11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>wish we could share these because this is what Jason

12
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken with the mask right, the the

13
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>hockey mask and dressed in a in Santa Claus outfit.

14
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, Mary, Yes, exactly so. But Friday is

15
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>four Friday at thirteenth. I've always loved Friday at thirteenth.

16
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not super sistous at all, but I have to

17
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you, every year I go out and I get

18
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>a black cat, I put it under a ladder and

19
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I kill it with broken mirror shards. What what is

20
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>wrong with you? Plenty?

21
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>He was not loved or hugged as a child.

22
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I was of glass I was. No, it has to

23
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 1>be mirror sharks. I was. I was hugged too hard

24
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 1>as a child. My father was arrested for that because

25
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it went beyond hugging.

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>In any case, you know, someone left a message, some

27
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>young lady left a message on the talk back yesterday

28
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 2>that she hated me because I was mean to you.

29
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, uh yeah. I asked Anne yesterday in

30
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>her travails and her meeting people, how many people actually

31
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>think I'm as big a dick as I as I

32
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>come off? Yeah? Pretty much everyone.

33
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You're actually very generous and kind. Now filtered, you just

34
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>are unfiltered. You kind of says, old, it's it's all.

35
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not just unfiltered. I mean there's a deep

36
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>seated hatred of you and the world around me and me.

37
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm a basically your self loathing jew. You know,

38
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>it's just that simple.

39
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>You are the seven year old boy with the big

40
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>forehead that walks up to people and go you're fat.

41
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And can I describe this morning what we talked

42
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>about the Christmas tree? Is that inappropriate?

43
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>It?

44
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 4>How we?

45
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Anne asked me, Uh, do I have a Christmas tree

46
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 1>coming up? And now that yeah, I did. Yeah. Now

47
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm with a shiksa goddess of love here. Well not particularly,

48
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's visually very strong. So yeah, I got a

49
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Christmas tree and we're doing a honka thing also, so

50
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 1>uh sort of hit both. And what I want to

51
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>do is, instead of a little angel on top of

52
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the tree, is to uh put a crucifix uh of

53
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing the you know, Jesus being crucified, and

54
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>then a little model of the juice selling nails right

55
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>next to it. And she said that was a little tough.

56
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that's uh neil, of all that you could

57
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>do that you could do that for me, I mean,

58
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 1>because you're so good at this. I think that'd be

59
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a great little figuring above the Christmas tree.

60
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't hear you over the popping crackling of the fire.

61
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>That's what I said.

62
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>He's going to burn. He's going to n.

63
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, anyway, enough of me, Enough of me

64
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to talking about how great I am. All Right, this

65
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>self aggrandizing.

66
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>You are going to be burning, and it's going to

67
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>be so loud in hell that Jesus is going to

68
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 2>stomp on the floor and go keep it down down there. Oh,

69
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 2>that's allowed you will be all right?

70
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, all right, let me say good morning to everybody,

<v Speaker 2>This is a shirt that Ann had nothing to do

89
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 2>with because I wasn't on the show last year. This

90
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 2>spirit Halloween shirt.

91
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay. And Anne, you're just wearing your normal green

92
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>thing that you wear.

93
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, she's wearing the bra I got her.

94
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, excellent.

95
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 2>A it's a a sweater?

96
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

97
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

98
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Why is it a thing you ever seen? You know

99
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>they do. I'm thinking of doing bras for conjoined Jews

100
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 1>so they can wear to you know, to a synagogue

101
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and they're together with the brass yamaka. It's never mind,

102
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a visual too. I have no idea where you're going.

103
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I totally visualized that. I'm sorry, but I understand Bill.

104
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>After thirty years conjoined Jews wearing a bra as yamakas.

105
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>That's actually funny. Oh thank you. I think that's what

106
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>threw the curveball.

107
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, one other thing I have to before we start

108
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 1>the news, and I sent this to ConA. I'm going

109
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to play it for you. Justin Wersham, who was our kono.

