Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: Chris Maryelam six forty more stimulating talk. I asked the
Speaker 2: question in a tweet last eight elon must challenging Vladimir
Speaker 2: Putin of physical combat.
Speaker 3: Here's what he said on his X format.
Speaker 2: I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat
Speaker 2: over Ukraine. And my starlink system is the backbone of
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if
Speaker 2: I turned it off. What I am sickened by is
Speaker 2: years of slaughter in a steelmate that Ukraine will inevitably lose.
Speaker 2: Anyone who really cares, really thinks, and really understands wants
Speaker 2: the meat grinder to.
Speaker 3: Stop peace now.
Speaker 2: So it sounds like he's he's saying, let's have a
Speaker 2: one on one physical combat over Ukraine.
Speaker 3: I don't think that Ukraine agreed to that.
Speaker 4: Does he support Ukraine?
Speaker 5: Because he also said if I turn it off, they
Speaker 5: will lose that advantage, right.
Speaker 2: Which makes me wonder is he threatening Ukraine or is
Speaker 2: he saying, uh, Putin fight me and if you lose,
Speaker 2: your out and if I lose, I'll shut off their
Speaker 2: internet and their toast and we'll end this war. That's
Speaker 2: the way I took it. So I asked you the
Speaker 2: question who would win? And if you're on the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 2: then you can hit the talk back button.
Speaker 3: Who would win? Musk or Putin?
Speaker 6: Musk versus Putin fight. Putin would win. He'd bring the
Speaker 6: umbrella with the rice and pellet. Oh yeah, Musk and
Speaker 6: the thigh and Musk will be dead. Putin wins.
Speaker 3: Yep, the old navalney treatment, right.
Speaker 4: Is that KGB training him telling?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's what you're talking KGB rules. Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: very good, all right?
Speaker 3: How about you?
Speaker 7: As far as who would win with between Vladimir Putin
Speaker 7: and Elon Musk, I think Putin would do pretty well.
Speaker 7: He is an Olympic champion in judo. Oh and you
Speaker 7: know that's that's saying something. And I think that.
Speaker 3: That is saying something. Yeah, you do see.
Speaker 7: Videotapes of him from time to time practicing his judo.
Speaker 7: So I think I would have to give the edge
Speaker 7: to Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 5: All right, that is that is correct. He is a
Speaker 5: black belt in Olympic judo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So again, why does Elon Musk keep trying to say
Speaker 2: he wants to fight people because he doesn't. He did
Speaker 2: this to Zuckerberg and then he's like, oh, I you
Speaker 2: know what, I I pulled a hammy. We're gonna have
Speaker 2: to delay this. I can't do it right now, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe later, because Zuckerberg is like, okay, I mean, Zuckerberg
Speaker 2: trains his physical fitness.
Speaker 3: Is what is it?
Speaker 2: I don't think it's karate, It might be Judo, whatever
Speaker 2: it is something, whatever it is.
Speaker 4: Now that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Oh all right, but okay.
Speaker 2: So Zuckerberg serfs now is being like Elon Musk challenging
Speaker 2: challenge him to a surfing contest?
Speaker 3: Like, stop challenging.
Speaker 2: People the things that they're good at, right, Eli, Why
Speaker 2: don't you challenge Putin to like a rocket building contest?
Speaker 2: Were you just breaking down to like legos or something.
Speaker 2: Don't challenge him to things he's good at. That would
Speaker 2: be like challenging Vladimir Putin to horseback riding topless.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win that.
Speaker 8: Right next, Oh my god, I have a response to
Speaker 8: another sports analogy.
Speaker 3: I love sports analogies.
Speaker 9: That that broad James got hurt, got a fat lip.
Speaker 8: Huh so no, I'm on the chapsicle heal that snails trail.
Speaker 8: Huh oh, well, I thought, I was you get kicked between.
Speaker 4: The legs and you're abroad.
Speaker 2: I feel like there was a lot of really dirty
Speaker 2: talking there. I have no idea what how to do
Speaker 2: with so okay, all right, very good, all right, all right,
Speaker 2: one more?
Speaker 3: Is this one good? Matt?
Speaker 2: Matt says, all right, all right, Matt's in for Kayla
Speaker 2: this week, I try to get killed fired.
Speaker 3: By the way, did you hear about this, Andrew?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in the group text.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was trying to get to Kayla.
Speaker 2: Our producer fired because she's taking another day off, and
Speaker 2: so I asked the executive producer, I said, can we
Speaker 2: just fire her? But I made sure to carbon copy
Speaker 2: her on it too, and she said, no, You're stuck
Speaker 2: with me.
Speaker 4: Transparency is very important.
Speaker 2: It is thank you, all right. Finally, who would win?
Speaker 2: Musk versus putin? Moose and squirrel?
