Speaker 2: of a contest, one of them being Rodrigo. And I
Speaker 2: had mentioned that Rodrigo will be there in spirit only
Speaker 2: because he has already been deported.
Speaker 3: Gabe, it was his talkback was entirely.
Speaker 2: All in Spanish, very kind.
Speaker 4: Then we found out that another winner used to work for.

Speaker 2: critically important.
Speaker 5: No, nope, we're still working on that.
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, Neil and I will help with the menu.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Neil and I are thinking
Speaker 2: of putting together a KFI night just at the Anaheim
Speaker 2: White House sometime this summer, where he and I are
Speaker 2: going to design the menu, and there is I'm already
Speaker 2: working on my handle part of the menu that I'm
Speaker 2: going to bring to the table.
Speaker 3: Okay, which is absolutely inedible by its.
Speaker 2: Bo that's besides the point. But it's it's going to
Speaker 2: be very strong in one.
Speaker 6: Right, you could destroy the whole reputation of white of
Speaker 6: the White House.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I was. I had an idea for ice cream,
Speaker 2: but I was told that if we do that with
Speaker 2: the ice cream maker, they were going to have to
Speaker 2: throw it away afterwards. So that's kind of off that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's kind of off the table I was doing. I
Speaker 2: was gonna do a smoked cod ice cream and thank you.
Speaker 3: You realize that this is supposed to be edible.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, well, okay, fair enough, all right, you guys ready,
Speaker 2: we got a lot of fun stuff to do. First
Speaker 2: of all, we have Foody Friday that's coming up at
Speaker 2: eight o'clock, some Costco news food and Costco of course,
Speaker 2: and then asps club news too. There's some Sam's Club news,
Speaker 2: which I don't go to. I don't know where. Then,
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't think I've ever gone
Speaker 2: into a Sam's Club.
Speaker 3: They're they're great, there's just not as many of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of days ago, I went to both
Speaker 2: Costco and Trader Joe's same same day.
Speaker 4: Do you change outfits or do you, like, uh, get
Speaker 4: the lipstick off your collar before you go to the
Speaker 4: other ones?
Speaker 2: No, I put a mask on. Yeah, I put a
Speaker 2: hoodie on and where a black mask. So people think
Speaker 2: I'm going to bomb the place. But no, when I
Speaker 2: go to Trader Joe's, because when I go to Trader Joe's,
Speaker 2: it's spelled tr A tr ai t o R Trader
Speaker 2: Joe's because of you see costco guy. All Right, fair enough,
Speaker 2: let's do it, guys. We've got plenty to talk about today.
Speaker 2: I'll also ask handle anything a thirty to nine So Friday,
Speaker 2: we always have a good time. Here we go, it's
Speaker 2: time for news. Handle on the news with Amy and
Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story. All Right, it doesn't get
Speaker 2: more delicious than this. It truly doesn't. Not only the
Speaker 2: entertainment value, but this is not earthshaking in the sense
Speaker 2: of it's not destroying economy, it's not dealing with immigration,
Speaker 2: things that are fairly important, no matter which side of
Speaker 2: the coin you're on. This is pure entertainment. Now, it's
Speaker 2: the fight between Trump and Elon Musk. And I had said,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people had said, when must started
Speaker 2: getting Musk started getting all of the attention when he
Speaker 2: became head of Doze and was at the White House
Speaker 2: constantly slept there A few nights maybe with Trump. I
Speaker 2: don't know. And I said, man, this is not going
Speaker 2: to last. You got two egomaniacs, one Donald Trump, the president,
Speaker 2: the other one the richest guy in the world. It
Speaker 2: is not going to work out. So there was a
Speaker 2: first hint of a problem when Trump, when Musk left Doge.
Speaker 2: It has devolved into a full fight between the two.
Speaker 2: It's almost fisticuffs. So we're going to talk more about it.
Speaker 2: And yesterday it literally dissolved into this public fight. And
Speaker 2: not only it's mainly on social media, but it's tremendous.
Speaker 4: It is the best. It is public breakup in history.
