Speaker 2: Neilsu were.
Speaker 1: He took it down to one hundred and sixty eight
Speaker 1: from one hundred and seventy five. The guy had to
Speaker 1: rebuild the suit. Well, it literally had to tear it
Speaker 1: apart and rebuild it.
Speaker 3: You just had to take in the crutch. They had
Speaker 3: to let my crotch out quite a bit. Yeah, add material,
Speaker 3: it's just different. Plus they had to get it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they had to take a sign that said circus off
Speaker 3: mine and taper.
Speaker 2: It was a joy to see feet idiot. Yeah, we were.
Speaker 1: He turns, he tries on the shirt and it was
Speaker 1: so tight around his neck that we had to keep
Speaker 1: him from going into the bathroom and masturbating.
Speaker 2: Uh, it would be.
Speaker 3: Just autoerotic asphyxiation joke.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, it is the a M.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there going I don't know what he's saying,
Speaker 5: and AND's falling off her chair laughing.
Speaker 2: Well, she worked.
Speaker 3: Because because she worked in FM radio.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, all right, all right, you know what,
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead with handle on the news on
Speaker 1: Monday morning.
Speaker 2: Yes we are, Amy Neil me lead. Sorry, oh man.
Speaker 1: This week again was crazy with Zelensky in the White House.
Speaker 1: I mean insane as to what happened. One of the
Speaker 1: things about Trump. I mean, every day it becomes more
Speaker 1: and more insane. So Zelensky comes to visit him in
Speaker 1: the White House and they do their normal White Oval
Speaker 1: office sit down for photo op kind of thing where
Speaker 1: you shake hands and you sit in front of the
Speaker 1: pirate place in those two chairs, and the press is
Speaker 1: a small room too, and the press goes crazy. They're
Speaker 1: crammed in like sardines, and Trump and Zolensky and Trump
Speaker 1: and Dvance lay into Zelensky. I mean it's never been done.
Speaker 1: I mean they ripped him a new one live national
Speaker 1: television Advance calling him an ingreat. You've not thanked us
Speaker 1: once for all of what we've done for you. By
Speaker 1: the way, Zelensky has not stopped thinking in the United States.
Speaker 1: He didn't during that conversation because frankly, he wasn't able
Speaker 1: to talk. And Trump made it very clear, you don't
Speaker 1: cut a deal that we're going to negotiate with Russia,
Speaker 1: not you, the United States going to go and shaate
Speaker 1: with Russia.
Speaker 2: You don't cut that deal. We're out. You're on your own.
Speaker 2: And Zolensky then goes to.
Speaker 1: Great Britain where he meets with Sermer, the new Prime Minister,
Speaker 1: and Europe is coalescing around Zelensky, and in kind of
Speaker 1: a weird way, I think what Trump is doing is
Speaker 1: helping Europe and I will explain that a little bit
Speaker 1: later when we dive into this thing, because there's a
Speaker 1: lot to this. But man and Zeliza didn't take it.
Speaker 1: I mean he just sat and threw it right back
Speaker 1: at him. Oh and then Trump throws Zelensky out of
Speaker 1: the White House. Literally, he is asked to leave. Goodbye,
Speaker 1: You're out of here. Get the hell out of dodge.
Speaker 1: It's never happened before.
Speaker 3: It was also crazy that Vance was like, I'm not
Speaker 3: touching you, touching you, I'm not touching you. And then
Speaker 3: and then Trump was like, oh, you got something on
Speaker 3: your shirt and we looked down. He flicked him in
Speaker 3: the nose and I think they gave him a wedgie
Speaker 3: and a swirly and it was pretty I.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have been surprised. I would not have been surprised,
Speaker 1: all right. Uh.
Speaker 5: Piling on against Zelenski, House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that
Speaker 5: President Zelensky may need to resign to save the Russia
Speaker 5: Ukraine peace process. He said, something has to change. Either
Speaker 5: Zelensky needs to come to his senses and come back
Speaker 5: to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs to
Speaker 5: lead the country. Lindsey Graham also suggested that Violensky might
Speaker 5: need to resign after the uh, the verbal brawl.
