  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to be certainly no one who is
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a local or part of actually the cluster here or
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: certainly attacked attached to KFI.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: All right, just an anti AI thing, Yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It probably is. Probably just it does do a good
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: job of describing us, that's for sure. All right, Neil,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: good morning to you on a Monday. Hi, Bill, Hey,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: there you go, kno he oh, Will Coleswreiber Hello, bill Oh,

• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that's even better, all right, and the lovely and good
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: morning and good morning though. All right, there we go
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and sounds so sweet. You should hear her after this show,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: which she says to me and how she does it
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: all right, Yes, we have a lot going on. As
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Amy said her, I think last break before we started
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the news segment of the show. And let's see what
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: handle has to say about that. And that is what
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the President said about Iran. Correct, yep, that you better
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: get going because if you don't, I'm going to give
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you another timeline which I'm going to ignore. And if
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you if I ignore that one, I'm going to give
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you yet another timeline that you're going to ignore or
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ignore. Well, at some point, do people
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: still believe that we're going to bomb Iran? Any moment
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that this timeline has to be met? Does anybody have
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: any any belief in it?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Was it Herbert Walker or w that had the line
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in the sand?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know who it is, but Obama certainly said
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that if Saddam who's saying I think uses gas gas warfare.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Dead by then right?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, I don't think so. No, I don't think
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: he was. It was Saddam Hussein was still alive, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama established a line in the sand that he
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: completely ignored it says if he didn't say it at all,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and he got uh got nail for that, and rightly,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So you cannot say there's the line and then ignore
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it over and over and over again.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I think it was the guy in Syria.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, your right well said it was all aside.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, I will tell you if you upset me
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form this morning, I am
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: drawing a line in the sand and I will quit
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yes you will. And here's the difference is I'm in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: favor of that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So you're actively promoting that is hoping for.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so we're going to talk more about
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that today because of course, and and the summit in China.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Great success, wonderful success. Okay, what success? Uh huh. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: finally Trump is we'll talk more about that too. Really,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: between I rock and a hard place on this one,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and as Amy cleverly put it, Iraq in a hard place,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: although it's mainly Iran and a hard place, and that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: is that he keeps on extending the deadline for either
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a sit down and I'll tell you the way it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: going to end in a minute, and starting a war.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Either way, it's a lose for him. He really painted
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: himself in a corner on this one. It's a lose
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: lose proposition wherever he goes. And then on the other side,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: all you're going, all you're hearing now from Republicans is
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the line if we can cannot let Iranians have a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, and what's going to end up happening, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: think is Iran is going to give up. It's a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: nuclear Richmond program for a period of time several years,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and we'll get it sanctioned, lifted, and we'll be able
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to sell oil internationally, and we'll be able to manufacture drones,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and we'll be able to support terrorist organizations all over
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the world. That is all going to happen as long
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: as the Strait of Hormuz opens up, and maybe Iran
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: will be able to make the strait a toll booth,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: which it now does for certain ships that it allows
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to go through. So you're going to see and of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: course that will be towed. It as a great success
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: for the United States opening the straits, even though all
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the rest of it is going to happen. Remember regime change. Oh,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: then it became regime change after the senior officials were
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: all killed off. Even though the regime is exactly the same,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the IRCG, the Revolutionary guards still control everything. It's it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: regime change, all right. So much for that. God, it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: drives me nuts. As you can see how things have changed,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: absolutely for the worst. Okay, guys, are you ready to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: do it? It is time? Uh? Well that was just a.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Little if that was your moose Boush's pre amble.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That was a moose Boush.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, we the people in order to.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Okay, I was gonna make a joke about a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: moose Boosh is a is not a woman? No comedian,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not what? Nope, Nope, can't go there, Nope. Okay,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: let's do it, guys, handle on the news, Amy, Neil
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and me. All right, once again, as I mentioned, yet
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: another warning, uh, there won't be anything left of Iran
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: after a National security team meeting that he had with
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State and IA Director Steve Witkoff, and what
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: he posted this time is for Iran, the clock is
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: ticking and they better get moving fast or there won't
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: be anything left of them. Time is of essence, President
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: dj T. There's one thing missing on this one. If
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you have, you noticed one major major part of this
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that's missing. Guys, dud doo do doo doo doo do
