  Speaker 1: console of his car?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he liked He liked weapons, and he carried weapons

  Speaker 2: on him because the police officers are allowed to carry
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: guns until the day they got he did. He created SWAT,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: He created air support, first police force in the country
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that had helicopters. That was his creation. And then if

  Speaker 2: you remember the armed vehicles with the big he took
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: those of what was there that he took those troop carriers.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: They're sort of tank, like he put this huge well,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: because you had these safe houses, they couldn't get through,

  Speaker 1: Listeners would send food all the time, treats and stuff,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: very kind, but people would raise an eyebrow, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be careful of food that's been sent. He he wasn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that way. He would just eat whatever came. It's like

• 5:44
  Speaker 2: best team we have ever ever said one team.
• 5:47

• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I remember I generally take for lunch when someone comes
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: aboard one of at one time, I go to breakfast,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: usually with someone. And I'm not going to mention names here,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but we had a religious folk, a real religious guy
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: who was here a few years ago, and I mean
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: real religious, and so I took him downstairs and we
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: ordered food and he before we before eating, he bends down,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: clasps his hands together and says, Jesus, thank you very
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: much for the food we're about to eat. And I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: look at him and I take out my credit card.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Whose name is on this credit card? You tell? Do
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you see Jesus's name on this credit card? You do not?
• 6:41

