  Speaker 1: A holiday Wednesday, and wow, fair amount is going on?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Anybody?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: See Pam Bondy yesterday appearing in front of the Senate,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the tucking smack ah man screaming at the senators every
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: time they a Democrat asked her a question.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: She screams back, I mean screams back.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: She wasn't streaming, she was screaming.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It was you talk about now in terms of people
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: appearing in front of the Senate, in front of the House,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and it is it used to be well on a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I would say quasi bad or a good level. People
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: were intimidated by you go in front of Congress and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: go in front of the committee.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: That is something really serious.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Now, now if it's a Republican committee, and you're a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Democrat or you're a pro Democrat, you scream right at him.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: You just throw it back, and it's the other way around.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I think both sides are doing lots of screaming. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: she did call Adam Schiff a failed lawyer and a liar.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, that's terrific. And uh, when and when
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it came to call me was brought up. Uh, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Tom Homan was brought up, who is headed Border Security?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And she was asked, why wasn't he prosecuted because the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: FBI allegedly has a videotape of him accepting fifty.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Thousand dollars in cash.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And she came back with, we investigated and there's nothing there.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: There is no case. However, let's talk about Komy. By
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the way, the Komy case is going to explode on them.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. You know, when you talk about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: weaponizing the just Department of Justice or any governmental, any
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: governmental energy or the irs, it doesn't matter. You're on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: their radar screen, you're in trouble because if the Justice
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Department or the DA goes after you, whether or not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you are guilty or innocent, it's going to break you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: It's going to break you. A defense.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Kmy's defense is going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if not more.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's being funded.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It probably is by some organization, but it's at least
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's getting entertaining. I mean, when's the last time you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: heard someone a witnessed scream at the center of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: congress person in the scream you are a liar, You're
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a failed attorney. I have this great stuff. I mean
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it just that's the way it's going these days. All right,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: A quick hello, Hello.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Amy, Hi Bill.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I always calls me on my exaggeration. I always say
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it's closer to screaming than not. But that's what's side
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: your point. Wearing the Dodger judgy. Oh, so, what happened
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with the game? I didn't pay attention.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Well, that's because there wasn't a game last night. The
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Dodgers played today. Game starts at six oh eight. They're
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: back at Dodger Stadium and leading the series two games
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: to none. So if they win today, they sweep and
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: go on to the championships. If they lose today, they
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: played game four tomorrow.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And you have tickets for that. I heard that, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Tickets for that, so it's I'm really in a quandrum.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Now did you buy the tickets for that? Yes?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So what do you do if the Dodgers win tonight?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Do you get to go to just an empty stadium
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and look at the grass?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: They do refund you. It takes about six months, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: they do refunded.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, how much were the tickets? Can I ask.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: For this one? I think there were? There are different
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: prices for different series, like why I think it was
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: like three fifty or four hundred for these.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Per ticket per game. Wow. And then you have Super
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Bowl tickets, for example.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Decent tickets, the three that are available thousands, tens of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're going for a lot more than that,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I would imagine, But we got them because we're season
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: ticket holders.
