  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And I still like them an Aura, by the way,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: doing it every night, and I'm getting my share of Yamaica's,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: which I've enjoyed.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Do you get a Yamaica every day.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: No, I don't get a new yamaca every day. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I Have I ever shown you my coonskin Yamaica.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: No, we just saw your little blue elf Yamica.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I have a coonskin Yamaica. Now I had
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to have a custom made because they don't sell many
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: coonskin yamakas. But it is imagine a Yamica with the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: big tail coming out the back, all fluffy taiale. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know of anybody who's ever worn a coonskin Yamaica,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: but I have one, and I have shown up at
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: funerals with that. Believe me, it's I've become a hit
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of the party if you consider a funeral at party,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: which I do, wait, because I enjoy funerals. You know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy about funerals are the viewings, which I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: don't understand because in the Jewish religion, you don't show bodies.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You just people are in caskets.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Actually they're in boxes, and you don't open the boss
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: at the top and start looking at dead bodies. And
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the first time I went to a funeral where you
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: actually did see the dead body, and I must have
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: been I don't know nine ten years old, and I'd
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: been to a couple of funerals before, but Jewish funerals.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So this was actually I think this was a Jew,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a dead Jew who was being buried, I might add.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And it was open casket. It was open casket, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: people were filing past, and what you hear is, oh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: he looks so peaceful.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh he looks like he is sleeping. You know. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: go past that, I look down. I go no, no,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he looks dead.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know when people look when people are dead, they
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: don't look like they're sleeping. They look like they're dead.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And I've ever since then, you know, I tend to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: poke people. You know, is that really you? And having
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a rip roaring good time. I'm not invited to too
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: many funerals, I might add.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And then jokes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You got a joke at a funeral, which is actually
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: pretty funny because people do that now and they talk
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: about how.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The deceased was funny or stories.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of like that, particularly like Indian Oh in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the funerals in India are great because they well, person
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: becomes firewood and they just light that person on fire
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and floats down the Ganges and just makes the Ganges
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: completely filthy and it's just fantastic, all of it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I once said, remember we did a thing, was it
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a few months ago? In different funerals, crazy ass funerals,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and we should do it again during the holiday season
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because it's so uplifting.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Different way people die and are buried and.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Are buried, yeah, the customs, Yeah, yeah, super super All
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: right guys. Oh and today it's ask candle anything. We
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: don't have foody Friday because of course Neil is not here.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do it, guys the Friday before Christmas.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: It's time for Handle on the.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: News with Amy and me lead story.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Well, it looks.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Like the shooting suspect is no longer a suspect.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: That's the Brown University.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Also the killing of the MIT professor a few days later,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and the authorities connected the two and it was all
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: done by a tip.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: We knew that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And the authority said, we're only going to catch this
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: guy with a tip anyway, Claudio Manuel neviz Valente, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: he bounced all over town Boston and then he went.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He went from.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Brown to storage facility in New Hampshire where they found him.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He had blown his brains out, which I want to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: thank him for that. Incidentally, for doing that, I mean,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I wish he had done that before he killed the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: students and the professor. But how much money you think
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: he saved us in terms of trial, in terms of
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: legal representation, which would be paid for by the taxpayer.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Anyway, he's completely dead.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And that story continues, and now the story's going to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: take on political overtones.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Of course it is.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And as a matter of fact, Amy, let's talk about
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that story.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Well, the Brown shooter is stopping green cards. President Trump
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: has suspended the green card lottery program.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: That allowed the guy who was the suspect.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: In the Brown University and MIT shootings to get into
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the US. So Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noms said that
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: under President Trump's direction, she's ordered the US Citizenship and
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Immigration Services to pause the program. Of course, Claudio Neives
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Valente is suspected in those shootings. He had studied at
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Brown and was on a student visa, but it was
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: back in the year two.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Thousand, which is so bizarre that this was like sparked
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: twenty years ago or something.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: But in twenty seventeen he was issued a diversity immigrant
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: visa and then obtained legal permanent residence status.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And because of this, because I think he had come
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in on the lottery program or maybe not even No,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that's how he got in is through that day and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: a Christinome is arguing he should never have been led
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: into the country, which is true, and therefore we have
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to suspend the entire program. And as a naturalized American citizen,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the next time a naturalized American citizen commits some kind
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of a horrific act, does Christinome say, oh, this person
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: should never have been naturalized and therefore let's stop that program.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm looking around saying, wait a minute, does
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: that mean that my citizenship is going to be taken away?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Which of course it won't and it can't I don't believe.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: But it's sort of a lot of broad strokes here.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Well, they suspended it, they didn't cancel it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Right, Well it's going to be canceled. I mean, there's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's there's any issue at this point.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they just suspended it. Do they
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: give you a time a sense of time? I don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: think so.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: They didn't. But listen to this. The diversity program makes
