Speaker 2: Cono, and the lovely Ann Good morning Anne.
Speaker 5: Hello Bill.
Speaker 2: Hi. Oh all right, now, a couple of fun things
Speaker 2: are going to happen today, and one of them is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite handle History segments.
Speaker 3: And this has to do with what is it are
Speaker 3: we doing that? We're doing a Sears article today, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes we are. Yeah, So the rundown right there.
Speaker 2: Okay, out to the seven thirty and seven thirty there's
Speaker 2: going to be a part of it will be handled history.
Speaker 3: The people of Altadena.
Speaker 2: There's a nonprofit that's formed to bring homes to Altadena
Speaker 2: and actually coming back from nineteen eleven, it's a recycled
Speaker 2: story and it has to do with buying kit houses.
Speaker 3: It used to be from Seers.
Speaker 2: Seers used to sell houses in kits, like little model
Speaker 2: airplane kits, and it would sell you the whole thing,
Speaker 2: I mean, the nails, the lumber, all cut to order
Speaker 2: and you put it together. Today that you can buy
Speaker 2: manufactured housing, which is kind of neat.
Speaker 3: It's manufactured.
Speaker 2: The plans are already built done, you can't change them,
Speaker 2: and they're built in a factory so there's no waste
Speaker 2: and it's really neat and it costs far far less,
Speaker 2: and they.
Speaker 3: Just put them up.
Speaker 2: But it's the company that puts them up. It's the
Speaker 2: manufactured housing company.
Speaker 3: This was here.
Speaker 2: You go put it together yourself and I'll tell you
Speaker 2: a little bit more about that, and also the Seiers
Speaker 2: catalog itself, because we're going back of the early days
Speaker 2: of series and that history is phenomenal. It's one of
Speaker 2: the great fun stories of US history back at the
Speaker 2: turn of the last century.
Speaker 3: Okay, that being said, let me see what else is
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 2: We got that, We got doctor Jim Today I talked
Speaker 2: a little bit about plane crashes, why young people are
Speaker 2: veering right right wing.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of reasons for there.
Speaker 2: And Okay, let's just move on because we've got plenty
Speaker 2: to cover today and it's all over the map, which
Speaker 2: is a good thing. It is time for handle on
Speaker 2: the news with Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 3: Can we just.
Speaker 1: Can we?
Speaker 2: And it all has to do with top Russian and
Speaker 2: US officials.
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio, who is our Secretary.
Speaker 2: Of State meeting with lev who is the Foreign Minister
Speaker 2: of Russia, and Russia and the United States are now
Speaker 2: going to become great friends. Putin and Trump are going
Speaker 2: to sit down, They're going to break bread, and they
Speaker 2: are going to have a rip roaring good time, leaving
Speaker 2: Ukraine in the dust and Europe spinning outright. Yesterday, Trump
Speaker 2: blamed Ukraine for starting the war right out, He said,
Speaker 2: Ukraine started this war, and they could have ended it
Speaker 2: very quickly, ending it at the very beginning with simply
Speaker 2: it would have been just simply seeding territory at Russia.
Speaker 3: How much do you want here?
Speaker 2: It is and so Russia is spinning, Zelenski is spinning.
Speaker 2: And man, this whole thing is being upended. Our traditional
Speaker 2: alliances are really disappearing quickly. Next month, I'm in Europe
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see how Americans are hated.
Speaker 2: Cannot wait to see what happened when I walked in
Speaker 2: on my American passport.
Speaker 4: Uh, I that might not be about America. It might
Speaker 4: just be you.
Speaker 2: I know, No, it'll be fortunately. Yeah, if it were
Speaker 2: just about me, i'd buy into that. But no, unfortunately
Speaker 2: it's about America, and it's really a drag.
Speaker 5: Okay, Uh, President Zelensky sis President Trump may be falling
Speaker 5: victim to fake news. Basically, he appealed to the Trump
Speaker 5: administration to respect the truth and avoid disinformation. In discussing
Speaker 5: UH the war that began when Russia invaded his country,
Speaker 5: Trump suggested, as Bill just mentioned yesterday, that Ukraine might
Speaker 5: have started it, and mister Zelenski said, I would like
Speaker 5: to have more truth with the Trump team. He's got
Speaker 5: to be panicking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course he is. Now, let me make a suggestion.
