Speaker 2: How was How was the show? By the way, it's good.

Speaker 2: saying hits last night where she didn't the first night.
Speaker 4: Oh so she did a different show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but her banter is the same, right,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of banter with her. Yeah.
Speaker 4: She brought her kids out, her mom out. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember seeing Paul Paul McCartney twice, and it was
Speaker 3: a year and a half apart.
Speaker 2: It was I had paid to see him.
Speaker 3: Uh, and then at Old Cella where I went, which
Speaker 3: was the most amazing concert in the world.
Speaker 2: So this was about a year and a half later.
Speaker 3: His banter, his little stories were exactly the same as
Speaker 3: it was a year and a half before he.
Speaker 2: Could have recorded it word for word. It was the same.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard your show?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Who just said? Oh? Was that you Will?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Today is Will's last day. I want to point that out. Uh,
Speaker 2: he will not be joining us. We have a let's
Speaker 2: wish him a.
Speaker 3: Real good success, so real success in his later life.
Speaker 2: Okay, cono, good morning.
Speaker 3: And uh ann I already said hello to you, Amy,
Speaker 3: good morning. Okay. Uh either T shirt or sweatshirt that
Speaker 3: says magical. Oh yes, of course, I just saw the castle.
Speaker 3: Your hair was covering up the castle. Another Disney some
Speaker 3: kind of Disney a piece of clothing.
Speaker 4: It was a gift from my brother.
Speaker 2: Oh it's sweet.
Speaker 4: It was sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, does anybody give you anything other than the
Speaker 3: Disney stuff?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, why would you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but why would you?
Speaker 2: Exactly all right? And then Cono. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I said hello or not to Cono, but so be it.
Speaker 3: Today is a little bit of a modified day in
Speaker 3: the sense that foody Friday is going to happen at
Speaker 3: eight thirty because I'm off to a doctor's appointment. So
Speaker 3: we're going to do ask handle anything from eight o'clock
Speaker 3: to eight thirty. That's the only modification and coming up
Speaker 3: with the rest of it. Let's do it, guys, It's
Speaker 3: time for Handle on the news with Amy, with Neil,
Speaker 3: with me lead Storry.
Speaker 2: Oh, very strong.
Speaker 3: Mike Waltz is out National Security national Security advisor is gone,
Speaker 3: and it was you know, he had problems with the
Speaker 3: president from almost day one. And he's quite a guy.
Speaker 3: He was a Green Beret, I mean, just on and on.
Speaker 3: I think the first Green Beret that ever served in Congress. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he has been tossed out. He one of the reasons,
Speaker 3: it's given is probably not the only reason is he
Speaker 3: had put on that Atlantic editor on his email list,
Speaker 3: and yeah, the group chat, that's right, and it will signal,
Speaker 3: I think, is the platform which is encrypted, et cetera.
Speaker 2: And he was caught and of course that blew up
Speaker 2: et cetera.
Speaker 3: And the President said, you know, I still support him,
Speaker 3: and of course everybody said, please, he's on his way
Speaker 3: out because he really didn't need along with Trump. He's
Speaker 3: on his way out. He's out, but no, no hold on,
Speaker 3: he's out as National Security advisor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Trump must like him because he's not kicking
Speaker 5: him out of the administration.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Trump likes him for that.
Speaker 3: It's it's almost as if Trump cannot be wrong, and
Speaker 3: it's easier to say I think it'd be a better move.
Speaker 2: I still want him to represent America. YadA, YadA. Then
Speaker 2: I blew it.
Speaker 1: He was guy tossing people right and left from yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, but I'm just saying that I
Speaker 3: think that is one you can it can be argue
Speaker 3: that you picked the wrong guy. Clearly he was not
Speaker 3: the right man for the job versus what I think
Speaker 3: the position is.
Speaker 2: Going to be.
Speaker 3: I maybe did wrong on this by the way, Amy,
Speaker 3: I'm just speculating versus this position is better.
Speaker 2: For America where we moved him. Yeah, well, he can't
Speaker 2: be wrong.
Speaker 5: And I think with everything that happened with that signal thing,
Speaker 5: the blowback from that, but that he's kind of like,
Speaker 5: you know what, this is not this is not for you.
Speaker 5: But he must like him or he would have fired him.
