• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You're a real pro. I wanted Amy to be here
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: today so I could discuss the fact that the Toronto
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays were playing Los Angeles high school football, I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: mean baseball. Uh, I actually watched the game you did.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: This is a this is a World Series team, the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: LA Dodgers. Now they're playing they were playing little league
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: level that it was just horrific, not.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: A good run for them, and the last couple of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: games they sucked at this rate.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Man, it is over.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: God, I can't believe I'm doing sports talk sports show.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that you have the.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Last time I haven't been well, I'm not this excited,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: but I'm now I'm going to date myself. The last
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: time I was truly insanely excited about baseball and guess
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: how old I was. Because it was the LA Dodgers.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax was pitching for them, you had who was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: out there was Duke Snyder playing, I think so. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you had Maury Wills. I mean I still remember the name.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And I remember in science class we were doing science
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and a runner that worked for the administration every few
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: minutes would run into the room and hand the teacher
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: or note as to what happened in the previous few minutes.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Sandy Kofax was there. Incidentally, did you see
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: those the video of him? He's eighty nine years old
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and looks great for a I mean, he looks old,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: but he's eighty nine.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: If I look that old at eighty nine, it looked
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like he was very depressed. Close I look eighty nine.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Here's the question though, right, say the Blue Jays win,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: do they go to the White House?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Why not?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I think they get invited? I don't know, surely get invited.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Now, the point is, if I were part of the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, I would send my envoy secretly, like they
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cut deals, sending envoys to China and various other countries
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and sort of cut little deals. This is what we're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: going to talk about. And I think that's the case. Either,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think the secret envoy goes to the Blue Jays
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, if the President invites you, are you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: guys going to come to the White House because he's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: been embarrassed too many times. Yeah, with teams just going no,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: thank you, not interesting.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Do they go to Buckingham Palace? They could?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: They could, and then the queen would the king. At
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this point we have a dead queen. The King would
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: go what's the baseball? And it would work out just fine.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They're gonna make him say sorry before they go sorry. A.
• 6:12

• 8:48
  Speaker 1: president of China, and it was a summit. It was

  Speaker 1: in South Korea, and it looks like a deal was cut.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Troofts against China were lowered, their terrorists against US were lowered,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and soybeans are now will be purchased by China from

• 9:10
  Speaker 1: where China had really controlled those still do.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: They have ninety percent of the world market.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And of course, as always, the various countries that Trump
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: goes to put on a biggest show, they flatter him
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like you can't believe. So he was in Malaysia, Japan,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: South Korea. South Korea was a big one. The South
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Korean government showered him with gifts, a golf putter, a bag,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a replica of that historical golden crown because they actually
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: thought he'd be wearing it in the White House. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he got South Korea's highest civilian honor.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And I will not make that joke. Okay, moving on,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: moving on. It is called okay, alright.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I wanted to let you make it, though I wanted
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to give you time to make it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I felt like if you needed to say it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Federal interest Federal interest rates have been cut by a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: quarter percentage point for the second consecutive the second time
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: this year. They're hoping to steady the economy after the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: weakening labor market and government shutdown has been causing some
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: trouble over the last several months. It went from three
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: it's in the range now, part of me of three seven,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: five to four percent.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: That is the lowest level in about three years.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched the market, and I watch what's going
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: on economically pretty closely here in the United States, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: we are hitting we are hitting high after high record
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: highs every day. It just keeps on going up, up up.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Consumer confidence is low or going down quickly. Unemployment is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: going through the roof as these companies are laying off
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: by the tens of thousands, and they're all lining up
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to layoff. I don't get it other than these corporations,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: because of the layoffs it set, are making tons of money.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And me's that's the new model. That's the new normal.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You won't work, but the company you used to work
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: for is making tons and tons.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Of money, saving themselves rich. Oh, yes, they are all right.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: One more before we take a break. All right. We
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: talked about this a little bit. The Dodgers make costly
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: mistakes last night and they've fallen behind, losing six to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: one to the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday. A lot of
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: this goes on the shoulders of their lead Blake Snell
