Speaker 5: For four days. It was it was, it was bad.
Speaker 5: It was worse than the first time in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5: So like the twenty twenty five version, it's it's worse.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's we've gotten it. Anybody else will help?
Speaker 2: Will Will's gotten the COVID.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh maybe at least three times.
Speaker 2: Three times, three times. I mean, that's weird.
Speaker 1: I mean I've had the crabs three times, but that
Speaker 1: is you know, a whole different set of circumstances.
Speaker 3: You know, if you were an Orthodox, you would you
Speaker 3: be allowed to have crabs.
Speaker 2: No, that's very funny.
Speaker 1: I like that, look because, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I once had him so bad I actually considered negotiating
Speaker 1: with Red Lobster to see if they would be interested.
Speaker 3: At least it wasn't for the cheese biscuits.
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody having breakfast. It didn't take us very long,
Speaker 1: did it, Neil, Good.
Speaker 3: Morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf. Good to have you back. Kono.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is also and his back.
Speaker 1: But she was at the one day you were at
Speaker 1: the Beyonce concert, right, Yes, I was, and she.
Speaker 2: Did her cowboy cowgirl.
Speaker 3: Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 4: All cowboy Carter.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Was it wasn't at the super Bowl where she did
Speaker 1: her thing, was it?
Speaker 2: Or she came out and did the whole car.
Speaker 1: I think it may have been with the cowboy cowboy
Speaker 1: Carter thing with all the white Cadillacs.
Speaker 2: And those outfits that she did. What am I? What
Speaker 2: am I missing?
Speaker 3: Where was that?
Speaker 2: Lamar?
Speaker 4: So I don't know?
Speaker 1: Okay, then I'm then I'm missing what would have been
Speaker 1: it was at but it was a ludicrous anyway, Will
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning, there you are, and Amy, good morning.
Speaker 2: Well, hi Bill, Hey, we're all here. We're all there.
Speaker 2: Hey real quickly. Uh.
Speaker 1: We're putting together this June seventh thing where it's we're
Speaker 1: all going to have dinner. We are going to have
Speaker 1: dinner together, and we're going to invite five people plus one,
Speaker 1: so it'll be five couples to join us at the
Speaker 1: Anaheim White House. We've never done that where all of
Speaker 1: us get together and you get to hang with us,
Speaker 1: and then it's at the Anaheim White House. Because you
Speaker 1: know what Bruno does, I mean, it's insanity the kind
Speaker 1: of food that he has, it's so good. And so
Speaker 1: we have to try to figure out a way how
Speaker 1: do we choose the five people. You know, we want
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more than just at random
Speaker 1: you write, you come in, Uh, and we have.
Speaker 2: To figure that out.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: What we should do is have them to right in
Speaker 3: with their address and then, you know, the six of
Speaker 3: us go out to their house when they're sleeping and
Speaker 3: shine a flashlight in the windows to see if there's
Speaker 3: someone we want to have dinner with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great idea. It's as good as anything
Speaker 1: has come down the pipe.
Speaker 3: That's how I decided whether I was going to join
Speaker 3: the Morning Short I.
Speaker 2: Know, that's exactly.
Speaker 3: That's almost went.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's almost. How about this, we have to think
Speaker 2: of a way of doing it.
Speaker 1: We have a contest that the winner tells us what contest.
Speaker 1: We have to choose the winner. In other words, we
Speaker 1: don't like that idea either. What was the other one
Speaker 1: that was thrown about?
Speaker 2: Oh, trying to find a name for my house?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, I had no problem with the Persian Palace.
Speaker 1: What do I do now? I can't do Persian Palace?
Speaker 1: Do Persian palace? Do you know?
Speaker 3: I don't know the name their house? Anybody else go
Speaker 3: home to there?
Speaker 2: The president?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The president?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Gracie mansion in New York named after Gracie.
Speaker 2: Grace land Well said, yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was talking about the the other five of us.
Speaker 3: Anybody go home to their No, I didn't think so.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. But we have to figure
Speaker 2: something out.
Speaker 1: We've got to figure out a way to uh, to
Speaker 1: get to a winner other than just you write in
Speaker 1: your name and we pull it out of a hat, which.
Speaker 2: I don't think they do anymore. I think it's an
Speaker 2: algorithm now, or something that.
