Speaker 2: By the way, CONO, good morning, good morning. Okay, So
Speaker 2: here's what so yeah, so Amy, what I did is
Speaker 2: I'm the garage door. I was opening the garage door
Speaker 2: stepping out to my car because I go through the
Speaker 2: garage sometimes. I had something to do, and so I
Speaker 2: went out there and I was looking down at my phone. Okay,
Speaker 2: and I the garage door wasn't quite open enough to
Speaker 2: clear my head, and it took off half of my skull.
Speaker 3: And it's bad.
Speaker 6: It's really bad.
Speaker 2: It's about six inches of basically down to the skull.
Speaker 4: Did it bleed a lot?
Speaker 3: Not only did it bleed a lot.
Speaker 2: Remember when I talked about my tooth that it broke
Speaker 2: at the gum line. So it broke the day before
Speaker 2: and I had an appointment to with the dentist who
Speaker 2: was just terrific, and she decided she agreed to see
Speaker 2: me during her lunch hour. So I was on my
Speaker 2: way to the dentist on an emergency dental call when
Speaker 2: this happened. I walk into the dentist's office. Blood is
Speaker 2: dripping down both sides of my face. It was really pleasant.
Speaker 2: So in any case, it is now it's horrible. Hold on, yes,
Speaker 2: scaped up. You know we're not going to take a
Speaker 2: picture of it.
Speaker 3: We should.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't, huh, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, I'm not shy about taking pictures.
Speaker 2: I remember what you were here when I took pictures
Speaker 2: of my genital warts about ten years ago.
Speaker 3: Weren't you.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: We actually I did. Actually I didn't do that.
Speaker 6: It's a joke, little tiny lens.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, See Cono thinks that stuff is funny.
Speaker 3: Nobody else does.
Speaker 6: Onno is a seven year old. He just giggled.
Speaker 3: Now I know he loves fart jokes.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, enough said, I said, I said hello
Speaker 2: to everybody. Amy, I say good morning to you. Yes
Speaker 2: you did, because I've already forgotten and will say good
Speaker 2: morning to Will I did say. Now in the studio,
Speaker 2: now with a prop plane?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, he has this tiny little plane that he
Speaker 5: holds in his hands when he does his reports and
Speaker 5: he goes, by the way.
Speaker 2: As ridiculous as that sounds, he works for iHeart, and
Speaker 2: that explains a lot.
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, are you ready to do it? Okay, where's
Speaker 3: my Oh? Here it is asking us and we're ready.
Speaker 3: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think I am here we go. I just wanted
Speaker 3: to grab the news.
Speaker 6: The news piles various persons in walls.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do.
Speaker 2: It, guys, handle on the news on this Thursday morning,
Speaker 2: December nineteenth with Amy and Neil and me late story.
Speaker 3: And another one bipartisan bill.
Speaker 2: We talked about that yesterday to move the government forward,
Speaker 2: to fund the government stop gap wise until March fourteenth.
Speaker 2: President elect Donald Trump said you kill it, kill the bill.
Speaker 3: And of course they're going to kill the bill. He's
Speaker 3: not even president yet.
Speaker 2: And the same thing happened with that bipartisan bill to
Speaker 2: strengthen the border, and he even said, I want to
Speaker 2: use this as a I want to use this for
Speaker 2: a platform for kill the bill. And it was killed instantly.
Speaker 2: And that's what's happening. And by the way, they're not wrong.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is pushing this very, very hard, and the
Speaker 2: President the Republicans are saying there's too much money being spent.
Speaker 4: And too many things in that bill. They have a
Speaker 4: new stadium in continuing reservation build.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's not as if they're wrong. Both
Speaker 2: sides have a point. I've been screaming forever. But here's
Speaker 2: the issue. Who's the deficit hawk anymore? Nobody, nobody, It
Speaker 2: used to be universal. Let's stop, let's stop, let's stop.
Speaker 2: And it's what's going to happen, is well right now?
