Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I newsroom. How are you fabulous? Do you know anything
Speaker 2: about the story? I'm gonna be talking about it later
Speaker 2: in the show at eight thirty. It's part of a
Speaker 2: larger thing about data breaches, but a particular data breach
Speaker 2: where your friends, the workers of Disney, are suing Disney.
Speaker 3: Oh I haven't heard this one yet.
Speaker 2: Oh well, then stay tuned at eight thirty because it's
Speaker 2: not only about data breaches. It's about you and your
Speaker 2: love of Disney. And good morning to.
Speaker 4: You, Good morning, thanks, Good morning to Coner. Hanging out
Speaker 4: with us for the next week or two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was this week. Well, we're doing a very
Speaker 2: interesting thing that has never been done before, which is uh,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna host this week Neil is off just today,
Speaker 2: oh okay, and he'll be back tomorrow and he'll be Neil,
Speaker 2: and then next week Neil will be Bill and I
Speaker 2: will be Neil. Okay. And there hasn't really been a
Speaker 2: specific discussion of what that entails. I mean, we know
Speaker 2: what being the host, what you're supposed to do. There
Speaker 2: hasn't been a specific discussion of what my being Neil
Speaker 2: will entail. Uh, you know, but whatever they want I
Speaker 2: will do.
Speaker 3: I can see it.
Speaker 2: I'm not dyeing my beard. So if that's part of it,
Speaker 2: I'm out.
Speaker 4: Because if you don't know, Neil likes to dye his
Speaker 4: beard different colors. And we're coming up, but we're coming
Speaker 4: up to Halloween. I wonder if he's gonna go orange.
Speaker 4: He might do like an orange and black mixture, and
Speaker 4: he doesn't. Just people say, oh, he dies his beard,
Speaker 4: like he takes the gray out or something.
Speaker 2: No. No, no, we're talking bright blue. We're talking shocking green.
Speaker 2: I Christmas right, Yes, the man has no shame. And
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen returning from I won't ask you where
Speaker 2: you're returning from in case it's not something you wish
Speaker 2: to share. But returning from somewhere, producer of the show,
Speaker 2: and good morning. Hello.
Speaker 3: I was talking to Michelle Cube in the other room.
Speaker 2: Oh well that's wonderful, Hiwayne, Welcome. The Overlord is in
Speaker 2: the building as well, Michelle Cube. All right, everybody, is
Speaker 2: that enough? Is that enough easing into a show before
Speaker 2: we drop all the handle on the news content that
Speaker 2: we have for you. Is everyone all prepared? Fantastic? So
Speaker 2: we're gonna do some handle on the news for you
Speaker 2: right now with me and Amy King, and this is
Speaker 2: your lead story. In Israel, they held ceremonies to mark
Speaker 2: the year since the deadliest attack in that country's history,
Speaker 2: when Hamasa led a raid over the border into Israel
Speaker 2: and killed many people, took many people hostages. I think
Speaker 2: we are still around a hundred hostages that have not
Speaker 2: been returned. And I don't know, you know, the way
Speaker 2: the count works, that doesn't mean all the other ones
Speaker 2: were returned. I think some of them, unfortunately, just died.
Speaker 4: Some were returned, some died, some are still being held,
Speaker 4: were executed. And when we talked to Jordana Miller, now
Speaker 4: she says they think, because they don't know, but they
Speaker 4: think only about half of the ones that are still
Speaker 4: technically being held, are still alive.
Speaker 2: That seems par for the course. So Israel had ceremonies
Speaker 2: Hamas celebrated by firing rockets at Tel Aviv and Hesbola
Speaker 2: celebrated by firing rockets at Haifa in the north of Israel.
Speaker 2: And in that case double digit people were injured that
Speaker 2: some of those rockets hit their targets, which is semi unusual.
Speaker 2: And that's the situation on this one year anniversary of
Speaker 2: And you can't say the anniversary of the start of
Speaker 2: it all, because the anniversary of the start of it
Speaker 2: all is some date that's tied to, you know, ten
Speaker 2: thousand years ago. But the anniversary of the latest situation
Speaker 2: that we have over there, the Hamas massacre, the Hamas
Speaker 2: massacre of israelis Yes, it's the one year anniversary of that.
