Speaker 3: now they're choosing the twenty thirty eight Olympics or the
Speaker 3: twenty fifty four Olympics.
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but it's gonna be hard to.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be hard to es surpass Paris because that

Speaker 3: and the Parisians of the Paris Olympics brilliant in how
Speaker 3: they incorporated the city itself.
Speaker 2: Into the Olympics.

Speaker 3: bet you okay, Cono, do you have a television?
Speaker 2: By the way, can you can you not afford one?

Speaker 3: Neil, yes or no?
Speaker 1: On the watching uh no, I was outside almost one
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 3: Interesting hat you could just it was only a couple
Speaker 3: of hours.
Speaker 2: It was only a couple of hours.
Speaker 3: And I'm going to do a review and I think
Speaker 3: you should join me on this because at frankly, as
Speaker 3: wonderful as the opening ceremonies were, which I thought they
Speaker 3: were spectacular, again utilizing Paris as the stage, uh, the
Speaker 3: closing ceremonies were pretty lame. I thought they were not
Speaker 3: very impressive. They really weren't.
Speaker 4: Parts of them were impressive and not really but.
Speaker 3: The circuslay people jumping around for half an hour, I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, give me a break, you know. And then
Speaker 3: the singers, I mean, I just didn't get the Red
Speaker 3: Hot Chili Peppers. I understand their LA base, but.
Speaker 2: I know, come on, it's just.
Speaker 3: Along the beach had Doctor Dre and Snoop and you
Speaker 3: couldn't hear them. The only thing was worthwhile the last singer,
Speaker 3: I don't know who that woman.
Speaker 2: Was, Billy Eilish no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Billy Eilish. She was she was
Speaker 3: really good. But I'm talking about the last singer I
Speaker 3: turned it off, that African American woman who was there.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming she was American.
Speaker 4: Oh the guitar with the guitar, No, no, that.
Speaker 3: Was another one, the very well. I turned it off
Speaker 3: with this last singer. She had this green dress on
Speaker 3: that if I had hired the designer, I would have
Speaker 3: fired that designer instantly. And she had this belt on
Speaker 3: that I swear I saw around a piece of luggage
Speaker 3: last time. I was at to lax and.
Speaker 1: Why who nobody knows who it was? Why why did
Speaker 1: you turn it off her?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, her was great. She sang the Star
Speaker 3: Spangled bander. She was phenomenal. On my way, Yes, who
Speaker 3: the hell was.
Speaker 4: That French singer songwriter? I don't know how to say
Speaker 4: you so.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I just did you didn't like her?
Speaker 4: I thought she was great.
Speaker 3: No, no, I didn't like her. It was just that. No, no,
Speaker 3: I just didn't. And then it was well, anyway way
Speaker 3: a Frank Sinatra tune?
Speaker 2: Okay, why not?
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was originally a French tune is
Speaker 3: that what they said that then was a change. The
Speaker 3: lyrics were changed to my way. I don't know. And
Speaker 3: then there are a couple of pop bands that all
Speaker 3: sang in English. You could have sworn they were American.
Speaker 3: It was the only thing that was really neat and
Speaker 3: this is absolutely worth it. The one thing that I
Speaker 3: thought was stunning, I mean stunning in the closing in
Speaker 3: the closing ceremony was the piano that was lifted up
Speaker 3: and the piano player was playing the piano with the
Speaker 3: pedals and everything, and he was sitting well, sitting on
Speaker 3: his back as the piano was going straight up. It
Speaker 3: was just the neatest thing you said, that is that
Speaker 3: was a neat the rest and.
Speaker 2: Then the tom Cruise thing, Come on, guys, really you
Speaker 2: know what? No, what a page out of mission predictable.
Speaker 4: And it said so it was still fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will tell you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's jumped the shark almost literally at this point,
Speaker 1: like I feel like, there's no stunt. You know, you
Speaker 1: want to impress me with a stunt, just go out
Speaker 1: of public view for the rest of your life.
Speaker 2: That was him jumping out of the airplane too, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean Scott.
Speaker 5: Lets talk about whether he would actually do the stunts,
Speaker 5: but you know how he loves to do his own stunts,
Speaker 5: so I think with the camera angles and stuff, you
Speaker 5: knew it was him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, LA's going to bring it for our opening ceremony.
