Speaker 2: passed away. Yeah, he was a lawyer. They literally live
Speaker 2: in iron lungs that breathed for you. Matter of fact,

Speaker 2: That's it. We're done. We're finished. I can't wear white anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from, because people wore
Speaker 1: white during the summer.
Speaker 2: The linen codes, the linen.
Speaker 1: Jackets, and the hats.
Speaker 2: I think that's from the.
Speaker 1: South, you know, the mint julips and walking around with
Speaker 1: a Southern accent. You ever noticed anybody with a Southern accent?
Speaker 1: For some reason, they just don't sound as smart, uh
Speaker 1: you they don't because there's a we're discrimination against the
Speaker 1: people with a southern accent, and you could be a
Speaker 1: Nobel Prize winner in physics and you sound like a moron.
Speaker 1: And on the other hand, if you go to the
Speaker 1: East coast, you go to uh northeast Hovid.
Speaker 2: You know that that clipped accent.
Speaker 1: You could be serving up French fries at a McDonald's
Speaker 1: and for some reason you sound brilliant.
Speaker 2: Morning Wayne, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard a Nobel Prize winner with a
Speaker 3: Southern accent?
Speaker 1: Uh, Jimmy No, Jimmy Carter who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 3: Oh, that doesn't count, though, when presidents get the Nobel Prize,
Speaker 3: it doesn't really count.
Speaker 2: I know Obama got the Nobel Prize, I know, getting
Speaker 2: elected for getting elected. Yes, that's what that was.
Speaker 1: It at least Teddy Roosevelt get the Nobel Prize for
Speaker 1: cutting a deal between Russia and Japan. And Jimmy Carter
Speaker 1: got the Nobel Prize for cutting a deal between Monacha
Speaker 1: Began and uh.
Speaker 2: M Ar Sadat, which is which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is By the way, virtually every freeway in
Speaker 1: southern California is named after Monachem uh Monacha began.
Speaker 2: Did you know that what every every freeway.
Speaker 1: You get on an you get onto the freeway and
Speaker 1: it says Bagan freeway.
Speaker 4: Oh jeez, that's what you that's what you have believed.
Speaker 4: Well you can read your whole life here b E
Speaker 4: G I N Bagan freeway.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously that makes sense.
Speaker 3: And what does that make the rest of us that
Speaker 3: thought that it meant that's where the freeway begins.
Speaker 2: We are all anti Zionists. I guess so. I guess so.
Speaker 2: But it's a huge honor for monach On began.
Speaker 1: All right, Wayne, good morning, good morning, and good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2: There you go, kno, good morning, welcome back. Bill. That's right,
Speaker 2: you worked yesterday.
Speaker 1: And Heather, Heather Brooker in the KFI and newsroom, good morning, Heather, Hi,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 2: A good moh, there you go. Good morning. The news
Speaker 2: like this, then you sound like you sound like I'm moron.
Speaker 1: Now, if you did it in an Eastern clipped accent,
Speaker 1: you would sound brilliant. And everybody, we think Southern Californians
Speaker 1: we don't have an accent.
Speaker 2: But we do.
Speaker 1: We have that lazy s and we don't say going
Speaker 1: to we say gunna. And it's just the way we
Speaker 1: talk Wisconsin cheese is.
Speaker 2: Every other word? Well you are really?
Speaker 3: Are you in a contest with somebody for the most stereotypes?
Speaker 2: No morning, this morning, we're doing stereotypes all right.
Speaker 5: For the record, Farmer's Almanac says that the tradition of
Speaker 5: not wearing white at the end of summers carried over
Speaker 5: from the nineteen fifties, when the wealthy would do that
Speaker 5: to show refinement, and those who follow the rule were
Speaker 5: seen in a more positive light.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, fair enough. It's just the wealthy. The rich
Speaker 2: just do better than the rest of us.
Speaker 1: I've always wondered about linen coats too, Linen clothes where
Speaker 1: you put them on in it's instant wrinkle. I wonder
Speaker 1: why people wear linen. I don't get it.
Speaker 6: It's cooler, especially in hot temperatures.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is why God invented air conditioning. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: are we are? You guys ready to do it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Heather, you're in today? Is Amy back tomorrow? Anne?
Speaker 6: Yes? She is?
