Speaker 1: You're listening to kf I Am six forty the bill
Speaker 1: handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And as
Speaker 1: I look, I'm broadcasting from home today, so I'm looking
Speaker 1: at everybody on a monitor.
Speaker 2: And let me see. I got Tony and well, first
Speaker 2: of all, Michelle in for and today.
Speaker 3: Hello morning.
Speaker 1: I pointed out Michelle wore a baseball hat, which normally
Speaker 1: means unlike Cono, it means that she didn't wash her
Speaker 1: hair this morning. True, and she actually admitted that any
Speaker 1: woman wearing a baseball cap at three o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: it's a hair issue. Tony, who also doesn't have a
Speaker 1: hair issue because he has.
Speaker 3: No hair while so true, I used to have really
Speaker 3: nice long hair. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to to. It was just I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it. There's a great story about me and a rug,
Speaker 1: but not gonna happen any case. Tony is in for
Speaker 1: CONO today, and I understand Cono maybe back tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Right, That's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Michelle, And now leaving the last three, uh,
Speaker 1: that is Amy, Neil and Will. And the reason I'm
Speaker 1: leaving the last three is because as I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the monitor and myself. We're all sucking up on our coffee.
Speaker 1: There was any sucking up on some drink? You, Neil
Speaker 1: sucking up on your little espresso cup out of the skull, Yes,
Speaker 1: will Cole Schreiber sucking up and then eating some incredibly
Speaker 1: unidentifiable food that he doesn't even know what the hell
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: Well, what is that you're munching on? By that? It's
Speaker 3: a rice Krispy treat from Michelle's drawer.
Speaker 2: I keep on forgetting. She keeps a whole drawer full
Speaker 2: of this stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh, it's an Armageddon drawer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a free snack drawer.
Speaker 1: So, by the way, who pays for those snacks?
Speaker 4: This is the result? Well, people donate, you know, a
Speaker 4: couple of bucks here and there. But this is the
Speaker 4: result of me going out to Yamaba every Sunday and
Speaker 4: getting my free two hundred dollars gift part.
Speaker 3: Oh that's what. That's very sweet. Have I ever put
Speaker 3: into the pot for food like that?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely correct, I have never done that. Yes, that
Speaker 1: is true. Do you know that up on the fifth floor,
Speaker 1: Because we're all on the fourth floor, we're the poor
Speaker 1: step sisters of iHeartRadio up on the fifth floor where
Speaker 1: all the fms are and all the salespeople and all
Speaker 1: the management people are up there.
Speaker 3: We're just sort of by ourselves down here.
Speaker 1: They have free snacks, they have free drinks.
Speaker 2: For everybody up there.
Speaker 1: What do we have, Well, when Michelle can steal enough stuff,
Speaker 1: we have a drawer full. And then if you want
Speaker 1: a snack or something, you go down the hall and
Speaker 1: we have that little mini seven to eleven, you know,
Speaker 1: the honor thing what they.
Speaker 2: Have a video.
Speaker 1: It's not that hard to fake it out. I do
Speaker 1: that all the time, as I pretend that I'm scanning
Speaker 1: and I just leave and just grab that stuff. And
Speaker 1: so far, so good because someone is not watching particularly carefully.
Speaker 1: It's not a Las Vegas kind of security where someone's
Speaker 1: watching in a security.
Speaker 3: Room cameras in there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy, isn't it. But it's not that hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been stealing stuff from there for years.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's basically a hello to Amy Heloda will aload
Speaker 1: of Neil Anna, Hello, and hello to me.
Speaker 2: And you're gone next week, Amy.
Speaker 3: Yes for how long?
Speaker 5: Uh, well, be gone for eight or nine days or
Speaker 5: something like that.
Speaker 3: But just just for a week here, Oh it's a staycation.
Speaker 5: No, I just won't be in the studio at KFI
Speaker 5: for a week, but I'll be gone for almost two.
Speaker 2: Well okay, well okay. Another way of.
Speaker 3: Managing, where do you plan on going?
Speaker 2: Can I ask?
Speaker 4: Or?
Speaker 5: Is we're going to Paris?
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness, I've ever been. Oh my, it's very French. French.
Speaker 6: You gotta get a and Bill you'll probably agree. You
Speaker 6: gotta get up.
Speaker 2: A couple of things.
