The 24 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.840 tour interchangeable as far as the names of the holidays. And so there's gonna 25 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.439 be a price fixed menu and I'm getting that together. I don't even know 26 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.360 what it is yet, and I have to. We'll share the menu, 27 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.680 etcetera. So you come on down. We'll make fun of the French. 28 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.400 White white tablecloths and white napkins will be everybody will be asked to, you 29 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.240 know, put the napkins over their heads, uh and scream I surrender, 30 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.800 I surrender in French. It's going to be a fun dinner. And of 31 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.199 course you know Bruno is you know the most phenomenal chef out there. I 32 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.159 mean I eat there as often as I can. It's just a schlep from 33 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.000 La It's in Anaheim, all right, Sonia. I will talk more about 34 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.879 that later on tablet. Yeah, do that. No, you can just 35 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.280 tell him that we're going to be doing that at the Biblioteca. Yeah, 36 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.199 you know, I share with you. France has a real habit of or 37 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.840 they used to. The waiters were so rude. I mean everybody in France 38 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.360 is rude. And so I had a French Canadian girlfriend the first time I 39 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.800 went to France, and we went and I actually had her teach me in 40 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.159 French, which I've now forgotten that whenever a waiter was rude, smile and 41 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.520 go. Your mother was a Nazi collaborator during World War II, wasn't she. 42 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.919 Now that one didn't go over very well, but too bad. Never 43 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.759 get into a fight with a waiter because you're going to lose, because the 44 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:38.879 waiter is going to be bringing you the food and rarely do you know what 45 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.360 happens. Lindsay was in the hospitality industry. She opened up restaurants when she 46 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.759 was younger, and she will never let leftovers be packed in the kitchen. 47 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.360 Hey, can I put that? Can I pack that for you? Absolutely 48 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.960 not. Please bring the box out here and I'll pack it myself. Well, 49 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.360 that's because they oftentimes toss it, go to toss it, and then 50 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.879 forget. Oh they wanted that, and then they put it back in the 51 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.840 box. No, it's because the people in the kitchen will sometimes do gross 52 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.960 things to your face. That's exactly. Yeah, but they'll do that. 53 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.560 They can do that no matter what. Y that's exactly they can. But 54 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.399 they don't do that once they give you the food, then you can start 55 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.839 being rude. You know. I tell how about not be rude. I 56 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.079 don't know how to do that. I don't know how to not be rude. 57 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.639 But you know, if I'm not getting good service, I'll snap my 58 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.800 fingers. I will take my napkin and twirl it over my head to get 59 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.879 their attention. Oh, you're definitely getting a finger in the pie if you 60 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:44.199 see. That is why we pack our own food for leftovers. That is 61 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.360 precisely why we do it. I mean, I've worked in I've worked in 62 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:53.160 restaurants before, and I watched people in restaurants like snack on the plates as 63 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.959 they were coming back and they I mean, they just do that. Yeah, 64 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.519 And I don't think everybody does that, but they're you to take a 65 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.439 chance. Who's gonna take a chance. So that's what I do at restaurants. 66 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.160 And I'm a big fan of leftovers, by the way. I mean, 67 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.800 I always take leftover food home. I do unless there's only a bite 68 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.680 left. Tell you what else I do when something as I'm leaving the restaurant 69 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:21.120 and I'm not completely full, I'll go past people's table and go, hey, 70 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.560 are you going to finish that? Now? That is embarrassing for people 71 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.120 I'm with. Are you gonna eat all of that? I've gone out with 72 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:38.439 you? That's true? You have Okay, guys, let's do it. 73 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.560 Handle on the news on this fourth of July. Era of fourth of July, 74 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.160 the night of fourth of July. All right, handle on the news 75 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:55.439 with Heather and' neil and me lead story. Oh yeah, Gavin Newsom is 76 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:03.279 on his way to Washington to stand by Biden. Is backing Biden. Now, 77 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.759 I have a question to ask you, in terms of Gavin and his 78 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:14.040 political aspirations. Do you think if he could get into bed with the Democratic 79 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.399 hierarchy, if they really were committed to tossing by Biden out. You think 80 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:25.560 he'd be backing up Biden. Well, no, right, that's correct, 81 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:32.759 slick opportunist, that is absolutely What about what about closing up to become his 82 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:41.319 u his success, not his success, Secretary Hair? What about vice president? 