Speaker 4: It is fantastic. It is so magical. I saw some
Speaker 4: fake posts two that were hilarious. One where Trump was
Speaker 4: telling Elon that he wanted his records back, even his
Speaker 4: Abba albums that he said he could keep. He wants
Speaker 4: those back. But it is ugly. Elon posted a photo
Speaker 4: of the promotional poster for the movie Kill Bill, referencing
Speaker 4: the bill the Big Beautiful Bill killed the Bill.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 4: So he's saying that Epstein the files won't come out.
Speaker 4: In the Epstein files won't come out because Trump's all over.
Speaker 2: It, and there's no and by the way, there's no evidence,
Speaker 2: and he could be named in the file. We're talking
Speaker 2: about Musk accusing Trump of being named in the Epstein file.
Speaker 2: The number of people who Epstein named in the files
Speaker 2: are incredible because the guy was a socialite New York.
Speaker 2: Everybody knew everybody well.
Speaker 6: And even said he knew Epstein, but he said yea,
Speaker 6: the kind of ended their face.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't die. And even if he
Speaker 2: didn't think he was a creep big deal, who the
Speaker 2: hell knew at that point. So anyway, we're gonna do
Speaker 2: a lot of this at seven o'clock.
Speaker 6: See, I tell you guys on wake up call that
Speaker 6: Bill would be digging into this one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. It's a schoolyard. It's a school yard,
Speaker 2: school yard fight. It's my dad is bigger than your dad,
Speaker 2: and my schwantz is bigger than your schwants That's where
Speaker 2: it's come to.
Speaker 3: It's so ugly. I you and I go out the
Speaker 3: same way.
Speaker 2: No, it's not you, No, No, I disagree. It's not ugly.
Speaker 2: It's like a sharpay is so ugly. It's beautiful, and
Speaker 2: this is so ugly. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4: Yes, the big beautiful pizza sales are going through the roof.
Speaker 5: You know's is that Trump didn't start this.
Speaker 2: When you think about it, No he didn't. You're right, yeah, No,
Speaker 2: you're right. Trump held back, Actually he did, and then
Speaker 2: it just got to be too much. He just kept
Speaker 2: you must kept on. He kept on, prodding the bear,
Speaker 2: prodding the bear. And you're absolutely right, Amy, and then
Speaker 2: he finally broke down. I don't think. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he if Trump has gotten personal yet with us
Speaker 2: personal personal, I don't know if personal.
Speaker 5: He said he would win, he would have won without him, right.
Speaker 2: That's not personal and that's not a personal attack. And
Speaker 2: then he's going to cancel and he's going to cancel
Speaker 2: some contracts. Yeah, yeah, but he doesn't.
Speaker 5: Say he's like a low down dirty dog or anything.
Speaker 5: He must kind of have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, he called him something, uh, marginal Musk.
Speaker 3: He started with name called it's yeah, it's it's good.
Speaker 2: I can't yeah, don't make up nollent. Yeah, absolutely all right.
Speaker 3: Is this gonna split MAGA in half?
Speaker 4: I mean, are they no now and dat are foul?
Speaker 2: Oh No, Musk is going to lose this one big time.
Speaker 2: There's no chance anybody could go against Trump with his supporters.
Speaker 6: Must value on the stock market. Is stock tanked like
Speaker 6: fourteen percent?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I know, way way down. Okay, seven o'clock
Speaker 2: to do a lot more than this. It's just too
Speaker 2: good to be true.
Speaker 5: Just let us be please.
Speaker 6: California and three other states have petitioned the US Food
Speaker 6: and Drug Administration to ease restrictions on the abortion pill
Speaker 6: mif of pristone. They say the drug's got a proven
Speaker 6: safety record and says the limits that have been placed
Speaker 6: on it are unnecessary. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says
Speaker 6: the medication is a lifeline for millions of women who
Speaker 6: need access to time sensitive, critical healthcare, especially low income
Speaker 6: women and those who live in rural and underserved area.
Speaker 2: Is. Yeah, they're Kennedy out doing himself. And you know
Speaker 2: the hearings that are coming up in again about vaccines.
Speaker 2: He's going to bring in an eight year old who's
Speaker 2: not going to say anything and won't look anybody in
Speaker 2: the eye prove positive as to what's going on. That's
Speaker 2: another one who's nuts. RFK all right.
