Speaker 2: side you're on, but just exhausted. You've ever seen a
Speaker 2: more exhausting presidential I haven't.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is Halloween, so I thought we would Hey, guys,
Speaker 2: I thought we'd all dress up because this is radio
Speaker 2: and no one can actually see us, So why don't
Speaker 2: we do this, Why do we not dress up and
Speaker 2: just describe our costumes that we're not wearing, and then
Speaker 2: we'll have a costume party and whoever does the best
Speaker 2: job of describing a costume that he or she is
Speaker 2: not wearing gets a fictional prize.
Speaker 3: There's a lot you can do with radio. You know that,
Speaker 3: don't you. Good morning Easy.
Speaker 4: I go dressed as no George Clooney each year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it works, right, Everybody instantly recognizes you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just put on the jacket.
Speaker 5: In all seriousness. Though, a few years ago, Neil went
Speaker 5: as Guy Fieri, the guy from All Food Network. It
Speaker 5: was freaky. I thought Guy Fieri was at our event.
Speaker 3: Neil is very good at this stuff. He really is
Speaker 3: a me.
Speaker 2: He is really good, you know, as a kid, and
Speaker 2: we used to do this and I'll well, let me
Speaker 2: say hello, kno, hello and hello okay, uh yeah, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: I done that. Now, back to costumes as a kid.
Speaker 2: A lot of the time, when I was a youngster
Speaker 2: and others, you dress up as as a woman, you
Speaker 2: borrow some of your mom's clothes and that would be
Speaker 2: your costume. That would just consider just one of those costumes.
Speaker 2: Today you try that.
Speaker 3: Really, I didn't know you felt that way.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 6: You put on your mom's clothes and your protected class.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 4: A different situation.
Speaker 2: That's true. You put on your dad's clothes. I didn't
Speaker 2: know you felt that way. You put on your AD's
Speaker 2: close the police come out and immediately arrest him.
Speaker 3: There's a lot you can't do anymore.
Speaker 6: You remember when I dressed up as you a bazillion
Speaker 6: years ago.
Speaker 4: I think I was really new.
Speaker 3: And you wore a fat suit, didn't you.
Speaker 4: Yes, I did. That's back when when.
Speaker 2: It's true you were big and I did he did, Remember, well,
Speaker 2: I weighed over. I weighed over three hundred pounds. You've
Speaker 2: heard me do the commercials, and it.
Speaker 6: Is finding that picture. And I had a handful of
Speaker 6: dollar bills. And the funny thing was, I remember rich
Speaker 6: Verada and everybody died because the shirt I chose to
Speaker 6: wear was almost identical to the one.
Speaker 4: You were actually wearing that day.
Speaker 3: That's serenific.
Speaker 6: Find that it was so long ago. I think I
Speaker 6: had a polaroid of it.
Speaker 3: Oh god, that is so funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then there's we shild God, I wish we
Speaker 2: had kept archives. Remember the Beijing Olympics with that little
Speaker 2: girl with the page boy haircut in the red red
Speaker 2: dress saying the Chinese national anthem.
Speaker 3: Well there was.
Speaker 2: We used to do events every year, which are an
Speaker 2: enormous amount of work, and we don't do them anymore.
Speaker 2: But you'd have these extravaganzas where the morning show would
Speaker 2: put on a show. Literally, we would put on a show,
Speaker 2: and it was great fun. It was singing, it was
Speaker 2: parody songs, it was people coming up well the year
Speaker 2: right after the Olympics, I come out on stage in
Speaker 2: a red dress with a page boy wig, and I'm
Speaker 2: lip syncing the Chinese national anthem. I remember, And I
Speaker 2: think Savil still has that picture my best friend's album.
Speaker 4: Do you I must?
Speaker 3: I must?
Speaker 2: You know, over the years we have had such a
Speaker 2: good time doing all the crazy stuff, and you can't
Speaker 2: do any of it today because of political correctness, because
Speaker 2: it was all insanely politically incorrect. I mean on just levels,
Speaker 2: on pon levels upon levels. Uh, you just can't do it,
Speaker 2: all right, guys, let's do it. On a Wednesday, October thirtieth,
Speaker 2: handle on the news, Amy Neil and Me lead story,
Speaker 2: Governor wissam unveils a new round of state funding bringing
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty million dollars just to the LA
Speaker 2: region for homeless housing and shelter and rental assistance, outreach prevention.
