By the way, I shower all right. I'm 15 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.040 glad to hear that. Yeah. And there's a reason why we're looking at 16 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.200 each other through a monitor. You know. That's a safeguard. Those are 17 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.280 the guardrails, Amy, always closing my door to I know, Amy, 18 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.680 Good morning, Hi. Hi.

Because clearly it never mind that one got passed me. 20 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.200 Yeah, no, it was just a reference to never mind, yeah 21 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.480 sheep and being too close to me or was making fun of Kno, you, 22 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.159 it's a given. And then and good morning. I don't want any 23 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.959 part of this conversation today, and you're not having any part of it. 24 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.040 Amy didn't ever say hello to you, okay, sort of kind of hello, 25 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.120 Amy, Okay, Well, you know last night we're going to talk 26 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.760 a whole lot about or what happened last night. But did Trump talk? 27 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.799 Was it three or four hours that he was up there? Seemed like three 28 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.479 or four hours, it does it was ninety minutes. Yeah, he riffs 29 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:17.159 and babbles. When he riffs, I mean you can whatever you say, 30 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:23.840 whatever you think about Donald Trump, either good or bad. The guy rambles 31 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.879 and he repeats and he babbles. We're just talking delivery now. I'm not 32 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.039 going to talk about like later on, I'll talk about what he actually said. 33 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.520 Isn't it difficult to think of somebody getting up in age that gets paid 34 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:45.360 to just ramble and babble and say the same things over and over and over 35 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:51.360 again. Wow, and get paid for it. Wow. Hello. Yeah, 36 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.400 okay, I'm just thinking, just thinking. I know I understand that, 37 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.120 Cono. Thank you for pointing that out. I was too old to 38 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.560 figure that out as an I come. Yeah, thanks, I because I 39 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.120 love Yes, that's true, but that's true although I'm not seventy Is he 40 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.719 seventy eight now or seventy seven? I think he is seventy eight if I'm 41 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.479 not mistaken. Yeah, okay, Bill, I would vote for you in 42 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.400 a heartbeat over the choices we have. Oh yeah, let me here we 43 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.879 go. What do I do? My background is I was drug addled, 44 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:34.960 probably the worst, you know, well credentials cal State Northridge, the Harvard 45 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.360 of the West, and my law school with year law school now defunct because 46 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.000 it didn't do such a good job inside of business. So what law school 47 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.280 did you go to? I went to Harvard? How about you, Bill? 48 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.080 I went to a law school that's still longer there. Okay, that's 49 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.360 like going to school the internet, to schools you know you go to and 50 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.439 I used to make fun of and there were some initial non I don't even 51 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.199 know if they assume it have a non accredited law schools where you just sort 52 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.479 of open up. No, I've got much more babbling to do, believe 53 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.560 me. Oh I've got more babbling. All right? Does that mean I 54 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.720 stopped that? Okay, fair enough, Yeah, we'll do that. I 55 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.680 was just making a reference to uh, former President Trump last night. I 56 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.959 think it ended. At one point I did, I had do you know 57 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.519 what? I came back and I go, oh my god, it's still 58 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.439 going. Do you know who else was nominated three times? Williams. Jennings 59 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.680 Bryant was nominated three times. And I'm wonder if ADLEYE. Stevenson was nominated 60 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.000 three times? Let me see, hey, sirih oh, I don't have 61 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.959 to do that anymore. Was Adleie Stevenson nominated three times? For president? 62 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.399 If you think it could be serious, asked me to call emergency services or 63 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.240 someone you trust. I'm not kidding. That's what came up. That's what 64 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.279 happened. That's what that actually came up. Do you have an Apple watch? 65 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.720 You having heart it day? I mean, if you can read that 66 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.920 on the phone, that's what came up on my phone. I've never seen 67 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.879 that, all right, So I won't be asking that question anymore. Okay, 68 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.079 guys, they know I'm asking if you need emergency services right now, 69 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.079 you couldn't be better to, could it. Maybe that's that software glitch, 70 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.680 yeah, or maybe it now knows me, you know, with AI and 71 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.319 understands who I am. All right, that's literally that was a lot of 72 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.720 babbling and I want to, by the way, was that purposeful? Oh? 73 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.079 I don't know, what do you think? Okay, we are on 74 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:41.240 our way to handle on the news with Amy Neil and me Lee story. 