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: up fifty thousand green cards a year.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Right, nearly twenty million people applied for a visa in
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: twenty for this particular visa in twenty twenty five.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: That what does that tell you about people wanting to
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: come in the United States?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you? Number one, how good it
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is the United.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: States, even with the craziness going in, and how bad
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it is the rest of the world.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That's why our show is so popular.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It's not that it's good, It's just that everybody else
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: is bad. That's why I only hang around with poor
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: people because I'm considered rich among poor people. I don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: hang around people with a lot of money. I want
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to feel rich. So therefore it's the other side, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you have to look at it in sort of a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: negative way. Oh, what a shocker. Look at it in
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a negative way. I've never I've never done that, have I?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, smile?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: More photos are out.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have publicly released another
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: batch of pictures about Jeffrey Epstein. There are seventy photos,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: including a heavily redacted photos of women's passports, pictures of
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: famous men who associated with Epstein, and what is being
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: called concerning text messages about recruiting women for Jeffrey Epstein.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I've seen some of the messages. It's like, Hey, I
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: need somebody. I'll send you another girl. Well, she charges
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: one thousand dollars, great, go get her. I think Jay
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: will like her. Kind of crazy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we everybody knows the Epstein issue. It's
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: how much or what was the extent of the famous
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: people with Epstein, and of course particularly particularly President Trump,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: who is all over those files.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Not that he did anything wrong.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: But you know, as I said earlier, the reason I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: think the Justice Apartment and the administration so reluctant to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: release those files, although today is the last day we'll
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: see if they are released based on that congressional vote,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: is that we're going to find out that Trump was
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: just a lot closer to Epstein than we are reported.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think he did anything wrong. I don't think
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you have I don't think you have a Prince Andrew
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: where his arm is around a fourteen year old and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: they're smiling.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So that's my take on it. We'll see.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Don't you think if there were those pictures they would
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: have been released by now? Not necessarily, there's ninety five
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: thousand of them out there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I know, but the government has picked a lot of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: them up, and I don't know how many were actually
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: For example, that video.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Of the second hit on the drug boat, which now
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I love that one. Pete the President says, yeah, we're
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: going to release it. Pete Hegsith says no, we have
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to look at it very carefully. And then now yesterday
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: their top secret. We can't release them at all. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: this is blowing up a boat with people either clinging
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: to or not clinging to the debris.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's just do you think that the rest of the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: file is going to be released today?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Midnight's the deadline.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'm guessing that something else is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I think the announcement is going to be that some
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of those people are now under investigation and they can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: release those files.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: That's my guest. I may be wrong.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, I knew you were going to love this. We
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: talked about it, but wake up call.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Kennedy has to share the spotlight with Trump.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: The board of the John F.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has voted unanimously to
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: rename the Kennedy Center as the Trump Kennedy Center for
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the Performing Arts. The Center's vice president of public relations said,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: the unanimous vote recognizes that the current chairman, President Trump
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Now this is after the President fired everybody on the board,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: put in his hand selected board members, and they voted
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: unanimously to then rename the Center.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: And are you going to report on the government now
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: asking for bigs in terms of redoing Mount Rushmore.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Bis will now be coming in.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's still my turn because Neil's not here.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Basic economy sucks. You all know that if you fly right, well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: it's worse now. Customers who buy base economy tickets on
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: American Airlines starting yesterday and moving forward will no longer
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: earn a advantage miles or loyalty points toward a advantage status.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: So you're not only flying the cheapest seats.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: You don't get awarded miles even if you join their
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: loyalty programs. But a spokesperson says Basic economy customers will
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: continue to receive one free personal item and one free
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: carry on bag, free snacks, soft drinks, and in flight entertainment.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I thought that when you full American Airlines, you didn't
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: get a free carry on bag.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I thought they charged you for bags across the board on.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: American I do. I think it's usually the smaller airlines, like.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what story says.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I thought everybody has.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: No most of them for carry ons. They don't charge,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: except like Spirit and a Velo.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Oh you're right, right, little it's a carry on.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Bag, right, Yeah, they charged for the CHECKLNK right.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Policy changes or not, The US Coast Guard has deleted
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: language from its new workplace harassment policy that had downgraded
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: the definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to what it calls potentially devices. But now Adam Kevin
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Lunde or Admiral Kevin Lunday, said those revisions have been
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: completely removed from the policy manual. He said that a
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: separate directive he issued last month prohibiting swastikas and nooses
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: remains in full effect.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a question who, somehow would decide in
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the upper reaches of the Coastguard that a swastika or
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: a noose would no longer be a hate symbol.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It would just now be divisive.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Divisive is a big sign that says Republicans suck.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: That's divisive. A swastika.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank god at least the admiral the acting