Speaker 1: Goes into a pile and then at random some numbers chosen,
Speaker 1: that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: All right, Oh, that's it for that. Why don't we
Speaker 2: do this?
Speaker 3: How about shickxel Largo.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's not bad, Shisa Largo. You know what, that's
Speaker 2: not bad. Let me run in by the Shiksa and
Speaker 2: see what she has to say.
Speaker 7: I would imagine anything that had to do with logo
Speaker 7: would not fly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's especially with her. Yeah, that's probably true. All right,
Speaker 1: let's do it, guys. We could spend a long time
Speaker 1: on that, but it's time for some news with everybody
Speaker 1: who is back, which is nice handle on the news
Speaker 1: with Amy and Neil and me lead story and alone
Speaker 1: damn well, China is, well, we're playing Chicken Orange Chicken
Speaker 1: with China exactly. And China says, we are not going
Speaker 1: to do it. There's no way we're going to cave
Speaker 1: on this. And the Trump administration, who was it was
Speaker 1: Bennett who said that it's unsustainable for China to continue
Speaker 1: on with these terraffs. It's unsustainable for us too, and
Speaker 1: we're going to see who caves.
Speaker 2: One hundred and four. I told you yesterday. I was
Speaker 2: talking to my you know, my partner.
Speaker 1: Sample we are at one hundred and eighty five percent
Speaker 1: tariffs right now.
Speaker 8: Why are you forty percent more than one hundred and forty.
Speaker 1: Five Because what ends up happening is if a product
Speaker 1: is made out of steel or aluminium, and the twenty
Speaker 1: percent tariff is added to that if the product is
Speaker 1: made out of it, and then a couple of other
Speaker 1: tariffs that are thrown in there, some technical stuff, and
Speaker 1: we're one hundred and eighty five percent and we're bringing
Speaker 1: in a shipment and we have to we're going to.
Speaker 2: Lose money on it. But it's just it's crazy. So
Speaker 2: and China says, too bad.
Speaker 1: They're shutting down factories in China like nuts I mean
Speaker 1: it's not as if they're not being affected dramatically.
Speaker 2: It's been a right now.
Speaker 1: Probably China's being affected more than we are, but they're
Speaker 1: staying firm.
Speaker 2: I mean, there is no question about it.
Speaker 3: Doug.
Speaker 2: Could China was playing the long game?
Speaker 3: What could we legally take away their right to own
Speaker 3: any property in the United States?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could.
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be grandfathered in up to this point.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're not Chinese. Say you couldn't do that,
Speaker 1: But you can say.
Speaker 3: Foreigners not Chinese China, like if they're Chinese nationals.
Speaker 2: Well, those are individuals. So here's the thing.
Speaker 3: A lot, a lot of even in my area is
Speaker 3: buying being bought up by China.
Speaker 1: China per se, and not Chinese, not Chinese people.
Speaker 3: The government of China's buying your Chinese. They're Chinese businesses,
Speaker 3: they're not local.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that. But then again, ownership, it happens.
Speaker 2: All over the world.
Speaker 3: Where you're like Mexico, Mexico, they could take your property
Speaker 3: at any time if you're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think you could in the United States.
Speaker 1: I think you can make it illegal. You say there
Speaker 1: has to be American ownership, that happens all over the
Speaker 1: world where you have to have at least fifty one
Speaker 1: percent owned by a local resident or a national country.
Speaker 2: Gun.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking, how would you turn this how
Speaker 3: would you turn it up on China at this point, because.
Speaker 2: Well you could. I mean, there's all all maner of things.
Speaker 1: The way it's being done, the cleanest way, even though
Speaker 1: it's obviously pretty serious stuff, is the tariffs.
Speaker 2: Those go in immediately done.
Speaker 1: They happen tonight and the prison declares two hundred percent
Speaker 1: tariff starts at midnight. He can do that at eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock in the evening and say he kicks in in
Speaker 1: an hour, and so the rest of it is really difficult.
Speaker 1: It talks about las be past tariffs are the way
Speaker 1: to go right.
Speaker 2: Now, and it's this is brutal. This is brutal.
Speaker 3: Do you think the Maga hats are going to be
Speaker 3: more expensive because I think those are made in China.
Speaker 2: I think they are, or a lot of them are.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the guy demanding to be let in is out.