Speaker 2: Trump didn't merely suggest it. He said it as a
Speaker 2: fact Ukraine started the war straight out, and the other
Speaker 2: thing falling into the pattern of disinformation.
Speaker 3: He is creating the disinformation.
Speaker 2: When was the last time you heard from any right
Speaker 2: wing or any political viewpoint that Ukraine started the war?
Speaker 3: I haven't heard it.
Speaker 2: So it's another one. We're just spinning. What's his end
Speaker 2: all game on this?
Speaker 1: He loves the evidence of that?
Speaker 3: Was he saying there's no evidence, there's no there's no.
Speaker 1: Wearing a short skirt deserve Yeah, or.
Speaker 3: Less than that. Yeah, there's no evidence.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's insane to say that. It makes
Speaker 2: no sense, But it does make sense with if you're
Speaker 2: looking for a raproschmal with Putin and you want to
Speaker 2: go back to the days when the US and the
Speaker 2: Soviet Union had good relationships with each other and the
Speaker 2: two like each other. Putin and Trump just like each other.
Speaker 2: Putin's winning on this one big time. Lavrov even said
Speaker 2: the United States is now basically coming to reality and
Speaker 2: realizing what is really going on, that the relations between
Speaker 2: Russia and the United States are paramount here and if
Speaker 2: Ukraine falls by the wayside, Ukraine falls by the wayside.
Speaker 2: And then the fear becomes if Putin got away with this,
Speaker 2: does he go anyplace else?
Speaker 3: And no one knows at this point.
Speaker 4: All right, Judge declined to immediately block Elon Musk's Government
Speaker 4: Efficiency Department from directing firings of federal workers or accessing databases,
Speaker 4: but says the case raises questions about Musk's apparent unchecked authority.
Speaker 4: Of course Musk spearhead stage. It's taking the lead role
Speaker 4: carrying out Republican President's plans for downsizing and overhauling the
Speaker 4: federal government.
Speaker 3: So it looks it's like they're going to go forward.
Speaker 2: The judge Tanya Chudkhan, who is if I remember correctly,
Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong, she's sort of known
Speaker 2: as for so more pro Trump than anti Trump. I mean,
Speaker 2: there are plenty of judges that don't like the administration,
Speaker 2: and plenty who do I mean to think that judges
Speaker 2: are now objective that's gone by a wayside a long
Speaker 2: time ago. And she said no, that in fact, the
Speaker 2: Trump administration does have the right to do what they're doing,
Speaker 2: and both sides have an argument there.
Speaker 3: You know, look at the law and the court will
Speaker 3: interpret that law.
Speaker 2: By the way, this will be a Supreme Court case,
Speaker 2: There's no question about that.
Speaker 5: Will RFK go back on his promise? Do you earn
Speaker 5: the vote he needed to become the nation's top health official.
Speaker 5: Robert F. Kennedy Junior made a promise to a US
Speaker 5: senator saying he would not change the nation's current vaccination schedule.
Speaker 5: But yesterday, so you talked for the first time to
Speaker 5: health in human services workers. He said he vowed to
Speaker 5: investigate the childhood vaccine schedule that prevents measles, polio, and
Speaker 5: other dangerous diseases. He said nothing is going to be
Speaker 5: off limit, and also said that pesticides, food additives, microplastics, antidepressants,
Speaker 5: and the electro magnetic waves put out by cell phones
Speaker 5: and microwaves would also be studied.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you tend to promise and then oops, what happens?
Speaker 2: You can change your mind once confirmed. That happened to Gorsage.
Speaker 2: Murkowski Republican but pretty liberal Republican, pro choice Republican.
Speaker 3: When was questioning Gorsage as Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: Nominee asked him outright, do you believe in precedence because
Speaker 2: Roe v. Wade is nineteen seventy three and now we
Speaker 2: have all of these decades of precedence. He goes, absolutely,
Speaker 2: I believe in precedents. You must pay attention to precedents.
