  Speaker 2: she's going to have one soon, and I was telling
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: her that it's no big deal. She's going to die
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and they're going to puncture her intestines and she's probably
• 1:31

  Speaker 4: I know somebody who sort of woke up during that, yeah, procedure,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: and it was not pleasant.

  Speaker 3: Good Morning.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I've actually had a few people call me, by the way,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Cono who missed the deadline for the go fundme page,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and they go, can we still donate to uh the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: campaign to get Cono's car, and I said absolutely, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I gave them my Zell number.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: And so thank you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Con i'n have a few I'm gonna have Yeah, I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: gonna have a few dinners on you. Uh Neil, good morning,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: good morning Wolf all right, and then I am the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: rest of the crowd, good morning, good morning. We're not
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: going to talk a whole lot today about what's going
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: on in Minneapolis. The White House is peddling a little
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: bit backwards, not a lot, but I'll mention it. The
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: only thing I do want to mention. I was thinking
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: about this yesterday and I'm certainly not defending the administration,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but in a couple of instances, especially Trump had a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: good point. Now, Cash Battel said that Alex Pretty was
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: not allowed to have a gun. That's not true. I mean,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Patel doesn't understand the law. I mean, Pretty had a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: permit to carry a gun because Minnesota is an open,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: open gun in law, open state, and you can carry
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: one as long as people can see it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So he was dead wrong on that and Second Amendment.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Folks are really going nuts in terms of what the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: administration said, particularly Cash Patel. The President said something and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about that for a couple of days.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He should not have brought a gun to the demonstration.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, you know, not that it was not
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: legal for him to do so. But I have a question,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: knowing how crazy ICE agents are, knowing how the devastation
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that they cause, and how anxious they are to arrest
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: people and to beat them up and to be wild
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: West cowboys, why would you ever bring a gun to
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a demonstration?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I doly gets except that you really think now listen,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know their process for picking and I'm not impressed,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and I think nooams should walk, and I think they
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: should cease these detainments for now. But you're really going
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to lead with you think that they all want to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: come out there like cowboys. No, but enough of them,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: enough of them? Do enough of them? Do? Are they?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Are they shooting? But they'll tell you one thing, so
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: called peaceful protesters.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: No, But I'll tell you what they are doing is
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: every time that or many times, we're not seeing one
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: or two ICE agents that bring down someone or rest someone,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it's dozens.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I say, did it start that way? Or is that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: because so peaceful protests are?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: In my giviting, I don't know. I don't know the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: answer to that, but I will tell you from what
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we've said. Listen, she needs to go, they need to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: stop the No, that's a given.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's a given. I'm not arguing that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Going back to the point knowing even believing that, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: mean not going into the nuances, not going into the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: minutia here, Neil, knowing what's going on, why would anybody
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: bring a weapon to it? Agree?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think these protesters are for
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the vast majority that are getting involved and getting too
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: close to the creek and then slipping in and being harmed.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're any different than the wing nuts
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that went on January sixth to the Capitol. I don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: they both thought. They both have their mindset that democracy
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: is being impeded and they're going to fight for it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I see the January sixth people more at more at fault.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I just wanted to read that they both
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: see a nobility. Understand Neil. Okay, Let's let's start with Neil,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You're wrong, okay, are you?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Uh? Let's let's start with on the news that I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: understand that. Let's start with a handle on the news
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: with Amy Neil and me lead story by the president
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: signed another executive board resigns a lot of these I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: means absolutely nothing U and UH this is taking over
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the wildfire rebuilding here in the south land in La
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: pasif says, and eating fire eating canyon fire.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: UH.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And this is titled addressing state and local failures to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: rebuild l A Los Angeles after the wild file fire
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: disasters and so one uh it UH tries to bypass
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: city and county building regulations.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Two at all UH an audit of three billion.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Dollars in federal hazard mitigation efforts that that they can do.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But the bottom line is what Trump is saying is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: will the federal government, meaning I will take over the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: local building process and the local zoning laws.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: That's up to me. And he can't. He can't, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: yet he does.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And then the argument is is he doing this to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: distract from what's going on in Minneapolis.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's just a far reaching president who just says I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: want to be king of the world and I'm going
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to do everything I possibly can.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Don't you think he's a he's a builder who's looking
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: at a year later with nothing not nothing being done,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: but a process. It's stalled out, and a lot of