• 4:36

  Speaker 3: Ah, got it all right, So let's do that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I handle on the news with Amy Neil
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and me lead story. Well, let me start with Trump
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: news howe and highly unusual, uh the yesterday the President
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: floated the possibility that some of the furloughed workers, federal
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: workers are not going to get back pay. Now, the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: law says they do get back pay. And it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Trump who signed that law during his first term, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so what is that about?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: It goes we'll see, we'll see some.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: People don't deserve back pay, and of course they're going
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to get back pay unless he just decides I don't
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: care about the law at all. And but it may
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: go to court and you know he will lose on
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that one because the law is very clear. So I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's to pressure on the stopping of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this fight that's going on where the government is shut down,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: maybe to avert that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's some people getting pretty upset about it. And air
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: traffic controllers. Man, there's a story there. But let's go
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on and talk about pam Bondi yesterday.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Well, Pambondi was in the hot seat, and she was
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: firing off a lot of accusations and comments about the
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Democrats who were questioning our attorney general. Pambondi was in
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: a battle with the Democrats. Of course, like we were
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: talking about, the republic were all very nice to her.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: She said she took office with two main goals to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: end the weaponization of justice and return the Department to
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: its core mission of fighting violent crime, and the Democrats
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: one by one accused her of doing the exact opposite.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that is the accusation. You're stopping the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: weaponization by weaponizing. And when the senators asked, but when
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you go after targeted people, when the president tells you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to go after a person specifically, that's not a weaponization,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And she went right back saying, no, you were weaponizing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: We didn't, Are you a liar?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, just on and on and on, and she deferred,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it deflected everything.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: And then Republicans would grill her.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what Ted Cruz said to her, You know, we
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: thank you for upholding America and bringing America back the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice to where it should be, and that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is dealing with the law because the pre this administration
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: did not it was weaponization.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It is crazy, horrible, it is crazy. It's crazy. It's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: all crazy. It's all crazy.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: The difference is that there is establishing a new procedure,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: which there will be no procedures. These hearings, these congressional
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: incentive hearings, are simply going to be accusations. And then
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: who's ever on the hot seat screaming right back?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just say, they keep the octagon. Once
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it's there on the South Lawn, they keep it. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that's where we'll hold these congressional sessions.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, one more and then we'll take our break.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: You got it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: US air traffic control, as you heard Bill just saying,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: highly problematic during the governmental shut down, you now have.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: More than three.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Thousand flights being delayed. And these are widening number of airports.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You've got Houston, Nashville, Dallas, Chicago, O'Hare, newer, these are
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we had our very own Hollywood Bob Hope
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Urbank Airport, and this is going to be one of
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the impacts we're going to see. Even though you know
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: there's a lot more going on, these are ones that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: we can see immediately.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Well, yesterday was that for six hours there was no
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: one in the control tower because they didn't have staff.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I mean it was empty, and there was still control
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: There were still a quasi control tower out of San
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Diego because there are some redundant systems. But you're going
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to say, now they're starting to call in sick, and it's.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: You're told you're not going to get paid, and it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like one of the worst jobs in the world stress wise.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you show up, you barely show up here. Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: isn't that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, And and they don't give me back pay.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I get paid, you get paid.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You imagine you as an air traffic controller. It's like
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: you're coming back from microwaving your fintadas and there's three
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: planes crashing and.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I had to go to the bathroom.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. So what's wrong with that you do
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: for Tata?
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: If I'm putting a little bit, I would do it
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: in that tone of voice. Froz's not.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I don't do it in an apologetic tone of voice
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and go, hey, I'm having a fortata.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: You got the show's gotten in my way. Enough of that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: A whole lot of Latinos are living in the USA
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: for the first time in American history, one in five
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: people in the US identifies as Latino. The twenty twenty
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: four US Census Bureau shows that that was an increase
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of two million persons compared to population estimates from twenty
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: twenty three, and altogether, researchers believe the Latino population in
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the US is now over sixty eight MILLIONO.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: The demographics, At what point I think they're on the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: way to becoming the majority of Americans those that identify
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: as Latino. Is there any information on that, because I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: think they're on the way to do that. I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the population are of growth is very very well la
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of course southern California. It's ridiculous in terms of the numbers,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: but a lot of concentration here. But in general, I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: think they're on their way to becoming the majority group
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of people in.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: The United States.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: That information is not included in the census report.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Well there you go. Okay, moving on.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: We do like the sexy time, and a lot of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: us are Catholics, so no condoms AnyWho.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, Well, I'm just saying, so you you practice
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: saying that you let two of us in.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: One's a boy, one's a girl.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a population bubble, not.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Necessarily, because if you're successful at practicing Vatican Roulette, then
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you do well rhythm.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: That's the rhythm method method.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: That's why God invented basil temperature thermometers.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And just look that up.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You know what, This is a perfect take away from
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: your mouth to trash fees going up, and.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't we do that?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was not trash, by the way, that was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a legitimate Okay.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Moving on to Salialist City Council.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Just yesterday they were increasing the trash collection fees.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: They voted on this.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It is going to go up to fifty five ninety