Speaker 4: We are backing our ally with billions. The US has
Speaker 4: spent a record seventeen point nine billion dollars on military
Speaker 4: to aid to Israel since the war started October seventh.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to downplay that amount. Certainly other
Speaker 2: things you could do with that money, or I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a lot of money in the world of military aid. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's a record for military aid to Israel in a
Speaker 2: specified time period. But if I said, come with me,
Speaker 2: we have set up a display of what seventeen point
Speaker 2: nine billion dollars of military aid buys. Come look at it,
Speaker 2: you would be shocked at how little it is. The
Speaker 2: military stuff is expensive, isn't it like.
Speaker 4: A million dollars every time they launch a ballistic missile
Speaker 4: or something crazy?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's all insanely expensive. And you have the seventeen
Speaker 2: nine billion in aid to Israel that's just in last
Speaker 2: year basically. And then we areselves, the United States. You know,
Speaker 2: we've stepped up our operations over there to the tune
Speaker 2: of almost five billion. More. People who refuse, they refuse
Speaker 2: to just realize that everybody wants the same thing. You know,
Speaker 2: you just want to have fun with your family and
Speaker 2: maybe have a nice park to walk around in. And
Speaker 2: you don't want bombs falling on you. You don't want rockets
Speaker 2: falling on you. You don't want to be starved, you don't
Speaker 2: want to have no electricity. And for some reason, there's
Speaker 2: a group of people, and it's on both sides. There's
Speaker 2: a group of people are like, no, that's not we
Speaker 2: don't want that we want something else we need We
Speaker 2: need something more than people having decent lives. We need
Speaker 2: certain other people to not have decent lives. And until
Speaker 2: those people are gone, which you know, look at history,
Speaker 2: I guess they'll never be gone. But unless and until
Speaker 2: those kinds of people are gone, it's going to be
Speaker 2: billions and billions of dollars forever, just chucked over a border,
Speaker 2: you know, millions of dollars, just like whosh. Oh, well,
Speaker 2: there's fourteen libraries gone. Okay, you know, the head of
Speaker 2: FEMA has to come out and say that these stupid
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories and false claims are just that, and that
Speaker 2: they're wacky and ridiculous and also dangerous. And that's people
Speaker 2: accusing FEMA, for example, of spending all its money to
Speaker 2: help immigrants, which is not really true. Except see, and
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I'm not here. I'm not here to
Speaker 2: make anybody mad. There are certain shows where people wake
Speaker 2: up in the morning and they go, how am I
Speaker 2: going to make people mad today? I'm not here to
Speaker 2: make anybody mad. But truth is truth. The person who
Speaker 2: said FEMA took money and gave it to illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: which is not true, is the person who took money
Speaker 2: from FEMA and gave it to the border to fight
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. So everybody knows about Freud's ego defenses, and
Speaker 2: one of them is projection, where you accuse other people
Speaker 2: of doing what you do or being how you are.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that going on right now. Anyway,
Speaker 2: All that stuff is false. These rumors are anything from
Speaker 2: they're gonna some of those communities, They're just gonna come
Speaker 2: bulldoze them. They're not going to rebuild them, all the
Speaker 2: way up to you know who Hi, I'm doing CrossFit
Speaker 2: in Mike Jim. Representative Marjorie Taylor Green who said that
Speaker 2: the government used weather control to steer Hurricane Helene towards
Speaker 2: red areas. She didn't, she did, Oh, she did, and
Speaker 2: did again and tripled down that the weather can be
Speaker 2: controlled in such a manner. Okay, So I don't you
Speaker 2: know do you think that if a government had the
Speaker 2: power to do that two things, One, that they wouldn't
Speaker 2: do it all the time and completely obliterate their opposition
Speaker 2: with weather. And also wouldn't there be all kinds of
Speaker 2: other crazy crap that they could do.
Speaker 3: You could steer it into drought stricken areas.
Speaker 2: Oh, if you were, if you had a force for good,
Speaker 2: magical powers for good.
