Speaker 3: and it was The Weekend a group. What kind of
Speaker 3: music do they player? He's a singer?
Speaker 1: Yes? Oh?
Speaker 3: The Weekend is a singer, yes, yes, who doesn't play
Speaker 3: Monday through Friday.
Speaker 4: He did actually play last Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 3: And sold out, right, yeah, sixty to sixty people.
Speaker 4: He did the super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: He is awesome, all right, So much for that. What
Speaker 1: else did I do yesterday?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I did that event that Lawyer's Philharmonic.
Speaker 4: Great girl, how was that?
Speaker 1: It was wonderful? I enjoy it so much. There is
Speaker 1: a Mike maguire who is a singer.
Speaker 3: He is he's a practicing attorney and he has won
Speaker 3: a Tony Award and it was he's that good of
Speaker 3: a singer. He opened it limits and won a Tony Award.
Speaker 3: When it opened up, he was a lead, and so
Speaker 3: I introduced him and I said, you know, we went
Speaker 3: through all the attorneys in southern California who won Tony's,
Speaker 3: and the first three couldn't make it. The next two
Speaker 3: just didn't want to show up. So we finally got
Speaker 3: to Mike McGuire. His voice is un believable.
Speaker 1: He is so good all right.
Speaker 2: See don't you take your daughters for their birthday?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: How they take my daughters?
Speaker 3: They didn't now, actually because I told them that Taylor
Speaker 3: Swift was going to show up and I admitted that
Speaker 3: they weren't.
Speaker 1: Now they did great. They really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: It's a fun show. It's been a couple of times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a It is a fun show. Okay, let's
Speaker 3: do it, guys. We've got a lot going. Oh man,
Speaker 3: the Senate is voting. They have not yet voted. Have
Speaker 3: they done the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 4: No, they're going to start voting soon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see what well it's going to go, of course,
Speaker 3: because even even the Republicans who have a problem with
Speaker 3: it are going to fall in line. The only one
Speaker 3: that isn't well, Rama always votes to gin everything, against
Speaker 3: anything that spends money and tell us, tell us, I
Speaker 3: think of North Carolina. Oh said he's going to vote
Speaker 3: against it. And Trump said, real simple, I'm going to
Speaker 3: go after you. I'm going to primary you out. And
Speaker 3: he said, I quit.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get re elected. You can primary
Speaker 1: me out all you want. I'm not running for re election.
Speaker 3: So that seems to me the only way to if
Speaker 3: you're a Republican to go against Trump. So we'll see
Speaker 3: what happens today. I think he's going to get it.
Speaker 3: You know, there's no question.
Speaker 5: There's several there's several votes today they're voting on the
Speaker 5: amendments that they've passed. So it's of they're calling it
Speaker 5: a vote rama.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the end, he's going to get the majority
Speaker 3: of what he wants. There's just no question about it.
Speaker 3: It's just but you know, but presidents were able to
Speaker 3: do that, pull springs.
Speaker 1: You know what was able to pull that off was LBJ.
Speaker 1: LBJ twisted arms.
Speaker 3: That's how he got the Civil Rights Bill passed in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1: Now, he didn't threaten with.
Speaker 3: He didn't threaten with primarying out because he had been
Speaker 3: in Congress for so long. He basically threatened these senators
Speaker 3: was showing the public pictures of the goats that they
Speaker 3: were screwing and embarrassing the hell out of them. So
Speaker 3: different way of twisting arms. All right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 1: It's time for handle on the news. Amy and Neil
Speaker 1: and me lead story.
Speaker 3: And it is exactly that the Senate, it just narrowly,
Speaker 3: narrowly advanced the voting I think by a couple of votes,
Speaker 3: and that was lawmakers voted fifty one to forty nine
Speaker 3: to open debate nine d and forty page megabill, which
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, who has the right to do that, said,
Speaker 3: I want the clerk to read every single word of
Speaker 3: a nine hundred and forty page document.
Speaker 1: Took fifteen hours. Weren't people throw with that one?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But the question is did all the senators have to
Speaker 4: be there?
Speaker 1: I don't. Didn't show you know, you didn't.
Speaker 3: The video did not show how many were there because
Speaker 3: usually whenever you see the speakers in front of the house,
Speaker 3: you know, at the lectern, or a senator at the
Speaker 3: front doing his statement, his or her statement, there's nobody there.