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: frustrated people saying I want to help.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I understand, but you don't do that by saying the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: federal government will take over the local building process. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: don't like the speed limit in certain rows in California,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: so I it was local speed limits, so I will
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: take over that part of the government. I don't like
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the way local fired upartments are working. I will take
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that over you. You don't do that. He is not
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: king of the world. And we're going to talk more
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: about that at seven o'clock because of course there's more
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to it than just those of us who are involved babbling.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Not me, but Amy and the rest of the Morning crew.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Pressure is mounting to get rid of Christy, which we
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: were just talking about, and Neil is all for it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Top House Democrats have told President Trump to fire Christy
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Nome or they will launch impeachment proceedings against the Homeland
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Security secretary. Of course, it's all tied to the killing
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of Alex Pretty and again the shooting of Rene Good
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: earlier in the month.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: She's not gonna she will not be fired, and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: impeachment's going to go no place.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: No Republican is going to go against the president.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Two Republican senators, yeah, maybe they.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Were just about to clear Yeah, but those that are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: either retiring that they can't do much to it. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: then Lisa Murkowski, who is more of a Democrat than
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: she is a Republican h in her seat is about
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: as safe as you can get. The point is the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: President is not going to to cave in to pressure
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: like that, and he said Christine Dome met with him
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: yesterday for a couple of hours and coming out she
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: has my full confidence.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: There's no way, there is no way been in that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: position to begin She is not a qualification, are you kidding?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go down. The list of people who
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: are not qualified for their position is filled with people
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: that aren't qualified. Absolutely, absolutely, And my biggest fear is
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: that he can't take a knee on anything. No, no
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: way say firing her is like saying he's wrong, right,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: that's true unless she does, unless she does something against him.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And it's unfortunate because she needs to go. She's over
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: her head, well she.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Has any other in any other administration, she she'd be
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: gone in about two seconds.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: The White House isn't even walking back.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But she said about Preddy being a domestic terrorist who
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: attacked immigration officials, officers, tried to kill them, try to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: create a mass a massacre, taking out as many as
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: she as you possibly could. And there's all the video
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: which contradicts everything.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: That she said.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: She hasn't come back and said I'm wrong. The administration
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: hasn't come back and said she's wrong. Now, Trump was asked,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: do you believe that Preddy was a domestic terrorist? And
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: all he said was no, I don't think that's true.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Boom finished, done, and so nothing's gonna happen. Nothing's gonna
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: happen other than Borovino.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I had that right.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Borgovino is out and Tom Homan is in. And that's
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: basically it. The other thing I was mentioning to yesterday
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: is you will see nothing happening to those two agents
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that killed Preddy. Nothing is going to happen to them.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: They're still out there working, They're no longer in Minneapolis.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: What we understand, and I tell you, and maybe I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: went a little bit crazy, not only is nothing gonna happen,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: there'll be a commendation somewhere. I know you're shaking your head, Amy,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I'm making a point I'm making a point here is
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that I'm making I'm making a point.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's fun watching you. It's fun watching you augur
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: your brain after thirty years of radio. Yes, that's true.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Don't look at the man behind the curtains. It's been
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a month. Congress imposed a deadline for the Department of
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Justice to release the files on Jeffrey Epstein, and they've
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: all come out. Wait what, Nope, they haven't. They said
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: that they're making some they're making some substantial progress, so
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: says the DJ near. So many I mean upwards of
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: millions of documents and photographs, but they haven't been released.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's going to you forget TikTok TikTok.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: No timeline, at least say we're going to do I
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: don't know, fifty thousand or one hundred thousand every month
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: until we can get these out. Because there's so many
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: something mic'soft, Sir.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I wonder if this is going to go away because
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: there's so many things happening on. It's certainly a back
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: burner compared to what it was. There's so many things
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: going on that it's one story after another story after
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: another story. Well, it's certainly not going to be to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the extent that it was. I mean, it's not that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: hot a potato anymore. There's an analogy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that. I think people still want
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: to know. I think they do, but I don't think
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: their demand is the way it was before.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Disaster. Maybe looming at the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Very scary
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: stuff came out of the National Transportation Safety Board hearing yesterday.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: The head of the NTSB said that Bourbank could be
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: next for a mid air collision, specifically saying Burbank out
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: of all the airports in the US. She said that
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the conditions are similar. You know that the midair collision
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: between the helicopter and the American Airlines jet over DC.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Conditions at Burbank are similar. And she said that one
