Speaker 1: morning and Will Will. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4: Uh, we're working on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean good morning. I see a very red you.
Speaker 1: And so you must have been out in the sun
Speaker 1: for five hours yesterday. Now it's the lighting.
Speaker 4: I'm in the dark office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, fair enough. By the way, what dark office
Speaker 1: are you winning? Because there's no way any of us
Speaker 1: are in an office anymore.
Speaker 4: The one in the corner.
Speaker 1: Oh I used I used to be in an office.
Speaker 1: All of was say, and Neil used to have an office.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 1: I now I get I share a cubicle with four
Speaker 1: other people. It gets a little tight, that's for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: real quick. Uh a story Amy did which was kind
Speaker 1: of interesting about coyotes and how coyotes, uh do uh
Speaker 1: coyote stay away from wealthy neighborhoods. And before I moved
Speaker 1: into my new place, which is sort of a i'd
Speaker 1: say wealthy minus upper middle class area. I think that's
Speaker 1: fair to say. There was our dog, little Gucci, was
Speaker 1: attacked by a coyote and I shared that with you,
Speaker 1: and she was horrific. She was attacked and survived. So
Speaker 1: we take her to the VET and the vet does
Speaker 1: surgery and that was four thousand dollars. And then Gucci
Speaker 1: needed another surgery and we're told and we take her
Speaker 1: to the VET for a follow up. She needs another surgery. Okay,
Speaker 1: how much is that sixteen thousand dollars? Now, I let
Speaker 1: me point something out. There is no dog or child
Speaker 1: in the world that is worth sixteen thousand dollars for surgery.
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out as a starter.
Speaker 1: So we put Gucci down because infection set in and
Speaker 1: all of that, and she looks at it. You're really
Speaker 1: gonna let me die? Yes, yes, we did. And so
Speaker 1: I move into my new place and the first thing,
Speaker 1: and we're on a little hill and we look down
Speaker 1: and there's a hill coming up with a lot of vegetation,
Speaker 1: and it would be fairly easy, more difficult than what
Speaker 1: we had in our previous house, but a little bit
Speaker 1: more difficult to jump over the fence. I put up
Speaker 1: coyote fencing that's forty feet high in my backyard, and
Speaker 1: then coyote rollers on the side of my house where
Speaker 1: I have neighbors. And these are rollers on top of
Speaker 1: the fence that you as soon as someone tries to
Speaker 1: get on the fence, they roll because they're real slippery
Speaker 1: rollers that just you can't.
Speaker 4: Have any wall built.
Speaker 1: The wall I did. I did, and then oh no,
Speaker 1: beyond that. Beyond that, then I electrified the fence. Anybody
Speaker 1: gets near it, they are zapped instantly. By the way, illegal.
Speaker 1: And I bought two dogs bread. I mean they're four
Speaker 1: feet tall, weigh two hundred pounds each. Bread to eat
Speaker 1: tot coyotes. That's what they do. They go after coyotes.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you give them some great food that'd
Speaker 1: rather have coyotes. And let's not forget the shotguns that
Speaker 1: I keep by my bedside, and not to defend myself
Speaker 1: to go after coyotes. What is going on? I'm hearing
Speaker 1: something coming through. Oh okay, So anyway, so there's your
Speaker 1: story about coyotes, which by the way, is a complete croc.
Speaker 1: I might add because I don't believe it because in
Speaker 1: wealthier neighborhoods there's better food and coyotes understand that.
Speaker 4: Okay, higher end dogs to eat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 5: But the story says that that the coyotes figured out
Speaker 5: that people in the wealthier neighborhoods basically do stuff to
Speaker 5: get them out. They'll catch them and kill them or
Speaker 5: real oh yeah, that's it. So they've adapted and they
Speaker 5: don't go into those areas because.
Speaker 1: They know that it's not I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I necessarily buy that. I mean, they're very,
Speaker 1: very smart. And then one of the things is there's
Speaker 1: there are companies out there that humanely catch coyotes and
Speaker 1: release them into poor neighborhoods. Maybe that's maybe that's what happens,
Speaker 1: and the wealthy people can to afford those folks.
Speaker 4: That's why KNO doesn't go into neighborhood.
Speaker 1: I know then, I say, I did say hello to Will. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Well. We have news. We have news today,
Speaker 1: and let's start with what happened midnight this morning. Lead story.