Speaker 5: Yes, people do have a force for good. Yes, make
Speaker 5: it rain where it doesn't. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Talk about
Speaker 5: a one to two punch. Milton is motoring towards Florida.
Speaker 5: The storm is strengthening over the Gulf of Mexico. It
Speaker 5: has become a Category three hurricane and could lead to
Speaker 5: the largest evacuation of parts of Florida in seven years.
Speaker 5: It's expected to hit population centers including Tampa and Orlando's
Speaker 5: maximum sustained winds of one hundred twenty miles an hour,
Speaker 5: but those could only strengthen as it travels.
Speaker 3: Over the warm waters of the Gulf.
Speaker 4: And of course it comes less than two weeks after
Speaker 4: Hurricane Helene hit, causing death and catastrophic damage from Florida
Speaker 4: up into the Appalachian Mountains.
Speaker 2: Now you're talking about when you said the largest evacuation
Speaker 2: in seven years, that was Hurricane Irma, which was a nightmare.
Speaker 2: They said get out, and the freeways were jammed, and
Speaker 2: the lines at the gas station were hours long, and
Speaker 2: some of the gas stations ran out of gas. And
Speaker 2: I will say Florida learned from that, so they actually
Speaker 2: are staging emergency fuel around and charging stations for electric
Speaker 2: vehicles along those of evacuation routes. So to the extent
Speaker 2: that it's another massive evacuation, it should go more smoothly,
Speaker 2: which is important, you know, because okay, you can't you
Speaker 2: can't evacuate your house, but at least maybe you don't
Speaker 2: have to die. Mh. And this sucker is coming across
Speaker 2: if I understand it, it's gonna come from the west,
Speaker 2: hit like the Tampa area and then just go straight
Speaker 2: across horizontally Florida. Shoop. And then we don't know yet
Speaker 2: or do we Is it gonna just go away from
Speaker 2: land or is it gonna do a little U turn
Speaker 2: at some point and come back.
Speaker 3: Because some of them do.
Speaker 4: They gain strength again after they dissipate over land, and
Speaker 4: then they come back out of the water and they
Speaker 4: gain strength again and then hit other areas.
Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll keep an eye on that. I mean,
Speaker 2: you may not live in Florida or along the Eastern seaboard,
Speaker 2: but you probably have friends or people you love that do.
Speaker 2: Speaking of hurricanes and hurricane relief, house speaker Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: was on a Sunday chat show, and he was asked
Speaker 2: about this letter that President Biden sent to congressional leader saying,
Speaker 2: we need some more money for some parts of the
Speaker 2: disaster recovery efforts, specifically the small not FEMA, the Small
Speaker 2: Business Administration has a disaster loan program to help small
Speaker 2: businesses that are impacted and that unfortunately needs more funding.
Speaker 2: So he wrote a letter and said, can you do
Speaker 2: something about that? And they asked House Speaker Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: if he was going to call back Congress before the
Speaker 2: election to do something about that, and he would not commit.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'll call him back, or I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'll call them back, or maybe you'll
Speaker 2: be surprised that I call them back. I don't think
Speaker 2: this is a time for any leader to be coy
Speaker 2: about anything. It's the least you can do. He may
Speaker 2: have internal battles in the House where he can't necessarily
Speaker 2: call them back in get something passed, And I don't
Speaker 2: know how to say this to him, And it's this
Speaker 2: supplies to every politician of any stride. You need to
Speaker 2: just tell the truth, no matter how bad it hurts.
Speaker 2: That's the one thing you can do yourself. You don't
Speaker 2: need anybody's permission, Mike Johnson to tell the truth. If
Speaker 2: you want to call them back but you don't think
Speaker 2: you can get anything past, then say.
Speaker 3: That it's the first Monday in October. You know what
Speaker 3: that means.
Speaker 4: It always reminds me of that movie that I never
Speaker 4: saw as a kid, but it was called the First
Speaker 4: Monday in October.
Speaker 3: It was about the Supreme Court Walter Mathow. Is that
Speaker 3: who it was?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I'm pretty sure. And then oh it was
Speaker 2: was it Jill the Important?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 2: And they're like two Supreme Court justices and I forget.
Speaker 2: It's a rom com or something, isn't it.