Speaker 5: Like Neil said, he I don't know. He's fired so
Speaker 5: many people, and he's moving him into a position has
Speaker 5: to get congressional approval.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe, although Waltz has the creds, so I don't think
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a problem with that. But although ambassador
Speaker 3: to the UN, Oh, come on, you have people like
Speaker 3: Mickey Haley who is ambassador, who did a great job,
Speaker 3: by the way, and you've had ambassadors of the UN.
Speaker 3: I think Eleanor Roosevelt was at one point named Ambassador
Speaker 3: of the UN if I'm not mistaken, just now. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 3: Pete Hegseth, now Waltz, it was a mistake. It was
Speaker 3: just a straight mistake that the Atlantic editor was put
Speaker 3: on to.
Speaker 2: That group chat with Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 3: He purposely put his wife on his brother in law
Speaker 3: on there that was done purposely with highly secret.
Speaker 2: Information, much along the same lines. President will never.
Speaker 3: Say anything negative about HeiG Sith will not cannot h
Speaker 3: that's that's a weird one.
Speaker 2: And JD.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that to me is more serious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of crazy. And then whatever JD.
Speaker 3: Vance does, of course is untouchable because it doesn't crazy.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how crazy he is, because he's the
Speaker 3: vice president. He's an elected position, and the President can't
Speaker 3: do a damn thing about it except for ostracizing him,
Speaker 3: marginalizing him and vice president.
Speaker 6: He gosh, if my recollection is okay, didn't he do
Speaker 6: that to his last VP?
Speaker 2: I don't even know who his last VP was.
Speaker 1: You do. He threw him under the bus about as
Speaker 1: hard as you could.
Speaker 2: Honest to god, I just had a mind.
Speaker 1: Mike Pencer here, Mike pens Oh, Mike Pence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, now you go. That's right. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I left that.
Speaker 3: Of course, he threw him under the bus, because if
Speaker 3: you say anything against the president, but it used to
Speaker 3: be presidents where vice presidents were completely.
Speaker 2: Ignored, I mean ignored, and it was.
Speaker 3: Well, for example, LBJ wouldn't even sit on cabinet meetings,
Speaker 3: Lynna Johnson, not even cabinet meetings, because the vice president
Speaker 3: has one job, and that is to be a heartbeat
Speaker 3: away from the president. That's it, to sit around and
Speaker 3: to preside over the Senate and be a tie breaker
Speaker 3: in case there is a fifty to fifty tie. Other
Speaker 3: than that, the vice president has no duties that are
Speaker 3: prescribed by the Constitution and can sit around and do nothing.
Speaker 2: All right, take one more anyway. Mike Waltz is out.
Speaker 3: Oh, and Marco Rubio is both the National Security Advisor
Speaker 3: interim as well as Secretary of State. You know when
Speaker 3: that happened last Henry Kissinger during Nixon Kissinger was both
Speaker 3: National Secure Advisor as well as the Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: And the life of the party.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, let's do this, let's part eh. All right,
Speaker 2: one more and we'll take a break.
Speaker 5: Uh, what's going to happen to Sesame Street? President Trump
Speaker 5: assigned an executive order that ends federal funding or tries
Speaker 5: to end federal funding for the two biggest public broadcasters,
Speaker 5: and that is PBS and NPR. It instructs the Corporation
Speaker 5: for Public Public Broadcasting to terminate direct funding to the
Speaker 5: maximum extent allowed by law, and shall decline to provide
Speaker 5: future funding. The Public Broadcasting Corporation disperses five hundred and
Speaker 5: thirty five million dollars in taxpayer funds to public radio
Speaker 5: and TV stations nationwide.
Speaker 3: Let me ask, Amy, if a big bird comes out
Speaker 3: wearing a MAGA hat, does that turn around?
Speaker 4: Why asking me?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm just asking for I'm not asking for any particular reason.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to throw it out at someone. It
Speaker 3: was a bad joke. It was a slightly clever reference
Speaker 3: that clearly was not And uh, okay, never mind.
Speaker 4: I think it is a mistake. I Sesame Street's important.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: It is, It's very pr not so much PPS.
Speaker 3: But in the end, and but here is the when
Speaker 3: you talk about diversity, it is plastered all over NPR
Speaker 3: and Public broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Well not when it comes to ideas.
Speaker 3: No, but when it comes to the people involved, and
Speaker 3: well even ideas.
Speaker 2: Look what Sesame Street did the first the first.
Speaker 3: Gay major part of the show.
