Speaker 1: Handle show on demand on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2: It does not matter.
Speaker 1: I have often said this, and I believe it to

Speaker 1: as Attorney General, he would be confirmed.
Speaker 2: Swastika carved into his.
Speaker 1: Forehead with a razor blade and all and now handle

Speaker 3: Yeah, that will thank you.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Willy Brown. Yeah, and Willy Brown, for those of you
Speaker 1: that don't know that, was probably the second most powerful
Speaker 1: Speaker of the California Assembly that ever lived, first one
Speaker 1: being Jesse Unru who invented California politics. He's the one
Speaker 1: that invented money is the milk of all politics.
Speaker 2: I think that was the phrase.
Speaker 1: In any case, Willie Brown was speaker for I think
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen years and had enormous, enormous power. He ran
Speaker 1: it with an He ran the Assembly with an iron fist.
Speaker 1: So yes, you are absolutely right.
Speaker 3: In a little Willie Nelson.
Speaker 1: Oh god, you're looking it up, Okay, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: of course you are all right? Amy. What is that
Speaker 1: you have on your sweatshirt. I can't see it. Your
Speaker 1: hairs are in the way there.
Speaker 5: It says, magical.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: And do I see the Disneyland castle as an a
Speaker 1: you do? Yeah?
Speaker 5: It was a Christmas present for my brother. It was
Speaker 5: a birthday present from my brother.
Speaker 2: No, that's sweet, that's sweet.
Speaker 1: Uh. And then there's uh of course, Neil and I
Speaker 1: don't know where Anne is. She's running around someplace. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: real quickly before we get into handling the news. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: as you know, I just moved into my new place
Speaker 1: a year remodeling it. Thank you very much. What a disaster, Well,
Speaker 1: wasn't a disaster. It just took a long time. A
Speaker 1: lot of may as well's uh, in the construction may
Speaker 1: as well as being while we're doing this, we may
Speaker 1: as well do that. Yeah. And then if we're doing that,
Speaker 1: we may as well do that. So it took a
Speaker 1: lot longer. In the budget doubled, of course, and that's
Speaker 1: that's a given in any case. First grill that I
Speaker 1: had yesterday, First grilly and I went to Costco, of
Speaker 1: course to buy my steaks, and I asked the.
Speaker 2: Meat person there, I want to get I want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what they call him.
Speaker 1: I asked, what is I want to get a really
Speaker 1: good quality steak and he pointed me to a package
Speaker 1: of steak. I put it in my into the cart
Speaker 1: not paying attention until I went to the checkout counter
Speaker 1: and it was twenty five ninety nine a pound.
Speaker 2: Yeha, Phil A Mignon didn't notice that you.
Speaker 3: Could buy a carton of eggs for that.
Speaker 1: Oh you as well, said, And I ended up grilling it.
Speaker 1: And of course I was on the phone with Neil
Speaker 1: what three times?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was up the mountain. I was in Big
Speaker 4: Bear and got a call from Handle. He goes, I
Speaker 4: got these steaks. I've got people here. How do I
Speaker 4: cook them?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And so Neil told me how to do it with
Speaker 1: the Thermo where to go. You cook them low and
Speaker 1: slow and then very hot, very quick for the seer.
Speaker 2: Anyway, they turned out perfect.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, I mean perfect, and so very pleased,
Speaker 1: very pleased.
Speaker 3: That's exactly like doing a great steak.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh no, this was to cook a great Yeah,
Speaker 1: this was insane.
Speaker 2: Now you know this.
Speaker 1: You can either buy this steak or take a vacation
Speaker 1: to Disneyland. I mean, it's pretty pricey stuff. But you
Speaker 1: know what was it a package of four? I put
Speaker 1: two away because there's big steaks about two and a
Speaker 1: half inches thick. It was like seventy three dollars for
Speaker 1: a package of four steaks.
Speaker 4: Well, if you went out to eat that would yeah,
Speaker 4: you won and cooked for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it ended up being it ended up being what
Speaker 1: was it thirty six eighteen dollars per steak.
Speaker 3: At all?
Speaker 1: No, and that is a huge Well that was two
Speaker 1: out of the four, but they were massive. So in
Speaker 1: any case, all right, enough of that making people feel
Speaker 1: good who are at the end of the month, are
Speaker 1: approaching the end of the month, and will they and
Speaker 1: they'll be eating ramen for a bucket cup, all right,
Speaker 1: just to make people feel good.