Speaker 1: You have to sit down with me and I have
Speaker 1: to have a conversation. For example, don't go up the
Speaker 1: Eiffull Tower.
Speaker 5: No, I have no plans to go.
Speaker 1: Waste of time because one of the things people don't realize.
Speaker 1: Part of the French landscape is the Eiffel Tower, of course,
Speaker 1: and you can't see the Eiffel Tower if you're at
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower. People don't sort of realize that. Actually
Speaker 1: the best place to go is Galeries Lafayette, which is
Speaker 1: one of the big department stores, and the one on Champstelys.
Speaker 3: There's a little observation desk. It's free and.
Speaker 1: It gets the best view of Paris you could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: What's it called Galleryries Lafayette.
Speaker 3: I think that's on my list.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the big department stores. And then
Speaker 1: the other words, let trumps or whatever the hell they
Speaker 1: call it, and what else about.
Speaker 2: The French people incredibly rude?
Speaker 1: Do you know that the first time I went to Paris,
Speaker 1: I had a French Canadian girlfriend and I knew that
Speaker 1: the French were so rude. I actually had her teach
Speaker 1: me in anticipation of dealing with waiters. Your mother was
Speaker 1: a Nazi collaborator during World War Two, wasn't she? And
Speaker 1: let me tell you how that went over two things.
Speaker 1: It didn't make them any more rude.
Speaker 2: And second of all, you know it's France.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the other thing you know about
Speaker 1: France is it's the most it's the loveliest city on
Speaker 1: the planet. It's just absolutely gorgeous. But it's filled with
Speaker 1: French people. And you say, this is.
Speaker 2: What the neutron bomb was invented for.
Speaker 3: Oh, take everybody out, leave all the buildings alone, and then.
Speaker 1: Move Ashkansh, Wisconsin, some of the friendliest people in the
Speaker 1: world into Paris.
Speaker 3: Life is over. Okay you reyuys ready to do it? Yes,
Speaker 3: let's do it.
Speaker 2: It's time for Handle on the News with Amy Neil
Speaker 2: and me.
Speaker 7: Lead story, LA County. It's a strike today and that's
Speaker 7: through tomorrow. Fifty five thousand LA County workers. It's a
Speaker 7: two days strike. This is the first.
Speaker 1: Time the union, the SEIU Local seven twenty one, which
Speaker 1: represents everybody, first time its members have walked off the job.
Speaker 1: So what county departments, libraries, some healthcare. Healthcare clinics will
Speaker 1: be closed, although it's going to make no difference because
Speaker 1: you're going to be in the waiting room that long anyway,
Speaker 1: so you'll never notice that it's closed. Some hospitals remain open.
Speaker 1: Beach debris cleanup may be paused, and so we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens.
Speaker 2: To know, yeah, that's true. You wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: And this story is kind of interesting. LA time story
Speaker 1: is that the county still has a triple A rating
Speaker 1: credit rating despite a four billion dollars Sex of You settlement,
Speaker 1: has reserves, it's been well managed, has a very deep
Speaker 1: tax base, and LA has none of.
Speaker 5: That one hundred and twenty k in one hundred days.
Speaker 5: Actually it's almost one hundred and forty k in one
Speaker 5: hundred days. Immigration, of course, a big thing for President Trump.
Speaker 5: And White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said in the
Speaker 5: morning briefing, the administration is in the beginning stages of
Speaker 5: carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history. About
Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty nine thousand people have been removed
Speaker 5: so far, according to the White House.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk a little bit more about that.
Speaker 1: This is part of the Trump's first one hundred days,
Speaker 1: and he's comparing himself to the first hundred days of FDR.
Speaker 1: Some similarities big time and a few dissimilarities, and I'll
Speaker 1: point that out coming up at seven am.
Speaker 6: And on those hundred days, of course comes rating and
Speaker 6: a report card. So twice as many people said President
Speaker 6: Trump deserves a grade of F which is fail rather
Speaker 6: than an A for now he's handled his first hundred
Speaker 6: days in office. This is according to a new NPR
Speaker 6: PBS I know Marris pol but forty five percent said
Speaker 6: Trump deserves a failing mark compared to twenty three percent
Speaker 6: who would pass him with flying colors. Of course, this
Speaker 6: is going to be partisan, very strongly down the middle,
Speaker 6: but you know they look at independence a lot on
Speaker 6: these things, and that's where margins are changing.