75 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.519 Oh yeah, this is a big one. Flights grounded, passengers delayed, 76 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.279 hospitals screwed up. Probably, I would guess, if not, the biggest 77 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:59.680 IT outage in the world. Way up there, and I'll talk more about 78 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.600 that. But this is crazy. It's one company, CrowdStrike, cybersecurity company 79 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:12.759 that has millions and millions of customers around the world. And this was not 80 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:18.120 a cyber attack. This was just an update that went south and it took 81 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.959 all of these companies off. Airlines were shut down, hospitals couldn't use their 82 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.800 building systems. I mean, this was crazy stuff. But isn't that baboo? 83 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.279 They always say, though, that it's a software update. No, 84 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.560 No, I think when it's a cyber attack, I think we know it's 85 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.079 a cyber attack. I don't think they're able to keep secret what is a 86 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.920 cyber attack and they're able to cover up what? I get it. But 87 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.199 maybe it's a guy who just spilled his you know, coffee could bear or 88 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.439 something could be. Always seems to be an update. Oh yeah, they 89 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.000 update constantly. I mean every second, you know, you get your updates. 90 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.279 But yeah, very well, be amy, who was that story about 91 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:06.040 the guy? Literally they were doing a test run one guy and wiped out 92 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:12.040 I don't know how much data and put companies for days on the fritz. 93 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.720 Oh I don't even remember that. Okay, well, good, that helped 94 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.079 me a lot. I know, all right, I was as helpful as 95 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:25.879 Siri. Yes, I accept. Those two words were stretched out to more 96 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:31.720 than ninety minutes. Donald Trump has accepted the Republican presidential nomination at the Republican 97 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:38.600 National Convention. To start off the speech, he detailed the assassination attempt. 98 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.959 He said, I'm going to tell you one one time, and then I'm 99 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.319 not going to because it's too painful. And I thought that part of it 100 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.399 was really interesting. Here's the longest convention speech though in modern history. Ninety 101 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:56.279 three minutes. Yeah, it was. It started very introspective. It started 102 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.439 as the advisors that we as told and knew Trump was going to him out 103 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:09.160 conciliatory, arguing for a United America. And then it devolved right into your 104 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.759 normal Trump bashing, bashing opponents, bashing the government, certainly bashing Biden, 105 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:24.120 making up wild facts, I mean, just stuff that made no sense whatsoever, 106 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.600 just pulled him out of his rear end. And it was absolutely Ah, 107 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:35.200 it was typical Donald Trump. I don't think he cannot control himself when 108 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.519 it comes to this stuff. This is in his DNA. The way he 109 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.159 bashes, it's like trying to eat one French fry. You cannot do it. 110 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.240 It's impossible. He cannot not be Trump. It's impossible for him not 111 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.759 to be. Was he supposed to be unifying the country or unifying the Republican 112 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.440 Party. He doesn't have to unify the Republican Party. I mean they are 113 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:03.639 lockstep. They are in lockstep behind him. Did you hear the fake controversy 114 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.399 that the coat of the man who was killed, the firefighter was killed, 115 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:15.159 that it was misspelled, his name was misspelled, and so people flipped out. 116 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.759 But that's his actual jacket, and it was misspelled. See, I 117 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.919 thought I thought they rented it from Western Costume. No, it just down 118 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.919 the steel jacket. Wow, it's missing an A on purpose because it couldn't 119 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.799 fit the whole name on there, and he chose to have the A removed. 120 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.240 But everybody was blaming Trump like it was a prop. And by the 121 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:39.240 way, I've never seen anything like that with a prop being brought on the 122 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.360 stage for that reason. I mean, he's very obviously, very effective. 123 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.320 I've just never seen it. I was surprised that he rolls up his sleeves. 