bought new furniture, and we're talking about

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.519
how the arms and the legs were
so expensive. What do you mean the

4
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.920
arm? How about the rest of
it? When the arms of the legs

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.640
are so expensive? Oh you mean
a cost you an arm and a leg?

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.800
Got it? I should have brought

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.879

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.280

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:34.000
now and the story is is Paris
ready for the Olympics. We're getting there.

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.120
You don't have a question about the
Olympics because they change and add events

19
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.920
every Olympics. You know that that
they time change, interest change, and

20
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.879
I think there was a push.
Remember Calvera's county, Calaveras County. Yes,

21
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.319
the big frog jumping right now?
Do you think that they're gonna the

22
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.799
French are gonna have a frog jumping
contest and the losers get cooked up and

23
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.680
they serve them at a delicacy of
frog legs. Huh yeah, it's more

24
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.360
about the frog. What are they
gonna Yeah, the French will jump because

25
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.199
they it's a derogatory term for French. Oh yeah, very much is Oh

26
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.919
yes, enough to where there may
be emails and U if we had an

27
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.599
HR department, department, I would
be hauled in for frog. Huh uh

28
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.240
huh, yeah, I did not
know. Look it up. Okay,

29
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.680
look it up. Derogatory term French
people. Yep, national flag of France.

30
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.400
It's white. Okay, we can
do a lot with that. I

31
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.960
could hear Cono laughing down the hall. He's the only one that laughs.

32
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:53.599
Cono is the only one that laughs
at this stuff. It's good. The

33
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.360
white flag goes good. Yeah,
okay, he's mak you. Yeah,

34
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.919
I've been with you for thirty years, that's true. And then some of

35
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.680
the races, half of them you're
running forwards, and then the other half

36
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:12.159
of the races. Hey, it's
a fune go ahead. They had a

37
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.000
ship in the odorant for all the
people coming from other countries. Yeah all

38
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.800
that, Yeah, okay, fair
enough. It is a Wednesday, Doctor

39
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.759
JIMKINI is coming aboard at eight thirties. He always does. But we have

40
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.960
a lot of stuff to cover.
Let's do it. It's time for Handle

41
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:38.319
on the news with Amy and Neil
and me lead story. Wow fireworks illegal

42
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.400
fireworks every year it's out there where
La County it's not legal. Ventura County

43
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.960
is legal. You know. When
I was a kid, we would drive

44
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.960
right over county lines and pick up
fireworks, you know, the sparklers and

45
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.159
all that stuff. Well, there
was a bust in gardena seventy five tons

46
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:05.000
wow of fireworks. And I'm talking
about some big fireworks, professional fireworks.

47
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.560
I don't think there were a lot
of sparklers in there. No, I'm

48
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.879
talking about the kind that shoot up
in the sky and they explode and do

49
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.079
the colors and stuff, and those
people have to be licensed to do that.

50
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.560
That's as tough as getting a prescription
for an opioid today. Yeah,

51
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.360
you can always tell what your neighborhood
is like if you hear a lot of

52
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.680
fireworks. I hear a lot of
fireworks my neighborhood, and it doesn't matter

53
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.560
what. And there's always a story
about some kid getting his hand blown off

54
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:40.439
every year, and then there's a
story there that the kid can't hitchhike anymore,

55
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.120
and it's horrible. He passed as
someone else, pick his nose.

56
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:50.680
Sad story. Amy, Oh you're
done. Okay, she's all. I'm

57
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.360
out, she quit. I am
completely done. Yeah. Julian Massage is

58
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.199
a free man. The Wiki leaks
founder has walked free for the first time

59
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.839
in twelve years. A US judge
on the Northern Mariana Islands, because he

60
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:08.040
didn't want to have anything done on
actual you know, on the on the

61
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:15.360
mainland, took his plea of releasing
secret US documents and then sentenced him to

62
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.560
served time and released him. And
now he's back in Australia. You know,

63
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.199
I kind of surprise. I think
it was a big express for a

64
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.160
lot of people. Yeah, it
was a plea bargain and it's one count.