Speaker 3: Agree? Put them would win?
Speaker 4: He was tough and hair.
Speaker 2: Was he Scottish or Russian or maybe Paul? I have
Speaker 2: no idea what it sounded like me trying to do
Speaker 2: an accent? Right, just kind of changes mid phrase, kind
Speaker 2: of weaves its way around all of Europe into Eastern Asia. Yep,
Speaker 2: all of it. Much respect for that one.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate Musin's world reference. Very good.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue to get more of your talkbacks
Speaker 2: throughout the evening here. Who would win Elon Musk versus
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin Musk challenge?
Speaker 3: Pootin bad idea.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, also in DC, some dude decides I think I'm
Speaker 2: going to take.
Speaker 3: A gun to the White House. That never ends. Well,
Speaker 3: we do want to get to some breaking news in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C.
Speaker 10: A Secret Service member has shot an armed man in
Speaker 10: a confrontation near the White House. Police had reported a
Speaker 10: suicidal individual, possibly traveling to DC from Indiana. He was
Speaker 10: found near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is next
Speaker 10: to the White House. Police say he revealed a weapon
Speaker 10: and that's when Secret Service members shot him. He was
Speaker 10: taken to the hospital, where his condition is unknown at
Speaker 10: this time. President Trump has been in Florida all weekend.
Speaker 2: No I thought he was ded. No, no confirmation on that.
Speaker 2: Is he not dead? The guy was suicidal. I've heard
Speaker 2: of suicide by cop. I don't think I've ever heard
Speaker 2: of suicide by secret Service. That's interesting. That's a new
Speaker 2: twist on an old game. What else was happening in
Speaker 2: the White House? Oh, it was a hell of a
Speaker 2: week in the White House. Marco Rubio was told sit
Speaker 2: down by Elon Musk. I would love to see Rubio
Speaker 2: challenge Elon Musk to a fight. Maybe we could work
Speaker 2: out some sort of a royal rumble situation where Elon
Speaker 2: Musk and Vladimir Putins start and then two minutes in
Speaker 2: Rubio comes in. Just every two minutes we bring in
Speaker 2: another cabinet member or another KGB member or Zelenski in there,
Speaker 2: and then at the end, I don't know, just playing
Speaker 2: it out my head.
Speaker 11: President Trump reigning in Elon Musk and his DOGE capabilities
Speaker 11: behind closed doors this week, amid confusion in Washington about
Speaker 11: all the cuts being made so far. In a social
Speaker 11: media post following Thursday's meeting, the President saying he wants
Speaker 11: the Cabinet to work hand in hand with DOGE on
Speaker 11: their staffing and spending, but final decisions will be up
Speaker 11: to the department leaders, despite Trump ending the post by saying, quote,
Speaker 11: the relationships between everybody in the room are extraordinary.
Speaker 2: Whoops, And I was bored with that hold on go Ba.
Speaker 2: That was pretty good. I was trying to open another file.
Speaker 11: Extraordinary reports soon emerged about a couple of back and
Speaker 11: forths between Musk and a few cabinet members, the most
Speaker 11: fiery being with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The New
Speaker 11: York Times reporting the meeting was explosive, with Musk and
Speaker 11: Rubio getting into it over government cuts. Musk chastising Rubio
Speaker 11: for not having fired anyone yet from the State Department.
Speaker 11: Rubio responding by saying, that's not true, questioning Musk on
Speaker 11: whether the fifteen hundred plus who took buyouts counted towards
Speaker 11: the layoffs.
Speaker 3: Musk, what are the hold on? Hang on?
Speaker 2: So Musk says you you haven't even fired anybody, and
Speaker 2: Rubio goes, wait, what about the people that took biots?
Speaker 2: Does that count? Does that count? Because if that counts,
Speaker 2: then I did. But if it doesn't count, then then
Speaker 2: I guess I probably haven't. But what are we counting here?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio was the sixth grader who got into a
Speaker 2: fight after school, but before the fight started, he wanted
Speaker 2: to lay out ground rules like, Okay, there's.
Speaker 3: No biting and no choking. Guys.
Speaker 2: No, you guys were choking last time, and there's no
Speaker 2: choking allowed, guys.
Speaker 4: So I do want to mention something else too.
Speaker 5: Okay, this is an own fact because Elon has been
Speaker 5: open about this. I think he was open about this
Speaker 5: when he hosted SNL a year or two ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does have aspergers yea.
Speaker 5: So, and then some of the things when we talk
Speaker 5: about aspergers, especially in political situations, logical and fact focus, approach, blunt,
Speaker 5: bluntness and directness, very black and white thinking.
Speaker 4: And when you think about this, is Mark.
Speaker 3: Rubio arguing about the rules.