110
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>A couple of years ago or three years ago, is

111
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a news story about one of those stools

112
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>that you sit on in the shower, and it was well,

113
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>it had to do with a man who was sitting

114
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 1>on one of those and had some real physical problems

115
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>because there were holes in the stools too, I guess

116
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>for air to circulate. And the stool was made. It

117
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was a Swedish stool, and so let's just play that.

118
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Because I go through my old stuff and this I

119
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 1>happened to go ahead and I listened to this and

120
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>it was one of the funniest things that ever occurred

121
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 1>on this show. And this was justin doing it. So

122
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>this was during the news. Okay, Cono play it please.

123
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 4>Jordi Sad Norway bought one of these stools that you

124
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 4>put in the shower. These plans take stools from Ikia

125
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 4>and if you look at a picture of the stools,

126
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 4>it has fairly large holes around the stool on top. Well,

127
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 4>what ended up happening is one of his testicular parts

128
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 4>got stuck in one of the holes when the hot

129
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 4>water caused the ball to expand.

130
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, to address that, they released a PSA.

131
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 3>I found it on the internet.

132
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>If you guys want to hear it.

133
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Sure would like to encourage caution and using the Marias

134
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 3>stool aka meatball calendar. If used in the shower, it

135
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 3>is possible for one or more of your meatballs to

136
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 3>descend through the hole.

137
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 6>Extra caution if you have an extra sad sack of

138
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 6>meatballs like Bill handle you Aikia caring for your meatballs

139
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 6>since nineteen forty three.

140
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I lost Oh my god, I al Calander.

141
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I absolutely lost it. This was We've done some

142
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 1>fun stuff on this show.

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a very funny man.

144
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Justin is a very funny guy. Okay, so you

00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 1>thousand acres, but it's Malibu and Malibu has a history

155
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 1>of fires and the homes are all a trillion dollars.

156
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>So and then you have major stars, public personalities. Big

157
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>star about Dick van Dyck who thought he lost his

158
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>cat and turned out the cat is safe and became

159
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>international news. Go figure that one out, by the way,

160
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 1>last year with Dick Van Dyke, I do I amc

161
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the Lawyer's Philharmonic Orchestra, as you know, I do it

162
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>every year. Last year was it last year or the

163
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>year before? Dick Van Dyke, at ninety eight was performing

164
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 1>and he did a terrific job. I mean, it looks

165
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>really good for ninety nine. You think he still sings,

166
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>he still dances, I mean, obviously not the old Dick

167
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>van Dyke, but you go, wow. So anyway, incredibly talented,

168
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>very very talented.

169
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Did you mention it was his birthday? No?

170
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I asked him how much, you know, I

171
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>asked him how much he got when he was doing

172
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the Dick Van Dyke show, what he was being paid?

173
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>She did, of course, I did seven hundred and fifty

174
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>bucks a week. He just told you, flat out, flat out.

175
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I always asked that was probably a lot of money

176
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 1>back then, Well it was. I sent a million dollars

177
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>an episode.

178
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 5>Like the Friends stars.

179
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but in those days, the stars of shows had

180
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 1>no power whatsoever. They were straight out employees. I wonder

181
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 1>what had no say in anything?

182
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 2>What was a season back then? Now it's like twenty.

183
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>A season back then was twenty. But this was only

184
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>his first year, and then of course it went out

185
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>blah blah because it was just a brand new show,

186
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and people got nothing for brand new shows. It was

187
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I think twenty two, twenty four. No, I think it

188
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>was thirty something episodes per season.

189
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

190
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was crazy. Amy.

191
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Amazon is, as Bill would say, taking a knee for

192
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 5>Trump or kissing the ring.