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. By the way, where do you come from,
Speaker 2: my Heather?
Speaker 6: Pardon from Oklahoma?
Speaker 2: Oh, Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: But I've lived here for twenty years. I've lived in
Speaker 5: La for twenty years. So I feel like I've lived
Speaker 5: here longer as an adult than I did in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: All right, did you have a shelter tornado shelter at home?
Speaker 5: No, we didn't, but we did tornado drills in school,
Speaker 5: and you know, we were very well versed in tornadoes
Speaker 5: and how to protect ourselves.
Speaker 2: Was every dog named Toto?
Speaker 6: No, that's Kansas.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm with difference in make Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 6: It's all the middle.
Speaker 2: It's all the same to me.
Speaker 1: Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, tornado country.
Speaker 2: You know, Maine, Louisiana. It all sounds the same to me.
Speaker 2: All Right.
Speaker 1: Louisiana is fun because you cannot understand a word a word.
Speaker 6: Their accent is very strong.
Speaker 1: Oh it's insane. Okay, guys, enough of that. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and do some news. And we got plenty that
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Handle on the news with Heather or
Speaker 2: Wayne and me. Late. Sorry, yeah, something we're gonna do
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: Certainly Israel has exploded because the Israel Defense Forces found
Speaker 1: six hostages that were killed, actually executed, and it looks
Speaker 1: like as the Israel Defense Forces were going into a tunnel,
Speaker 1: they were raiding a tunnel.
Speaker 2: It looks like these.
Speaker 1: Six hostages were executed shot in the back of the
Speaker 1: head from what we're hearing minutes before Israeli forces came
Speaker 1: into the tunnel. I mean, that is that's tough, and
Speaker 1: I'll talk more about that coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: There is a lot to talk about israel Is exploding,
Speaker 1: general strikes. Nintagnahu just be just hated by so many
Speaker 1: Israelis because he simply will not cut a deal, saying
Speaker 1: that it's Hamas that will not cut a deal.
Speaker 2: They're pointing fingers at each other.
Speaker 1: Bill seems to be I don't know, seventy eighty hostages
Speaker 1: still alive or so intelligence says.
Speaker 2: Ninety seven ninety seven we found, Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: And then they're figuring how many are dead already? What
Speaker 1: thirty forty that are considered dead and Hamas holds on
Speaker 1: to the bodies as part of negotiations. They will not
Speaker 1: even return the bodies to the Israeli families.
Speaker 2: It's brutal. It is absolutely brutal, And more about that
Speaker 2: coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 5: In the UK, Britain is suspending some arms exports to Israel,
Speaker 5: and they're saying it's a clear risk that the arms
Speaker 5: might be used in series violation of international humanitarian law.
Speaker 5: The Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that the government had
Speaker 5: a legal duty to hold back some of these arms sales.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is.
Speaker 1: The the strategy of Hamas, and that is if they
Speaker 1: hold off long enough, notwithstanding the death of Palestinian as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, actually, certainly, in my belief, and
Speaker 1: I'm not alone, increasing the number of Palestinians that are killed,
Speaker 1: civilians that are killed, They're going to win the public
Speaker 1: relations war. And if it costs every single building in Gaza,
Speaker 1: so be it. And if it costs another ten twenty
Speaker 1: thousand lives, so be it. It's worth it for Hamas
Speaker 1: to stay in power. I completely believe that.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: We talked to Geordana Miller this morning from Jerusalem and
Speaker 5: I asked her about that. Why because Netan Yahou is saying,
Speaker 5: pardon me, that all of the pressure seems to be
Speaker 5: on Israel to make this deal, but nobody seems to
Speaker 5: be pressuring Hamas. And to her point, she's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: there should be more pressure on the leader of the
Speaker 5: Hamas terrorist organization because they're not going to bend over
Speaker 5: backwards to make a deal. They're not looking to do
Speaker 5: what's best for the world in the country.
Speaker 2: No, they win.
Speaker 1: They win by making no deal, right, And that is
Speaker 1: the horror of this.
Speaker 3: The thing that Hamas wants is the one thing that
Speaker 3: Israel will not grant, which is for Israel to not
Speaker 3: be in Gaza. Yes, and there was reporting that right
Speaker 3: after that attack in October where Hamas came over and
Speaker 3: took the hostages, that Hamas said, will give all these
Speaker 3: hostages back if you agree not to come into Gaza.
