  Speaker 2: I said, your kidney's about to explode. But I wouldn't
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: say it was kidney issues.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, because you know that my kidney, my lovely beautiful
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: angel Julie Kidney Donor listens. Yeah, so I got a text. Yeah,

  Speaker 3: I'm like, nope, her kidney is the only thing in
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: my body that works.

  Speaker 3: You ask me how I'm doing, I go, I'm fine, fine, Yes, exactly.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It didn't.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think I had much to do with your kidney.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I think you just had the cruds. Yeah, no, it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: just it did have the haunt of virus?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: No, probably no. Oh geez, Like, isn't it like more
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: rational to think I'm going to get hit by lightning
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: than to think that I'm going to get the haunt
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: of virus? Yeah?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Pretty low, pretty low unless you were on that ship.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I think that such a big deal is being made
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of this. I said this earlier, right, I personally, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: think a bigger deal is being made of this than
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: should be.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Oh sorry, that was a perfect time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: That's all right, Lloyd and Mary.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Where we go looking for things to be miser about,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: miserable about it? These days were just.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: As if we don't have as if we don't have
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: things about. All right, let's do we already talked about
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Mother's Day? Uh, And I had a great time with
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: my mom. She didn't speak much, but uh, it was
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a quiet time where I visited her.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: And uh, what else? You know, you've been getting a
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: lot of pushback on the way you talk about your
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: mom on the talkbacks.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: She's not complaining, so why shouldn't anybody else?
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, If that's okay with you, let's do it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Weird start of the morning, isn't it weird? Did I
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: say good morning to you?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Will?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yes? I always forget if I say good morning, that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: how important you are my life will because the second
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I say good morning, you disappear from my life.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: There we go. I thought about you yesterday I was
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: at Disneyland, and now my feet hurt.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's one thing you do Amy,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: what did do we do? We walked what seven and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a half eight miles?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Was it that much? I think it's about fifteen thousand
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: steps so maybe more?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, ten thousand steps.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah we did good?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, so Will's feet hurt fair enough, let's do it, guys.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: We've got plenty to cover today as always, so it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: time for Handle on the News with Amy. Neil is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: here and me Lee story. Well, President Lee's today for Beijing,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and he's flying on the Panda Express and he is
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: going to meet with actually funny, thank you. I don't
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: get that from you very much. Okay, that's true. You
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: have been sick, so you're a little bit open.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I may find you funny. Yeah, that's true.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Anyway, he's going to meet with President G and President
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: G is holding all the cards. I tell you right now,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the President is not coming there with strength because we're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: looking at the balance of trade issue. The Iran issue
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is really tough because Iran is an ally and Russia
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: is an ally of Iran. Iran produces what ninety percent
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: of Iranian oil goes to Russia.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be really.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Interesting to see what happens and I think, no matter
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: what happens, I mean, it's a win for the president.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Just you know, just ask him. It doesn't matter what
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it is. It's all a win. Gas prices are a win.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And they're gonna like a rock. Oh there's a great story.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna do later what a transportation secretary
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: or Hassett said about credit cards.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: It is a hilarious quote that I'm gonna give you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But anyway, off he goes to the White House, or
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: off he goes to see President g That's a long
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: flight Washington, d C.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: To China.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That has to be fifteen sixteen hours in the air. Now, granted,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Air Force one is not a bad way to fly.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But you can't go outside for a breath of fresh air.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You're kind of stuck there, huh in the plane.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah you are.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: But you know, I you know, you have your own bedroom,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: really nice bedroom. You have that bathroom which looks like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a hotel bathroom, and ain't bad it really.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It's not like he's flying economy. No, given just a
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: little more time, the Supreme Court's gonna leave women's access
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to the abortion pill. Myth of press stone, and they're
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: going to leave it wide open while they continue to
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: consider whether to allow restrictions on the drug. So they
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: had put a pause on these restrictions. They were supposed
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: to run out today, but they've pushed it back again
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and now it's until Thursday. Just as Samuel Alito's order
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: allows women seeking abortions to continue getting the pill at
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: pharmacies or through the male without an in person visit
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to a doctor.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Or now and I think the court's going to go
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to making the drug illegal. He's going to back up
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Louisiana and saying there will be no mefiristone sent into
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: by mail into Louisiana, and anybody who wants to take
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: it it's already there in Louisiana, must see a doctor
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: in person, has to see a doctor, and has to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: be prescribed the pill. So they make it very, very difficult.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And there have been attempts prior to Row. If you
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: look at the lawsuits that were filed to limit abortion,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: some were completely crazy. Some laws that were passed, one
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of them being, for example, that an abortion clinic had
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to be within thirty miles of a hospital and had
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to meet the hospital standards. It's an outpatient procedure, but
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: in cases of abortion it had to have the same
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: levels as hospitals, and there were far far more dangerous