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, before he became speaker and before Trump became president,
Speaker 1: was one of the most vocal advocates of Ukraine and
Speaker 1: the US boat backing up Ukraine that there existed in Congress. Oops,
Speaker 1: there's one hundred and eighty degree spin and there's a
Speaker 1: little you know, a few people out there saying, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, the United States is actually telling Ukraine to
Speaker 1: get a new leader. We'll tell you who you who
Speaker 1: should not be your president. Okay, it's getting I mean
Speaker 1: it just surreal, is what's happening. I mean surreal. It's
Speaker 1: completely insane. All Right, we'll be talking more about that.
Speaker 1: I'm still spinning for what happened. From what happened, I
Speaker 1: really am.
Speaker 2: All right, moving on all right.
Speaker 3: Yesterday Israel said that it had stopped all AID from
Speaker 3: entering the Gaza Strip. Big move here, move that threatened
Speaker 3: to plunge the whole territory back into wars Israel. Israeli
Speaker 3: rather officials accused Tomas of rejecting a US proposal. This
Speaker 3: was simply at this point to extend the first phase
Speaker 3: of a week's long cease fire. So they were talking about,
Speaker 3: you know, phase two, and they never really got off
Speaker 3: the ground. Israel and the United States floated kind of
Speaker 3: a last minute proposal to extend the initial phase through Ramadan,
Speaker 3: which of course lasts a month, and then the Jewish
Speaker 3: holiday of Passover from April twelfth to April twentieth, and
Speaker 3: that didn't seem to fly, so very very shaky ground.
Speaker 2: Camas said no to that.
Speaker 1: Kamas said, we're going to continue on the way we
Speaker 1: agreed to originally. And they never, as you said, they
Speaker 1: never got off the ground with Phase two and Netta
Speaker 1: Yahu and the war cabinet and literally you have to
Speaker 1: call it a war cabinet. I think they're dead set
Speaker 1: on continuing this war, I truly do, and for political
Speaker 1: reasons too. Neta Yahu is kind of a slimeball himself,
Speaker 1: and that is he as long as the war continues,
Speaker 1: he stays in power. The second piece has been established
Speaker 1: between Hamas and Israel, his government falls.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens over the next few days.
Speaker 5: Let's go to the movies and see something that's not
Speaker 5: nominated for anything, because the things that one I don't
Speaker 5: think anybody saw. Honora was the big winner at the
Speaker 5: Oscars last night. Took home five awards, including Best Picture
Speaker 5: and Best Director, also Best Actress for Mikey Madison. Amelia
Speaker 5: Perez had the most nominations, thirteen of them. It won
Speaker 5: two awards. Wicked and The Brutalist had ten nominations. Wicked
Speaker 5: won two. The Brutalist won three, including Best Actor for
Speaker 5: Adrian Brody.
Speaker 1: Hey, I have a question this to ann and do
Speaker 1: we want to do a segment on this. I know
Speaker 1: normally you don't do a segment on the Oscars, mainly
Speaker 1: because yeah, you're.
Speaker 2: Ready for this.
Speaker 1: I watch what I do is I video or I
Speaker 1: record programs, football games, et cetera. And then I started
Speaker 1: about an hour in to blow through the commercials. Although
Speaker 1: the Rolex commercials were phenomenal.
Speaker 5: A were good.
Speaker 1: Were Yeah, they were excellent, I mean just superb. And
Speaker 1: so what I did is I recorded, uh, and I
Speaker 1: was playing it back, and I my recording ended before
Speaker 1: Best Picture, before Best Director, before Best Actor, before Best Actress.
Speaker 1: So I was a you know, I had no idea
Speaker 1: until this morning, and I you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna throw it to you. Is this Is
Speaker 1: it important enough last night the Oscars that we do
Speaker 1: a segment on it?