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, come, come for the game, stay for the
Speaker 1: Feces in the street.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said Negative Nell.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Norman and Rod Stewart. You know, he was
Speaker 3: a front man for the band Feces, Rod Stewart and Feces.
Speaker 1: No one that was.
Speaker 2: Faces, I know, I see yea. That goes back way
Speaker 2: too far.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's why don't we do it? Handle on the
Speaker 2: news with Amy and Neil and me lead. Sorry sorry.
Speaker 3: Part of the closing ceremonies last night was the head
Speaker 3: of the Paris Link, the head of the Mayor of Paris,
Speaker 3: handing the Olympic flag over to Karen Bass. And the
Speaker 3: only thing I was thinking is, I'll bet you she
Speaker 3: flew first class from la to Paris.
Speaker 2: That was it. That's all I thought.
Speaker 1: You're weird, I know it was.
Speaker 3: That's a good gig. By the way, I'll bet you
Speaker 3: she didn't have to. She had a good hotel room,
Speaker 3: and I'll bet you she had a lot of food
Speaker 3: that was paid for by the Olympic Committee.
Speaker 5: Just guessing you'll love this then, Bill, because I know
Speaker 5: how you love. First there was all these news stories.
Speaker 5: Oh and it was the first time a woman mayor
Speaker 5: passed the flag to a woman mayor.
Speaker 3: You know how big a deal you're going to make
Speaker 3: when someone on that stature has a club foot and
Speaker 3: that becomes yeah, our first club footed mayor now is yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean, I just sure, why not? You know, absolutely?
Speaker 3: Why not? All right, Well, let's just get we have
Speaker 3: more I went to instantly in seven o'clock. We're going
Speaker 3: to talk more about this and then a little bit
Speaker 3: more about the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Then it's going to go away very quickly.
Speaker 5: Well, we're number one. We're number one, yep, number one
Speaker 5: in the metal count. Total of one hundred and twenty
Speaker 5: six medals earned in the twenty twenty four Summer Games,
Speaker 5: including forty gold. Seems like a lot, but it's not
Speaker 5: number one. It's tied for number one with China. They
Speaker 5: also got forty, but they only got ninety one medals.
Speaker 3: So it's breaking down to which countries own the events,
Speaker 3: track and field owned by the United States, diving owned
Speaker 3: by the Chinese.
Speaker 2: We're amazing stroll there.
Speaker 3: It's even the commentators was saying, they're the Chinese driver divers.
Speaker 3: And then everybody else in the field vice for silver
Speaker 3: or bronze or fourth in place? Who is? Oh? The
Speaker 3: long distance runners they're all Ethiopians and Kenyons. That mean
Speaker 3: they are. I mean, I don't even know why people
Speaker 3: who aren't you would think that be you almost never
Speaker 3: won a gold medal in any kind of distance running.
Speaker 3: Or the Inuits, you know Eskimos, they just don't do
Speaker 3: that well in long distance running.
Speaker 2: Okay, what else? Track and field?
Speaker 3: China? And then the hero of the Olympics, Leon marchand
Speaker 3: swimmer for gold.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, he became the face of the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Tell you the Olympic cauldron that was on that balloon
Speaker 3: that was lit and then flew back and forth across Paris,
Speaker 3: that was neat By the way, do you know why
Speaker 3: it was a balloon?
Speaker 2: Why they did that? A little bit of history here.
Speaker 3: Why Because the first hotter than a balloon that carried
Speaker 3: that carried people was in Paris in the late seventeen hundreds.
Speaker 3: The Mongolfier brothers, and so the balloon was incorporated. And
Speaker 3: by the way, the first passenger was a rooster. There
Speaker 3: you go, there's an important information.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what information of my memory I had to
Speaker 1: push out to cram that little bit in there. I
Speaker 1: thought it was some North Korea and South Korean situation.
Speaker 1: It was filled with feces. French police evacuated the area
Speaker 1: around the Eiffel Tower after some guy with no shirt
Speaker 1: on was seen climbing the landmark hours before the Olympics
Speaker 1: closing ceremony yesterday. So they had to evacuate. And this
Speaker 1: was some time around I don't know, two forty five
Speaker 1: or something, and by three pm they started evacuating everyone.
Speaker 1: They don't know why he did it, and they don't
Speaker 1: even know how he got up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh well he climbed up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, of course, but they you know, nobody
Speaker 1: sought happening. You think with all the security they you.