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: command and said no, no.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Now we have to go back to where it was. Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Swastikas and newses are not good news. They're way more
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: than just divisive.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It's high time this happened.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Ooh very strong.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: President Trump has signed an executive order to fast track
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the reclassification of cannabis. He says it's to increase medical
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: marijuana and CBD research so patients and doctors can be
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: better informed about their uses. He says it's critical to
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: close the gap between current medical marijuana and CBD use
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: and medical knowledge of risks and benefits. That's in the order.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: The order does not make cannabis legal nationwide.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: No, but it's the first step because medical marijuana started,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: that was the first step towards well, it was decriminalization,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: medical marijuana was allowed, and then recreational marijuana.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So it's moving in the right direction.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And the way that the government looked at marijuana is
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: completely insane, as most of us know. So good for
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the president at least making a first step, because other
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: presidents did not would not do the same thing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Suing over the Second Amendment, the US government has sued
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a US territory, the US Virgin Islands, also its police
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: department and its Police Commissioner, accusing them of obstructing and
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: systematically denying American citizens the right to possess and carry guns,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: challenging the Second Amendment. The US Virgin Islands requires gun
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: applicants to demonstrate what it calls good reason to fear
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: death or great injury to his person or property, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: also to have two credible persons to vouch for their
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: need for a weapon.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: That is actually fairly easy to ascertain because basically showing
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a need of a firearm or showing your need for
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: asylum based on great injury to your person, any asylum,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: any judge will do that. Any immigration judge has to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: make that determination, So that's not hard to do. The
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: one which I don't get is someone has to have
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: good moral character.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me what that is. That's the point.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I mean. His lawsuit is absolutely right on. You can
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: be disbarred, for example, for moral turpitude, but that is
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: after you've been convicted or a hearing has been held.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: This one is prior to no gun. If you're not
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a good moral person. Okay, yeah, it's I don't know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to win, and I think it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: a good lawsuit.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Personally, well, the racing world is in mourning.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: That business jet that crashed yesterday at an airport in
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: North Carolina had seven people on board, including retired NASCAR
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: driver Greg Biffle and his family. Biffle, I don't know
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: how close closely you followed NASCAR, but he's from the
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Northwest and when I was up in Portland, he was
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: racing on that circuit before he went over to NASCAR.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I think he used to race trucks or something.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he was killed along with his family when
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the plane crashed trying to land at Statesville Regional Airport
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: and burst into flames.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't say whether he was a pilot or not.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: He was not there.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: There were two pilots apparently on board, and then five passengers.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: The video of that plane crashing is it just amazing?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Isn't it awful?
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: And there was fog, but they haven't determined why there
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: was why it crashed. It had just recently taken off
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: and then like after about ten minutes.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Around and came back and then it had crashed just
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a few hundred yards prior to hitting the runway where
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it would not have crash, you would have landed successfully.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So well, we'll hear from the NTSB. You don't have
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a question about the NTSB, and that is every time
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: there's a crash, every time there's a train derailment or crash,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the investigators for the NTSB are out there.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: How many investigators do they have? I mean, how many.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Crashes a airplane even small airplane incidences, small ones are
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: investigated by the NTSB.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I don't get it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe there are people that are on their ten ninety
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: nine contractors that you know, we're former investigators that are
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: now on they work part time. I ever wondered about that, amy,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: of course.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Not not ever, even once I know, well.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes to show.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You why you make sense that I don't.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think this woman just wants to write off
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: A New York attorney and her golden retriever are suing
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: the irs.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Here's why.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Amanda Reynolds and her dog, eight year old Finnegan, have
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: found the lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: They argue that the dog relies entirely on her for food, shelter,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: medical care, training, and transportation, has no independent income, resides
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: exclusively with her annual expenses top five thousand dollars, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: she and the dog say that fits the requirements for.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: The dog to be a legal dependent.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the problem with that. It's the irs
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: that makes the rules as to who is a dependent
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: or not. It's not her, And so you don't have
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a fundamental right to not pay taxes or to notice
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: or note who a dependent is.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: This is just absolutely fun. Yeah, but it's.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Sure why not? And I get this all the time
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: on handle on the news. Oh I have my dog
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: was killed, and therefore I want to sue because the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: value of my dog and it is a member of
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the family.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Its property is what it is. It's like your cookwaar
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: at home. That's legally what a dog or a pet is.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I mean that's the reality. So I mean, what's gonna
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: happen with this? It's just fun.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: My cookware does not cost me two thousand dollars when
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I take it to the vet.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true, you're right, the vet is. Well, I
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: just went to the vet with my little one. Just
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: have her nails cut, you know, and check her out.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: It said it was six hundred dollars. I'm gonna go
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: what is this?