Speaker 2: Hey, and good morning, good morning, there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, are you ready to do it?
Speaker 2: You bet you.
Speaker 1: It's a Monday, February seventeenth. Handle on the news, Amy
Speaker 1: Neil and me lead story, oh Man, international relations are
Speaker 1: going crazy in Europe.
Speaker 2: There was the Munich.
Speaker 1: It was an annual meeting of Europeans and Americans. Vice
Speaker 1: President Vance ripped into Europe and said the problem is
Speaker 1: not China or Russia. The problem is with you guys
Speaker 1: that are stopping the right wing from either forming or
Speaker 1: creating parties or in any way furthering their agenda.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about far right, far far right wing, where.
Speaker 1: The governments are stamping down on it, and they don't
Speaker 1: have First Amendment, by the way, in most of Europe.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, Europe is reeling with that,
Speaker 1: and so Putin and the President, our president talking about
Speaker 1: ending the war in Ukraine with a summit without Ukraine.
Speaker 1: There of course, Ukraine will have nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 2: That'll be done by US and Russia.
Speaker 1: And the bottom line is, as Zelenski said, you can
Speaker 1: kiss goodbye the United States being our friend Europe relying
Speaker 1: on the United States, We're gonna have to do it ourselves.
Speaker 2: And that since World War two, actually.
Speaker 1: Was it actually since before World War two, before Pearl Harbor,
Speaker 1: when America first, America firsters led by Charles Charles Lindberg
Speaker 1: I had argued, no war, we don't want to deal
Speaker 1: with we don't want to deal with Europe. We don't
Speaker 1: want to help Europe. By the way, FDR really wanted to,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't politically, and then Pearl Harbor hit and
Speaker 1: I just all blew up. And now we're involved in
Speaker 1: Europe helped win the war. Europe probably couldn't have done
Speaker 1: it with the United States. We did nation building with
Speaker 1: a Marshall Plan where money was poured into Europe to
Speaker 1: build it up, and we had NATO was formed, and
Speaker 1: we have been best buddies with Europe right up until now.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting stuff.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I've said over and over again, the next four years
Speaker 1: are going to be fastening, and I have a couple
Speaker 1: of stories by the way about the next four years.
Speaker 1: I can't get away from it, even though I've been
Speaker 1: told over and over again, Bill, you're spending too much time. Willie,
Speaker 1: you're spending too much time on what's going on with
Speaker 1: the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 1: It is that far reaching, and it is changing our
Speaker 1: live the lives around the world that much because of
Speaker 1: the influence the US has.
Speaker 5: All Right, Rubios in Saudi Arabia. Secretary of State Marco
Speaker 5: Rubio arrived in Saudi Arabia. It's going to be talking
Speaker 5: about the futures of both Gaza and Ukraine. He flew
Speaker 5: to RhoD from Israel and is expected to press the
Speaker 5: Saudi leadership on a post war Gaza vision. Of course,
Speaker 5: President Trump said he wants to redevelop it as the
Speaker 5: riviera of the Middle East, but that would mean moving
Speaker 5: all the Palestinians out. And they're saying, you know what,
Speaker 5: if that doesn't work for you, then what are some alternatives.
Speaker 1: When you think there's going to be a representative of Trump,
Speaker 1: the Trump organization going up and down Gaza and saying
Speaker 1: we'll put a hotel here, a Trump hotel here, and
Speaker 1: a Trump resort there. Over there is Amara Gaza, and
Speaker 1: it's going to be oh here, I'll tell you. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you one thing. The Trump organization knows how to
Speaker 1: run a hotel. I mean they are good at what
Speaker 1: they do. And when we went to Chicago, whole group
Speaker 1: of us from the radio station, it was we stated
Speaker 1: a Trump hotel and it was tremendous service.
Speaker 3: Where you know, it was beautiful. But were you the
Speaker 3: one that set that up?
Speaker 2: No? I didn't set that up.
Speaker 1: It happened.
Speaker 3: I think somebody did it as a joke.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I think it was Oh, you know what, it was.
Speaker 1: It was right near the venue that we were at
Speaker 1: where we could walk.
Speaker 2: It was a block and a half walk and it was.
Speaker 1: Just, if not one of it was probably the if
Speaker 1: not the it was one of the best run properties
Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Really well now, really well run.