65
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.079
I mean there was there was some
big charges against him, one hundred

66
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.759
and seventy five years worth. Yeah, and look at the difference between the

67
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:40.800
time was Daniel Ellsberg and when he
released the Pentagon papers, and now you

68
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.319
have a songe different time, different
place. You know, it's just a

69
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.920
whole mentality of for his Elsberg is
a hero, a hero for releasing those

70
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.839
Pentagon papers, which, by the
way, is the same thing releasing classified

71
00:05:51.839 --> 00:06:01.120
documents about US involvement militarily. All
right, Gosh, if we only had

72
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.000
more money to throw out the problem. A homeless man went on a violent

73
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:10.439
rampage in Santa Monica State Beach.
He attacked three women, and one of

74
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.040
them he even tried to drown in
the Pacific Ocean. The attack occurred on

75
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.600
Monday morning, just north of San
Monica Pier and south of the California incline

76
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:24.399
that we all know and love.
Of course, this guy just needs housing.

77
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.160
We could just get him home,
yeah, maybe with a spot in

78
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.360
it. Oh and he's a sex
offender too. Oh well, now there

79
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.920
you are, so let's give it. I hope he goes to that new

80
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.079
high rise with all the amenities at
six dollars, formally known as skid row

81
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.160
because we can't call it that anymore. No, they call it barely hills.

82
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:53.680
Yeah, so that's they're remarketing.
Yeah. More election results have rolled

83
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.319
in. Who knew yesterday was an
election day in several states. Republican Representative

84
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.600
Lauren Bobert has come out victorious over
five GOP opponents in the primary election for

85
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.639
her new Colorado district. In her
victory party in northern Colorado, she wore

86
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.240
a mega hat and Donald Trump branded
sneakers. Oh, she's the one who

87
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.000
bought them and called for unified GOP
and building bridges with other Republicans. That

88
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:25.160
means that's MAGA talk for if you're
not joining the Donald Trump bandwagon, you

89
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.720
are a trader. Oh is that
what that is? Oh? You bet,

90
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.920
you bet. She to celebrate,
went straight to the theater and started

91
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.800
making out with somebody in the seats. That's so yeah, lovely all right.

92
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.279
President Biden's proclamation, if you remember, issued where he said he was

93
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.360
going to temporarily suspend the entry of
certain non citizens across the southern border.

94
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.399
It's been in effect for about three
weeks now, and of course it's still

95
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.920
early, but the border patrols seven
day encounter average that's what they call when

96
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.600
they meet up with someone not supposed
to be here, has decreased by more

97
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:07.040
than and the number is low enough
to where everybody who is claiming asylum is

98
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.600
going to get an asylum hearing.
Yeah, so it's kind of a If

99
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.439
it works, it's a problem,
right. If it doesn't work, it's

100
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.199
Yeah, it was over twenty five
hundred people that weren't allowed to weren't just

101
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.600
just weren't allowed to claim asylum.
They were hit under the twenty four Night

102
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.279
under right, and we're talking about
people who have crossed the border illegally,

103
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.519
between border crossings legal ones, you
know, like Tija Wan and all that.

104
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.320
It's completely and incidantly it's interesting that
he has done by executive order this

105
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.759
and this can be undone by any
president because he had this is such pandering,

106
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.679
because he had first fought everything in
terms of curtailing the border, and

107
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.000
the Republicans were going crazy and rightly
so, and he said, okay,

108
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.039
okay, you got it. Okay, we'll we'll do a pipartisan deal where

109
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.639
we're stick the border. And Donald
Trump said, no, you don't do

110
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.000
that. And the Republicans immediately turned
around, and you're gonna hear tomorrow night,

111
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.080
border border border border didn't do anything? Yes, Oh no, did

112
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.639
plenty. Joe Biden is h he's
going to try to take the credit for

113
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.039
this, and it's pandering. It's
one pandering that he's doing it. At

114
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.879
this point. I hope they fight. I hope they physically fight tomorrow.

115
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.679
Oh, Biden, Biden is done. You know, he's a big guy,

116
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.399
No Trump. Trump's like six four
six' three. I was with

117
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.919
you when I met him, alongside
you. He's a big guy, like

118
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.399
two hundred and seventy pounds. Okay, I take his tiny little hand.

119
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.919
Yeah, and he grabbed you right, and he grabbed you by the he

120
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.360
said, okay, let's just let's
just move on. Not looking good for

121
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.399
Gerskovic. Evan Gerskovic, who was
the first American journalist to be arrested on

122
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:07.720
espionage charges in Russia since the Cold
War, is on trial. He made

123
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.759
an appearance in a Russian courtroom today. He was in that glass cage.