193
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

194
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Amazon's planning to donate a million dollars to President elect

195
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 5>Trump's inauguration. Jeff Bezos, the founder, is expected to visit

196
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 5>with Trump in person in the next few days. Meta

197
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 5>confirmed on Wednesday that it had donated a million dollars

198
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 5>to the inaugural fund, just two weeks after CEO Mark

199
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.039
<v Speaker 5>Zuckerberg met with Trump privately at mar A Lago.

200
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's you're businessmen.

201
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they have to. And by the way, it's not

202
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>just kissing the ring and bending the knee. It's also

203
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>getting it where the sun don't shine.

204
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Listen, it's business. It is business.

205
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 5>Remember when Trump was first running and everybody was like,

206
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 5>you donated to the Democrats, and he goes, I'm a businessman,

207
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 5>right right, It's true because I donated to everybody, and

208
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 5>the people that.

209
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>He hated he ripped into. As long as they say

210
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I now believe in Trump, he believes in them.

211
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, the minute someone is a Republican and then

212
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 2>becomes an independent, the news always refers to them as

213
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>former Republican. No one ever refers to Trump as former Democrat,

214
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>and he was a Democrat for a long time.

215
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 1>That's right, he was a registered Democrat in the seventies.

216
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>That's correct.

217
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 2>It's I don't know, yeah, it just is what it is,

218
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 2>all right. Over draft fees, we all hate them, and

219
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>this is one of the things that I like that

220
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>the Biden administration is doing. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

221
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>has finalized this rule. It's going to curb excessive overdraft fees.

222
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>So they're going to make it like five bucks, cap

223
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 2>it at five bucks rather than the thirty five dollars

224
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.200
<v Speaker 2>that is typical. And they say this is a potential

225
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>saving savings to customers as much as five billion dollars.

226
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.159
<v Speaker 1>YEP. I find it kind of interesting interesting that it's

227
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.279
<v Speaker 1>happening right now at the end of a Biden administration

228
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 1>and through an Obama administration of eight years that Biden

229
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>was Vice president, and you go really the last month

230
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Biden administration, you've got the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,

231
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>which by the way, is controlled by the Federal by

232
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the Feds the executive Branch, but it has been it

233
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely a shanda, a shame to the biggest level

234
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that banks are allowed to charge thirty five dollars over

235
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Ja'll take it if you take you if you get

236
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 1>overcharged by two dollars, if you go over by two bucks,

237
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and they cover it as a thirty five dollar fee.

238
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 5>Let the resignations begin the first. First of all, we

239
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 5>had the FBI director announced that he is going to

240
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 5>step down, and now the head of the FAA has

241
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 5>also announced he is going to resign before President elect

242
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Trump takes office. The head of the FAA has been

243
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 5>under a lot of taking a lot of heat since

244
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Boeing blew a panel off. And then also they are

245
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 5>working with antiquated equipment. They have a shortage of air

246
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 5>traffic controllers, while you know, consumer demand is very high.

247
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 5>But he says he's going to step down next month,

248
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 5>which clears the way for President elect Trump to name

249
00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 5>his choice for fa Yeah.

250
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how political is this going to be.

251
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Is this one of those positions where it's going to

252
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>go to a loyalist And I don't know because usually

253
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in this case, for example, Whittaker has a long history

254
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 1>of aviation and administration, has been the field most of

255
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 1>his life. So I don't know. Are we going to

256
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>get a loyalist who's an entire credentials are that he

257
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 1>was once on an airplane and therefore he's head of

258
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the FAA.

259
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Now he likes making paper airplanes.

260
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not no accusations here, mind you, but this is

261
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where you know, I don't think

262
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that in many cases, President Trump really cares. I think

263
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>he's going to leave it up to the experts on

264
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>this one. If he does name someone, I'm just guessing here.

265
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 5>Have we heard any rumblings like we had heard he

266
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 5>wanted to replace the FBI director?

267
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>But no, no, no, this came out of the blue.

268
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 1>So maybe the guy just doesn't like that came out

269
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 1>of the wild, blue yonder.

