Speaker 1: an interesting situation. I'm at home, my home studio, and
Speaker 1: the internet is down, so or the internet is clicking
Speaker 1: or just going in and out.
Speaker 2: I'm freezing everybody.
Speaker 3: So that kept you from turning on the mic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's the technology. It's the on off
Speaker 1: switch that's driving me crazy. No, you turn it on,
Speaker 1: you're on the air. You turn it off, you're not.
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure that out.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 1: I have said many times I don't understand cell phones.
Speaker 1: To me, a telephone without a wire to the wall,
Speaker 1: I just don't get.
Speaker 3: Go out on a high note, sir.
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, you.
Speaker 1: Can tell I'm well, but I'm the generation that didn't
Speaker 1: grow up with computers. So I don't think, for example,
Speaker 1: I don't think in terms of, you know, photographing a
Speaker 1: document and sending it.
Speaker 2: I just don't think about that. It just doesn't in
Speaker 2: my mind.
Speaker 3: Light with a switch and turning on.
Speaker 1: I know now, the light with the switch I get
Speaker 1: because I grew up with that. But I remember when
Speaker 1: the first computer. I wasn't very old, but when the
Speaker 1: first computer was on Popular Mechanics, and it was the little.
Speaker 2: Home set that you built.
Speaker 1: You bought the parts and you built this little, tiny, crappy,
Speaker 1: no monitor or anything computer. That was the beginning of
Speaker 1: the computer rates. I remember Atari's I do remember IBM.
Speaker 1: I mean I was around computers.
Speaker 2: Where they are. It was there there before I was.
Speaker 1: You know, IBM actually created well, the first computer actually
Speaker 1: was created during World War Two. Alan Turning invented the
Speaker 1: machine that broke the No, there you go, you're out,
Speaker 1: that broke the Yeah, that's right, and that's it was
Speaker 1: called the Turning Machine. Great movie with Benedict Cumberbund, very
Speaker 1: very strong, cumber bed Yeah whatever, you know, he's just good.
Speaker 2: I know, that's awesome. Yeah, he really is. In any case.
Speaker 1: That was, and the IBM computers in those days were
Speaker 1: and they weren't very powerful relative today. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: got a lot more power in a wristwatch and an
Speaker 1: Apple fit. But they whole rooms and they used to
Speaker 1: put they put him in the middle of the floors
Speaker 1: of the executive suite and it was glass walls, and
Speaker 1: the operators were these guys in white lab coats.
Speaker 2: And it was really secretive and it was really high end.

Speaker 2: It's been an open book for thirty one years. It
Speaker 2: will be thirty two years in July that I've been

Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: We'll put some pictures up. I think.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, you ready to do it because we
Speaker 1: have a ton of news even though I have no Internet.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't see you. I can't see you. Guys.
Speaker 2: You can go commando for all you know. You can
Speaker 2: do what I do.
Speaker 3: You know, And that's half the time all see each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not below the waist. So that's.
Speaker 4: And telling on me.
Speaker 1: I know you see there you go. Oh God, I
Speaker 1: love this. People are wondering what's going on. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: do it, guys. Time for handle on the news on
Speaker 1: this very rainy Thursday, March thirteenth.
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Neil and Amy and me lead.
Speaker 1: Story, I say, And it looks like the Senate is
Speaker 1: going to say no to that governmental funding bill that
Speaker 1: the Republicans passed through Congress precisely what President Trump wanted,
Speaker 1: and the Speaker Mike Johnson put it through straight party
Speaker 1: lines basically, and the Senate is saying no.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: The Senate Democrats have a lot more control over what
Speaker 1: goes on by the virtue of the Senate and filibuster rules, etc.