Speaker 2: He gets confirmed, Boom, overturns Roe v.
Speaker 3: Wade. Precedence means nothing, same thing happening here.
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, I believe in vaccine, Senator one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: So Cassidy reluctantly votes in his favor. A lot of
Speaker 2: has to do with Cassidy is up for reelection next year,
Speaker 2: so he's very vulnerable as a Republican in terms of
Speaker 2: the primary.
Speaker 3: And I'll bet you he is spinning right now, just spinning.
Speaker 1: What does this mean though.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it means.
Speaker 2: I mean, is he going I don't know how crazy
Speaker 2: RFK is. Is he going to stop vaccinations? I don't
Speaker 2: think so he's going.
Speaker 3: To study them. So let's say he studies vaccination and
Speaker 3: here's what he posits.
Speaker 2: Vaccines cause autism. Okay, let's see the evidence. Well, there
Speaker 2: isn't any vaccines somehow are harmful to you. And he
Speaker 2: pulls out the point zero zero one percent where people
Speaker 2: are harmed by vaccines, and they goes, see, there's the
Speaker 2: proof that vaccine do cause injuries or do cause harm
Speaker 2: in terms of people react negatively to it, sort of
Speaker 2: ignoring that ninety eight point ninety nine percent of people,
Speaker 2: of course are held by vaccines. Well, see, I have
Speaker 2: no idea. I will tell you he's crazy. I don't
Speaker 2: have all that you don't have.
Speaker 4: You don't have to tell me that. Okay, just look
Speaker 4: at the eyes asteroid. Hey, just don't worry about all
Speaker 4: this political stuff. Man, there's other things to worry about,
Speaker 4: like the possibility of what they refer to as a
Speaker 4: city killer asteroid hitting the Earth. This asteroid's big enough
Speaker 4: to wipe out a city. It's about one hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty to three hundred feet wide asteroid.
Speaker 1: It's named twenty twenty four. Why are four?
Speaker 4: In December of twenty twenty four, it was discovered and
Speaker 4: it had roughly a one percent chance of impacting the
Speaker 4: Earth on its trajectory, which anything above one percent is
Speaker 4: actually kind of a big deal apparently, So on January
Speaker 4: twenty seventh's are passed that one percent chance of hitting
Speaker 4: the Earth and then it jumped up again, and on
Speaker 4: February seventh, Nasay issued an update saying the probability grew
Speaker 4: to two point three, and then as of February eighteenth,
Speaker 4: just yesterday, there was a three point one chance that
Speaker 4: this asteroid would hit the Earth on December twenty second,
Speaker 4: twenty thirty two, just in time for the holidays. So
Speaker 4: that means it's the odds are one in thirty two
Speaker 4: and could get higher.
Speaker 2: Because it's moving in that direction. Isn't that special? Now,
Speaker 2: we've had something like this about this size. Happened in
Speaker 2: nineteen oh eight in Siberia, which was very sparsely populated,
Speaker 2: and man, it took out hundreds of miles and people
Speaker 2: saw it and heard it thousands of miles away.
Speaker 3: It was about this size.
Speaker 2: It gets anywhere near a city, goodbye, city is gone.
Speaker 3: Now here's the good news.
Speaker 2: They're looking at the risk cord Or, Eastern Pacific Ocean,
Speaker 2: Northern South America, Eastern Pacific Ocean. Still the tsunami issue
Speaker 2: in the Atlantic, Africa, the Arabian.
Speaker 3: Sea, and South Asia. So we're going to be fine.
Speaker 4: Actually, the government wants us to get rid of magnets.
Speaker 4: That's true, because they feel we might be pulling it
Speaker 4: towards us.
Speaker 3: Excellent, Well said.
Speaker 5: Cuts could cut off millions. Republicans are weighing billions of
Speaker 5: dollars in cuts to Medicaid. The Republicans are looking to
Speaker 5: slash federal spending and they're also eyeing work requirements for Medicaid.
Speaker 5: That eighty million adults and children are enrolled in Medicaid programs.