Speaker 2: The if Congress overrides that and decides to have some
Speaker 2: balls and we'll do something other than what President elect
Speaker 2: Trump wants, Biden would sign it and Trump would go
Speaker 2: in and couldn't do anything until March fourteenth, after he
Speaker 2: becomes president. But it's could have killed and this is
Speaker 2: gonna wipe out Mike Johnson. By the way, Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: voted in favor of it. He put it together. Done,
Speaker 2: call a cost. Kevin McCarthy his seat doing exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing that Mike Johnson just did, and it is
Speaker 2: a mess. Later on, I'm going to do a I mean,
Speaker 2: this is I mean the just the the opposition and
Speaker 2: the volatility and the negativity going on with the Republicans
Speaker 2: and with Democrats coming up at seven thirty, I'm going
Speaker 2: to do a story that goes absolutely the other way,
Speaker 2: just a story about real democracy and just good manners
Speaker 2: in an election that'll be up to seven thirty. All right,
Speaker 2: let's do one more before he took a break.
Speaker 4: There's a California connection to the Wisconsin school shooter. A
Speaker 4: twenty year old guy from Carlsbad has been detained on
Speaker 4: suspicion of plotting to coordinate a mass shooting at a
Speaker 4: government building in conjunction with the Madison school shooter. So
Speaker 4: apparently FBI agents found this guy, Alexander Paffendorf from Carlsbad,
Speaker 4: and they interviewed him, and during that time he admitted
Speaker 4: that he had told the fifteen year old girl who
Speaker 4: shot and killed a teacher and another student before shooting
Speaker 4: herself at the school in Madison, Wisconsin this week, that
Speaker 4: he would arm himself with explosives and a gun and
Speaker 4: target a government building. Didn't say what the government building was.
Speaker 4: FBI agents say they saw messages from Paffendorff to the
Speaker 4: fifteen year old girl they had communicated.
Speaker 3: All right, not much I can say about that, all right.
Speaker 5: LA Deputy Mayor Brian Williams placed on leave as FBI
Speaker 5: investigates bomb threat against city haul and his possible relationship
Speaker 5: with that. So he was immediately placed on administrative leave,
Speaker 5: said a statement. The mair takes this matter very seriously.
Speaker 5: When the threat was reported. Blah blah blah, all that stuff.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, the Dow took a dive. The Dow
Speaker 4: plunged Wednesday by eleven hundred twenty three points it's two
Speaker 4: point six percent. After the FED announced that it was
Speaker 4: cutting interest rates by a quarter percent, as expected. But
Speaker 4: apparently what they didn't like was that the FED said
Speaker 4: that next year, in twenty twenty five, they're probably only
Speaker 4: going to cut their rates two times. That caused the
Speaker 4: nos do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the expectation was four times. And what's this is
Speaker 2: really counterintuitive. The economy is too hot, it's growing too quickly,
Speaker 2: and that means inflation is growing too quickly, because the
Speaker 2: two are connected.
Speaker 3: And it's tough.
Speaker 2: Although you know, the Dow, even though it is now
Speaker 2: it's gone south for the last ten days big time.
Speaker 2: But it's lost six percent in the ten days and
Speaker 2: that is not a huge amount. I mean, the Dow
Speaker 2: has lost a lot more than that during a given
Speaker 2: couple of days, so you know, and the Dow really
Speaker 2: doesn't mean a whole lot anyway. The Dow are the
Speaker 2: thirty biggest companies, the industrials. You want to look at
Speaker 2: the SMP, you want to look at the entire market,
Speaker 2: which is fine, by the way, it has not plunged
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 6: Well, don't these things mean something?
Speaker 3: No, they mean nothing. Actually they need they mean plenty.
Speaker 2: Why is it in the news. I just don't know
Speaker 2: what it means. And I want to sound like I
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6: WHOA, You're doing a great job.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 5: On that note, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by
Speaker 5: a quarter point as we talked about the third rate
Speaker 5: cut since it began to lower borrowing costs in September.
Speaker 5: So the Central Bank's latest moves leaves the benchmark lending
Speaker 5: rate in a range between four point two five and
Speaker 5: four point five two year low.
Speaker 6: But this wasn't unanimous.
Speaker 2: No, there was one person on the Fed that said no,
Speaker 2: usually it's the unanimous. But how much does this change anything?
Speaker 2: Mortgage rate six point six percent as of a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago. Interest rates on your credit card astronomical. Still,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty eight percent, twenty nine percent, twenty one percent.
Speaker 6: You have a twenty one percent interest rate on your
Speaker 6: credit card.