Speaker 1: And they're saying no because they're saying, look what happened
Speaker 1: the Republicans that they created the bill. There was no
Speaker 1: democratic input at all in the House. So tomorrow night
Speaker 1: the government either goes on with a vote and the
Speaker 1: Senate and House somehow come to an agreement, or the
Speaker 1: government shuts down. We'll see who it gets to blame
Speaker 1: this time around. Usually the Republicans get the blame.
Speaker 4: Got a hoax at the hospital.
Speaker 7: There was a report last night of someone with a
Speaker 7: gun at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, prompted a massive
Speaker 7: police response.
Speaker 4: Some of the hospital had to be locked down.
Speaker 7: Sheriff Shannons and San Bernardino County said the guy called
Speaker 7: nine to one one said he was at the hospital
Speaker 7: with an AR fifteen and a bomb, was hearing voices
Speaker 7: and the voices were telling him basically to shoot the
Speaker 7: place up. So huge response. People inside were told to
Speaker 7: hide or stay and fight, and just a scary, scary time.
Speaker 4: Turns out it was a hoax. They're saying it's a
Speaker 4: swatting call.
Speaker 2: Now this is in a hospital.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And I've always thought that something along these lines,
Speaker 1: school hospital, et cetera. Whoever does this, when they're caught
Speaker 1: should get twenty five years to life and then be
Speaker 1: thrown in the general population, and the words should go
Speaker 1: out the guy's a child molester and let him deal
Speaker 1: with what's going on there.
Speaker 2: It is that serious. I mean, you've got that this
Speaker 2: is a children's hospital.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, guys, really, and it's probably a misdemeanor.
Speaker 2: You know, we're a low level felony.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and take a break and
Speaker 1: go through some of these fall and I think we
Speaker 1: have time for one more for the break.
Speaker 5: Promising to drive a dagger through the heart of the
Speaker 5: climate change religion, Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zelden just
Speaker 5: yesterday outline plans for a very aggressive rollback of environmental regulations,
Speaker 5: so arguing that you know, deregulation plan would create an
Speaker 5: environment where businesses can thrive. This keeps this is a
Speaker 5: similar argument for all of these layoffs and everything. Infrastructure
Speaker 5: can be built, all these different things.
Speaker 1: But until then, yeah, this is and this has to
Speaker 1: do with climate change.
Speaker 2: Doesn't believe the climate change is even here.
Speaker 1: It's gone from a hoax to okay, it's here, but
Speaker 1: it's not man made to Okay, it's here, but it's
Speaker 1: not an existent exit essential.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not too threat. And so the.
Speaker 1: Bottom line is climate change doesn't affect us and we're
Speaker 1: not going to deal with it. And industry is far
Speaker 1: more important, especially the energy industry and fossil fuels are
Speaker 1: here to go. As the President said, it's time to drill, baby, drill,
Speaker 1: and that's where we're going. That's what's happening for the
Speaker 1: next four years. And climate change is going to get worse.
Speaker 1: But it's already there.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we've.
Speaker 1: Gone right into critical mass. I don't know why people
Speaker 1: keep on saying scientists, Oh, we can still stop the swing. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're heading towards Army Geddon instead at eighty five
Speaker 1: miles an hour, we slow it down to sixty five
Speaker 1: miles an hour.
Speaker 7: Okay, great, we've got tit for Tat tariffs, a new
Speaker 7: round of tariffs has been launched aluminum and steel that
Speaker 7: went into effect yesterday, and so then the European Union
Speaker 7: responded saying we're going to roll out twenty eight billion
Speaker 7: dollars in retaliatory tariffs next month on products including bourbon
Speaker 7: that hits, home genes and agricultural products. Britain's trade secretary
Speaker 7: said his country would keep all options on the table.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you we're about to enter a trade war.
Speaker 1: And when President Trump said he's going to shake up
Speaker 1: the government, man, he was serious. Now, the only thing
Speaker 1: is day one prices were going to be dropped.
Speaker 2: By the first year, they're going to go in half.
Speaker 2: Well not quite, it's going to go the other way.