124
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.840
It shows him with his head shaved. It's a closed door thing, so

125
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.039
you can't have a lot of people
in there. He was arrested reporting for

126
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.200
the Wall Street Journal in twenty twenty
two, and then they later accused him

127
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.879
of spying for the CIA. Yeah, he's in trouble. Ninety nine percent

128
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.799
of people get tried in Russia get
convicted. His only chance, I mean,

129
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:39.039
he will get convicted and do some
will get a serious jail sentence because

130
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.480
he's accused of espionage, which of
course he's quote already guilty. I mean

131
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.639
that's established. His only chance of
getting out is to do an exchange prisoner

132
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.639
exchange. Why would you even go
to Russia? Good, very good point

133
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.360
for anything, very good point.
And it was a reporting trip. He

134
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:00.080
had just been hired by the Wall
Street Journal, and he went to the

135
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.120
city of Ika Terenburg. By the
way, you know what that you know,

136
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:11.480
ikon Terrenberg is where the Romanovs saw
Alexander, I mean sar Nicholas and

137
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.840
Alexander were killed. That's where they
were assassinated. Did you know that?

138
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.240
I do now, sir okay,
I just thought i'd throw that out at

139
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.679
you. I think it's Kershkovitch.
By the way, I thought it was

140
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.679
Gerskovich too, but then ABC's guy
called him Griskovich. Earlier today, so

141
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.600
I'm not one hundred percent sure on
the pronunciation of that. It's not like

142
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.120
it's not like they can't make a
mistake either. It's not true. It's

143
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.960
not just us. Yeah, Okay, Somewhere over there they're going, well,

144
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.039
I heard Amy King from KFI pronounce
it this one. Yeah, I

145
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.639
know. Yeah. Have you noticed
that we bring ABC reporters here. I

146
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.879
don't know the last time, as
you said, a KFI reporter is on

147
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.000
national news over there. I don't
know how that works. Actually, I

148
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.399
think I think we're I think it's
some kind of deal we've cut, that

149
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.519
we can put some kind of affiliate
deal that we cut that we can use

150
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:11.120
ABC reporters. Fascinating. Yeah,
shall I proceed? Yeah. Authorities with

151
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.360
the Azuza Police Department are saying that
new video of the controversial twenty twenty one

152
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.440
arrest. If you remember, this
was of the top aid to Los Angeles

153
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.639
County District Attorney George Gascon that they
say this video is vindication for their police

154
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:33.159
offerers and the police officers' actions.
This was stupid, So this comes out.

155
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.399
They didn't the cops did not have
body cameras on, but apparently this

156
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:46.000
wing nut and I say that because
it's my opinion. He was the LADA

157
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:54.679
chief of staff, Joseph dingas Amy
king anything on that ani Anigas He was

158
00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:00.799
accused of public intoxication. He was
taken into custody back in December of twenty

159
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.759
twenty one. He was with his
fiance who was driving and was also detained

160
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.519
on suspen suspicion of driving well intoxicated. Well, the city just settled for

161
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.279
ten grand. Yeah, but that's
that doesn't mean they didn't. No,

162
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.559
No, they said, hey,
it's just cheaper than going to trial.

163
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.600
But apparently he was saying things like, hey, this conversation is over,

164
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.840
don't answer her any questions to his
fiancee, and he's like, trust me.

165
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.559
He said, you pulled over the
wrong person. Things like check check

166
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.799
our license and who the registration is
and not to see it's it's you pull

167
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.200
over the wrong person. It's you've
pulled over the wrong person. You've made

168
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.799
a mistake. This one is you've
pulled over the wrong person. Look who

169
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.799
you're screwing with. Yeah, and
you can't do that. And the cops

170
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.559
were totally professional, yep, and
so what I and this guy sounds like

171
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.960
a deep bag just like his boss. But what I the way I like

172
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.440
to spin this is everybody go to
Azusa. It's a lovely foothill town.

