I'm glad you're 76 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.719 taking care of yourself. I am all right now. 77 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.479 Near New You, it is raining, but it's still a 78 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.280 light rain coming down this morning and last night it 79 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.919 was not a drizzle, but it was a gentle rain, 80 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.520 which is exactly what we needed. 81 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.560 Amy, I'm gonna throw it to you, weather report wise. 82 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.000 Weather report, we're expected to see light rain at its peak, 83 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.039 maybe a quarter inch of an hour. But forekesters are saying, 84 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.319 that's kind of slow and steady, and that's what we 85 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.919 want and the risk of mud slides if the rain 86 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.919 forecast holds is under five percent, so that's good. 87 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.719 Do we ever get news from the fire officials at 88 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:16.240 a fire like Alta data like Palises is out? It 89 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.879 is out done, not just contained, but out. I know 90 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.399 they go for weeks after for smoldering hotspots, But do 91 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.600 they ever say that because I don't remember, I you know. 92 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:29.839 That's that's a good question. 93 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.720 I don't remember it ever being out because we report 94 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.519 on when it's surrounded and they're still working on hotspots. 95 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.480 I mean, effectively there's no flame, but they're still there 96 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.399 because there's still smoldering stuff. 97 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.639 So you can and it cann't night, right, But once. 98 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.439 It's contained, that's basically out. 99 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:47.120 Okay. 100 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.160 And because you get a little it's almost like when 101 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.199 you lie. I remember in boy Scouts, and this was 102 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.560 before the scout leader molested me, and you could start 103 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.319 a fire. You start with a little king kindling and 104 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.319 you do the spark and you blow gently on it 105 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.160 and it ignites. 106 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:12.199 It's almost like that. Okay, what neil? Nothing? Absolutely nothing. 107 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.000 I have no more feelings about you or what you say. 108 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.319 All right, you guys, ready to do it? 109 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:19.720 Yeah? 110 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.800 All right, handle on the news with Amy Neil and 111 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.040 me lead. 112 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.800 Sorry, good lord, all right. 113 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.399 The President yesterday said. 114 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.279 That the US should will maybe take over Gaza, that 115 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.600 we will take over Gaza and rebuild it, so they'll 116 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.040 be Trump Trump towers. Well, it'll be more Trump shanties. 117 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.959 Yeah, Trump sort of. These are the most beautiful chanties 118 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:56.439 I know. Trump refugee camps with a big the best 119 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.879 razor wire you could find nobody has. 120 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.120 But listen to the point, okay, and that is and 121 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.680 it makes sense in some some pretty serious ways. Gaza 122 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:12.639 is done for a generation. To rebuild Gaza is at 123 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.079 least in the tens of billions of dollars. I don't 124 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.399 know who is going to put that money up. It 125 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.399 will not be the Arab countries because they give lip 126 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.199 service to the Palestinians. That's it. They don't pile money 127 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.920 in to help them out. It just isn't there. So 128 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.360 now you have a country, a state Gaza that Commas controls, 129 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.800 their terrorist organization still controls that is doesn't exist anymore. 130 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.160 It is there's nothing there to control. 131 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.120 Ninety percent of the population has been displaced, seventy percent 132 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.759 of the buildings are gone, infrastructure is done. 133 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.680 No sewage, no water. 134 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.439 Supply, electricity, gas lines, I mean basically gone. And he 135 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:03.120 is saying get out and we'll rebuild and then you come. 136 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.800 Back, except did he say come back? 137 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:06.480 Yeah, he did. 138 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.319 Part of the Palestinian is going to be a beautiful 139 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.639 place where it's going to be a world class organization 140 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.600 that people can including the Palestinians, will come back. He 141 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.040 didn't say it is for the purpose of the Palestinians. 142 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.160 They are just part of the people that will come 143 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879 to the Trump refugee camps that are going to be 144 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.399 built over the next It's a generation to build this thing, 145 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.120 and it's unbelievable amounts of money. And he said, well, 146 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.600 here's you know, that's I got to tell you. 147 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.399 If I'm sitting in a rubble and that's my house. 