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: five a month per unit. But I mean, any hike sucks.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: But it's been like seventeen years. These people bust their humps.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: You ever see those drivers coming and dealing with our
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: refuse and yeah, they.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Don't get out of their trucks anymore.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Sometow they have those those automatic machines, those grippers that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the same company that makes those things at check that's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: where you go and you grabble the toys, same company
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that does that, just sideways and much bigger.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It's not this stupid stuff that we do. This is
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: uh no, but the money real work.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: This is double in some cases. I mean, this is
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of money.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but this is what it comes down to.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: First of all, the trash program has been subized big
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: time by LA to the tune of about half a
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: million dollars a day. Our budget is going spiraling out
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of control, and we got to pay for it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: You know what's funny.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: They talk about affordable housing, and nobody ever says about
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: property tax and the cost of utilities and everything. How
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: about those being affordable as well, because we're used.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: To those that's already those are already baked in because
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: we know they're going up.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: If they're going to go up, I don't mind that
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: it's the track, and.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I pay for my trash.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: It's a private trash collector because I mean, you know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: one of these gated communities, so the city doesn't touch it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: But we're charged per can, per bin, and if you
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: an extra bin, there's an extra twenty twenty five dollars
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: or whatever they charge you a month.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's really expensive. Some politics.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: It comes Comy. Former FBI director James Comy is going
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: to be arraigned today. He'll fear appear before a federal
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: judge in l Lexandria, Virginia. The charges against him are
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: for providing false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. It
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: stems from Comy's congressional testimony back in twenty twenty, where
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: prosecutors claim he lied about his knowledge of a leak
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: of classified information that was later reported by several news outlets.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: He had testified that, in his words, he had not
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: authorized someone else to be an anonymous source in news reports.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Actually that wasn't Comy that said that. That was the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: prosecutors who said that. They said that statement was false.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see from what I understand the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: reporting is. It's pretty flimsy the accusation. I think it's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: based on one person, a deputy of his, saying yes
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he did know, and Comy says no, he didn't. Based
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: on that Comy's lying, and he's being brought in front
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of a federal court.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Why would you even bring those charges if it's.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Flimsy, because it is a political trial. Because it doesn't matter.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Said earlier, it doesn't matter if you're weaponizing the Department
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of Justice, any side that does that. So if you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: throw something up, you know you're gonna lose and what
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: do you care because you've just broken that other person,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You've wiped out life savings because it has to be defended.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: That's a win. That's also just dragging their name. I
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: don't you know what, I don't know.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of people, uh, you know, would think
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it's a badge of honor. And a lot of people
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: on Nixon's list, for example, his enemies list. You know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the IRS went after people during Nixon days and it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was horrific. And if you've ever and they go through
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it with a fine tooth comb, and they can make
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: your life so miserable. And it's just that the government
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: has the ability to do that when the government decides
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that they're going to use their own governmental power to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: go after people for political reasons. Uh, it's it's devastating
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: for those people. Not only is it it's it's it
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: tarnishes the administration. But you know, I mean call me.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: They almost didn't get out of the grand jury. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: it's impossible not to get out of the grand juror
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: enough jurors said no, there's nothing here. They got it,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: but it was close. Usually it's unanimous. Getting a grand
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: jury indictment is the easiest thing in the world. There
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is no bar to it. No one defends you. You're
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: not in there. It's just the prosecutor goes, hey, this
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: is what we think we have. Okay, indictment. Almost half
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: of the grand jurors in this case said there's nothing there,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but they're going to go forward anyway.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: There's probably gonna be a motion to dismiss and we'll
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: see what happens with that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: All right, we talked about this yesterday.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Trump cracked the door open about healthcare discussions, but then.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Shut it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not talking, but now I'll talk, but only
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: if the Democrats cave big surprise. We'll see how far
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: this goes, because we're now into are we into our
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: second week already?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I think we are.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: It's day eight, Yeah, second week of the shutdown, so
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it's longer than most. A lot of shutdowns happened. You know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they won two days and that's it, and so there
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have been some two weeks shutdowns. The big one was
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: thirty five days during Trump's first term. Right now, the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Republicans are getting more blamed for this than the Democrats.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So politically speaking, this is not good news for the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans because they get hit with blame. Interesting enough, they're
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the ones that won the continuing Resolution. They're saying, hey,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: just get the government going and then we'll talk about
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: everything else, and the Democrats are saying no, and the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Republicans getting blamed for it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Earthquake news, Well.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I have one big quake when you could have two.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: So there's a groundbreaking news study that was published recently
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: in the journal Geosphere, and it says that for thousands
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: of years, large earthquakes on the Cascadia Subduction Zone were
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: quickly followed by large earthquakes on the northern San Andreas Fault.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Of course, then San Andreas is in California. The Cascadia
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Subduction is offshore. California is northern coast and runs up
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: a lot with Washington and Oregon and into British Columbia.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a huge story here.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do this at seven o'clock because it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: something we probably didn't even know that we actually have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a series of Bogo faults in California.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Buy one, get one, all right, we can move on
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: if you want.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: No, I'd like to sit in this awkwardness.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Aye, Hey, so you should you shouldn't you shouldn't you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: should City of LA said it's going to appeal recent