Speaker 1: So now the President has said, Okay, we're going to
Speaker 1: have a slight amount of time, a small amount of
Speaker 1: time while we adjust. That's a big difference from prices
Speaker 1: are going to be dropping.
Speaker 2: They're not. All right, let's move on. Can were talking
Speaker 2: to a lot more about this go ahead.
Speaker 3: It's a crazy, crazy story.
Speaker 5: If you saw the footage of this customer at the
Speaker 5: CarMax they're in Inglewood suddenly and erradically turned and reversed
Speaker 5: his SUV into the dealership showroom just on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 5: Suspected driver twenty five year old Andrew Jesus Arroyo. He
Speaker 5: injured an employee, several customers and it was I just
Speaker 5: utter chaos. So the vehicle ended up speeding away. Royo
Speaker 5: turned himself into the authorities. The Englewood Police said eight
Speaker 5: people were injured in the chaos, Two were taking trauma
Speaker 5: centers with critical injuries, and one person is left paralyzed. Oh,
Speaker 5: and they said that he was unhappy with what they
Speaker 5: offered him for his vehicle, which is strange because CarMax
Speaker 5: does a good jobs with them. Yeah they yah.
Speaker 2: I've sold Carmacks a couple of times and they're great.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I don't know if there was a secondary episode
Speaker 5: or something going on, but scary, it was.
Speaker 3: Pretty chaotic.
Speaker 7: Did you say, Neil that he went to get a quote? Yes, okay,
Speaker 7: all right, sorry, I was distracted.
Speaker 3: No, not a problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my job, by the way. Oh, okay, being distracted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 7: So the virus is doing what viruses do, and it's mutating.
Speaker 7: We're talking about the H five N one bird flu virus.
Speaker 7: Scientists sounding alarms. There's a genetic mutation recently identified in
Speaker 7: four dairy cow herds, nearly a year after we got
Speaker 7: our first cases of H five N one bird flu.
Speaker 7: This one is believed to have been located in San
Speaker 7: Bernardino County.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 7: They're saying that they're worried about it because it's associated
Speaker 7: with increased mammal to mammal transmission and also a more
Speaker 7: severe disease.
Speaker 1: All right, so we know that in the bird population,
Speaker 1: particularly which affects us hens and eggs, which is why
Speaker 1: egg prices have just exploded.
Speaker 2: Hundreds of millions of.
Speaker 1: Birds I have been destroyed when this thing goes ahead
Speaker 1: and transfers to human beings like what COVID did. How
Speaker 1: many hundreds of millions of Americans you think are gonna
Speaker 1: have to be destroyed to stop this from going?
Speaker 3: Well? Are we chicking? Kno?
Speaker 5: Before he comes in in the morning. Didn't that take
Speaker 5: place in San Burdu.
Speaker 3: That's county. It's a big county.
Speaker 2: What city do you live in?
Speaker 3: Cono?
Speaker 2: Oh? So Lomlna is not Methland. That's uh the other cities.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's more like Fontana, Hemmett.
Speaker 3: Fontana's looking great these days.
Speaker 2: Do we have listeners in Fontana?
Speaker 3: I'm sure yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, so I can't. I can't refer to it as
Speaker 2: Fontucky the way a lot of people do.
Speaker 5: I will tell you if you've driven through uh Fontana.
Speaker 2: I have, and I did it very quickly.
Speaker 1: I might add both in terms of fear and turn
Speaker 1: of being high on meth.
Speaker 3: I think it's quite lovely. Well, there's I've never been.
Speaker 2: Actually, I think I went once to the racetrack. Wasn't
Speaker 2: there a really great racetrack in Fontana? And is it
Speaker 2: still around?
Speaker 3: What kind of racetrack are you talking about?
Speaker 2: The kind of car Nascar? I went once there or
Speaker 2: some event. It wasn't cars, it was you know, something there.
Speaker 2: I remember what it was.
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on, sure.