Speaker 2: Would think, and there's fences around there and just everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's a little bit of a history, a little
Speaker 3: a couple of unknown facts about the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: First of all, what was Eiffel's real first name?
Speaker 3: What do you think it was. Uh No, no, I'm
Speaker 3: not talking about the tower. I'm talking about the guy
Speaker 3: who built the tower just right. Eiffel. What was his name,
Speaker 3: What was his first name? We think it was Gustav. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's what the history tells us. But it was really
Speaker 3: Billy Bob Eiffel. Very few people know that.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's movie on France.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very much. Great story by the way about
Speaker 3: the Eiffel Tower. If you ever read I mean, guy,
Speaker 3: it was just tremendous. It was originally supposed to only
Speaker 3: be up for twenty years. Huge, I mean, there was
Speaker 3: a lot of controversy about building. It was for the
Speaker 3: eighteen ninety nine World's Fair or the celebration of the
Speaker 3: centennial of France. And I'll tell you where I eife
Speaker 3: Full died a very wealthy man because he cut a
Speaker 3: deal with the city of Paris that after twenty years
Speaker 3: they changed the rules that he got the uh he
Speaker 3: was able to get the money for entrance for the
Speaker 3: the people that paid money to go up the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: He got it.
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of money the Eiffel Tower. By
Speaker 3: the way, when you go to Paris, A quick word
Speaker 3: about the Eiffel Tower. I never go to the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 3: I think it's a waste of time. You want to
Speaker 3: know why you can't see the Eiffel Tower from the
Speaker 3: Eiffel Tower, And what's the view of Paris? What's the
Speaker 3: why would you get a view of Paris without the
Speaker 3: Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: Also costs like.
Speaker 3: Forty bucks to go up there, and it's a waste
Speaker 3: of time.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: Team Essay has flipped over being stripped. The International Olympic
Speaker 5: Committee has decided to take back the bronze medal that
Speaker 5: was awarded to American gymnast Jordan Chiles for her performance
Speaker 5: on the floor routine, and instead we'll give it to
Speaker 5: the Romanian Anna Barbosu. So here's what happened. The Court
Speaker 5: of Arbitration ruled on Saturday that an inquiry made by
Speaker 5: Team USA about her score came in too late. It's
Speaker 5: supposed to be done within sixty seconds of the score
Speaker 5: being posted, and the IOC is saying that it came
Speaker 5: in sixty four seconds afterward, CROC. So they're saying Jordan
Speaker 5: Childs has to return the bronze. Team USA is appealing, obviously,
Speaker 5: and they say they have some proof that it.
Speaker 3: Can They said, they have the timestamp and they're presenting it. Now,
Speaker 3: what happens if she says, no, I'm not returning it.
Speaker 3: I'm keeping the damn thing. What do you do? Do
Speaker 3: the gendarmes come out there. Do they serve a warrant
Speaker 3: and pick it up, arrest her for not returning the
Speaker 3: bronze medal? Mm?
Speaker 1: Well, could they punish her not allower to be a
Speaker 1: part of any other Olympic event?
Speaker 3: Or maybe the IOC can not she could certainly the IOC,
Speaker 3: I think, only has jurisdiction over the Olympics itself. The
Speaker 3: rest of its American gymnastics controls its own gymnastics. I
Speaker 3: think the countries control their own. Do you know who
Speaker 3: else a little bit of history here? You know who
Speaker 3: else got medals yanked? Very famous case and then reinstated
Speaker 3: decades and decades later. Jim Thorpe nineteen twelve. Really yeah
Speaker 3: in Sweden?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, he was the case.
Speaker 3: He was the he was he won all the gold medals.
Speaker 3: I don't remember whatever, but the entire team was him.
Speaker 3: Where he did all the track and field, the running
Speaker 3: in the discus and the marathon and all that, or
Speaker 3: the decathlon and because in those days it was truly
Speaker 3: amateur sports. They found out that in college he had
Speaker 3: played one summer of semi pro ball for just a
Speaker 3: little bit. He got minor money, just a little tiny
Speaker 3: bit of money. So they yanked the medals. They took
Speaker 3: them away, and if you look at the record books,
Speaker 3: well now it's reinstated, but the number two people came
Speaker 3: in with gold. Don't know if you actually returned the
Speaker 3: medals or not, but they do have a history of
Speaker 3: doing that.
Speaker 2: They'll yank medals.