173
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.480
Go to Azusa and spend lots of
money, eat there, do things so

174
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.320
that they make that ten grand back. I uh, well, it said

175
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.600
you try to use that line.
You you stopped the wrong person when I

176
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.600
was with a copy and then the
cops said that, now you're the one

177
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.240
that blew through the stop sign.
Okay, you know what what do you

178
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.360
say to that car? Do you
know who I am? No? No,

179
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.639
I've been stopped by a cop who's
a KFI fan. And uh,

180
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.080
you know, because I've been pro
cop my entire broadcast career. I mean,

181
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.879
I'm so pro cop that I've been
let go. It's it's just for

182
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.600
that very reason, right, yeah, yeah, it's one of your most

183
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.879
redeeming. KFI is known as a
very pro cop station. You know,

184
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.960
where there's individuals I don't know you
can say KFI. I don't think it.

185
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.879
I don't think anybody has been anti
cop. There are plenty of who's

186
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.440
anti cop. I never understand,
I'm sorry, go to some organizations defund

187
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.480
the police. I don't understand that
dismantle the police. Come on, there

188
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.519
are plenty organizations should be able.
If you believe that, you should be

189
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.120
able to wear a shirt or something, so cops don't have to do anything,

190
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.279
have anything to do with you.
If you're being pummeled on the street,

191
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.080
they can go sorry, yeah,
you've got the defund d on you

192
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.480
getting rid of one tax to put
in another. I love this. The

193
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.879
Ala County Board of Supervisors is voted
unanimously to let voters decide on a sales

194
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.879
tax hike to fund affordable housing and
homeless services. Yeah, and it's going

195
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.759
to pass. Oh great, we
never met a tax we don't like.

196
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.440
Yeah, so this one's going to
get rid of the existing quarter sent sales

197
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:41.000
tax that pays for homeless services and
replace it with a basically permanent half cent

198
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:46.200
sales tax. Yeah. This was
the quarter cent has had a sunset clause.

199
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.200
It was going to go away in
twenty twenty seven. So this one

200
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:54.960
says no. You know what happens
with these taxes all the time is that

201
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.279
they sunset out and then we vote
in it. There was that one tax.

202
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.960
I forget what it was, but
it was it was going to sunset

203
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.879
out and the payment and then it
was it had to do something with teachers,

204
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.200
and I when you run anything about
teachers, I mean they run ads

205
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:21.879
like crazy. And it was I
remember the TV commercials in that you were

206
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:26.639
paying X dollars that were going to
sunset out the next year. And the

207
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.360
vote was to make it permanent.
And the way it was advertised, you

208
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:37.360
will not pay one penny more in
taxes. That's why you want to do

209
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.879
this. Well that's true, but
the point is it's permanent now, so

210
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.000
it's uh, we got permanent.
You make my head hurt. I know,

211
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.840
just that whole thing. It is
just asinine because they get their fix,

212
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.039
their their mainlining money, that's exactly, and then they don't want to

213
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:02.759
go back. And it's forgart.
I'm looking throughout all the news going on

214
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.279
in the TV saying that some homeless
guy is trying to drown a woman in

215
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.400
Santa Monica. Yeah, well that's
an off, that's a one off,

216
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.200
but on off. Well, drowning
someone in Santa Monica, attacking somebody,

217
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:22.799
not attacking attacking well because water was
involved in Now it's the number of homeless

218
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720
who actually attack someone. I mean
it's there, but it's not It is

219
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.200
growing but it's not all in the
thousands. We're not seeing that. We

220
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.200
are seeing in the thousands the increase
of homeless that we're seeing. By the

221
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.160
way, I'm talking at seven o'clock. Newsome in a state of the state.

222
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.359
What do you spend half the time
talking about the homeless? Matter of

223
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.559
fact, he lives in the governor's
mansion. He's asked the legislature to make

224
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:53.720
the governor's mansion a tent, of
course, and his winery all the grapes

225
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.920
they can ask, Oh, that
would be a great campground. Man,

226
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:03.519
Come with me to the French laundry, all right. The entire Bakersfield chapter

227
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.279
of Hell's Angels biker gang has been
arrested on suspicion of crimes including kidnapping,

228
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.279
robbery, and assault, according to
the Kern County Sheriff's office. And when

229
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:22.200
they served eight search warrants, they
seize twenty five guns, ammunition, high

230
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.640
capacity magazines which are illegal, of
course, and gang paraphernalia. Thank god,

231
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.599
we have those tough gun laws so
bad people like this live up.