148 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.800 And I have a chance, no schools, and I have 149 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.519 a chance to raise my family in a place that 150 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.800 does have infrastructure that speaks Arabic, and what he is saying, 151 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.160 Jordan should take some of the people in Saudi Arabia 152 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.560 and they've all yeah, they've all said Nope, that ain't 153 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:55.240 going to happen. 154 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.279 So they should call Rick Caruso and they can make 155 00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.680 it Gaza Strip, mall. 156 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:07.600 Very strong, you know that, not bad, not bad, all right. 157 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.480 So anyway, at first glance, it's insane, and then at 158 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.279 second glance, you know, if I'm in Gaza, I'm a Palestinian, 159 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.079 I consider it. I would now forcing the other companies 160 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.600 and the US troops coming in there, and it becomes 161 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.639 a territory of the US. 162 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.079 That's a different story. 163 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.600 But sometimes there is a method to his madness, for example, 164 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.440 his tariffs that he is throwing on countries to the 165 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.879 point where Mexico caved, Canada caved. Not so much, China, 166 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:42.480 not so much China. 167 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.960 Well, the recovery part is complete. A week after the 168 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.360 mid air collision between the American Airlines commuter plane and 169 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:56.200 a black Hawk Army helicopter, all sixty seven victims of 170 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.279 the crash have been removed from the Potomac River and 171 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.360 they're continuing removing the plane now. So part of the 172 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.679 fuselage was taken out, the plane's tail with its red, 173 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.080 white and blue on it was removed, and then they 174 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.600 were going after the cockpit later. 175 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:14.120 Yeah. 176 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.759 So now it's the investigation as to what happened, and 177 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:21.120 it's looking like although there's nothing definitive, but it looks 178 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:25.039 like the helicopter was at too high in altitude, about 179 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.879 one hundred feet higher than it should have been, and 180 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.480 the plane was doing exactly what it was supposed to do. 181 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.240 From what I'm hearing that the tower told it to 182 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.000 take another runway, it moved and it was on approach 183 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.399 right where the tower said exactly what's going to go 184 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.240 and boom the helicopter hit it. And so they're going 185 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.559 to figure out what happened, how did it happen, And 186 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.840 so that's what we're hearing, although they will not say 187 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.879 definitively until the investigation is over, and it takes a while. 188 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:53.759 Well, because they have to. 189 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.000 They take that whole plane and they're going to take 190 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.679 it loaded on flatbeds, take it to basically huge hangar, 191 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.879 and they reassemble it. 192 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.879 Yeah, they put it together bit by bit. It's like 193 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.879 this huge jigsaw puzzle. Certain pieces they can't, but for 194 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.679 the most part, you see an entire plane. 195 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.639 It's like a thousand peak jigsaw puzzle. You've done those, 196 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:19.879 except it's three d Wow. It's insane, all right. CIA 197 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.519 on Tuesday became the first major national security agency to 198 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:29.360 offer so called buyouts to its entire workforce. So you 199 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.039 have a CIA spokesperson and two other sources familiar with 200 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.559 the offer said this is part of President Donald Trump's 201 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.720 broad effort to shrink the federal government and shape it 202 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.440 to his agenda. The offer which tells federal employees that 203 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.360 they can quit their jobs and receive roughly eight months 204 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.360 of pay and benefits. 205 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.279 I don't know how much of a buyout that is 206 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.799 eight months. I think people that are close to retirement, yeah, 207 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.080 would pull it out immediately. And the accusation, the criticism 208 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.600 is these are senior people and they need the expertise. 209 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.600 The trumpetdministration wants to shrink it and bring in new people. 210 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.679 But you're bringing in people that are in minor positions. 211 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.000 You're not going to be bringing people have thirty years experience. 212 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.120 And so the spokesperson was up there halfway through, by 213 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.799 the way the press conference, he took the buy out 214 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.360 and walked out. 215 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.159 You know that.