Speaker 5: The Ninth Court, a circuit court of appeals, has ruled
Speaker 5: that more than sixteen hundred sexual assault cases against Uber
Speaker 5: will be allowed to continue before a single San Francisco judge.
Speaker 5: This is a move that has massive, far reaching implications
Speaker 5: for the right healing app.
Speaker 3: And others.
Speaker 5: I mean, this kind of can go across any home
Speaker 5: sharing type platforms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the walking services. Yeah, they haven't screened enough. They
Speaker 1: haven't vetted enough. Now, the legal part of this is
Speaker 1: interesting because the I said we're going to take all
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and consolidate and put them into one case.
Speaker 1: What Uber is saying, Oh no, they're stopping it, saying no,
Speaker 1: we want to separate every case, and that means sixteen
Speaker 1: hundred individual cases. They all get their own lawyers. But
Speaker 1: it's a good thing for them that they have to
Speaker 1: get their own lawyer as opposed to a mass representation
Speaker 1: or a mass lawsuit, because each case could be heard
Speaker 1: on its own merits rather than in one clearing house proceeding.
Speaker 1: So we're doing you a favor by saying we don't consolidate,
Speaker 1: because that's what we really care about you as plaintiffs
Speaker 1: suing us. That's the most important thing is protecting you.
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a lot about the pharmaceutical industries. We
Speaker 1: want to raise prices to help you. That's why we're
Speaker 1: against any regulation.
Speaker 3: To do sixteen hundred cases.
Speaker 1: Now, they would all do it on contingency, but it
Speaker 1: would be crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this makes sense. It's the same argument. It's
Speaker 2: the same argument.
Speaker 1: It's effectively going to be a class action suit or
Speaker 1: you have do that.
Speaker 7: Though, Bill, I mean, how do you say that sixteen
Speaker 7: hundred individuals are.
Speaker 4: Because it's all guilty or all not guilty.
Speaker 1: Because you're arguing it's a question of damages and it's
Speaker 1: a consolidation.
Speaker 2: Otherwise it is. And that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1: And if someone if it hasn't happened, then no one
Speaker 1: shows if someone is innocent, there are no damages.
Speaker 4: If one of the sixteen hundred is yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean that's because everybody has to show damages.
Speaker 1: There will be if it was a class action, there
Speaker 1: will be a series of awards all the way from
Speaker 1: really egregious actions. It just speeds up the court. It
Speaker 1: stops sixteen hundred individual lawsuits. And most cases they won't
Speaker 1: go to court. Most cases there won't be a lawyer
Speaker 1: and there will be no representation. And that's why the consolidation,
Speaker 1: and in this case, Uber is saying we're.
Speaker 2: Going to help you by you not having a lawyer.
Speaker 7: It's crazy Sonny and Butch not coming home early or
Speaker 7: maybe not, or maybe they're back to their original delayed return,
Speaker 7: not quite clear on.
Speaker 2: That, or maybe it will never come home.
Speaker 7: Oh no, they're coming home. They were planning on coming
Speaker 7: home at the end of March. So there was this
Speaker 7: big holea balloo to get them get up there and
Speaker 7: get them back, and so they tried to launch a
Speaker 7: SpaceX rocket up to the International Space Station yesterday. They
Speaker 7: had to scrub that. NASA said, it's not because of
Speaker 7: anything with the spacecraft.
Speaker 4: It's fine.
Speaker 7: It had to do with some hydraulics that control the
Speaker 7: clamps that hold the rocket uplight. So they upright, So
Speaker 7: they scrubbed the launch that was supposed to happen yesterday.