232
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.799
Wait, No, well, I
think it's I don't think it's the hand

233
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.440
capacity magazines that really is the problem
here. I think it's the fact that

234
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.519
they're Hell's Angels and they're being accused
of kidnapping. Yeah, well, that's

235
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.880
what bad people do. We should
have laws against bad people. We do

236
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:52.759
have laws against what. Shoot,
we also have laws against bad people that

237
00:18:52.839 --> 00:19:00.559
throw hand grenades. What. Well, that should solve it. A cadebra.

238
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.680
Genie Plus is magically changing at both
Disneyland and Disney World. They've had

239
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.759
this thing called Genie Plus for the
last couple of years, and you pay

240
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.599
for the service and you basically get
to skip a lot of the lines.

241
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.799
So instead of like an hour and
a half, you wait like fifteen minutes,

242
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.319
bit you pay twenty five bucks for
the day. Well, they're changing

243
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.400
that because apparently nobody knows what the
heck it is or how it works.

244
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.160
So Genie Plus will be known as
Lightning Lane Multi Passes. Ah, and

245
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.680
do you think they're going to raise
prices on that? Just just sort of

246
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.519
asking. They haven't said if they're
going to raise the prices on that,

247
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.880
but I think it's a good clarification
for them. Under city is confusing.

248
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.640
It takes a little hard all right. Let me ask that question again to

249
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.480
the two Disneyland freaks here in the
audience. Do you let me reask that.

250
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.079
Do you think they're going to raise
prices on that again? Maybe?

251
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:55.559
No, I'm okay with that,
of course you are. I'll take it.

252
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.640
Yeahs, I'll give a quarter percent
tax hike on it. Neil and

253
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:07.200
Amy's entire disposable income goes to Disneyland
tickets. No, it also goes to

254
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.200
Star Wars stuff, Mickey Mouse stuff, a couple of Walt Disney photos.

255
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.880
All right, Michael Phelps, legendary
olympian, we all know who he is.

256
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:26.160
He is ripping the World Anti Doping
Agency and described it as inconsistent and

257
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.799
that these rules, these anti doping
rules, are causing more frustration and especially

258
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.680
with the clean athletes because they want
a fair competition and they're not getting it

259
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:42.559
now. Chinese, of course,
because the US is serious about anti doping,

260
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.960
as is the Chinese, except the
other way. So what is this

261
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:56.400
particular try meta Remember when it used
to be the Russians. Yeah, except

262
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.319
the Russians are out of the Olympics
this time around, So now it's Chinese

263
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:06.640
tri metazidine. It's a drug that
gives you a very long lasting erection.

264
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:15.640
It really just a guess I was
I was impressed that you knew the name.

265
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.000
And then when you said that,
I go, that makes that that

266
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.920
tracks that he'd know what that is. No, they don't. I don't

267
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.200
know what it does. But it's
some sort of performance enthancing exactly. It

268
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.160
gives you long lasting erections. Okay, this might be too soon. A

269
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:37.720
firefighter has an attachment issue, but
it's it's good news though, because his

270
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.240
ear has been reattached. Okay,
So a firefighter is one of eleven firefighters

271
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:49.319
who were injured the other day in
an explosion at a homeless camp near Encino,

272
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.720
and this one it took off his
ear, burned his face, but

273
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:59.640
they have surgically reattached it. The
firefighter was upgraded to stable condition. And

274
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.920
then really, so it's all good
news. It's going to be okay.

275
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.440
Yeah, a couple of things.
We remember when we had said this,

276
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.079
or I had said this is a
propane tank that went up it was a

277
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.400
hand grenade. Yeah, I mean
that's kind of because you're a freaking wild

278
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.799
West. You do anything you want
if you're homeless. Yeah, that's a

279
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.160
good point. And and by the
way, let's give him more money.

280
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.799
Yeah, and he needs a you
can tell which way we go on this

281
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.480
show our politics and they have to
do a second surgery because the first time

282
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:33.319
around they put it the ear on
backwards. Okay, wow, well God

283
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:41.319
bless him to be okay. Yeah, and for defending a fire that probably

284
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.000
had no reason being lit in the
first place. All right, FDA warns

285
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.720
this is like reverse world right here. FDA warrens maker Sarah Lee and Intimate's

286
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:56.640
not to claim foods contain allergens when
they don't. Yeah, now that's interesting.

287
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.799
So normally you have the you know, don't. Yeah, they're life

288
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.599
say they don't. They don't include
things that people can be allergic to,

289
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.000
like peanuts, Yeah, leave that
out. But they're saying these have allergens

290
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:14.559
in them when they don't. And
now they're not. They're not accusing them

291
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:19.559
specifically of any wrongdoing, but just
saying miss branded mother misbranding to help people.