Speaker 7: So if you'll recall there was an Italian cardinal at
Speaker 7: the heart of the Vatican's Trial of the Century. It's
Speaker 7: Cardinal Angelo Betschu I'm not sure if I'm saying that right.
Speaker 7: So he said that he's going to withdraw from the
Speaker 7: enclave for the good of the church. He was convicted
Speaker 7: of fraud and embezzlement in twenty twenty, and after he
Speaker 7: got in trouble for all of this in twenty twenty,
Speaker 7: he said he wouldn't participate in any future conclaves, but
Speaker 7: then he recently said, hey, I have the right to
Speaker 7: be there. I'm going to be in the Sistine Chapel
Speaker 7: with the Arthur Cardinals starting on May seventh, and I'm
Speaker 7: going to be part of this process. But then yesterday
Speaker 7: he said, I have decided to obey, as I always
Speaker 7: have done, the will of Pope Francis, not to enter
Speaker 7: the conclave. While remaining convinced of my innocence.
Speaker 1: He got caught selling tickets to the other Cardinals to
Speaker 1: go through the door.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, are they gonna uh? Are they going to
Speaker 3: rename him? The Cardinals sin.
Speaker 1: Almost like no, no, it doesn't now, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, And then we go right into what kind
Speaker 1: of baseball team do these Cardinals have?
Speaker 2: Very strong? Okay, moving on.
Speaker 3: Neil, who's on third? Uh, ups just announced yesterday it's
Speaker 3: planning to cut twenty thousand jobs. Everyone's cutting jobs part
Speaker 3: of a cost cutting effort that's linked to the delivery
Speaker 3: giant's decision to deliver fewer packages from Amazon. Now Amazon's
Speaker 3: their biggest customer. I'm not sure what has motivated that,
Speaker 3: but the shipping company operates in over two hundred countries
Speaker 3: currently around gosh knocking on the door of half a
Speaker 3: million employees, about four ninety and the layoffs will impact
Speaker 3: about four percent of the workforce. And you know, they're
Speaker 3: looking at getting closing seventy three of its buildings by
Speaker 3: the end of June. Big doings, it is.
Speaker 1: And I think they anticipate just less business also from Amazon.
Speaker 7: Actually, I have a little clarification for you on this.
Speaker 7: They are going to do less business with Amazon because
Speaker 7: it says their margins are low. They you know, because
Speaker 7: they do all that business that makes sense. So they're
Speaker 7: going to specialize in more more high end or leve.
Speaker 2: That makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: You go to the UPS store, for example, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna pay X dollars to ship a product right in
Speaker 1: a box.
Speaker 2: You go to a.
Speaker 1: Small company like mine, we do it per container right
Speaker 1: where we ship, we ship hundreds packages daily. You do
Speaker 1: it on a level of a major retailer that ships thousands,
Speaker 1: tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands a day, you're going
Speaker 1: to get paid very little.
Speaker 2: And they are.
Speaker 1: What they do is they bid against each other. That's
Speaker 1: why you see some of these companies going from UPS
Speaker 1: to FedEx to DHL back to UPS because everybody is bidding.
Speaker 1: It's like coke and pepsi at restaurants. Whoever gets the
Speaker 1: best deal and companies switch all the time. So that's
Speaker 1: what happens in this business. Makes a lot of sense, Amy,
Speaker 1: that they're just going to concentrate on on business that
Speaker 1: just has better margins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great insight.
Speaker 8: Oh it's my turn again.
Speaker 3: You're too busy informing us, Amy, Uh.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 7: So Pete Haig Seth May has stepped in it just
Speaker 7: a little bit.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 7: He announced yesterday that he was ending the Defense Department's
Speaker 7: women Peace and Security program. He said it was a
Speaker 7: Biden initiative, but it was actually enacted during Trump's first
Speaker 7: term and championed by daughter Ivanka Trump and Secretary of
Speaker 7: Saint Marco Rubio when he was in the Senate was
Speaker 7: a big backer of this one. So he went on
Speaker 7: and he said, I proudly ended the women piece and
Speaker 7: security program inside the Department of Defense. It's another woke,
Speaker 7: divisive social justice Biden initiative. Well then he backtracked a
Speaker 7: little bit and he said in a follow up post, Well,
Speaker 7: the initiative was straightforward in security, foe because when it
Speaker 7: was enacted in twenty seventeen, but then it was ruined
Speaker 7: by by the right and Biden.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: I was looking at some of the horrific weather reports
Speaker 1: yesterday because there's some life threatening weather that's going across
Speaker 1: the eastern Seaboard. I had no idea that the Democrats
Speaker 1: were responsible for the weather yesterday, none whatsoever.