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: on the mound for Game five.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there was a lot of confusion there
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: because some of the pitchers who were throwing balls in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the stands to kids didn't realize that they were in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the middle of a game and that was a real pitch.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers just missed it last night. It was miserable,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: President Trump has ordered the Pentagon to start testing nuclear weapons.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And he's doing this because he wants to sort of
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: counter other countries testing programs or be at least on
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: par with what they're doing. I don't know why we
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: need to do this. This hasn't been done since nineteen
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: ninety two, with.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It goes way back further than that. I'm going to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: tell you when I first heard of a test ban
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: treaty when I was in grade school, going all the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: way back to nineteen sixty and JFK. And I've got
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a whole segment on that coming up at seven o'clock.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm going to back up Trump
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: on this one. I am I think he's acting appropriately.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And I don't say that too often, but I think
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he is acting appropriately. And I'll explain why. All right.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Well, as we've been following and our fears with Hurricane
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Melissa bringing destruction, it has done just that, leaving at
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: least a dozens and dozens dead, caused widespread havoc, obviously
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: destruction across Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica. And you've got places that
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: aren't you know, some of these places in Haiti and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the like and not built really well. So They're now
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: roofless homes, utility poles, you know, anything you can think of.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Damage wise hit the landscape and tore up this area.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: On Wednesday. You even have residents evacuating still from their
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: homes in Cuba as Hurricane Melissa continues to do what
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: it does, and that is destruction throughout the Caribbean.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's as bad as anticipated. In a couple of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: stats about this hurricane, it is the worst hurricane to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: ever hit Jamaica or in that area. Category five wins
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: up to one hundred and eighty five miles per hour.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. And the reason I and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you have never heard of that is that it is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the third worst storm in recorded history as long as
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they have been looking at hurricanes. This is number three,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and I think I may have very very well tied
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for number two.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Wait have you been to Jamaica? I have what's it?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: What's it like? I mean, I really don't have any idea.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Is there poor areas?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, oh yeah, poor rich I mean there's there's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of cannabis, man ame on in wonders, a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: lot of That's.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: A pretty good Jamaican action.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad, not bad, not bad, and then and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: then the music is wonderful. It's terrific, and the food
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is wonderful. It's a neat place, it is, except there's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of poor people. So I like going to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: places where the population is really poor because it makes
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: me feel richer. That's why I hang out with poor people,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: because I just feel better about myself. I just seem
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to feel better.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: And we love hanging out with you. Yeah, all right.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: This is wild story.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Twenty one monkeys were involved in a truck crash. Truck
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that was transporting them from Tulane University in New Orleans crashed.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Twenty one monkeys I guess escaped. Five of them are dead,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: three are still missing, and then they recaptured the rest
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a whole story here. I'm going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: talk about that at seven twenty after the Donald Trump segment.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And there is more than just twenty one monkeys have escaped.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is a.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Story of orre they infected, being used for testing research?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Are they being used? Are they putting with sex workers?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Are are they involved with.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: All of this? Wait? Wait, wait what I heard about
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the other part?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah, well they're very here's the problem they're very small,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and the it's just difficult, you know what I mean.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I think you're just in a direction I don't think
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: is no, because I mean people do that, but they
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: have to.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: They have to wrap duct tape around them because they
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: tend to explode. Okay, that's that's okay, that's a visual.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That's a visual that we will.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Don't make me do the news after. We gotta have
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: some kind of buffer story.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And now Heatherucker sliding into the news.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Oh my lord.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: All right, Robert F. Kennedy, Junior head of the Health
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and Human Services Department, says, NA don't know what I'm
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: talking about. Bye, well, not word for word, but he
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: he says that tylan be used with caution during pregnancy,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: but you know, like science and solid data linking it
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: to autism is what he said, was lacking, as in
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: not there at all and no backup. It's just causality
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: or bad logic. So yeah, he just comes up with stuff.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, he created one of the largest anti vaccine
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: organizations that are out there. That was his baby, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it's you know, I wonder obviously for political purposes when