Speaker 5: A lot of them signed up during the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're seeing You're going to see a lot of
Speaker 2: taxpayer funded programs that health programs, education programs, becut. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just that simple. As part of the Trump agenda.
Speaker 2: By the way, he said that's what he was going
Speaker 2: to do. So those people who are bitching and moaning
Speaker 2: and screaming, oh my god, oh my god. Hey, you
Speaker 2: know what, welcome to the United States. Now, this is
Speaker 2: what and who we have elected. Now let's just move
Speaker 2: forward and either fight for it or agree with it
Speaker 2: or deal with it.
Speaker 4: I kind of like this, CIA under President Donald Trump
Speaker 4: has been covertly flying MQ nine Reaper drones over Mexico
Speaker 4: to spy on drug cartels.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just kind of like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I just I don't know, good use of
Speaker 1: some tech, I guess.
Speaker 4: So these missions, which were not previously reported, come as
Speaker 4: Trump and it is his administration moves to treat you know,
Speaker 4: these drug cartels as terrorist organizations, which is not a
Speaker 4: bad idea. So they're used normally for all kinds of
Speaker 4: different missions. These are not currently armed, but they can
Speaker 4: be equipped with payloads and do precision strikes.
Speaker 1: Should they Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, these cartels are not officially a terrorist organization
Speaker 2: yet I think once they have been deemed a terrorist organization,
Speaker 2: I think the law allows it wide open to attack them.
Speaker 3: By these drones, and I think we're heading in that direction.
Speaker 3: I'm all for it.
Speaker 5: Who is, by the way, making colleges safer for students.
Speaker 5: Twenty year old Tyler Hilliard went to a fraternity events
Speaker 5: near Mount Rubideau back on in September in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 5: and he was going to pledge a fraternity and so
Speaker 5: he went to this event and was apparently forced by
Speaker 5: members of his fraternity to eat a whole onion covered
Speaker 5: in hot sauce and then drink a bunch of water
Speaker 5: and then get spanked with part of a cactus. Later,
Speaker 5: he was rushed to the hospital ultimately died as a
Speaker 5: result of hazing. Nobody was prosecuted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you what kind of a fraternity do you
Speaker 2: want to belong to that does stuff like this? Now
Speaker 2: I can the part of being spanked with part of
Speaker 2: a cactus.
Speaker 3: That part, I can understand. I've paid for that in
Speaker 3: my time.
Speaker 2: But the rest of it, come on, guys, and the
Speaker 2: kid dies and no one's prosecuted. So this enables a
Speaker 2: civil suit to go against the school.
Speaker 3: Kind of impossible to.
Speaker 2: Believe that the school was not held civilly liable at
Speaker 2: least at this point, but it wasn't.
Speaker 5: Well, And now there's a new law. It's called Tyler's Law,
Speaker 5: and it will enable universities to be sued by hazing
Speaker 5: victims if the college knew about it or should have
Speaker 5: known about it, and didn't do anything to stop it.
Speaker 5: So that's a new development which is necessary.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Handel's birthplace. Brazil's former president
Speaker 4: was charged just yesterday in connection with the plotting of
Speaker 4: a coup to overturn his twenty twenty two election loss,
Speaker 4: further complicating this. Beleaguered far right leaders already narrow hopes
Speaker 4: of political comeback. Gosh, you've got to be pretty tenacious
Speaker 4: to think that you're going to make it through all that.
Speaker 3: Well, imagine this.
Speaker 2: He called himself the Donald Trump of South America.
Speaker 3: Hier Bosnado. He put Donald Trump on a pedestal.
Speaker 2: Right winger who looked at Donald Trump as a leader
Speaker 2: in terms of not only politics, but how to go
Speaker 2: about politics.
Speaker 3: And a lot of people, a lot of right wing
Speaker 3: governments around the world feel the same way.
Speaker 2: About President Trump, because President Trump is president of the
Speaker 2: United States. And I've just said many times the US
Speaker 2: is this juggernaut and people listen really closely, so look
Speaker 2: at how just connected they are. He's right wing, he
Speaker 2: runs for he runs for president, he loses. He's being
Speaker 2: charged with attempting to overturn an election.