Speaker 2: You know what moving on?
Speaker 3: Isn't it like a kid that doesn't want to eat
Speaker 3: something because his brother looked at it or something. It was.
Speaker 3: It was a great idea at first, but then Biden
Speaker 3: looked at it ruined it. Yeah, now we're going to
Speaker 3: get rid of it.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, harnish.
Speaker 3: It's pretty insane out there, all right, Los Angeles, speaking
Speaker 3: of crappy budgets and people getting fired under a new
Speaker 3: budget proposal. We all heard about this. Major cuts come
Speaker 3: into the city of angels, but in this case it
Speaker 3: means nearly half. I mean, it sounds huge, but I
Speaker 3: think we have like six, So it'd be three of them.
Speaker 3: Half of the city's animal shelters would close.
Speaker 2: You know, we have more than that? Is it just
Speaker 2: to that is there's more than six, aren't there?
Speaker 3: I thought it was scanning scanning. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: that many.
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know the stories about the West Valley where the
Speaker 1: big animal shelters are during fires, they take that the
Speaker 1: large animals read horses and cows and things.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there are six, they're to shut down three of them.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, you know the story.
Speaker 3: Listen, it's horrible regardless. But you say, out of the
Speaker 3: six they're shutting down three, it's like fifty percent of it.
Speaker 1: Well it's still, it's still fifty percent. That's still and
Speaker 1: already shelters are at a max.
Speaker 3: And you look at the problem. Why they're at so full,
Speaker 3: you know, because there's only for people to ye, no,
Speaker 3: but maybe make it tougher for people to get animals
Speaker 3: and uh, and how you know how they raise them?
Speaker 3: And why are they so full? How can we have
Speaker 3: so many animals? How can we're not space.
Speaker 1: Well because well, because we used to have kill shelters, right,
Speaker 1: a dog would go into the pound and gone, and
Speaker 1: now relatively few are so there's more animals out there,
Speaker 1: and well it's.
Speaker 2: It's a lot more Complicentdore.
Speaker 3: COVID and stuff got animals when they you know, I
Speaker 3: think people are selfish. Animals are a commitment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get it's a bad thing to do.
Speaker 4: Shutting one down is bad.
Speaker 3: Well, I do you understand that it's a bad thing
Speaker 3: to do. But I mean, if you're going to go
Speaker 3: between uh, spending money on human needs in the city
Speaker 3: versus what else are you gonna call?
Speaker 2: How much?
Speaker 4: How much more do we want to throw at the homeless?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to. I could all the money
Speaker 3: could go to animals instead of the home.
Speaker 6: I'm just you know, the homeless animals are already suffering
Speaker 6: and beingsidy.
Speaker 1: Do weize blue factories next to some of these?
Speaker 2: Never mind?
Speaker 8: Bill?
Speaker 2: What I swear to God?
Speaker 4: I know where you love?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: Actually I don't know the new address?
Speaker 2: I do I have it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: She does.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 1: I could have made another joke, could have gone the
Speaker 1: other way. But I'm not going to.
Speaker 3: You're never gonna cut anything and have someone be happy
Speaker 3: about it. But we're a billion dollars in the hole.
Speaker 3: Somebody did something stupid.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think the animals should be suffering for
Speaker 6: this because of all the horrible decisions that are elected.
Speaker 2: Leader. She's an animal fan.
Speaker 7: She this is she's animal fans.
Speaker 2: Well, not so much an animal fan. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean an animal Yeah, okay, fine, I think they're
Speaker 2: delicious when I cut my losses too, you know. Well yeah, whatever,
Speaker 2: all right, we're done.
Speaker 1: Okay, we can go on for this like this for
Speaker 1: hours and hours an hours.
Speaker 3: No one finds a cow or a pig in the shelter,
Speaker 3: is all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 2: Actually that's not true.
Speaker 1: The big animal shelters there are, they don't have to
Speaker 1: be well, you.
Speaker 2: Can't let them out.