Speaker 1: Terrorists kicked in on Mexican and Canadian imports, and Trump
Speaker 1: as recently as yesterday said I don't know, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: make the tariffs won't be as onerous. Well, he kicked
Speaker 1: in with full board tariffs, and Canada and Mexico immediately
Speaker 1: set up retaliation, full retaliation. It's a trade war. And
Speaker 1: then China is twenty percent of there were not all
Speaker 1: goods now, and with China it's twenty percent. And it
Speaker 1: is a trade war. And the economists and the markets
Speaker 1: are reeling. Trump said he would fight inflation day one,
Speaker 1: mark my words. And this whole lot of people are
Speaker 1: saying this. Prices are going to go up, up, up.
Speaker 1: Car industry is going to get nailed. Plan on spending
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars more for a new car, plan on
Speaker 1: spending a lot more for avocados and produce. It's going
Speaker 1: to be. It's gonna be tough. It's going to be tough.
Speaker 1: Now Trump has changed his tune. He said, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt for a while, but long term, it's going
Speaker 1: to be great for us. By the way, that may
Speaker 1: be true, because with tariffs in place like this, companies
Speaker 1: will be forced to manufacture in the United States. The
Speaker 1: problem is tariff started last night. Build a factory in
Speaker 1: twenty four hours someplace.
Speaker 3: We'll just get one of those three D printers.
Speaker 1: You could do it, Yeah, a car factory. Yeah, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 5: You mentioned they're already slapping back. China and Canada retaliated
Speaker 5: with tariff's on American goods, which could ignite that trade
Speaker 5: war that you're just talking about. The tariffs threatened to
Speaker 5: raise prices Americans pay for goods imported from the three nations,
Speaker 5: which collectively shipped one point for trillion dollars worth of
Speaker 5: goods to the US last year. That's forty percent of
Speaker 5: the value of all goods the US imported.
Speaker 1: What's twenty five percent of one point four trillion.
Speaker 4: Trillion?
Speaker 1: Okay, no.
Speaker 4: Billion?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's going to be really interesting, no kidding.
Speaker 4: Well, I've been up all night on on TIMU just
Speaker 4: trying to.
Speaker 1: Even Timu is no longer going to be getting You're
Speaker 1: not going to get you know, a uh half an
Speaker 1: appliance or three dollars from Timu.
Speaker 3: He's going to cost me four dollars now right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on Timu, it will uh oh, okay, who just
Speaker 1: texted me?
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know, please do tell okay.
Speaker 1: The guy who did it. I put up my uh
Speaker 1: my coyote fencing Jeremy, and he wants me to whore
Speaker 1: his name. So Jeremy, that's not going to happen. But
Speaker 1: thanks for you know, chiming in on this story.
Speaker 4: I mean, why do you have your phone in front
Speaker 4: of you?
Speaker 1: Because I use my phone as my timer. In other words,
Speaker 1: I don't have a timer. I just I find my
Speaker 1: phone works better.
Speaker 4: What time is it right now?
Speaker 1: Well it's six thirteen. But I use my phone also.
Speaker 1: I use it as the and sends me information and
Speaker 1: stories on my phone, which then I use for my printer.
Speaker 1: That phone is a big, big deal for me. That's
Speaker 1: why although I should put it on silent, which I
Speaker 1: don't do until it dings and then everybody knows I'm
Speaker 1: using my phone.
Speaker 4: Okay, handle that on the news coming back next.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely correct. And Jeremy, you did a great job.
Speaker 1: By the way, just to want to let you know. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll give the name of the company. We kill coyotes
Speaker 1: dot com and we eat them.
Speaker 4: Okay, probably is competitor. Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: President Donald Trump will stand before a joint session of
Speaker 6: Congress today give an account of his eventful first weeks
Speaker 6: in office. The White House said Trump's theme will be
Speaker 6: the renewal of the American Dream, and he's expected to
Speaker 6: basically lay out the achievements since returning to the White House,
Speaker 6: as well as appeal to Congress to provide more money
Speaker 6: to finance his aggressive immigration crackdown.
Speaker 1: Oh, be prepared for us.
Speaker 4: Call your coyote guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, be prepared for a free for all tonight. And
Speaker 1: this started with the Republicans heckling Joe Biden, Marjorie Taylor Green,
Speaker 1: screaming at him, heckling him at every word. And now
Speaker 1: it's the Democrats. Are they going to be as vociferous
Speaker 1: is that the right word as the Republicans are? I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Although you may see on the Republican
Speaker 1: side some of those huge foam hands that you see
Speaker 1: at football games being weighed number one, number one USA.
Speaker 1: You're going that doing the wave now and you are
Speaker 1: going to see, I mean, every time Trump opens his mouth,
Speaker 1: the Republicans will be standing up, cheering, jumping up and down.
Speaker 4: They're going to have the Republican kiss cam. Come on there.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't think I don't think we're
Speaker 1: far off on that one. I really don't.
