- 0:30Speaker 2: I actually tried to go to a Mexican restaurant. Lindsay
- 0:34Speaker 2: loves Mexican food. So there's a Mexican restaurant near our house,
- 0:38Speaker 2: which is you know, I'm generally empty. It's a little
- 0:40Speaker 2: over price, but it's really close and convenient, and walked
- 0:44Speaker 2: up there, found a parking space. Just happened to find
- 0:48Speaker 2: a parking space because you know, I have that handicapped
- 0:53Speaker 2: placard because of Lindsley, and so we stole the space,
- 0:56Speaker 2: just as one of those fans with the incredibly handicapped
- 1:00Speaker 2: people electric, yeah, with the electric wheelchair, and they had
- 1:07Speaker 2: to I think as I was walking in with Lindsey,
- 1:10Speaker 2: I saw the lady in the electric wheelchair. She almost
- 1:14Speaker 2: ran out of juice from where she had to park
- 1:17Speaker 2: in the parking lot to get into the restaurant. So
- 1:20Speaker 2: in any case, it was a two hour wait. Yeah,
- 1:26Speaker 2: and they had a mariachi band and it was walked
- 1:30Speaker 2: in and walked out saying no, thanks so well, considering
- 1:36Speaker 2: single DeMaio and Taco Tuesday hitting the same day, Man,
- 1:39Speaker 2: what are you doing conens. Yeah, it's one of those
- 1:45Speaker 2: massive space events. Okay, good morning, Hello Amy, good morning. Yeah,
- 1:51Speaker 2: we're gonna spend a lot of time with you this
- 1:53Speaker 2: morning because you're seem to be the only person that
- 1:55Speaker 2: cares about those debates. I tried. I tried, I swore,
- 2:01Speaker 2: I tried listening. I couldn't take it. I couldn't take it.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I mean, it was just it's gotten to the point
- 2:08Speaker 2: now where you know, usually I'm fanatic about this stuff.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Not only do I have to do this because of
- 2:15Speaker 2: what we do here, but also I'm fascinated by it.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Nothing anymore, really, I'm still fascinated by it.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing anymore. I'm just it's crazy. The only thing
- 2:25Speaker 2: I found fascinating was Indiana and Ohio, where the Trump
- 2:31Speaker 2: indorsed candidate's statewide level scored seven. Yeah. Yeah, Trump still is.
- 2:39Speaker 2: It goes to show you that not only is he
- 2:42Speaker 2: the man, he is going to be the kingmaker until
- 2:44Speaker 2: the day he dies. He will probably be go go
- 2:48Speaker 2: down as maybe the most powerful politician we have had
- 2:52Speaker 2: in this country. He'll certainly be in the top top top.
- 2:56Speaker 2: All right, So anyway, Neil, good morning, good morning, and
- 3:00Speaker 2: and there you are here I am good morning, good morning.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And then will Coleschreiber morning Bill. Yeah, there you are.

- 3:15Speaker 2: Yeah, damn right. That's why I want to work tomorrow.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Although they're still hiring, I think that I don't see
- 3:22Speaker 2: those anymore signs at Taco Bell twenty three dollars an hour.
- 3:27Speaker 2: It's those jobs are just not as rare or those jobs. Yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 2: those jobs are. Which way am I going on with?
- 3:36Speaker 2: More rare? Less rare, medium rare? I okay, never mind.
- 3:43Speaker 1: You know my damage I could do if I worked
- 3:45Speaker 1: at a place like that. I made sixty dollars an
- 3:48Speaker 1: hour between what they pay me and what I ate.
- 3:52Speaker 1: You know, get high on your own supply.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That was one of the greatest things about working at Wendy's.
- 3:57Speaker 3: So you go on break and you get there indyse
- 4:00Speaker 3: food and you get the stuffed potatoes and.
- 4:04Speaker 2: They let you. They let you eat as much as
- 4:06Speaker 2: you wanted.