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: commercial airline had called her to say, the next midair
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: is going to be Burbank, and nobody at FAA is
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: paying attention to us.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do that story at seven twenty. Look
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Not anymore. Well, I'll tell you it's still easier to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: get in and out of that place.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, oh, it's it's a great airport. Not if
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you have planes falling out of the sky and hitting
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: each other. But it is a great airport. And this
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: is the first I've heard of this. I love flying
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: out of flying out of Hollywood Burbank.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: All right, people keep turning up the heat with their
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: political views. A man lunges at Representative Omar during a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: town hall and apparently sprayed her with some substance, although
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: we don't know what it is, yelling you must resign,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and then security guards rightly so dropped on the person,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and someone's like, get checked, and she says, no, that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: what they want. We will continue. She said, these fing
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: a holes are not going to get away with this,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and then she was comforted by her husband brother. No,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. I don't know. Did you marry your brother?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is the crowd that marries their brother.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I think I thought she No, No, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: don't think so. Okay, let's spot check that husband, husband brother.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Did you on Omar cousin?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was cousin she married her brother.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what that's what there is talk about that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know that that's ever been substantiated.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: But I'm pretty sure her husband brother didn't comfort her.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I added that, Wow, I didn't even hear about her
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: husband brother.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You haven't heard about her husband brother.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I have not heard about her husband brother.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I'll send you a link.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have not heard about her husband brother.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And this comes directly from Reuter's or BBC or is
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: it some crazy ass story that's on the internet.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: You're gonna love this. I see a headline on Tucker
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Carlson dot com.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: It didn't happen. It's what I'm saying now. Okay, time
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: for one more.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, two ICE agents we're involved. Of course, the big
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: story is what's going on in Minneapolis, and the thirty
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: seven year old was shot in killed over the weekend
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: during an altercation with ICE agents Alex Pretty And A
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: report from the Department of Homeland Security says that two
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: officers did fire their guns during the encounter with Pretty.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: An officer had yelled he's got a gun multiple times
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: before they fired on him as they struggled with him
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: on the ground. The report doesn't specify whether bullets from
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: both law enforcement officials hit Preddy, but just the two
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: did fire.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: A couple questions here We talked about this this morning.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Where as even though Alex pretty did have a permit
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and was carrying the gun legally, there was no issue
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: about that. Just why would you take a weapon to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a demonstration, particularly with ICE agents running around knowing what
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: they do, And wouldn't they.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Yell he's got a gun. If they saw somebody holding.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: You would think gone.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Or if the gun well, we don't know where the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: gun was and a waistband and a holster.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: We have not heard it, but it wasn't yell, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: it was regardless.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, I'm not arguing it's not legal. It's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: a question of what happened and when did the cops
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: stream that he has a gun? And was it after
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: one of the officers took the gun out of his
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: holster or out of his waistband and was walking away.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: We see the video and then the shots happened.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Uh, but yeah, we do.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, this Department Homeland Security is doing the investigation
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and we're going to see a lot of that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And then the other question is and a point I
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: want to make anytime there was a shooting of any
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: kind where a police officer is involved and someone's injured,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: someone killed. They immediately take those officers off the front line,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: put them an administrative duty, instantly saying you are off
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the streets.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: We have not heard that, Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: We have not heard that here. All we have heard
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: is that this. These officers are no longer in Minneapolis.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: That's all we've heard. So I gotta tell you this thing.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: They're not trained at all. I mean, I don't know
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: whether these guys, but forty seven days is what I understand,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of these ICE agents have gone through, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much psychological examination they've gone through.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: They should look like a holes to me. I mean
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: they look like that, you know, the beatings that take place.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And granted that may be very unusual because that's the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: video that comes out. We don't see video where an
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: ICE agent is respectful and tebles Wheber please turn your back.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I'm arresting you. Yes, let's keep calling. But you don't
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: see those videos. You see the other ones.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and tap that keg chup, keg oh, ketch up,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: cake ketchup. So listen to this, you'd think that, you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: people are thinking, hey, the big game's going, let's go
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: ahead and keep that beer flowing. Well, that's not what
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: heinz keg Chup wants from you this night. Ten point
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: five inch dispenser that holds one hundred and fourteen ounces
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: of its signature ketchup. How much this keg's designed to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: eliminate empty bottles at football parties? How much it looks