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Trump tags these people for major, major cabinet.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Positions, well, this one, this one, as crazy as it is,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: did make sense because he was running as well and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: had a no understand that. No, let me tell you
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: where I'm going with that. I agree with you.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's a given that Trump rewards his loyalists, and it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what position, he just reward loyalists. My question
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is does he actually buy into that stuff or is
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it simply political expediency? And boy, if you like me,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I like you, you go ahead and murder a kindergarten class.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: As long as you support me, you're getting the pardon.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I love you?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Uh? Is it limited to that? Are you asking us
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to get in the mind of Trump? At?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: No?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's you know what, I think it's fairly
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's fairly easy to get in the mind
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of Trump.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: It's not that it's not that complicated.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's pretty clear. He usually says what he means.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know you like me, you give me
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and you give me accolades.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, And I like you, you don't, I'm coming after you, yeah,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: big time.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know that's funny because you hear the promo
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: for co Belt when he was on Yeah, it's kind
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of the same thing. John, I've heard a lot of
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: beat I couldn't have I couldn't have had a better
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: This is the best. Yeah, this is like you're the best.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: This is the best phone call I've ever had.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Well, John, I think is the only trump Ist on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the station. If I'm not mistaken, I mean I'm certainly not.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You know that, And not only the other hosts are either,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: or if they are, they keep it very quiet to themselves.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Ding dong, ding dong.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: All right, moving on, moving on, shall we? So we
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: just keep going back and forth with Canada here. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: the Senate voted yesterday to end the national emergency. The
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: President Trump declared to impose tariffs on imports from Canada,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: and of course he did that in response to an ad.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Do you remember this ad from I think it's been
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: a week or two now.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: From the Province of Ontario, Yes, not the Government of Canada.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And it's an it's a it's a it's as you know.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The ad simply has Ronald Reagan talking about how horrible
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: terror rasar. This is going back to the eighties when
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he was president, and it was edited, but the basic
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: premise didn't Change's Ronald Reagan was against tariff and here
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: here's my point. You run an ad against me, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: punish the entire.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Country, the entire country, that's right. So he added the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: ten percent tariffs, and so they've been going back and
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: forth on these tariffs, and the Senate voted, well, it's
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: a bipartisan vote against those tariffs.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it doesn't matter because the House is going
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to back up Trump.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's whatever Trump wants Trump gets.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: That's a song. The black market for maple syrup right
• 20:33

• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you have a sixty dollars steak or a sixty five
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: dollars steak.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: That's the quality.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Oh I don't I just look I just look at
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I just look at them. Okay, I just look at
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the menus outside those restaurants. I think I go in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with spend that much money for a steak, You're out
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: of your mind.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: All right, rich people, some of us can barely afford
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: a Wendy's hamburger.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: That's how I'll tell you. You get the Delmonico and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you have five people share it with you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true, But how much does that baby cost?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That is descos probably eighty five plus?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, wow, yeah, all right, well thanks for calling me
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: poor everybody.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Now I'm hungry, all right, another reason to tax us.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: But thankfully it fell through Anaheim City Council. They opted
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: not to advance this particular proposed tourism tax ballot measure.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So this would have imposed a three percent tax on
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: admission tickets and ten percent tax on larger parking areas
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: in the city. And by larger they say any parking structure.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Other areas that are fifteen hundred spaces or more would
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: have been subject to that ten percent city tax. But
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the fear here was with the city council, and the
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: reason why they were concarned is because it's creating just
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: an over reliance on visitor revenue. You've got Anaheim, you
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: know it already accounts for more than sixty percent of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Anaheim's funding for police, by our libraries, parked, all these
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: things based on tourism. Yeah, but that's the city.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: After city that has major tourism issues and have a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: tourists come New York. The city tax is ridiculous in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: New York, and that funds so much of a New
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: York's budget. And one of the problems in this bill
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: was another name for the bill is we're excluding the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Honda Center from taxation bill. And people got a little
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: upset about that, that that was the exemption and oh,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it's only because of the size of the parking structure