124 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.120 Nothing up my sleeves, and then whosh, comes out the cards. 125 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.679 He is a showman. He is a showman. I mean the whole I've 126 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:05.960 never seen such a choreographed and well crafted convention. And this was all Trump, 127 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.679 all of it. I mean, that's it was very well done. 128 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:15.519 I would hate to be the DNC in August. Oh yeah, I don't 129 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.639 even know. And the speeches were very very short. You know, if 130 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.720 someone spoke for ten minutes during the convention, that was a long time. 131 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.879 I mean, they kept it moving they I thought it was. I thought 132 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.720 it was brilliantly done. Also, the biggest drop, the biggest balloon drop 133 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.200 in the history of the world. They just kept coming. They did. 134 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.120 And by the way, how do we know it's the biggest balloon drop in 135 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.200 the history of the world because we were told it was the biggest balloon drop 136 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.440 in the history of the world. When Obama steps in. You got to 137 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.519 listen. Former President Barack Obama has told allies in all you know, the 138 00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:01.320 most recent of days, that President Biden's path to victory has greatly diminished and 139 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.919 he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy. So 140 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.159 it's over. It's over now, it's just a question of doing it gracefully, 141 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.159 and rumors that will be done this weekend. Yeah, it's over. 142 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.159 It's over. Then the issue is who gets it, and unfortunately it's going 143 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.919 to be Kamala Harris, and she's getting it by virtue of just being there, 144 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:33.639 that's all. But if nothing people were already there and willing to hold 145 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.639 their nose for Joe Biden. Don't you think they'll just hold their nose for 146 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.919 Kamala Harris? No, I think well, certainly, I mean there'll be 147 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.039 Democrats who will, but I don't know that she's going to pull the independent 148 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.200 vote. That's that's my point. That's the point is that there's really no 149 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.399 there there is. I've often said I'm a big fan of Pete Boodhag, 150 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.399 really am. I think he would be absolutely terrific. He's moderate, I 151 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.080 mean, he's on the liberal side. He's a Democrat, and I'm fine 152 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.480 with moderate Republicans. I'm fine with moderate Democrats. I'm fine either way. 153 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.759 Nikki Hayley, I would have loved to see be the nominee, and she 154 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.960 would have gotten my vote. But there's no there there with Kamalae Harris. 155 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.559 And the part that really pisses me off is that the Democrats, a leadership 156 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.279 of the Democratic Party is already saying we're gonna go for it. Joe Biden, 157 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.000 she would make a great president. And this is while he was staying 158 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.120 in the race. He said that. So, I mean, have we 159 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.600 really gotten to that point where it's, you know, by default one thing 160 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.600 about Donald Trump? There's nothing by default with Donald Trump, not even a 161 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.519 little bit. You don't think they could hop over her and put Buddha jedge 162 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.799 or anything like that. And no, they're gonna have to Well, first 163 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.840 of all, they're gonna have to hop over Joe Biden, who's gonna be 164 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:01.559 comatose on the ground that's for starters, then they're no, no, I'm 165 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.799 just gonna get it. He's going to get it. And Trump is the 166 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.960 luckiest guy in the world, in the world, and I mean the good 167 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.320 news lucky that he the bullet. That's a good luck. You know that 168 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.559 that is a good place to be in terms of that luck. But the 169 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.559 rest of it, Look at how lucky he is. What's happening in the 170 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:26.080 Democratic Party imploding right now? Look at how lucky he was with the court 171 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:33.039 cases. Last night he talked about how the dismissal of the document's case vindicated 172 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.159 him, and the case fell apart. It only fell apart, not to 173 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.080 the merits of the case, is because the judge bought this ridiculous argument that 174 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:48.159 somehow the very appointment of Jack Smith, that the Special Council was unconstitutional the 175 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.440 way it was done. So it's and it doesn't matter. By the way, 176 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.159 California, who is it the king with the stats? I think you 177 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.720 did, Amy