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: any idea? Okay, I'll jump in. How about a timeline?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you don't need one.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The clock is ticking, I understand, But how those here,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the timelines have now disappeared.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, now you're given a flak for not having a timeline,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and before you were all over him for having a
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: timeline and not adhering to it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: That is correct. Did I not say it's a lose
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: lose proposition? No matter which way he goes on this,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I actually think they're both the same though. Amy to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: not have a timeline is it means nothing. To have
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a timeline that you don't here to means nothing. He's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: truly between a rock and a hard place. He's put
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: himself in a he's painting himself in a position into
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the corner. I mean, it's there's not much he can do.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Uh and and and come out of winter on this my.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Opinion, Ebola is back O. This is so scary.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: A handful of Americans in the Democratic Republic of Congo
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: have been exposed to suspected cases of ebola. It's rearing
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: its ugly head again in the Congo and Uganda. The Americans,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: including a family with children, have been working for a
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: nonprofit in the outbreak area in the eastern area of
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the Congo. The CDC says it is supporting partners who
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: are actively coordinating for the safe withdrawal of the Americans
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: who are directly affected. More than three hundred suspected cases
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: of ebola are active and eighty eight people have died
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: so far, and the who has declared a medical health
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: of a public health emergency.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Two things about a bullet It is one of the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: most fascinating and entertaining diseases that we have. That's for starters.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And the other thing because it is I mean, it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: like Marlborough Marburg syndrome. You bleed out from every orifice
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and it's just neat stuff. And the other thing is
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that Jim Keeney says these that it is so virulent,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it is so dangerous, It is so contagious, it kills
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: so quickly that it burns itself out very quickly. As
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: long as they can contain the general area in which
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: ebola is discovered, it's going to burn itself out.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, it just devastates the people at Yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it kills people before it can spread.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just kills. It just kills you. Yeah, you're done. Goodbye,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: chow baby.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Have you ever visited the Democratic Republic of count.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: No, I have not. I have been to Ka No,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going. I have been to Kenya several times, which
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I am doing it again coming up this Christmas time.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Uganda is one of the places where they have the gorillas.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as uh does Tanzania. So I have been to Uganda,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: as does Tanzania, I believe.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Have Tanzania does not have gorillas.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, and Rwanda have. That's it. Rwanda, thank you. Rwanda
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is any country that's true a mountain gorillas. Have you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: ever been to see the mountain gorillas?
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I have not.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I've Oh, I've been to Africa twice and I haven't
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: made it to the gorilla.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a little pricing now now it's fifteen hundred
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: dollars per person. It's okay if you if you want
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to go up to see the mountain gorillas. I did
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that and it was okay. Here, Yeah, I went up
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the mountain and saw the mountain gorilla. It's a gorilla,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I was. I wasn't that impressed. Yeah, it's a gorilla
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: there it is. Uh, But then again, you know, that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the way I work. And they're habituated. They're still wild,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: but habituated, which means that they are used to people.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Oh that's okay, because then maybe they won't kill you.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't kill They're pretty gentle creatures unless you
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: get in the way of a mom and her little wood.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Did they make you take your shirt off so that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they would think you were one of them?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's very funny. Okay. Also, Rwanda is interesting country,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and that that was where the massacres took place in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: genocide the Hutis and UTIs, the Tutsis and the Hutsis,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and they were killing each other with I mean literally
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: chopping each other up to pieces. And then the president
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of Rwanda, new president came in who is wildly popular
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and did a great job. They did a great job.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: One of the things he did was one day a month,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the entire population had to donate time to the government.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Literally he pick up trash or work on building roads,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and he and everybody went, including him, I like that, Yeah, no.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Kidding, Okay, guys, Well this is something Bill's talked about
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: over and over. The senator lost his primary in Louisiana
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. That's Saturday. That senator was Bill Cassidy, five
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: years after voting to convict Trump on impeachment charges following
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the January sixth Capital riot. Horrific moment in our history.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: If you ask me, Senator Bill Cassidy primary loss on Saturday,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: this is, you know, a two decade career this guy
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: had in public office, ultimately defined by tensions butting heads
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with President Donald Trump. The result marks what some say
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: is another trophy for Trump's collection of ongoing bid to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: ohadily oust republic Is.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Dan Bill Cassidy, who who voted for impeachment one of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the few Republicans that voted for impeachment, was on the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: crap list of the president. He did everything he could