Speaker 2: It's not even Elon musk right, and and Elon's response
Speaker 2: was you need to sit down right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's it's interesting because when you think of it,
Speaker 5: like Elon appears to take things very literal in politics,
Speaker 5: are so many layers, right, nothing is ever black and white.
Speaker 5: So I suspect that's why we keep seeing these tensions
Speaker 5: happen is because of Elon's approach, just because that's who
Speaker 5: we naturally. He probably runs his businesses that way too,
Speaker 5: versus the political arena, which completely operates completely different.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's all on nuance.
Speaker 2: Except Marco Rubio is arguing with him over the specifics
Speaker 2: of did I fire someone or not, and Elon Musk
Speaker 2: was the least on the spectrum during that argument.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
Speaker 11: Musk then got in a jab at Rubio, saying he
Speaker 11: was quote good on TV before President Trump got involved
Speaker 11: to defend Rubio's work, The wine House and the President
Speaker 11: have since been downplaying the reported spat, saying the two
Speaker 11: men get along great, No.
Speaker 3: Clash I was there.
Speaker 4: You're just in trouble maker, and you're not.
Speaker 8: Supposed to be asking that question because we're talking.
Speaker 3: About the World Cup.
Speaker 6: Elon gets along great with Marco and they're both doing
Speaker 6: a fantastic job.
Speaker 3: There is no clash.
Speaker 2: You hear that, you're not supposed to be asking that question.
Speaker 2: Trump was talking about the World Cup. He was not
Speaker 2: talking about the clash in the White House. In other words,
Speaker 2: Trump chose the topic and somebody else tried to deflect
Speaker 2: and say there's something else worth talking about.
Speaker 3: You're not allowed to do that from the talkbacks.
Speaker 9: Hey, Marylyn, there's plenty to talk about instead of the
Speaker 9: stupid hypothetical you got going on. Well, why don't you
Speaker 9: talk about Maxine Waters and the money she's funneling to
Speaker 9: her daughter or is that too close to home?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 9: You know, you got your orders too?
Speaker 4: Is something you want to tell us? Chris.
Speaker 2: First of all, you're not even supposed to be asking
Speaker 2: that question. We're not even talking about that right now.
Speaker 2: We're talking about Little Marco and Ellie and the robot.
Speaker 3: We're not even talking about We're.
Speaker 2: Not even talking about Maxine Waters, not even talking about that.
Speaker 3: But do I have marching orders? Yes, of course.
Speaker 2: And if I say Maxine Water's name anymore, then I
Speaker 2: will get a phone call and I end up in
Speaker 2: a black van. And I cried for a week the
Speaker 2: last time I got picked up on the black van,
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to.
Speaker 3: Take that risk again.
Speaker 4: We also talked about that in the group text.
Speaker 2: Nope, No, we didn't. Nope, we didn't do that at all.
Speaker 2: Shut up, Andrew. I've got my orders, I know, all right.
Speaker 2: One of the other things that Donald Trump did talk
Speaker 2: about this week is something that we're all lamenting today
Speaker 2: and will really hate tomorrow. That's next. Chris Merril AM
Speaker 2: six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeart Radio AFP.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: Chris merrel i AM six forty more stimulating talk and
Speaker 2: it tweet last ninety line Musk challenging Vladimir Putin to
Speaker 2: physical combat. Winner takes Ukraine? I guess who would win?
Speaker 2: Musk or Putin? Looking forward to your talkbacks. Just if
Speaker 2: you're on the iHeart radio app, just open their talkback,
Speaker 2: hit the button and love to hear what your thoughts
Speaker 2: are on that Musk v Putin?
Speaker 3: For all of Ukraine? Who wins that one?
Speaker 2: The President is sick and tired of something We're all
Speaker 2: sick and tired of. We're so oh sick and tired
Speaker 2: of it. We voted to stop it, but the politicians
Speaker 2: have not done squat and.
Speaker 12: A true social post. Trump says his party would try
Speaker 12: to end the practice. He wrote, quote, daylight saving time
Speaker 12: is inconvenient and costly to our nation. Setting clocks forward
Speaker 12: and back one hour is intended to maximize daylight during
Speaker 12: summer months, but it has long been subject to scrutiny.
Speaker 12: You may ask, didn't Californians vote on this?
Speaker 3: Didn't Californians vote on this? Well?
Speaker 12: Yes, voters passed Prop seven back in twenty eighteen. However,
Speaker 12: years later, lawmakers still can't seem to agree on whether
Speaker 12: we should keep daylight saving time all year long. No
Speaker 12: or abolish the whole thing altogether. Yes, so they've kept
Speaker 12: its status quo for now, which means we still change
Speaker 12: our clocks.
Speaker 3: All right. So there it is. We're still going to
Speaker 3: do this little dance. You know.