Speaker 2: I don't even pay attention because I pay them off
Speaker 2: at the end of the month. I don't pay attention
Speaker 2: at all. Probably it's probably twenty nine percent. What I
Speaker 2: just don't pay attention. I just I just don't care.
Speaker 2: So when I applied for the card, I get benefits
Speaker 2: and theoretically I pay for those benefits with this ridiculous
Speaker 2: interest rate, which I don't pay because I pay off
Speaker 2: my card at the end of the month.
Speaker 5: I think I have one credit card, and I think
Speaker 5: the interest rate is eight percent?
Speaker 4: Okay, but is it still eight percent? Have you checked lately?
Speaker 6: Yeah, not too long ago.
Speaker 2: I checked, because I how does it credit card be
Speaker 2: eight percent when a mortgage rate is six point six
Speaker 2: when a car loan is over eight percent at some neil.
Speaker 3: It's impossible low it might be eleven.
Speaker 2: That's even way where I am looking. I don't have
Speaker 2: anything that's twenty percent. I understand, I get it, but
Speaker 2: I don't care. They'll give you cards that'll give you
Speaker 2: ridiculous amounts of credit I mean interest, and.
Speaker 3: I just don't pay attention.
Speaker 4: There's some of them are up to like thirty and
Speaker 4: thirty five percent. What I have you not been listening
Speaker 4: to Joel lars Card I do.
Speaker 5: I listen to Joel all the time. I listened to
Speaker 5: him on your show as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, as long as you do what Bill
Speaker 4: is doing and you pay it off every month so
Speaker 4: you don't pay the interest, it's fine. They're good tools.
Speaker 4: But those interest rates are just through the roof. I
Speaker 4: just got my American Express is twenty two or twenty
Speaker 4: three percent now, which is free nineteen.
Speaker 6: Well that tracks for you. I wouldn't give you a loan.
Speaker 2: They will because they're yeah big will look at he
Speaker 2: looks like a hood.
Speaker 3: You know, it used to be.
Speaker 2: It's gotten the point now where you are better off
Speaker 2: borrowing money from the mafia and paying vig.
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay uh.
Speaker 4: A secret vote apparently did the trick. So the House
Speaker 4: Ethics Committee is going to release the report on former
Speaker 4: Congressman Matt Gates this week. Last month, they voted along
Speaker 4: party lines not to release the results. But the panel
Speaker 4: voted this month in secret. And when they did it
Speaker 4: in secret, that's when they said, okay, yeah, we want
Speaker 4: to get that information out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I'm not a big fan of Matt Gates
Speaker 2: at all, but what's the benefit of releasing a report
Speaker 2: on someone who is not in government anymore, is not
Speaker 2: involved in Congress, does not have any job in the government.
Speaker 2: What's the good other than pure retribution just to make
Speaker 2: him look bad. I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2: I would have voted no, and maybe because it was
Speaker 2: a secret vote. He was also hated by virtually everybody
Speaker 2: in Congress. He was not liked at all by Republicans
Speaker 2: or by Democrats, and that may have been one of
Speaker 2: the reasons.
Speaker 3: Let's do one more for taking a break, Neil Okay.
Speaker 5: Trump borders Are says he'll need funding and at least
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand beds to carry out deportation. I think
Speaker 5: currently we have like forty thousand detention beds that are funded.
Speaker 5: And Tom Homan, who Donald Trump has tapped as his
Speaker 5: incoming administrations borders Are said that he that plans are
Speaker 5: underway to deport undocumented immigrants at large scale and that
Speaker 5: he'll need funding to do so.
Speaker 2: And he's thinking of getting the military involved. Now, the
Speaker 2: military cannot enforce laws in the United States, not allowed
Speaker 2: to by law. However, can they support Can they provide intelligence? Nah?
Speaker 3: Probably? Can they keep peace?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: No, they can't do jack, so they wait.
Speaker 2: Their military is for foreign invasions and national security outside
Speaker 2: the country. We have bases and we launch a national Guard.
Speaker 2: National Guard is different. That's they are not. It's a
Speaker 2: separate force. National Guard is not the Army, the Navy,
Speaker 2: or the Air Force, even though they do fly and
Speaker 2: do the same things they do.
Speaker 6: Their Army National Guard is not the Army.
Speaker 3: That's correct.
Speaker 2: See if I'm right on that. Please Okay, God, you
Speaker 2: got me confused.