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to bring himself in Trump's good graces, including voting for
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: RFK Junior, even knowing that it was a horrible vote.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Cassidy's a doctor who was involved in vaccine programs in
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Louisiana and voted for an AX vaccine denier, all to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: appease Trump and nothing helps. As the President says, there's
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the line in the sand. If you are disloyal to me,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I am going to get rid of you.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe he can be a public voice against what
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: RFK is doing now that he is a sign.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Now he's no longer he's no longer in power.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So well maybe I'm sure that he'll become a talking head.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I hope so because
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the vaccine business is horrific. But this just points out
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that the Republican Party is one hundred percent controlled by
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the President, that he can I'm mary virtually anybody out,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: no matter how well ensconced they are. We'll see what
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: happens in the general election. Though it's, uh, you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: it's Trump's approval rating is going down pretty dramatically and
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly. But we'll see. I mean, the Republicans are
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: going to overwhelmingly vote for him, there's no question. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how bad the economy is.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: His Mangas supporters are there for him, even the point
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: where I remember I saw one commercial where I went
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: one interview in which a farmer was losing his farm,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: losing it because of a Trump policy, and he said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I believe in our president. Where do
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you go with that?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Moving on, don't blame Taiwan.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Taiwan's representative to the US, Alexander Yee, said, we want
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: peace and stability, but we're not the ones creating all
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: this trouble. Of course, I want a central to China's interest.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Beijing has refused to rule out using military force to
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: retake control, and it was apparently a hot topic at
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the recent summit between President Trump and Chinese President Shijing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Pink.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another one between a rock and a hard place.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: She made it really clear, stay the hell out of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the way with US and Taiwan and the fourteen billion
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: dollar package arms package that you, mister Trump was pushing.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I now wanted to go the other way. And Trump
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: is up in the air. He hasn't decided whether he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: going to sign off or not. You're going to see
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that she was the big winner on this one, no
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: question about it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: All right. Thousands gather in Washington. In this particular case,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it was on the National Mall for a day long
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: prayer rally. They billed it as rededication of our country
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: as one name under God. You had the you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the whole shebang backdrop, You got the Washington Monument, worship
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: music playing on the stage, arch stained glass windows, all
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of these things. It I don't know if this was
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: primarily just Christian nationalism.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was for the most part. It was certainly
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: for the most part.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I get that, and that's what I got originally. But
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: then I read a quote where it says, we are
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: deeply concerned that what is being rededicated is a nation
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to a very narrow and ideological part of the Christian
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: faith and betrays art nation's fundamental commitment to religious freedom.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Says one. But maybe this is per Maybe this is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: someone who is just responding to this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: It is as someone who leads another Christian organizations. This
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: was Rededicate two fifty is what they call it. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the program the two hundred of all the names that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: were on there, and Trump's longtime evangelical supporters were on there,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: one name was not Christian, one of all of them,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and I'm assuming it was a.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Josian, non Christian.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was. I think it was a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: jew because at last I heard someone was on eBay
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: scrambling to buy a foreskin, so I'm assuming that that
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: was the case.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: They called they didn't refer to them as Jewish, they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: called him half a Christian.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, two, one more.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Ukraine just keeps on fighting back. Ukraine has launched its
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: biggest strikes on Moscow in more than a year, with
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: dozens of drones attacking Russia's capital city. The strikes on Sunday,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: apparently demonstrating Kiev's growing ability to launch long range strikes
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: as it tries to damage the Kremlin's war and oil
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: industries and bring the war home to Russia.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeap, piece is still not happening, your boy to Russia
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: dig itself into a hole this way and by invading Ukraine. Also,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Ukraine is being credited, I think rightly so for being
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the most advanced country in the world to deal with drones,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: manufactory of drones and drone defense, the drone attack defenses.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So Ukraine. Now, I remember when Kiev was attacked and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: we all gave we gave Ukraine three days, literally three
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: days that it was going to collapse. Me too, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: was there saying it's going to be three days. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: was off by about four years. And it still hasn't
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: happened yet. Okay.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: A Jewish institution right here in Los Angeles was on
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that list, one of the locations targeted in a recent
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: foiled terrorism plot. So you had the US Attorney for
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton. He announced