Speaker 3: I think it was a romantic they.
Speaker 2: Like have Yeah, they hate each other, but they love
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I bet that there's a lot of that go
Speaker 4: in the Supreme Court right now. The new Supreme Court
Speaker 4: term starts today. It's the first Monday in October, and
Speaker 4: they'll be talking about transgender rights and whether Tennessee can
Speaker 4: ban gender altering procedures. They're talking about whether ghost guns
Speaker 4: can be restricted more. They're talking about whether Mexico can
Speaker 4: sue American weapons manufacturers.
Speaker 3: They've got lots of stuff.
Speaker 4: One on a Texas law on whether they can require
Speaker 4: porn sites to verify ages of users.
Speaker 2: Which a bunch of states. I mean that case involves
Speaker 2: Texas's law, but a bunch of states have passed laws
Speaker 2: like that. At eight o'clock, what I did is I
Speaker 2: went through all the stuff they're going to hear, and
Speaker 2: I picked the three biggest ones that will have like
Speaker 2: the biggest effect on our lives. What are they so
Speaker 2: we're talking about that? Yeah, you gotta wait.
Speaker 3: Time go man.
Speaker 2: Hey, we were taught from day one you have to
Speaker 2: be at tease. If you're in radio, you have to
Speaker 2: be at tease. That's just the way it is, or
Speaker 2: you lose your sag aftercard.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Milania Trump also on a chat show on Sunday, saying, hey, man,
Speaker 2: people are yelling about the fact that I support abortion rights.
Speaker 2: I'm pro choice, and people are like, you're married to
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, the man who appointed the justices that overturned
Speaker 2: ro V Waite. And she said he knew he knew
Speaker 2: what I was about since the day we met, which
Speaker 2: is funny to me because how many people, when you
Speaker 2: first meet them, you end up knowing their position on
Speaker 2: abortion rights.
Speaker 3: I think that was probably figuratively.
Speaker 2: Oh really, she didn't literally mean from the day they met,
Speaker 2: he knew.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Wayne, What if he's what if
Speaker 3: he's psychic?
Speaker 2: What if she didn't say anything? But he reads minds.
Speaker 3: I don't understand why this is a big deal. Personally.
Speaker 2: I don't either.
Speaker 4: I think there's there's a lot of people who live
Speaker 4: in over the under the same roof who have differing views.
Speaker 2: Guess who else is pro choice and totally supports a
Speaker 2: woman's right to get an abortion? Donald Trump twenty years ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't talk about it on their first day together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he probably you know what. I'm again, I'm
Speaker 2: not here to make anybody mad, but he is the
Speaker 2: kind of guy that probably needs to clock right away
Speaker 2: whether the lady would get an abortion if he gets
Speaker 2: her pregnant. So, I don't know, people change, He's not. Look,
Speaker 2: the Donald Trump up today is not the Donald Trump
Speaker 2: that we fell in love with on The Apprentice. Is
Speaker 2: that this is a different person.
Speaker 3: Now, can you hear me?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: The USFTC.
Speaker 4: Has given the go ahead for Elon Musk's SpaceX and
Speaker 4: T Mobile to activate the Starlink satellite system so they
Speaker 4: can do direct to sell capability. So SpaceX satellites have
Speaker 4: already been enabled to put out emergency alerts to cell
Speaker 4: phones in North Carolina, but now they're going to do
Speaker 4: basic text messaging and that kind of stuff so they
Speaker 4: can start connecting again. Because more than seventy four percent
Speaker 4: of cell towers were knocked out of service in disaster
Speaker 4: areas from Helene.
Speaker 2: Although they're working quickly, it's down to seventeen percent of
Speaker 2: those towers out of service, So that somebody deserves some
Speaker 2: the kudos. Yeah, for that restoration effort. Okay, here's a hack.