Speaker 1: Do you know that the gold medal is not gold?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. If the gold medal were gold, that
Speaker 3: would be and there's over a thousand medals that were
Speaker 3: handed out. Can you imagine how much gold there would be.
Speaker 1: Is actually silver coated with gold?
Speaker 4: Five is it five milligrams or six milligrams of gold?
Speaker 4: So it's only worth about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gold plating is what it is. You know, they
Speaker 2: just dip it into gold.
Speaker 4: Yeah it still looks good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks great. Also. The other thing that's really
Speaker 3: neat about you know, every country designed it's own metal.
Speaker 3: What's really neat about this one? You see that metal
Speaker 3: in the middle of it, that's part of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 3: That's metal from the Eiffel Tower. Yeah, that's great. That
Speaker 3: is seriously cool because when they have to, they took
Speaker 3: down parts of the Eiffel Tower because the metal itself was.
Speaker 2: It was rotting away, you know, we had been oxidized and.
Speaker 3: It had to be replaced. They took all of that
Speaker 3: metal and kept it and part of the the.
Speaker 2: Medals are made about.
Speaker 3: It's great. It's great stuff, it really is. This Olympics
Speaker 3: was really interesting, interesting except for the lady singing at
Speaker 3: the very last part of come on, she was good.
Speaker 1: I think they should have taken the metal from like
Speaker 1: load bearing parts of the Eiffel Tower. Now, yeah, that
Speaker 1: make it more interesting, that would make it powers could
Speaker 1: go down.
Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is a horrible story. But it's near your hometown.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: It is the bodies of all sixty two victims that
Speaker 1: stunning plane crash in Brazil. Did you see video of that?
Speaker 3: Yes, they have it going down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just crazy. The aircraft just plummeted to the
Speaker 1: ground residential neighborhood. All the bodies have been recovered, so
Speaker 1: the investigators finished their search for the victims. That crash
Speaker 1: site of course outside of Bill's hometown of some hollow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you could see it wasn't in the case
Speaker 3: when we'd plummeting. It was an auguring in it was
Speaker 3: actually spinning as it was going down, s spinning slow
Speaker 3: kind of installed. It installed. That's what a plane looks
Speaker 3: like when it's stalled. It's no longer obviously airworthy, it's
Speaker 3: not flying at all.
Speaker 2: It's just going down. And it's just it was horrible.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being on that plane the last few seconds,
Speaker 3: I mean, you just that's.
Speaker 1: Not you're dropping at that rate? Would you just pass out?
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: Hope.
Speaker 5: The US is sending more firepower to the Middle East.
Speaker 5: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine
Speaker 5: to the Middle East and is also working to speed
Speaker 5: up the arrival of a carrier strike group to the region.
Speaker 5: And this is all because Iran is threatening to attack Israel.
Speaker 5: The movement of the US submarine is rarely revealed publicly
Speaker 5: because this is a nuclear power submarine. They usually operate
Speaker 5: in your complete secrecy, but apparently they need to save
Speaker 5: ran all this saber.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering what is going on with this? I
Speaker 3: mean so Iran attacks is reel directly. Okay, fine, I
Speaker 3: mean that's sort of a given based on what's happening
Speaker 3: right now. Now, what does the US do? Does it
Speaker 3: send up fighters and attack Iranian fighters? Does it lob
Speaker 3: a few cruise missiles into Iran?
Speaker 4: Maybe this is a deterrent.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a show of force, is what it is.
Speaker 3: But how much of a deterrent is it when everybody
Speaker 3: knows it's not going to be used?
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong on this.
Speaker 3: Maybe the US will attack Iranian forces, but they're already
Speaker 3: doing everything they can with the Patriot missiles and the
Speaker 3: Iron Dome and sending the anti missile missile systems into
Speaker 3: Israel which are already there.
Speaker 2: So I'm just curious about that next few days.
Speaker 3: It's well, it's a tinder box over there, and it's
Speaker 3: not fine, all.
Speaker 1: Right, hundreds of firefighters backed by more than thirty water
Speaker 1: dropping planes or battling a major forest fire that's going
Speaker 1: nuts there, completely out of control, the northern fringes of Athens.
Speaker 1: You've got this fan by strong winds and started Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoon and just kind of reacing through the pine forests there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the wildfires are just out of.
Speaker 2: Control all of the world. Yeah, yeah, it's just horrible.