- 4:07Speaker 3: No, you had to pay for it, but you paid
- 4:08Speaker 3: Like I think, back then it was like a fraction
- 4:11Speaker 3: of what you what the you know list price was,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and back then it was super cheap. The Chickenla King
- 4:17Speaker 3: stuffed potatoes was my favorite.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Oh it sounds good. My daughter works in a bakery,
- 4:21Speaker 2: as you know.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I know, and she makes delicious, delicious.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Oh that's right. She made you some of her bake goods. Yeah,
- 4:28Speaker 2: that's right. So anyway, I was talking to her yesterday
- 4:30Speaker 2: and so she's working full time in the bakery while
- 4:35Speaker 2: she's still going to school, and good for her. And
- 4:38Speaker 2: I said, what do you guys do during lunch? She goes, well,
- 4:41Speaker 2: sometimes we bring our own, but it's a it's a
- 4:43Speaker 2: commercial bakery where six or seven restaurants share a space.
- 4:49Speaker 2: They rent out a space. That's a business where you
- 4:52Speaker 2: set up a commercial kitchen and then you rent out spaces.
- 4:57Speaker 2: And so she goes, sometimes I go to other the place.
- 5:01Speaker 2: There's a pizza place, there's a tie place that manufactures
- 5:05Speaker 2: food there, or and she said, sometimes I sometimes I
- 5:12Speaker 2: bring my own lunch, and sometimes I buy from those
- 5:14Speaker 2: other places, or sometimes we do an exchange. We do
- 5:17Speaker 2: a barter. If we have cookies, for example, that are
- 5:19Speaker 2: misshaping or whatever, we go ahead and do barters. And
- 5:24Speaker 2: I said, do you ever pay for it? And she
- 5:26Speaker 2: said no, no I If I can't do one of
- 5:30Speaker 2: those two, I steal it. Yes, that's why daughter. Yes, Wow,
- 5:35Speaker 2: well good for renting her out, buddy. Yeah, yeah, that's so.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I was just wonderful. Okay, guys, ready to do it?
- 5:43Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it. Let's sign for a handle on
- 5:46Speaker 2: the news with Amy Neil and me lead story gall Mo.
- 5:52Speaker 2: But all right, the debate last night key moments, which
- 5:56Speaker 2: we'll talk about later on at seven and will probably
- 6:02Speaker 2: or Amy will jump in because she actually really pays
- 6:05Speaker 2: attention to this stuff. Still, the only thing is you
- 6:08Speaker 2: had just they were bickering and no one had an answer.
- 6:12Speaker 2: There was a lot of free pizza on Friday, tremendous
- 6:15Speaker 2: amount when you're running for class president in the third grade.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Free pizza on Friday. That's my campaign slogan. I'm going
- 6:24Speaker 2: to cut gastle go down to three dollars, How gaso
- 6:29Speaker 2: will go down to three dollars, Housing will be more affordable?
- 6:33Speaker 2: How holdlessness? Okay, how I didn't get many hows on
- 6:39Speaker 2: that one, at least so what I got, But then
- 6:41Speaker 2: I didn't watch all of it because I was just
- 6:43Speaker 2: sick of it.
- 6:44Speaker 3: So Mayheon did do some hows. So Matt Mayheon is
- 6:47Speaker 3: the mayor of La I'm sorry, not mayor of La,
- 6:50Speaker 3: mayor of San Jose rhymes with La mayor of San Jose.
- 6:54Speaker 3: And he's talked about how he's reduced the number of
- 6:57Speaker 3: homeless in his city by a third since he's been office,
- 7:00Speaker 3: and then talked about some of the things that they've done,
- 7:03Speaker 3: So he actually did sort of answer the pre But
- 7:05Speaker 3: I agree there's a lot of people they say we're
- 7:07Speaker 3: going to do this, you know, a chicken for every pot,
- 7:09Speaker 3: but they don't say how they're going to do it.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Well.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately, his likelihood of winning seems kind of slim,
- 7:16Speaker 1: but he is quite right and does have a lot
- 7:20Speaker 1: of insight from what he's done in San Jose turning
- 7:23Speaker 1: things around there.
- 7:24Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think but Sarah, who's now leading in
- 7:26Speaker 3: the polls, he's most well known. I do believe this
- 7:31Speaker 3: is my takeaway, personal journalistic opinion, But my personal opinion
- 7:35Speaker 3: is he looked like a deer in the headlights a
- 7:36Speaker 3: lot like he didn't quite know how to answer it.
- 7:40Speaker 3: He's very good with the platitudes, like you said, the
- 7:42Speaker 3: chicken in every pot thing, He's very good with that.