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: or how many politics and park team. I think it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: eighteen to nineteen thousand people. But there's still a major venue.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: That's still a major venue. Why would you draft your
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: bill that excludes this is the Honda Center. Maybe there
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: are some hockey fans in the city council that do
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: not want to honta a charge parking right sane anywhere.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: This is what's happening out in Let's see Riverside County.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Eighteen rabbid bats have been reported out there, fifteen confirmed
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: cases from the public health lab. We're in twenty twenty four,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: so that's an increase this year. What's going on out
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: there with all the rabbid bats in Riverside County?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Who the hells it's.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Riverside County, Kno, why bats? And why are they have.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Rabies Riverside County? Then say Riverside They said the county
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: is very wide, vast.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: All right, fair enough and does have rabbit bats.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know what city. This is in guys.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Bats fly around everywhere.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: It's all the whole county.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: If you can bit by a squirrel or in this
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: case of bat or a mouse a rat, you obviously
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have to go in and prophylactically get Raby's treatment. Because
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: one symptoms hit you, it's over. You're gonna die. And
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it is not a fun death either. It is a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: pretty painful death and it's easy to deal with. I mean, beforehand,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you just go in there and you you get the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: rabies treatment. I think it's three I used to be uh,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and I'll get an email from some doctor hopefully three
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: shots in your stomach area and that's uh.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I used to tell you as a kid. It was
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: like a ten inch needle that they put in. Yeah. Man,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: but you really needed it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, if you think if you're near a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: bat and fly around and you think it can get
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: near you, you go for it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: This says that you should just wash it with soap
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and water, not the bad no, no no, if you've
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: been bit but that's crazy, Like I got bit by
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: a bat, I'm just gonna wash it with a little sigh.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't say to follow up with your doctor.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: It says that next, but it says wash it with
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: soap and water first.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, anytime you get bit, that's what I do. Yeah,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I tell my wife no, no, right, nobody, All right,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: So kel Ice raids. You got ten people arrested for
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: allegedly interfering in the immigration enforcement. You know, stand down,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna win anything. Do it at the ballot box.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Party people the civil disorder against law enforcement officers or
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: what they're charged with, including some violence as well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Throwing rocks and agents.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Of course, you can just say it's like, it's not
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: helping and it's not going to make the situation any better.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to see what, you know, people being torn,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: families torn apart or anything.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Not only is it not going to make it better.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Look at the visuals. The argument is that Southern California
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: is out of control.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I look at this and it just helps. It's a
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: open rebellion.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And here you have a video of someone throwing a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: rock at a cop. And then those that are pro
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: immigration control, anti immigration folks can say, this is what's
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: happening all over southern Calior. You're hurting, you're hurting your
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: own cause. As Neil just said, all.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Right, this is kind of a crazy story. United Airlines
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: turned a flight around because somebody's computer, their laptop fell
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: fell behind a cabin wall panel, like a small gap
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: in the cargo hold, and they couldn't get it out,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: and so the pilot says, they were worried about what
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: might be in it, and you know, if we can't
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: access it, we can't see it. So they turned the
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: plane around.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it makes sense. It wasn't that he thought
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it was a bomb. It was it was it fell
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: at a certain place that there wasn't any fire suppression
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: units anywhere near there. And you go, and it's a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: lithium battery that's in these things, and he said, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: we know that those things ignite. So the pilot turns around.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I've been on all of us have been on airplanes.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Where in the cabin can you put a computer that
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: it slips into the cargo hold?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I was just thinking.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I've heard there's some some times between
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: your seat and the window there might be some little
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: space there.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: On the floor.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I've never seen it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen it either, but I have heard other
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: reports of that happening there. I have no idea how
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: this would even happen. That's wild.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: But the pilot and he said, it's not an emergency.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: This is what happens. So he lands and they check
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it out and there it is. And I assume that
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: people will go back onto the airplane and you know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: they're all delayed. And the rest of the story, of course,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is they beat the passenger senseless because of so many defense,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: so many delays. I certainly would Okay, okay, we're done, guys.
• 28:39