Speaker 1: Big time and We're going to talk a lot more
Speaker 1: about that also later on. And it's just it's crazy,
Speaker 1: it really is, how this has broken down. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is ridiculous down partisan lines. Although I tell you
Speaker 1: I think things are going to change as these tariffs
Speaker 1: really come into play again. I was talking to my
Speaker 1: partner Saville when we're dealing with this Herras. We're at
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five percent terrorists right now, dealing
Speaker 1: with China, and we have a shipment coming in and we.
Speaker 3: Have no choice. We've got to take it. All right.
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that later on.
Speaker 6: And meantime, I want to want me to start a
Speaker 6: gofund me You okay, buddy, Yeah, we're worried about you.
Speaker 3: Find it's not me, guy, Your money not me.
Speaker 2: I have money put away. But we've got twenty employees.
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do because we're taking I take
Speaker 1: all their money, much like whenever you get a bonus,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting contract negotiation. Yeah, it is mostly favored
Speaker 3: nation clause.
Speaker 2: You're gonna look that one up. All right, we'll be back.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: And let's continue more Handle on the News with Amy King,
Speaker 1: Nil Subedra and Me Well.
Speaker 3: Canada gets Carney for a full term.
Speaker 5: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his country will never
Speaker 5: yield to the United States. His comments come as he
Speaker 5: declares victory in federal elections. He says he promises to
Speaker 5: represent everyone who calls Canada home and also said that
Speaker 5: President Trump is trying to break us, so America can
Speaker 5: own us. Carney said that will never happen.
Speaker 1: Now, this is an interesting, very interesting election, less than
Speaker 1: what a month ago or six weeks ago, the Liberal Party,
Speaker 1: Carney's party was being trounced by the Conservative I.
Speaker 2: Mean there was a thirty point difference. I mean it
Speaker 2: was astounding.
Speaker 1: And as Trump revved up his not anti Canadian rhetoric,
Speaker 1: actually pretty pro Canadian rhetic because he believes that the United.
Speaker 2: States would be better off with.
Speaker 1: Canada's our fifty first state, and certainly Canada would be
Speaker 1: better off as our fifty first state. There was the
Speaker 1: switch was unbelievable and Carney ended up running on.
Speaker 2: Anti Trump movement.
Speaker 1: And what the President has done is he has created
Speaker 1: this solidarity in Canada that you've never ever seen. Matter
Speaker 1: of fact, you're going to see the national dish. Now
Speaker 1: U in Canada is now chili.
Speaker 3: Did you know that? It's like chili incarnate what.
Speaker 6: They don't say thank you anymore? They say thanks That's
Speaker 6: that's the mood. Now he's you know, Trump's a unifier.
Speaker 2: Oh you bet.
Speaker 1: He is not quite the way he intended sometimes, but.
Speaker 3: Certainly nations are unified. Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 6: So more than uh ninety nine percent of power networks
Speaker 6: in Spain were restored just by this morning.
Speaker 3: They have stabilized.
Speaker 6: Electricity supply has been in Spain and Portugal, but.
Speaker 3: It's been restored.
Speaker 6: Now huge blackout left millions of households in the dark,
Speaker 6: but powers back on. They're looking towards what caused this,
Speaker 6: and the outage was the second massive failure of European
Speaker 6: power systems in as many months of it.
Speaker 1: And they're I mean they're looking at it. Is this
Speaker 1: some kind of sabotage, some kind of hacking.
Speaker 2: I mean, no one knows at this.
Speaker 1: Point, although you know it's you think the first thing
Speaker 1: comes to mind, there's something untoward here. But do you
Speaker 1: remember the in the seventies when the entire Eastern Seaboard
Speaker 1: was plunged into darkness for days. It was a squirrel
Speaker 1: or a rat eating a power line inside of a
Speaker 1: power station that just plunged everything into darkness the cascading
Speaker 1: and we're going to see if that happened here too.
Speaker 3: I wonder what happened to the rat.
Speaker 2: It got fried pretty well.
Speaker 5: Let's party on the promenade. City councils considering our proposal
Speaker 5: to allow public drinking in Santa Monica's on the Third
Speaker 5: Street Promenade. The CEO of Downtown Santa Monica, Andrew Thomas, says,
Speaker 5: I think it's the biggest thing that's happened to the
Speaker 5: promenade since the promenade was built. The zone would become
Speaker 5: a first of it's kind in the state. Force Governor
Speaker 5: Newsom passed to build allowing public drinking in entertainment zones,
Speaker 5: and Santa Monica's would be Public drinking is allowed from
Speaker 5: eight am to two am every day.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, have you been there in a while?