Speaker 4: That's a funny visual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see tonight on hold.
Speaker 5: The United States has paused military aid to Ukraine. This
Speaker 5: comes days after President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky got
Speaker 5: into it.
Speaker 3: In the Oval Office.
Speaker 5: The pause will apparently last until Trump determines the country's
Speaker 5: leaders demonstrate a good faith commitment to peace. That's according
Speaker 5: to Bloomberg and Fox News.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what is peace as far as Trump is concerned.
Speaker 1: Zelensky Ukraine caving one hundred percent and Putin, who is thrilled,
Speaker 1: he's waving the foam hand and peace. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right now what peace is. Russia now occupies about
Speaker 1: a third of eastern Ukraine. Putin is going to say
Speaker 1: we keep that third, we annex that that becomes part
Speaker 1: of Russia, and that is going to be peace. Because
Speaker 1: if Trump doesn't, if if Zelensky or a Ukrainian leader
Speaker 1: subsequent to Zulensky doesn't cave, everything is off the table.
Speaker 1: He said to Zelensky, you don't cut this deal. This
Speaker 1: was the trade deal. But if you don't go for peace,
Speaker 1: all military eight stops and at that point Ukraine loses
Speaker 1: unless Europe supplants with the United States makes up what
Speaker 1: the US is giving Ukraine, which I think is going
Speaker 1: to happen. I think I think so too. You know,
Speaker 1: if the leaders of Western Europe on one day's notice
Speaker 1: after the debacle in the White House between Selinsky and Trump,
Speaker 1: one day's notice they met, it was and exhibited complete
Speaker 1: solidarity with Ukraine. We'll see what happens next few days.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Okay, local news Neil all Right.
Speaker 6: Day before Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass left for Ghana,
Speaker 6: which she said she wouldn't do when she was campaigning
Speaker 6: her age, received an email from the city's Emergency Management Department,
Speaker 6: which is where you would get it, not the chief
Speaker 6: of the fire department, warning of high confidence in damaging
Speaker 6: winds and elevated fire conditions occurring next week. The mayor
Speaker 6: nevertheless went on the trip, attending the Ganadian president's inauguration,
Speaker 6: as well as a US embassy cocktail party on January seventh,
Speaker 6: the day the Palisade fires broke out.
Speaker 1: And of course it's my dog ate the homework. The
Speaker 1: chief should have called me, even though there were emails
Speaker 1: going to staffers all over the place in the chief's office.
Speaker 1: Oh no, the police chief or the fire chief should
Speaker 1: have called me. It's her fault that all of this happened.
Speaker 1: And of course she was fired.
Speaker 4: She would have leave and she did you know she knew.
Speaker 1: It is of course she did.
Speaker 6: Or it was worse to me that she says she
Speaker 6: didn't know that it was for her to come out
Speaker 6: and just say screwed up.
Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you it's possible that she didn't know.
Speaker 1: She claims that her staff never told her because there
Speaker 1: are no emails, of course, but there is no there's
Speaker 1: no proof that that bass got an email at all.
Speaker 4: Here's me. Can you imagine your mayor didn't even know what.
Speaker 1: Was going on? And it goes to show you her leadership,
Speaker 1: her leadership. She has a staff that didn't tell her,
Speaker 1: and there are there's email after email from the National
Speaker 1: Weather Service, from the Emergency Management District, whatever the hell.
Speaker 1: The city of La has during emergencies. I mean you
Speaker 1: look at there were half a dozen or a dozen emails,
Speaker 1: and the National Weather Service was coming in and sending
Speaker 1: out reports from it's highly likely or going to have
Speaker 1: a major event. Uh, it is very likely ending with
Speaker 1: it is critical, it will be life threatening. It will happen.
Speaker 1: And the mayor's office, her staffers did not tell her
Speaker 1: about it, so they say, and it's possible, it's possible,
Speaker 1: why should fired fired? Of course not. And head should roll,
Speaker 1: she should fire every one of those people that ended
Speaker 1: up getting an email everyone. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: This is I hope this causes Bass her job.
Speaker 4: Me too.
Speaker 1: I hope gave the next election she gets nailed on this.
Speaker 1: There's a recall starting, but that's I don't know why
Speaker 1: people even bother with a recall and Crowley and we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it later on. Crowley is appealing to
Speaker 1: the La City Council her firing. Now. Is it going
Speaker 1: to go any place? Absolutely not. I mean Crowley is
Speaker 1: not going to be reinstituted.
Speaker 3: All right, deadlocked over a dead wife.
Speaker 5: Jurors in the trial of Orange County judge of an
Speaker 5: Orange County judge who is accused of shooting his wife,
Speaker 5: say they're deadlocked. They can't come up with it a verdict.