Speaker 3: So Bill, let's say you now are the head of
Speaker 3: Israel and Hamas has come over, They've done these horrific things,
Speaker 3: They've taken Israelis and other people back over and they say,
Speaker 3: we'll give them back to you right now, but you
Speaker 3: cannot come in here. That's the deal. Would you even
Speaker 3: consider for a second that deal?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: But I don't have a family member that's being held hostage,
Speaker 1: and I think that changes a lot. And one of
Speaker 1: the problems also is Hamas has said, and we're talking
Speaker 1: about the entire leadership, that we will commit these atrocities
Speaker 1: over and over again. We will not stop kidnapping and
Speaker 1: killing Israelis until Israel ceases to exist.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what you do with that one.
Speaker 1: Now, has Hamas been degraded they're military.
Speaker 2: Has it been degraded substantially to the point where.
Speaker 1: The entire border is going to be so well guarded
Speaker 1: that if anybody goes over the border instantly killed.
Speaker 2: But you don't know. When you have these terrorists sneak into.
Speaker 1: Israel and dress up is ha Hasidem religious Jews or
Speaker 1: women or whatever and then blow themselves up and are
Speaker 1: willing to do.
Speaker 2: That, it's a tough way to go. Again.
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk more about that at seven o'clock
Speaker 1: because it's a mess.
Speaker 6: It feels hopeless.
Speaker 2: Sometimes does it does, and it's spreading.
Speaker 3: Let's just do this really quickly because it's related before
Speaker 3: we get some news and stuff that in Turkey. Now,
Speaker 3: there were some Marines walking around and a bunch of
Speaker 3: youth associated with this group called the Youth Union of
Speaker 3: Turkey attacked them, and we're holding them down and one guy,
Speaker 3: one marine, had a bag, a plastic bag put over
Speaker 3: his head. Some other people intervened and they kind of
Speaker 3: got away. And the Turkish government has arrested fifteen people
Speaker 3: of their own in connection with this attack on our
Speaker 3: service people in other parts of the world. And I
Speaker 3: don't know if this is the beginning of a thing now.
Speaker 3: And they said, we're mad because of the US support
Speaker 3: for Israel. That's why we're attacking these marines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, no one hurt.
Speaker 1: I mean it looks like that it was a scuffle,
Speaker 1: but we're just how many are going to be there?
Speaker 1: When are they going to be killed? And so is Istanbul?
Speaker 1: This was an Istanbul I think it was Ismir. H.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was in the state of Ismir. Yeah, it's so.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a way and these uh, these
Speaker 1: soldiers were on a were on one of the warships
Speaker 1: and they were given time. They were on R and
Speaker 1: R and I wonder if that's ever going to happen again,
Speaker 1: where they just simply when they're in that part of
Speaker 1: the world, they just stay put on the ship. It's
Speaker 1: it's a mess, all of it, all right.
Speaker 5: The United States has seized Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro's plane
Speaker 5: after well after they say it its acquisition was in
Speaker 5: violation of the US sanctions among other criminal issues. Now
Speaker 5: seizure in the Dominican Republic marks and escalation as the
Speaker 5: US government and continues to investigate what it calls corrupt
Speaker 5: practices by Venezuela's government.
Speaker 1: Did you notice what a crappy plane it was, right
Speaker 1: head of state.
Speaker 6: Well, they compared it to Air Force one. They're saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: that air Force one.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the corporate jet of iHeart
Speaker 1: is better than this by a long shot.
Speaker 6: It was flying the jet.
Speaker 2: It was a pardon you get to fly in the jet?
Speaker 2: I did once, I did once.
Speaker 1: It was Uh, it was purchased for thirteen million dollars.
Speaker 1: That doesn't buy you a whole lot of jet.
Speaker 2: No, it does in Venezuela obviously, so.
Speaker 3: But it was bought it but it was bought from Florida, Yeah,
Speaker 3: through a shell company and smuggled out and that's why
Speaker 3: we seized it. Yeah, and he's not supposed to get it.
Speaker 3: He can he can buy a plane. He can't buy
Speaker 3: a plane from the US.
Speaker 2: I don't know why did he buy a US plane?
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he buy a plane from another government there?