Speaker 2: And it's part of eight hundred million dollars that is
Speaker 2: being handed out by the state. Now, this is not
Speaker 2: county money, this is not city money, this is not
Speaker 2: federal money.
Speaker 3: And as I said, the only way.
Speaker 2: We're going to actually beat this homeless issue is throwing
Speaker 2: craploads of money at it every year and increasing it,
Speaker 2: increasing it and is it working. Well, i'll tell you
Speaker 2: more about that at seven am, and I'll give you
Speaker 2: some stats on that.
Speaker 4: Spoken like a stinking.
Speaker 2: Liberal, Yeah that's true, that's not true. That's not true.
Speaker 2: I said, this is what it's going to cost, and
Speaker 2: is it working, And I'm going to give you stats
Speaker 2: on this.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make a value judgment. I never
Speaker 2: have made a value judgment. Everybody wants homelessness off the streets.
Speaker 2: Nobody wakes up.
Speaker 3: In the morning said oh boy, let's make more people.
Speaker 4: It's not difficult.
Speaker 6: Take care of the drug users and the people that
Speaker 6: have and then the rest.
Speaker 3: Of the people, and then there won't be homeless left.
Speaker 4: Yep, we'll be fine.
Speaker 2: Okay you start Yeah, okay, you're sounding like Donald Trump
Speaker 2: with the abortion issue. How did all women will be fine,
Speaker 2: They'll be happy, They'll be terrific.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, Now I'm not saying you are.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I'm just saying, you know, that's you know,
Speaker 2: reality actually hits. Okay, you know, I've got to stop
Speaker 2: doing this thing and throwing Republicans under the bus at
Speaker 2: every moment because I'm so pissed.
Speaker 3: Off at them.
Speaker 2: You know why I'm not pissed off at liberals because
Speaker 2: I know who they are.
Speaker 3: They haven't changed their stripes.
Speaker 2: I know they want to spend every month, every dime
Speaker 2: I will ever have in my life. So there's you know,
Speaker 2: I know the agenda and everybody knows it. So there's
Speaker 2: really no drama with that agenda. All right, let's do
Speaker 2: one more and.
Speaker 3: Remember seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about the Newsome program one more
Speaker 2: for we take a break.
Speaker 5: Amy, one of the Republicans battle cries isn't really a
Speaker 5: thing anymore. Apparently, gas prices, which is one of the
Speaker 5: metrics a lot of people use to gauge how well
Speaker 5: they're doing and how the economy is doing, are falling
Speaker 5: fast just as people get ready to head to the
Speaker 5: polls or have already headed to the polls. Yeah, gas
Speaker 5: is cheaper in battleground states like Nevada and Arizona than
Speaker 5: it was a year ago, and for the first time
Speaker 5: since twenty twenty one, the national average is right about
Speaker 5: three dollars a gallon. Of course it's a lot more here,
Speaker 5: but nationally it's about three dollars a gallon.
Speaker 2: So the Republican are pulling the ads talking about gas prices.
Speaker 2: So that one is one tier that's been knocked out.
Speaker 2: But the look at how much money you are spending
Speaker 2: now versus before prior to the Biden administration. The Democrats
Speaker 2: can't get around that one. That they'll never be able
Speaker 2: to get around. It's just so this is just one tier,
Speaker 2: and it's good news, I guess not for us. What
Speaker 2: are we still at thirteen dollars a gallon or fifteen
Speaker 2: dollars a gallon? I have no idea. I have an
Speaker 2: electric car, so I don't pay attention anymore.
Speaker 3: So you don't care, No, I don't care. Welcome to California.
Speaker 2: You know, as a matter of fact, when I see
Speaker 2: the gas prices tick up.
Speaker 3: Not on the pennies level, but on the dollars level.
Speaker 2: As I see them tick up, I even feel better
Speaker 2: knowing that you guys are spending a fortune on gas.
Speaker 6: Just wait till everybody has EVS and then they crank
Speaker 6: up the cost of electricity.
Speaker 2: I know, then I go back to gas cars fuel.
Speaker 6: War sucks, man, it just sucks. Israeli strike kills dozens
Speaker 6: in North Gaza, you a residential block, and of course
Speaker 6: we here in the US refer to the incident as horrifying.
Speaker 6: Medics said at least twenty children were among the dead.