Speaker 7: Now it could happen on Friday. And then when they
Speaker 7: come home, they'll be coming home with our buddy Nick Haig,
Speaker 7: then Space Force guardian and NASA astronaut that that has
Speaker 7: has become a friend of the radio station.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually a friend of yours. You talk to them
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I tried to get another interview with him
Speaker 7: before they came home, but they said, no, he doesn't
Speaker 7: have time. And it's because of stuff like this that
Speaker 7: Colonel Haget told us. They plan for everything to go wrong,
Speaker 7: so they're ready for it, and they're just and they're
Speaker 7: always working on contingency.
Speaker 4: So now they're just adjusting again.
Speaker 5: But how can you for that small of a turnaround,
Speaker 5: how can you plan for them being up there for
Speaker 5: months and months and months.
Speaker 7: Well, there's there's enough provisions up there, and they get
Speaker 7: shipments with supplieslies and all that stuff, and they've got
Speaker 7: so many experiments that they can do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do stuff. It's it's legit. I mean it's
Speaker 1: they make the most out of it. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: not like it's wasted time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And when Colonel Hagu went up, he was supposed to
Speaker 7: go up with four people, but they changed the mission
Speaker 7: and they just went up with two so that it
Speaker 7: wouldn't be too crowded when they were up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And there's a long wait to come back.
Speaker 1: I mean it's if it's not planned for astronauts to
Speaker 1: come back at a certain time and they don't make it,
Speaker 1: then the wait is very long.
Speaker 2: It's like the southern border. It's very, very difficult to
Speaker 2: get in.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's an analogy for you. Let's move on.
Speaker 5: Sure, more regulations and rollbacks and everything else going on
Speaker 5: right now. The FCC is planning a new effort to
Speaker 5: roll back regulations on the tech. I can hear you
Speaker 5: by the way, hand a hand all.
Speaker 4: He took his headphones up. You can hear you.
Speaker 5: Handle We can hear you folk it there you go. Well,
Speaker 5: your mic is still on. How did how did Lindsey sleep?
Speaker 5: For Christ's sake?
Speaker 1: If I didn't ask, I just I just mentioned that
Speaker 1: the I was able to reboot the internet, and I
Speaker 1: was proud of the fast Okay, I'm just she walked
Speaker 1: in the door, and I'm just saying I'm proud of myself.
Speaker 2: I've never been able to do that. I become a techno, maving.
Speaker 3: Very focused regulation on tech.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're doing news, aren't weans? Yeah? Okay, thanks?
Speaker 2: Moving on.
Speaker 3: A bunch of craft going on in Washington.
Speaker 2: That's it, FCC. Did you mention that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, under the new FCC.
Speaker 3: Rules, this show off the air.
Speaker 1: I know, well, under deregulation, I can do this and
Speaker 1: not get nailed for it.
Speaker 3: You'll be able to do anything.
Speaker 5: They basically want the public's comments on every rule, regulation,
Speaker 5: or guidance document that the FCC should eliminate for the
Speaker 5: purposes of alleviating unnecessarily you know, the regulation burdens is
Speaker 5: what they're looking at in all of these things across
Speaker 5: the fort.
Speaker 4: So does that mean we're gonna be able to say
Speaker 4: the seven words?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, no, no, no necessarily seven words.
Speaker 1: But this show will be able to be uh scatological, depraved, racist?
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, aren't we that already?
Speaker 1: We Yeah, it's the Royal Wei's if we are, it's
Speaker 1: the Royal wi.
Speaker 2: It's when the king goes we are not amused.
Speaker 7: I see, okay, Uh, officials are not amused about this guy.
Speaker 4: What you wanted this for? Who knows?
Speaker 7: But federal investigators with a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Speaker 7: offering a reward up to twenty thousand dollars to get
Speaker 7: information that to find the guy who cut off the
Speaker 7: head of a sea lion on Christmas Day. It happened
Speaker 7: at Doran Regional Park north of San Francisco. A park
Speaker 7: staff member apparently had spotted a sea lion. It was
Speaker 7: already dead and washed ashore, which happens sometimes. So then
Speaker 7: somebody saw a guy use a black eight inch knife
Speaker 7: to remove the sea lion's head. He put it in
Speaker 7: a clear plastic bag and rode away on a bicycle.