Speaker 5: Somebody asked Trump this last week about that, you know,
Speaker 5: and and he took the he took the middle of
Speaker 5: the road response. Where a hard look at that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: some people like it, some people don't. Some people some
Speaker 5: people like to drive their kids to school in the
Speaker 5: morning when there's light. I don't know anyone who is
Speaker 5: like pro keeping it. I would really like to meet them.
Speaker 5: I've never met anyone that's pro keeping.
Speaker 3: It to change you meet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The argument is always do we stay with do we
Speaker 2: stay in standard time, or do we stay in the
Speaker 2: daylight time. So we just went back into daylight saving time,
Speaker 2: which is the longest time of the year.
Speaker 3: We do this right from March until right November.
Speaker 5: I oldheartedly believe people would like more light at night time,
Speaker 5: like across the board.
Speaker 4: It's not even it's not even a question.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with with what people want. I think
Speaker 2: you're right about what people want. Although old farts like me,
Speaker 2: you get to a certain age and you start getting
Speaker 2: up earlier, and then you're like, oh, the sunrise is
Speaker 2: so nice. Why does anyone need to have that sun
Speaker 2: out so late? But let me make this argument. While
Speaker 2: we want that, what is the most productive. In other words,
Speaker 2: we have this habit of we we sleep as late as.
Speaker 3: We can until you start.
Speaker 2: It's like I hit forty and I started saying, whoo
Speaker 2: seven o'clock. I really slept in today. But we have
Speaker 2: this issue where we go, well, I'll sleep and then
Speaker 2: my if I have to be to work by eight,
Speaker 2: and it takes me an hour to get there, so
Speaker 2: I have to leave at seven and I take a
Speaker 2: ten minute shower. I mean, we back time everything, so
Speaker 2: we sleep until the last possible second, right, not everybody,
Speaker 2: and I don't do this, By the way, I like
Speaker 2: getting up early. I like having I like having a
Speaker 2: few hours before I have to do anything. Really helps
Speaker 2: me ease into my day. I also hate alarm clocks.
Speaker 2: So I'm not speaking I'm not speaking of someone who's
Speaker 2: pro this, but it's what happens, Okay, I understand this,
Speaker 2: and we want to be able to enjoy our evenings.
Speaker 2: To your point, Andrew, we wanted to want that light
Speaker 2: out later, so we enjoy our evenings. However, our bodies
Speaker 2: clocks are not that way. Socially, we've adapted to that.
Speaker 2: We have prime time television, we have our news that
Speaker 2: comes on at ten pm, right, we have we unless
Speaker 2: you're on the East coast and it comes out at eleven,
Speaker 2: so late. We adjusted ourselves socially that is in discord
Speaker 2: with what our internal clocks want. So while we mentally
Speaker 2: say I want to have the light out, I want
Speaker 2: to I want it to be light out later, truthfully,
Speaker 2: our bodies do not want it to be light out later.
Speaker 2: We want it to be light earlier. You're gonna disagree
Speaker 2: with me, but I'm not wrong. I'm right about it physiologically.
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is if we're going to stick
Speaker 2: to one, and I would to me, you go to
Speaker 2: standard time. But even sticking in the daylight saving time
Speaker 2: year round would be better than doing the stupid dance
Speaker 2: that we're doing all the time. It always confused me
Speaker 2: as a kid, why are we doing this? And my
Speaker 2: parents would explain it to me it's for the farmers.
Speaker 2: It's not, and then people say it's for energy savings.
Speaker 2: It really doesn't save us any energy.
Speaker 3: Now. There's really no good reason.
Speaker 2: To keep doing it except that we've been doing it
Speaker 2: for the last fifty plus years.
Speaker 3: So people are just used to it. Now change it,
Speaker 3: just be done with it.
Speaker 2: Just you're doing a bunch of radical stuff in Washington
Speaker 2: right now. You're eliminating Department of Education. It's been around
Speaker 2: fifty years. We're laying people off left and right. We're
Speaker 2: doging people all over the place. Doge has become a verb.
Speaker 2: Now we're doging people. We are changing, we're disrupting. This
Speaker 2: is an easy one to disrupt. Everyone agrees it sucks.
Speaker 2: As Andrews said, nobody wants it. Daylight saving time is
Speaker 2: better for productivity, it's better for our bodies, it's better
Speaker 2: for all that stuff. However, just not changing at all
Speaker 2: would be better than the system that we have, even
Speaker 2: if it is.
Speaker 3: The lesser of those two options. What do you think
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 4: Andrew, Just not changing it at all.
Speaker 3: Don't change the clock at all.
Speaker 2: In other words, get rid of get rid of this
Speaker 2: dance that we're doing, even if it's to DST permanently,
Speaker 2: which would effectively mean that we're joining the Mountain time zone.