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: like a small keg of beer? You know those five
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: gallon kegs of beer? How much can you use? I
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: won it from my Kegchup? I guess. Yeah, so this
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: is their you know, it's getting us talking about them
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: before the big game. But I use their ketchup. I'll
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: get a cake of it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Well you can't, though, because you can only win it
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: No, I'll make one. Oh, you can make it, so
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So what they're doing is it's just a cheap plug
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that we're giving them, and they're doing just this just
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: for pooblicity's purposes, which we fell right into that hole.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Didn't win indeed, yep.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: But they do say that they're going to have a
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: limited edition release in time for the twenty twenty six
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: football season.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so there's only a year change before we
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: do that, fair enough?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Uh, the mansion tax may need some reimagining, but
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: it's stalled out right now. So the city council was
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: looking at whether they wanted to make some changes to
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: the mansion tax and put it back on the ballot again.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Of course, the mansion tax charges a four percent for
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: five million dollars.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Or now four percent over ten million dollars two million,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: from five to ten million dollars.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Two percent.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's two percent of okay, so it's a percentage then,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: But they're seeing that the number.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe it is four percent, maybe it's maybe it's eight percent.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It's not eight percent, No, maybe it's four percent. It
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: was four percent for five million and five percent for
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ten million.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's three point eight percent. Okay, it could be.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Are you going to get nailed bill? Uh huh.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Anyway, building is down like twenty seven percent, and because
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: even though it's supposed to be a mansion tax, it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: applying to new construction of apartment buildings like you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: multi family buildings and commercial buildings. So they want to
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: put that on the ballot and exempt things like multi
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: family structures.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Let's figure out another way of making money taxing people
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: so they don't build and they don't do businesses.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Other California.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: This mansion tax has come back to bite them in
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: the rear end big time. But you know it raises money, Well,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: so does one hundred percent tax anything over ten thousand
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: dollars a year. Now, what can I tell you one
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: of the reasons I didn't vote for al Gore. You
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: remember when he talked about he looked right at the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: camera and said, you people have to pay your fair
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: share of taxes. That's anybody who makes more than four
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. And he was looking right at
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: me and saying, fair share of taxes.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, leave me alone. California is just going to beat
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the crap out of you. If you have a job,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: that's basically it. Yeah. And if you want a small business,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: good night, Irene. They're going to take a metal pipe
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: to your head. All right. So after the horrific shootings
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: there in Minneapolis, California moves forward. I'm not sure how
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: that's going to help. With a bill allowing lawsuits against
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: federal agents. They used to say, you can't fight city hall.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Why can't we fight city hall bill? Well, this isn't
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: city hall, this is a hall by hoping you to
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: fight the feds. Yeah, but why can't we sue the government.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: We can sue the government when the government allows us
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to sue the government. That's the point, because it's sovereign,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and the sovereignty controls everything. You can't go against sovereign
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: unless it allows to. And then there's a whole bunch
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of rules, for example, proprietary versus governmental purposes. Here's an example.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You're suing the government for a decision that it makes.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Let's say the FAA for decision over airports. You can't
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: sue them for that. You can't sue an air traffic
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: controller for blowing it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And you sue them for not using the taxes towards
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: what they said they were going to. No, no, you can't.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: However, proprietary, for example, a governmental parking lot. The government
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: allows you to sue for negligence on that one, because
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: that's not a governmental activity running a parking lot.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: It's there are various levels.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That, but the bottom line you cannot sue the government
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: unless the government allows itself to be sued, and that
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: is the FED.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: So this one, I don't know where it's going. It's
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: like it's like being right on this show. We're not
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: allowed to be right. If you say we're not right.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: We don't have a problem with that situation, do we
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: being right on this show?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: That's never been an issue. No, bister, handle those correct.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: We're growing, but slowing. California's population was flat from July
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four to July of twenty twenty five. US
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Census Bureau data was just released shows that the US's
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: population grew by a half percent about one point eight
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: million people, which is a lot lower than the previous year,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: when it was up by three point two million people.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Experts say the stagnation is largely because of low levels
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: of migration to the US from other countries. Of course,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: is the Trump administration has sought to curtail immigration and
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: also embarked on deportation efforts.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I was at a taco bell yesterday, empty, completely empty.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I was the only one there. I'm trying to say