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: or riskier procedures operations that didn't need to do that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll see what happens. I think Louisiana is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: going to prevail on this with the Supreme Court had to.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Guess Louisiana, does she need to bring her brother to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: so both parents are there, that's a good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Point, or does she need and does she bring her
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: brother and her husband being one and the same person?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, boy, I remember and we were hard
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: on commies Eileen Wang and our Katia City leader facing charges.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: We've talked about this in the past of acting as
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: an illegal foreign agent of Chana. She resigned Monday after
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: reaching an agreement to resolve the federal case. She who
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: was she was previously elected to the city council that
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: was back in twenty twenty two, stepped down as mayor
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: on Monday, hours after plead agreement was unsealed. So the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: officials and Wang's attorneys said her the conduct described by
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: federal authorities occurred before Wayne was elected. Maximum sentence for
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the charges ten years in prison. She was acting as
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: an agent of China.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can't do that in the United States,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the unregistered agent in the United States. That is a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: very fairy big deal. Yeah, ten years in prison, that's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: been ten years. Yeah, I'm telling you, they take it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The FEDS take this very seriously. That doesn't sound serious
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to me. Well, no, ten years sounds like a pretty
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: good healthy sentence. Now, was she going to get ten years?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Probably not, because that's the max. And so I don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: even know what the the standards are. I mean, there's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a formula at the court follows indicated sentence things.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: So I don't think she's going to get ten years.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: But it's a big deal.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: A couple of things in America, man, I got to
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: tell you, the laws go way way beyond other countries,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: one of them being registered unregistered agent of a foreign country.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Insider trading is insane. How careful the US is about that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Other countries don't even bother with that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Got to get those prices down. President Trump says he
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: wants to suspend the federal gas tax while the Iran
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: war continues to push pump prices higher and higher. He said,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: stopping the gas tax temporarily is a small percentage, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: you know, it's still money. So federal taxes are eighteen
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: point three cents a gallon for gas and twenty four
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: point three cents per gallon for diesel. But he can't
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: do it alone. It has to be done by Congress.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Congress is going to pass it anything the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: president wants, of course.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: So well except Soon came out yesterday and said I
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: don't like it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: He said, I don't like it, but I'm willing to listen.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And when the president you watch, you watch now, And
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I'm rarely wrong. Matter
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: of fact, I'm very rarely wrong, almost never, quite often. Okay, anyway,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I have here. Yeah, one thing I disagree with the president.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: He said it's a small percentage. Eighteen cents a gallon
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: is not a small percentage.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: That is a healthy hit.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So eliminating the federal tax now eighteen cents a gallon
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: for us in California, Well that may.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: If Newsome can take a lead from or take a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: hint from Trump and get rid of those crappy two
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: dollars taxes or whatever we can. Yeah, No, they're pretty high.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I think, Well, here just to give you. I'm looking
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: at a list here, and California, of course, the most
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: expensive gas. We average in California over six dollars a gallon.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Alaska is a little over five dollars a gallon. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: then we go through the rest of the country Iowa
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: under five, Idaho under five, substantially, Colorado under five, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we're at way over six.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: California is the outlier. And it has nothing to do
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: with Trump. He just pushed it more high.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not arguing that not only the state is
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the state. Absolutely, I'm not even saying that it hasn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: anything to do with the Trump. You mentioned state taxes,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and I agree.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I wish they just just for the time, for the
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: time being, just kind of stop them.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, We're going to talk a little bit
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: more about that later on because that is a big
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: hit to the Highway Trust Fund. So we got to
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the point where we don't trust our highways.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: So good, all right on, So this one we've talked
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: about a lot. You know, its handle about being fearful
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: of these types of things, But the truth of the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: matter is Trump uses the FCC as a weapon, period,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and we don't even need a whistleblower to tell us
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: this ABC has been a victim of sustained, coordinated campaign
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: of censorship and control by the Trump administration. The Federal
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Communications Commissioner Anna Gomez, who happens to be the only Democratic,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: she's the lone Democratic commissioner, very outspoken as a critic
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of many of Carr's action. Of course, her boss Brendan Carr.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But she wrote a note apparently to Josh Tomorrow, who's
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the new chief executive of Disney and the network's parent
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: company there. So it's basically she told them what we
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: all know that it's being WEAPONI in the FCC is
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: trying to bully ABC.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, saying you either fire Jimmy Kimmel or we're
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: going after but they're going after the license anyway. Uh,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the that's with the Feds or the I.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Say, we split the difference, leave Jimmy alone and get
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: rid of the view. Uh yeah. And they're also arguing
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: about the view. It's it's uh, you say you got
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: to get rid of the view.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: The bottom line is anybody who speaks ill of the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: administration or Trump personally is on the chopping block with
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: any kind of federal oversight and.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: You know, what do you do about that? Yeah, you