Speaker 4: The judge in the Shawn Ditty Comb's case delivered a
Speaker 4: strong warning to Shawn Comb's and his lead council yesterday.
Speaker 4: I guess what was happening is you had Sean didty
Speaker 4: Comb's vigorously nodding to testimony. I'm guessing maybe shaking his
Speaker 4: head no while directly eyeing the jury, which is forbidden,
Speaker 4: right Bill, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can. Absolutely, you cannot look at the jury.
Speaker 2: You cannot in any way gesticulate. You cannot none of that.
Speaker 2: You have to sit there, remain stoic. Well, occasionally people's
Speaker 2: but there's not much they can do about that.
Speaker 4: Isn't he accused of gesticulating someone that's not bad, that's
Speaker 4: not bad. In this particular case, the judges said that
Speaker 4: he's going to be removed if he does it even
Speaker 4: once more.
Speaker 2: There have been some great cases. Charles Manson was tossed
Speaker 2: out first of all. I think the first time out,
Speaker 2: what did the judge do? I think he put duct
Speaker 2: tape on his mouth over his mouth as he sat there.
Speaker 2: They shackled him because he was so outrageous, then threw
Speaker 2: him out of the courtroom and had to watch the
Speaker 2: trial in another room. So there are people that do that,
Speaker 2: and you know it just that's really a way to
Speaker 2: piss off the judge. But you know, it's this guy
Speaker 2: is I'm guessing he is going to be convicted and
Speaker 2: will spend the rest of his life in prison. That's
Speaker 2: my guess.
Speaker 3: One can hope.
Speaker 6: Will the duck talk Half Oversight Chair James Comer has
Speaker 6: subpoened a former President Biden's White House physician. It's doctor
Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connor. They initially invited O'Connor to come in for
Speaker 6: to do it, to have a transcribed interview, but then
Speaker 6: the doctor said, nah, he can't make it. They cited
Speaker 6: legal and ethical obligations as well as physician patient privilege.
Speaker 6: So the subpoena comes as President Trump orders an investigation
Speaker 6: into some of the things that Biden did with his
Speaker 6: auto pen and also cites his predecessor's cognitive decline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the question I have because the doctor
Speaker 2: patient privilege is a privilege that's pretty high up on
Speaker 2: the food chain where doctors do not share information about patients.
Speaker 2: This is the President United States, This is a guy
Speaker 2: who runs a free world, is what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Does a doctor have the obligation? Yep? And is there
Speaker 2: enough there? I mean, I agree that there should be
Speaker 2: an investigation, is because if the doctor is part and
Speaker 2: parcel of covering up cognitive inabilities that our president had.
Speaker 2: That I don't know if that's criminal or not. I
Speaker 2: have no idea. It may not be, because I don't
Speaker 2: think we've ever had that issue come before the courts.
Speaker 2: But man, I think there should be some consequences. You
Speaker 2: can't do that. You can't cover up the fact that
Speaker 2: the president has cognitive disabilities. Give me a break. So normally,
Speaker 2: where this would be political in nature, which by the way,
Speaker 2: I think it very well may be political in nature
Speaker 2: because this is Republicans, and every time a Republican attacks
Speaker 2: a Democrat, it's somewhere's politics, and when Democrats attack Republicans,
Speaker 2: they're politics in there.
Speaker 4: But this is the other day bill that sometimes they're
Speaker 4: not mutually exclusive, and they are not mutually exclusive.
Speaker 2: That is correct, much like Donald Trump with his convictions, right,
Speaker 2: was it purely political? No, it was political. But does
Speaker 2: that mean he didn't do it? Does that mean that
Speaker 2: he wasn't guilty of for example, that document case. So anyway,
Speaker 2: I think everybody who was involved in hiding from the
Speaker 2: American people the problems that Biden had should should be
Speaker 2: held accountable for that. I don't know what that means
Speaker 2: in terms of accountability.
Speaker 4: But the autopin are they basically saying things were signed
Speaker 4: without his cognity?
Speaker 2: I don't know. No autopins are known. They're saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: auto pins is how many documents does the president signed
Speaker 2: in a given day?