83 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.519 Uh no, no, no, Kamala is on the ticket. As 84 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.120 a matter of fact, I was listing last night. There were several congressmen 85 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:54.040 that we're saying Joe Biden should consider stepping down and Kamala Harris should step in 86 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.600 because she's the heir apparent. This is the way it would you say, 87 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.759 error apparent? I did. This is the way it works in politics. 88 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:10.360 Rarely do you have someone, especially running a former vice president or someone who's 89 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.800 connected that's the person that gets it. Unfortunately, that's the person who gets 90 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:19.480 it. There are people that are better than Kamala Harris by a long shot. 91 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:27.839 And Biden should consider he should consider stepping down because even if it's not 92 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:32.199 true, the perception that he is too old. And what happens is that 93 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.319 I think he's guaranteeing that Donald Trump wins this one. I think so too. 94 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.000 And here's the problem. I like the fact that I don't care if 95 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.160 Joe Biden doesn't know how to react or doesn't know how to do a debate. 96 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.199 That's not what a president does. A president doesn't sit behind that resolute 97 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.360 desk, and when some big issue comes before the president, he has to 98 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.959 think it through and be methodical and not just shoot from the hip, which 99 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.360 Donald Trump does. I'd rather have a bad debater and someone who is thoughtful. 100 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.160 You know, I agree with you, but you sound a lot like 101 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:16.079 people that are trying to justify voting for a guy that they know is past. 102 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.720 You know, I'm hearing a lot of this. People were very shocked 103 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.360 at the debate, and now there's a lot of kind of comfort talk to 104 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.480 make people feel comfortable. And the reality is, and I told you I 105 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.160 voted for him, but I'm looking at and I'm not voting for Trump, 106 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.360 but I'm looking at this going. You know, we keep justifying based on 107 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:41.120 the D or the R after their name instead of looking for the right people. 108 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.279 Yeah, I mean, we haven't done that. We haven't done that 109 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.240 in a very long time. So we have to stay by rules. Why 110 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.559 can't you boot you know, Kamala or oh you can't you know, why 111 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.879 can't you just do these things? You can, of course, but they're 112 00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:01.120 not going to because you have the unwritten rules that automatically you can't pick the 113 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.200 same vice president. You know, in the last time, last time a 114 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:11.320 vice president was dropped from the ticket on a sitting president, it was Franklin 115 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:18.279 Roosevelt who named this, the senator from Missouri that no one had ever heard 116 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.240 of Harry Truman as his vice president. Garner Wallace, who were his vice 117 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.720 presidents? No, no, I'm going to pick a new one. That 118 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.080 was the last time it happened. You just the very situations need extraordinary Well, 119 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.360 the reality is is that And here's the question that was asked to take 120 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.240 a break, and this one made a lot of sense. Is the issue 121 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.360 of Joe Biden? Is he just that he just have a bad night? 122 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.279 Was this a one off? Or does this really indicate how he thinks and 123 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.799 he is out of it? That is the question. It's not his question. 124 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.240 Very good question because you can see how his people reacted, You could 125 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:07.080 see how Democrats reacted. You could see this this is not just a one 126 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.759 off. And therefore the question is is it because he is a bad debater 127 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.399 or is his mine truly going? He's too old and he's he's decaying, 128 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.120 just like Reagan did in office. We've seen it before. It just needs 129 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.480 to be taken care of. He's not going to last four years. You're 130 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.159 not going to do it. It's too here, it's too big of an 131 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.519 overhauled. He won't last the games. He won't last four years. Because 132 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.360 I believe it will be Trump, and I agree. I would never vote 133 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.840 for Trump. It's because only because not even his policies. I just think 134 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.039 he individe. I don't even think he's a Republican. I really don't know. 135 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.440 I don't think so either. All Right, continuing just a little bit 136 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.159 of the conversation we were having earlier. Most voters are thinking the Democrats will 137 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.559 the better chance of keeping the White House if Biden isn't the nominee. A 138 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.679 new cn End poll says his approval rating has also hit a new low following 139 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.279 his performance at the presidential debate last Thursday. Yeah, and there there's gonna 140 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.039 be a new movie coming out, you know, pushing Joe Biden. Breakfast 141 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:15.120 said Joe's. Oh boy, that's a breakfast at Bernie's reference. Okay, 142 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.120 no, you're not a Weekend. I thought it was breakfast at Tiffany's and 143 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.440 I was like, I don't get it. Oh, Wendays with Maury. 