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, we get going on, sound effect, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: do this. This went in a weird direct. This went
Speaker 1: in a weird direction.
Speaker 8: Automakers and customers might be.
Speaker 7: Able to breathe a little easier, not much. President Trump
Speaker 7: has signed an executive order and a proclamation to ease
Speaker 7: auto tariffs. So apparently the twenty five percent tarafone imported
Speaker 7: cars will continue, and a new twenty five percent tariffon
Speaker 7: auto parts will go into effect this weekend. But there's
Speaker 7: some new fine print, and that is that the Trump
Speaker 7: action allows for reimbursements for domestic car producers who are
Speaker 7: importing car parts. So Trump said the reimbursements will help
Speaker 7: give US car companies a little bit of a break.
Speaker 1: You know, it's every day it's different. I mean literally
Speaker 1: every day it's different. And the part of the story
Speaker 1: that I find fascinating is that these major car companies
Speaker 1: issued their responses or their statements, all of them thanking
Speaker 1: the president profusely.
Speaker 2: You knocked ten percent off one.
Speaker 1: Hundred and forty or one hundred and eighty, and you
Speaker 1: knock them off. Oh, thank you, thank you. We're looking
Speaker 1: forward to working with you. I mean, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: are you running that scared?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You are. They are.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how business is running scared. Well, look at
Speaker 1: what we reported yesterday. Look at what's going on with
Speaker 1: that sixty minute story, and how the lawsuit that Trump
Speaker 1: filed against sixty minutes for twenty billion dollars because it
Speaker 1: was an unfair lawsuit. It was an unfair interview with
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris when he was running against which she was
Speaker 1: running against him, and so instead of a major news
Speaker 1: outlet telling him to go pound sand which every single
Speaker 1: media attorney says that Trump has no chance of winning,
Speaker 1: Paramount is in negotiations to settle the lawsuit because Sherry
Speaker 1: Redstone has to once to sell the company and needs
Speaker 1: the Trump okay for it needs the administration.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: You know, I have got a collection gotten it has
Speaker 2: gotten crazy.
Speaker 3: What I have a recollection going back to our news director,
Speaker 3: Chris Little. I can't remember the circumstance, but I because
Speaker 3: I did a lot of the photo shopping and things
Speaker 3: like that design work for KFI back then, and I
Speaker 3: gave him a picture that we were going to use
Speaker 3: on the website, and he said, we can't use that
Speaker 3: for the news because you've altered it and there's certain limitations.
Speaker 3: And then I remember, I don't want to say it's
Speaker 3: the La Times because I'm not sure it might have
Speaker 3: been New York I'm not sure, but they got popped
Speaker 3: for slightly altering a photo because it was used in
Speaker 3: the news and you can't do that the photo. The
Speaker 3: photo can't be editorialized at all, and that's stuck with me.
Speaker 3: And I think that I think it's not just about Trump.
Speaker 3: I think it's a bigger deal than you play it
Speaker 3: some times that it's not about editing for you know,
Speaker 3: for time, but I'm sure the content is concise. One
Speaker 3: is causibility of editing you know someone, Yeah, but when there's.
Speaker 1: Use of a likeness, not use of likeness. This is
Speaker 1: copyright rules that you're getting involved with. This is a
Speaker 1: straight out You did a this was a.
Speaker 3: Copyright This was you couldn't do anything to the photo
Speaker 3: that changed.
Speaker 1: Well, how do you do how let me ask, how
Speaker 1: do you do a three hour interview and you bring
Speaker 1: it down to seven minutes without editing it?
Speaker 3: That's editing it down. That's understood my po.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what sixty minutes said.
Speaker 3: Is for instance, uh, sixty minutes. This was an old
Speaker 3: joke that sixty minutes used to do. When it's the
Speaker 3: bad guy who's talking, it's it's a close up. The
Speaker 3: reason why you do that or a lower shot. The
Speaker 3: reason why you do that is the same reason why
Speaker 3: cinematographers do it is it changes your mood towards an image.
Speaker 3: So when you push in on someone's face, their eye twitches,
Speaker 3: their mouth.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. You know, I don't know
Speaker 2: if that was the case. I would love to know
Speaker 2: if that was the case. You know, what if that
Speaker 2: was the case.
Speaker 1: Matter if of course they do. Of course there's a bias.