Speaker 6: Hey, Siri oh Man.
Speaker 2: Is the Army National Guard part of the US military?
Speaker 3: I'm absolutely right, but I've just shut it off so
Speaker 3: you'll know that. You won't know, Oh it is Huh.
Speaker 5: You were the kid that threw the board up right
Speaker 5: before you in the air, right before you lost Monopoly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Jame's over all right now, all right, Neil
Speaker 3: may have been right on that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go back to Okay, I just say, you
Speaker 2: know what, Cono, can you delete all of that?
Speaker 3: You know I would have reachedlt that last time. I
Speaker 3: just made an ass out of myself. No more than usual.
Speaker 4: Ok TikTok's going straight to the top. The Supreme Court
Speaker 4: has agreed to hear arguments and make a decision on
Speaker 4: whether a ban on TikTok violates the First Amendment. The
Speaker 4: High Court is going to hear arguments on January tenth,
Speaker 4: and if TikTok doesn't sell by January nineteenth, TikTok, of
Speaker 4: course is Chinese zone. If they don't sell by the nineteenth,
Speaker 4: it would effectively be banned in the United States.
Speaker 2: Now the government is saying that ban is based on
Speaker 2: the fact. The government is saying this is national security
Speaker 2: issues because you have Chinese people, not that the Chinese
Speaker 2: government known for. Of course, it's honesty and not hacking,
Speaker 2: and TikTok is arguing we have a First Amendment right now.
Speaker 2: The same thing happened in China where one of the
Speaker 2: American platforms argued First Amendment rights.
Speaker 3: And the lawyers were shot.
Speaker 2: Because that's just not quite the place to go if
Speaker 2: I run the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you.
Speaker 2: What's good for the goose, or excuse me, what's good
Speaker 2: for the pay king duck is good for the pay
Speaker 2: king duck.
Speaker 6: I will tell you this.
Speaker 5: It is weird when other countries you are amendment argue
Speaker 5: our rules.
Speaker 2: I happen to think I think the Supreme Court is
Speaker 2: going to rule in favor of the government on this one.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 5: All right, healthcare CEO killing the latest going on right now.
Speaker 5: Mangioni arrives at court faces extradition to New York on
Speaker 5: first greet murdered charges.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in front of a judge who has to
Speaker 2: okay extradition. He's still in he's still in Pennsylvania, and
Speaker 2: he has the right to fight extradition.
Speaker 6: But he's not going to.
Speaker 2: No, he's waited, and so judge's going to simply rubber
Speaker 2: stamp it and they're going to fly him out.
Speaker 3: And he gets to fly private.
Speaker 6: Look, only you would know and care about that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: do you know what he's eating on the plane?
Speaker 3: You know what? I haven't gotten the menu yet.
Speaker 4: The EPA is putting the gas on a ban to
Speaker 4: ban gas cars. The Biden administration has officially granted California
Speaker 4: permission to ban new gas car sales in the state
Speaker 4: by the year twenty thirty five. The state needed to
Speaker 4: get the waiver from the EPA to proceed with the mandate,
Speaker 4: and President Biden said, yep, let's do it. That's one
Speaker 4: of his final acts, pushing the auto industry into the
Speaker 4: green energy sector.
Speaker 2: And President elect Trump is going to say, considering his
Speaker 2: connection to Putin yet it is not going to happen.
Speaker 3: He is going to reverse it.
Speaker 2: This may be one of the day one reversals which
Speaker 2: the President can because this is a directive. This is
Speaker 2: not a law passed by Congress. This is an executive directive,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 5: LAPD LAFD charged two million dollars for working Dodgers World
Speaker 5: Series parade and just a little over two million dollars,
Speaker 5: And of course the Dodgers end up paying for this.
Speaker 6: They're all too happy.
Speaker 5: To cut that check and take care of the people
Speaker 5: that kept everyone safe. But that's a pretty penny for
Speaker 5: one parade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were fine with it.
Speaker 2: They just loved it because well, when they won.
Speaker 3: When did they win was a twenty twenty World Series?
Speaker 2: They won, right, and during COVID they couldn't have the parade.
Speaker 3: So this one they went balls to the wall. We're
Speaker 3: going to have a big parade and we'll pay the money. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So when you, in this case request the permit to
Speaker 5: conduct this special event, they agreed to pay the city's
Speaker 5: actual cost for providing everything.