- 7:44Speaker 3: But when you try to drill down and get him
- 7:46Speaker 3: to actually answer a question. And Katie Porter has called
- 7:49Speaker 3: him out on that, and I think she did a
- 7:51Speaker 3: good job of doing that.
- 7:53Speaker 2: By the way, the phrase is not a chicken in
- 7:55Speaker 2: every pot? What is it forty acres and a mule
- 7:58Speaker 2: in every pot? No, that's it? No, really, do I
- 8:01Speaker 2: have that wrong?
- 8:02Speaker 3: I think you might have it wrong.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Oh, okay, you mix things up on a rare occasion.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Of course. There was a governor's debate and a mayor's
- 8:10Speaker 3: debate last night. But wait, there's more. Got another one
- 8:14Speaker 3: starting at five o'clock. La Mayor Bass is going to
- 8:17Speaker 3: face off against council Member Nthia Rahman, and for this one,
- 8:22Speaker 3: TV reality star Spencer Pratt is also going to be involved.
- 8:27Speaker 3: That starts at five, and then the seven candidates who
- 8:32Speaker 3: are looking to be the next governor of California are
- 8:35Speaker 3: also going to be debating tonight. That one starts at seven.
- 8:39Speaker 3: It's happening at the Skirball Cultural Center and it'll be
- 8:42Speaker 3: on NBC four.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You know that Nithia Ramen only uses her first and
- 8:48Speaker 2: middle name. She doesn't use her last name, Noodle, because
- 8:52Speaker 2: it would just be too confusing for people. That one
- 8:54Speaker 2: didn't work at all. By the way, Boo, Lucia, I'm
- 9:00Speaker 2: a noodle. Okay, noodle though, so do I. And they're
- 9:05Speaker 2: cheap too. When you go to college, you buy them.
- 9:06Speaker 2: They're like five cents of hack or something and they're
- 9:09Speaker 2: pure salt. Okay, those will tell you every time, all right,
- 9:13Speaker 2: moving on, moving on, moving on, Hey, okay.
- 9:16Speaker 1: President Donald Trump said he was pausing the military's new
- 9:19Speaker 1: operation to clear transit path through the Strait of Her
- 9:22Speaker 1: Moves for commercial vessels. So this was just barely starting
- 9:29Speaker 1: that particular mission, even as more than fifteen hundred commercial
- 9:33Speaker 1: ships are just stacked up. They're all waiting to get
- 9:36Speaker 1: through the closure in that critical waterway. And he pressed
- 9:40Speaker 1: pause for now. Yeah, for some reason.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 9:43Speaker 2: The according to both the President and Marc or Rubio,
- 9:47Speaker 2: the Strait of Her Moves is controlled by the United States,
- 9:52Speaker 2: but still there's no commercial shipping going through there at all,
- 9:55Speaker 2: even though we control it. Okay, that that's a problem.
- 9:59Speaker 2: And I thought the the war was over, and the
- 10:02Speaker 2: war was over and is over, and it's done and
- 10:05Speaker 2: it's finished. Okay, what's going on? Well, we get a
- 10:10Speaker 2: law every day. It's something new. Every single day. It's
- 10:13Speaker 2: something new. So we're going to see what happens. In
- 10:16Speaker 2: the end, we're going to be at exactly the same
- 10:17Speaker 2: place where we were before the war. You watch, guaranteed.
- 10:22Speaker 3: The new today is that they're saying.
- 10:25Speaker 2: By the just me moving my coffee cup. That was
- 10:28Speaker 2: not an internal situation. I just thought i'd mentioned that.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. I'm just going to say. The new
- 10:34Speaker 3: today is that there are sources reporting that there's a
- 10:38Speaker 3: one page memo of understanding basically that would end the war.
- 10:43Speaker 3: We shall see.
- 10:44Speaker 2: But I thought it already ended. Okay, No, No, that
- 10:49Speaker 2: was the first end. Okay, no, that was the sixth
- 10:53Speaker 2: and now we're on the seventh, and now.
- 10:56Speaker 1: We're in the middle end, and then they'll be the
- 10:58Speaker 1: end end.
- 10:59Speaker 2: That's correct.