Speaker 2: You know there? Why couldn't he buy a used plane
Speaker 2: from Brazil?
Speaker 3: Maybe other maybe maybe other countries don't want to deal
Speaker 3: with him even more than we don't want to deal
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 6: Maybe he got a deal. Maybe that's why, because it
Speaker 6: was so cheap.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a you know what, I don't know what
Speaker 1: year it is, but what is a we look this up,
Speaker 1: would you? What is a Dessault Falcon nine hundred ex cost?
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering that's what it is, Especially for thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollars.
Speaker 2: I wonder how old that is.
Speaker 5: This says between nine and a half and ten point
Speaker 5: seven million dollars.
Speaker 2: So he way over it is he way over pay
Speaker 2: much smaller than Air Force one. It's not funny.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not if you, like Bill, if you
Speaker 3: wanted to buy a plane for yourself and you bought
Speaker 3: one of these, I would say, wow, that's really nice
Speaker 3: for just some guy to have his own plane. But
Speaker 3: to say it's like air maybe they meant it's equivalent
Speaker 3: to Air Force one. And how it's used, right, because
Speaker 3: that was his official plane to fly around on official business.
Speaker 1: And maybe though they were there were no markings of
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan government on there.
Speaker 2: Of course not because he knew.
Speaker 3: He knew the whole time it was a plane he
Speaker 3: knew ever should have acquired.
Speaker 1: Now well, Trump, for example, his plane and the markings
Speaker 1: on his plane is very understated, much like this plane.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know what airplane that is
Speaker 2: that he flies? Trump?
Speaker 3: What kind of airplane is that? What you're saying, is
Speaker 3: it a seven forty seven?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Seven five? Much smaller?
Speaker 3: By the way, that people should I'm sure everybody got
Speaker 3: your sarcasm about the markings on his plane.
Speaker 2: That's not true.
Speaker 1: I have a I have a letter that I have
Speaker 1: to share with you, and I'll do it probably tomorrow
Speaker 1: because Michelle got it from someone. It's worth it enough
Speaker 1: send an email to me, and it's worth enough to read.
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm going to read it it.
Speaker 1: Was actually it was actually kind, and I don't get
Speaker 1: emails that are kind to.
Speaker 2: Me, so oh my goodness, Yeah, tomorrow I'll read intrigued.
Speaker 2: Oh good I'm glad I'm going to be here.
Speaker 3: Vice President Harris agrees with President Joe Biden that US
Speaker 3: Steel should not be sold to a Japanese company, Nippon Steele.
Speaker 3: The Justice Department would have to approve the sale, and
Speaker 3: the White House is against it. So I'm assuming the
Speaker 3: Justice Department right now is not interested in approving it.
Speaker 3: There's also this government agency called the Committee on Foreign
Speaker 3: Investment in the United States that has to look at it.
Speaker 3: They evaluate takeovers based on national security grounds. Bill, do
Speaker 3: you think there would be a legitimate national security reason
Speaker 3: not to let us steel be bought by the Japanese?
Speaker 3: They are an ally. I don't think there's any nefarious.
Speaker 2: Problem with them. Absolutely not. Is totally political one political where.
Speaker 1: This is a presidential candidate that is looking at what
Speaker 1: how the wind is blowing. Donald Trump is also doing
Speaker 1: the same thing, holding his finger in the air in
Speaker 1: terms of reproductive freedom. He is pulling back and changing
Speaker 1: his tune a whole lot.
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's easier for Kamala Harris to deal with this because
Speaker 1: Trump has called her both a communist and a fascist
Speaker 1: in the same speech, which is kind of fun. But no,
Speaker 1: it's political. It's political, no question about it.
Speaker 3: It's about keep the job, you know, keep the country
Speaker 3: American run, American operated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's preemptive.
Speaker 1: It's a preemptive Trump position that she knew Trump would
Speaker 1: get it, would grab it, and it would be Keeping
Speaker 1: us steel in America is very popular politically.
Speaker 3: All right, you see do you see value in keeping
Speaker 3: an American company American? Or are you more for the business?
Speaker 1: Sure the jobs and business is probably going to pay
Speaker 1: more for steel coming in because I'm assuming Japan wouldn't
Speaker 1: be dumping steel in the of States much like China did,
Speaker 1: where the government of China subsidized steel manufacture and those
Speaker 1: huge amount of imported steel which almost destroyed the steel industry.