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that they thwarted this terrorist attack and this was the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: recent arrest. And let me get this name right because
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it's a long one. Mohammed but Kiir Saad Dahwood al Saadi,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: an Iraqi national and senior member of his ballah, his blah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and by getting him, capturing him, they were able to
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: thwart these attacks. But there was a location right here
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're saying he was involved in eighteen terroristic
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: attacks throughout Europe. It was one bad, bad guy. By
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the way, it is a difficult name to pronounce, Katias Wala.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'll he's call him al for sure, Hey, Al, Yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it's his nickname.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: And then there were five LA County health officials have
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: reported another case of measles that brings the number who
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: have been in the county with measles five for twenty
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: twenty six. This person recently traveled internationally right on Alaska
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: AIRLINES'ES FIGHT thirteen fifty four at the Tom Bradley International
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Airport Terminal B on Thursday. If you're at the terminal
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: between six and eight a m. Last Thursday, you may
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: have been exposed to the measles virus. And public health
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: officials say anybody sitting next to this person, is being
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: on the plane, is being alerted.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Measles If you talk to Jim and a lot of
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: us know, is if not, the one of the most
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: contagious diseases that we have on this planet. And look
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: what they're saying. If you've been within two hours at
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the terminal or sat on the airplane next to this guy,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: how the hell do you know if you sat on
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: an explane next to somebody I don't know who I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: sit next to, have flight manifests.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's we'll contact the people who.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Are Okay, all right, all right, that resonates.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: But here's my question. If you have the vaccine, you're
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: clear right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, then I'm not worried. Have you been vaccinated?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, I think all of us from measles,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: we've certainly been vaccinated. I mean there are even the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: anti vaxers are okay, maybe measles, now, maybe polio. I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: mean the rest of it is out of conversation.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have Lepper Lepper Islands again, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: anybody not vaccinated can live on the islands.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Right. You know there is a leper you know there
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: is a leper colony a Molokai. Yeah, still one yeah,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: still one, last one left. It's a leper colony. The
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: government is it there? Yeah you can. I've been there.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been there.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Came back and my fingers turned gang Greene and fell off.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I shook a leper's hand and then took it home.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. California Superior Court, by the way, that's much better.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Okay has rule.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: That one eight seven seven Cars for Kids, their long
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: running you know jingle that we've heard a bazillion times
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: violates the state's false advertising law and ordered the nonprofit
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: to stop airing.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: The ads in It's in their current form beginning June eighth.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: This was crazy, hilarious. I was listening to Ronner do
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the news the other day. He mentions this story and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: then two spots afterwards, was the Cars for Kids spot,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, that sounds awkward. But this
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: had to do with the vast majority of people not
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: understanding that. And it's not clear in the spots apparently
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that the funds don't go to needy children broadly. The
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: vast majority of the money raised by Cars for Kid
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Kids was instead directed to another nonprofit that funneled money
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to Orthodox Jewish programs.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Orthodox Jewish programs. What a shocker, huh? But also those
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: commercialized there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I know. And they're interviewing those kids. I mean, this
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: is twenty five years later and they're you know, going
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: to Santa Monica and seeing how many of them are
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: drug addicts. Sandar on the street and hooking. Now, that
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: was a joke, Okay, before we get sued, that was parody.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That was a joke. I want to make it very
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: very clear what we oh no, no, I have no no.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Before the lawsuit hit. Now, before the lawsuit hits, we've
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: got to make it really clear.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: If you did pay per view, you're probably p oed.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Former UFC champion Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey needed just seventeen
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: seconds to defeat Gina Carano with her signature arm bar
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Saturday at the Intuit Dome, bringing her mixed martial arts
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: career to a close. Is Gina Carano the one she was,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the one who was on the Mandalorian.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, correct, and she got canceled, Yes correct.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: The story said she lost one hundred pounds for she
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: was fast.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: She gained a lot. She became a pretty big girl. Beautiful.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: They're both beautiful. They were in great shape. But man
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I sent to Kno a meme that I saw made
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: me laugh, said this fight should have been an email.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It just was so short, and you don't want to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: get You don't want to go to the floor with Ronda.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: ROUSI clearly, clearly okay.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Trump receives a kick to the old ballroom. A GOP
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: bill seeking one billion for the Secret Service to help
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: finance President Donald Trump's White House ballroom big time in
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: jeopardy as it faces massive pushback from a top Senate official.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So it goes to say that this is a multi