I mean that sort of have 295 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:45.960 to do that. 296 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.840 If who's saying it's discretionary spending, Yeah, like the on 297 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.919 China side or our side. 298 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.039 Merk is saying that like many other companies, we've seen 299 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.000 increased pressure on discretionary consumer spending, including across the vaccine 300 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.120 in space, and demand for Gardasil has not recovered to 301 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.240 the level they had expected. 302 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:04.600 Yeah. 303 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:09.679 It is a simple injection that usually taken, usually taken 304 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.519 by girls in case, let's. 305 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.399 Say, if it's for boys. 306 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:14.200 Too, I think so. 307 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.960 But if they stoop someone who happens to have HPV, 308 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.440 which causes infertility, this is where the girl part comes in. 309 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.639 That causes infertility because HPV does that's a big problem, 310 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.320 and so. 311 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.840 Which also can't higher rates of cancer.

It's 326 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.880 like a polio vaccine almost. You know, it's your nuts 327 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:14.640 not to do it. 328 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.039 They don't promote it for boys the same way. I 329 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.519 don't think so. 330 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.160 Yeah, I've seen ads where they show boys on it. 331 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.559 Okay, maybe it's because I have girls and I didn't 332 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.400 pay it and I didn't pay attention to the boys. 333 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:26.519 Absolutely okay. 334 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.759 Hey, and if you before you feel bad for Merk. 335 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:37.839 Their company's forecast total revenue is just sixty five and 336 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.119 a half billion dollars. 337 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.799 Yeah this year. 338 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.799 Yeah, pharmaceutical companies are doing just great, lot of cash. 339 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.880 That's a lot of cash. Okay, all right. Senate confirmed 340 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.839 Pam Bondi as the US Attorney General just yesterday evening, 341 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.000 putting a long time ally of Donald Trump. What are 342 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.119 the odds at the helm of the Justice Department that 343 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.440 has already been a bit rattled by firings of career 344 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:05.319 employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president. 345 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.680 Oh yeah, Now, her confirmation or her nomination wasn't completely 346 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.680 crazy because she was the Attorney General of Florida, so 347 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.319 she has a background. It's not like Robert Kennedy or 348 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.599 Cash Patel. I mean, that's which is basically crazy. During 349 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.319 the confirmation hearing, which I found fascinating, she was asked, 350 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:31.400 do you believe that the election was stolen? Do you 351 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.720 still advocate the election was stolen and that Joe Biden 352 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.079 was not elected president? And all she would say is 353 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.680 Joe Biden is the president. He was the president for 354 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.640 four years. Again, the question was asked, it's about the 355 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.680 stolen election. Do you still advocate the election was stolen? 356 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:58.200 Joe Biden was the president? That's it would not retract 357 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:03.640 at all and was one of the most vociferous the 358 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.039 election deniers. But it doesn't matter, you know, it's even 359 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.960 Cassidy went in favor of RFK yesterday. I'm going to 360 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.440 talk about that at seven twenty because that's a story 361 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.359 that's just well, it's not astounding, and I'm going to 362 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:22.039 explain why it happened. Okay, Oh ahead, Oh yeah, no, no, no, okay, 363 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:23.079 I was about to introduce you. 364 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.960 Okay, I was going to say, I hate this story, 365 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.839 but bye, by butterfly. The number of monarchs spending the 366 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.079 winter in the western US, and most of them come 367 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:35.079 to California, has dropped to its second lowest level in 368 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.759 nearly three decades. The highest number recorded was one point 369 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:41.960 two million in nineteen ninety seven. And he guesses what 370 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.799 it is in twenty twenty four. Yeah, it's nine thousand, 371 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.799 just nine thousand, which is also a ninety six percent 372 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.240 decrease from twenty twenty three when there were two hundred 373 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:53.680 and thirty three thousand recorded. 374 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:58.279 You know, I'm very connected with stan Lankapistronto, as a 375 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.440 lot of us know. And the wallows coming into San 376 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.599 Juan Kapistrano used to be one. More should be by 377 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:09.640 they should be returning by the millions this year too, 378 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:13.440 And they were probably another bird. 379 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:15.200 That's it. 380 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.240 There are no more swallows the San Juan Compistranto.
