscribe President Donald Trump's name on
- 25:36Speaker 4: the building exterior and again to close the performing arts
- 25:41Speaker 4: venue for two years of renovations. So this may this
- 25:45Speaker 4: is really challenging two key elements of the federal court order.
- 25:49Speaker 2: So I don't know, he is so obsessed with this,
- 25:55Speaker 2: what is going on? I mean, I understand that he
- 25:59Speaker 2: is trying to change put his name on everything in Washington.
- 26:03Speaker 2: I get that, But what's with the Kennedy Center and.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Still would like to for what?
- 26:08Speaker 3: I guess?
- 26:09Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's just I don't I don't understand this,
- 26:13Speaker 2: this obsession.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Let me ask the new president.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah, new president comes in, what's the first thing that
- 26:21Speaker 2: a new president would do? I would remove Trump's name
- 26:25Speaker 2: because here it is, it's the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Fair enough, and then under that it's going to read
- 26:30Speaker 2: restored and renovated by President Donald J.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Trump.
- 26:34Speaker 2: And if it turns out there's one hundred million dollars
- 26:36Speaker 2: the endowment fund reaches, it will also add endowed by
- 26:40Speaker 2: the Trump Kennedy Center Fund.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I mean, and this one probably gonna go through.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, this was an independent board that
- 26:50Speaker 2: made that decision, headed by the president and made the
- 26:55Speaker 2: members are made up of.
- 26:56Speaker 3: People that he chose. What a shocker.
- 26:58Speaker 2: They voted this in a just crazy stuff. Okay, more
- 27:04Speaker 2: important news.
- 27:07Speaker 5: Still you, Neil, look at that.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm super important today. You are Luigi Maggioni. His
- 27:17Speaker 4: hearing is fueling some speculation and it comes down to this.
- 27:20Speaker 4: They're hurrying the schedule for the hearing of Mangioni to
- 27:24Speaker 4: today I think sometime this morning in the killing of
- 27:27Speaker 4: the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But the belief is
- 27:32Speaker 4: the you know, rushing this through this makes people speculate
- 27:37Speaker 4: that he might plead guilty in these proceedings. So you're
- 27:41Speaker 4: looking at Mangione faces two stocking counts in his federal case,
- 27:46Speaker 4: as well as murder and weapons charges separate two separate cases.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Here are charges in the New York state case.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Right, And the problem is that what he his attorneys
- 27:56Speaker 2: are arguing, if he pleads guilty to the federal case,
- 28:00Speaker 2: which gives him light up to life imprisonment, which he
- 28:02Speaker 2: would get with parole, and then he goes to trial
- 28:07Speaker 2: in the state, then he would get he could get
- 28:12Speaker 2: life without parole, and the argument is gonna be double jeopardy.
- 28:15Speaker 3: You can't charge and that's the rule.
- 28:16Speaker 2: You can't be charged twice for the same crime, except
- 28:19Speaker 2: they're different jurisdictions. Plenty of times people are charged for
- 28:24Speaker 2: the same crime in both federal and state and they're
- 28:28Speaker 2: different crimes. And the defense is arguing this comes out
- 28:31Speaker 2: of the same act. Yeah it does. That's going to
- 28:33Speaker 2: be the argument. The argument is going to be double jeopardy,
- 28:35Speaker 2: and the state charges should be dropped. That's what the
- 28:39Speaker 2: rush is here. Oh, here's one that's fun if you
- 28:43Speaker 2: the vombing machine.
- 28:44Speaker 5: The X two is xed out at least for now.
- 28:48Speaker 5: So X two is among the most intense roller coasters
- 28:53Speaker 5: in the world, and you can find it at six
- 28:55Speaker 5: Flags Magic Mountain, but you can't get on it right
- 28:57Speaker 5: now because it's closed and has been for the last
- 29:00Speaker 5: month because of something that happened involving a writer, but
- 29:04Speaker 5: we don't know what. July fifth, at nine point fifteen pm,
- 29:08Speaker 5: LA Fire responded to six Flags on a report of
- 29:13Speaker 5: an unconscious person. But when KTLA, who's been digging around
- 29:18Speaker 5: to try to figure out what is going on and
- 29:19Speaker 5: why the coaster is closed? Is calling and saying, hey,
- 29:22Speaker 5: what happened? What happened? All they're saying is the coasters
- 29:25Speaker 5: closed and it's been that way for a month.
- 29:29Speaker 2: We do know that the first responder has had a
- 29:32Speaker 2: tough time even trying to figure out what happened to
- 29:35Speaker 2: him because he was covered in vomit from top to vomit,
- 29:39Speaker 2: toping yes, tasso' wattam?
- 29:42Speaker 4: How in this age does that information not leak out somewhere?
- 29:46Speaker 4: How do we not know what happened to this person
- 29:48Speaker 4: on the roller coaster?
- 29:50Speaker 5: Don't know? Yeah, and nobody seems to know, and they're
- 29:54Speaker 5: not flags.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Isn't talking? All right?
- 29:58Speaker 4: A family that prays to there stays together. Unfortunately, this
- 30:01Speaker 4: is p R e Y nice very uh So, this
- 30:07Speaker 4: is gross story. They're calling these three suspects tomb raiders.
- 30:12Speaker 4: They're accusing these three people. You've got the identified suspects.
- 30:18Speaker 4: You've got a thirty three year old man. You've got
- 30:21Speaker 4: his girlfriend thirty two years old, and her mother fifty
- 30:25Speaker 4: two years old. All are wanting in Florida on warrants
- 30:30Speaker 4: for going to a bunch of East Coast cemeteries and
- 30:37Speaker 4: stealing jewelry and things that were left.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Or left in those in those crevices where the urns
- 30:45Speaker 2: are the mausoleum, and they stick things in there, and
- 30:48Speaker 2: people are nuts enough to put jewelry in there, you
- 30:52Speaker 2: know something that why is that nuts?
- 30:55Speaker 4: You'd assume people would be.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah, because as you know, I have a question. Yeah,
- 31:00Speaker 3: and you know, I'm not a very religious guy.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Really handle how how happy would a bunch of ashes
- 31:10Speaker 2: be with a nice piece of jewelry next to That's
- 31:13Speaker 2: the question.
- 31:14Speaker 4: I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing. Minute
- 31:17Speaker 4: I read started reading the story, I'm all, that's a
- 31:19Speaker 4: white people thing. There is no blacks or Latinos going
- 31:24Speaker 4: in and stealing jewelry from a mausoleum. Okay, I do
- 31:31Speaker 4: know that it is superstitious, religious, whatever you know what
- 31:34Speaker 4: to call it. That's not happening.
- 31:36Speaker 3: All right.
- 31:37Speaker 2: I'll be able to make some kind of racist shoke
- 31:39Speaker 2: out of that. All right, guys, we are completely done.