Where in California it's exactly the same as it was prior to 178 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.799 the deblacle in terms of the support California is baked in. No doesn't matter 179 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.840 what you do. If Joe Biden stays in office and he runs and he 180 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.720 is dead by the time, and let's say he dies. A lot of 181 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.480 arguments already there, but let's say he is actually dead, He'll still get 182 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:26.240 the California vote. That'll happened. Okay, Well, President Harris does have 183 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.159 a nice ring to it. At least that's the word from a lot of 184 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.919 Democrats. They think the vice president would make a good president. They did 185 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.120 a ap Nork Center of for Public Affairs Research poll. Six and ten Democrats 186 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.759 believe Kamala Harris would be a good pick for the top spot spot. About 187 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.200 two and ten do not think she is a good choice, and another too 188 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.120 inten say yeah, I don't know enough to say, yeah, I'd love 189 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.600 to know what those six intend. These are Democrats, of course, keep 190 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:01.039 in mind, you know, it's as Republicans would say, if a Republican 191 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.480 is there, he would do a good job, and in Democrats she would 192 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.720 there. I'll tell you if she gets it, which I think she's going 193 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.080 to. The more people get to know this woman, the fewer supporters she's 194 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.720 going to have. You don't think she has any good traits. I mean 195 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.600 she hasn't shown them as VP. But I have no idea. I don't 196 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.679 know her personally. I do not like Frankly, I just I just don't 197 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.320 think there's any gravitas there, that's all. I just don't think there's any 198 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.000 gravitas there. When she was the attorney general, to remember the lawsuit against 199 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.600 Nielsen in terms of which hit our rating so hard. That's a long story 200 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:46.600 because of the waiting system. Anyway, just for political correctness, she joined 201 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:54.279 California joined that lawsuit, and it was just it didn't have to. It's 202 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.879 a long story. I want to get into that, but it was it 203 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.039 was a political decision as opposed to anything else. It was, I mean, 204 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.919 come on, you know, it was just pandering. And that's what 205 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:10.639 I think she does. She panders. And that's just one example. All 206 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.279 right. This was such a bummer. Bob Newhart is known for his stammering 207 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:23.919 and his deadpand very unflappable personality. Died. Stand up comedian, later television 208 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.919 movie star. Died. He was ninety four years old. One of his 209 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:36.679 best more recent movies was Elf. He was so great in that. But 210 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:41.879 of course the Bob Newhart Show. Yeah, Bob Newhart show was fantastic. 211 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.879 Yes, ninety four years old. I mean, you can't get too upset 212 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.639 about that. Did I ever tell you I actually had lunch with Bob Newhart? 213 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.600 No? Actually I was at the table next to him in a restaurant, 214 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.039 so close enough. Yeah, yeah, and I waved to him. 215 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.440 He kind of ignored me, but I consider that having lunch with him. 216 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.640 Wow. Okay, well that was fast. Evan Gerskevich, the first American 217 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:14.519 journalist to be arrested on espionage charges since the Cold War in Russia anyway, 218 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.680 has been found guilty of spying and was immediately sentenced to sixteen years in prison 219 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:26.000 in a Russian court. The trial only lasted two days. That is a 220 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:32.279 very long trial for something like this in Russia. I mean it was preordained, 221 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.720 no surprise at all. Everybody expected it and they came right through. 222 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.000 I think the only surprise is that the prosecution asked for eighteen years and the 223 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.000 judge came down with sixteen years. Usually it's the other way around, your 224 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.599 honor, we suggest sixteen years. No, no, here's twenty eight. 225 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.000 Enjoy yourself because they do that a lot too. So the poor guy is, 226 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.319 well, he's going to be able to get out, because I think 227 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.720 Putin's already talking about a prisoner swap, although Paul Wheeland has been in for 228 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.519 what six seven years already? Why would you go to that place? You're 229 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.680 crazy, crazy. I would be shocked if there was any reporter from any 230 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:21.559 news outlet sitting, especially American or any European news news outlet. If you're 231 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.960 in Russia. You're right, why would anybody go there? All right? 