  Speaker 2: All right, are you guys ready to do it? It
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: is time time for handle on the news. Let's do it, Amy,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Neil and me lead. Sorry, let meet this nowmas Hamas
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Thomas Humas not only is ms taste good, but as
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: exactly for you cannibals. Humas has actually reached a grimmy
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: agreement to disarm. They said they will disarm, which is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a big time. That is big time. We'll see if
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they agree to it and have agreed to allow a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: independent Palestinian authority, a technical authority to govern Palestine or
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to govern Gaza, and Israel has to pull out completely.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Israel has to leave. The security zone is gone as
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: far as they're concerned. A lot of money to rebuild Palace,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to rebuild a Palestinian on Klafe, but eighty percent of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: it is rubble. The amount of money it's going to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: take to rebuild Gaza is Who's going to pay for it?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you who is not. Israel will not. I'll
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: tell you the United States is not under Trump. It's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. Now. If we get a liberal
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: president next time around, there may be some money given
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to the Palacine enclave to Gaza and we'll see what happens.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Oh surrender all of its weapons, destroy the network of tunnels.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if this happens, and you'll see some
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: rockets being launched into Israel.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Do we know where the tunnels are?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Why don't we just we know where some of the tunnel.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: If they know where, they know where some of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: tunnels are, not all of them. All right, it's do
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: one more and then we'll take a break.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: What is it with Iran and water not only attacking
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: in the Strait of Hormuz, but at a cyber attack
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: affected technology at more than thirty community water systems in
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Minnesota this week. Investigators are now trying to figure out
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: whether the activity is the work of Iranian hackers. US
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: officials and other sources are also saying they're going to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: look into whether whoever did it may have attempted to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: appear to be Iran based as a way of kind
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: of stirring the pot during the ongoing conflict between US
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: and Iran.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting a little complicated, isn't it. Yeah, because
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you can hide behind someone who hides behind someone who
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: hides to find out who it is, and they have
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that the hacking coming out of China, coming out of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: North Korea, and this is state sponsor at hacking. They're
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: at federal employees that do the hacking, and they're very
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: very good at it. The Ukrainians are one of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: world's best hacking places. Did you know that Ukrainians are
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: very strong with hacking.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Are we doing it too?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I assume we are, But I would guess that it's secret.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I would think it'd be classified. Yeah, And that's not
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: going to They're not going to share that, nor should they.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: All Right, all right, Trump, as he has been threatening
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to pull Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination. Why well, because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of holdouts to Republican senators who have
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: expressed concerns about Blanche and some of his previous insights.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I guess is what you'd look at. But the pair
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have expressed this hesitancy to support Blanche over concerns with
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Trump's settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. Specifically, this is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the leak of his tax returns and all that Michigan go. Well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is now saying, well, I'm just gonna hold it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hold the whole thing until January when
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: those two guys are out.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And what's going to end up happening is the Senate
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Mike flip So he's gambling that he is going to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that there'll be two senators replacing Corner Antillis who will
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: vote in favor of the deal that he has cut,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and what a deal. He has cut. No Irs audits
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: for him, him, his family, his businesses. Ever, he sued himself.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He sued the IRS for ten billion dollars and then
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: he negotiated a settlement with himself. The Department of Justice
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: didn't fight the argument. They just said, oh, sounds good
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to be and so that's the deal. Oh and let's
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: not forget that weaponization fund of almost one point eight
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. And these two senators, well, I love the Democrats,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: of course voted against it, but these two Republican senators
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: have said, wait a minute until we figure this out. No,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: thank you, we do not want the weaponization front. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: it's not really unfair that every other American can get audited,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but you're going to your finances be off the table.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It turns out I think that he doesn't care if
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Blanche case a nomination. It doesn't matter. Blanche can be
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the acting attorney general. Do you know how many acting
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: executives there are in the executive branch? You could may
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: name everybody acting and never go in front of the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Senate and so and the other thing is Tillis and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Cornyn I have been primaried out that's the other thing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: All the other senators who are running again are gutless wonders.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: No one has the balls to go against Trump, nobody.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens on this one. He may
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: get it. He may get it. I think a big
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: thing he wants is the irs business, so he has
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: never audited. I mean, can you imagine if a Democrat
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: were to cut that kind of deal with the Republicans
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: would do that can't be turned over, No, because it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: in perpetuity. It is done. It would be done special,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: isn't it okay? Moving on to depressing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: AI's gone rogue again. AI company Anthropic said during routine testing,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: some of its models access the Internet and hack into
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: three separate organization systems, and says it didn't notice that
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: they had done that until an internal review, which was
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: prompted by open ai disclosing that its models broke through
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: some barriers and hacked into some other companies. Anthropic said
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: that once open ai disclosed last week that it's AI
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: had hacked into some other companies, they thought, well, we
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: should take a look at this and see what.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Ours is doing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And that's when they discovered the breaches.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I found out that's the case, because my
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: application to Tinder was transferred to Grinder, and I was
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: not very happy about that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You sure that wasn't the other way around?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Mortgage rates, You've got five months into the war in uron,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: rising oil prices. You've got inflation just being stubborn as hell,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: driving mortgage rates to the highest level. In a year,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the average thirty year fixed mortgage rate climbed to six
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: point six six.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's getting help the base. It's getting expensive. It is
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: getting expensive. But it doesn't matter because the yesterday the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: President said how prices are dropping, and he mentioned eggs.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Didn't mention the price of oil, didn't mention the price
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of me eggs. Eggs have dropped. I like eggs, I know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: so do I. And the problem is, even if the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: president is successful in bringing interest rates or bringing inflation
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: down to almost zero, it's already baked in. It's already
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: baked in. That's what happened with Biden. In fact, when
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Biden left office, inflation had gone down substantially to almost
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: normal levels. It was at nine point at one point,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: and then when he leaves it was three point two