Speaker 5: Don't you think it would get bombed or something if
Speaker 5: he tried to build in Gaza?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? It's going to get bombed if you
Speaker 1: set up a hot dog stand in Gaza.
Speaker 5: Well there's that, Okay, Well that seems racist or somebody.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's it refers to let's say, a bombing
Speaker 1: or two that would occur in that part of the world.
Speaker 1: I want to another story, another story.
Speaker 4: This tape measure, all right, Trump administ administration wants the
Speaker 4: Supreme Court to permit the firing of the head of
Speaker 4: the federal agency. This is dedicated to protecting whistle blowers. So,
Speaker 4: according to documents obtained Sunday, that would mark the first
Speaker 4: appeal of the just assistance he took office. So this
Speaker 4: is to start the start of what will be steadily
Speaker 4: streaming lawyers and going back and forth. Is going to
Speaker 4: be four years of a lot of.
Speaker 3: Banks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know a lot of the stuff that's
Speaker 1: going on makes no sense. For example, whistle blowers are
Speaker 1: protected from being prosecuted, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Sew.
Speaker 1: So you have a whistle blower that comes in and
Speaker 1: whistle blows on some governmental program which fraud and waste, right,
Speaker 1: because they're going after fraud and waste. Okay, And the
Speaker 1: people that the very people that will point their fingers
Speaker 1: at that are not protected anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, if you get rid of the head of the department,
Speaker 4: they're not protected. Aren't they still protected?
Speaker 2: Well it's on the way.
Speaker 1: We don't know, but it's on the way to changing
Speaker 1: it up completely. It's like the IRS, the very notion
Speaker 1: the IRS collects money. We desperately need money. Hundreds of
Speaker 1: billions of dollars are left on the table. More IRS
Speaker 1: agents are needed, and they're being cut.
Speaker 4: Wait a second, but isn't is it Elon Musk a
Speaker 4: whistle blower on all the money that's being spent.
Speaker 1: No, he's not a whistleblower. He is buying that portion
Speaker 1: of the federal government. Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: For it. I hope he gets a good you know,
Speaker 3: good deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's work left to be done. That's the word
Speaker 5: from Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He says that they're
Speaker 5: ready to finish the job against Iraq, and they can
Speaker 5: do Iran Iran. I can't believe I said Iraq, probably
Speaker 5: because I'm watching a show that has an Iraqi on it. Okay,
Speaker 5: but Iran, And he says they'll do it with the
Speaker 5: support of Trump. He said, over the last sixteenth month,
Speaker 5: Israel has dealt a mighty blow to Iran's terror access
Speaker 5: and under the strong leadership of President Trump, I have
Speaker 5: no doubt that we can and will finish the job.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is Rubio who is talking.
Speaker 2: That was oh yes, get it.
Speaker 1: And Rubio said there could never be a nuclear Ron.
Speaker 2: He backed it up.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So a quick one here, and that is Israel does
Speaker 1: not move without American permission. America is that influential. As
Speaker 1: I said earlier, Israel cannot probably not even survive without
Speaker 1: American intervention, supplying of arms, etc.
Speaker 2: And you had Biden, for example.
Speaker 1: Israelis were not particularly happy with because oh no, You're
Speaker 1: not going to go after the Iranian nuclear facilities. Oh no,
Speaker 1: we have to be more objective. We can't deal one
Speaker 1: way or the other. It's just not fair. It's just
Speaker 1: not right. Trump comes in and he goes, oh, no,
Speaker 1: we screw fairness if you call it that, we cannot
Speaker 1: let Iran have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 2: It's that simple.
Speaker 1: He's always said that, by the way, and he has
Speaker 1: said and we know the second that they build a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon or close to it, boom, Israel attacks. Now
Speaker 1: they have the backing of the.
Speaker 3: United States.
Speaker 1: That agrees that Iran having nuclear weapons changes everything.
Speaker 2: It changes everything.
Speaker 1: And Nettigao, who says ain't going to happen, and the
Speaker 1: Trump administration says ain't gonna happen, and I happen to
Speaker 1: agree with that. Can you imagine Iran having a nuclear
Speaker 1: weapon and backing up every terrorist organization in the world.
Speaker 1: So it won't be a rn that is going to
Speaker 1: detonate a nuclear weapon, which now can be put in
Speaker 1: small packages.