270
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, there's some people. If they were going to

271
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>come and be my boss, I'd probably tap out. Yeah,

272
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gone, all.

273
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, I can yeah, I can agree that. Okay, shut up,

274
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 1>all right.

275
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>The family of Hannah Kobayashi, a strange story, recently found

276
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>safe after being reported missing in Los Angeles last month.

277
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>The family is doing the right thing. They're offering a

278
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>refund of those who donated to an online fundraiser during

279
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the search. They got up to so over eight hundred

280
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>donors raised more than forty seven.

281
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and I have a question. You are that's true?

282
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 1>How much does go fundme take percentage wise? Good?

283
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Quick?

284
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Any idea and I'll tell you why I asked that.

285
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Because you might be able to pay the fees too.

286
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm talking about. Do they refund the fees

287
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 1>that go fundme takes when money goes in?

288
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 5>It's a two point nine percent? How much two point

289
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 5>nine percent plus thirty cents per donation?

290
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So are they thirty cents? Okay? So three percent?

291
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 1>That's that's not the end of the world. That's fifteen

292
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars.

293
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>But and then thirty cents times two.

294
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Hundred and forty bucks, right, Yeah, I mean it's not

295
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the end of the world. But you know, good for

296
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>them for coming to the table on that one.

297
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 2>As you say, a weird story.

298
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and now that.

299
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 5>We know she's okay, we can say that. Every time

300
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 5>I hear this story, I think of Star Trek. Why

301
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 5>why the Kobayashi marud the test that nobody could fit,

302
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 5>that nobody could beat and Kirk beat it. Oh, it

303
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 5>was at all of the Star Trek movies.

304
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I had no idea you were that much of

305
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a Star Trek nerd. That's great.

306
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Beat me on that one. Yeah, I already think of

307
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>hot dog eating contests.

308
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Also very strong. Yeah, and hot dog eating contest won

309
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>by a guy who weighs one hundred and thirty pounds

310
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 1>soaking wet.

311
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I guess that overshadowed. But that's a good pull, Amy, Well,

312
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>good for you. All right, this is depressing.

313
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.680
<v Speaker 5>More than two hundred and thirty three thousand bottles of

314
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 5>an antidepressant have been recalled by public health officials. The

315
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 5>US Food and Drug Administration classified capsules of deloxetine, sold

316
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 5>by Rising Pharmaceuticals is a Class two risk, the risk

317
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 5>level in the FBA FDA's second most severe level, as

318
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 5>they say it could temporarily or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

319
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, risk of cancer with an antidepressants. First time I

320
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>heard that. So if you take this and you get cancer,

321
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>you really don't care.

322
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh me, oh my, what about who else? Let's

323
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>see handle your on antidepressants?

324
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, heavy ones, any heavy else? Lamictol? I take it?

325
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh cono on antidepressants.

326
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, all the guys. Oh yeah, and don't to us.

327
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I remember my kids were in school and Barbara needed

328
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>she was she needed some help in that regard, and

329
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go to school and tell her. And

330
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Marjorie said, we can't tell the school. I oh, you

331
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 1>have to tell the school. Yeah, but it'll be in

332
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the file that you know. It's horrible. She has antidepressants.

333
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.640
<v Speaker 1>We can't let them know. I go, you have to

334
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>let them know. So she goes there and we go

335
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 1>to the school and really embarrassingly, we say she is

336
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 1>on antidepressants, and the nurse said, yeah, sixty percent of

337
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 1>our students are. Okay, we're done.

338
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 2>She went to the doctor. The doctor said, well, maybe

339
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a new dad might help.

340
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well even the doctor was on antidepressants. Okay, let's

341
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>move on.