Speaker 5: That sounds familiar.
Speaker 3: Doesn't that sound familiar?
Speaker 2: And if you think Joe Biden is left wing, holy moly,
Speaker 2: You've got Lula Lula de Silva known as Lula in Brazil.
Speaker 3: This guy did go to jail for corruption.
Speaker 2: He spent time in prison for corruption, and his conviction
Speaker 2: was overturned on a technicality, a procedural technicality.
Speaker 3: He who came back and he won. This guy has
Speaker 3: a third grade education.
Speaker 2: Lula, he came up through the ranks of labor, very
Speaker 2: very smart man. And I remember family members who are
Speaker 2: fairly wealthy in Brazil and construction business, etc. Were devastated
Speaker 2: when Lula won the first time out. They couldn't believe
Speaker 2: what that country is going to turn communists and they
Speaker 2: were rending their hair. The first thing he did, Lula
Speaker 2: when he became president is brought in foreign investment. It
Speaker 2: turned out to yeah, we want your investment. Of course,
Speaker 2: we'll give you laws that help you. So you just
Speaker 2: never know, do you.
Speaker 5: Well, gambling addiction is up. You can bet on it.
Speaker 5: Internet searches seeking help for gambling addictions have skyrocketed as
Speaker 5: the number of states with legalized sports betting has expanded
Speaker 5: in recent years. Now thirty eight states in DC allows
Speaker 5: sports betting in some form. That follows twenty eighteen Supreme
Speaker 5: Court ruling that broke up Nevada's monopoly on sports betting.
Speaker 2: Is that a surprise, No, gambling addiction is up because
Speaker 2: there's strangely enough more gambling.
Speaker 5: Well, at least they're calling about it. Hopefully they're going
Speaker 5: to yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I do I don't gamble, do you gamble. By the way,
Speaker 3: do you when you go to Vegas? You do? You're
Speaker 3: one of those people.
Speaker 4: I'm one of those Neil, Are you gambling or you gaming?
Speaker 1: Because I like to sit there and play. I love playing.
Speaker 1: You play.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean it's not gambling. It is gambling.
Speaker 1: But you're gambling if you go to the movies. Uh,
Speaker 1: whether you're.
Speaker 2: Gambling when you eat, when you go to a deli
Speaker 2: and you're gambling that you're the Roman.
Speaker 3: Lettuce is going to kill you.
Speaker 4: I guess Okay, you play is fun to me, but
Speaker 4: I don't want to sit there and lose a bunch
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, how many people do.
Speaker 2: For those of you that want to lose a bunch
Speaker 2: of money gambling, please raise your hands.
Speaker 4: But it's not like I'm going to tell myself one
Speaker 4: more hand and I'm going to win.
Speaker 3: Well, that's an addiction. That's an addiction.
Speaker 5: Wait, I've told myself that.
Speaker 3: Well have you you're ident?
Speaker 5: Am I completely Well, I haven't been to Las Vegas
Speaker 5: in like three years.
Speaker 2: You're still addicted. And that's the only place where you
Speaker 2: gamble's in Las Vegas pretty much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not as special. You know that they have
Speaker 5: nice casinos here, but I like to play in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a lot of people do. Vegas is a destination.
Speaker 2: I won't put a quarter in a machine. I won't
Speaker 2: put a nickel in a machine.
Speaker 3: I won't. I just get too depressed when I lose.
Speaker 2: I'm such a curmudgeon that when I lose, I get
Speaker 2: so depressed. When I lose anything, I don't care if
Speaker 2: it's a nickel. I want to jump off the parking structure,
Speaker 2: take a swan dive. When I win, It's eh, I'll
Speaker 2: lose it next round.
Speaker 1: Oh we should go gambling.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: This is kind of fascinating for the history buff Nine
Speaker 4: shipwrecks from World War One have been discovered off of
Speaker 4: Morocco's coast, which is gorgeous, by the way. Nine ships
Speaker 4: that were sunk by German torpedoes during World War One.
Speaker 4: Now they've been found. Uh And this is like the
Speaker 4: latest in a string of shipwrecks from that war that
Speaker 4: have been found in recent months.