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: it was empty during lunch. Right.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Usually it's jammed. Not a soul, not a soul. Every
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: time you roll your eyes about the taxes and all
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the garbage we have to deal with here in California,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: you see one of those blizzards and you go, I'm fine,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'm fine, I'll stay right that's a good point, all right.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: So US has told Ukraine this peace deal just has
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: to go through. So you have the United States telling
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Ukraine that it must sign this peace deal with Russia
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: in order to get the US security guarantees that we'd
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: all heard about. That's what's on the table. So those
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: are considered by Ukraine as the lynch pin in any
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: sort of settlement ending this Russia four year invasion of Ukraine.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, Russia has not moved its position, keeping
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the dawnbas keeping Eastern Ukraine, and Russia has already lost
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: what a million, million and a half men, and to
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the point where they're now giving prisoners a break and
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: paying bonuses and having North Korean soldiers.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And it's gotten.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: And this deal may take years in the making unless
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Russia caves.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, here's X trafficking targeted. So there's a new initiative
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: aimed at disrupting the sex trafficking business along Western Avenue.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: They also are aimed to support survivors and hold traffickers
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: and buyers accountables. According to local leaders, Korea Town and
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: the Greater Wilshire air are the areas that are being
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: targeted because they've long been identified as hubs of illegal activity,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: you know, And I've.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Driven along both of those and I've never noticed. Yeah,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of course, but I've never I've never known. I've never
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I've never noticed. Uh So, I guess you really have
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: to be in that world to notice.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: It and want to deal with it. Well. The prostitution,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: they are having problems with prostitution in Larchmont right now,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Large Mont. Yes, it is it Back in the day
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: of the old days at KFI, when we were in
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: k Town, we'd get off the air really late at
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: night and we go on who were tours Michelle Cube,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Tim Kelly, me Crozier. I think we'd go driving around
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: and woors were everywhere, and then it slowly disappeared, and
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: now they're coming back again.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You're seeing, well, I see, I stand correct. There's an
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: off ramp. I took Western Boulevard, you know, the Western
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: off ramp on the south one oh one, and there
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: was a gal you know, on the off ramp, big
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: sign will stoop for food, okay.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: And then when you pulled up it turntime. I'm not
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that hungry.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's turned not you know, it's been a Saturday night.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I'm doing okay, you know, Yeah.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I'll have a salad, the all Right News Food News Amazon.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: So these are interesting stores, the Amazon brick and mortars,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: but they're looking to close these fresh and ghost stores.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: They want to focus on delivery and I'll obviously they
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: own whole Foods as well, they're going to focus on that,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: but they just that physical grocery store. You remember they
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: did it without people.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the technology you'd walk in and you'd walk out
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and didn't just it's not working.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: It's not even with all that price points not working.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: So they're gonna change.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, Neil, I have a question because the Whole Foods
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: were ridiculously overpriced, I mean insanely overpriced, and now that
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Amazon bought them, is there a discernible difference.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Have prices dropped? There were some price drops when Amazon
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: first came along, but a lot of them are tied to,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: you know, proprietary connections like having a card or having
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Amazon Prime or these types of things that you got
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: perked for being in the Anna the Amazon kind of ecosystem.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: But they're still incredibly expensive. Yeah, I don't I don't
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: buy that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: There are stores which kind of need out there that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: sell used food and I'm a bit. I'm a big
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: fan really good prices. Okay, we're done so much, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: will stop that. There is an app called too Good
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: to Go by.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: The way and rest road restaurants. You can go on
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: there and look in your ear, I know, and they
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: and they should.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: And the problem is that there's so much food that
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: we throw away. We could feed all the hungry people
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: in this absolutely about four goes. Yeah, but there's no
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: there's no mechanism for actually moving them over there.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: For example, for example, restaurant food.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You think they would deliver what they is left at
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the end of the day to the nearest homeless shelter.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: They can't because of rules and regulations. The health department
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: puts up there like temperature, that sort of thing.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: So does Bruno do it?
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Then Bruno violates the law. Bruno is Bruno.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say this publicly, but Bruno straight
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: out violates law and he'd be in big trouble. How
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: he serves pasta and he cooks pasta and serves it immediately.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: And they have different kitchens and regulation, Yeah, they have
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: different kitchens. So yeah, taking it from the Anaheim White House, Yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you know, if it has to be kept in at
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: a certain.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, he keeps it to the proper temperature.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, he's in line. He's in line.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how he does it either.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, twenty five thousand meals a week, you figure
• 29:58