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: three point three. And the president President Trump said, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: inherited the worst. He didn't. But the problem, the point
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: was is that nine percent was baked in. Inflation doesn't
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: drop even if it's zero, prices don't go down, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that's the problem. I think the president is going to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: have well, not necessarily the president because he's out of
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: office and really doesn't give a rats. And he said,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't give a rats. It's going to be for the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Republicans reading in the general election. We'll see it. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: can't wait for the general to see you how badly
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: or if the Republicans are nailed at all. You remember
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: there was going to be the Republican wave last time around.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: That never happened. Okay, I think we can do one more.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: It's looking a lot like the US Mexico border from
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. About sixty thousand people have
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: crossed illegally from Morocco into this tiny little Spanish territory
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: called Seuta. It's up on the northern tip of Africa,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: and for whatever reason, there is a huge crush of
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: people trying to get out of Morocco and into Seouta.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: At least thirty four people have been killed, most of
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: them drowned because they're coming along the coastline at the gates,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: just the way to Moroccan authorities have deployed water cannon
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: trucks and pushed people back. Spanish authorities say they're trying
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: to expel those who've come in illegally as quickly as
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: they can. It's only got eighty five thousand terra terracets
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: and it's only got eighty five thousand residents, and they're
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: saying sixty thousand people have flooded the border.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: This is this is worldwide, this problem where But it's interesting,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: why is it happening now? And it's always happening, it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: always happle think that it's it's not in Spain, it's.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: It's a little territory. Yeah, it's off the northern tip
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: North Africa.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: But you're talking about Europe has Northern Africans, Northern African
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: citizens or inhabitants that are moving out of Morocco, out
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: of Algeria, out of Libya only because they can't live
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: over there. You can't make a living. Food, food is
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: impossible to buy because it's so expensive and no one works.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: So our problem is, of course Mexico, Central America, to
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a smaller extent, South America, there's Northern Africans that come
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: over and the whole world is reeling with a number
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: of immigrants. And how do you blame the immigrants. They
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: just want to come over and support their families because
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: they can't.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you won't be able to once you move
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that many people in the whole system.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course, And the point is do you
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: have a secure border. And the super liberals still believe
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: open arms everybody coming in. It's our duty to do
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: what we did at the turn of the last century
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and allow everybody in. Well, we needed people to turn
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: in the last century. It's a different world today, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: so it's a tough one. It really is. Humanitarian wise,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you have to let them in, and to protect your
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: own borders you have to not let them in. It's
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: it's a tough way to go.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Mo Kelly, I miss him, used to say get the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: easy ones right, and I love that saying, you know it,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: just get the easy ones right in life. And the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: US government has not gotten the easy ones right. US
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a State
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Department presentation at a global conference taking place in Brazil
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: this week. So there was a stir caused course among
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the attendees who took screenshots and posted them online. Hey, look,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: how stupid America is.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I'm looking at the map. Every country is mislabeled.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And how many look at the look at it. How
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: many countries are labeled Trumplandia.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is super embarrassing. This is not
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a power point.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: No it is no, no is Uh. Yeah, it's hilarious.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: It is hilarious.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: You know how they say make hay when the sun
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: is shining. Well, the sun shining a lot, and that's
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: good for California. They generated for the very first time,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: more than half of its energy from the sun. It's
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: the first time a large scale power system is known
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to have surpassed fifty percent solar for an entire month,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: and the second significant power record set by the state recently.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: For the first five months of this year, California made
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: more electricity from solar than it did from natural gas.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Big reason of it, apparently, is the boom in new
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: battery storage that's available.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: There's the technology, not only individual batteries at home, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: today I don't think anybody puts in a solar system
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: without a battery pack connected to it, there's no sense
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: in it. It doesn't I and when I put in
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: my solar, I have battery. But also industrial batteries are
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: coming along. You know, one of the biggest companies the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: best technology is Tesla. They were real pioneer in battery power.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And so combining the efficiency of solar panels, which are
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: getting better and better, combine that with batteries. Man, that's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the way of the future, and you're going to see well,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: you're going to see some well, the complete move over
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: to solar and alternative energy, even though this administration hates
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: it and is doing everything to stop it. And that's
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: not me saying, oh, anti Trump stuff, It just that's
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a fact. The administration does not like alternative energy. Wait
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: till the next president comes in, who is in favor
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: of alternative energies. You're going to see it explode.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: They'll put solar panels back on the White House. You
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: remember when Jimmy Carter did that. He put solar panels
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and then they were taken off.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And in those days, solar did nothing.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: All right, we talked about the school shooter yesterday, about
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the sun and now we are talking about Colin Gray,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the dad who was just sentenced yesterday to fifteen years.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He's the father who bought the gun for his fourteen
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: year old son. He got an AR fifteen style rifle
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and his son, Colt Gray sixteen now pleaded guilty last
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: week to fifty five charges related to the massacre there
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and now the father is sentenced to fifteen years for
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: his part and buying the God this.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Is the most strict punishment that has been meted out. Oh,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I would imagine, yep, And it's this is just this
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: is the wave of the future. He that is Colin Gray.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: The defense was I had no idea where there was
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: so much evidence that he knew and it was presented
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to him.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: So and a fourteen year old couldn't buy a gun.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: No, it was a Christmas gift.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but can you legally give the No, No, you cannot.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: That's against the law.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, so already he exactly rate the law.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, you go.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Into Arizona and you can buy all kinds of things
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. You can get silencers, you can get all
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. But they have signs everywhere you can't.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It is illegal to buy a gun. For someone under