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 4: Like with all the technology we have and mapping and
Speaker 4: all these abilities.
Speaker 3: It's a big ocean. You're doing a map. Big O's
Speaker 3: a big ocean to map.
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's going to be around.
Speaker 4: We usually know roughly where these things are and what
Speaker 4: took place, and we're still finding them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, these guys came a long way to do some
Speaker 5: bad things. Seven men have been charged with a nationwide
Speaker 5: spree of burglaries. We've been telling you about them. High
Speaker 5: profile athletes are targeted, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5: Four of the guys have already pleaded not guilty to
Speaker 5: initial charges in Ohio of participating in a criminal gang
Speaker 5: and some other stuff. But they say that all of
Speaker 5: them are from Chile and we're part of a gang
Speaker 5: that again targets celebrity homes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Persian Palace was a victim of one of
Speaker 2: these Chilean gangs.
Speaker 3: And what they would do is very smart people.
Speaker 2: First of all, to be in and out in ninety seconds,
Speaker 2: throw a ladder up, go into the master bedroom window,
Speaker 2: didn't bother with anything else, because that's where people kept
Speaker 2: their jewel that's where people kept their money, usually in
Speaker 2: drawers or whatever and not very carefully secreted. And what
Speaker 2: they would do is just clean them out.
Speaker 3: Boom done.
Speaker 2: It broke through a door, a French door upstairs, went in. Now,
Speaker 2: we had a safe where we kept some nice jewelry.
Speaker 2: The rest of it was costume jewelry, and they cleaned
Speaker 2: it out, literally in ninety seconds. And they cleaned out
Speaker 2: some of these very very expensive bags, coach bags, Herbie's bags.
Speaker 2: And Marjorie was devastated. And that's when I had to
Speaker 2: admit they were all knockoffs, and they cost me thirty
Speaker 2: dollars a.
Speaker 1: Piece, and plus they secreed you.
Speaker 3: Well, I said, don't worry too much about it. I
Speaker 3: don't know what she was more upset about. By the way,
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Cal Fire captain died Monday after she was stabbed multiple
Speaker 4: times in her San Diego County home. It seems that
Speaker 4: Rebecca or Becky as she was known Morodi, who was
Speaker 4: forty nine, was the victim of potential domestic violence. An
Speaker 4: incident of some kind may be tied to someone she knew.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 5: They're letting the lawyers go. The Trump administration has ordered
Speaker 5: legal services or providers rather working with unaccompanied illegal immigrant
Speaker 5: kids to stop working. That's according to a memo that
Speaker 5: CNN got its hands on.
Speaker 2: This is interesting because the people that are arguing how
Speaker 2: dare you do this? This is an administration that is
Speaker 2: dead set on deporting illegal migrants, and at the same
Speaker 2: time has and funds lawyers to fight the administration and
Speaker 2: argue in favor of illegal migrants. And so you go,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, how do you go this way and
Speaker 2: then at the same time fund the other way?
Speaker 3: Well, this couple. We have a couple of political issues here.
Speaker 2: One, these are kids for one thing, and uh two,
Speaker 2: these are kids for one thing, and there's the political
Speaker 2: fallout on that. One is these are for kids in
Speaker 2: government custody. The Florence Immigrant refuge Refugee Rights Project, which
Speaker 2: is one of these organizations, provides quote know your Rights
Speaker 2: presentations for kids and government custody who are without their parents.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is really complicated, complicated stuff.
Speaker 1: Is that abandon.
Speaker 3: No abandonment when the police arrest your parents?
Speaker 1: No? Oh no, I thought they were unaccompanied, meaning that
Speaker 1: they were sent here without them.
Speaker 3: And they maybe yeah, yeah, and in some cases they do.
Speaker 2: They send children over with people or with older siblings out.
Speaker 2: It's not abandonment because it's the crime was not committed
Speaker 2: in the United States.
Speaker 3: Because the parents aren't around to arrest. So you've got kids.