Speaker 6: All Right, it's hot outside.
Speaker 5: If you have a notice, we are in the middle
Speaker 5: of a heat wave, excessive heat wave. The National Weather
Speaker 5: Service says temperatures are going to be ten to fifteen
Speaker 5: degrees above normal. Could get as hot as one hundred
Speaker 5: and nineteen in the Coachella Valley.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 6: It's going to be one hundred and thirteen in the
Speaker 6: La Basin.
Speaker 2: Area, unbelievable. Now, it's hot, but it's not going to
Speaker 2: be a schitz when you crack. When you crack one hundred,
Speaker 2: does it really matter? Well, no, because it is. It
Speaker 2: doesn't know.
Speaker 1: Can you batge it one hundred when it shits the
Speaker 1: outside when it's humid outside, then you're shimming in your shorts.
Speaker 2: I mean you are really dye.
Speaker 1: You might as well go to a might as well
Speaker 1: go to a steam back and then come out.
Speaker 2: It's basically the same thing.
Speaker 1: Or you take a shower, you walk outside the door
Speaker 1: and within three feet you've taken a shower. Again, it's
Speaker 1: we Thank goodness, it's a very dry heat. That's what
Speaker 1: we always say to defend. One hundred and twenty degrees outside,
Speaker 1: And I always come back with so is cooking cookies
Speaker 1: in the oven at three hundred and seventy five degrees
Speaker 1: that also is a dry heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look what happens to them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one nineteen in the Coachow Valley is not
Speaker 3: as astonishing to me. One thirteen in parts of regular
Speaker 3: old Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Woodland Hills, Woodland Hills, where both my daughters live,
Speaker 1: Woodland Hills.
Speaker 3: Oh, they have AC though you would You wouldn't let
Speaker 3: your daughters live without AC, would you?
Speaker 1: It depends if I really get pissed off, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to pay for the utilities like I pay for
Speaker 1: everything else.
Speaker 2: Nice father of the year, that's true, all right, all right?
Speaker 3: A swat and a robot dog responded after an officer
Speaker 3: involved shooting in North Hollywood yesterday. One person is in custody.
Speaker 3: It's unclear if anybody was actually injured in the shooting,
Speaker 3: but there's some nifty images from TV news of the
Speaker 3: robot dog going around the home, going up to a door,
Speaker 3: trying to open the door, can't get in, goes around
Speaker 3: the other side of the home, opens the door, goes
Speaker 3: in the house. That is the kind of thing that
Speaker 3: police are using these robots for, which.
Speaker 1: Is great because it takes the risk out of a
Speaker 1: lot of police incursions, police raiding the house.
Speaker 2: Also, a dog's name is Spot, which I think is
Speaker 2: particularly appropriate. I don't know why I said that, all right.
Speaker 5: Labor Day hotels strikes reflect the frustrations of the workforce,
Speaker 5: largely made up of women of color. There are ten
Speaker 5: thousand workers across twenty five hotels in the US on
Speaker 5: strike over Labor Day weekend. The Unite Here union represents
Speaker 5: the striking housekeepers and other hospitality workers. Nearly half of
Speaker 5: the striking workers, about five thousand or so, are in Honolulu.
Speaker 1: Notice that Los Angeles is not one of the targets,
Speaker 1: and that's because the hotels in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Have already cut a deal with Unite here.
Speaker 3: And I bet the managers at those hotels this weekend
Speaker 3: in la were like, ha ha ha, we did the
Speaker 3: right thing.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that. What do our workers
Speaker 1: get twenty five dollars an hour? I think some of
Speaker 1: the workers do twenty. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five dollars an hour. If you work
Speaker 1: in hospitality, I think it's I don't remember.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what they agreed to.
Speaker 6: I don't either.
Speaker 2: It's one of the two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the US has captured an ISIS leader.
Speaker 2: Here's the backdrop.
Speaker 3: Syria is holding a ton of ISIS fighters in their
Speaker 3: prisons and last week of them escaped and Syria caught
Speaker 3: two of them, but three of them are still at
Speaker 3: large and working with Syria. The US has captured this.
Speaker 7: Guy, Collin Ahmed al dan Daal, who is the one
Speaker 7: who helped those guys get away, and we have him
Speaker 7: now and he will not be getting away.