Speaker 2: It'll be one of the terrorists organizations.
Speaker 1: It will be someone who's radicalized. In the United States,
Speaker 1: we just had a stabbing in Germany where a radicalized
Speaker 1: I think it was Hisserian refugee killed a fourteen year
Speaker 1: old kid.
Speaker 2: I mean that was yesterday.
Speaker 1: So you know Israel, yes.
Speaker 2: Palestinians or Iranians no.
Speaker 4: The average price of gas in California has skyrocketed recent weeks.
Speaker 4: It continues to go up and up and up, and
Speaker 4: it is winking at that dreaded five dollars.
Speaker 3: This is all according to Triple.
Speaker 4: A and the average price of regular gas in California
Speaker 4: was four dollars and eighty four cents on Saturday. That
Speaker 4: number was up about twenty five cents from last Saturday,
Speaker 4: and it continues to go up from there. But this
Speaker 4: apparently has to do with that. And I love this.
Speaker 4: We hear this all the time. Refineries begin to transition
Speaker 4: to summer blends of fuel. And another thing we have
Speaker 4: here in southern California and that there's a routine maintenance
Speaker 4: in northern California going on.
Speaker 1: You know, the last time a refinery was built in
Speaker 1: California was forty two, forty three years ago. Now there
Speaker 1: are seven major companies that are here. One of them
Speaker 1: goes down, one refinery goes down for maintenance for whatever reason.
Speaker 2: We're in a world of hurt.
Speaker 1: And so I'm going to do that story coming up
Speaker 1: at seven point fifty. And the question is should California
Speaker 1: consider consider basically taking over the refineries as a governmental process.
Speaker 1: It's already done in many countries. All right, one more
Speaker 1: before we take a break.
Speaker 5: NAACP is looking to cancel companies that cancel DEI. The
Speaker 5: group says they want Black Americans to steer their buying
Speaker 5: power toward corporations that haven't pulled back from DEI policies.
Speaker 5: They put out a spending guide. It was released on Saturday.
Speaker 5: They say it's needed because diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives
Speaker 5: promote the social and economic advancement of all Black Americans
Speaker 5: and DOUBLEACP president Derek Johnson said diversity is better for
Speaker 5: the bottom line.
Speaker 1: White uvas. No, now that's pretty obscure. I just want
Speaker 1: to point that out. No, No, I'm going to explain
Speaker 1: this one, because this is pretty obscure. You have white
Speaker 1: raisins as opposed to dark raisins. Yeah, yes, clearing you know.
Speaker 1: And so white raisins, if you buy white raisins, you're
Speaker 1: called golden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, golden raisins, but they're white. Okay.
Speaker 1: And it used to be where the boycott of the
Speaker 1: grape growers actually worked. That was Caesar Chavez. So golden
Speaker 1: white raisins. No, now is.
Speaker 2: The newest protest. See you get that.
Speaker 1: I mean that went through a couple of very nuanced
Speaker 1: it made sense. I'm telling you very good. You have
Speaker 1: funny but very subtle and very good.
Speaker 3: Nice job.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, I'll take credit.
Speaker 1: For that one.
Speaker 2: White UVa's no. Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, the Trump administration is sticking with Trump's very famous line,
Speaker 4: you fired. You started firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees.
Speaker 4: And I guess that means what have they been nailed
Speaker 4: for less than a year or less than a year,
Speaker 4: So this is not about them being on probation for
Speaker 4: something they did.
Speaker 3: This just means they're in right trial. Okay.
Speaker 1: For example, a lot of companies ninety days and they
Speaker 1: can fire you for any sort of any reason. Far leowbjections.
Speaker 4: We don't know the exact number, but the head of
Speaker 4: the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists said that several hundred workers
Speaker 4: started getting firing notices on Friday and they could actually
Speaker 4: be barred.
Speaker 3: From facilities as of tomorrow after the holiday today.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't disagree in looking at quote everybody.
Speaker 1: Every administration goes after fraud and waste, and when you
Speaker 1: have two point three million employees, you're going to find
Speaker 1: some stuff that well, let's just say shouldn't shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2: But here's an example.
Speaker 1: You have a case that a few hundred security workers
Speaker 1: were fired from nuclear facilities to guard our weapons systems.
Speaker 2: Oops.