Speaker 4: Let's let's join. No sign me up.
Speaker 3: As long as.
Speaker 2: Mountain joins, the Central, Central joins, the Eastern, and Eastern
Speaker 2: joins the.
Speaker 4: I want to I want to watch my Colbert an
Speaker 4: hour early. Let's join.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't know Colbar is still gonna be on later.
Speaker 2: Oh it's gonna be too late. Yeah, No, everybody's just
Speaker 2: gonna change it. Yeah. Absolutely. How about a hot Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson that feels like something from Urban Dictionary. Indeed, maybe
Speaker 2: it will be. You'll find out about a hot Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2: Next Chris merrilf I am six quarter. We're live everywhere
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: After Chris Merril, can't if I am six to forty
Speaker 2: more stimulating talk.
Speaker 3: Let's see where were we last week at this time?
Speaker 3: Was this? Was this? This was four thirty last week?
Speaker 3: Right man? Look at all that sunshine? Yeah, just the
Speaker 3: way Andrew likes it.
Speaker 4: Perfect. I can love that.
Speaker 2: I can see so where my wife goes in the summer.
Speaker 2: We've got a place in northern Michigan, and it changes
Speaker 2: because it's so much further north. The amount of light
Speaker 2: that gets added every month is remarkable. It's like the
Speaker 2: month of March will add eighty minutes of light to
Speaker 2: the day, and so in the uh in July, and
Speaker 2: I'll be there for the fourth of July. You know,
Speaker 2: when you get to the log, what is it the
Speaker 2: first day of summer, the summer for the solstice, the
Speaker 2: summer solstice, it's still light at about ten thirty. The
Speaker 2: fireworks don't start for the fourth of July until almost
Speaker 2: a lessven o'clock because it's still still light out. So
Speaker 2: that's part of my a grievance against that. I guess
Speaker 2: that I grew up with it was too late, it
Speaker 2: was too light, too late.
Speaker 3: I did not like that.
Speaker 2: So because we talked about daylight saving time, the President
Speaker 2: says he's looking into it.
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't like it. A lot of
Speaker 3: people say that there's a lot.
Speaker 2: Of sunlight, a lot of sunlight in the summertime. They
Speaker 2: want to pick some of that sunlight put it in
Speaker 2: the winter time. We're trying to figure out how to
Speaker 2: best do that, but we're definitely looking into it. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be a big It's gonna be huge. Let me
Speaker 2: see your thoughts on this.
Speaker 13: You're right, Chris, no good or reason.
Speaker 3: Is this their stoner dude, Andrew what's his name?
Speaker 4: Did he put his name down?
Speaker 3: No, he's always I just I love this guy.
Speaker 2: Oftentimes he'll tell us at the end how much he's
Speaker 2: he's choked on today.
Speaker 13: You're right, Chris, no good or reason. Yeah, I heard
Speaker 13: they had double daylight savings time during World War two?
Speaker 3: Is actually that one out?
Speaker 13: I think anyone really cares which way we go, just
Speaker 13: so we don't change anymore, or as you were saying,
Speaker 13: no more doing this dance.
Speaker 3: That's right, man, All right, Happy Sunday guys, Thanks buddy,
Speaker 3: appreciate that. All right, it's that bong for us, my friend.
Speaker 2: We had the President spoke this week and it was
Speaker 2: one of those joint sessions. It was not a State
Speaker 2: of the Union address, or don't call it that, but
Speaker 2: I guess JD. Vance, who was sitting behind President Trump
Speaker 2: next to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. They were
Speaker 2: conversing right before things were getting underway, and Vance.
Speaker 3: Was trying to.
Speaker 2: Sound I don't know, topical, friendly, affable, trying to meet
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson on something that he could relate to.
Speaker 3: But I don't get the feeling that.
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson is the most socially adept person either that
Speaker 2: people will mock jd Vance for for some of his
Speaker 2: social awkwardness. But let's not pretend like Mike Johnson is
Speaker 2: like he's not Tom Hanks. Okay, he's not out there
Speaker 2: making friends with the strangers. It ain't happening, all right.
Speaker 2: So this was the hot mic moment. Kind of tough
Speaker 2: to hear.
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of backgroundways have a listener. By
Speaker 3: the way I get the speech is going to be great.
Speaker 3: Can you hear that?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, sounds fine.
Speaker 3: Okay, by the way I hit the speech, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be great. I don't know how to do this for exments.
Speaker 3: The hardest thing was doing it during by when this
Speaker 3: speech was.
Speaker 2: A stupid campaign Okay, so he said, I don't know
Speaker 2: how you do this for ninety minutes. He said, the
Speaker 2: hardest thing van excuse me, Johnson said the hardest thing
Speaker 2: was doing it during Biden when it was ninety minutes
Speaker 2: of a campaign speech.