Speaker 6: You're looking at about ninety three Palestinians that were killed
Speaker 6: or missing, dozens wounded in this Israeli strike, and the
Speaker 6: number of the victims still under the rubble obviously, and roads,
Speaker 6: ambulance and civil defense crews can't even reach them at
Speaker 6: this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to kill Israel, this sort of thing,
Speaker 2: and this is where Hamas is winning and will win
Speaker 2: the pr battle and maybe eventually.
Speaker 3: The war, because the world is reeling.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're becoming more and more anti Israel, and
Speaker 2: you've got Netanyahu and his war cabinet and his war government,
Speaker 2: and they're just going for it. And now you have
Speaker 2: what forty three th people that have been killed in Gaza,
Speaker 2: which maybe a third of them are militants so they
Speaker 2: don't count, but the rest are civilians and kids and
Speaker 2: older people. And the world's going to turn. It's starting
Speaker 2: to turn. It's like us the analogy apartheid in South Africa.
Speaker 2: It took almost a generation, but the world turned against
Speaker 2: South Africa and it became a pariah state just because
Speaker 2: of that. And I see Israel moving in that direction.
Speaker 4: And all you're doing is making an argument for new.
Speaker 3: Terrorists.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're growing.
Speaker 6: The people growing up in this war are going to say, yeah,
Speaker 6: they're Israel is evil and this is why we need
Speaker 6: to keep.
Speaker 3: But they're already it's already baked in.
Speaker 2: These kids grow up, they're born in the refugee camps
Speaker 2: like in Janine.
Speaker 6: There it's but if they were treated well, if they
Speaker 6: were moved out, if they were if there were then
Speaker 6: maybe you might say one.
Speaker 3: It'll be it'll be generational.
Speaker 2: And it's it's just the politics are way too complicated,
Speaker 2: and it's just in the end, Israel is going to lose.
Speaker 2: The big war on this one, and it's going to
Speaker 2: be at the cost of Hamas is going to basically
Speaker 2: going to pay the cost of all the infrastructure in
Speaker 2: Gaza and huge numbers of people dying.
Speaker 3: As if already they have it all right, let's move on.
Speaker 5: Kamala makes their case. The Vice President went to the
Speaker 5: Ellipse in Washington, d C. Last night and warned Americans
Speaker 5: that former President Trump would open up a floodgate of
Speaker 5: vengeance against his political rivals. She said, one day, if elected,
Speaker 5: Donald Trump would walk into that office pointed to the
Speaker 5: White House with an enemy's list. When elected, I will
Speaker 5: walk in with a to do list full of priorities
Speaker 5: on what I will get done for the American people.
Speaker 3: Kel it's as if she's reading off a teleprompter. Every
Speaker 3: single time she opens her mouth. It's absolutely the same rhetoric.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give Donald Trump some kudos.
Speaker 2: He while he has a prompter in front of him,
Speaker 2: he goes off script all the time.
Speaker 3: He'll go for three.
Speaker 2: Hours and he says some really interesting things. I mean
Speaker 2: a little bombastic. You know the world's gonna fall apart.
Speaker 2: The atomic bomb is going to land on the White House. Yeah,
Speaker 2: on your house. You know, the Haitians are going to
Speaker 2: serve you up dogs and cats for dinner.
Speaker 3: Yeah. God, it all.
Speaker 2: But at least he isn't scripted every single minute.
Speaker 4: And she's better that way.
Speaker 6: Though she's not a super smart person, I don't think.
Speaker 2: And well, yeah, if I've talked to people that have
Speaker 2: covered her for years, newspeople and they say she is not.
Speaker 4: All that smart, yeah, I don't get that.
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying she's a bad person, and I'm
Speaker 6: not saying that with the right cabinet she can't do
Speaker 6: good things. Thank God, it doesn't rest on the shoulders
Speaker 6: of one person. But I think she's better this way.
Speaker 6: It makes people she's worse, she's worse salable this way.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think it's easier for people to vote for her
Speaker 6: if she just keeps it.
Speaker 4: Simple, all right, keep it simple? Uh, Biden? Is this
Speaker 4: me or you?
Speaker 3: Amy?
Speaker 4: Biden sets off a firestorm.
Speaker 6: Geez, the word garbage is now on the top of
Speaker 6: the list of don't say so. He responds to Trump
Speaker 6: rally comedian Tony Hinchcliff, which I had never heard of before,
Speaker 6: referring to Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage.
Speaker 4: What a genius statement there.