- 11:00Speaker 3: To many drugs, the US Health and Human Services Secretary
- 11:05Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, has announced a plan to reduce
- 11:08Speaker 3: over prescribing psychiatric medications and then supporting alternative treatment options
- 11:15Speaker 3: and discontinuing medications when needed, he said, Today we take
- 11:19Speaker 3: a clear, decisive action to confront our nation's mental health
- 11:22Speaker 3: crisis by addressing the over use of psychiatric medications, especially
- 11:26Speaker 3: among children.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I just don't get this, because this has become so
- 11:32Speaker 2: confusing that the only thing that's left are psychiatric medications
- 11:37Speaker 2: which are fun and to stop those I think are
- 11:41Speaker 2: horrible of you living on those for years. And if
- 11:45Speaker 2: you can't take LEMCHDL, I'm out.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I speak for everyone, all right.
- 11:53Speaker 1: What a crazy freaking story. So this story is so heartbreaking.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Every time it pops up in my feed, it just
- 12:02Speaker 1: breaks my heart. You have this former FedEx delivery driver
- 12:07Speaker 1: who was pleaded guilty to killing a seven year old
- 12:10Speaker 1: girl in Texas, and he was set sentenced to death rightly,
- 12:14Speaker 1: So yesterday the jury handed down this death penalty for
- 12:18Speaker 1: Tanner Hone Horner after a court proceeding that lasted just
- 12:25Speaker 1: over two weeks. There So he was set to go
- 12:28Speaker 1: on trial and then he pleaded guilty April seventh kidnapping
- 12:32Speaker 1: and killing of Atheneus Strand in this very rural area
- 12:38Speaker 1: Wyse County back in November of twenty twenty two. I
- 12:41Speaker 1: remember his story when it came out how horrific it was,
- 12:45Speaker 1: and apparently his whole argument was that he accidentally hit her,
- 12:52Speaker 1: didn't know what to do, and then choked her.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And I get that. Here's the part that I I
- 13:00Speaker 2: don't quite understand about this case is I don't think
- 13:03Speaker 2: I've ever seen someone plead guilty and get the death penalty.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Usually you agree, Usually under these circumstances, they agree not
- 13:14Speaker 2: to go to trial or I'll plead guilty. I just
- 13:17Speaker 2: don't want the death penalty and to get life with
- 13:19Speaker 2: that parole. To plead guilty and then get the death
- 13:22Speaker 2: penalty I've never seen before.
- 13:25Speaker 4: There was audio from the FedEx truck that they hurt everything.
- 13:30Speaker 2: And video right, there was video.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Oh I'm not arguing no, I'm not arguing no, But
- 13:34Speaker 4: I think it was so horrible, so awful that but
- 13:38Speaker 4: he still could didn't matter.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't understand why it's it's so maybe
- 13:43Speaker 2: he just played guilty just to get it over you.
- 13:44Speaker 2: What are you gonna reward? No, you're going to argue.
- 13:47Speaker 2: You know your attorney is going to argue. No, the
- 13:49Speaker 2: attorney's going to argue for mitigating circumstances. The attorney is
- 13:52Speaker 2: going to argue, here was our case. It was an accident.
- 13:56Speaker 2: And if you think it's a possibility that was an accident,
- 13:59Speaker 2: I mean not enough to have an acquittal, But is
- 14:03Speaker 2: it quite the kind of vicious murderer because it was
- 14:06Speaker 2: an accident not.
- 14:08Speaker 4: One of the arguments was that he had led poisoning.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Okay, and and and so you go ahead and you say, okay,
- 14:15Speaker 2: common yeah, but you try to prove it, you know. Yeah,
- 14:19Speaker 2: we can argue anything to bringing. Yes, that is tough
- 14:23Speaker 2: fuck bringing, That's exactly the tough fub But the plea,
- 14:27Speaker 2: the margin to make is the plea is I'll plead
- 14:30Speaker 2: guilty if I don't get the death penalty. That's what happens.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I've never seen this happen like this. Not that he
- 14:36Speaker 2: didn't deserve it, because these cockroaches have every uh, every
- 14:40Speaker 2: business can.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Be kill tired of that infinite regression of excuse.
- 14:44Speaker 2: And what they always do, that's what they do.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Okay, Well, then the person who treated him poorly rate
- 14:50Speaker 1: being raised might have been treated poorly too, and then
- 14:52Speaker 1: it goes back to the next person, the next.