Speaker 3: Let the record show all.
Speaker 2: Joint sessions have turned into campaign speeches and have been
Speaker 2: that way for by the time we started daily saving,
Speaker 2: actually fifty years ago. So yeah, yeah, don't try to
Speaker 2: tell me that one side makes it a campaign speech
Speaker 2: and the other one doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's miserable.
Speaker 2: It's why I shouldn't even say this, because it's my
Speaker 2: job to pay attention to this crap.
Speaker 3: I didn't. In fact, I was wrapping up for the evening.
Speaker 2: I was putting on my pjas and I came out
Speaker 2: of the bathroom and my wife had the speech on.
Speaker 3: My wife and my son, my son is twenty five.
Speaker 2: They were watching the speech and I said, can we
Speaker 2: watch something else?
Speaker 3: And she said, why don't you go in the other room.
Speaker 3: We want to see this, And I go.
Speaker 2: The last thing I want to do is watch any
Speaker 2: more politics because there will be nothing new gleaned from this.
Speaker 2: And you know what, you know what, there was nothing
Speaker 2: new gleaned from this, So I regret nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Trump had a couple of singers in there.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, this is no. But I can't with you.
Speaker 2: I can't with you. I just I can't with you.
Speaker 2: H Are those astronauts still up in the space station?
Speaker 2: Are they still stuck up there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just hanging m It's like it's like the
Speaker 5: It's like the space version of Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 3: Why did Biden leave them up there?
Speaker 2: Is he just is he trying to make the rest
Speaker 2: of the country pay attention to their slow motion deaths?
Speaker 3: Is that what we're doing?
Speaker 4: Maybe he forgot it is just like, oh that could be.
Speaker 2: Oh are these astronauts kind of our version of of
Speaker 2: Latka the Russian dog that they just left up there?
Speaker 3: Is that what it is? Really?
Speaker 13: Sorry?
Speaker 3: Probably not gonna bring it back down.
Speaker 2: H Fortunately we now have a president who is going
Speaker 2: to do something about it.
Speaker 4: Many many years and decades yet, Peter, did you have
Speaker 4: one more?
Speaker 2: Yeah's two Starliner astronauts stuck in space for eight months?
Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, President Trump. Can you
Speaker 2: speak on your bunions? Oh yeah, President Trump. Are you
Speaker 2: having any symptoms of appendicitis?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: President Trump? Any thoughts on the grandkids?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: Very good? Continue on.
Speaker 1: They left them alone, Biden left him up there.
Speaker 3: What do you know about that? I know everything about it.
Speaker 6: I said, do we have two astronets that are stuck
Speaker 6: in space?
Speaker 3: I have asked Elon? I said, do me a favor.
Speaker 3: Can you get him out? He said yes, he is
Speaker 3: preparing to go up.
Speaker 4: I think in two weeks about how this went.
Speaker 2: Down, because he's said that the Biden White House was
Speaker 2: offered some kind of SpaceX rocky to go get.
Speaker 3: These guys, and they said, that's what I heard.
Speaker 4: I can't tell you that, but that's what I heard.
Speaker 2: So Peter Noosey Fox News says that Elon Musk claims
Speaker 2: that he offered Joe Biden a SpaceX rocket to bring
Speaker 2: them down, but he declined.
Speaker 3: Andrew, can you just refresh my memory on this from
Speaker 3: a news team point.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what he's saying, right, I mean, there's
Speaker 5: there's no record. I would be very interesting to see
Speaker 5: if that is actually legit, because that would be horrible
Speaker 5: if it is true.
Speaker 2: No, the plan all along was we have to we
Speaker 2: have to get this window, and we're gonna have a
Speaker 2: SpaceX rocket go get them. Because remember it was the
Speaker 2: Boeing ship that kept having problems with like screws coming loose,
Speaker 2: and so it was said, all right, Mosca is gonna
Speaker 2: go get them with one of his rockets, but we
Speaker 2: have to get the right rockets up there.
Speaker 3: He's constantly shooting off rockets. We know this.
Speaker 2: We see the streaks across the sky. But those are
Speaker 2: those are rockets to launch satellites. Those are not rockets
Speaker 2: for bringing a crew back on. So yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: know where the hole he turned him down thing came from.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any record of that at all.
Speaker 5: But you know, if if this happens in two weeks,
Speaker 5: like Trump is saying, and Elon gets them and they're
Speaker 5: you know, back here in three weeks, yep, and that
Speaker 5: becomes what is explained in the news and stuff. No
Speaker 5: one's going to go back and do the research because
Speaker 5: so much time has passed. People are just going to
Speaker 5: assume that's gospel.