Speaker 3: I get why you have them.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that if somebody was having that done
Speaker 4: when he didn't have the ability to do it, then
Speaker 4: somebody wasn't. President is signing documents, which is scary.
Speaker 2: All of it is scary, all of it. Hiding this
Speaker 2: from the public is crazy making. But then again morning, yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you. J jfk was deathly ill had Addison's. Uh
Speaker 2: his cognitive abilities were fine, but he has some very
Speaker 2: very serious physical ailments. Yep. John F. Kennedy really, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: he was a very sick man, very sick.
Speaker 5: It's Addison's.
Speaker 2: Uh it's a disease named after doctor Addison. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it. Uh, you know what, I I don't
Speaker 2: know exactly what addison is Addison's. I think it's a neurological,
Speaker 2: uh disease. You're looking that up? Yes, yes, say I
Speaker 2: should know that. I should know what Addison's is, and
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 6: Chronic condition where the adrenal glands don't produce enough of
Speaker 6: the hormones cortisol and.
Speaker 5: Al dosterone.
Speaker 6: Yes, due to an autommune attack against the adrenal glands.
Speaker 6: Without treatment, it can be life threatening.
Speaker 2: All right, So it's close enough. I'll take it. I'll
Speaker 2: take it.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 4: An economic study commissioned by Disney says that Disneyland and
Speaker 4: Disney World had an economic impact of nearly sixty seven
Speaker 4: billion dollars nationwide that supported more than four hundred thousand
Speaker 4: jobs across the United States. This was the Oxford Economics
Speaker 4: Report and analyzed the impact of Disneyland Resort Anaheim in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three and then Walt Disney World resort in Orlando,
Speaker 4: Florida in twenty twenty two to come up with these
Speaker 4: overall numbers. But that puts here in Southern California. Put
Speaker 4: sixteen point one billion dollars in Southern California's pocket that
Speaker 4: directly and indirectly supported more than one hundred and two
Speaker 4: thousand jobs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm assuming by far the largest eplowyer in
Speaker 2: Orange County.
Speaker 3: I would imagine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Russia is not letting up Russia launched a barrage
Speaker 6: of drones and Blissa missiles across Ukraine early this morning
Speaker 6: local time. At least four people were killed dozens of
Speaker 6: others were injured. It happened days after Kiev launched that
Speaker 6: raid on Moscow's fleet of strategic bombers and did a
Speaker 6: lot of damage. Ukraine's president Zelensky said Russia had used
Speaker 6: more than four hundred drones and forty missiles in the
Speaker 6: overnight attack, making it among the largest since the war started.
Speaker 2: YEP. And after the conversation that President Trump had with Putin,
Speaker 2: Putin basically said, I'm not stopping done. I'm just not stopping.
Speaker 2: And so I think the President misread the not only
Speaker 2: the intent, but misread the what Putin was going to
Speaker 2: do and what Zalnzia was going to do. He thought
Speaker 2: he would be able to end the war. Remember day one,
Speaker 2: the war is over, not quite even to the point
Speaker 2: he said, let him duke it out, because his influence
Speaker 2: that seems to be really minimal in terms of that war.
Speaker 2: I think, same thing with the Arab with the is
Speaker 2: Hamas Israel war, same thing.
Speaker 3: They're complicated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of complications, the Pentagon is planning to put
Speaker 4: its military oversight of Greenland under US Northern Command. This is,
Speaker 4: according to a report, largely symbolic gesture, but it's an
Speaker 4: interesting time as President Donald J. Trump continues to press
Speaker 4: for the world's largest island to break from Denmark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it keeps ongoing with that one, as if Denmark
Speaker 2: is going to give up Greenland or Greenlanders are going
Speaker 2: to give up being part of Denmark. We talked about
Speaker 2: the symbolic, it's actually look at why right now under
Speaker 2: the US European Command, right what does the European Command
Speaker 2: oversee Europe? So Greenland is attached to Europe, and with
Speaker 2: the President doing no, no, it's the Northern Command outside
Speaker 2: of Europe that we're going to put the overseeing military
Speaker 2: oversight of Greenland. So it's a move that effectively says, hey,
Speaker 2: Denmark does not have anything to do with this, and
Speaker 2: we're going to grab Greenland and either going to buy
Speaker 2: it or they're going to vote to join US, who
Speaker 2: the hell knows. But that's not going to happen either.