- 14:54Speaker 2: There's no question about that. It's just that what I'm
- 14:58Speaker 2: pointing out is a plea deal or no deals, just
- 15:01Speaker 2: to plea and the death sentence. Anyway, this is Texas,
- 15:04Speaker 2: so clearly, and Texas doesn't spent thirty five years. You know,
- 15:08Speaker 2: we still have the death penalty in California. It's just
- 15:10Speaker 2: a moratorium. Yeah, it's a moratorium. Yeah, and it's thirty
- 15:14Speaker 2: five years now to get put to death. You die
- 15:16Speaker 2: of old age. That's what happens, all right, high break,
- 15:19Speaker 2: that's what That's.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Cruel and unusual to make them wait thirty five years.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Neil, you know what I do. I kind of like
- 15:29Speaker 2: it because they just don't know when it's going to happen.
- 15:32Speaker 2: You know, I've often said child molesters, I have no
- 15:36Speaker 2: problem giving them thirty days in prison and put them
- 15:39Speaker 2: in the general population because they will be stabbed and
- 15:43Speaker 2: shanked by the time before thirty days, and every second
- 15:47Speaker 2: they're looking over their shoulder and wondering when it's going
- 15:50Speaker 2: to happen.
- 15:51Speaker 4: I think we do medical experiments on them, testing, yes, jeez, yeah,
- 15:56Speaker 4: thank you, Yeah.
- 15:58Speaker 3: I think it'd be amazing, thank you. Apparently it's tough
- 16:01Speaker 3: to be a white guy. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- 16:05Speaker 3: has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the New
- 16:08Speaker 3: York Times, claiming the paper had engaged in unlawful employment
- 16:14Speaker 3: practices and had discriminated against a white male employee who
- 16:17Speaker 3: didn't get a promotion that he was trying to get.
- 16:21Speaker 3: The employee had worked at the paper as an editor
- 16:24Speaker 3: since twenty fourteen and applied for the deputy editor job
- 16:28Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. The complaint quotes from Times diversity
- 16:33Speaker 3: inclusion reports, including a twenty twenty one call to action
- 16:36Speaker 3: that set a goal of increasing the number of black
- 16:39Speaker 3: and Latino employees.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Yeah, now this gets interesting legally, and that is first
- 16:45Speaker 2: of all, there's a case of reverse discrimination first started
- 16:49Speaker 2: in the seventies. I studied this in law school, and
- 16:52Speaker 2: I have to tell you both sides have a case
- 16:54Speaker 2: and you don't need where to go on this one.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Is there a earth of minority hires and promotions? Yes?
- 17:03Speaker 2: There are? Should you consider race as part of it?
- 17:08Speaker 2: Don't know why? Because if you have minorities are not
- 17:12Speaker 2: doing as well as whites statistically, is it because of discrimination? Probably?
- 17:17Speaker 2: But where did that come from? Because statistically his minorities
- 17:21Speaker 2: don't do as well as whites in terms of testing,
- 17:25Speaker 2: in terms of schooling because they don't get the same opportunities.
- 17:28Speaker 2: So if it turns out to be only the base
- 17:33Speaker 2: not on race, if race is not part of it,
- 17:35Speaker 2: minorities get screwed. It's that simple, because that's the way
- 17:38Speaker 2: life works. If race is considered, then there is discrimination
- 17:42Speaker 2: on its face. And so where do you go with this?
- 17:45Speaker 2: It's pretty complicated stuff. Well the United States, well the
- 17:50Speaker 2: Just Department says it real simple. If you're white, you're right.
- 17:55Speaker 2: That makes it easy, doesn't it. Wow, Yeah, it's complicated stuff.
- 18:00Speaker 2: It really is not that easy.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Why say reverse discrimination not just discrimination?
- 18:05Speaker 2: It is just discrimination in reality, but it's reverse discrimination
- 18:09Speaker 2: because usually it's minority suing, and this is whites that
- 18:13Speaker 2: are suing because they have been discriminated. Again, so that's
- 18:16Speaker 2: the way they call it reverse discrimination only because usual
- 18:18Speaker 2: discrimination cases are minority. So it's really complicated stuff to
- 18:22Speaker 2: say the least.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Hey, the good news here is Donald Trump and his
- 18:27Speaker 1: ballroom won't cost anything to we the people. He has
- 18:33Speaker 1: said over and over, no government funds individuals, private individuals
- 18:40Speaker 1: that put up the money. Not one penny is being
- 18:43Speaker 1: used from the federal government. However, now Republicans are proposing
- 18:48Speaker 1: a one billion dollars in tax pair dollars to secure
- 18:52Speaker 1: this ballroom. The only thing this is due to security enhancements.