Speaker 2: Remember smoking the Bear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he died around cancer. He's no longer available
Speaker 3: to us, but he's still.
Speaker 1: All right. He's fine. O was McGruff and officer McGruff
Speaker 1: and everybody's fine.
Speaker 5: Oh mcgraff. What was he for? He was the take
Speaker 5: the ruff out of crime or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 5: Ukraine's president has confirmed what appears to be a suicide mission,
Speaker 5: but volodimyir Zelenski has confirmed that his troops have started
Speaker 5: fighting inside Russia. They've gone into the Curse region of
Speaker 5: fifteen miles in and yesterday he made his first formal
Speaker 5: recognition that the troops had crossed into Russia and thanked
Speaker 5: every unit of Ukraine's armed forces for making it possible
Speaker 5: to push the war out into the aggressor's territory.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Both sides are running out of people to fight. That's
Speaker 2: the problem, you know.
Speaker 3: Russia of course has this insane overwhelming number of people
Speaker 3: there and troops, but it's it's tough right there or
Speaker 3: there there. There's a conscription over there. It's the only
Speaker 3: way they can get people in there, and they're so
Speaker 3: they're drafting everybody they can is cannon fodder for them.
Speaker 3: Ukrainians are at their natior in terms of troops that
Speaker 3: they can train, and it's just it's going to go on.
Speaker 2: Probably for years. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: How does that change the trajectory of generations when men,
Speaker 1: mostly men in that young age range just die off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: It changes, It's exactly. It changes the direct the generational trajectory.
Speaker 3: After World War One, for example, you had the number
Speaker 3: of women that were out there looking for men in England,
Speaker 3: for example, it was a fraction. I mean, it affects everybody,
Speaker 3: especially when you're talking about huge numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it affects everybody.
Speaker 1: So the Trump campaign says it's been hacked, probably in
Speaker 1: the most hugeist hacked. That's most bigly never no one's
Speaker 1: ever been hacked in this way ever before. It was huge.
Speaker 1: But Political reported earlier Saturday that it had received emails
Speaker 1: from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump's campaign operation.
Speaker 1: These documents were obtained illegally, says the Trump campaign, from
Speaker 1: foreign sources hostile to the United States intended to interfere
Speaker 1: with a twenty twenty four election and so chaos throughout
Speaker 1: our democratic process.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it has yet.
Speaker 3: I think everybody is so cognizant that I haven't heard
Speaker 3: any stories of true interference.
Speaker 2: Amy has there been reporting out there where interference.
Speaker 3: Has in fact been located and they have to fight
Speaker 3: it or is it just sort of a story here
Speaker 3: or there.
Speaker 5: Well, this is the big one so far, because Iran
Speaker 5: has threatened to hack, and now they're saying that they
Speaker 5: probably did. It was a spear phishing attack. That's where
Speaker 5: you go and you click on something in an email.
Speaker 5: That's apparently how they got in. But the documents that
Speaker 5: they had. We were talking to Stephen Portenoite with ABC
Speaker 5: earlier today and the documents were about JD. Vans and
Speaker 5: some of the stuff that he had said about Trump
Speaker 5: eight years ago.
Speaker 4: So erb it already knows it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3: What influence are we talking about these kinds of hacks
Speaker 3: even if it happened on either side yet? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Fin whale has beached itself in Torrents. I hate these stories.
Speaker 4: Fin whale washed ashore inside.
Speaker 5: It was found inside the surf line near Torrents Beach
Speaker 5: over the weekend. The animal died before rescuers arrived there,
Speaker 5: saying that it had several broken bones. They don't know
Speaker 5: what it you know what killed it? They're doing on
Speaker 5: en augh cropsy and in the meantime they have taken
Speaker 5: the whale and pulled it back out to sea.
Speaker 2: And let it rot out there.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, that's what they do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get eaten.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a circle of life. Man. You'd like those
Speaker 1: poor fritatas swimming in the wild that are caught and
Speaker 1: then become your breakfast base.
Speaker 3: Which I've not put in yet. I have not yet
Speaker 3: new restaurant. I got a really nice chicken club grilled
Speaker 3: thing I'm gonna cook up again today.
Speaker 1: Actually only take him from its parents. Yes, just so
Speaker 1: you could have it.
Speaker 2: I understand completely. Yeah.