Speaker 1: It's for the camera. There are three people in the audience.
Speaker 2: That is the equivalent of your show for five days.
Speaker 3: That's correct, where I'm speaking all week. That's right, I'm
Speaker 3: speaking to the five of you. Yeah, that's our audience.
Speaker 4: Moving on, still hammering.
Speaker 5: Russia has launched its largest aerial attack against Ukraine. Five
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty seven aerial weapons were launched at Ukraine.
Speaker 5: Four hundred and seventy seven drones and decoys and sixty missiles.
Speaker 5: Ukraine's Air Force says that of those two hundred and
Speaker 5: forty nine were shot down, two hundred twenty six were lost.
Speaker 5: Apparently they can electronically jam them so they don't go off.
Speaker 5: The onslaught was what it calls the most massive air
Speaker 5: strike on Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full scale
Speaker 5: invasion in February of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: It's not doing well now, Ukraine, and unfortunately for Ukraine,
Speaker 3: all of the.
Speaker 1: Attention has shifted over to Iran, and Ukraine's getting lost
Speaker 1: in the shuffle.
Speaker 3: And the president is not that close to Iran or
Speaker 3: a Zelenski, very close to Netanyahu and Israel.
Speaker 1: No surprise there, all right.
Speaker 2: Republican Senator Tom Tillis, as we were talking about earlier
Speaker 2: of North Carolina and now Sunday, you can't fire me.
Speaker 2: I quit sort of. He's not seeking reelection next year,
Speaker 2: and this comes a day after he was is one
Speaker 2: of the only what two Republicans who voted against advancing
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump's sweeping, big, beautiful, hugely bigly agenda bill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seven o'clock, I'm gonna go through some of the
Speaker 3: provisions of the bill, but you don't vote against Donald
Speaker 3: Trump if.
Speaker 1: You're a Republicans. That simple.
Speaker 3: If you do, first of all, you are a trader
Speaker 3: to the Constitution, which, by the way, I'm not kidding either.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is the cost Constitution and he will tell
Speaker 3: you that. And as soon as Tillis voted no because
Speaker 3: of provision to Medicaid and I'll explain more about that.
Speaker 3: At seven o'clock, President said, I'm gonna you want to
Speaker 3: be re elected, I'm going.
Speaker 1: To primary you out if you vote against me, and
Speaker 1: you did, You're going to pay.
Speaker 3: And at that point Tillis said, I'm not running again.
Speaker 3: Now the realistically, he had a tough fight last time around.
Speaker 3: He almost lost the last time, so it's going to
Speaker 3: be one of the toughest Senate races. That seat is
Speaker 3: one of the most vulnerable in the country. So he's
Speaker 3: out and Trump's threat isn't a threat anymore.
Speaker 1: Just isn't all right?
Speaker 4: Moving on, no fences required.
Speaker 5: Plans are moving forward for Florida to open their Alligator
Speaker 5: Alcatraz in the Everglades. The facility is going to have
Speaker 5: temporary structures, heavy duty tents, trailers to house detained immigrants.
Speaker 5: The state says that by early July, it'll have five
Speaker 5: thousand immigration detention beds in operation. And they're calling it
Speaker 5: Alligator Alcatraz because it is in the middle of the Everglades.
Speaker 5: Everglades do they say they don't even need fences or
Speaker 5: anything because you know, there's alligators in the swamps around it.
Speaker 3: DeSantis said, outright, if you try to escape, you will
Speaker 3: be eaten straight out.
Speaker 2: It would be great if we could use it for
Speaker 2: like rapists, murderers and things like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a little bit of controversy there, but
Speaker 3: isn't there always, and DeSantis being one of the most
Speaker 3: i would guess, the most vocal of the anti illegal
Speaker 3: immigration folks out there in terms of both governor and
Speaker 3: any elected official.
Speaker 2: The crazy ass story unfolding yesterday. Gunman ambushed and shot
Speaker 2: dead to firefighters. They were responding to a forest fire
Speaker 2: in northern Idaho and it you know, they believed that
Speaker 2: he actually the suspects started the fire and it was
Speaker 2: a total ambush. And then the cops come and they
Speaker 2: have exchanging gunfire. The guy is shooting with a long rifle,
Speaker 2: you know, sniper positioning, and they were under fire for
Speaker 2: quite some time. More than three hundred law enforcement officers
Speaker 2: from the city, county, state, federal levels responding to the scene.