144 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.840 He's confusing a lot of things. I'm conflating a lot of stuff. No, 145 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.120 breakfast at Tiffany's is one thing you can get. Bernie's is the one. 146 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.600 But the guys, yeah, weekend at Joe's. All right. I 147 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.159 was good until I conflated it. And then the thing Heather, I speak 148 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.120 fluent handle, and I have for many years. I translated in my head 149 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.960 like with a U N headset. You'll get it. That's actually true. 150 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.480 By the way, I have to point that out. Oh. The guys 151 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.440 used to, you know, Rich Morada and stuff would tell go what does 152 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.279 this mean? And I go, I know exactly what that means. He 153 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.720 goes, uh, what was it? Chinese is the color of morning? 154 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.679 And I said, no, he means white. In China, white is 155 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.840 the color of morning instead of black, like it is here, and he 156 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.759 goes, I never ever figured that one out. I speak handle. All 157 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.080 right, let's move on. Neil Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass she's kicking off 158 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.879 her reelection bid. She's saying she is seeking the second four year term. 159 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.480 Why she wants to continue to deliver change that Angelino's deserve, and she that 160 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.559 we cannot afford to stop momentum, like on things she's worked hard on, 161 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:35.919 including public safety yep. And she is bragging about how the city the number 162 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.879 of homeless people in the city has has dropped ten percent compared with a prior 163 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.879 year because a lot of them were moved into hotels. A couple of people 164 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.759 at the Peninsula got a little pissed off on my ad that we're paying forty 165 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.919 two hundred dollars a night for a suite motels in interim housing. So I 166 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.600 guess that helps, but nothing any permanence. I will tell you, when 167 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.120 you're up against her predecessor, it's hard not to look better. I do 168 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.799 genuinely believe she's better, and I have seen some changes with the homeless since 169 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.639 she's been in office, But come on, the politics of all this that 170 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.240 is going down, it's not going down. Yeah, I don't care who's 171 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.440 here. I think LA at this point is virtually ungovernable. There are just 172 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.919 certain entities that are just on their face ungovernable. LA unified schools, they 173 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.399 still will run again, like who's going to be her competition? Nobody once 174 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.000 you're in, You're in. I mean they'll be public, they'll be Republic 175 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.080 for you, but she'll be in. I mean, the city is very 176 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.759 liberal. She is very liberal. Paul Caruso, having spent overall one hundred 177 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.519 million dollars of his money, couldn't bait her all right. A judge has 178 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.679 delayed trumps sentencing in the hush money case. Immediately after the Supreme Courts ruling 179 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.919 yesterday, they reached out, or on Monday, rather, they reached out 180 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.399 and asked for it to be moved. And it looks like it was. 181 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.200 It wasn't since for July eleventh, and now it has been moved to September. 182 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.279 He and if it's ever going to happen, he is Donald Trump is 183 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:15.440 tefline. He the luck he has across the boards. Supreme Court just backed 184 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.919 him up yesterday when they came down with their decision. Was it. I 185 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.720 read an article yesterday, one of my opinion pieces, that said, this 186 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.639 isn't even a conservative court anymore. It's a straight out Trump court. That's 187 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.039 it. You know my mom I was talking to her about that too, 188 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.759 and she said, well, it seems like the Supreme Court is helping him. 189 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:41.279 Oh yes, And they are anxiety, you know, and beyond I 190 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.879 mean beyond just helping not even his position, but effectively saying Donald Trump cannot 191 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.799 be held responsible, even to the point where when they're talking about official versus 192 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.759 non official acts, because the court did say non official acts are not covered. 