342
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Take some of mine, all right, Stanley the Big Cup Craze,

343
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>their mugs are everywhere. Now this is a particular one

344
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 2>of their particular styles. D only issue a recall a

345
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.200
<v Speaker 2>two point six million of these popular drink wears switchback

346
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and trigger action stainless steel travel mugs. So they've got

347
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 2>a defect and they're worried about burns. So what happens

348
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 2>is the lid and the threads on the lid they

349
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 2>shrink when exposed to heat and torque and that means

350
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the lid can pop off, posing a burn hazard if

351
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you have something, you know, one hundred and forty degrees

352
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>or above, so.

353
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.720
<v Speaker 1>You gets don't play hockey if you have a Stanley

354
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Is that not Stanley cup?

355
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:35.839
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

356
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Come on, it was a stretch, A stretch I'm allowed.

357
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.319
<v Speaker 1>They can't all work. Matter of fact, very few of

358
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 1>them work.

359
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Some of them work, very few, occasionally.

360
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 5>Beefing up the bennies. The Senate is pushing to vote

361
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 5>on legislation that would provide full social security benefits to

362
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 5>millions of people, setting up potential passage in the final

363
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 5>days of the lame Duck Congress. So it's called the

364
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.640
<v Speaker 5>Social Security Fairness Act, and it would eliminate policies that

365
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.799
<v Speaker 5>limit social Security payouts to about two point eight million people.

366
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.640
<v Speaker 5>And those people are people who receive a pension from

367
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 5>a job that is not covered by Social Security and

368
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.319
<v Speaker 5>surviving spouses of social security recipients who receive a government

369
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.400
<v Speaker 5>pension of their own.

370
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there are certain parts of social Security that sort

371
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of miss. It's really complicated stuff. And so this one

372
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 1>they're going ahead and I just I guess plugging the hole.

373
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And they've been asked about this a lot of people

374
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 1>in the millions that have been pushing for this for

375
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a very long time because they're screwed. You asked them

376
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 1>out of Social Security benefits. By the way, that of

377
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.079
<v Speaker 1>course adds to the trillions of dollars of deficit that

378
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have.

379
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:59.720
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Canada says, you're a boot to feel my wrath.

380
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Canada could retaliate against President elect Donald Trump, who is

381
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.759
<v Speaker 2>threatening tariffs, and they say we're going to shut down

382
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.480
<v Speaker 2>energy flows to the United States. So now you're looking

383
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 2>at what's that New York State, Wisconsin.

384
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>The whole Northeast gets most of his power from Canada.

385
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 1>If this thing, if these tariffs tariffs go through, there's

386
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be retaliatory tariffs and we're going to be in

387
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a full scale trade war. And if you don't think

388
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that's going to affect our prices.

389
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Are we just going to annex them? I'm just going

390
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to say, Okay, there's a lot of people that would

391
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.480
<v Speaker 2>love to be members of the big states of the

392
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 2>United States.

393
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>You got people in Newfoundland which are called New Fees Labrador,

394
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 1>which that's those guys are all well, you can say

395
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 1>they're never mind. I was going to do another one

396
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 1>of those that you were going to ask A bad joke. Yeah, yeah,

397
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 1>another bad joke. But the point is it's going to

398
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>be a full scale trade war if President elect Trump

399
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>goes ahead and pops in those those terrorists, which you

400
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>can't I mean, he can wake up in the morning,

401
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>goes I think we're gonna throw thirty percent tariff on

402
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 1>China or whatever country. It's gonna it's gonna be nuts

403
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>because certain things they can't do because we buy so much,

404
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 1>they buy so much from us, it's pretty nuts. It's

405
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna go crazy. And I don't and by the way,

406
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't think Trump

407
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to I don't think Trump is going to

408
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 1>institute those terrorists. I think this is a lot of

409
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 1>uh not even so much bluster and negotiating tactic is

410
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 1>what I think.

411
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a negotiating tast Yeah.

412
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.319
<v Speaker 1>And we'll see, we'll see. I certainly Biden doesn't do this.

413
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Like your tariffed. You you're tariffed, all right, let's go ahead.