Speaker 2: M that's kind of bizarre.
Speaker 4: It's illegal too.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I think the story here is that federal investigators with
Speaker 1: noah will not have a job next week, so no
Speaker 1: one has to worry about it. You can cut the
Speaker 1: heads off all the dead sea lions you want. No harm,
Speaker 1: no foul, Oh, no harm, because is already dead and
Speaker 1: it's not a bird that works.
Speaker 2: No harm, no foul.
Speaker 3: All that is holy.
Speaker 2: Okay, why don't we move on let's not move on.
Speaker 1: Why don't we stop right there for this segment and
Speaker 1: then we're going to come back and I'll try to
Speaker 1: think of something even more clever because it hasn't worked
Speaker 1: out too well.
Speaker 2: This morning.
Speaker 5: I made a desert desert diorama with my eight year
Speaker 5: old boy yesterday. That was much easier than dealing with you.
Speaker 2: Well, it is time, you know, it is time to
Speaker 2: move on.
Speaker 5: President Donald Trump has retaliation on his mind, apparently against
Speaker 5: a prominent Democratic link law firm, and a judge ruled
Speaker 5: yesterday that it is slightly unconstitutional. So the US District
Speaker 5: Judge Beryl Howell blocked the Trump administration from enforcing central
Speaker 5: provisions of an executive order that seek to punish the
Speaker 5: law firm.
Speaker 3: Is it Perkins COI? Yeah, I e.
Speaker 5: By barring its attorneys from federal agencies or even entering
Speaker 5: federal buildings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not wild.
Speaker 1: So not only can you not deal with any federal agency,
Speaker 1: right a plaintiff, for example, suing the Department of Transportation. Nope,
Speaker 1: not gonna let you do it. And you can't even
Speaker 1: walk in the federal building. Yeah, it's a little bit tough. Now,
Speaker 1: that's just short of going to the state bar saying,
Speaker 1: and the federal government wants you to disbar these attorneys
Speaker 1: because they have sued the Trump administration. But I mean, remember, yeah,
Speaker 1: retaliation is coming big time, coming up across the board retribution.
Speaker 7: Orange County amy protections for kids of yet to be
Speaker 7: deported parents.
Speaker 4: They're preparing for it.
Speaker 7: Orange County supervisors have approved a resolution to get ready for.
Speaker 4: A possible surge and children.
Speaker 7: Left without guardians because of immigration enforcement. The supervisor, let's see,
Speaker 7: Supervisor Vincente Sarmiento, said the reason for the resolution was
Speaker 7: because they were getting inquiries from school officials about what
Speaker 7: was being done to plan for a potential increase in
Speaker 7: the number of kids who are left without their parents
Speaker 7: if the parents get deported.
Speaker 1: And he's yeah, the one, the one supervisor voted against
Speaker 1: the resolution, asked how many kids were actually separated, how
Speaker 1: many kids were abandoned.
Speaker 2: And in the past ten years due to deportation?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: None, Okay, Well, it's one of those things where the
Speaker 1: court asks And I went through that in the appeals
Speaker 1: court on a sperm sperm donation law that I was
Speaker 1: fighting constitutionally, and the court asked me. The appeals court
Speaker 1: said how many people were actually precluded as a result
Speaker 1: of this law that you're arguing is unconstitutional. Well none, Okay,
Speaker 1: why don't you come back when someone actually has been affected?
Speaker 1: And that's what this situation is. Makes sense, But this
Speaker 1: is a resolution, not a court case. So resolution passed,
Speaker 1: all right, the eternal eternal? Hey, pretty much.
Speaker 5: The Internal Revenue Service ordered most of it's approximately twenty
Speaker 5: thousand customer service employees back to the office this week.