292
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.480
So I you know, I'm looking
through the story and I'm trying to

293
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.880
find is this just a c y
A is this just to cover you know

294
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.400
this the just like, hey,
just say everything has allergens and maybe yeah,

295
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:38.160
yeah this, uh, these foods
are made in this equipment that makes

296
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:45.759
everything because that's legit and of course
it's legit, so you're you're absolutely right.

297
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.319
Mess with Sarah Lee and Intimate's.
Man, yeah, this is a

298
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.240
I didn't know this. This is
a Mexican food giant that owns Intimates and

299
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:02.880
Sarah Lee meanbo Yeah, and they
own what else do they own? Oh?

300
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.519
They make They also the or Wee
they owned. You know, they're

301
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:12.880
wonderful Artisano bread that is Oh my
god, bread is so Thomas's English muffins.

302
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.400
I had one this morning. Oh, very a quick one about Thomas's

303
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.400
English muffins. They're like six bucks
a pack in the supermarket. Costco.

304
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.440
You get four of them for nine
dollars for eight ninety nine four packs of

305
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.400
Thomas's. Yes, wow, go
to Costco. That's the best deal in

306
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.279
the world. What a shocker.
Okay, how much did they pay for

307
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.839
that? They paid nothing because they
don't need to because they've gotten me.

308
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.359
So the war is not yet over
between credit card companies and retailers because a

309
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:56.039
judge overseeing a thirty billion dollar preliminary
settlement between MasterCard, Visa and retailers rejected

310
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:03.960
the deal. So the deal was
that the retailer would have the fees reduced

311
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.200
because you know, every time you
run your card. The retailers get charged

312
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.000
a fee to use master Card and
Visa, so it was going to lower

313
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.200
that, but the settlement was rejected. Yeah, which is weird. And

314
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.240
by the way, the lowering of
and they had agreed to this to point

315
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:25.759
zero four percentage, down from like
two percent or as high as four percent,

316
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.039
that's cute. No, no,
no, no, They were going

317
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:33.200
to reduce it by point zero four
percentage for a minimum three years and point

318
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.759
zero four which you think is ridiculous
with companies this side size, that's more

319
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:45.119
than the GDP of Pakistan, just
that point zero four percent. So I

320
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.160
think this story is about how massive
master Card and Visa are, and it's

321
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.400
the retailers. You're right, two
percent up to four percent they charge the

322
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.759
retailers, these companies. It's a
lot of money. Yeah, like some

323
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.559
a lot of places that you go
won't take an American Express. That's because

324
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.160
it's the best higher. Yeah,
charges hire fees, very expensive, all

325
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.119
right. Yesterday, the La County
Board of Supervisors called for the creation of

326
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.960
a five million dollar pilot program aimed
at helping low income residents eliminate medical debts.

327
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:22.240
So this would target essentially the county's
lowest income with ye. So that's

328
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:29.119
a very interesting question because medical debt
just affects so many people it does what's

329
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.039
horrific. Yeah. Number one cause
of bankruptcy is medical debt. And there's

330
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:36.160
all kinds of issues as to credit
ratings because of medical debt. But this

331
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.960
is a pilot program where the county. If you live in Los Angeles,

332
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.799
you are now paying for the medical
debt for poor people. I also say,

333
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.880
poor people who only drive cars that
are fifteen years old, they are

334
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.680
really nailed up. I think the
county should buy them new cars because they're

335
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:02.599
poor people. It's hey, at
some point, being poor is being poor.

336
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.200
Yeah, but it okay, But
wait a second, because if they're

337
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.400
poor with a fifteen, you know, year old car or poor, you

338
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.599
have a problem with it. But
if they're dirt poor and on the streets,

339
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.079
you think we should throw whatever money
we can at it. Oh,

340
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.720
I don't think I'm just saying I
think the homeless is a big problem.

341
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.039
By the way, I'm just trying
to understand your spectrum of poorness. And

342
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.200
you know, there's an answer to
poverty. There's an answer in dealing to

343
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:33.160
poor people. Get rich, that'll
straighten all of it out. And on

344
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:40.519
this day, his hot crew two
times larger. Okay, we are done.