Speaker 2: As in a computer hack, the telecom companies your AT
Speaker 2: and t's and your verizons and your lumen and other
Speaker 2: people have an unbelievable amount of information on all of
Speaker 2: our communications. They are involved in the Internet, they are
Speaker 2: involved in the phone communications, and they have a ton
Speaker 2: of stuff about user data, caller information, and sometimes the
Speaker 2: government will want access to that information and to get
Speaker 2: it they file a wire tap warrant. Now, according to
Speaker 2: several sources, a bunch of highly skilled Chinese government linked
Speaker 2: actors have infiltrated these systems, meaning they probably got information
Speaker 2: about wire taps and wire tap warrants, which absolutely one
Speaker 2: hundred percent has national security implications. Here who is here? Three? Two?
Speaker 2: Here is who boom nailed it? Here is who is
Speaker 2: not commenting? That still sounded weird. Amy, you you have
Speaker 2: you're good, and you also have Chris Little as your boss,
Speaker 2: who's very into writing and saying things correctly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I want to say I want to list the entities
Speaker 2: that are declining to comment. Here sounds here's who's not talking.
Speaker 3: Sure, oh fantastic, thank you.
Speaker 2: Here is who's not talking. The Justice Department, No thanks,
Speaker 2: the FBI, Nah, we don't want to say anything, A
Speaker 2: T and T all three of them said no, thank you,
Speaker 2: Luman no. And Verizon didn't even bother to decline to comment.
Speaker 2: They just ignored multiple requests for comment, which means it happened.
Speaker 2: That's what that means.
Speaker 4: Well, it's like that the was it the Verizon system
Speaker 4: that went down last week? Yeah, they won't tell, they
Speaker 4: won't say why. They're like, oh, well we're fixing it.
Speaker 2: Right, But well, well this is more than that.
Speaker 4: This is the same thing, like they don't want to
Speaker 4: fess up to anything and admit they did anything wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, so I don't know what they got, but
Speaker 2: they probably got a lot of information about who who
Speaker 2: we were trying to get information about and why great.
Speaker 4: Don't you think it would be funny though, like to
Speaker 4: see who they're watching, because like, if you like, if
Speaker 4: they launched me, they'd be going, oh well, she called
Speaker 4: her vet again, and uh, it wouldn't be very exciting.
Speaker 2: I The last thing I would ever want to do,
Speaker 2: Amy King, is hurt your feelings. Go ahead, okay, you
Speaker 2: know I love you, I respect you, all right. I
Speaker 2: would never want to, but I feel pretty confident that
Speaker 2: no entity of the federal government of the United States
Speaker 2: of America is trying to wiretap you.
Speaker 4: Thank god, I didn't hurt my feelings. You made me
Speaker 4: feel better. You're safe, you're saying.
Speaker 2: To Fry all right, fine, hey, let's talk about some
Speaker 2: good news about this airport fire.
Speaker 4: Finally, the fire that started in Tribuco Canyon on Monday,
Speaker 4: September ninth in the afternoon is fully surrounded.
Speaker 3: Containment was declared on Saturday night.
Speaker 4: Remember this one started unintentionally by Orange County work crews
Speaker 4: who were moving some boulders to block a trail to
Speaker 4: try to stop people from going there so they wouldn't
Speaker 4: spark fires. And in the process of moving those boulders
Speaker 4: unintentionally started the fire. It burned twenty three five twenty
Speaker 4: six acres. Thirty four structures were damaged, one hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty were destroyed. So we're talking about homes to twenty
Speaker 4: two people hurt. But it's finally surrounded. It's not out,
Speaker 4: but hopefully they can keep it contained. Yes, Elon Musk
Speaker 4: showed up at a Trump rally and jumped onto the stage,
Speaker 4: and there's a million memes, and he said that he
Speaker 4: is dark Maga, which means he doesn't understand Maga because
Speaker 4: you would never all maga is dark Maga. There's no
Speaker 4: there's no Maga, and then dark Maga, there's Maga. It's
Speaker 4: like Darth Vader going, hey, I'm not Darth Vader. I'm
Speaker 4: Evil Darth Vader. Oh well, dude, you are already anyway.
Speaker 4: I don't you know whatever.
Speaker 2: The old because you know what, because there's no way
Speaker 2: to have like.
Speaker 6: Will let me tell you why this was a momentous
Speaker 6: occasion and how it contributes to the further into political
Speaker 6: discourse and what kind of an effect it's going to
Speaker 6: have on the electorate.