Speaker 5: You know, they've been doing the hybrid and the remote
Speaker 5: work and all that stuff for a long time. There's
Speaker 5: just one problem. The IRS didn't have enough desks to
Speaker 5: seat them all. So they kind of went and said,
Speaker 5: never mind, we'll postpone this until further notice. So it
Speaker 5: basically came back and either they've hired more in that time,
Speaker 5: or they got rid of some of the desk space.
Speaker 3: Whatever it was, there was no place to sit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one where I don't understand the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Under Biden, the number of IRS agents and employees grew
Speaker 1: from eighty thousand to twenty twenty one to one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand today. And Trump is cutting, cutting, cutting, and wants
Speaker 1: to reduce the IRS as well as all the other
Speaker 1: governmental agencies. This is the agency that collects money for
Speaker 1: the government. And considering that the Republicans want to cut expenses,
Speaker 1: there's two ways.
Speaker 2: Of doing it.
Speaker 1: Either you get more money in revenue goes up, or
Speaker 1: you make it less expensive to operate. Well, this one
Speaker 1: is it's going to create more revenue. And they're saying, no,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the IRS. So I truly don't understand
Speaker 1: this one. This is not a political issue. I just
Speaker 1: don't get this one.
Speaker 5: He doesn't need the IRS. He's got Musk Musky's.
Speaker 1: But that's cutting But I get it, But that's cutting expenses.
Speaker 1: Musk is not about generating more revenue. It is about
Speaker 1: cutting expenses. Okay, that's doge. But the IRS brings money in.
Speaker 1: It's like any business if you will, and that is
Speaker 1: you can have more money one of two waights. You
Speaker 1: cut expenses or you get more money, or a combination
Speaker 1: of the two.
Speaker 2: So I just don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get why the IRS isn't given as literally
Speaker 1: as much power and as many agents, as much resources
Speaker 1: that it needs to collect money.
Speaker 2: You know, the scoff laws.
Speaker 1: They figure hundreds of billions of dollars is left on
Speaker 1: the table.
Speaker 2: All right, I just that part. I just don't understand
Speaker 2: and we're done.
Speaker 4: Oh, we don't get to do the hardest steel guy.
Speaker 2: Let's do the hardest steel guy.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: So, an Australian man lived for one hundred days with
Speaker 7: an artificial titanium heart while he waited for a donor transplant.
Speaker 7: This is the longest period of time that someone has
Speaker 7: lived with this technology. He became the first person ever
Speaker 7: to leave a hospital with a titanium heart, and that
Speaker 7: it kept him alive until he got his heart last month.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, let me okay, let me go back into the
Speaker 1: history the first heart. The first patient to have an
Speaker 1: artificial heart was a guy named Barney Clark and that
Speaker 1: was nineteen eighty two. He lasted over a hundred He
Speaker 1: lasted longer than that and then he ended up dying.
Speaker 2: So you know, the technology is better.
Speaker 1: But the one hundred and twelve days, the trigg is
Speaker 1: how much longer would it have lasted waiting for a heart.
Speaker 1: And they didn't say, well, you know, we have a
Speaker 1: heart for you, but let's figure out how long you
Speaker 1: can last before you die on this one.
Speaker 2: So we don't know.
Speaker 1: And you're right about the technology it's a titanium which
Speaker 1: hadn't been used before.
Speaker 2: But it was oh, it was one hundred and twelve days.
Speaker 2: I think that Barney Clark lasted with the first artificial
Speaker 2: heart before popping off.
Speaker 3: And that was like a plastic or composite of something that.
Speaker 1: It was the Jarvik, something hard. I don't have paper mache,
Speaker 1: and just a bunch of stuff. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was made out of.
Speaker 4: That would have been.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't have lasted that long, but you could
Speaker 1: do all kinds of fun shapes with it in different colors.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're done, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever.
Speaker 1: So anyway, and this is kind of an interesting heart
Speaker 1: because there are really no valves or there's only one.