193 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.960 But if you're arguing official or non official, you can't even bring in 194 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.159 motive. You cannot even bring in a president's motive, even if you can 195 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:15.360 prove his motivation was sheer retribution, you cannot. I don't understand. How 196 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.840 can you in in law to be able to bring in evidence and understand what 197 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.159 is official what is not official. You would have to bring motive in that 198 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.279 is correct. Okay, So I can intend crime and I don't do it. 199 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.799 I can't do it. You can't do it with your circumstances. The 200 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.799 court said you can't do it. You are so you're saying this is a 201 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.799 bad judgment. You see, it's not. It's a non legal judgment. 202 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.960 You you think the Supreme Court looked at this and came up with the wrong 203 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.399 conclusion. That's a given. Yes, I think the court came up with 204 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.919 a wrong conclusion because I can understand the court court coming up with you no 205 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.840 official you would think intent like an intent crime. Okay, Uh, You've 206 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.120 got certain crimes that are intent crimes, that is, you intend to commit 207 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.200 the crimes and others. It just happens. And can you imagine trying to 208 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.480 prove an intent crime. You cannot bring any circumstances that talks about it. 209 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.000 Then you have it, then you have an intent crime. Then that that 210 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.720 goes over to So you're saying that you don't think the president of the United 211 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.559 States should be immune. No, absolutely, absolutely certain circumstances. It's uh, 212 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:29.480 yeah, I think under very limited circumstances, which usually the court does. 213 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.600 It went the other way instead of really limiting is a broad The president 214 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.960 can't be touched for what he did in office, cannot be touched. That's 215 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.600 it. President can do anything he or she in this case he wants to 216 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.799 do. Can I ask just like a basic civics question here, because you 217 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.840 know, when we were in class, we were taught that the United States 218 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.919 is built on a system of checks and balances. Where is the checks and 219 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.519 balances? That's just a Supreme Court is a false support. Yeah, it 220 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.840 is a falsehood. Yeah, gives the president basically unbridled, unlimited power. 221 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.920 There has never been a decision in the history of the United States that has 222 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:15.720 given any president this kind of power. As Elena Kagan pointed out in her 223 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.839 dissent, you can't argue that the order of the commander in chief to a 224 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.480 seal team is official. He's ordering the military. How about ordering to kill 225 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.880 a rival if it's an official act, he does that as president, he 226 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.359 is he can do that and has the power to assess the rifles. What 227 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.680 that's a war crime? Well, I don't maybe not a rival country, 228 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.599 but a rival candidate with somebody who's coming after him in I mean, it's 229 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.119 a You can argue war crime all day long. The court doesn't care. 230 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:53.160 The court doesn't care. It seems I don't know, it seems hyperbolic. 231 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.480 I love how people are responding with if Trump's in office now. It was, 232 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.359 well, the problems that kills me. It's like everyone keeps talking like, 233 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.119 well, as president. I'm like, he's not president. No. 234 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.640 It happens to do with what he did as president. I asked being charged 235 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.279 after the presidency. That's what this is about. And he is claiming immunity 236 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:21.880 as what I did as president cannot be regarded as criminals. Meanwhile, the 237 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.119 Clintons are kicking themselves in the ass, going we could have gotten away with 238 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.079 this, that's true, and they actually well yeah, all right, Spring 239 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.440 Card has to reverse itself. It's never going to right, Okay. The 240 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:41.519 city council unanimously approved settlements with more than a dozen residents. This just yesterday. 241 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.200 Why well that was the anniversary of the June thirtieth, twenty twenty one 242 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.000 blast. If you remember what a mess that was. The settlement will now 243 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:55.400 go to Mayor Karen Bass for approval. It will be about twenty one million 244 00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:00.680 dollars that will go out to the residents there strictly at the point, it's 245 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.279 not even personal injury, it's just property damage. Yeah, I remember that 246 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:10.920 explosion, but the bomb squad went in and didn't quite work. I mean, 247 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.920 just that whole neighborhood went up. And they're settling as they should, 248 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.440 all right, Fashion Island, This is a terrible story that happened in Fashion 249 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.000 Island yesterday in Newport Beach. Apparently, a husband and wife were leaving Barnes 250 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:29.319 and Noble and some robbers came up to them, tried to rob them, 251 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.279 and somehow the woman ended up in the parking lot and was run over by 252 