Speaker 2: There isn't any of that. It's just how big of
Speaker 2: a door did he look? Answer?
Speaker 1: Huge.
Speaker 2: He's very rich, and he's very dorky.
Speaker 3: And he's incredibly smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's the wrong kind of smart.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe you disagree with him politically, but maybe he's
Speaker 4: the right kind of smart when it comes to like
Speaker 4: launching rockets up.
Speaker 2: He's No, he's not. Oh, please tell me a thing
Speaker 2: that he founded that he didn't basically take from other people.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: See. The the quickest way to dispel the rumor that
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is some kind of an amazing business savvy
Speaker 2: whatever is to go read the history of PayPal and
Speaker 2: SpaceX and Tesla and all of those things, and then
Speaker 2: and then you may not feel that he is so brilliant.
Speaker 2: That's my opinion that I have that is protected by
Speaker 2: the First Amendment of the Constitution. I'm not saying I
Speaker 2: have an IQ test of Elon Musk, or I don't
Speaker 2: know what the percentile he is in on the SATs
Speaker 2: or anything like that. I just have an opinion, based
Speaker 2: on the publicly available history of these companies that he founded,
Speaker 2: that he's not as smart as some people want it
Speaker 2: to say that he is. Also, look at.
Speaker 3: How he's tanked to X.
Speaker 2: Please. I'm sorry. I don't know why, I'm even I'm
Speaker 2: just piloting, you know why, because it's the thing to
Speaker 2: do right now, right now, the thing to do is
Speaker 2: pile on him because he jumped on the stage like
Speaker 2: in an awkward way. And then there's some freeze frames
Speaker 2: of his face when he's looking at Trump, and it's
Speaker 2: like all those little girls looking at Taylor Swift, that's
Speaker 2: what he looks like, or like me looking at a
Speaker 2: cheese steak.
Speaker 3: That's what he looks steak.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want anyone to see a picture of my
Speaker 2: face looking at a cheese steak. I'd be so embarrassed.
Speaker 4: The former governor is not even safe on the streets
Speaker 4: of New York City. Former Governor David Patterson is a
Speaker 4: Patterson or Paterson Uh. They were taking a walk on
Speaker 4: the street in Manhattan when they got basically ambushed by
Speaker 4: fore men and a woman.
Speaker 3: They had to be treated at the hospital.
Speaker 4: Apparently it started earlier in the evening when the steps on,
Speaker 4: who's twenty years old, was out walking and yelled at
Speaker 4: some people saying, you know, I'm calling the cops if
Speaker 4: you don't quit climbing that fire escape and then he
Speaker 4: ran into them with his grandfather later in the evening,
Speaker 4: and that's when they got into a confrontation and basically
Speaker 4: got attacked.
Speaker 3: Scared.
Speaker 2: So there's a history that led. It wasn't just one
Speaker 2: hundred percent random.
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like it. They're both gonna be Okay,
Speaker 4: her injuries, but they they're both out of the.
Speaker 2: And his Patterson. So Patterson, and you may remember him.
Speaker 2: He's blind, and I'll say that because that may you
Speaker 2: may now see the image. Oh yeah, I remember that guy,
Speaker 2: that blind guy.
Speaker 3: Was he always legally blind?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I don't remember him as governor.
Speaker 2: And his stepson is the son of the founder of
Speaker 2: the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa. So you can imagine somebody
Speaker 2: who's the son of the founder of the Guardian Angels
Speaker 2: is gonna get up in everybody's business if they think
Speaker 2: they're misbehaving. All right, here's a happier father and son story.
Speaker 2: For the first time ever, Lebron James and his son
Speaker 2: Bronni James played together in the NBA the second quarter
Speaker 2: of their game against the Phoenix Sons for for a
Speaker 2: little over four minutes of court time together they shared.
Speaker 2: Now here's the weird thing about the end. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: not weird. Technically it doesn't count because it's preseason for
Speaker 2: whatever purpose, it technically counts doesn't happen until they're on
Speaker 2: the court together in the regular season. But in reality,
Speaker 2: I believe it counts. I don't know if I should
Speaker 2: point this out though. The Lakers did lose and they're
Speaker 2: zero to two in the preseason. But still it's a heartwarming.