Speaker 2: Granted they were puppets, but you know.
Speaker 6: This was early talking about PBS. I'm talking about NPR,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 2: PBS and NPR is the funding. By the way, people confuse.
Speaker 6: It to all right a goas a bound activist aid
Speaker 6: ship caught fire and issued in SOS. The organizers claimed
Speaker 6: that it was a drone attack off the coast of
Speaker 6: Malta in internet national waters.
Speaker 1: Early hours of today.
Speaker 6: The Armed Forces thereof Malta confirmed there was a fire
Speaker 6: on the ship that was extinguished. They're monitoring the situation.
Speaker 6: They sent a tugboat vessel. All crew were confirmed safe,
Speaker 6: but refused to board the tug.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know what happened here. It's kind of
Speaker 3: be easy to see if it was a drone strike
Speaker 3: or not. I mean, the evidence is going to be
Speaker 3: pretty clear as opposed to a fire that just ignited
Speaker 3: on the ship.
Speaker 2: No idea at this point what's happening.
Speaker 3: They're saying the ship is at anchor and they can't
Speaker 3: move because it was squatter flooding in. No one knows
Speaker 3: at this point. I would like to see this was humanitarian.
Speaker 3: If Israel was involved in this, I guarantee you what
Speaker 3: Israel will say they thought they had arms aboard the ship,
Speaker 3: because attacking a humanitarian ship.
Speaker 2: Is horrific.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if his I don't know if
Speaker 3: Israel would do that, and it's so man, somebody's head
Speaker 3: is going to roll on that one.
Speaker 1: Why did they refer to it as an activist.
Speaker 3: Because these because the people there, they're they're calling themselves
Speaker 3: activists because they were there. These are not people from Gaza,
Speaker 3: These are not Palestinians. These are people from all over
Speaker 3: the world that are coming aboard to h help help Gaza.
Speaker 5: This is going to make a driver to driver road
Speaker 5: rage tougher, which is probably a good thing. Driverless trucks
Speaker 5: are officially running their first long haul routes. They're regular
Speaker 5: scheduled long haul routes. They're traveling between Dallas and Houston.
Speaker 5: Commercial service is running under Uber Freight and Hirshboch Motor lines.
Speaker 5: They deliver time and temperature sensitive freight. The trucks are
Speaker 5: equipped with computers and sensors that can see the length
Speaker 5: of over four football fields. In four years of practice halls,
Speaker 5: the trucks tech has delivered over ten thousand loads, and
Speaker 5: as of yesterday, the company's self driving tech has completed
Speaker 5: over twelve hundred miles without a human in the truck.
Speaker 2: This is the future, boys and girls.
Speaker 3: If anybody asks you, a young person, g I want
Speaker 3: to be a truck driver.
Speaker 2: No, don't do it, not no chance. Onlything worse is
Speaker 2: getting into radio.
Speaker 3: And because driverless trucks instruments, it's going to be safer.
Speaker 3: Truck driver is going to be out of business. But
Speaker 3: it's going to take a while and you'll see safer,
Speaker 3: You'll see. It's just it's all the reason in the
Speaker 3: world to do this stuff. And the obviously labor costs
Speaker 3: are going to be very minimal when there is no
Speaker 3: labor driving these trucks.
Speaker 6: Wow, there goes my truck driving radio show that I
Speaker 6: had planned.
Speaker 2: That's for sure.
Speaker 6: I love the truck drivers I know, all righty Apple
Speaker 6: reported ninety five point four billion dollars in revenue. Address
Speaker 6: the tariff concerns during its call earnings least call yesterday,
Speaker 6: CEO Tim Cook said, obviously the tariffs can be a problem.
Speaker 6: They weren't a problem in March, very limited impact due
Speaker 6: to their optimization of supply chain inventory, probably just using
Speaker 6: what they add, but says that it could cost potentially
Speaker 6: nine hundred million dollars or could have a nine hundred
Speaker 6: million dollar tariff impact ahead come out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the next few weeks, you're not going to
Speaker 3: see much of this because you have businesses that have
Speaker 3: bought front loaded so much inventory in anticipation of this,
Speaker 3: But within weeks you're going to see products run out.
Speaker 2: The ports are China, the ports are gone.
Speaker 3: They're shutting them down completely in terms of anything coming
Speaker 3: to the United States. And in the United States, what
Speaker 3: the port said, they're figuring a thirty five percent decrease
Speaker 3: next week from this week because ships were out.