Speaker 6: And uh, then you get Biden saying they're good, decent,
Speaker 6: honorable people referring to the Puerto Rican community. The only
Speaker 6: garbage I see floating out there is his supporter is
Speaker 6: referring to Trump. Yeah, his humanization of Latinos is unconstable
Speaker 6: and it's Unamerican.
Speaker 3: This is this is a problem. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: going to be used big time by the Republicans. This
Speaker 3: reminds me.
Speaker 2: This reminds me of Hillary when she said the people
Speaker 2: that voted that would vote for Trump are the deplorables.
Speaker 2: Remember that one. Yeah, this was so stupid on Biden's part.
Speaker 2: You cannot talk about voters in this way. Even if
Speaker 2: voters are dead set against you and are just even
Speaker 2: the anarchists, Well, maybe those people are garbage, but you
Speaker 2: can't say anything other than they're misguided.
Speaker 3: Trump is garbage. You can say that, but you can't say.
Speaker 2: The voters are misspoke and they pulled it and they oh,
Speaker 2: they tried to backpedal. They understood immediately that was a
Speaker 2: stupid thing to say. Also, a word about Tony Hinchcliffe.
Speaker 2: Tony Hinchcliff, no one.
Speaker 3: Ever heard of him.
Speaker 2: His career has fallen off the hinchcliff and I mean
Speaker 2: that his pr people I've bailed out. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you look at what's happening in social media, he is
Speaker 2: being nailed.
Speaker 3: He's in hiding. You can't come out in public anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was it was not smart.
Speaker 6: I mean, you gotta George Lopez was at a Kamala
Speaker 6: Harris event and made a joke about, you know, Latino's
Speaker 6: stealing or Mexican stealing or something like that. He can
Speaker 6: get away with it as a Latino, he can do
Speaker 6: that thing. But here you get this white guy. It
Speaker 6: looks like what people will assume a traditional Republican looks like.
Speaker 6: And he said some ugly things, and it's I don't
Speaker 6: know why they go. I don't know why they go
Speaker 6: with comedians at a serious event because it always lighten
Speaker 6: it up.
Speaker 2: Because you have a five hour, five hour rally at
Speaker 2: the end of which the candidate shows up, and you know,
Speaker 2: you got to keep people interested, You have to keep
Speaker 2: people a lot. Do you do it with comedians? You laugh,
Speaker 2: you joke, you have a good time. The balloon animals
Speaker 2: come out.
Speaker 4: That's what they should benign the mime.
Speaker 5: Yeah, being held accountable for the hammer attack. The man
Speaker 5: who was already sentenced to thirty years in federal prison
Speaker 5: for attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer, was sentenced
Speaker 5: yesterday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Speaker 5: That was following a separate state trial. The San Francisco
Speaker 5: jury in June found David Depap guilty of charges including
Speaker 5: aggravated kidnapping, first degree burglary, and false imprisonment of an elder.
Speaker 3: And by the way, he's not crazy at all.
Speaker 2: His defense attorney says his mental health and isolation made
Speaker 2: him susceptible to online propaganda conspiracy theorists, and the attorney says,
Speaker 2: this is a man who has always been a peaceful,
Speaker 2: law abiding person up until his activation, whatever the hell
Speaker 2: that means, I guess taking a hammer to pelosi husband's head.
Speaker 2: And then so he's giving a statement to the court
Speaker 2: just before sentencing, and he talks about September eleventh being
Speaker 2: an inside job, his ex wife replaced by a body double,
Speaker 2: a double government provided attorneys are conspiring against him. And
Speaker 2: as he's led off or before sentence, he goes, I'm
Speaker 2: a psychic. The more I mediate or more I meditate,
Speaker 2: the more psychic I get thank you.
Speaker 5: Okay, Bill, I have a question for you about this guy.
Speaker 3: Yes, so he's.
Speaker 5: Got life in prison, no chance for parole.
Speaker 3: Correct, he didn't kill anybody?
Speaker 5: Right, We have murderers who get out after ten or
Speaker 5: fifteen years, yep, Convicted confessed murderers who get out after lest.
Speaker 2: Happened happens all the time, depending on the quality of
Speaker 2: the attorney, depending on the prosecutor, depending on the judge,
Speaker 2: depending on.
Speaker 3: Whether they plea or not.