Speaker 1: No, the numbers here are kind of staggering when I
Speaker 1: looked at this, nine thousand ISIS detainees, twenty detention facilities
Speaker 1: in Syria.
Speaker 2: YEP. Now, Syria is one.
Speaker 1: Of those countries where there's a huge, well not a
Speaker 1: huge American presence, but other than Isis. This country is
Speaker 1: allied in terms of anti terrorists terrorist philosophy, but they
Speaker 1: are enough there, so you're not going to see the
Speaker 1: government of Syria going crazy like the government of Tehran
Speaker 1: did when when the the Hamas, when the COMMAS leader
Speaker 1: was killed in Tehran.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, Syria helped us capture the guy. They're not
Speaker 3: they're not upset at all about.
Speaker 5: And because there are ally, is that why we're helping them?
Speaker 5: It says the US is working to repatriate as many
Speaker 5: of the detainees as possible.
Speaker 6: Is that why we're doing that?
Speaker 2: Because yes, we're.
Speaker 3: Trying to help them get those Isis prisoners out of
Speaker 3: their prisons and back to their home countries.
Speaker 6: Why would we do that? Why is that our business?
Speaker 3: Because stability what we would like is stability in Syria, and.
Speaker 1: Syria is uh. I don't think is going to treat
Speaker 1: them very well. Syria views them as terrorists.
Speaker 5: Also, then why release them back into their population? Wouldn't
Speaker 5: they wouldn't that then possibly lead to them re organizing
Speaker 5: and reuniting and causing more issues.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's a good question. Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 2: And I don't know the answer to that. And let's
Speaker 2: not ask any more.
Speaker 1: Questions that I don't know the answer fair enough, keep
Speaker 1: that very limited.
Speaker 6: If you would, Okay, all right.
Speaker 5: Mountain lion has attacked a five year old boy at
Speaker 5: Malibu Creek State Park. Apparently the young boy was playing
Speaker 5: with some of other children in the area and when
Speaker 5: the mountain lion grabbed him by the head and started
Speaker 5: dragging him away an aunt. His aunt saw it happened
Speaker 5: and started calling for him, and the father went over
Speaker 5: and basically ripped the mountain lion away from the child
Speaker 5: and the child is now in the hospital.
Speaker 3: Or could the headline also be I'm not trying to
Speaker 3: stir up trouble, but could the headline also be Mountain
Speaker 3: lion defends his home against intruder.
Speaker 2: Could be?
Speaker 1: Or Mountain lion has five year old boy for lunch. Oh,
Speaker 1: that could also be a headline.
Speaker 3: So the motorcade that brought vice presidential nominee Tim Watts
Speaker 3: to a rally in Milwaukee crashed. Some vans at the
Speaker 3: back of the motorcade crashed it looks like into each other.
Speaker 3: Walls was riding closer to the front, so he was
Speaker 3: not directly affected, and when he got to the rally,
Speaker 3: he told everybody, Hey, so we got a little crashing
Speaker 3: going on, but aside from some minor injuries, everybody's going
Speaker 3: to be okay. And there are some pictures and it
Speaker 3: was more than just a bumpers tapping bumpers. There are
Speaker 3: some badly crumpled bumpers and fenders.
Speaker 1: All right, here's a little factoid that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: And Richard Nixon, when he was president and throughout his
Speaker 1: entire career, was not known for small talk.
Speaker 2: This was not a small talk kind of guy.
Speaker 1: And there was an accident in a motorcade much like this,
Speaker 1: and it had to do with the motorcycles that accompany
Speaker 1: the president on either side. One of them tipped over
Speaker 1: and fell on the officer's leg and broke his leg.
Speaker 1: And he's there on the ground waiting for help. Richard Nickson,
Speaker 1: to his credit, asks what's happening and miss President? One
Speaker 1: of the officers looks like he's broke his leg. So
Speaker 1: he went over and got out of the car, went
Speaker 1: over to him, and again this is the guy did
Speaker 1: no small talk. And he went over to the cop
Speaker 1: and said do you like your job? And what else?
Speaker 1: That's just Richard Nixon.