Speaker 2: To see and they were already loading. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's tough.
Speaker 3: We'll talk a lot more about that over the next
Speaker 3: few weeks, that's for sure, next few days, all right, Amy, No.
Speaker 4: Deal for Diddy.
Speaker 5: Sean Colmes has confirmed at a hearing that he rejected
Speaker 5: a plea deal from federal prosecutors in his sex trafficking
Speaker 5: case that paves the way for his trial to begin
Speaker 5: next week. He's pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering,
Speaker 5: and transportation to engage in prostitution. The hearing yesterday was
Speaker 5: the last one before jury's selection gets underway. That's expected
Speaker 5: to start on Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of two things is happening.
Speaker 3: Either he thinks he has a case and a decent
Speaker 3: chance to win at trial, or the plea deal was
Speaker 3: not very good.
Speaker 2: You're looking at life.
Speaker 3: Imprisonment will give you thirty years or twenty years or something.
Speaker 3: So maybe the plea deal just wasn't But we don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't know, Supris, somebody that rich.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I don't know. I hope
Speaker 2: he I hope he's smart enough to pay tention to
Speaker 2: his attorneys.
Speaker 3: The story is that he did have conversations with his attorneys,
Speaker 3: but we don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: During that conversation. The other thing is really weird.
Speaker 3: About this story is for some reason Comb's attorneys had
Speaker 3: to make a motion in front of the court to
Speaker 3: allow him to be dressed in civilian clothes for the trial.
Speaker 2: What is that about?
Speaker 4: Isn't that for arrangements there in the jail.
Speaker 3: Sort arrangement because in front of the judge. But of
Speaker 3: course he's an address in civilian clothes. I mean, decision
Speaker 3: after this, you put someone in prison, garb in a courtroom,
Speaker 3: tell me that it is in president president the preds prejudicial.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Right there, So maybe I misread it, but I have
Speaker 3: absolutely no idea how that happened. I had to have
Speaker 3: misread that because there's no chance that it would can
Speaker 3: be a discussion about him not wearing civilian clothes.
Speaker 4: You didn't misread it. It was a thing unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how can how can anybody go to trial in
Speaker 3: a prison garb? And the courts have been adamant about
Speaker 3: that time after time.
Speaker 6: So people are upset, obviously about Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs,
Speaker 6: stoking fears global economic turmoil, administration's immigration crackdowns. So they
Speaker 6: marched yesterday to the tune of hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 6: people in the US and around the world. We had
Speaker 6: them here in Los Angeles as well. People marched holding
Speaker 6: signs that said, immigrants make America great, migration is beautiful,
Speaker 6: and it's not time to be silent.
Speaker 3: Now should have been immigrants did make America great. There's
Speaker 3: a timeline on the immigration issue. There was a time
Speaker 3: when we needed immigrants desperately, not so much anymore, and
Speaker 3: therein lies a huge problem, which, of course we'll be
Speaker 3: discussing and we have for years.
Speaker 2: Oh here's an immigrant story.
Speaker 4: A reprieve for Trenday, Aragua.
Speaker 5: Federal judge has the Trump administration from deporting any Venezuelans
Speaker 5: from South Texas, where they're being held under an eighteenth
Speaker 5: century wartime law. The judge said President Trump's invocation of
Speaker 5: the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. It's a US District
Speaker 5: Court judge Fernando Rodriguez. He's the first judge to rule
Speaker 5: that the seventeen ninety eight law cannot be used against
Speaker 5: people who the Republican administration claims are gang members invading
Speaker 5: the US. He said he would not interfere with the
Speaker 5: government's right to deport people in the country, but it
Speaker 5: could not rely on the two hundred and twenty seven
Speaker 5: year old law to.
Speaker 3: Do it because the Enemies Act, the Alien Enemies Act,
Speaker 3: happens to do with aliens coming in in terms of invasion.
Speaker 3: It's only been used a couple of times. And this
Speaker 3: is well, you're going to see this for four years.
Speaker 3: By the way, the president invoking laws that are already there,
Speaker 3: for example, declaring marshal law, which she.
Speaker 2: Has not done.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't be surprised because it has been done
Speaker 3: in times of war. All I'm saying is using laws
Speaker 3: that are on the books, declaring everything in.
Speaker 2: A national emergency.