232 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.839 Netflix continues to find ways to screw you and me. They're going to start 233 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:37.359 phasing out its Basic plan. That's the cheapest advertising free plan costs eleven ninety 234 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.759 nine per month in the United States, and it will go the way of 235 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:48.359 the Dodo bird. Yeah, this is it's now getting to be prohibitively expensive. 236 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.440 You have to choose effectively. One. I'm at two hundred and fifty 237 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.799 bucks and I have the Netflix. I don't know if it's premium or not, 238 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.119 but Standard plan will be fifteen dollars and fifty cents a month. Yeah. 239 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.400 They're just recreating cable at this point. They are now they're making twenty 240 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.480 different cables. Yeah. Yeah, what's you have to buy them all? 241 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.160 Yeah? What's it ever seen? The Standard plan and the premium plan. 242 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.000 I mean, the standard is fifteen fifty and the premium is twenty three bucks 243 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.599 a month. What do you get if it's if you have AD free, 244 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:30.279 you have AD free. So I don't quite understand. Maybe for higher you 245 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.960 know, higher resolution TVs or something, maybe you get eight four K eight 246 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.920 K. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But 247 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:44.599 that's that's a big difference too, all right. So and I like Netflix, 248 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.240 and I like it a lot too, I do. But yeah, 249 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.160 but it's sixteen bucks a month. We're twenty three dollars a month now, 250 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.519 it's getting a little crazy. Standard limits you who downloads on two devices always 251 00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.599 happens. Premium allows up to six got it there, it is, Thank 252 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:06.000 you for that, Amy, You're welcome here. Here he goes again. 253 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.119 President Biden has announced another round of student loan debt forgiveness, this one affecting 254 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.640 thirty five thousand public sector workers, including teachers, nurses, and firefighters. 255 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:21.880 It will cost one point two billion dollars. The Biden administration is already fighting 256 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.319 two legal challenges to other student loan repayment plans that it launched last year. 257 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.079 There were known as the Save the Saving on a valuable education plan. Well, 258 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.240 yeah, the legal issue is does Biden have the authority to do this 259 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.279 without Congress? And those are the fights that are going on. And in 260 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:48.640 the meantime, the underlying issue, should the taxpayer subsidize the Well, it's 261 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.400 the only way this loan forgiveness is subsidized by the taxpayer. And I don't 262 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.799 know. I think it's going to change dramatically with President Trump, by the 263 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.240 way, I think it's it's not going to be too much longer that we 264 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:07.640 stop referring to Donald Trump as former President Trump. All Right, I think 265 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.759 he's going to be President Trump. Just to make it clear, we all 266 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.519 knew where you were going, Okay, I just I didn't. Wasn't super 267 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.680 cryptic. I was a little confused. That's like the person who says I'm 268 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.240 going to go to the bathroom, if you know what I mean. That's 269 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:29.319 a very good point. That's actually a very picking up what you're putting down. 270 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.960 Yes, this story just sucks. The largest housing provider for migrant children 271 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:44.200 engaged in pervasive sexual aboose abuse. So you've got Southwest key programs in and 272 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:51.440 their employees, including supervisors in the like, raped, tortured or solicited sex 273 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.799 and nude images of children beginning in twenty fifteen, maybe even earlier. That 274 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.960 is what the Justice Department is claim in a lawsuit filed just this week. 275 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.839 Yeah, now this is a civil lawsuit. You would think if the accusation 276 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:14.720 against these people is part of their lawsuit, why they haven't been arrested for 277 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.039 this? I don't understand. Well, No, two employees have been indicted 278 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.960 on criminal charges, and so that's okay, So that's too out of I 279 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:29.599 don't know. I would guess tens of thousands of employees will find out how 280 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.519 pervasive this is. But if you notice that, you know, any organization 281 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.599 of any size that deals with anyone who is vulnerable, the accusations are out 282 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:45.079 there. It is are we really that sick as a society? Or is 283 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:52.200 this simply some outliers and that has been blown up? You know, much 284 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:53.839 more? I would imagine. It's not the totality of the areas. No, 285 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.799 I understand, But you know, the point is, for example, 286 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.759 do you think there are any more and I'm going to go back to politics, 287 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:07.160 do you think there are any more rapists and the criminal elements and murderers 288 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:12.519 out of illegal immigrants coming in than there were twenty years ago as a percentage. 