I didn't set that up. 196 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:36.960 It happened. 197 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.559 I think somebody did it as a joke. 198 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.159 No, no, no, no, I don't think so. 199 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:41.759 I think it was Oh, you know what, it was. 200 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.840 It was right near the venue that we were at 201 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.600 where we could walk. 202 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.879 It was a block and a half walk and it was. 203 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.399 Just, if not one of it was probably the if 204 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.080 not the it was one of the best run properties 205 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:55.799 I've ever seen. 206 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.679 Really well now, really well run. 207 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.240 Don't you think it would get bombed or something if 208 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.600 he tried to build in Gaza? 209 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.879 Are you kidding? It's going to get bombed if you 210 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.960 set up a hot dog stand in Gaza. 211 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.120 Well there's that, Okay, Well that seems racist or somebody. 212 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.559 No, No, it's it refers to let's say, a bombing 213 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.519 or two that would occur in that part of the world. 214 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.279 I want to another story, another story. 215 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.679 This tape measure, all right, Trump administ administration wants the 216 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.480 Supreme Court to permit the firing of the head of 217 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:36.879 the federal agency. This is dedicated to protecting whistle blowers. So, 218 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.279 according to documents obtained Sunday, that would mark the first 219 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.519 appeal of the just assistance he took office. So this 220 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.799 is to start the start of what will be steadily 221 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.440 streaming lawyers and going back and forth. Is going to 222 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.600 be four years of a lot of. 223 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:54.519 Banks. 224 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.000 Yeah, but you know a lot of the stuff that's 225 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.960 going on makes no sense. For example, whistle blowers are 226 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.600 protected from being prosecuted, et cetera. 227 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:04.879 Sew. 228 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.519 So you have a whistle blower that comes in and 229 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:15.039 whistle blows on some governmental program which fraud and waste, right, 230 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.720 because they're going after fraud and waste. Okay, And the 231 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:23.080 people that the very people that will point their fingers 232 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.279 at that are not protected anymore. 233 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.519 Well, if you get rid of the head of the department, 234 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.360 they're not protected. Aren't they still protected? 235 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.399 Well it's on the way. 236 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.279 We don't know, but it's on the way to changing 237 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.879 it up completely. It's like the IRS, the very notion 238 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.159 the IRS collects money. We desperately need money. Hundreds of 239 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.080 billions of dollars are left on the table. More IRS 240 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.879 agents are needed, and they're being cut. 241 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.840 Wait a second, but isn't is it Elon Musk a 242 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.919 whistle blower on all the money that's being spent. 243 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.159 No, he's not a whistleblower. He is buying that portion 244 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.799 of the federal government. Is that right? 245 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.399 Yes? 246 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.759 For it. I hope he gets a good you know, 247 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:08.720 good deal. 248 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:14.320 Yeah, there's work left to be done. That's the word 249 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:20.039 from Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He says that they're 250 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.600 ready to finish the job against Iraq, and they can 251 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.399 do Iran Iran. I can't believe I said Iraq, probably 252 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.360 because I'm watching a show that has an Iraqi on it. Okay, 253 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.519 but Iran, And he says they'll do it with the 254 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.759 support of Trump. He said, over the last sixteenth month, 255 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.399 Israel has dealt a mighty blow to Iran's terror access 256 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.120 and under the strong leadership of President Trump, I have 257 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.360 no doubt that we can and will finish the job. 258 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:47.600 Okay, this is Rubio who is talking. 259 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.600 That was oh yes, get it. 260 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.000 And Rubio said there could never be a nuclear Ron. 261 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:54.720 He backed it up. 262 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.440 Okay. 263 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.159 So a quick one here, and that is Israel does 264 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:04.080 not move without American permission. America is that influential. As 265 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:09.320 I said earlier, Israel cannot probably not even survive without 266 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.720 American intervention, supplying of arms, etc. 267 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.440 And you had Biden, for example. 268 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.480 Israelis were not particularly happy with because oh no, You're 269 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.799 not going to go after the Iranian nuclear facilities. Oh no, 270 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.039 we have to be more objective. We can't deal one 271 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.240 way or the other. It's just not fair. It's just 272 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.120 not right. Trump comes in and he goes, oh, no, 273 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:36.440 we screw fairness if you call it that, we cannot 274 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.240 let Iran have nuclear weapons. 275 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:40.039 It's that simple. 276 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.440 He's always said that, by the way, and he has 277 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.279 said and we know the second that they build a 278 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.960 nuclear weapon or close to it, boom, Israel attacks. Now 279 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.960 they have the backing of the. 280 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:53.240 United States. 281 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.399 That agrees that Iran having nuclear weapons changes everything. 282 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.679 It changes everything. 283 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.360 And Nettigao, who says ain't going to happen, and the 284 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.440 Trump administration says ain't gonna happen, and I happen to 285 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.320 agree with that. Can you imagine Iran having a nuclear 286 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.360 weapon and backing up every terrorist organization in the world. 287 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.480 So it won't be a rn that is going to 288 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.159 detonate a nuclear weapon, which now can be put in 289 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.120 small packages. 290 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.360 It'll be one of the terrorists organizations. 291 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.960 It will be someone who's radicalized. In the United States, 292 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:32.799 we just had a stabbing in Germany where a radicalized 293 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.720 I think it was Hisserian refugee killed a fourteen year 294 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.399 old kid. 295 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:39.720 I mean that was yesterday. 296 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.519 So you know Israel, yes. 297 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.960 Palestinians or Iranians no. 298 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.120 The average price of gas in California has skyrocketed recent weeks. 299 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.360 It continues to go up and up and up, and 300 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.919 it is winking at that dreaded five dollars. 