Speaker 1: Of course there's a bias. I'm not arguing that. All
Speaker 1: I'm saying is the twenty billion dollars in damage that
Speaker 1: somehow was sustained.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just.
Speaker 3: Saying about the integrity.
Speaker 1: No, I understand, but there's there's always bias. There is
Speaker 1: always bias, no matter what you do. You wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning and you have bias. Right.
Speaker 7: Problem this one is that CBS showed the answer that
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris gave, and then when they played it again later,
Speaker 7: they had edited to make her sound more articulate and understood.
Speaker 2: And I guess that there's no question.
Speaker 8: If they hadn't done that.
Speaker 2: But let me but let me ask you something.
Speaker 1: How was the How was Trump damage to the point
Speaker 1: of ten or twenty billion dollars by making her seem
Speaker 1: more more lucid?
Speaker 3: If that's possible, that's a whole different thing.
Speaker 2: Explain that to me.
Speaker 3: I don't think he's got a case.
Speaker 2: No, but the issue is now we're going back to
Speaker 2: the terri if.
Speaker 1: The issue here is everybody is running so scared that
Speaker 1: now you have CBS actually negotiating with them. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: pay you some money. We're sorry we did that. That
Speaker 1: is the problem. And you know, I mean, there's no issue.
Speaker 1: I mean you added anything. I mean I was lucky.
Speaker 1: For example, my sixteen minute interview. They actually made me
Speaker 1: look like a good guy. And I had already practice
Speaker 1: running down the street with a file covering my face
Speaker 1: because I knew which way it was going to go.
Speaker 2: And I happen to be lucky. They liked me.
Speaker 3: Three minute interview out of a three hour interview.
Speaker 2: They liked me, so I was. I was very lucky.
Speaker 2: But that's not the point.
Speaker 3: I care about the money. I think he's doing this
Speaker 3: so that we talk, so that people know I don't
Speaker 3: trust the news.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think. Well, yeah that's a given.
Speaker 3: That's all Lias. That's worth more than the money.
Speaker 2: You know what. We are spending way too much time.
Speaker 1: My fault also on needories like we have to Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have to edit it down. We've got a lot
Speaker 1: of stories to cover, so let's go back and zip
Speaker 1: through them.
Speaker 2: No vowels, only consonants for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 2: It's your turn, Neil, Neil, it's your turn. Yeah. Wait,
Speaker 2: oh boy, we're having quite a morning, aren't we. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll do Neil's.
Speaker 3: Wait wait wait, wait, wait on missing seven.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, well okay, well, just GM recalls six hundred thousand SUVs.
Speaker 2: That's all escalades and you can look it up. GM recall.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Okay, Amy, Trump.
Speaker 8: And Bezos new besties.
Speaker 7: Resident Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos yesterday after uh
Speaker 7: they got wind that Amazon was considering displaying the cost
Speaker 7: of US tariffs next prices for products on its website.
Speaker 7: Senior officials told Trump about it. They were all mad. Said, hey,
Speaker 7: we had a good call, he said. Bezos was very nice,
Speaker 7: he was terrific, and he solved the problem very quickly.
Speaker 7: Amazon apparently is not going to be listing the tariffs
Speaker 7: out separately.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look that way.
Speaker 3: Some of the other sites like Timu and the like do.
Speaker 7: But well, Team Mos stuff only costs a dollar, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, right, it's going to be two bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Starter homes.
Speaker 3: You used to get a starter home, then you sell it,
Speaker 3: work your way up well. In more than two hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty US cities, including one hundred and thirteen of
Speaker 3: course here in California, one million dollars is the starting
Speaker 3: price for a starter home. This is a new report.
Speaker 3: Zilo analyst found that the typical starter home is worth
Speaker 3: at least one million dollars in these two hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty three cities as of March. Now, if you look
Speaker 3: back years ago, you had just eighty five cities had
Speaker 3: million dollars starter homes, but now it has become no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be fair though.
Speaker 1: California of course the most expensive place, but you have
Speaker 1: to look at things not in just sheer numbers, but
Speaker 1: per capita. Because if California has forty million people and
Speaker 1: you have a state that has ten million people, okay,
Speaker 1: of course California will have more, but it's you have
Speaker 1: to look per capita.
Speaker 2: That's the only way you know.