Speaker 2: Sure? Angle, Yeah, I know I watched it. If I
Speaker 2: watched it a lot of people. By the way, how
Speaker 2: many people? How many people did watch it? Do they
Speaker 2: have the numbers?
Speaker 4: I don't know yet, we don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: I thought the show was good overall, all right, just yeah,
Speaker 5: it's just hard when most people haven't seen the movies,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it this year.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the only the only movie that I
Speaker 1: actually saw was Wicked. And I am still spinning about
Speaker 1: how much money I spent because I spent thirty dollars of.
Speaker 2: It, uh to see it on cable.
Speaker 1: It was with Netflix because I wanted to see it
Speaker 1: because of the hype and then three minutes later it
Speaker 1: was free on Netflix.
Speaker 5: Wait, it's not free on Netflix.
Speaker 2: It's free someplace, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Oh, I gotta go get it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Okay, Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: didn't see the movies. I start Wicked and I thought
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 5: There's one that was nominated that I literally had not
Speaker 5: heard of. It's called I'm Still Here.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: How about you know Elvi Elvira? You know that what
Speaker 1: was you know, the one that won all of them?
Speaker 1: You know, the the vampire Lady? Yeah, whatever, I have
Speaker 1: no idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anora the Mistress stuff the dark Wow, all right.
Speaker 5: Honora was like a dirtier, darker pretty woman basically. Oh
Speaker 5: that's my explanation.
Speaker 3: For the Rolex commercials. Were they specific to la tired
Speaker 3: of not being robbed? I want to know who's in
Speaker 3: the front of your house when you walk out.
Speaker 1: No, it's actually they were actually really well done. All right,
Speaker 1: there's two one more and then we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Last night, ten thirteen pm, A big jolt. It's like
Speaker 3: somebody picked up and shook the house. Three point nine
Speaker 3: magnitude earthquake hits North Hollywood area. Shaking felt across a
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: I hit to X.
Speaker 3: I went straight to X and a lot of people
Speaker 3: felt it in different areas. But it was kind of
Speaker 3: a whip and a shake.
Speaker 4: It was rolling. Oh absolutely, woke me up. I was
Speaker 4: already in bed.
Speaker 2: I didn't, but then I'm out in Orange. It was
Speaker 2: a good did you feel it?
Speaker 5: I did not feel that.
Speaker 1: Three point nine. Three point nine is a pretty good shake.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not gonna be any property damage or anything.
Speaker 4: Super felt like something hit the house. It was one
Speaker 4: of those. It wasn't like a rolling or anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And did you hear it? Feel it? I sure did.
Speaker 2: And I hear my husband scream upstairs, okay, up there
Speaker 2: and Cono. Did you feel it? Yeah? And will did
Speaker 2: you hear it? Will feel it? I did feel it
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, all right, fair enough, all right,
Speaker 2: let's take a break.
Speaker 4: It's not the first time you've asked that question, is it.
Speaker 2: Did you feel it? Uh? No, No, And it's usually
Speaker 2: and the answer is usually no. Uh.
Speaker 5: Get your measles shots, kids, That's the word from RFK Junior.
Speaker 5: Last week, he said that the outbreak of measles in
Speaker 5: Texas was not that unusual, And then a couple of
Speaker 5: days later he said, you know what, this is having
Speaker 5: a serious impact and ending the measles outbreak is a
Speaker 5: top priority for me and my extraordinary team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1: And look at what happened in Samoa. Uh, actually paying
Speaker 1: attention to what Kennedy had said when he was trotting
Speaker 1: out there saying vaccinations were horrible, all about you, vaccines
Speaker 1: will kill you kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Samoa paid attention, and they had a measles out break.
Speaker 1: Dozens of people died and so many people were hospitalized.
Speaker 1: And so it's not unusual, as he said, breaking out
Speaker 1: in song at that cabinet meeting in at first cabinet meeting. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the first American death in ten years and the blow
Speaker 1: up in the number of cases more so than in
Speaker 1: fifty years, that's not unusual.
Speaker 2: Now, well, reality has hit yep.