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Wow? Yeah, did you get all the tests done? They
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: love to run tests.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Now, oh yeah they I think we did a blood test,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but it was just really they just took blood out
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: just to take blood out and then threw it away
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: just so you can a good charge.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: More drug votes destroyed.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: The military's conducted strikes against two more alleged drug trafficking
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: boats in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: That was esterday. Five more people were killed. The strikes
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: are part of.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: An ongoing campaign dubbed Operations Southern Spear. So far, at
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: least one hundred four people have been killed by those
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: strikes on the drug boats.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this may be a violation of not only
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: US law, but international law. Now, there's no doubt that
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: these drug boats have drugs on them. The problem is
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you have to before you blow them up. There has
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: to be a legal basis for that, and there doesn't
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: seem to be a legal basis other than we think
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: there are drugs aboard these boats.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: We think there are. Well that's a tough one.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Well haven't they recovered anything from them?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: No, because they're all blown up. You think that they
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: would have one bail of one blail one package of
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: cocaine usually is cocaine coming out of Venezuela and not fentanyl,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: which comes out of Mexico. And you think they would
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: find some drugs there. But I don't even think they
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: come up. The Coastguard comes up and does anything. You
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: see every one of those. You know, the government releases
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: every attack except the one where it was that second
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: hit that we're never going to see because that one's
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: top secret. But yeah, you're going to see more and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: more of these. And you know the problem is these
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: poor schmucks who in fact are driving these boats, spanning
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: these boats.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: They aren't criminals, I guess in a sense they're criminals.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But these are the poor farmers who are starving to death.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The cartel hires for five hundred bucks ago is what
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I heard, and they're the ones that are dying.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Moving on.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Judge could be headed to jail.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: A jury in Wisconsin has found a judge guilty of obstructing.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: She obstruction. She's accused of helping.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: An a legal immigrant from Mexico dodge federal authorities.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: So here's what happened.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: The judge found out that some ICE agents were in
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: the corridor outside her courtroom waiting for the guy from Mexico.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: So she left the courtroom, went to confront the ICE agents,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: told them that their administrative warrant for the man wasn't
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: sufficient grounds to arrest him, and said go talk to
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: the chief judge. And then while the agents were gone,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: she told his attorney the Mexican guys that she could
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: attend his next hearing via zoom so we wouldn't have
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: to go to court, and then she led him and
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: the attorney out of private door.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much obstructing a federal criminal official.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's obstructing. And she should have been nailed on that.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I and she can be in favor of certainly immigrant
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: rights and she can rule, but she can rule for example,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I think it was legitimate for her to say I
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: want to do this by zoom, but helping him escape
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to avert being arrested by ICE, she's crossed the line
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: on that one.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: She truly has. I would have voted also guilty.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, so your utility bills are going to stay high
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: because so cal Edison gets to keep profits.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: So there were complaints from.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Customers about rising electric bills of course, but the CPUC,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: the California Public Utilities Commission, voted yesterday four to one
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: to keep profits at so Cal Edison and the state's
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: other big investor owned utilities at a level that consumer
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: groups say has been inflated. They're going to allow them
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: to continue. That part isn't going to apparently keep buildings.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of pieces moving on this one, and
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: coming up at eight o'clock, I'm going to dive into
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: it a little bit deeper.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because the utilities are building.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they profit when they do building, you see.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And uh yeah, notwithstanding that Sun Gas and Electric is
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: probably liable and just to blame for the fires, the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: eating fire, and we'll certain yeah the Altadena fire.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think we have time for one more. Nope,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: we don't.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because the story has been boring anyway, Okay,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I'll make it.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I'll be Now.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: It's Ann who puts these together, and usually she does
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: a brilliant job, but occasionally she does something that puts
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: everybody to sleep, including me, or puts me to sleep,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: not including you.