301 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.320 This is all according to Triple. 302 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.639 A and the average price of regular gas in California 303 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.759 was four dollars and eighty four cents on Saturday. That 304 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.919 number was up about twenty five cents from last Saturday, 305 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.120 and it continues to go up from there. But this 306 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.879 apparently has to do with that. And I love this. 307 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.320 We hear this all the time. Refineries begin to transition 308 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.080 to summer blends of fuel. And another thing we have 309 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.440 here in southern California and that there's a routine maintenance 310 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.320 in northern California going on. 311 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.360 You know, the last time a refinery was built in 312 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:40.600 California was forty two, forty three years ago. Now there 313 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.080 are seven major companies that are here. One of them 314 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.360 goes down, one refinery goes down for maintenance for whatever reason. 315 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:50.960 We're in a world of hurt. 316 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.639 And so I'm going to do that story coming up 317 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.960 at seven point fifty. And the question is should California 318 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:06.480 consider consider basically taking over the refineries as a governmental process. 319 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:12.039 It's already done in many countries. All right, one more 320 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:13.200 before we take a break. 321 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:19.400 NAACP is looking to cancel companies that cancel DEI. The 322 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.920 group says they want Black Americans to steer their buying 323 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.319 power toward corporations that haven't pulled back from DEI policies. 324 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.200 They put out a spending guide. It was released on Saturday. 325 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.480 They say it's needed because diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives 326 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.839 promote the social and economic advancement of all Black Americans 327 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.799 and DOUBLEACP president Derek Johnson said diversity is better for 328 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:45.559 the bottom line. 329 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.680 White uvas. No, now that's pretty obscure. I just want 330 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.000 to point that out. No, No, I'm going to explain 331 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.920 this one, because this is pretty obscure. You have white 332 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.240 raisins as opposed to dark raisins. Yeah, yes, clearing you know. 333 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.160 And so white raisins, if you buy white raisins, you're 334 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:06.880 called golden. 335 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.400 Yeah, golden raisins, but they're white. Okay. 336 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.279 And it used to be where the boycott of the 337 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.599 grape growers actually worked. That was Caesar Chavez. So golden 338 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.279 white raisins. No, now is. 339 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.599 The newest protest. See you get that. 340 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.359 I mean that went through a couple of very nuanced 341 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:32.920 it made sense. I'm telling you very good. You have 342 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.680 funny but very subtle and very good. 343 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.240 Nice job. 344 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.279 Yeah no, no, I'll take credit. 345 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:40.599 For that one. 346 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.839 White UVa's no. Okay. 347 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.240 Well, the Trump administration is sticking with Trump's very famous line, 348 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:59.519 you fired. You started firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees. 349 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.720 And I guess that means what have they been nailed 350 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.839 for less than a year or less than a year, 351 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.079 So this is not about them being on probation for 352 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.759 something they did. 353 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:09.960 This just means they're in right trial. Okay. 354 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.680 For example, a lot of companies ninety days and they 355 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.200 can fire you for any sort of any reason. Far leowbjections. 356 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.000 We don't know the exact number, but the head of 357 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.880 the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists said that several hundred workers 358 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.960 started getting firing notices on Friday and they could actually 359 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:29.920 be barred. 360 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.359 From facilities as of tomorrow after the holiday today. 361 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:40.359 By the way, I don't disagree in looking at quote everybody. 362 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.200 Every administration goes after fraud and waste, and when you 363 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.839 have two point three million employees, you're going to find 364 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.640 some stuff that well, let's just say shouldn't shouldn't happen. 365 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.720 But here's an example. 366 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:58.799 You have a case that a few hundred security workers 367 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:03.920 were fired from nuclear facilities to guard our weapons systems. 368 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.480 Oops. 369 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.960 So they fire them and then they unfire them the 370 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.359 next day. It's just it's moving too quickly, is what 371 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.920 it is. And then oops, that's exactly what they said. 372 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.359 Oops. 373 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.079 And then there are are great. 374 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.599 Stories of, you know, the ridiculous money that's being spent 375 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.200 for insane stuff. And the administration came out with a 376 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:32.279 list saying fifty million dollars for condoms for Palestinians. Two 377 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.240 days later it was one hundred million dollars. Now, keep 378 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.880 in mind, we have yet to see fraud and waste. 379 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.319 We have yet to see a pointed finger and saying, look, 380 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:45.160 what's happening. 381 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:47.240 It's firings right now. 382 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.039 And what it is is reducing the workforce. To reduce 383 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.200 the workforce, that's what's happening now. And they're only there 384 00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.240 haven't been all that many. There've been I think a few, 385 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.279 a few thousand relative to two point three million. 386 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.039 And it's just head count at this point. 387 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:06.039 I think it is. 388 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.319 I think it is well. The people that hand out 389 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.680 the condoms in Gaza one hundred million of dollars worth. 390 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.200 What is that? 391 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.279 That's two one hundred and eighty six for a man, 392 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:24.000 woman and child in Gaza. Those six year olds really 393 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:25.599 need him. I have no idea what the numbers are. 394 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:28.599 By the way, I'm just making that up. 395 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:36.640 More hostages are free. Three more hostages were released from 396 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.839 Hamas over the weekend in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. 397 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.519 It's part of the ceasefire agreement that appeared to have 398 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.920 been in jeopardy last week but appears to be back 399 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.200 on track again. The hostages were released in communis in 400 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.000 southern Gaza. It's the sixth release of hostages under the 401 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.160