Speaker 2: No, not in a long time.
Speaker 3: Day the day you have public drinking, it's just homeless people.
Speaker 3: They're just making it legal. There in years public pooping
Speaker 3: and peeing. Oh I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that, but it's you know, it's almost like
Speaker 1: Bourbon Street when you go down there and the drinking
Speaker 1: on the street, and the bars have these Dutch doors
Speaker 1: where the top opens up to the street and just
Speaker 1: grab drinks almost on the run.
Speaker 3: It is the first.
Speaker 6: Fun place to drink on the planet. It's Bourbon Street.
Speaker 6: It's a lot of fun to.
Speaker 3: Drink so well.
Speaker 1: And I think it would change thing because the argument
Speaker 1: is that tourism is going to go up and people
Speaker 1: will have more fun, will stay longer, and spend more money.
Speaker 1: I guess that works. I don't drink, so I have
Speaker 1: no idea. Well you better start, Yeah, I better start, because.
Speaker 5: You're gonna miss out on all the fun otherwise.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Back to Santa Monica. But this is people that are upset.
Speaker 6: They're upset with what they describe as noise pollution caused
Speaker 6: by waymo charging stations. And this isn't a particular neighborhood.
Speaker 6: It's by Broadway near Euclid Street, and it's surrounded by homes, schools,
Speaker 6: and businesses. If you remember, we talked about this a
Speaker 6: couple months back. I think back in November when they
Speaker 6: started doing this. They communicate by honking, and so neighbors
Speaker 6: were pissed off.
Speaker 3: About that.
Speaker 6: But now they're trying to get a petition signed because
Speaker 6: there's like beeping or when they back up, there's and
Speaker 6: they kind of go into this one parking structure and
Speaker 6: they're constantly beeping and making noise as to parking. One guy,
Speaker 6: I think at one point, got nailed for blocking the
Speaker 6: way so the cars could the way.
Speaker 3: More vehicles got career.
Speaker 1: It's like following someone on the freeway who's doing thirty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour has a bumper sticker that says
Speaker 1: honk if you love Jesus, Oh boy, and the more
Speaker 1: you honk, the more they like it. And they don't
Speaker 1: quite get what's going on, Like get the hell out
Speaker 1: of the way, just a big.
Speaker 3: Thumbs up, keep on trucking. Yeah, Okay, one.
Speaker 2: More and then we'll take a break.
Speaker 5: Well, we were talking about way Mo driverless cars, and
Speaker 5: it looks like California is ready to allow testing of
Speaker 5: autonomous truck on public roadways. I think they're talking about
Speaker 5: the big ones. The state has been at the center
Speaker 5: of America's self driving taxi arena, but now it's really
Speaker 5: held back on testing for the bigger, big rig trucks.
Speaker 5: And now they're saying that Under a proposed new framework,
Speaker 5: work heavy duty avs weighing ten thousand pounds or more
Speaker 5: can be tested with a DMV approved permit.
Speaker 1: The Teamsters Union, of course, is coming out against this,
Speaker 1: and it says for two reasons. One it would jeopardize
Speaker 1: job security. Good for them for being honest about that.
Speaker 1: It's going to put drivers out of work. And then
Speaker 1: the other one, it's going to compromise road safety, because
Speaker 1: that's really critical to.
Speaker 3: The Teamsters Union. It's always for road safety.
Speaker 1: We're fighting these because we care about you.
Speaker 3: That's what it's about.
Speaker 1: It's going to turn out that these autonomous vehicles are
Speaker 1: safer by an order of magnitude than drivers.
Speaker 2: It's that simple.
Speaker 1: Ask any pilot who flies in bad weather, and every
Speaker 1: pilot will tell you trust the instruments. Trust the instruments,
Speaker 1: do not trust yourself. And so the technology today allows,
Speaker 1: well it's gonna be safer.
Speaker 2: So I got to get kudos to the Teamsters Union.
Speaker 1: Good for you for saying it's about our jobs and
Speaker 1: we don't care. All right, We're gonna take a break,
Speaker 1: come back and we'll continue on with more handle on
Speaker 1: the news. On this lovely Tuesday morning.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 8: six forty and.