Speaker 1: The only way that can who can get away with
Speaker 1: Look outside, it's the sun is shining when it's actually raining.
Speaker 1: Is Trump? No one else can do that. Kennedy can't
Speaker 1: say it's not unusual. Life is terrific as people are
Speaker 1: dying around him.
Speaker 3: Let's move on weather caused issues, on to Penga Canyon Boulevard.
Speaker 3: This poor road always takes it in the shorts. They're
Speaker 3: going to keep the road closed for an unspecified amount
Speaker 3: of time in the Santa Monica Mountains there. This comes
Speaker 3: from Caltrans, and you know it's often just it's damaged
Speaker 3: and closed. It's got structural repairs goinging on now. Clean
Speaker 3: up going on now because of recent rains caused washouts
Speaker 3: along the road, and the work is in addition to
Speaker 3: the repairs that were needed after the Palisades fire towards
Speaker 3: the area. So it continues to be shut indefinitely.
Speaker 1: This Yeah, who wants to live Well, a lot of
Speaker 1: people do, because you've got homes, of course on the
Speaker 1: other side of the road closure, on the north side
Speaker 1: of the road closure where it's multi zillion dollar homes.
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why prices have not collapsed up there, truly.
Speaker 2: People still want to live up there. To be open
Speaker 2: again all the way.
Speaker 3: Well, I would imagine at some point, well, yeah.
Speaker 5: Must it's making more people mad. He was on with
Speaker 5: Joe Rogan on Friday and criticized Social Security, basically calling
Speaker 5: it not even basically he called it a Ponzi scheme.
Speaker 5: He said that the US better fix its entitlement systems
Speaker 5: because birth rates are falling and post retirement life expectancy
Speaker 5: is going up. He of course, the remarks are concerned
Speaker 5: about whether he's going to try to dismantle key Social
Speaker 5: Security benefits. Trump has repeatedly said he's not touching social
Speaker 5: Security benefits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a word about that.
Speaker 1: And that is as much as I think Elon Musk
Speaker 1: is completely out of his mind, he is absolutely right
Speaker 1: about social security being of course, it's the ponds, the
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right, you pay in the money, You
Speaker 1: use the money that people are paying in to pay
Speaker 1: the beneficiaries. And the only way it keeps on working
Speaker 1: is that if there's enough money coming in to pay off
Speaker 1: the people that are getting the benefits, and those people
Speaker 1: the money coming in from those people, those people are
Speaker 1: dropping in numbers dropping, dropping, dropping, and they're running out
Speaker 1: of money, and so at Ponzi scheme always runs out
Speaker 1: of money. And that is he's absolutely right, and you
Speaker 1: know it's they've run out of money before. All they
Speaker 1: do is increase taxes are so security that's all that's
Speaker 1: all you can do.
Speaker 2: And now you can't kill anybody to go ahead.
Speaker 4: Similar to insurance.
Speaker 3: The problem that insurance is having because you need people
Speaker 3: to keep paying in to be able to pay out.
Speaker 1: But that's the concept. I know it's but that's a
Speaker 1: concept of insurance. It sort of is. But so security
Speaker 1: is a genuine Ponzi scheme. And it was originally well
Speaker 1: when it was started, what nineteen thirty four, nineteen thirty five,
Speaker 1: when people retired, they died at sixty six after retiring
Speaker 1: at sixty five. My mother died at ninety eight. She
Speaker 1: got so security for forty years. No, yeah, five years,
Speaker 1: you got social Security. I mean, he's just completely crazy
Speaker 1: and so but no one can touch it. No one
Speaker 1: can touch social Security. It's the third rail. If a politician,
Speaker 1: if Elon Musk were to run for office based on
Speaker 1: what he said, he wouldn't get three votes.
Speaker 2: He would get mine.
Speaker 1: Because I have always said social Security is and there's no.
Speaker 1: It's not a fund either. It's not like money in
Speaker 1: the bank. Social Security fund the highway trust fund for example,
Speaker 1: that builds highways across the country. That's real money. It's
Speaker 1: a high it's a trust fund that has money in it.