Speaker 1: So they fire them and then they unfire them the
Speaker 1: next day. It's just it's moving too quickly, is what
Speaker 1: it is. And then oops, that's exactly what they said.
Speaker 3: Oops.
Speaker 2: And then there are are great.
Speaker 1: Stories of, you know, the ridiculous money that's being spent
Speaker 1: for insane stuff. And the administration came out with a
Speaker 1: list saying fifty million dollars for condoms for Palestinians. Two
Speaker 1: days later it was one hundred million dollars. Now, keep
Speaker 1: in mind, we have yet to see fraud and waste.
Speaker 1: We have yet to see a pointed finger and saying, look,
Speaker 1: what's happening.
Speaker 2: It's firings right now.
Speaker 1: And what it is is reducing the workforce. To reduce
Speaker 1: the workforce, that's what's happening now. And they're only there
Speaker 1: haven't been all that many. There've been I think a few,
Speaker 1: a few thousand relative to two point three million.
Speaker 3: And it's just head count at this point.
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 1: I think it is well. The people that hand out
Speaker 1: the condoms in Gaza one hundred million of dollars worth.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 1: That's two one hundred and eighty six for a man,
Speaker 1: woman and child in Gaza. Those six year olds really
Speaker 1: need him. I have no idea what the numbers are.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just making that up.
Speaker 5: More hostages are free. Three more hostages were released from
Speaker 5: Hamas over the weekend in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
Speaker 5: It's part of the ceasefire agreement that appeared to have
Speaker 5: been in jeopardy last week but appears to be back
Speaker 5: on track again. The hostages were released in communis in
Speaker 5: southern Gaza. It's the sixth release of hostages under the
Speaker 5: current agreement.
Speaker 1: Look at the pr here paganda. The hostages are released
Speaker 1: on this stage and they are surrounded by Hamas fighters,
Speaker 1: all in brand new crispy uniforms, big signs coming out.
Speaker 1: The announcement by Hamas we have won. We have prevailed.
Speaker 1: Prevailed means that they were not forced to leave Gaza.
Speaker 2: They still had power, so they won.
Speaker 1: Of course, No, they are not released in any area
Speaker 1: where entire neighborhoods, entire parts of cities were destroyed.
Speaker 2: But it's a win it's a win.
Speaker 1: And if the hostages are not released per the agreement,
Speaker 1: Natagnan who is itching to get back and destroy the
Speaker 1: rest of Gaza.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. And it's always that case where you
Speaker 2: have three.
Speaker 1: Hostages, two hostages released, four hundreds, if not thousand. It
Speaker 1: was Do you remember that that corporal that was picked up,
Speaker 1: he was captured Gilad Shali or Shali guilt, just an
Speaker 1: ordinary corporal picked up by Hamas. Six years, six years
Speaker 1: the negotiations went on. Eleven hundred Palestinians were released for
Speaker 1: one Israeli, one Israeli soldier, and the release included yeah,
Speaker 1: yah Sinwar, who masterminded the attack on Israel October seventh.
Speaker 1: And that's what happens.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, this one, this one got past me.
Speaker 4: I did not know there was an Amazon employee captured
Speaker 4: by Hamas. But Amazon CEO now is relieved after Hamas
Speaker 4: released employee that was taken hostage on October seventh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these when these negotiations happen, When an American is
Speaker 1: captured and finally released, it's very very quiet. Amazon was
Speaker 1: told do not talk about it, do not say anything,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they did. And now whether it
Speaker 1: was because of what Amazon did behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: We don't know, but you're right.
Speaker 1: For the first time we have an Amazon employee who
Speaker 1: was captured.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not unusual to thank supporters. What is unusual
Speaker 5: is who these supporters are. Remember the guy who killed
Speaker 5: or is it alleged to have killed United Healthcare CEO
Speaker 5: Brian Thompson. Luigi Mangioni is in jail, being held as
Speaker 5: they're putting the case together against him, and he's getting
Speaker 5: supporter letters, and so they posted on a website set
Speaker 5: up by his defense that, hey, you know, really appreciate this.
Speaker 5: Mangioni said, I'm overwhelmed by and grateful for everyone who
Speaker 5: has written to me to share their stories and expressed
Speaker 5: their support for him murdering somebody in cold blood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all these guys get support letters, women who want
Speaker 1: to marry them.
Speaker 2: I interviewed the wife of the nightstalker.