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.559 one of the suspects, and eventually, after a chase of a pursuit, 253 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.279 the suspects were arrested and taken in custody in Southgate. Yeah, and this 254 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.200 is a very high end mallent Yeah. Oh yeah, it just you know, 255 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:53.279 it's disgusting. The whole story is discussing that she was dragged bray and 256 00:19:53.319 --> 00:20:00.240 all that. But ultimately you can tell the difference still between LA and Orange 257 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.680 County because they caught them. They caught them, and Spitzer will make sure 258 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:10.799 that they do time. Oh justice. They don't want LA coming to Orange 259 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.720 County. Oh no, no, no, Todd he almost has. You 260 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.720 talk about Trump wanting to build a wall. Todd wants to build a wall 261 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.480 the Orange Curtain, the Orange Curtain, and he wants to make it a 262 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.640 real Orange Curtain. And believe me, anybody who lives in Orange County would 263 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.079 throw money into that one. With gun turrets. They're going to start using 264 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.720 like metal detectors. If you want to go from LA into it's going to 265 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.359 be like going to Jordan from Israel. Yeah, you're gonna have to change 266 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.480 buses, change planes. No, it's yeah, that is a zoo. 267 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.079 And we've done that. Okay, let's move on. We got to do 268 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.279 a couple more stories. Okay. The Department of Homeland Security just said yesterday 269 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.519 one hundred and sixteen Chinese nationals were deported back to China. This is a 270 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.240 big move. It came after the surge of Chinese migrants entering at our southern 271 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:03.640 border here in the US. It's raising. The numbers are rising. Rather 272 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.119 they are in the Chinese Mike, I think what a third of the border 273 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.880 crossings in this last year have been Chinese. Everybody thinks it's Mexicans. Now, 274 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.039 I got to tell you, you got Haitians. You have people from 275 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.400 all over the world, South, well, Northern Africa, Chinese ware one 276 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:25.799 is issues coming over the border, because well that's what you have when you 277 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.359 leave the door open there. And there is really no good system for checking 278 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.640 these people out, which is why in this case they played Chinese checkers. 279 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.200 Okay, all right, Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. And apparently 280 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:45.079 two hundred missing children were found in a US Marshall Service nationwide sweep. Apparently 281 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.599 one hundred and seventy of them were in dangered runaways and they were rescued as 282 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:56.359 part of an operation with the US Marshall Services, and then the operation was 283 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.000 in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They were covered 284 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.519 and removed one hundred and twenty three children from dangerous situations. The other seventy 285 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.799 seven missing children were located and found to be in safe locations. You know, 286 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.359 as good as this story sounds, and it is wonderful for those kids, 287 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.640 the other side of this is there are tens of thousands of kids out 288 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:22.960 there under these circumstances. That's the heartbreaker that in terms of the numbers that 289 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.400 are well, they're all vulnerable, but the ones that are abused, the 290 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.799 ones that are trafficked, I mean, it's pretty horrible stuff to say the 291 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.680 least, so at least, and the problem is with these it's massive undertaking 292 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.839 with many agencies, and the investigation goes on for a very long time. 293 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.720 In the meantime, these little girls, for the most part, are picked 294 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.480 up and used. The Federal Trade Commission unanimously voted to block mattress maker Temper 295 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:56.880 Sealy's purchase of Mattress Firm on Tuesday. So you've got the world's largest mattress 296 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.400 supplier and manufacture and the largest in the US betting retailer trying to do this 297 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.680 four billion dollar deal. The FTC is concerned about it because they want to 298 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.079 keep trade free. Very good. It's gonna make the world's biggest manufacturer slash 299 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:21.039 retailer. And the FTC said, not too powerful, No chance, So 300 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.880 we'll see what happens. No Mattress Mafia, King Mintain's over there, all 301 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.079 right, Well, yeah, just a quick one. You know, the 302 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:33.720 FTC doesn't just say no. The FTC has to go to court and stop 303 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.519 the sale. But you didn't know that. Okay, thanks for that. 304 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.839 No, you're welcome putting one in my mind pocket. Get your stamps everybody, 305 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.759 because the price of stamps are going up. Apparently they are going to 306 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.640 go from sixty eight cents to seventy three cents on July fourteenth, So go 307 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:56.359 