Speaker 1: We have a yet more handle on the news with
Speaker 1: Amy Neil and Me.
Speaker 6: Nothing more beautiful than when you lose a wiener, the
Speaker 6: wiener comes home. You've got Valerie, the want to runaway
Speaker 6: miniature Dots in Australia has been found alive after she
Speaker 6: went missing for five hund in twenty nine days in
Speaker 6: the wilderness this wildlife area there on Kangaroo Island off
Speaker 6: the coast of South Australia, and.
Speaker 3: She's alive and she's well.
Speaker 6: The dog was presumed dead since it was highly unlikely
Speaker 6: that you could have a small dog survive alone on
Speaker 6: Kangaroo Island. You got venomous snakes, you got spiders that
Speaker 6: are venomous. And about a year later, frequent sightings of
Speaker 6: the Dots and with its pink collar began to emerge,
Speaker 6: and these wildlife searchers spent you know, tons of times,
Speaker 6: just one thousand hours, three thousand miles.
Speaker 2: And they were able to rescue this little dog.
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind there were half a dozen people
Speaker 1: that were lost that no one went out to rescue,
Speaker 1: that all starved to death.
Speaker 2: But this little docson got it. Shut out. I have
Speaker 2: two of them, so cute.
Speaker 1: I have two little docks and so I know cute
Speaker 1: is cute, but you know, little dog obviously, and they're
Speaker 1: a little and they're just so sweet. These little dogs,
Speaker 1: I mean, they just love to curl up next to people.
Speaker 1: Got Izzy and I have Tommy.
Speaker 3: Well if we look at we lost, look at the
Speaker 3: picture of it. I spend a thousand minutes, I know,
Speaker 3: to find you.
Speaker 1: Look at this little she is so sweet. I have
Speaker 1: a uh my, Izzy has that coloring. A little chocolate
Speaker 1: covered little dog.
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on.
Speaker 5: Apparently nobody's pulling over in La because the County sheriff
Speaker 5: Department has now launched a public safety campaign called Emergency
Speaker 5: Lights Pull to the right yuh every second counts during
Speaker 5: an emergency response, said the La Sheriff's Department. They say,
Speaker 5: whether it's a Sheriff's unit or a police car, a
Speaker 5: fire engine, ambulance or emergency vehicle, you need to do
Speaker 5: do your part and clear the path quickly and safely.
Speaker 5: Ellie kind of Sheriff for Luna, says people are flat
Speaker 5: out ignoring emergency vehicles.
Speaker 4: This happens in my neighborhood all the time. I will
Speaker 4: pull over a guy in front of me with for
Speaker 4: a vehicle. The two people behind me will go around the.
Speaker 2: Right past ice.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's two things that have happened recently, or maybe three.
Speaker 1: One speeding no longer exists as a violation. Go on
Speaker 1: it anyway, and if you're not doing eighty five miles
Speaker 1: an hour, the traffic blows past you. Stop signs are
Speaker 1: now merely for decoration.
Speaker 3: I get that.
Speaker 1: It's sort of a Christmas y decoration. They're red and
Speaker 1: they just put some green laurels on there, and no
Speaker 1: one stops or pulls over. As Michelle just said, for
Speaker 1: emergency vehicles.
Speaker 3: They just ignore them.
Speaker 6: Even worse is hit and run is not a crime
Speaker 6: anymore in people's eyes.
Speaker 3: They do that all the time. Now it's stiff front
Speaker 3: here all the time.
Speaker 2: Of course you do in your neighborhood.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, pay a pretty penny to be nestled between
Speaker 6: a couple of ghettos.
Speaker 3: Nice my life, Yeah all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: In a new survey, young Americans are feeling lonelier and
Speaker 6: more anxious about the future compared to their older compatriots
Speaker 6: because they're on their phones all the time. When asked
Speaker 6: about the frequency of feeling lonely or isolated from those around,
Speaker 6: you know, just being separate from everybody around them. Twenty
Speaker 6: nine percent of the NBC News Stay Tuned poll respondents
Speaker 6: to age eighteen to twenty nine said they experienced those
Speaker 6: emotions all the time or most of the time. Twenty
Speaker 6: six percent of respondents to age thirty to forty four
Speaker 6: said they experienced that, while fifteen percent age forty five
Speaker 6: to fifty four and eight percent of age sixty five
Speaker 6: and up said the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are just lonelier.