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: know they have the power.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Now, can you imagine if ABC's license licenses were yanked?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Oh man, can you imagine.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: How many how many Republicans you think would go crazy?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Or would they line up? Would they line up? And
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that. I don't know
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the answer.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: There are a few things that go over the line,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: and one shutting down a network or the network station's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: O and O owned and operated, and stay.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Talking about it to me is anathema. I mean, well,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: it's it's happening.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean there at this point, an investigation of ABC
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: is right now open. Not anybody, not any other network,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: just ABC. All right, we'll see, all right, good news
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: on the my oral forum, which this is, this is
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: right up my alley, Amy, in terms of not watching it,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: they beat me to it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because maybe Bass chickened out. So there was
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: a televised forum planned for tomorrow for the mayor candidate,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: but over the weekend Mayor Bass said, oh gosh, I
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: can't go. I got to back out. I got to
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: be in Sacramento. She had previously committed to participating in
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the forum. Spencer Pratt already had said that he couldn't
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: participate because of a scheduling conflict, and so then yesterday
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Nathia Rahman, the city council woman, dropped out because she
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: said the main reason she would participate would be to
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: go toe to toe with Bass. So that leaves Ray
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Huang and tech entrepreneur Adam Miller. So they canceled it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: They canceled it well, and then there were they had
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: invited an assistant manager at Burger King to join the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: debate and a little and he couldn't make it either.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: He said, now I have to cover a shift, all right.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So NBC Universal has signed off on a TV adaptation
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: of the popular New York Times puzzle wordle fun to Say,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Fun to Play that will be hosted by Savannah Guthrie.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, so the Jimmy Fallon, who
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: has a producing company, is co producing the show, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Guthrie announced the series pick up just yesterday on The
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Today Show. So it's going to start to production later
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: this year. It'll debut on NBC in twenty twenty seven.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Now do you find a little bit ironic since the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: wordal word disappears every day that it was Savannah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: No okay, no, no, no bad dog bad okay moving,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: She's Louise.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: OnlyFans creator is only a killer An OnlyFans creator was
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: filming a BDSM fetish session for her followers by gluing
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: a woman's boots onto a man's feet and then binding
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: him in saran wrap. Michael Dale lay in his home
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: in Escadido, Escunddo with a plastic bag wrapped around his head,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: sealed with duct tape for at least eight minutes as
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Mikayla railers down, vibrator in hand, kept the cameras rolling.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: She only called nine to one one when he started
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: turning blue, and by then it was too late.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: There are two sides to that coin, you know. No,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: go back to bed, and who are we, incidentally to
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: argue with someone else's foreplay?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Isn't it just none of your business? I'm not a prude,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: binding stretch of the imagination. But isn't just basic, wonderful
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: connective sex pretty darn good onto itself?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Connective sex?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: This was super glue that she used to glue her.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Feet to his face. Wow, okay, okay, all right, well
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: let's go to some you know, political news that has
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with us here in the States. Really,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: dozens of Labor Party law makers called on Prime Minister
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Stormer to resign on Monday. This is rejecting their leader's
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: efforts to kind of quell this mutiny in the party
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: ranks and raising the likelihood of, you know, a pretty
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: pretty major leadership battle there. So by the end of yesterday,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: news organizations tallied more than seventy Labor lawmakers who publicly
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: said they wanted a fresh start. And we'll see what
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: ends up happening.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: My guy daughter, who you know, Jenny Les, who's a
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: brit and her parents and her a lot of her
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: friends live in Britain, although she lives here in the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: United States. She talks about Starmer. He is so deeply
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: hated that they're looking at the Labor Party just basically
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: getting skewered in the next election. And you got a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: lot of lawmakers part of the Labor Party you're saying, hey, resign, resign,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: get the hell out of there, although they vote a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: no contest vote or no confidence vote and get them out. So,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy going on over there.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: If Trump wants it, someone wants it not to happen
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: pretty standard. Trump administration wants to paint the Lincoln Memorial's
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: reflecting pool. It has long featured a gray basin, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: they want to make it blue. The lawsuit, filed in
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: federal court in Washington, d c. By the Cultural Landscape
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Foundation argues the project violates federal laws that require the
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Interior Department to complete a consultation process that includes notifying
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: the public of plans and getting input from other federal
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: agents before beginning the work. In the lawsuit, the founder
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, or actually the president and CEO,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: says a blue tinted basin is more appropriate for a
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: theme or resort park.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Be happy this commission should be happy that the administration
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: is not arguing for a giant portrait of the president
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: at the bottom of the.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Pool or painting it red.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, orange, yeah, yeah, But what's the purpose?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Why change it?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Because he wants to change it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, he wants to make it look pretty, yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: and he wants to And what he wants to do
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: is put his stamp on everything in the Capitol so