Speaker 2: Now there will be a treaty for the rare earths.
Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, Denmark is a strong ally
Speaker 2: of the US anyway, all right, moving on blocked again.
Speaker 6: A federal judge is halted President Trump's latest attempt to
Speaker 6: stop international students from going to Harvard University. The temporary
Speaker 6: restraining order was issued hours after Harvard urged a district
Speaker 6: judge to step in on an emergency basis to block
Speaker 6: the proclamation that Trump signed the day before. It suspends
Speaker 6: international visas for new students at the Ivy League university.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how far that goes. Lawsuits are coming. Hey, guys,
Speaker 2: let's take an early break and we will come back
Speaker 2: and I'll give a whole lot more time. Okay, Kono,
Speaker 2: do you have to go to the bathroom? Well, I
Speaker 2: got to throw up. Actually, my stomach and my I'm
Speaker 2: not feeling well. All right, more handle on the news,
Speaker 2: actually the Senate shit, No more handle on the news,
Speaker 2: will be Let's start Amy. Nope, Neil your story.
Speaker 3: Man, I know, listen, yeah, I know you're not well,
Speaker 3: but I.
Speaker 2: Am not feeling well. No, don't be concerned. I just go.
Speaker 2: You know, thank God, there's a bathroom where I can
Speaker 2: throw up ten minutes, ten feet from here.
Speaker 3: I'm concerned about the show. I'm concerned about tomorrow.
Speaker 2: We're gonna oh, I'll be fine for tomorrow. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: A free meal? I don't care if I'm throwing up
Speaker 2: in my plate. You know, I don't say no to
Speaker 2: a free meal.
Speaker 5: I don't know that would be pleasant for the rest
Speaker 5: of us.
Speaker 2: Ask me if I care. It's like it's a lot
Speaker 2: of regurgitation. It's like your favorite Oh, it's like your eagle. Okay,
Speaker 2: how they feed their young.
Speaker 4: So Handel's talked about the earliest of reverse discrimin discrimination
Speaker 4: cases before on the show, but now judges ruled nine
Speaker 4: to zero in a case where Marlene Ames argued she
Speaker 4: was denied a promotion because she is heterosexual.
Speaker 3: That cysts you. The US Supreme Court made it easier.
Speaker 4: On Thursday for people from majority backgrounds like whites or
Speaker 4: straight individuals, to pursue claims alleging workplace reverse discrimination, So.
Speaker 3: This I guess.
Speaker 4: She argued that she was denied a promotion within the
Speaker 4: Ohio Department of Youth Services because she's heterosexual. A lesbian
Speaker 4: was hired for the job instead, and then Ames was
Speaker 4: eventually demoted to a lower position with lower pay, with
Speaker 4: a gay man taking her previous.
Speaker 5: Role, and her boss was gay. That's what she was passed.
Speaker 2: This is pretty blatant. I mean, this story it really
Speaker 2: has to do. It's a technical issue because to reverse discrimination,
Speaker 2: normally you have to prove it that the employer has
Speaker 2: a history of discriminating against the majority group racially. That's
Speaker 2: already been proved, that's been established. There was a case
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two Baki versus the Regents of the University
Speaker 2: of California, which a white guy was denied entrance to
Speaker 2: medical school and an African American was put in place
Speaker 2: and did not meet the same qualifications as the white
Speaker 2: did per the school's requirement, per that you see. And
Speaker 2: it went up and he won. Court said, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't do that. Race cannot be the determining factor.
Speaker 2: And this one now is you're talking about if someone
Speaker 2: is straight, cannot be discriminated on the basis of being straight.
Speaker 2: So it's going both ways. Court says, discrimination is discrimination.