Speaker 2: The guy, the suspect, was found dead right now. They
Speaker 2: don't know if it was through a police fire or
Speaker 2: if he took his own life.
Speaker 1: Either way, he's dead, but now killing two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and another one almost fighters.
Speaker 1: Fighting for his life.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: It's just it's a horrific story, it really.
Speaker 3: Is, and no one's it's so unusual that people are
Speaker 3: just shaking their heads. I mean, firefighters, it's you know,
Speaker 3: they don't carry weapons, they're not a threat, and yet
Speaker 3: here's what happens.
Speaker 4: I think we may soon see a lot of journalists
Speaker 4: in jail.
Speaker 5: President Trump says he's weighing his options and wants to
Speaker 5: force or may want afford journalists who published the leaked
Speaker 5: details of a US intelligence report that said that the
Speaker 5: strike against Iran wasn't as effective as he claimed. He
Speaker 5: said his administration may prosecute those reporters and sources if
Speaker 5: they don't comply, and then he also told Maria Bartiromo
Speaker 5: on Fox News yesterday that the Iranian.
Speaker 4: Facilities were successfully crippled.
Speaker 5: He says the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite
Speaker 5: Iranian assertions that the military had moved the actually the
Speaker 5: material had been moved before the strikes.
Speaker 1: Hey, Amy, let me ask you, you're a newsperson.
Speaker 3: How successful do you think that threat is going to
Speaker 3: work amongst newspeople or are they going to simply say
Speaker 3: uh uh, that's no sources.
Speaker 1: That they're going to just they'll take a chance.
Speaker 3: There was a story I know back in the seventies
Speaker 3: with a reporter for the Herald Examiner who.
Speaker 1: Was asked to release the source as to some criminal event,
Speaker 1: and he said no.
Speaker 3: He was indicted by the grand jury and he and
Speaker 3: the judge held him in contempt and he spent eighteen
Speaker 3: months in jail because he wouldn't really reveal a source.
Speaker 3: And the only reason he got out is because the
Speaker 3: grand juries there what are they looking for? The time
Speaker 3: they were in session? It was an eighteen month session
Speaker 3: of the grand jury. And when then that disappeared, When
Speaker 3: that went away, then that indictment, that contempt citation went away.
Speaker 1: Eighteen months he spent in prison.
Speaker 4: Well how much longer does Trump have an office?
Speaker 1: Three and a half years?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I'm willing to bet that too. Reporters,
Speaker 3: sources are so SACRISANCT. So SACRISANCT that they're willing to
Speaker 3: go to prison.
Speaker 2: But what was that one about.
Speaker 3: I owe some sources to some criminal event. I don't
Speaker 3: remember specifically.
Speaker 2: Because they just remember him going to put criminality to
Speaker 2: it or what this. Yeah, so what.
Speaker 3: He's going to basically, of course it's going to make
Speaker 3: a criminal. You don't tell the sources we're going to
Speaker 3: prosecute you to put you in prison.
Speaker 5: It's like it's they would say it's national security, exactly, It's.
Speaker 2: Not national security.
Speaker 1: They are really really so.
Speaker 3: You think national security? For example, I don't think that
Speaker 3: a demonstration in Los Angeles is a rebellion against the
Speaker 3: government of the United States.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was a that was a vote of no
Speaker 2: confidence for Captain Hairdo and Bass. So you guys don't
Speaker 2: take care of any any and we don't. We don't
Speaker 2: take a rebellion. It's not whether they did it or not.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, you and I can agree to disagree or
Speaker 1: repeat to or whatever.
Speaker 2: I just think that forcing a journalist is a massive thing,
Speaker 2: and it would be for something that was really, you know,
Speaker 2: put us in danger as a nation that doesn't Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agreed.
Speaker 3: Does the whole concept of forcing journalists to reveal their
Speaker 3: sources that is sacricinct to the press.
Speaker 2: Agree.
Speaker 1: In the States and.
Speaker 5: The way the press is a lot today. I mean
Speaker 5: they'll use that as you know where it does a
Speaker 5: badge of honor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4: Jim Acosta in jail for forty two months, he'd love it.
Speaker 1: You're right, you probably would, all right.