414
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.559
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I can't even say Biden anymore as

415
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 1>any kind of relevancy when it comes to US policy

416
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>because there's just not a lot of relevancy at all.

417
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much. There has been very status.

418
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Uck what there has never been a lamer duck, well said,

419
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Well said till the.

420
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Evil Empires stepping up its attacks. Russia launched a new

421
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:19.640
<v Speaker 5>widespread attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure overnight. The country has

422
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.440
<v Speaker 5>implemented emergency power outages. They don't know exactly how much

423
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 5>damage has been done yesterday, but they're asking people to

424
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 5>stay in shelters. Streets in the capital city of Kiev

425
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 5>remained largely empty this morning, as Ukraine's air force warned

426
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 5>of the threat of ballistic and cruise missiles that could

427
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 5>be targeting parts of the country any day now.

428
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.680
<v Speaker 1>If Russia wins the war, it'll be because of this

429
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>taking out the power infrastructure of Ukraine, because they'll basically

430
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>be lighting all of Ukraine with either torches or campfires.

431
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.079
<v Speaker 1>It's just battery.

432
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 2>What's the reality bill of Russia taking over Ukraine as

433
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>it pertains to the US Russia.

434
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>If Russia wins, it won't be Ukraine, all of Ukraine.

435
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:13.319
<v Speaker 1>It'll simply be the eastern part of Ukraine, which Putin

436
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 1>said has always been part of Russia. And it was

437
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 1>for many years back and forth. It's the don Bass

438
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>area of Ukraine, and that's the way it's going to go.

439
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 5>Why is that strategic for them?

440
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Because it's not a question so much a strategic First

441
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 1>of all, it's another buffer against NATO if that part

442
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:35.920
<v Speaker 1>becomes Russia. But more importantly, Putin thinks and believes in

443
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 1>his heart and soul, and we're going back to the

444
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.440
<v Speaker 1>time when he was a KGB officer, right, and he

445
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 1>went into the KGB and he entered politics or entered

446
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:49.359
<v Speaker 1>service that he truly believes Ukraine is part of Russia.

447
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.599
<v Speaker 1>It's the heart of Russia actually where Russia actually started

448
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>back in the Middle Ages.

449
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Why didnt care about it?

450
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Why do we care about it? Because again, the buffer

451
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and the philosophy, if he's willing to take that, does

452
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>he then take poland does he then take uh other?

453
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Get it?

454
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.160
<v Speaker 1>That's it, that's the fear. That's the fear. And Ukraine

455
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:17.519
<v Speaker 1>is a democracy and Russia is not, and it's just

456
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 1>another superpower coming in and just grabbing land. It's akin

457
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to what happened in World War Two nineteen thirty eight

458
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with Hitler taking over Czechoslovakia, where the Western power. Just

459
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>let him take it here, just go ahead and take it.

460
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And look what happened. And they're comparing their comparing Putin

461
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to to Hitler, and it's and Putin wants a greater Russia.

462
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't care about the Soviet Union. He just wants

463
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Russia to be this huge dominant power in the lands

464
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that it had. It's a whole philosophy thing. It's scary,

465
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and it scares the crap out of everybody.

466
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 2>No, I get I get it, and that's what I thought.

467
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know why there's so much push pushbacks,

468
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 2>pushback from people here in the United States.

469
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Because it is a democracy, and at some point you

470
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>stand up for it. Now a lot of people say

471
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not worth it, But who knows.

472
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.759
<v Speaker 2>If he's bigger and badder, it would be it'd be

473
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.359
<v Speaker 2>a problem.

474
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's and that's the fear. There's going to be

475
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a problem.

476
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:19.799
<v Speaker 2>All right. So surprising, this is news. More than one

477
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollars in marijuana weighing ninety thousand pounds was

478
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:30.359
<v Speaker 2>seized from San Bernardino County. Con No, you're from the county,

479
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.160
<v Speaker 2>not the city. You're out there in San burdu.