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: layered ask. A project as complex and large in scale
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: as Trump's proposed ballroom necessarily involves the coordination of many
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: government agencies, which sprint which span the jurisdiction of many
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Senate committees, So said the Senate Democrats.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: This is not a no, it's just procedurally it's a no.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's more coffilicated there.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to go through many more hoops. And
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the argument is that the president can't just arbitrarily one
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: morning wake up and say hey, I have an idea,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: and then it moves forward and the changes. Of course,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it was all private donations. I haven't heard about that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: very much. I'm hearing about a billion dollars and taxpayer money. Now,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the other side of it is a billion dollars for
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: security underneath the ballroom. A billion dollars buys a lot
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: of security. I don't quite understand where a billion dollars goes.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know enough about it. So maybe a billion
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: or it is reasonable for what's under the ballroom. But
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: then what's on top of the foundation a ballroom. It's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the elevators. Elevators all yes's most expensive for sure.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Leave those shrooms alone, please.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: California is dealing with what experts describe as the largest
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: known outbreak of deadly mushroom poisonings in US history. Forty
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: seven confirmed cases since November. Four people were killed, four
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: had to have liver transplants. Most of the illnesses are
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: linked to amatoxin containing mushrooms, including death caps and Western
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: destroying angels, which are highly toxic species that look a
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: lot like edible mushrooms.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Now, Amy, I have a question, wouldn't you want people
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: that go out and forage for mustrooms in the forest
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and eat them. Wouldn't you want them out of the
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: gene pool anyway?
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Well, mushrooms are very popular, Bill, I'm not arguing that
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: it's the foraging that he's quite.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It's the foraging. Yes.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I used to when I would make bread. I had
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a friend who said, you know, they sell that at
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the Vonns. So I can imagine if you're foraging, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: could get it all right. Uh, what a bummer. So
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you've got months and months of preparation. And it looks
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: like permitting issues forced organizers to cancel the Pride Festival
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in Long Beach, but the parade marched on uh with
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the as scheduled on Sunday, despite all the cancelation of
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the festival, and and I thought this was kind of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a cool way to still celebrate. It looks like people
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: scrambled and went to local you know, the bars and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: restaurants and still celebrated. They just whatever the permitting issue
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that forced.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Whose dumb move was the.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how is it? If you're talking all about this
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: planning and to do one of these events takes months
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: of planning, you would think that the permits would be
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: one of the first things you would put.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: To bed, and that they canceled it literally hours before
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: the festival was supposed to start.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what it's you can't get somebody at city
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Hall to go okay, there was a mix up whatever.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I get it that somebody dropped the ball somewhere, But
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: you can't find someone to sign off on a permit.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Don't know. And maybe it's hard to get someone to
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: sign off on anything. It's easier to say no, far
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: easier to say no in any governmental procedure or ask
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I think we have time for one more?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Oh good?
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: It was a magical Disney Day. Pedro Pascal, who stars
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: in The Mandalorian and Grogu which hits theaters May twenty second,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: showed up at a Galaxy's Edge on Saturday in the
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Disneyland Park. He put on his Mandalorian armor and his helmet,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: and then when people walked into the Millennium Falcon Smuggler's
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Run ride, he took off his helmet and was there.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, such an awesome video, so amazing, right, you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: because he does it. The whole point of being a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Mandalorian is you don't take off your helmet. And he
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: takes it off and everybody freaks out and he says,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: now that you've all seen my face, you al must die.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So very cool. I love when they do stuff like
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that at the park.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then Sigourney Weaver was there too, which I
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: would think would be very cool. And then the director
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: of the Mandalorian grogu, John Favreau, was also there. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: of course, again this all done in advance of the
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: movie's release, and they're re tooling Smugglers Run so it'll
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: be Mandalorian themed and that opens on May twenty second
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: as well. All right, Bill, you're supposed to be excited
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: about this stuff now, now that you're a Disney fan.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I am, but no, I've always been Disney fan.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: My complaint has never been Disney in and of itself.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It was always the constant was always, it was always
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the lines. And Neil and Ewett said, you know what,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: in the end, it's all worthwhile. And having gone to
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Disciland for the first time in what thirty years? Okay, Yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: there's enough great stuff there that it is worth it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, with that in mind, let's do this
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: talk about movies and Hollywood. There is a production crisis
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: and it has become a major issue in the LA
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Mayor's race, and I'll talk about that when we come back.
• 30:34

• 30:39