- 18:57Speaker 1: So you've said before that's legitimate, right for us.
- 19:02Speaker 2: I think it is because they're building an entire security
- 19:06Speaker 2: facility underneath the ballroom and it has to be expanded,
- 19:10Speaker 2: should be paid for by us. That that is correct.
- 19:13Speaker 2: But here's what the Republicans are doing. This is what
- 19:15Speaker 2: this bill entails, and that is including the ballroom as
- 19:20Speaker 2: part of the security. In other words, we believe in
- 19:24Speaker 2: the security, but let's throw in the ballroom as part
- 19:27Speaker 2: of it. And therefore the roof. Yes, that's why we
- 19:33Speaker 2: need a roof for the security paches. So are they Well,
- 19:36Speaker 2: according to these Republicans, it will be the taxpayers I
- 19:39Speaker 2: pay for it. So when the President said two hundred
- 19:41Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars all private donations, that it was
- 19:44Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars all private donations, and it was
- 19:46Speaker 2: four hundred million dollars all private donations. And now it's
- 19:50Speaker 2: a billion dollars that these Republicans want the taxpayers to pay. Okay,
- 19:54Speaker 2: why not Amy?
- 19:58Speaker 3: How about this for avenge? President Trump vowed revenge when
- 20:04Speaker 3: the Republican super majority in the Indiana state Senate voted
- 20:08Speaker 3: down his demands to redraw the state's congressional maps to
- 20:12Speaker 3: help the Republicans get two more seats. So he said, okay, fine,
- 20:16Speaker 3: we're going to primary you. And they did, and at
- 20:19Speaker 3: least five of the seven Trump endorsed challengers to sitting
- 20:24Speaker 3: House members beat Those Republican incumbent are actually not House
- 20:28Speaker 3: members but senators who broke with the president.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Yep. Prove positive that the president still controls the Republican Party,
- 20:38Speaker 2: certain that part of it. And these are Republicans that
- 20:41Speaker 2: have been primaried out. The problem is, these are Republicans
- 20:44Speaker 2: that don't line up on behalf of President Trump. Steve Hilton,
- 20:48Speaker 2: which we're going to talk about later, he's part of
- 20:50Speaker 2: the run for the governor and he is a Republican
- 20:53Speaker 2: or endorsed by Trump, will never admit that Trump lost
- 20:57Speaker 2: the election. Never it was stolen in twenty twenty, and
- 21:02Speaker 2: he was asked over and over again, Nope, nope, won't.
- 21:06Speaker 2: He deflects, and the President is absolutely right. You go
- 21:11Speaker 2: against me, you die politically, you endorse everything that I do.
- 21:17Speaker 2: You have my backing. Now, let's see what happens in
- 21:19Speaker 2: the general. Now, we'll see in November what ends up happening,
- 21:24Speaker 2: And it could be that Trump people just win, which
- 21:28Speaker 2: then at that point the Republican Party has to line
- 21:31Speaker 2: up behind Trump across the board, no matter what he
- 21:33Speaker 2: does or says. But I think the general is going
- 21:35Speaker 2: to be a different story.
- 21:36Speaker 1: It hasn't been that consistent though. There's been times where
- 21:39Speaker 1: his his men thank somebody ey right.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Rarely, rarely, the overwhelming majority is when the Republican candidate
- 21:49Speaker 2: was backed by Trump and was in favor of Trump. Okay,
- 21:53Speaker 2: we haven't heard this name for a minute.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Businessman Vivic Rumaswami has one Ohio's Republican prime for governor.