and get your forever stamps. This is part of the USPS Tenure Delivering for 308 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:03.759 America plan to financially stabilize the postal service. Yeah. Maybe maybe it's going 309 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.680 to break even for the first time in thirty years as it loses money handover 310 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.440 fist. Here's the problem with the postal service. You know, how does 311 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.799 ups How do FedEx make so much money because the postal service has to deliver 312 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:21.319 to every address in the country. So if you're writing to some Eskimo up 313 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.319 in Borough, Alaska living in an igloo by the way, I don't know 314 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.039 if you might be even allowed to say that. Probably not. You shouldn't 315 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:33.920 be referring to people as eskimos, but they are. But they are Eskimos. 316 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:41.519 In any case, they have to deliver to that iglo. Okay, 317 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.480 well, now they're going to pay more to do it, that's correct. 318 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.799 Know then that igloo is still warmer than that cold dead heart in your chest. 319 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.359 But that's a thank you. A crowd crushed at a religious gathering in 320 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.119 northern India that killed more than one hundred and twenty people yesterday, mostly women, 321 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.519 in one of the deadliest such incidents in the country, in the country 322 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:07.240 that they have seen in recent years. But these these gatherings, man, 323 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:12.559 they are very little rules around them, very little safety nets or anything else, 324 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:17.319 and they're massive and the minute you know, heat or something like that 325 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:22.319 creates a stampede. Good night Irene. Yeah, these are about followers of 326 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.759 the Bullet Baba who come to him. It's a cult. It's a cult, 327 00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.839 and so here they are. He's gone, by the way, he's 328 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.920 just because they're going after him for all kinds of reasons. I would not 329 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:41.559 go and die and drop into an open sewer and basically have heatstroke for the 330 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:49.799 boulet baba. No, no, what about a really good sale on bread? 331 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:59.240 Oh oh, where's I made him hungry? And I brought a bagel 332 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:04.400 today from just from the store. Oh that's not a bagel a bagel. 333 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.119 Listen, I'm not as rich as you are. I can't go to You 334 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.960 can't go to a bagel shop, and I can't. I literally, there 335 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.279 is no bagel shop where I live. I live in the Blendale. We 336 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.960 have we have no bagel. Yeah, no, I understand that. But 337 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.480 you know, don't ever say that a bagel from a bagel from a supermarket 338 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.799 is the bagel. You know what they call bagels from supermarkets, They call 339 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:26.920 them bread. That's what they are. You have to go to a real 340 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.039 jew bagel shop you want real jew bagels. I would love that if there 341 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.279 was one closer to my house and open it to. Michelle occasionally brings them, 342 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.039 by the way. Michelle, Yeah, she stalks by Western Bagels. 343 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.640 Fourth of July. You never see Bill more passionate than when he's talking about 344 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.400 Trump or bagels. That's correct. Maybe we need Bill on the Fork Report. 345 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:55.960 He has been, we talked, We have actually had huge discussions about 346 00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.599 the quality of bagels and the chew of the bagels, and the rust and 347 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.839 the density. I no longer live in a neighborhood. You know, I 348 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.200 got another house and I don't have I'm not near a Western bagel. I'm 349 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:12.160 near Einstein's bagel, a real jew bagel, but very dense. And I 350 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.599 think just way big, too big, because it depends on where you grow 351 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.000 up, and I grew up on Western bagels. You want that chew because 352 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:25.000 I want the chews at the store or just like chew ish. Yeah, 353 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.599 very very well said. And it's bread, they're not you. You have 354 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.279 to well, you know what we should do that You and I on Folk 355 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.559 Reports should talk about what a bagel is and is not. Oh yeah, 356 00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:40.160 because this is fascinating, not only that it's half of my life. Bagels. 357 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.559 We'll do that about that. Are there out of time? Not yet? 358 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.720 There is a I just want to tell you quickly. There is a 359 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.920 movement right now happening in La and the bagel scene. It is popping more 360 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.400 now than ever before. Courage Bagels, Mary's Bagels, like so many bagel 361 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.880 places are Courage Bagels. Storage Bagels is apparently the hot spot. The line 362 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:03.839 wraps around the block to get out. Schmoolies Bagels. Yeasty Boy Bagels. 363 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.440 That's a real place, by the way, is it really you? Boys? 364 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.119 Yeah? That's great? All right, let me know.