Speaker 2: Billionaire investor Warren Buffett dished out six a billion with
Speaker 2: a bee in Berkshire Hathaway shares to five charities just
Speaker 2: on Saturday. This is the biggest annual donation nearly twenty years.
Speaker 2: And you know it's a dip in the bucket or
Speaker 2: dropping the bucket rather of his one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: two billion estimating net worth. But you know he's he's
Speaker 2: pledged that he's going to donate his wealth.
Speaker 3: A couple things about Warren Buffett, very interesting guy. First
Speaker 3: of all, he is leaving all of his money to
Speaker 3: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And the reason is
Speaker 3: why would he set up another foundation and all of
Speaker 3: the bureaucracy and have employees when the Gates are already
Speaker 3: doing that job.
Speaker 1: So he says here, you just take it all.
Speaker 3: And we talked about ninety nine point what nine to
Speaker 3: five percent of his wealth. I interviewed his son Peter
Speaker 3: a few years ago and I said, your dad's one
Speaker 3: of the wealthiest men in the world, so you're probably
Speaker 3: going to get some money.
Speaker 1: He goes, are you kidding?
Speaker 3: If we get a million dollars each, the siblings, we
Speaker 3: will be thrilled. Wow, because from day one Warren buff said,
Speaker 3: you want a bicycle, you go out and buy a bicycle.
Speaker 1: You work for it. A very interesting guy, to say
Speaker 1: the least.
Speaker 2: Thanks for an interesting Christmas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and no, they get Christmas presents like any other
Speaker 3: moderately successful business person would give children.
Speaker 4: Their children are Buffet's children all very successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all do very well.
Speaker 4: No, that's because daddy's giving him everything.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: I mean they don't do, you know daddy well, but
Speaker 3: they all make a good living. I think Peter's a
Speaker 3: documentary filmmaker if I remember correctly, and he lives in
Speaker 3: the same house he's lived for forty years, fifty years.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a nice house.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a nice neighborhood and you know, maybe
Speaker 3: four or five thousand square feet but he doesn't live
Speaker 3: like a billionaire. He doesn't have five hundred million dollar yachts,
Speaker 3: that's for sure.
Speaker 5: Before the clock runs out again, there may be a
Speaker 5: buyer for TikTok. President Trump said yesterday we have a
Speaker 5: buyer for TikTok. By the way, I think I'll need
Speaker 5: probably China approval, and I think President she will probably
Speaker 5: do it. He made the announcement yesterday, wouldn't say who
Speaker 5: it was, but said he'll tell us in about two weeks.
Speaker 4: He said, it's a group of very wealthy people, all right, and.
Speaker 3: That enables TikTok to still remain in the United States.
Speaker 3: Otherwise it would be gone. Remember when they took themselves
Speaker 3: offline and the outcry was unbelievable. So it came back,
Speaker 3: and now it's on his third go round, and I
Speaker 3: think they have to find one.
Speaker 1: Oh, here is a fun story deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this man talking about giving away wealth. One
Speaker 2: man's final wishes was to show his community, you know, love,
Speaker 2: and he wanted to do it with a cash drop
Speaker 2: from the sky. So on Friday, June twenty seventh, around
Speaker 2: one pm there in East Detroit, man's last request was
Speaker 2: fulfilled when a helicopter dropped thousands of dollars in cash
Speaker 2: onto pedestrians down below. And you know, from what I read,
Speaker 2: everybody got a little bit. There wasn't like pushing, screaming.
Speaker 1: And do you believe that?
Speaker 3: Do you believe cash coming down and no one is
Speaker 3: going to go for it and push.
Speaker 1: People out of the way. Beautiful there was, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: someone said it was really beautiful. Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 2: Cynical on a Monday, this much cynicism.
Speaker 3: Huh Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, because Tuesday through Thursday.
Speaker 3: I'm not cynical.
Speaker 2: I'm just a man, can hope.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Edison is fesced up to a flaw.
Speaker 5: They're saying that our lawyers are saying that both the
Speaker 5: Saddle Ridge fire in twenty nineteen and the Hearst fire
Speaker 5: were started because there is improper grounding that has been
Speaker 5: done by so Cal Edison, and that comes after so
Speaker 5: Cal Edison admitted that its equipment may have ignited the
Speaker 5: Hurst fire, which was the one that broke out near
Speaker 5: Silmar around the same time that the fires in Pacific
Speaker 5: Palisades and Altadena were burning. But they're saying lawyers are saying, Hey,
Speaker 5: the same problem started the fire in twenty nineteen called
Speaker 5: the saddle Ridge fire. For Edison is saying Nope, we
Speaker 5: didn't start that one. Yeah, admitted to the one this time.