Speaker 3: That was his idea that it wasn't the the sometimes
Speaker 3: when you say do you like your job, it's a
Speaker 3: boss threatening you.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it was this was his idea of
Speaker 2: pleasant chit chat.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was that credit he got out, he got
Speaker 1: out and saw but that was just a little fun
Speaker 1: fact about a motorcycle accident, a motor kate accident.
Speaker 2: Okay, my goodness.
Speaker 5: Joey Chestnut has beaten Takiu Kobyashi in the unfinished Beef
Speaker 5: hot Dog Eating Contest. It was streamed live on Netflix.
Speaker 5: He beat Kobyashi with eighty three by eating eighty three
Speaker 5: hot dogs to Kobyashi sixty six, and he won one
Speaker 5: hundred thousand dollars in prize money.
Speaker 2: And that's a world record.
Speaker 6: That is an insane amount of hot dogs.
Speaker 2: I tested. It is insane.
Speaker 1: Just a quick word about what sports are now about,
Speaker 1: and that is because of ESPN, because of Netflix and
Speaker 1: other streaming services, almost anything can be a sport and
Speaker 1: it is covered as a sport. For example, the draft
Speaker 1: for the NFL and baseball is now a major event.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this when the three networks controlled you,
Speaker 1: they would cover a hot dog eating contest as a
Speaker 1: major sports event.
Speaker 2: We're a different place right.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk social media platform X will remain banned in
Speaker 3: your country of birth bill Brazil. After the Supreme Court,
Speaker 3: they're upheld a lower court who said you are not
Speaker 3: allowed to operate in Brazil because you took away all
Speaker 3: your presence. You closed your offices in a snit, because
Speaker 3: we told you you could not have fake news on
Speaker 3: your platform, so you left in a huff. You were
Speaker 3: ordered to appoint somebody to be a legal representative for
Speaker 3: you in Brazil.
Speaker 2: You did not. You're not allowed to operate here. Yep.
Speaker 1: And as you know, I speak Portuguese, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the decision right here in Portuguese, and here is
Speaker 1: the decision in Portuguese. Noh yeah, all right.
Speaker 5: So California Democrats have voted down a no tax on
Speaker 5: tips bill that was proposed by Republicans. Some are saying,
Speaker 5: now that is casting some doubt over Vice President Harris's
Speaker 5: commitment to the no tax on tips policy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the.
Speaker 1: This is not Harris. This is the legislature. And she
Speaker 1: was Vice Press. Doesn't have a whole lot of influence
Speaker 1: on the legislature. I mean, she does not have direct influence. Also,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people, including me, are a
Speaker 1: little upset about no tax on tips because tips.
Speaker 2: Are part of what is earned.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, tips are the primary earnings of service workers.
Speaker 2: I have to pay taxes on what I earn. How
Speaker 2: come they don't have to.
Speaker 3: I think that this is an attempt to the idea
Speaker 3: has always been, you know, you can pay them less
Speaker 3: than minimum wage because they get tips or minimum wage.
Speaker 3: But in many states you don't even have to pay
Speaker 3: the minimum wage. No, so okay, And so for a
Speaker 3: long time there's been this narrative that service employees who
Speaker 3: rely heavily on tips are disadvantaged in the workplace, and
Speaker 3: this I feel like this is an attempt to simply
Speaker 3: now say, okay, we will now give you a big
Speaker 3: advantage to make up for all these years that you
Speaker 3: were disadvantaged by having to rely on tips.
Speaker 1: Well, the FEDS charge service workers fifteen percent, even not
Speaker 1: knowing how much tips or how to what extent the
Speaker 1: tips are part of their income. It's just a flat
Speaker 1: fifteen percent because that's an average. And one of the
Speaker 1: things that service workers say sometimes we don't get fifteen percent,
Speaker 1: and how dare you charge us? By the way, I
Speaker 1: always pay in cash. Always I pay service workers in cash,
Speaker 1: and I always.
Speaker 2: Say the same thing.
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave you cash, but you have to
Speaker 1: promise me you will report this to the IRS.
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 2: They agree, They always agree. Faith in humanity is so touching.
Speaker 1: Then yes, yes, it's like giving homeless people or a
Speaker 1: homeless guy on the street money.
Speaker 2: You cannot use this for alcohol.
Speaker 1: Promise me, I'll give you the money, but you can't
Speaker 1: use it for booze.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, we are done.