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: age or someone who criminally cannot own a gun. Like
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: everywhere you go, there's signs about.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: That halfway there, but man, it still stinks and the
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: heat's not going to help at all. Cleanup efforts at
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: the Lineage, cold storage warehouse and Boil Heights are getting
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: close to hitting the halfway mark six weeks after the fire.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: So there was eighty eight.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Million pounds of frozen food, so they've got about half
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: of it out of there. The city's focus is going
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: to shift from providing immediate relief to removing noxious debris,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: reducing foul odors and tainted air, and putting affected residents
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: into interim housing. According to the assistant General Manager of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: the LA Emergency Management Department.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I think the whole issue here is how fast they're moving,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and do we have any idea of are they moving
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: reasonably quickly? Are they doing everything that is reasonable? I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: don't know the answer to that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like that when you talk to people
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: from the area.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But if you talk to people who are there, ten
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: minutes is too slow and rightly so, I mean, that's
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: what I would do, is clean that up right now.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: But they can't just take the I would imagine. Part
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: of the problem is they can't just take the food
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: and move it out.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: They have to.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Seal it in containers so it's not stinking as it leaves,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and make sure that they're disposing of it properly.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have to find the restaurants that are willing.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: You're accepting the food.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, nice, Bill's house of question marks. Come on in,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: see what you get.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: The La Zoo, as you know, is having some issues,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and a federal judge just this week dismissed a bankruptcy
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: case filed by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, handing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the city of Los Ange listen another victory in its
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: battle with its former fundraising partner over a fifty million
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: dollar endowment that was raised for the zoo.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a little wonky's it's a little wonky.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Do we get into the wonkiness or if.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: You want to walk walker?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I like, because I don't understand what the problem tried. See,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: million dollars is a lot of money.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me try to explain it to you. Okay, Yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it either.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, So the city sued the Greater Los Angeles
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Zoo Association. They were partners for more than half a century,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: so over fifty years they've been partners raising money, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: they accused the organization of a breaching of contract over
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the phone raising issues, so they didn't want to They
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: refused to transfer the zoo data and claiming exclusive control
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: over the zoo funds, among other issues. So who raised
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the money, who gets to use the money, who has
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: access to the money.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, the only part that I understood, Neil was money.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Well know that you mentioned that half a century is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: fifty years. Thank you. That was very impressive.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Want me to point out where Zimbabwe is? I got
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a map?
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Apparently looking too good is making people feel bad. Tinder's
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: AI powered photo enhancement tool has been put on pause
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: in the US. Why because users say they feel violated
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: by it. The tools designed to sharpen blurry images, adjust
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: brightness and exposure, and improve clarity of pictures. Tinder says
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: it keeps your photo authentic to you, but a lot
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: of users are saying that it's over enhancing their images,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: making them look fake and unnatural. One says the tool
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: even lightened his skin.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Now I've been asked to do commercials for enhance my tools. No,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: and no it was different. Yeah, no, no, it's true.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: And I and I and I always say no because
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: because none of them work.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I remember, so I back in the day, I did
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: all the artwork for KFI billboards, everything, and I would
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: retouch the photos here and Bill Bill came in one
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: day he goes, hey, that's a pretty good picture of me.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I go, you want to see what it looked like before.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He's like, really, I showed it before. And ever he's like,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: nice job.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: You know. So I have a question. You don't like
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: what Tinder is doing in terms of their algorithm making
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: you look better or making you look like you have
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: darker sin or changing you don't use Tinder? How hard
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: is that? You know what?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They should have a filter on there that defilters show
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: me what they look like without makeup, you know, show
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: these things on there, like there should be their bank account.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: You should be able to see what there was.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to mention her name, but there
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: was a lady who did a show on another station
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and she was sixties maybe seventies, and in her picture,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: her promo picture was when she was twenty five, and so, hey,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: you don't look that way anymore. Okay, you buy it?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And still the rude when they'd use their high school picture.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, what's the last promo picture I have where
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I look twenty five years older than the one that
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I took twenty five years ago.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I would costs of change. I would rather look ugly
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: in the picture, and they go, oh, he's actually a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: little better looking in.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: It, exactly. All right, we do have one one more,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: because of course, this one that we had to.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Do, this one, all right, Trump branded commandment commemorative of course.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're now available. You can get your passport Trump's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: picture on it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And for those who want to be extra targeted by terrorism.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Now we do have one more amy Yeah, apologies.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Vincent Thomas falling down. Okay, So the Vincent Thomas Bridge,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: the iconic Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, apparently is
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: going to be reimagined. It's going to take a while.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: They've signed a memo of understanding to start what is
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: going to be a long, costly process because they're talking
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: about how the bridge needs to be modified, in part
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: because the ships are bigger and taller and they can't
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: get under the bridge, so they may just tear the
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: whole thing down and replace it. But they're also talking
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: about modifying it. They don't really know what they have.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: You Have you driven that bridge? Yeah? It is your
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: four hundred feet above the ocean, and every time I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: drive it, I'm thinking if earthquake comes, I am so gone.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: This car is going to go right over and plummet
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: four hundred feet. It's scary. I find going over that
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: bridge scary.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I do you find everything scary?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: No, I don't.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: You're kind of a whim I am.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: There's certain things that I don't find scary. Costco, for example,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I get a lot of solace in Costco. That's it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: That's it. I think we're done, guys. Certainly for a
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Friday version of Handle on the news coming up Disney
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: ABC particularly and the fight with the Trump administration over
• 29:37

  Speaker 2: has come back big time, so we'll do that coming up.