Speaker 2: They are now, and they're and masturbation is way up.
Speaker 1: It's really really your house. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: personal here, but you know there's a corollary. There's a
Speaker 1: direct connection to that.
Speaker 3: You know that there's a coronary. Yeah, back too, probably yes,
Speaker 3: that then later. Yeah, the point is that it's considering it.
Speaker 2: The world is about.
Speaker 3: I can see that.
Speaker 1: I can see and now I've always been lonely, so
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know, everybody always hated me, and
Speaker 1: I hate everybody.
Speaker 3: But it's still you know, I've given that some thought.
Speaker 3: You know why that is, Bill, You know why you
Speaker 3: feel that way because I'm a dig yep. Okay, well,
Speaker 3: there you go.
Speaker 2: That answers that question.
Speaker 1: Why don't we take a break with that and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and finish up Handle on the News on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 8: am six forty.
Speaker 1: Well, going back a million years ago, we had a
Speaker 1: producer here who ended up having a show I think
Speaker 1: on weekends and I think one of the one or two,
Speaker 1: and homelessness was a big issue back then. And what
Speaker 1: he did is advocated dealing with homeless simply by killing
Speaker 1: them all.
Speaker 3: And he got remember that.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I'll tell you during the break because next
Speaker 1: time it was hilarious. Well it wasn't hilarious, but anyway, Linda,
Speaker 1: needless to say, his career as a TA show host
Speaker 1: was over very quickly.
Speaker 2: Okay, although I do that all the time on hand.
Speaker 1: If you ever notice Handle on the lawn, people complain
Speaker 1: and usually as guy's going through a horrible divorce. My
Speaker 1: wife is she wants all my money, She's taking everything
Speaker 1: away from me. I'm spending zillions of dollars. I go
Speaker 1: just kill her for God's sake. Now, that takes care
Speaker 1: of everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but people don't take you seriously.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the law, well said the news,
Speaker 1: yeah or anything and yes, and with that, why don't
Speaker 1: we go back to and finish up handle on the
Speaker 1: news with Neil big fan of mine and Amy and me.
Speaker 5: Oh great, another exclusive club we can't get into. Donald
Speaker 5: Trump Junior, a mega donor, and other investors, are launching
Speaker 5: an invite only club that costs more than a half
Speaker 5: million dollars to join, with an exclusive post White House
Speaker 5: correspondence dinner gathering. It's called the Executive Branch. The goal, apparently,
Speaker 5: is to create the highest end private club Washington has
Speaker 5: ever had, cater to businesses and tech moguls who are
Speaker 5: looking to nurture their relationships with the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: That's, according to Politico, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It's Studio fifty four thousand, and it is going to
Speaker 1: be and they have a waiting list. What is it,
Speaker 1: half a million dollars to join and then I don't
Speaker 1: even know how much per year, And you can assume that.
Speaker 3: It's just a ton of money, all just accurret.
Speaker 1: No other president, no other administration, no other presidential family
Speaker 1: would dream of doing stuff like this, and it's just
Speaker 1: regular stuff here.
Speaker 6: Are for the course. Wow, But for five million, you
Speaker 6: can get a green card. So it's got to you
Speaker 6: gotta think about where you want to spend your money.
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, now, are right?
Speaker 6: Democrats are embracing the F bomb. This is in congressional
Speaker 6: campaign messaging. They seek to tap into their parties anger.
Speaker 6: So just within the last handful of weeks you got
Speaker 6: a number of newly launched Democratic hopefuls for you know,
Speaker 6: key House and Senate seats. They have pledged to unf
Speaker 6: our country or have urged their party to drop the
Speaker 6: excuses and grow a fing spine. I had to make
Speaker 6: sure it didn't say that the ads are indicative of
Speaker 6: the rising temperature obviously here in America with political differences
Speaker 6: in general.

Speaker 5: the mountain. He was up at about ninety eight hundred
Speaker 5: feet on the Fuji no Mia trail. Yeah, and he
Speaker 5: lost his crampons. Those are those things that you attached
Speaker 5: to your boots so you can dig into the ice,
Speaker 5: and then they rescued him.
Speaker 3: He was great. And then a few days.
Speaker 5: Later he went back to the mountain to go get
Speaker 5: the stuff that he left behind, including his cell phone,