Speaker 1: So Security doesn't have a time in it.
Speaker 4: How does that happen?
Speaker 1: Because so security was designed with enough workers and people
Speaker 1: dying early enough that it would maintain itself.
Speaker 2: Well, now you.
Speaker 4: Have one for one. I mean I'm putting money into it.
Speaker 1: No, because how much you think you okay one for one,
Speaker 1: how much you think you are how much you think
Speaker 1: you're paying.
Speaker 2: Social Security taxes?
Speaker 4: More than I'd like to understood?
Speaker 2: But what are you paying?
Speaker 1: A couple thousand dollars maybe three four thousand dollars? How
Speaker 1: does how does someone live on three thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: year that's on so security? You can't be one for one.
Speaker 1: I think what has started. It was six for one
Speaker 1: or eight for one. Now it's two point now it's
Speaker 1: two for one.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. The whole thing is Nut's all right.
Speaker 3: US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said just yesterday with the
Speaker 3: tariffs on Canada and Mexico that we've been hearing about
Speaker 3: will go into effect on Tuesday. However, President Donald Trump
Speaker 3: will determine whether to stick to the plan twenty five
Speaker 3: percent level or if it'll move. It's said that it
Speaker 3: is a fluid situation and we'll see what he ends
Speaker 3: up with as far as percentage or numbers there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no one knows. No one knows, but I
Speaker 1: tell you it's working. The you know, Mexico and Canada,
Speaker 1: I have both come to the table. They're already doing
Speaker 1: exactly what Trump wants them to do. And there's an
Speaker 1: argument saying, okay, you know, so then why is.
Speaker 5: He still going to slap the tariffs on him if
Speaker 5: he's doing if they're doing because because.
Speaker 1: They're not, because they're not doing enough. He said, they've
Speaker 1: made some movement towards where they should be going. So
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see less in terms of tariffs,
Speaker 1: but the threat of more will always be there. It's working,
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the art of the deal.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you it's working.
Speaker 5: Well, somebody's not talking to somebody else. According to city
Speaker 5: records and officials, the fire department discovered that there was
Speaker 5: damage to more than a thousand fire hydrants they needed repairs,
Speaker 5: and that was discovered back in August. But then apparently
Speaker 5: they didn't tell DWP that there was damage to fire
Speaker 5: hydrants and they needed to be repaired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be a little controversial. When this
Speaker 2: thing broke.
Speaker 1: Do you remember what we said instead of let's not
Speaker 1: judge right now, we have to investigate. Well they are
Speaker 1: and they're finding out there was a lot of wrong.
Speaker 2: Versus a lot of right. You know, there was a
Speaker 2: lot of right.
Speaker 1: But you know there's some screw ups here and some
Speaker 1: heads will probably roll, is my guess. Well, already you
Speaker 1: had the chief of the fire department, Crowley, who was fired.
Speaker 4: O yeah oo.
Speaker 3: The original pantry that I love and have been too
Speaker 3: many many times, that cafe on the corner of Ninth
Speaker 3: and Figueroa Streets downtown served its classic American breakfast back
Speaker 3: in nineteen twenty four, two years after CAFI started. Loyal
Speaker 3: multi generational base of regulars, and it has seen its
Speaker 3: last day at this point yesterday.
Speaker 4: So for really, what's a bazillion times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, it's great, and they there's demon's strations
Speaker 1: going on. The workers are insisting they stay working, and
Speaker 1: it's just they.
Speaker 2: Will tell you how.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you owners of the restaurant when and how
Speaker 1: and how long.
Speaker 2: It should be kept open, will make that decision.
Speaker 3: You know. It has lines all the time. But and
Speaker 3: one of the things I love is at the place
Speaker 3: where you pay, the little counter you pay it is worn.
Speaker 3: It is worn down through the Linoleum because so many
Speaker 3: people have been.
Speaker 2: There there it's actually very fine.
Speaker 3: And then it's not because it's never turned to profit
Speaker 3: it really will or or.