Speaker 2: Why I just assume it's gospel anyway. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: the President of the United States saying that, it's the
Speaker 2: not official head of DOGE saying that, so there is
Speaker 2: no reason to check facts on such things. When we
Speaker 2: have the most transparent White House in the history of
Speaker 2: American history historically speaking, we don't do that.
Speaker 5: It does make you wonder, though, why this hasn't been
Speaker 5: a priority. I mean eight days and it's been over
Speaker 5: eight months now, like it You know, to me, it
Speaker 5: would seem like an issue.
Speaker 3: But especially if you're one of the astronauts.
Speaker 4: But I'm not the government, so maybe I'm missing something here.
Speaker 3: Although we don't know what's going on with those astronauts either.
Speaker 2: For instance, if I were stranded someplace and couldn't come
Speaker 2: back and couldn't communicate with my family, they would probably
Speaker 2: call my wife and they would say, we're doing everything
Speaker 2: we can to get him back, and my wife would say,
Speaker 2: you know what, take your time.
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 2: You know what, maybe I double checked the math on that.
Speaker 2: If he has to be off for another couple of months,
Speaker 2: that's fine, that's okay. We just had a new firefighter
Speaker 2: move next door. I'm just gonna go bake him a castle.
Speaker 2: Role It's okay. Chris is fine up there. I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's got tang He's gonna be okay. So, I mean,
Speaker 2: we don't know what's going on in their world that
Speaker 2: could be happening. We have exceptional prices. Call dang it,
Speaker 2: who wrote this headline?
Speaker 4: Caravella?
Speaker 2: Did you write my headline about exceptional prices? That's the
Speaker 2: kind of crap I do not accept. It is excellent,
Speaker 2: but no, stop dad gumt. All right, we're gonna get
Speaker 2: to the bottom of why eggs are so expensive. And
Speaker 2: it's not the bird flu. Unless it's the bird flu,
Speaker 2: we'll find out next Chris merril k I AM six
Speaker 2: forty were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six demand, Chris.
Speaker 2: Merril KFI AM sixty on demand anytime in the iHeart
Speaker 2: Radio app. All right, and I tweet Last night Elon
Speaker 2: Musk challenged Vladimir Putin to a physical combat.
Speaker 3: Winner takes Ukraine. I guess Musk.
Speaker 2: Said that he could shut off starlink to the Ukrainian military.
Speaker 2: Even if he did that, they would be toast. So
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's I don't know what's going
Speaker 2: on in his mind. He thinks he's gonna fight Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 2: former KGB agent, Olympic judo black belt guy. But Musk
Speaker 2: says we could fight. So the question I'm talk back
Speaker 2: if you're on the iHeart Radio app, who wins? Who
Speaker 2: would win that fight? Elon Musk or Vladimir Putin? And
Speaker 2: remember this is not the first time that Musk has
Speaker 2: challenged someone to fisticuffs. He also challenged Mark Zuckerberg. So
Speaker 2: it could happened, Man, it could happen. What else were
Speaker 2: we talking about here? Gang talking about the daily saving
Speaker 2: time earlier? Yeah, we were Okay, more from the talkback.
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, love the show. Random thought on the time change.
Speaker 8: Since we can't agree, but we can all agree that
Speaker 8: we love more sunlight, we should fall forward and spring back.
Speaker 8: Seeing is that we're in the northern hemisphere. We can
Speaker 8: get longer days in the fall and winter when it's
Speaker 8: usually darker, and a little bit less in the spring
Speaker 8: summer when it's lighter outside.
Speaker 3: Win, win for everybody.
Speaker 2: What do you think, No, no, but there there would
Speaker 2: be a bit of an advantage to that.
Speaker 3: Hang on, I have to do some of the math
Speaker 3: in my head here. I think, Yeah.
Speaker 2: If we could get home from work an hour earlier
Speaker 2: in the summer, then we wouldn't have the strain on
Speaker 2: the power grid because we have solar you know, solar
Speaker 2: supplements the power grid. If I'm doing my math right
Speaker 2: on this, then we would have we would have more
Speaker 2: power available to run our air conditioners when we get
Speaker 2: home from work, but we'd still have to shut them
Speaker 2: off later on. But we could prequel while we're there.
Speaker 2: That's the closest I got on that one. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying it's a good reason. I'm just saying it's another
Speaker 2: thing to think of.
Speaker 3: Just don't at me. Don't at me on this right?
Speaker 3: What else I appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Chris who has more loose screws biting or boweling?
Speaker 8: Oly enough?
Speaker 3: They won't start with a b.
Speaker 2: Yeah, put you in the race there, but yeah, both
Speaker 2: of them, lots of screws, loos loose, no doubt. Uh.