Speaker 1: Who she was one of hundreds of people that wanted
Speaker 1: to connect with a Nightstalker and ended up marrying him
Speaker 1: in prison behind the clear plastic separation, I mean, they
Speaker 1: couldn't touch each other and they got married. And I
Speaker 1: interviewed her and she maintained number one his innocence and
Speaker 1: number two she was she was a lucky one that
Speaker 1: got to him to marry her after hundreds of proposals.
Speaker 3: There you go, we're all we're all nuts. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: we show was out so I could a kill the
Speaker 3: ball for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just completely insane.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: The US Department of Agriculture last week issued a conditional
Speaker 4: license for an avian flu vaccine. I heard this this
Speaker 4: morning on wake Up Call with Amy King. And they
Speaker 4: can use this in chickens, which makes sense. The outbreak
Speaker 4: is obviously causing massive problems with the poultry flocks, and
Speaker 4: this effects egg laying hens much more than it does
Speaker 4: what we call roasters or roasted the chickens we eat.
Speaker 4: So that's why egg prices are going up. Yet the
Speaker 4: price of chicken isn't necessarily.
Speaker 1: Although I just I went to rals and yeah, Lindsay
Speaker 1: wants these pasture pastured chickens to get run around and have, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to buy eggs, and it was seven ninety nine for
Speaker 1: a carton. No, it was really good because I have
Speaker 1: to like eggs with chickens that can't move, you know,
Speaker 1: they're sort of completely other claws go through and they're
Speaker 1: connected to the cages and they can't move.
Speaker 2: I find those eggs tasteier.
Speaker 3: Do you have any miserable eggs, ma'am great, I'll take those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those are what four ninety nine only, and
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I paid twelve dollars for
Speaker 1: the same one happy eggs is then that's the name
Speaker 1: of the the uh of those eggs and pasture raisers.
Speaker 4: Paid nine bucks for extra large eggs for a carton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one's yeah.
Speaker 1: And I just paid eight dollars seven eight dollars for
Speaker 1: the you know, and the and they're great eggs. I
Speaker 1: mean the shells are hard, and they're thick, and the
Speaker 1: oaks are this deep yellow.
Speaker 2: I mean they're really good eggs.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, clothing chickens.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Blocked by the White House. The White House has stopped
Speaker 5: a credentialed Associated Press reporter and photographer from getting on
Speaker 5: Air Force one Friday to join him for the weekend
Speaker 5: trip because AP won't say the golf of Mexico is
Speaker 5: now the golf of America.
Speaker 3: Boy.
Speaker 5: And this is not the first time. They've also blocked
Speaker 5: the AP from covering a handful of events in the
Speaker 5: White House, including a news conference with India's leader and
Speaker 5: also some gatherings in the Oval office.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And one of the big stories today is Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio is coming back from Saudi America and he is
Speaker 1: we'll have a press conference today.
Speaker 3: Okay, did you hear?
Speaker 5: I think this is actually serious that somebody said if
Speaker 5: we took control of Greenland, they wanted to rename it red,

Speaker 2: Oh that's very strong, very strong.
Speaker 3: Wow, where are we? You know?
Speaker 4: Since its inception launched in two thousand and five, Reddit
Speaker 4: has always been free the social media site all kinds
Speaker 4: of free access to great information and some not so
Speaker 4: great information. While now there's a new feature coming to
Speaker 4: Reddit potentially in twenty twenty five this year that put
Speaker 4: some of its content behind paywalls. And I'm curious how
Speaker 4: this is gonna go over because you have to pay.
Speaker 1: It's like x charging for content or the additional content.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's happening all the time.
Speaker 1: Look at podcasts or look at that are normally free,
Speaker 1: but you can get in and subscribe for the additional podcasts,
Speaker 1: things behind the scenes everything to make money. You can't
Speaker 1: how about this cable or subscription TV right platforms Peacock,
Speaker 1: which I have.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of them.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, more and more commercials are on there,
Speaker 1: and I start screaming, come on, the whole point of
Speaker 1: these platforms is no commercials. It's getting very depressing. You
Speaker 1: can still do it, just pay an extra three bucks.
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's ridiculous. It always goes back to the
Speaker 4: original model. No matter how how much they tell us, hey,
Speaker 4: we're going to revolutionize things, they go back to the
Speaker 4: model advertising charging us everything.