Speaker 3: You know, illegal immigrants coming over the border, that's a
Speaker 3: national emergency. Security. Talking about the economy, it's a national emergency.
Speaker 2: Everything is a national emergency, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And you're going to use every law that's there under
Speaker 3: the books.
Speaker 6: But hits more true today than it did with Man's
Speaker 6: in arn I mean American citizens put in concentration camps.
Speaker 3: Well, that is exactly you know what, that is my
Speaker 3: point to be exactly well and so and they did
Speaker 3: it under the same law, which by the way, was
Speaker 3: FDR And it was Earl Warren that in fact did
Speaker 3: that with Man's in r and in California with the
Speaker 3: internment camps. But to use this law and say illegal
Speaker 3: aliens coming over the border is a national security issue,
Speaker 3: let me how what do they do to this country?
Speaker 3: They take away your jobs? They don't how many people
Speaker 3: have lost their jobs because of illegal aliens. How many
Speaker 3: people pick strawberries that you know that have lost their jobs?
Speaker 3: How many people working in manufacturing.
Speaker 6: It's a little bit of reductionism there, right, I would say.
Speaker 6: I would also say I'm done with the appeal to
Speaker 6: antiquity and everybody saying the seventeen hundred you know law
Speaker 6: and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: What about our constitution is a problem too, But that's
Speaker 3: what I'm that's going to be a problem.
Speaker 1: An old law. Well you know what, murder goes back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's a little bit because that goes
Speaker 3: the common law, that goes to common law, that goes
Speaker 3: it's been murder has been a crime for for in
Speaker 3: time immororial. Make it sound like it's a bad law
Speaker 3: because it's old is no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, try no. The issue is misuse
Speaker 2: of the law. And that is what the court said.
Speaker 3: The law is solid, you just can't use it across
Speaker 3: the board. And that's what the Trump administration is doing
Speaker 3: and testing every law and testing the courts, and he's
Speaker 3: appealing everything.
Speaker 1: For every war is with an enemy alien?
Speaker 2: Really an enemy alien?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Okay, wars? No, because when you have the enemy alien law, it's.
Speaker 3: Here we go to war in Europe, there's no enemy
Speaker 3: alien law applies.
Speaker 6: I'm hearing by definition, any war that we went to
Speaker 6: on our soil other than civil war.
Speaker 1: Would be with aliens.
Speaker 3: No, you talk about enemy aliens in the country, in
Speaker 3: the country, that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 6: Okay, their way into the country, I'm sorry, that have
Speaker 6: made their way into the US.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, those are if we're at war and you
Speaker 3: have someone come in. We're not at war with Mexico.
Speaker 3: We're not at war with Colombia. That's the point.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should be.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a different issue. That is a different issue. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's move on.
Speaker 6: The Justice Department accused three three of the nation's largest
Speaker 6: health insurers of paying hundreds of millions of dollars in kickbacks.
Speaker 6: What are the odds to brokers in exchange for steering
Speaker 6: patients into you know, Medicare advantage plans everybody thinking about.
Speaker 3: By the way, you seeing those commercials about you have
Speaker 3: only X number of months to sign up or weeks
Speaker 3: to sign up for Medicare, and you get calls all
Speaker 3: the time. I do Medicare because it changes every day.
Speaker 3: You know how much what CBS and these other organizations
Speaker 3: why they want to do this. You know what the
Speaker 3: government pays to administrating to administering those plans per person?
Speaker 3: I think it's close to one thousand dollars a month,
Speaker 3: is what I think the government pays, if we can
Speaker 3: look that up, and for administrating Medicare plan. That's why
Speaker 3: I mean, the money is astronomical to administrate.
Speaker 6: The most I've ever paid for insurance, by the way,
Speaker 6: I had to get it. I don't know what the
Speaker 6: reasoning is, but I had to get it when I
Speaker 6: got my kidney transplant and to cover my live donor
Speaker 6: for life with their kidney. And it was expensive as hell. Oh,
Speaker 6: because I don't make too much money to do well.
Speaker 2: You weren't. Yeah, you've done and two things.
Speaker 3: Number one, making too much money and working at iHeart
Speaker 3: is a complete contradiction in terms.
Speaker 2: That too, what I said exactly two.
Speaker 3: Sorry, insurance, Well, I made too much money also to qualify,
Speaker 3: and I was paying for a period of time for
Speaker 3: four of us.