Speaker 5: The judge said, can you go back and try again.
Speaker 5: They're going to decide today whether they can. Prosecutors say
Speaker 5: Judge Ferguson was drinking and shot his wife on purpose
Speaker 5: while they had an argument. Ferguson says the claiming the
Speaker 5: gun went off accidentally as he pulled it out of
Speaker 5: its holster.
Speaker 1: Taking it out of its holster and basically pointing it
Speaker 1: at her. That's accidental, Okay, I'm surprised that. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know the other facts of the case. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could be that he was so plastered that he
Speaker 1: had no idea. He came up with that is a
Speaker 1: legitimate defense. I have no idea. But you know, jury
Speaker 1: completely deadlocked, and judges don't buy that. Man. They forced
Speaker 1: the jury's back in. Go back in and all right,
Speaker 1: let's move on.
Speaker 6: He's now a producer on the movie Rust as well.
Speaker 1: Very well.
Speaker 6: California Governor Gavin Newsom or the Gave, announced yesterday that
Speaker 6: he is ordering all state employees to return to the
Speaker 6: office four days a week, matter with him starting starting
Speaker 6: on July. First, yeah, first, super important, but not you know.
Speaker 1: And he sends a text out saying if you don't,
Speaker 1: you're going to be fired. Go get a job with
Speaker 1: the Feds. Okay. Uh.
Speaker 6: He did say that it's just strength in the state's
Speaker 6: emergency and disaster response. Great, right after we've had such
Speaker 6: a massive disaster.
Speaker 4: But they're still going.
Speaker 6: To look at tell work flexibilities case by case, which
Speaker 6: I don't think is legal.
Speaker 4: But knocked themselves out too, they held house.
Speaker 5: Okay, so there's a new Gladiator movie out. In fact,
Speaker 5: it was nominated for something SAG Awards or something, but
Speaker 5: Gladiator playing out in real life at Los Padrino's Juvenile facility.
Speaker 5: Thirty officers at the juvenile hall are facing child abuse
Speaker 5: charges because they allegedly coordinated gladiator fights between the kids there.
Speaker 5: Nearly seventy fights were recorded between July and December of
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three. The charges say that the officers allowed
Speaker 5: and even encouraged the fights.
Speaker 1: They're going to get nail. I'm not surprised. There's all
Speaker 1: kinds of problems that have occurred. Yeah, you know, the
Speaker 1: guy who used to work with us here, the guy
Speaker 1: used to be State Gregory did a lot of reports
Speaker 1: on this.
Speaker 4: This just did and broke. The story is still Steve Gregor.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's news to me.
Speaker 4: Okay, it didn't used to be anything. Okay.
Speaker 6: WWE co founder Linda McMahon was confirmed as the US
Speaker 6: Secretary of Education yesterday night, a party line vote, of course,
Speaker 6: as they tend to be fifty one to forty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of Democrats didn't show up. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they knew that it was going to be a loss.
Speaker 1: There is not one nominee that has not been confirmed
Speaker 1: by the Senate that Trump has put forward, not one.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter experience, it doesn't matter credentials, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anything. The only good news is that for
Speaker 1: senior positions in the Department of Justice, thank god Charles
Speaker 1: Manson is dead. All right, let's go because he would
Speaker 1: be confirmed. One more story and know we'll take a break.
Speaker 5: Well, the dog is still it's just not the one
Speaker 5: that we thought. So we got the word last week
Speaker 5: that Gene Hackman and his wife had died at their
Speaker 5: home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and then also that
Speaker 5: one of.
Speaker 3: Their dogs had died. It was a dog that was in.
Speaker 5: A kennel and we're finding out that it looks like
Speaker 5: Jeane and his wife Betsy had been dead for a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks. Don't know how the dog died, could
Speaker 5: have started to death, but apparently it's not the dog bear,
Speaker 5: the German shepherd, it's a different one.
Speaker 1: How big a deal is that?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it really is.
Speaker 1: I know, these are fungible dogs.
Speaker 4: You know, well, a dog's a dog, but pardon yeah,
Speaker 4: in your household. But you guys go through them like tissue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, one dies, you get another one.
Speaker 6: It's not that complicated thing is this that the dog
Speaker 6: chiropractor came out and said, oh I was so worried.
Speaker 6: And it's like people like were rotting. There were rotting
Speaker 6: corpses about the dogs.
Speaker 4: It's like I was just doing the back to dogs.
Speaker 1: I mean, if one of the dogs in the kennel
Speaker 1: in the crate starved to death, that's a little that's tough.