Speaker 4: Definitely not a lot of love on this boat. The
Speaker 4: FBI's investigating very good. A Royal Caribbean cruise ship pulled
Speaker 4: into port on Monday in la A passenger had died
Speaker 4: on board its navigator of the sea's ship. They're trying
Speaker 4: to figure out what happened. Thirty five year old Michael
Speaker 4: Vigil allegedly attacked two crew members during a sailing over
Speaker 4: the weekend, and video footage shows him attempting to kick
Speaker 4: down the door to a room where a crew member
Speaker 4: was apparently hiding before he was subdued by security. And
Speaker 4: sometime during that altercation he died.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can see him kicking the door. You can
Speaker 2: see security overwhelming him. He's now on the ground. That's
Speaker 2: the only video that you see. And then, as you said,
Speaker 2: somewhere during that he died. Now I have been on
Speaker 2: Royal Caribbean and it's going to turn out that he
Speaker 2: died of food poisoning.
Speaker 6: Oh, you can't say that.
Speaker 4: It's not true.
Speaker 3: Are they advertisers?
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter, you can't. Isn't there some legal issue there?
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Oh I know. Let me put
Speaker 3: it this way.
Speaker 2: Seafood salad, right, which usually a shrimp in scallops they
Speaker 2: were opening at Cana Tuna.
Speaker 6: Was the guy intoxicated?
Speaker 4: Amy King, don't know?
Speaker 3: Did he die of food poisoning? Don't know, don't know.
Speaker 4: We're not going to assume the bill that he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you assume, you make an ass out of here.
Speaker 2: Okay, well let me okay, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: Have you ever cruised on Royal Caribbean.
Speaker 4: No, I've been on Princess.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you have no credibility all at all with
Speaker 2: Royal Caribbean.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I didn't make an assertion, though.
Speaker 3: I didn't make an assertion.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did, Okay, I absolutely did.
Speaker 3: All right. I had everybody's head about the bed ki
Speaker 3: am six forty, don't handle here.
Speaker 2: On a Thursday morning, December nineteenth, the last story we
Speaker 2: did before he went to break was about the Royal
Speaker 2: Caribbean passenger dying on the ship. And I had said
Speaker 2: that they're gonna find out he died of food poisoning.
Speaker 2: I said that I was going to get a phone
Speaker 2: call or I the iHeart lawyers were gonna call me.
Speaker 2: They called me and I told him to go stuff it. However,
Speaker 2: I would like to humbly apologize to Royal Caribbean and
Speaker 2: tell everybody the food is some of the best food
Speaker 2: I have ever eaten in my life. Okay, wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a whole all right, Why don't we move on
Speaker 2: more handle on the news.
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 5: Don't drip over the tail between your legs. All right,
Speaker 5: So America's first severe case of bird flu is confirmed.
Speaker 5: It's in Louisiana. The Center of for Disease Control and
Speaker 5: Prevention said this is the first such case in the
Speaker 5: United States. The person was exposed to sick and dead
Speaker 5: birds in backyard flocks. Don't go around sick and dead birds. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's pretty simple. Yeah, stay away from sick and dead birds.
Speaker 2: And I think this one someone had like a flock
Speaker 2: in their backyard. Well they yeah, I mean, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: who keeps flocks in their backyard? What?
Speaker 4: How many is a flock? Because my friend of mine
Speaker 4: has some chickens in the backyard.
Speaker 3: That's how many she's got.
Speaker 4: Like ten or eleven. That's a flock.
Speaker 3: That's a flock.
Speaker 6: There's not something else when it's poultry.
Speaker 2: Uh, maybe it's a pod. Maybe it's a herd of chickens.
Speaker 6: A murder.
Speaker 2: That's that's pros Yeah, I know. Oh, that's a fun game.
Speaker 2: By the way, giraffes, you know what those are two
Speaker 2: words for giraffes, I mean two terms. If a giraffe
Speaker 2: is standing and not moving. No, that's a parliament is
Speaker 2: owls for real? So giraffes that are not moving standing
Speaker 2: still is a tower of giraffes appropriate? If they are moving,
Speaker 2: it's a Johnny of giraffes.
Speaker 5: I mean, go figure, and uh you've got what else?
Speaker 1: Uh?