Speaker 2: You go to the grocery store and you see that
Speaker 2: eggs are expensive, and for some reason, I don't know
Speaker 2: what's wrong with us, there's a psychological condition and I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what it is, but we know that the
Speaker 2: price of eggs is sky high, so high that the
Speaker 2: average cost of a dozen of eggs a dozen eggs
Speaker 2: is higher than what we pay for it. Because grocery
Speaker 2: stores have decided to make eggs lost leaders. So they
Speaker 2: are deep discounting, really deeply discounting eggs. They're not losing
Speaker 2: a ton on this. But it's supposed to bring you
Speaker 2: in because as these things are so dag I'm expensive, we're.
Speaker 3: Buying them out eggs or so.
Speaker 2: Can you believe the toilet paper? I get I get
Speaker 2: that because we got you got your tush.
Speaker 3: But with the.
Speaker 4: Eggs, eat something else?
Speaker 2: Oh I can't possibly eat anything else? Eat something else?
Speaker 2: Maybe try cereal for breakfast?
Speaker 3: Oh how could we? I have to have eggs? Yikes?
Speaker 2: So what's happening with the egg prices? Are they coming down?
Speaker 2: Or are we just gonna keep getting hosed?
Speaker 14: Well, the cost of eggs is finally going down.
Speaker 4: The USDAT whoops from maybec seven.
Speaker 14: THEA shows the average price for a dozen eggs across
Speaker 14: southern California is down eighty seven cents since last week.
Speaker 14: Now at nine forty a cardon the US Apartment A
Speaker 14: cardon forty a carden?
Speaker 3: Say again, how much is that? Did you get?
Speaker 14: Now at nine to forty a carden?
Speaker 3: Huh? All right, no exactly what that is? But all right?
Speaker 14: The US Apartment of Justice is now launching an investigation
Speaker 14: into the country's largest egg producer.
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't smoke. How much is a cardin of smokes?
Speaker 2: Raoul?
Speaker 3: Do you know? I don't even know if you smoke? No,
Speaker 3: not at all. No, how much is a carden of smokes? Right? Now?
Speaker 3: Are eggs more expensive than smokes? I know?
Speaker 2: Again lost leaders on the on the eggs, But oh
Speaker 2: no that the cigarettes are like thirty five dollars or
Speaker 2: something a carton over right or more?
Speaker 3: I don't have any idea. Hold on, let me bring this.
Speaker 3: How much is a carden of cigarettes?
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see here. Oh, between thirty and sixty dollars.
Speaker 2: We're not even close, Are you kidding? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: eat your omelets, people, quit your.
Speaker 14: The US Apartment of Justice is now launching an investigation
Speaker 14: into the country's largest egg producer. Some are now accusing
Speaker 14: the company of a coordinated efforts to restrict supply and
Speaker 14: inflate prices.
Speaker 2: What that never happens every time there's a supply issue.
Speaker 2: What I can't believe someone would take a news story,
Speaker 2: a legitimate reason for there to be a supply issue,
Speaker 2: and then try to turn it to their advantage in
Speaker 2: order to drive up their profits.
Speaker 14: That's what the egg industry says. The worst bird flu
Speaker 14: outbreak in US history has forced them to kill tens
Speaker 14: of millions of hens, leading to the egg surcharge and
Speaker 14: empty shelves. Even with prices coming down, many small businesses
Speaker 14: are worried that they're going to have to raise prices.
Speaker 2: If things hold up at this price, I'll pay seventy
Speaker 2: thousand dollars more for eggs than I did last year.
Speaker 3: They can't just.
Speaker 2: Absorb by the way that's a small business. That's not
Speaker 2: just some guy who loves eggs.
Speaker 4: They can't just absorb that hit for in the next
Speaker 4: nine months.
Speaker 3: No, that's true. That's true. You're going to have to
Speaker 3: put on your search arges. You have to. I get it.
Speaker 14: The profits for the country's largest egg producer, Calmane, surge
Speaker 14: three hundred and forty two percent last quarter compared to
Speaker 14: a year ago. In twenty twenty three, a jury ordered
Speaker 14: Calmane and three other companies to pay fifty three million
Speaker 14: dollars for unlawfully inflating prices. What the companies are challenging
Speaker 14: that verdict?
Speaker 2: You mean a company with a history of doing this
Speaker 2: might be doing it.
Speaker 15: That blows my mind. I can't believe something like this
Speaker 15: would definitely happen that the first chance they got. All right,
Speaker 15: you saw the news this week about Gene Hackman. It
Speaker 15: is terrible, which is why I got into an argument
Speaker 15: with one of our newspeople over it. It's not how
Speaker 15: most of us would do it, but he made a
Speaker 15: compelling argument for why Gene Hackman wandered around his wife's
Speaker 15: corpse for a week without anybody else noticing. That is next,
Speaker 15: as we take a look there's no business.
Speaker 4: Like shell visess that.
Speaker 3: That live or is that memory can.