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: court orders that says our a recent court order rather
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that prevents the LAPD officers from targeting members of the
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: press with crowd control weapons. So I know this sounds
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a little strange, but what you had.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: What you had was.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Pushback during some of the Trump protests with using the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: so called less than lethal rounds and things like that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And now Los Angeles is looking at that saying, well,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they have to be able to do something for crowd control.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: This is LA and the Department of Homeland Security together together,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: they're taking the same side. Yeah, I'm saying, you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and true, how do you differentiate when you have a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: crowd going? You have to use crowd control and all
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of a sudden're supposed to see who is a reporter
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: who is.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Not a reporter.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: And on top of that, bill it's not like the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: old days when reporters were reporters. I mean, you have
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: they have all of their press IDs, You've got citizen journalisms,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: you know, digital press, You've got all these different and
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: it's them. You can't recognize every you know, mic flag
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: in the same way.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Otherwise just people to come out with mic flags.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And there is no there is no legal definition of reporter.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: There's no licensing.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: You're a reporter, sure, so you gotta side with the cops.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Amy, you have a reporter's license, right, Okay.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: What do you mean a reporter's license.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point I'm making. There's a you can't
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: tell who a reporter is. To your point, everybody can
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: call themselves a reporter. There's no licensing, there is no
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: legal definition that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: If you are this, then you are that, then you
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: are a reporter. No one knows.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: You can be like recognized by official agencies.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but what official agency? The AP?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Well, how about the National Association of the Digital Reporters
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that you just create? Well, no law enforcement, law enforcement,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I understand, Yeah, launch understood. Right in the meantime, absolutely,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and you can go into places where the public is
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: not allowed to go, absolutely in the meantime in order
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this story about telling who is a reporter who isn't.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So you have that little name tag thing, a little lanyard,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and you've got a crowd going crazy in front of you. Well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and the sea and the Homeland Security are right, how
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: do you tell so We're going to use the same
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the same force, and we just if they get caught
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: up in the if you get basically caught in the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: same net, there's not much we can do now. The
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: issue of them using artillery to stop the demonstrations, that's
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a different issue at some point.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Moving on, chicken for every pot and a refrigerator for
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: every apartment. Governor Newsom has signed Assembly Bill six twenty
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: eight into law that requires the landlords to have refrigerators
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: and a working stove in their rentals. Apparently you don't
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: have to have that now. I do remember that when
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I first moved here, going to apartments and going where's
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: the fridge? And they didn't have to supply them. But
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: that's changed.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Isn't that weird? I mean, you think about this.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: People moving in apartments and have less money obviously than
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: people that are blind homes. And you go from an
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: apartment to an apartment, do you bring your own refrigerator
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: with you? It's I mean, it makes it makes no
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: sense not to have that, and it's I view this
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: as a loophole. I mean, if you're renting an apartment,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: you have to produce a fridge and a stove.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Can you? How can you not?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: But the loss is heating hot and cold water is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: basically it weather proofing, and that's it. They don't have
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to give you. I don't even know if they have
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to give you a stove at this point.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Well they do starting on January first, twenty ten, which is.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: And a refrigerator.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I've never gone into a place didn't have a stove,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: but I haven't gone into them without refrigerators.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, I think practically speaking, but I don't
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: know if the stove is required under law, it certainly,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. But refrigerators. People don't take refrigerators
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: with them. Of fact, most rentals, most rentals have washer dryers.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Now you know, that's just part and parcel of it. Also,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: people put it in and they leave, and you know
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: not how many people take washer dryers and refrigerators with them.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: It's a pain. It's not easy, all right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Santa Catalina Island, if you remember they dealt with this,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know last year or year before.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Something.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: The mule deer they're back and they're problematic. You've got
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: like over I don't know, twenty one hundred of these deer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: They are not indigenous, so they cause problems and they
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: need to get rid of them. And if you remember,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: people freaked out that they were killing them by rifles
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: or whatever from how about airborne from helicopters? And now
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: they said, okay, well we've got to still do it,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: so we'll do it from professional contractors that would shoot
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: them on the ground.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: What difference does it make.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: That's the whole point to me.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: We're going to kill them.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to kill them, and they're eating and it
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: makes sense to get rid of them because they're eating
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: native plant that native yeah, which causes what well, what
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: ends up happening is they're invasive plants that that they're
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: eating the natural plants that are indigenous and then and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: then the non native plants come in take over those
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: burn up. I mean, it's horrible. So you kill the deer.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, deer are really just big rats. You
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: know that they eat everything. I had them in my
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: backyard and you couldn't kill them, and you couldn't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: It was horrible.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So anyways, they're gonna get rid of them, and they should,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and then you have, oh.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: It actually protect protect them from wildfires because or protect
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the island from wildfires, which is because again.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You've got you've got the non native, the invasive plant
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: life coming in and taking over, and the plant life
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and non native stuff burns very quickly and easily.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly it. Amy. You were going to say,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: what are.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: They going to do with all these dead deer?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Are theynison? Well?