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: that when he leaves, everything will be Trump.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And I just think that blue sometimes can be God,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: You're not arguing that I agree.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I think blue is great. I don't have a problem
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I'm playing in this sense. It seems like I think
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the response is kind of appropriate that I mean, Gray.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: You're saying that Trump is gotdi no.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: No, But it's by the way, I don't disagree.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I would vote for a blue pool.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: But the point is I would vote, and there are
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: laws that commissions have to be involved, and there has
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to be input, and there just isn't any.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Listen. I do think he wants everybody says no to
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: but I don't understand this particular one. That's what I'm saying.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I think it's more the process. How he wakes up
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: in the morning and says, this is what I'm going
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to do, notwithstanding law, commissions, none of that, just ignoring
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: all of that, any controls.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: What's paper work, It's all paperwork. Yeah, it's a good point,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: all right. Former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson was on the
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: stand yesterday in that horrible case dealing with Rebecca Grossman
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: killing those two young brothers with their Mercedes in Westlake
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Village crosswalk. He says he wasn't racing her. If you remember,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: it involved two vehicles and Scott was in one of them,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Rebecca was in the other. They were then lovers at
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the time, and Erickson, on the stand, wanted to refute
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: claims by the family of Grossman's victims that he and
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Grossman were racing when she hit Mark and Jacob is
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Candor eleven and eight years old. However, shut the hell up, dude,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: because he also admitted he deleted numerous messages he exchanged
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: with Grossman after she hit the boys. He also admitted
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: that when police asked him to turn over the Mercedes
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: he was driving the day of the crash, he gave
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: them another vehicle. So why trust this guy at all?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Ye not suspicious, Not suspicious at all.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, just shut the hell up. You guys were
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: being stupid, probably drinking, and just shut up. Yeap.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: She cruised right over the edge. A Carnival Cruise Line
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: guest has died after driving her scooter off the pier
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: at the private Bahamas destination. It happened May ninth. The
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Carnival celebration was visiting and she went off the over
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: the edge of the pier. They gut her out, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: they couldn't resuscitate her.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Carnival did say that they were delighted they were
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: able to rescue the scooter, they were able to bring
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: it out of the water.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what this says, but a large
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: investor in Mattel is asking the toymaker to sell itself
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: to a big investor and take its shares off the
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: stock market. Is that usually a good thing that always
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: ends up in like the pen selling pieces of it
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: or not? Well, no, this is some pieces. No, this
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: is a whole company. I get it, But like, does
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: anybody ever treat it the same when it goes in
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: that direction? But Southeastern is asset management, which oversees four
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: percent of Mattel stock. Set in this letter released last week,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: the company would be better off if it was owned
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: by a private equity firm.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And it depends on the company, depends on how much
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: trouble that Matella is in, depends on how low the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: stock goes, It depends, it depends on how the management
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: is doing its job. And then there are people that
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: come in and say, we can do a whole lot
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: better and we can make more money, and then we
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: can sell it at a better price.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens all the time, but that's all making
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: better toys. That's about them, you know, making managing it better.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Imagine but maybe but maybe making better but maybe making
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: better toys.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons they need to find. They
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: need to find a kid who wished to be big,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: and then that kid goes and he works at a
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: toy company because of his insight, because he's a kid.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: But magically, because of the Zoltar on the pier, he
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: can give them insights that they couldn't get elsewhere. Very well,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: little adult woman, which was really creepy. But anyways, Okay.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: That was creepy when you think about it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, don't go back.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: It was cute at the time, but now that you
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: can think about it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, little weird.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Oh all clear. So Magic Mountain getting ready to open
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: for business yesterday when somebody called in a bomb threat,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: so they said, yep, not opening, called in the sheriff's departments,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: did sweeps a couple hours. It took them to make
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: sure that there was nothing there, determined there was no threat,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: and then the park reopened. But it had to open,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: you know a few hours late, so fewer rides for
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: the guests.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Everything's okay, Yeah, I'm not a big Magic Mountain fan.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: So you know, I don't I have to take it
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: to Magic Mountain now, Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: You know, it's It's just not one of my favorite places.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I remember there used to be a lot of gang
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: bangers at Magic Mountain. Not so much anymore. I'm a
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: security gang gang, gang bangers. Gang bangers, yeah, gang bangers,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: gang ganger bangers.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: The roller coasters are just too big and scary for me.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: They are very scary. Last time Bill, I was at
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Magic Mountain, was with you when the Superman ride opened,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: and that's right together, that's right.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And then they renamed it too, it was the Vomitron,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: and I thought that was absolutely appropriate.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're done. Guys coming up.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when you were in third or fourth
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: grade and whoever won the presidency of the grade always

  Speaker 2: promised to free pizza on Fridays. Well, that's exactly what's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: going on now with the governor's race. Free pizza for
• 27:42