- 22:01Speaker 1: So this is going to advance what could be an
- 22:06Speaker 1: expensive and competitive general election in the state. It's been
- 22:11Speaker 1: brutal for Democrats in recent elections. So we'll see how
- 22:15Speaker 1: this one plays out.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. Now we know who's going to be
- 22:18Speaker 2: in the general. Now it's going to be ramas Vami
- 22:21Speaker 2: versus a former state health director. And once again it's
- 22:27Speaker 2: going to be well, this is this is a little
- 22:29Speaker 2: bit different. This is Ohio that is, in terms of
- 22:32Speaker 2: governor's race, pretty red and pretty pro Trump. So again,
- 22:37Speaker 2: a lot of this where you get so many answers
- 22:39Speaker 2: during the during the primary or during the general election.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Neither rain, nor snow nor dark of night? How does
- 22:47Speaker 3: that go? But apparently elections are another story. Attorney General
- 22:51Speaker 3: Rob Bonton Secretary of State Shirley Webber are warning voters
- 22:56Speaker 3: that they should get their vote by mail ballots into
- 22:58Speaker 3: the mail at least east a week before the June
- 23:01Speaker 3: second election because of some changes at the postal service
- 23:05Speaker 3: that have slowed down mail service. They also said, you know,
- 23:09Speaker 3: there's the social media posts out there urging Democrats to
- 23:12Speaker 3: vote late and to rally around one candidate to ensure
- 23:17Speaker 3: a Republican doesn't win. Bonta said those posts are misinformation,
- 23:20Speaker 3: disinformation and potentially unlawful.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to the Internet. And everybody is lying about
- 23:30Speaker 2: everybody else and skwing you. And which one do you believe?
- 23:34Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, A quick question. How many of
- 23:37Speaker 2: us knew that the Secretary of State is Shirley Weber?
- 23:41Speaker 2: Did anybody have any idea?
- 23:43Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 23:44Speaker 2: I didn't either. You know what, We called.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Our council person one time for homeless issues here in town,
- 23:55Speaker 1: and they told us that being poor was not a crime.
- 23:58Speaker 1: But you know what, is every thing else. Homeless people do,
- 24:02Speaker 1: peeing and pooping on the street now, lighting fires everywhere.
- 24:06Speaker 1: The northbound side of the one ten Freeway remains closed
- 24:10Speaker 1: there in San Pedro because firefighters continue to battle a
- 24:17Speaker 1: hobo fire, homeless encampment fire burning inside a tunnel beneath
- 24:21Speaker 1: the freeway, and they're looking at this maybe causing actual
- 24:26Speaker 1: damage that will need to.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Be yeah, which means that it's a real problem rebuilding
- 24:32Speaker 2: it because that delays everything for months and months. Freeway
- 24:35Speaker 2: was shut down completely, wasn't it yesterday?
- 24:38Speaker 3: And still half of it is shut down?
- 24:40Speaker 2: Isn't that low?
- 24:42Speaker 1: Feral humans running around La that nobody cares about?
- 24:48Speaker 3: Mango, blueberry Classic and Freshman thol. Those are the flavors
- 24:54Speaker 3: of e cigarettes the Food and Drug Administration has authorized
- 25:01Speaker 3: intended for adult smokers, the major policy shift after months
- 25:05Speaker 3: of appeals to President Trump from the vaping industry. Apparently,
- 25:09Speaker 3: the action comes as teen vaping rates have dropped to
- 25:12Speaker 3: a ten year low. That's good, and manufacturers are pushing
- 25:16Speaker 3: the administration to loosen restrictions on their products. That's not
- 25:21Speaker 3: so good.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Nope, no surprise here. It's just weird. Which way the
- 25:27Speaker 2: FDA goes and you just can't figure out any of it. Okay,
- 25:31Speaker 2: let's do one more and then now we'll bail.
- 25:34Speaker 1: All right, Mexico City is taking low riders to a
- 25:36Speaker 1: new level. It's sinking so at a very alarming rate.
- 25:43Speaker 1: So imagine this. NASA radar systems are looking at different
- 25:51Speaker 1: parts of the world's at all time, and they are
- 25:54Speaker 1: revealing that rates of more than half an inch a
- 25:59Speaker 1: month makes Mexico City one of the planet's fastest sinking capitals.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well why not, that's part of it. Nine
- 26:14Speaker 2: point five inches a year, so over ten years, ninety inches.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Yeah sure, and this has to do I guess with
- 26:22Speaker 1: you know, the aquifers there or they're draining around when
- 26:28Speaker 1: you're pumping.
- 26:29Speaker 2: When you see citizens or residents in Mexico City having
- 26:32Speaker 2: to climb out of Mexico City with a ladder, you'll
- 26:35Speaker 2: know that there's some big issues going on. Okay, we
- 26:38Speaker 2: are done, coming up Bass Pratt and Ramen and that's
- 26:42Speaker 2: not a law firm are debating tonight as the mayor's
- 26:46Speaker 2: race in La kicks into high gear, and that is