Speaker 2: How about this three thousand dollars a month for insurance?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: For Kaiser for four of us.
Speaker 3: But you know we got the platinum, Platinum, Diamond plus plan.
Speaker 2: So when you go in, not only is there no copay, they.
Speaker 6: Pay you so they that mean they put you in
Speaker 6: a room with someone, but they make that person get dressed. Yeah,
Speaker 6: pretty much have to wear clothes around mister Handel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's finish up handle on the news.
Speaker 4: I guess, Oh, go ahead with you. Guess who's being
Speaker 4: blamed for a worldwide pandemic.
Speaker 5: China says COVID nineteen may have originated in the United States.
Speaker 5: Their comments come in response to the White House launching
Speaker 5: a COVID nineteen website back on April eighteenth. On the website,
Speaker 5: it says the coronavirus came from a lab leak in China.
Speaker 5: It criticized, of course, President Biden, former top US health
Speaker 5: official Anthony Fauci, and the World Health organization. The China
Speaker 5: RENI released what they call a white paper on the pandemic.
Speaker 5: It accused the US of politicizing the matter and also
Speaker 5: said China shared relevant information with the WHO and the
Speaker 5: international community in a timely manner, and went on to
Speaker 5: say that emphasizing a joint study by the WHO and
Speaker 5: China had concluded that a lab leak was extremely un likely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so US waving China because they're saying there was
Speaker 3: a civic cat at that market, meat market and hunah
Speaker 3: in China, or it was bats that caused it. China says, yes,
Speaker 3: it was bats, but it came out of Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 3: United States says, no, it's a different kind of bat.
Speaker 3: Baseball bats are made in Louisville, and it's just going
Speaker 3: back and forth, and this is fantastic.
Speaker 1: What a lot of confusion.
Speaker 6: Now, my Chinese isn't so good, but I loosely translated
Speaker 6: it said, we're rubber and your glue, whatever you say,
Speaker 6: bounces off of us and sticks to you. So that's
Speaker 6: where politics is. Los Angeles County prosecutors must speed up
Speaker 6: the filing of felony charges against persons accused of sex crimes.
Speaker 6: Why is this happening now? Or violence against family members.
Speaker 6: This is a new policy. The announcement was yesterday. The
Speaker 6: announcement follows a recent Los Angeles Times report highlighting how

Speaker 3: the government will be calling Donald Trump great leader. It's
Speaker 3: there is no question that he is. It's Kim Jong un.
Speaker 3: It's those people around Kim Jong Un who are saying,
Speaker 3: you're the best, You're terrific, You're America. Without you, America
Speaker 3: is going to be dead. I mean, that's what his

Speaker 3: That's the part I don't get. I understand Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: He's self aggrandizing. He is the most self centered human
Speaker 3: being out there. I mean, he is the best. He
Speaker 3: is terrific. There's nothing more wonderful than him. God has
Speaker 3: put him on this earth. I get that, But it's
Speaker 3: his followers who bought into that. I understand policy. You know,
Speaker 3: you want to go, you love the tariffs, You're willing
Speaker 3: to take it in the shorts.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: It's all policy stuff. But that part, man, I just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I really don't. I would feel
Speaker 3: the same way about someone that I believed if a
Speaker 3: president was out there that I supported, who said, God
Speaker 3: put me here, I'm the best. I insist that you
Speaker 3: wear my hat, my clothes, that you tell me how
Speaker 3: terrific I am, that you say, as a part of
Speaker 3: your job that I am the Grand Puba and the
Speaker 3: Imperial Wizard of this company of this country. Can you

Speaker 6: don't know that that's true.
Speaker 1: But he is a great marketer.
Speaker 3: I tell you that well, certainly, certainly for his followers, certainly,
Speaker 3: But hey, I have a question. Every time he does

Speaker 3: out there. We got our coins, you know, for the
Speaker 3: NFT crowd. We got those as well. We got some

Speaker 2: Was a bunch of years ago.
Speaker 1: All right, we're done.
Speaker 3: We're done so much for that, and I'm sure we'll
Speaker 3: get emails or maybe not because everybody's sort of used
Speaker 3: to my position here.

Speaker 6: gross on both ends, as see stuff and the Trump stuff.
Speaker 1: All of it.

Speaker 3: me here that I am the greatest thing in America.
Speaker 2: I am the answer to America's.