Speaker 3: No, she doesn't go both ways. That was the problem.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, talk talk talk, talk talk. Apparently China and
Speaker 6: the US are going to talk some more. So President
Speaker 6: Trump and President She had a about an hour hour
Speaker 6: and a half talk too. They're at an impasse, of
Speaker 6: course with the trade tariffs, and the US is accusing
Speaker 6: China not making good on the deal that they made
Speaker 6: to lower tariffs and all of that. So President Trump
Speaker 6: said the call was very positive and both sides have
Speaker 6: agreed to hold more trade talks in hope of breaking
Speaker 6: that impass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Let me tell you what's going on.
Speaker 2: They're playing chicken with each other, Orange Chicken. This is
Speaker 2: a real fight between these two. And I think she
Speaker 2: is going to win on this one. You think, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think a couple of reasons. Even though China is
Speaker 2: going to be hurt more than the United States, probably China.
Speaker 2: The people of China have a history of sucking it
Speaker 2: up and going through some really bad times with the
Speaker 2: leadership saying suck it up during Maos time during civil war.
Speaker 2: They just do it. They're just a very stoic group people. Also,
Speaker 2: you have a leadership a complete dictatorship there too, which helps.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. And when the President says constructive talks, right,
Speaker 2: it's or productive talks, it's that's political speech for we
Speaker 2: went no place.
Speaker 4: This is an interesting story. The number of newborns in
Speaker 4: Japan is just decreasing, but faster than projected. So the
Speaker 4: number of annual births falling to another record low last year.
Speaker 4: This is government data that they have. This is data
Speaker 4: in this country is rapidly aging, shrinking population. So the
Speaker 4: concern is about sustainability of the economy. Of course, national
Speaker 4: security need young people to protect and.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really simple. I mean, we're going through here
Speaker 2: are the numbers. It's just math. The more young people,
Speaker 2: the fewer young people that are born, the fewer people
Speaker 2: that will work or will have a lifetime of work
Speaker 2: to support the older people. Because people retire, and when
Speaker 2: you have you don't sustain the retirees. You don't have
Speaker 2: an economy, much like so security. So security started with
Speaker 2: five I think it was five employee employees supporting every
Speaker 2: single retired person, and then only for a very short
Speaker 2: period of time. People didn't last much past sixty five.
Speaker 2: And now I think you have two people supporting retirees
Speaker 2: and they last forever. Who they hell dies at sixty
Speaker 2: five or sixty seven, eighty more? Nobody and they were.
Speaker 4: Was it the norm for people to uh to retire
Speaker 4: at fifty five.
Speaker 3: Sixty five, sixty But at one time was it the norm?
Speaker 5: Because no, so you used to work until right before
Speaker 5: you died.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sixty five, I mean a sociority kicked in
Speaker 2: in thirty nineteen thirty five or nineteen thirty six under FDR.
Speaker 2: And the point is it was a safety net obviously,
Speaker 2: so people didn't starve to death, and it was but
Speaker 2: sixty five was chosen because that's when people got old
Speaker 2: and the retirement plan kicked in. Now it makes no
Speaker 2: sense mathematically, which is why retirement today, I think is
Speaker 2: sixty seven. And you're going to see benefits go down
Speaker 2: because there are fewer workers that are paying into the
Speaker 2: social security because there are fewer people. With Japan that's exacerbated.
Speaker 2: That's one of the worst places in the world. It's
Speaker 2: a mess.
Speaker 5: Put that phone down.
Speaker 6: State Appeals Court has ruled that the state law prohibiting
Speaker 6: drivers from texting or talking on the cell phone while
Speaker 6: driving also makes it illegal to even hold the phone
Speaker 6: to look at a map on the screen. So if
Speaker 6: you're using your GPS, better have the phone on a
Speaker 6: mount because just looking at the map on the screen
Speaker 6: with the phone in hand can justify being pulled over
Speaker 6: and being ticketed.
Speaker 2: Now, didn't you think that only speaking on the phone
Speaker 2: handheld would get you in trouble. But looking at a
Speaker 2: map in your hand that you got to pass on that.
Speaker 3: No, my understanding is you can't have it in your
Speaker 3: hand at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just can't have it in your hand. Period.
Speaker 2: Well, clearly that's what the law says, and the trick
Speaker 2: is not to have it. Well, if you're going to
Speaker 2: have it in your hand, well how do they know
Speaker 2: they're speaking? What if you're hanging on to it. Now,
Speaker 2: you're allowed to drive with one hand, that's not illegal.