289 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.680 I don't hi, there's five people working on the show right now. 290 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.400 One of them is a horrible pervert. So that's twenty percent, right right, 291 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.960 And does that stay? It would that doesn't change never mind. I 292 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.240 don't even know where we're going with that one. But thanks for pointing that 293 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.359 out. Neil's amy, she's filthy. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, 294 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.319 we believe that. All right, guys. Oh, we can do 295 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:38.799 one more and then we'll take a break. Just in time for the Olympics. 296 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:47.599 Lamayor Bass and your favorite bill. Secretary of Transportation Pete Bodhajedge have outlined 297 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:53.640 a new federal funding program for zero emission buses and charging infrastructure that should be 298 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.720 completed in time for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Seventy seven and a half 299 00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:04.839 million dollar project. It'll help the agency purchase dozens of battery electric buses and 300 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:11.319 also install new chargers. Yeah, well, without chargers, they're not going 301 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.400 anywhere. Nobody's going anywhere. That's the problem. And EV well, in 302 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.119 general, we'll do more about that a little bit later on, but the 303 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.720 number of evs that are being sold is dropping. It's not doing well because 304 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.559 there isn't enough infrastructure out there. That's the problem. And so this is 305 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.880 another hit at the infrastructure. Here's some more money, and this is going 306 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.920 to be incremental. This is going to take a long long time to make 307 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:41.640 this whole thing viable. Unfortunately, the act Exam will see changes, including 308 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:47.519 the science portion is going to be optional, which is good because we need 309 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.400 less reason and science in this world. So the exam will be evolving to, 310 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.960 as they say, meet the challenge the challenges students and educators face, 311 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.920 like not being educated, yeahretty much. Still for example, science is hard. 312 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.799 Yeah, that's right. Science is hard. So that's being removed. 313 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:11.720 It's not an option now. English is still one of the cores. Unless 314 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.519 you don't speak English, then it's optional and you can do just fine not 315 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.599 speaking English. Like that. It says this change is designed to make the 316 00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.599 testing experience more manageable for students. Do you really want a manageable testing experience? 317 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.640 You put your name down and you walk out the door. That's manageable. 318 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.720 It's not supposed to be manageable. The whole point is it's supposed to 319 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:38.480 test you. It's supposed to be hard. That's the point. But if 320 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.599 it is hard. And here is the problem. Now we go back to 321 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:48.279 a societal problem. Right, His minorities do worse than whites on these tests, 322 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:55.240 so therefore inherently they are unfair. There was a move when I was 323 00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:00.839 graduating law school and taking the bar that the percentage of African Americans who actually 324 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:07.759 took the bar it's like two three percent, and the percentage of blacks in 325 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.319 California like thirteen percent or across the United States. And so there was a 326 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.799 move among an activist group to change the bar completely, to make it now 327 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.839 through the lens of African Americans. I don't even know what that meant, 328 00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:26.279 but the very lens of what if you're looking at it as a white person, 329 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.920 it is different than looking at it as a minority, Like, I 330 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.400 guess the contract is different, right, I'm going to pay you ten thousand 331 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.000 dollars. You're going to do this for me. I guess it's different if 332 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.559 you're a minority. I don't know, but it's it's you know, I'm 333 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.640 not a big huge fan of calling everything woke and all of that. I 334 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:52.960 gotta tell you this is really depressing. Forget electric hydrogen is where it's at 335 00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.200 California is going to be the first state to get federal funds under a program 336 00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.359 to create regional hubs that will produce hydrogen as an energy source. It's going 337 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.839 to be used for vehicles manufacturing and for generating electricity. Yeah. I mean, 338 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.960 you talk about building an infrastructure, this will It's gonna be hard enough 339 00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:18.200 getting an electrical grid for electrical vehicle charging. This is going to be crazy. 