Speaker 2: And so it's all of these factors, and you're right,
Speaker 2: there are Well, how about this, there are people guys
Speaker 2: in brank robberies where a teller is shot and killed.
Speaker 3: The guy who pulls the true trigger and.
Speaker 2: Gets life imprisonment without the possibility to parl and the
Speaker 2: guy who doesn't pull the trigger gets the death penalty.
Speaker 3: That has happened before.
Speaker 4: Really, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Kidnapping used to By the way, kidnapping used to be
Speaker 2: death penalty in California.
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that with no one hurt.
Speaker 6: Well, did they say if he was activated by Peter
Speaker 6: Paul and Mary Song or.
Speaker 3: You know? I wish I could get that, but I don't, So.
Speaker 4: You have to explain I had a hammer.
Speaker 2: Ah, Okay, is that Peter Paula Marry Or is that uh.
Speaker 3: That's Pete Seeger. Isn't it is he who wrote it?
Speaker 3: Or what you are? Woody Guthrie? Didn't he write it?
Speaker 4: I need a better audience.
Speaker 2: You can look that up. I think it's Woody got three? Okay,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 6: Right. Pentagon is running low on air defense because we,
Speaker 6: you know, giving them to everybody else like Israel. Yeah,
Speaker 6: interceptors are the big name right now. They're fast becoming
Speaker 6: the most sought after ordinance. And you've got wide widening
Speaker 6: crisis in the Middle East with Israel and the like,
Speaker 6: so we are thinning out.
Speaker 3: Are good?
Speaker 5: Do we use those for intercepting? Like when the houthies
Speaker 5: fire at us when we're in the Red Sea and
Speaker 5: stuff too?
Speaker 4: No one call the interceptors?
Speaker 2: I think the interceptor of bases they do. But yeah,
Speaker 2: and what Israel uses them for the most part. I mean,
Speaker 2: and now's a good time to invest in the companies
Speaker 2: and manufacture these because they're obviously running twenty four to
Speaker 2: seven and there are no sales. You're not going to
Speaker 2: see a Prime day sale or Thanksgiving Day sail on.
Speaker 4: Everything must go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, everything does go Saturday, Yeah, it does go.
Speaker 3: And it's uh yeah, it's getting crazy out there.
Speaker 2: And if Israel does go to war, war, it's going
Speaker 2: to be crazy.
Speaker 3: We're not going to have any supplies left.
Speaker 2: It's good time to invade the United States after Israel
Speaker 2: gets all of our arms.
Speaker 6: No, because we all got ourselves armed here in the
Speaker 6: easy United States.
Speaker 5: Son USA Today says it's not taken sides. USA Today
Speaker 5: has announced it too, is choosing not to endorse any
Speaker 5: candidate in the twenty twenty four presidential race. Spokesperson says
Speaker 5: local editors at publications across the USA Today network they
Speaker 5: have like two hundred publications, have the discretion to endorse
Speaker 5: at a state or local level. They said, they believe
Speaker 5: America's future is decided locally, one race at a time,
Speaker 5: and it is our public service to provide readers with
Speaker 5: the facts that matter and the trusted information they need
Speaker 5: to make an informed decision. And said blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and La Times in the Washington Post said that
Speaker 2: basically the same thing. But there's no problem endorsing all
Speaker 2: the races down line and the propositions that they'll endorse.
Speaker 4: You know what, fact check. How about that?
Speaker 6: Put up the information fact check, give the facts and
Speaker 6: we do that.
Speaker 3: What No, they do that a lot.
Speaker 6: But I think that is what's helpful from a newspaper.
Speaker 6: I don't need them telling me who to vote for.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I talked about that yesterday in terms of you have
Speaker 2: to look at it and this was an article that
Speaker 2: was written in the Atlantic by a guy who was
Speaker 2: on the editorial board of the La Times. You have
Speaker 2: to look at it. As a closing argument in a trial.
Speaker 2: The attorney puts it all together, puts the pieces together,
Speaker 2: and just draws the picture, which we don't do because
Speaker 2: we look at it in bits and pieces.
Speaker 6: Let's move on, because we've got we've got stories. Oh boy,
Speaker 6: another class action lawsuit. This one is with subway sandwiches
Speaker 6: containing less meat than advertised. So Anna Tolsan of Queen's
Speaker 6: found her and her name sounds familiar like she's been
Speaker 6: on one of these before, but I'm not sure she
Speaker 6: found herself a she's a plane and found herself an attorney.