Speaker 1: up in the ante and it's coming along with an
Speaker 1: Avatar inspired section coming to Disney California Adventure as well.
Speaker 1: So it's the big, huge d twenty three Disney fan
Speaker 1: convention that was in Anaheim this past weekend gave us
Speaker 1: a lot of insight to what's coming down. So we're
Speaker 1: excited about it.
Speaker 2: And they spend big money. That's they do for all
Speaker 2: these new lands and rides.
Speaker 3: By the way, Disney's reported lower than anticipated operating income
Speaker 3: for the Parks Decision Division.
Speaker 2: Well, there's an easy answer to that one.
Speaker 3: Just raise ticket prices by one hundred dollars per day
Speaker 3: per person and that'll be fine.
Speaker 2: And by the way, they'll sell even quicker than they do.
Speaker 3: Now, this is the Disney rule. You need more people
Speaker 3: in the park. Raise your prices.
Speaker 1: This is coming from a man who can't scramble eggs
Speaker 1: and put spinach in them, so buys frozen fritadas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just make it because it's just easier convenience.
Speaker 1: Come on, okay, so you pay for you pay outrageous prices.
Speaker 3: No, I don't say.
Speaker 2: Costco for God's sake, Come.
Speaker 5: On, a one hundred and ninety million year old monument
Speaker 5: is no more so the Double Arch, which is in
Speaker 5: Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah so beautiful there
Speaker 5: it collapsed. It was known as toilet Bowl, Crescent Pool,
Speaker 5: and Hole in the roof, but apparently one hundred and
Speaker 5: ninety million years was enough.
Speaker 2: And those are neat national monuments.
Speaker 3: They are wind swept and made out of well, I
Speaker 3: mean they're made what are they made out of?
Speaker 2: Limestone or not vanstone?
Speaker 4: I think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just almost nothing. So that's kind of
Speaker 3: that's kind of terrible.
Speaker 1: Speaking of terrible, the state Insurance Commissioner took action just
Speaker 1: this past Friday to speed up reviews of rate hikes
Speaker 1: home insurers and are obviously upset, and there's efforts to
Speaker 1: address the issue through fast track legislation because it's getting
Speaker 1: bogged down and it's like, I don't know, what, is
Speaker 1: it a couple of months, a couple three months or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: It can take longer than that, could take months mon.
Speaker 1: So oh, up to seven months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is for the insurance commission to okay.
Speaker 3: You know, utilities can't raise rates without the insurance commissioners. Okay.
Speaker 3: We're one of the few states where the insurance commissioner
Speaker 3: says yay or nay. It's like the PUC with utility rates,
Speaker 3: and so the process it takes so long, and then
Speaker 3: this bill says no, no, it's not going to take
Speaker 3: longer than sixty days where they're going to be told no.
Speaker 3: And then of course that company leaves California. Also, oh
Speaker 3: see on Celene Deon.
Speaker 5: Yes, Selene's heart does not go on for Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: So she said, quit using my song.
Speaker 5: Basically, he played it at one of his rallies, the
Speaker 5: one that happened in Montana on Friday, and you could
Speaker 5: hear my heart can go, could go?
Speaker 4: Or my heart will go on?
Speaker 5: And Selene's people said, in no way is this use authorized.
Speaker 5: Selene Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she was, I guess you could call her
Speaker 3: the headliner if you will, the opening ceremonies, Yes, on
Speaker 3: that platform in front of the Eiffel Tower. Also, did
Speaker 3: you see when she actually gave out the medals at
Speaker 3: the kayak ceremony? Do you remember that?
Speaker 1: Nice reference? But that goes way back.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that to the New Orleans and there was yeah,
Speaker 3: they can take the kayak kayak.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she got a lot of grit for that.
Speaker 3: But there she was handing out the gold medals for
Speaker 3: when the kayak races. Okay, what does she handed them out?
Speaker 3: Of course not it was in reference to her that
Speaker 3: ridiculous line she had when people couldn't get around New Orleans.
Speaker 3: I mean they were literally stuck. I think it was
Speaker 3: if you remember, it was at the New Orleans Dole
Speaker 3: and they couldn't get out all those hundreds of People's.
Speaker 4: That after Katrina.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was during Katrina and she said, let him
Speaker 3: take a kayak.
Speaker 1: She was pleading.
Speaker 3: I remember that, and if she got a lot agree

Speaker 3: cake with Marie Antoinette.