Speaker 2: So we're being caught up and these organizations and the
Speaker 2: government itself had lawyers that argued in their favor. And
Speaker 2: now the Trump administration is saying, we can't have both either,
Speaker 2: We're going to be on one side or the other,
Speaker 2: although the government does fund defense attorneys. Now, everybody's entitled
Speaker 2: to an attorney. You know, you have the right to
Speaker 2: an attorney. Anything you say may or can be used
Speaker 2: against you in a court of la Miranda warnings, and
Speaker 2: part of it is you are entitled to an attorney, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, came out of a case Gideon versus
Speaker 2: Wainwright nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 3: Thought I'd mentioned that. Okay, all right, on Jeopardy, what
Speaker 3: go ahead, just do it and just do me.
Speaker 4: Teaming up together, You've got Nike is keeping up with
Speaker 4: Kim Kardashian and their and their shapewear brand Skims. So
Speaker 4: this they're putting together a new brand that will disrupt
Speaker 4: the global fitness and active weear industry. I can wait. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's that.
Speaker 2: How does someone like Kim Kardashian, who is her her
Speaker 2: skill which is phenomenal, her skill level is at being
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 3: That's basically what she does. She's saying, does she dance?
Speaker 3: Does she act? No, she's got she does?
Speaker 2: Oh you bet she took high I'm Kim Kardashian into
Speaker 2: becoming a billionaire.
Speaker 3: I mean that's pretty sharp. But how do I do that?
Speaker 1: I should have videoed my sex.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no kiddings and had a mom who would push
Speaker 5: it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Wow, this has to be fake news. I'm calling foul
Speaker 5: on this. A recent poll shows that a majority of
Speaker 5: Californians say the high speed rail project is still worthy
Speaker 5: of state funnel.
Speaker 3: Oh oh my god. I don't know anybody who says that.
Speaker 5: I know so it's Emerson College and Ka Taylor's parent company,
Speaker 5: Star Media. Fifty four percent asked said the project was
Speaker 5: a good use of state funds, that people were behind it.
Speaker 5: Not everyone's by I'm not the only one, and you
Speaker 5: guys aren't the only ones that think it's fake news.
Speaker 5: Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones said the project is now
Speaker 5: ninety five billion dollars over budget, decades behind schedule, has
Speaker 5: no clear timeline for completion, and this is not showing
Speaker 5: the full picture of the of the poll. I want
Speaker 5: to see the woll well.
Speaker 2: The poll here's what he said, and this one he
Speaker 2: is wrong on this one, and that he criticized the
Speaker 2: sample size of the poll because it was a thousand Californians.
Speaker 3: You know, Nielsen ratings.
Speaker 2: Across how many people watched television in the United States
Speaker 2: is twelve hundred people. That's considered significantly statistically significant. That
Speaker 2: will give you a national average plus or minus three percent.
Speaker 2: So the poll is, the numbers are legitimate. I just
Speaker 2: don't believe that that's what people said.
Speaker 5: And I think did they cherry pick all one thousand people?
Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, that's the other issue. I don't know
Speaker 3: who ran the pole.
Speaker 2: I mean there's Gallop and then there's Fox and or
Speaker 2: there's MSNBC poles.
Speaker 4: Do you really believe that even a thousand people want
Speaker 4: to be able to get to San Francisco quickly?
Speaker 1: Quickly? You know what?
Speaker 3: I know?
Speaker 2: I can see getting on a train and going San Francisco,
Speaker 2: especially it fits a super fast train. Now I have
Speaker 2: a problem paying thirty two hundred dollars each way for it,
Speaker 2: because that's the only way this thing is ever going
Speaker 2: to break even.
Speaker 4: But we have we have urine and poop in the
Speaker 4: street here. Why why take the time to go all
Speaker 4: the way up to San Francisco.
Speaker 2: That's a good point, but it's and and the super
Speaker 2: fast rails and this, by the way, the new plans
Speaker 2: don't incorporate super fast rails all up and down because
Speaker 2: they're still slowing down at the station and you're not
Speaker 2: going to see this two and a half three hour
Speaker 2: train zipping along.
Speaker 1: It's acidine and we should it's.
Speaker 3: It's a boondoggle.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It is a boondoggle. It really is. All right, We're done, guys.