Speaker 4: Of course, were difficult.
Speaker 6: She bought a steak and cheese sandwich at a local
Speaker 6: subway for seven sixty one. She claimed that when she
Speaker 6: opened the sandwich she found carry the one two hundred
Speaker 6: percent less meat than she saw advertised. And of course
Speaker 6: these types of cases have gone on against McDonald's, Wendy's,
Speaker 6: Taco Bell and all these.
Speaker 2: Different percent When you have two hundred percent less meat
Speaker 2: at one hundred percent, there's no meat, right right?
Speaker 4: Okay, she she's not good at math. But i'd like,
Speaker 4: you know what I'd like to see.
Speaker 6: I'd like to see what picture Anna uses on Facebook
Speaker 6: and social media and in person.
Speaker 3: It's a class action and it may fly.
Speaker 2: If it flies, there gonna be some heavy duty attorneys
Speaker 2: fees here. But I just can't wait for the next
Speaker 2: lawsuit again again subway right not in No meat, no cheese,
Speaker 2: no vegetables, no dressing. The only thing left are the onions,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna diey Coli.
Speaker 6: Well, I will tell you that legally, when they do
Speaker 6: the they have the people who god, I can't remember
Speaker 6: what they call them, but they make the food look
Speaker 6: good on camera, they're legally not They're supposed to use
Speaker 6: every single ingredient exactly. They can make it look prettier,
Speaker 6: but it has to be the exact same weight and
Speaker 6: regulation of meat that they would use. So I don't
Speaker 6: know how that kind of happens, but if it's on purpose, yeah,
Speaker 6: maybe they should get the.
Speaker 5: Uh, that's some spendy soap. The Pentagon Watchdog it says
Speaker 5: that the US Air Force overpaid for spare parts for
Speaker 5: a C seventeen military transport plane that was made by
Speaker 5: guess who, anyone anyone, Yeah, Boeing. An audit found the
Speaker 5: service paid more than eighty times the regular commercial value
Speaker 5: for bathroom soap dispensers.
Speaker 2: Now, how does that happen? How do you pay an
Speaker 2: eight thousand percent markup? Because how many spare parts?
Speaker 3: Do you think a C seventeen has? Zillions? And how
Speaker 3: do they catch them?
Speaker 2: Well, auditors look at all the purchases and so slipped
Speaker 2: inside there is an eight million dollar toilet or a
Speaker 2: soap dispenser that costs four hundred and eighty six dollars.
Speaker 2: And that's how it's done and occasionally gets caught.
Speaker 3: And this is what happens.
Speaker 2: So is this Boeing cheating? It's possible, and the auditors
Speaker 2: finally catching up because the auditors audit the auditors. Yeah,
Speaker 2: with these governmental programs, they're seriously they're seriously audited. So
Speaker 2: that's how it happens, and I'm never going to get
Speaker 2: a soap dispenser the same way, that's for sure.
Speaker 6: A woman named Anne from Queens used the soap dispenser
Speaker 6: and said it gate eight thousand percent less soap.
Speaker 4: On our hand than Yeah.
Speaker 6: All right, job openings fall to a pre pandemic level.
Speaker 6: Another you know, good chunk of data for the Dems.
Speaker 6: In the next four days or so. You got all
Speaker 6: this data coming out at you, right, snapshots of what's
Speaker 6: going on in the US economy, and this one shows
Speaker 6: that job the job market's doing pretty well better than right.
Speaker 2: No, it has been doing incredibly well, but that's inflation.

Speaker 2: heating up, that's too much. So this one is it's
Speaker 2: now being brought down to a reasonable level or more
Speaker 2: reasonable level. And I think this is a well, I
Speaker 2: don't know which way the presidential is going to go
Speaker 2: on this one, because one of the things that Trump
Speaker 2: is saying is the illegal aliens have come in and
Speaker 2: taken your jobs.

Speaker 2: have you guys lost, how many of you have lost
Speaker 2: a job to an illegal alien?
Speaker 3: How many people would raise their hands? So that's not
Speaker 3: going to fly. So I think.
Speaker 2: The strongest argument I'm putting into politics is the inflation
Speaker 2: how much things cost. I don't think there's any way
Speaker 2: around that, because it's absolutely true inflation has gone down.

Speaker 2: of money at a restaurant.
Speaker 3: You're still paying fifteen dollars for a big Mac.