Speaker 1: In the meantime. The Palisades fire is.
Speaker 3: I've seen that videotape of the fire igniting right there
Speaker 3: next to one of the power poles.
Speaker 4: The Palisades or the eating Palislaves. Was the fireworks they think?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: And that so was the eating fire eating was up
Speaker 4: and eaton canyon and it was.
Speaker 3: And the fire there's video of it starting just right
Speaker 3: there at the power line, the transmission line, you know,
Speaker 3: the power pole.
Speaker 1: Am I correct on that?
Speaker 3: Amy?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. Whenever I ask Amy if I am correct,
Speaker 3: she has to say yes. It's in the contract. So
Speaker 3: I just want to point that out. Why don't we take.
Speaker 2: A break when you demand a gold star on your
Speaker 2: paperwork that it gets a little yes. So there is
Speaker 2: a notorious cyber criminal group called Scattered Spider, and they
Speaker 2: are incredible being aggressive. They use their efforts to extort
Speaker 2: or embarrass victims. Right well, they've shifted their attention to
Speaker 2: the aviation industry and apparently they've successfully breached the computer
Speaker 2: networks of multiple airlines like here in the United States
Speaker 2: and Canada this month. So the FBI is responding to
Speaker 2: the hacks. So far, it has an effected airline safety
Speaker 2: or anything, but major airlines across the United States are
Speaker 2: on alert because of this.
Speaker 3: And this is a lot of this is not only malware,
Speaker 3: but they extort people straight out. And these companies will
Speaker 3: never tell us how much they pay in ransom ever.
Speaker 3: Remember any there are stories about these first hospitals and
Speaker 3: little towns, municipalities are getting nailed. We got some idea
Speaker 3: of how much money they would pay to gain at
Speaker 3: their files back to be able to use their computer
Speaker 3: system again. Now, if you're talking major, major companies, all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, everybody is very quiet.
Speaker 4: Interesting is probably mega million?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Sinaloa is just diabolical. A Mexican drug cartel
Speaker 5: apparently hired a hacker to follow the movements of a
Speaker 5: senior FBI official in Mexico City. Gathered information from the
Speaker 5: city's camera system, was able to see calls made and
Speaker 5: received by the FBI official, was able to geo locate them,
Speaker 5: and the FBI official was investigating Cineloa cartel boss etl Choppo.
Speaker 5: The Justice Department inspector general said that did they kill him?
Speaker 4: Yeah? They killed them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cartel. It's incredible how powerful the carteler. Well,
Speaker 3: first of all, they own Mexico, or they did, They
Speaker 3: owned the judges, the how many attorney generals were put
Speaker 3: into prison, They owned local mayors, and now they're well
Speaker 3: no surprise, wow. I mean there's Mexico for you and
Speaker 3: the cartels and the Mexican government blames us because we're
Speaker 3: the ones that are buying all these drugs.
Speaker 1: And they're right.
Speaker 3: Because where are the customers? And we're not saying no,
Speaker 3: All right, sorry about that.
Speaker 1: Moving on, all right.
Speaker 2: Canada says, hey, we can work this out. They'll rescind
Speaker 2: a digital service tax, a way of taxing online companies
Speaker 2: and all that. It's government said just yesterday in a
Speaker 2: bid to restart trade negotiations with we the people here
Speaker 2: in the United States.
Speaker 3: So tit for tat they're playing, remember, Canada says nope,
Speaker 3: and there start taxing, and Trump says, that's it, We're
Speaker 3: stopping all negotiations.
Speaker 1: Although the president has a point.
Speaker 3: Canada charges four hundred dollars four hundred percent duties on
Speaker 3: dairy products coming in from the United States to protect
Speaker 3: its own dairy industry. And when you talk about reciprocal taxes,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's particularly unfair. Now it's naive because
Speaker 3: you know, there's nothing even about taxes because there are
Speaker 3: some countries that produce things we desperately need and others
Speaker 3: that we sell to.
Speaker 1: But if everybody tax the same on everything, you have
Speaker 1: a free market. But you can't do that. You know,
Speaker 1: the world doesn't work that way.