Speaker 1: It's like lapd has ten thousand or ninety eight hundred cops. Well,
Speaker 1: Houston has as many cops, and it's a city with far, far,
Speaker 1: far fewer people.
Speaker 2: It's all per capita.
Speaker 3: It still California, New York, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's miserable. You can't afford it no matter what.
Speaker 1: Everybody's moving out.
Speaker 7: So the EV push is so successful we're running out
Speaker 7: of money to fix the roads. California's gas tax is
Speaker 7: fifty nine cents a gallon, and it is the primary
Speaker 7: source of state funding for highways and roads. But as
Speaker 7: more people move to electric vehicles, the gas tax revenues
Speaker 7: have fallen. Gas tax is raised forty one percent of
Speaker 7: transportation revenue in twenty sixteen. By twenty twenty four it
Speaker 7: was thirty six percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's going south. There's no question there is.
Speaker 1: It's you're going against the middle here and they've got
Speaker 1: to figure something out. And the more money and the
Speaker 1: more they push evs, less revenue the state's going to
Speaker 1: get from sale of gas. So it's a use tax
Speaker 1: basically X number of miles you drive, which is fair.
Speaker 3: Which well, kno gets COVID and now nobody cares about
Speaker 3: authorizing COVID vaccines in the government. Coincidence maybe not so.
Speaker 3: The head of the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday
Speaker 3: that the agency is now looking at whether it will
Speaker 3: still approve COVID nineteen vaccines for next winter. Basically, this
Speaker 3: comes down to lack of data at least that's the
Speaker 3: statement on booster shots and whether they're effective or helpful
Speaker 3: or not. So this answer is kind of a change
Speaker 3: from the Biden administration. Of course, the FDA officials back
Speaker 3: plans to routinely update the COVID nineteen vaccine each year,
Speaker 3: but now it looks like they're looking at possibly not
Speaker 3: or at least doing more research.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not.
Speaker 1: I don't even think the FDA is allowing traveling cars
Speaker 1: or aeroplanes anymore. You have to take a horse, horse
Speaker 1: and buggy from city to city.
Speaker 3: Well, but the horse has to be tested.
Speaker 2: That's not anymore.
Speaker 8: We love Luca, Luca don chic.
Speaker 7: You know New Lakers Superstar has stepped up and is
Speaker 7: going to pay for the restoration of the mural of
Speaker 7: Kobe and Gianna Bryant. It was vandalized over the weekend.
Speaker 7: This beautiful mural of Kobe with a toddler age Gigi.
Speaker 7: He's given her a kiss on the forehead and it
Speaker 7: was unveiled shortly after he and Gianna died in that
Speaker 7: helicopter crash. Somebody came over over the weekend and just
Speaker 7: tagged the hell out of it.
Speaker 1: This is why I think graffiti quote artists. I love
Speaker 1: that word. It's like radio artists that we are. As
Speaker 1: far as after his concern, graffiti artists should get twenty
Speaker 1: five years to life. Okay, first offense ten ten years,
Speaker 1: second offense twenty.
Speaker 3: Five, Judge Bill Handle, that's right. Health Secretary RFK Junior
Speaker 3: doubling down, he really thinks that we think too much
Speaker 3: about infectious disease and that that's what's in the public attention,
Speaker 3: and he wants to focus on chronic conditions and chronic
Speaker 3: diseases like diabetes and children. And he said, also every
Speaker 3: kid who gets autism diagnosis, why is the focus with
Speaker 3: autism so much?
Speaker 1: Because we're finding well, first of all, the focus with
Speaker 1: autism two reasons. The one FDR because all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: autism is at the forefront. Two, autism is at the
Speaker 1: heart of all the medical conspiracy theory because everything caused autism,
Speaker 1: particularly vaccines.
Speaker 2: That was a big issue.
Speaker 1: And the fact that autism quote has grown and it
Speaker 1: has exploded in society, but it's only because the diagnosis.
Speaker 2: We didn't know what autism was ten years ago.
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, of course, yeah yeah, but it's just
Speaker 1: this autism is a flavor of the month, that's all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a basket of robins, you know, thirty one flavors
Speaker 1: or twenty nine or whatever the hell flavors are.
Speaker 2: All right, we're done, guys. KF I am six forty.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to The Bill Handle Show.