480
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the county. I don't think it's okay wherever

481
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the hell that is?

482
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.759
<v Speaker 2>No, that's not a topic like a home pass. Oh

483
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:41.359
<v Speaker 2>is it the first thy right there?

484
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 1>How did they figure one hundred million dollars worth? Because

485
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.119
<v Speaker 1>ninety thousand pounds is a wholesale h if they if

486
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>they figured it out, well, this was valued. If they

487
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 1>valued it at at per joint, at an individual joint price,

488
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 1>it's probably in the billions and billions of dollars. If

489
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you have ninety thousand pounds of the stuff and you're

490
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.640
<v Speaker 1>selling it a joint at a time, you know at

491
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 1>what level of distribution? I don't know, but anything.

492
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Watching Kono do the math, Yeah.

493
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing the math.

494
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 2>A lot of pounds sells it a joint? They don't.

495
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 5>It's only it's only eleven hundred eleven dollars per pound?

496
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Then did I do the math backwards?

497
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:29.039
<v Speaker 1>That is, so eleven hundred dollars a pound pot goes

498
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 1>for a lot more than that a pound. It depends

499
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 1>on that, I guess, depends on the quality. I don't

500
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 1>even know. It's been so long since I smoke pot.

501
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 5>That's a bargain basement.

502
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess it's I guess it's wholesale. I guess

503
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 1>it's wholesale. Wholesale at the distribution level, cutting out the middleman.

504
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.920
<v Speaker 5>There were three thousand trash bags filled with weed stack

505
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.920
<v Speaker 5>twelve feet high in the building.

506
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's a lot. Okay.

507
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 5>California is cracking down on not only marijuana but also

508
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:04.039
<v Speaker 5>people parking. It's called the daylighting Law. It's been in

509
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 5>effect for a while, but they've been issuing warnings, but

510
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 5>starting on January first, they're going to stop issuing warnings

511
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.759
<v Speaker 5>and start issuing tickets to vehicle owners caught breaking the law.

512
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.440
<v Speaker 5>It's anyone who parks within twenty feet of any crosswalk

513
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:20.640
<v Speaker 5>or fifteen feet of a crosswalk that has extended curbs.

514
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>This is it's one of those things where you're pulling

515
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 1>out and there's a car parked so close to you

516
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:30.039
<v Speaker 1>you can't see it, especially if it's a big SUV

517
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>pulling out of a driveway right and you look and

518
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>there's the car blocking the view and you don't see

519
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 1>cars coming, So the chances of you getting t boned

520
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.839
<v Speaker 1>are pretty high. You ever noticed that as you pull

521
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.359
<v Speaker 1>out of a driveway and you can't see I mean,

522
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you're scared and you go, yeah, that you do it

523
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 1>inch by inch?

524
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>What that's what this has to do with.

525
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:54.599
<v Speaker 1>No, No, this is even worse because this is for

526
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a crosswalks where people can't see. I mean, frankly, I'm

527
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>not much of a pedestrians. So if someone you know,

528
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is hit and flies forty feet in the air, but

529
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:08.319
<v Speaker 1>if I'm pulling out of a driveway and I can't

530
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 1>see something, they have to change that. It's the law.

531
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>They have to change that.

532
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I was actually in your car with you one day

533
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.039
<v Speaker 2>when you drove over someone. We're at some event. You

534
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 2>drove over someone's foot.

535
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh I do remember that. Yeah, yeah, and I remember

536
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I pointed the finger at you, screaming he did it,

537
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.119
<v Speaker 1>he did it?

538
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 2>And I said, I'm.

539
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I think, by the way, that's a true story. I

540
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>did actually run over someone. They weren't hurt or anything,

541
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 1>but still I don't know if I actually ran over

542
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 1>that person's foot, but certainly it looked like part of

543
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the tire built it. Bump thump. Yeah, all right, guys,