Speaker 2: It's a heartwarming story for the two of them, isn't
Speaker 2: it sure you don't want any part of this the
Speaker 2: way the turn the story took, I understand.
Speaker 4: Uh, here's another scare in the air. A Frontier Airlines
Speaker 4: flight seemed to catch fire. It was on its way
Speaker 4: from San Diego to Las Vegas, and uh, it was
Speaker 4: you know, it looked like it was on final approach
Speaker 4: and there was smoke reported in the cockpit. The pilots
Speaker 4: declared an emergency, and then the plane experienced what they're
Speaker 4: calling a hard landing. Apparently the tires blew out. People
Speaker 4: could see flames from underneath the plane, a trail of smoke.
Speaker 4: After that, the good news is everybody's okay. They got
Speaker 4: off the plane and they're good and quickly went to
Speaker 4: the casinos and blew all their money.
Speaker 2: Well, they burned the tires of the plane, why not
Speaker 2: burn all the cash in your wallet as well.
Speaker 3: M scary stuff. Though.
Speaker 2: The Pope has picked twenty one new cardinals. Oooh, it's
Speaker 2: a bold move. It's surprised everybody. He was giving a
Speaker 2: speech about the situation in the Middle East and then
Speaker 2: he said, oh, by the way, I've appointed twenty one
Speaker 2: new cardinals. And you may say, who gives a rip,
Speaker 2: but this is part of his very clear intent to
Speaker 2: change the whole structure of the top of the church
Speaker 2: so that the next time they have to pick up pope,
Speaker 2: the people picking the pope will be from all over
Speaker 2: the world instead of largely white dudes from Italy, which
Speaker 2: has been the case for a long time. So these
Speaker 2: twenty one new cardinals come from all over the place.
Speaker 2: There's a Ukrainian cardinal, there's I think a Belgian, there's
Speaker 2: a guy from Belgium. Now that's not doing a very
Speaker 2: good job of saying it's not going to be all
Speaker 2: white guys, I guess to say, a Ukrainian guy in
Speaker 2: a Belgian, But Indonesia and Algeria and Japan and the
Speaker 2: Ivory Coast as well. And so that's what he wants
Speaker 2: to do next time. He wants the whole world to
Speaker 2: representatively have a voice in who is the next pope?
Speaker 4: Check out the brains on these guys. The Nobel Prize
Speaker 4: in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to a couple
Speaker 4: of Americans, Victor Ambrose and Gary Rufkin.
Speaker 3: And here's what they did.
Speaker 4: They discovered micro rna, which they say is tiny pieces
Speaker 4: of genetic material that alter how genes work at the
Speaker 4: cellular level and could lead to new ways to treat cancer.
Speaker 3: They said that.
Speaker 4: If you take the example of cancer, there's a particular
Speaker 4: gene that's working over time and it mutates and works
Speaker 4: in overdrives. So if you take the micro rna that
Speaker 4: alters that activity and deliver that particular micro rna to
Speaker 4: cancer cells, it will stop the mutated gene from having
Speaker 4: that effect. I don't know if that makes sense in
Speaker 4: my brain, it does. Since I had the Big C
Speaker 4: I was like, I get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you have cells that are out of control,
Speaker 2: bad cells that are out of control, dividing yep and multiplying,
Speaker 2: and it's because a gene is telling them to do it,
Speaker 2: and they're saying that the micro rna and be introduced
Speaker 2: to in essence, say to the gene, shut up, put
Speaker 2: it out, stop it, and the gene will stop it.
Speaker 2: And think about I mean, the kind of the holy
Speaker 2: Grail of cancer treatment would be, this is the kind
Speaker 2: of cancer that you have. We're gonna identify this micro rna,
Speaker 2: we're gonna put it in you, and literally the growth
Speaker 2: will stop. The process that is creating the tumor and
Speaker 2: making it grow will stop. So yeah, you deserve the
Speaker 2: Nobel Prize for that. I think again, I'm not here
Speaker 2: to make anybody mad, but I feel like you can
Speaker 2: get a Nobel price for that. You've been listening to