Speaker 1: That's tough. But it's a dog out of the three,
Speaker 1: and it becomes a front page, Oh wrong dog? So
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Well, every this is such big news.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman dying under mysterious circumstances ninety five years old.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's been around for a while.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean he had everything.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like the ninety year old guy that
Speaker 1: goes to a urologist and says, doctor, I can't pee,
Speaker 1: and the urologist says, how old are you going? I'm ninety. Guys,
Speaker 1: you're peen enough. Okay, uh okay, don't forget to tip
Speaker 1: the waiters on the way out, okay.
Speaker 4: Free falling.
Speaker 6: Indeed, the Academy Awards drew eighteen million viewers on Sunday,
Speaker 6: not bad, ABC said, citing Nielsen data, But eight it's
Speaker 6: an eight percent drop from the nineteen point five million
Speaker 6: who watched last year. The audience decline decline is part
Speaker 6: of the up and down that has been coming on.
Speaker 6: But they had a three year streak with OSCAR ratings
Speaker 6: that had been on the rise, and now this ends
Speaker 6: that three years streak. The decline follows a trend among
Speaker 6: all these awards shows. So Grammy Awards down nine percent
Speaker 6: than the year before. Golden Globes in January. January had
Speaker 6: a modest decline.
Speaker 4: But I don't know. They they're hard to make interesting.
Speaker 1: These and when you talk about there was on a
Speaker 1: three year increase. I mean we're talking incremental increase. The
Speaker 1: numbers are either horrible, more horrible, prohibitively horrible, or science
Speaker 1: fiction horrible. That's what they've come because who saw Who
Speaker 1: saw best picture? Aurora or a Borealis or whatever they
Speaker 1: hold The name of that picture was? Who saw that? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that one who saw it? I didn't? Did you?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 4: Oh? Wow?
Speaker 1: That ruins my little But you know what.
Speaker 5: I only did it because I am a SAG member,
Speaker 5: so I vote on the SAG Awards.
Speaker 1: So do you.
Speaker 3: We're all SAG members.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't get that stuff anymore, at least I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even pay attention. How did you watch it?
Speaker 1: You should get it for free.
Speaker 3: I watched it on my TV at home.
Speaker 1: Because they give you a code or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they used to send out the DVDs, but now
Speaker 5: most of them are digital.
Speaker 1: By the way, did you see all the films?
Speaker 5: Almost well, not all the Academy Awards, but almost all
Speaker 5: of the SAG films.
Speaker 1: And okay, my next question is do you have a life?
Speaker 3: I do not.
Speaker 1: I know that clearly, clearly.
Speaker 3: All right, I have two cats, Neil.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, it's a cat lady and their coyote fodder. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on.
Speaker 3: So much for Forever.
Speaker 5: Forever twenty one is laying off nearly seven hundred workers
Speaker 5: in California and Pennsylvania and closing its headquarters in the
Speaker 5: Los Angeles area. Liquidations have begun. They say that they
Speaker 5: just can't keep up online shopping. It's just taking over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of companies are going under, and some
Speaker 1: are doing great. The ones that are well managed. The
Speaker 1: brick and mortar ones that have done well is just
Speaker 1: good management and they've been able to somehow, you know,
Speaker 1: bridge the issue of internet and brick and mortar. I'm,
Speaker 1: for example, I'm buying a couch.
Speaker 4: Is there good for you?
Speaker 1: Thank you? But here's no. But here's the point that's
Speaker 1: very funny. Here is the point. How do you buy
Speaker 1: a couch or a chair online if you have not
Speaker 1: sat on it and seen if it's comfortable. How do
Speaker 1: you do that? So what we're doing is we're buying
Speaker 1: four couches, different kinds, different colors, different fabrics, will choose
Speaker 1: one and return the other three with Amazon.
Speaker 3: Take it back into Whole Foods in return.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we've been needing a new couch for
Speaker 6: well over a year, and I don't want to get
Speaker 6: one for that very reason.
Speaker 4: It's hard. You have to go around everywhere and yeah,
Speaker 4: you do them.
Speaker 1: And you do. That's the whole point that shares on it.
Speaker 4: To see what it's going to feel like when you're
Speaker 4: in the doghouse.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. So we went and bought a
Speaker 1: couch at a at a store, you know, one of
Speaker 1: these furniture stores, and it doesn't work. We sat on it.
Speaker 1: It was super comfortable. A bed. How do you buy
Speaker 1: a bed without trying it out? And you know when
Speaker 1: you go to these major stores, they don't come Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you come in you have to try it. Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you. Trying a bed. You're in your clothes,
Speaker 1: it's the middle of the day and you're lying on