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Are they going to use it? Or are they going to
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: throw them away? Because I think that two thousand dead
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: deer could go and help feed a lot of animals, news,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: it could go to feed people, fertilizer, It could be
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: done for a lot of things. If they're just going
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: to discard them, I'm totally against it. I think that good.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: How do they use it? How do they use it?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: You know you have to.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: You just can't take a pile of dead deer and
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: then throw them someplace and they go here, you take
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: care of them in a slaughterhouse. I mean, it's all
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: regulated that. No, under the law, you couldn't, Amy, You
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: really couldn't.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: You.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: You could take them.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: To the Alpine Zoo and Big Bear. They have all
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: kinds of what are they going to do with that?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: What are they going to do with two thousand dead deer?
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: They could stacks.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Deer at the Alpine Zoo. I'd go see it. I'd
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: like to see a stack of two thousand dead deer.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I pay money for that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I just think throwing them away is wasteful.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: It is, but you still have no choice, at least
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, here's some news, good news from the Amy Neils
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: School of Disney.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, the spendiest place on Earth. Not really well doesny
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: World and Disneyland are going to be raising prices on
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: various tickets and annual prices effective annual passes, effective immediately.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: But it's not raising prices on absolutely everything. So if
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: you go on non peak days, you can still get
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: the tickets for the same price, But the peak days
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: and passes are what's going up.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so early November, early December, in the middle of
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a snowstorm, you'll probably get pretty decent prices.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: But why would you want to go on the peak
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: day anyways.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that. Yeah, I don't understand that at all. Yeah,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I've shared this story. I've shared this story with you
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: before when I was a lot younger, in my twenties, thirties,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: maybe March February, March midweek, going to the park. There
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: are five thousand people in the park. You wouldn't wait
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: for anything.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I was in the park yesterday and it was nothing.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: It was the easy peas of getting around everywhere, all right,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Dolly part and sister speaking out free to Parton, pardon
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of people may or may not
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: know this, but she's got eleven total siblings. Man, that's all.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: That's that's bigger than a small Mexican family. So she's
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: got her sister. Free to Parton, who said, pray for
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: her sister. She's up all night praying for her. Dolly
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: has some unknown ailment right now that made her postpone
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: her upcoming Las Vegas residency.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: That is not a good sign.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: She's seventy nine years old.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: That's not a good sign. That we don't know what
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: she has. We know that she is, we don't know
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: where she is. And her sister says, pray for her.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you when when Dolly Parton dies, which
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of course you will at some point, hopefully not soon.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It's that's going to be a loss where she is.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: She is a national she is a national treasure.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I've seen her speak before and she's very powerful and compelling,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and she seems very lovely and kind. But she even
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: joked about it. She said that she had several procedures
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: needing to be done, and she joked they were all
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: part of her one hundred thousand mile checkup.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: So she's in good spirits.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: It's very funny. She's very self deprecating. She's brilliant songwriter
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and performer, and everybody loves her.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I love her line about you know it costs a
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: lot of money to look this cheap.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: It is a great line.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: How do you beat that? You really don't.
• 30:31