340 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.200 I mean, just okay, We're gonna do pilot programs and it disappears. 341 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.640 I mean, this is trillions of dollars to switch over to hydrogen, 342 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.440 although it is the cleanest fuel out there if you can keep it from exploding, 343 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.160 right, it doesn't explode hydrogen, it doesn't explode. You know what. 344 00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:44.319 Even what's even more flammable and explosive than hydrogen gasoline, And that seems 345 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.599 to work in cars, doesn't it. You know what, No matter what 346 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.480 kind of energy they use in California in the car, they'll still be driving 347 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.519 on crappy roads that are filled with potholes. That's correct, And that technology 348 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.400 is about as base as it gets. It's pretty cast. Fault in the 349 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:08.000 hole you ask, falt whole. Yes. Former lou Dobbs Tonight anchor dies 350 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:15.960 at seventy eight. He political commentator did lou Dobbs Tonight at CNN. If 351 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.200 you remember before it moved the Fox Business, seventy eight years young. Doesn't 352 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:26.319 that seem young? It nowadays? Seventy eight, It just seems very young 353 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.680 to me. Well, you know, the seventy eight is the new seventy 354 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:37.279 nine. Now it's people are getting younger. That's how old the former president 355 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.680 Trump is. That's correct, That's correct. Okay, so bud Light is 356 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.200 not bouncing back. More than a year after the big backlash over bud Light 357 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:56.279 hiring or using a transgender person to promote their beer. The consumer boycott continues, 358 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:03.519 and bud Light has slipped in the rankings for beer sales behind Modelo Especial 359 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:10.119 and michelob Ultra. But Anheuser Busch may not be crying because all three beers 360 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.960 are produced by Anheuser Busch, So what does it matter? But it says 361 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.440 a lot about America and a lot about marketing, because look at this, 362 00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:23.039 You've got Normally you would think this would fall away. Okay, you've got 363 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.160 a trans person, and the transperson does this, and so there's a huge 364 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:32.839 upward. Then it sort of disappears, hasn't disappeared clearly with these numbers. 365 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:40.599 But then again, who drinks beer in great numbers? I don't know beer 366 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:42.599 drinkers are. Well, let's go the other way, the political you would 367 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:48.319 see more people that are conservative, you would see more you don't think democrats 368 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.400 drink beer. Not. Here's what I'm pointing. The big when you see 369 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.000 I've tried to put this together so it makes any sense, you look at 370 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.720 demographics. Let me put it this way. You look at demographics, and 371 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.880 the beer drinkers will be more offended than, for example, champagne drinkers by 372 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:14.160 a transuh, by a trans being a spokesperson, and it is offensive to 373 00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.440 a lot of people. And I'm saying more beer drinkers would be offended than 374 00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:22.319 people who drink sherry or drink whiskey. That's that's it is just a bad 375 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.599 marketing choice, is what happens. Now, if you if they were selling 376 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.079 BoA's and Tutu's, this would work out perfectly, But they're not. It's 377 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.079 beer. Does that make sense? Okay? So some guy picks up a 378 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:45.519 bud light and his friend Cleafus goes whoa pretty much one of them queers? 379 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:51.480 No, no, But I'm saying there's I'm not saying every I'm not saying 380 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.839 that every Kleafus. I'm not saying every beer drinker is a Kleifus, but 381 00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.359 every Kleafus is a beer drinker. Okay, that's where I wanted to go. 382 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.279 And I don't know if any of that work, But kf I am 383 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:06.400 six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You've been listening to the Bill 384 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.519 Handle Show.