Speaker 2: So if you're going to speak into the phone, just
Speaker 2: just be a ventriloquist and don't move your lips. You'll
Speaker 2: do just fine. This is analysis, Okay, this is why
Speaker 2: I'm here getting paid the big bucks for stuff like that.
Speaker 3: You put dass in analysas all right.
Speaker 4: Paramount Global chairwoman, the controlling shareholder, Sherry Redstone, is battling cancer.
Speaker 4: She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is going, you know,
Speaker 4: obviously going through that with her family. The prognosis is excellent.
Speaker 4: But this comes, you know, like eleven months after she
Speaker 4: agreed to sell Paramount to David Ellison's sky Dance Media
Speaker 4: and so to be doing juggling that big massive sale
Speaker 4: and being sick has got to be crazy difficult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look at the politics here. Donald Trump sues
Speaker 2: CBS over a sixty minute piece and says it was
Speaker 2: it was an edited interview with Kamala Harris, and therefore
Speaker 2: fraud was perpetrated on the American people and to make
Speaker 2: him look bad and make him look and make her
Speaker 2: look good. He sues for twenty billion dollars. That lawsuit
Speaker 2: has no merit whatsoever. It is a ridiculous lawsuit. And
Speaker 2: you know what paramount is doing. What she is doing
Speaker 2: negotiating with the president to cave already CBS already she
Speaker 2: has said, will cave. Why because she is selling the
Speaker 2: company to Skydance. She has to have okay to it.
Speaker 2: She has to have a governmental okay. The government can
Speaker 2: stop it. And she wants the government to allow the sale.
Speaker 2: And if Trump is mad, we are going to cowtow
Speaker 2: to Trump. We will apologize and we will end. They're
Speaker 2: negotiating how much money CBS is going to pay. And
Speaker 2: since Trump doesn't need the money, it goes. I think
Speaker 2: it's to the Presidential Library, Trump's Presidential library, but it is.
Speaker 2: It's a troup that and by the way, all interviews
Speaker 2: are edited, all of them.
Speaker 4: You can't edit it for you can't edit it that way.
Speaker 4: I don't know why you keep saying that they're editing.
Speaker 4: They're not talking about the fact that it was shortened
Speaker 4: for time. They're talking about that it was crafted. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but hang on a minute, Hold on a minute. They're
Speaker 4: saying that substantially. That's not true.
Speaker 2: I wish it would go to trial because I know
Speaker 2: how sixty minutes work. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 2: that they do edit to make her look better.
Speaker 5: I don't buy that they did in this case, though. Bill.
Speaker 6: They took an interview, they aired part of the interview,
Speaker 6: and then when it aired again, it was different. They
Speaker 6: had changed it, and she sounded better and more articulate
Speaker 6: than the first time.
Speaker 2: All right, well, let me ask you this. They still edited,
Speaker 2: because you know, I have experience with sixty minutes. I
Speaker 2: was interviewed by sixty minutes. I had a second on it.
Speaker 2: I was in front of that camera for probably two hours,
Speaker 2: and they gave me a couple of minutes. It's what
Speaker 2: they do, edited one hundred percent, making me look a
Speaker 2: whole lot better because the producer happened to like what
Speaker 2: I was doing. In surrogacy. She had me pro surrogacy.
Speaker 2: It was a pure edit to make me look good
Speaker 2: because I was a blubbered and blabbered and I was
Speaker 2: off on tangents much like I do here.
Speaker 5: But they didn't air the one where you were bluffing
Speaker 5: and blathering. I understand it.
Speaker 2: But they made but to make her look better is
Speaker 2: not fraud. Is not fraud on the American people. They
Speaker 2: did it to make her look better asient. Bill, I
Speaker 2: know you know what. I don't buy it. And by
Speaker 2: the way, where is the damage? Okay, so he's silly
Speaker 2: for twenty billion dollars? Now what he won? The he won?
Speaker 3: I saw your sixty minutes hit. They should have edited short.
Speaker 2: They should have edited me out. I understand. Okay, we're done. Guys.
