Speaker 5: Keep you on. Well that's one, give you a job.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: But when I was and now this is. I'm not
Speaker 3: blowing my horn. I just want to tell you, of
Speaker 3: course I am. When I was inducted in the Radio
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, it was in Chicago. Pittman sent his
Speaker 3: plane to pick me up.
Speaker 5: I know, with you, I know. The only time I've
Speaker 5: ever been in a private plate I.
Speaker 3: Know, I know, And it was Pittman's plane. And I
Speaker 3: didn't recognize him.
Speaker 5: Yesterday you could blindfold me, and the minute he spoke,
Speaker 5: I could tell you it was him.
Speaker 2: Oh he is that? Well, I didn't.
Speaker 3: It was really very loud, and it was It was
Speaker 3: at a nightclub in that they had booked in West
Speaker 3: la and it was, you know, the chandeliers and all that.
Speaker 3: It was like some completely stoned Iranian decorator that put
Speaker 3: it together.
Speaker 2: It was just ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And I didn't son. Let me tell you how dark
Speaker 3: it was. Middle of the day. It is dark, So
Speaker 3: I want to go to the restroom. And I asked
Speaker 3: where there's restaurant and someone pointed out and I go,
Speaker 3: You couldn't see, so I went up to the urinal
Speaker 3: to take a leak.
Speaker 2: I could see what was going on.
Speaker 3: No, but you know, you should have seen how angry
Speaker 3: the guy was who was in front of me at
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 5: Can you back up, sir?
Speaker 2: Uh? It was, it was. It was really interesting.
Speaker 5: You're not really somebody that I put at the at
Speaker 5: the club out there at the club yourself. It's been
Speaker 5: some years for you to be in the club.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I was never a club guy. Never just
Speaker 2: just wasn't me.
Speaker 3: Never drank, so you know, I'd have my diet coke
Speaker 3: and it just wasn't the same.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Today we have Jim Keeney is coming to board as
Speaker 3: we are every every Wednesday. We're gonna talk about full
Speaker 3: Body Mries and I have a personal story to share
Speaker 3: with you about full Body MRI.
Speaker 2: What no I do?
Speaker 3: I do a very personal story and I've got fun
Speaker 3: personal stories.
Speaker 2: I always bringing stuff to the to the table.
Speaker 5: Did it? Did it art? Or end with circ Can
Speaker 5: you remove that half a pack of roll Aids from
Speaker 5: your pocket and you say that's not roll aids, your
Speaker 5: penis bill, it's small?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, full body Oh okay, I I didn't put
Speaker 3: it together.
Speaker 2: That was that was to me.
Speaker 5: It was kind of a scre You didn't know the
Speaker 5: CEO of your company?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I really didn't any and he did say.
Speaker 3: When I apologize for not recognizing, he says, yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: I got old.
Speaker 2: I go, no kidding. Uh, we've all gotten old.
Speaker 5: So anyway, you realize he has more change in his
Speaker 5: couch than you have money in your bank.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, he does, really real. But then you
Speaker 3: know he created MTV. He was there and he was
Speaker 3: done a lot of things, yeah, he said, and then
Speaker 3: they brought him in to run ihearten. I mean, then
Speaker 3: you know the guy is fairly rarefied air to say
Speaker 3: the least.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's up there.
Speaker 3: Started as a disc jockey, by the way he started
Speaker 3: any records came out of radio.
Speaker 5: He's got a great voice. Yeah, that's why I'm saying,
Speaker 5: like you could I could hear his voice.
Speaker 2: It was so loud. I'm making excuses. All right, guys,
Speaker 2: you ready to do it?
Speaker 3: Yes, time for handle on the news, Amy Neil and
Speaker 3: Me lead story. The judge overseeing the case of that
Speaker 3: man mistakenly deported El Salvador is not happy with the
Speaker 3: Trump administration, ruling that that the administration has to facilitate
Speaker 3: having returning him, uh from l Salvador back to the States.
Speaker 3: And then you've had the State Department then you have
Speaker 3: the Trump administration.
Speaker 5: But didn't they ask and the president Salvador goes no.
Speaker 3: He was asked, they were he was asked by a
Speaker 3: reporter whether he was going to go. No. But the government,
Speaker 3: I don't think has asked for the return, even for
Speaker 3: someone to in court order.
Speaker 2: May Trump's said, hey, welcome to the White House.
Speaker 5: Hey can we have him back? No, okay, we've tried to.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know we could. And here's what the
Speaker 2: Trump administration.
Speaker 3: This is a fun part because they now, you know,
Speaker 3: we don't quite know the story. It was, yes, we
Speaker 3: made a mistake, and then no, we didn't make a mistake.
Speaker 2: That was Pambondi.
Speaker 3: And even if we did make a mistake, the government
Speaker 3: doesn't have the right to tell us to return him.
Speaker 2: The court doesn't have the jurisdiction. And even if we.
Speaker 3: Made a mistake and the court has jurisdiction, it sells
Speaker 3: Salvador's call not ours, so effectively telling the Supreme Court
Speaker 3: to go pound sand I think it went to the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, didn't it, or just the federal judge in
Speaker 3: any way, to the Supreme Court. And and Prump doesn't care.
Speaker 3: He just says too bad, and what's the court gonna do.
Speaker 3: There's no court police. I mean they have a you know,
Speaker 3: the building as a police, but they can't mandate anything
Speaker 3: other than mandate. And then theoretically we all pay attention
Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court. Now, has it happened where the
Speaker 3: president has said I don't care? Actually came close where
Speaker 3: Richard Nixon the Watergate tapes and it went up to
Speaker 3: whether they had to turn over the tapes and the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court ruled unanimously he had to, and he paid attention,
Speaker 3: but he said if it was five to four, he
Speaker 3: wasn't going to pay attention. If it was a split
Speaker 3: court decision, he wasn't going to do it. Now it
Speaker 3: happened to be unanimous, so at that point he would
Speaker 3: have to say, I don't care what the court says,
Speaker 3: and Trump is very close to that. Every argument is
Speaker 3: that the judiciary does not have the power to mandate
Speaker 3: what the president does. Scary stuff. Okay, let's take a break,
Speaker 3: we'll come back and move on. And the judge may
Speaker 3: hold the government of the United States and can tempt
Speaker 3: I don't know the last time that has happened. If Ever,
Speaker 3: how do you hold the government in contempt all right.
Speaker 6: One in thirty one.
Speaker 4: A new study out of the US Centers for Disease
Speaker 4: Control and Prevention shows autism diagnosis rates have skyrocketed. About
Speaker 4: one in thirty one kids was diagnosed with autism by
Speaker 4: the age of eight in twenty twenty two. That's up
Speaker 4: from one in thirty six in twenty twenty and from
Speaker 4: you know, like forty years ago was one in ten thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, here's what the doctors are saying, diagnose. We we
Speaker 3: now know what autism is. It's early diagnosis. They get
Speaker 3: it much much much sooner they're able to diagnose. The
Speaker 3: definition of autism has expanded traumatically. We now talk about
Speaker 3: the spectrum. And so, of course Robert F. Kennedy Junior
Speaker 3: is saying it's a pandemic. I guess people catch autism
Speaker 3: communicable disease.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know why his focus is. I mean it,
Speaker 5: obviously we should know as much as we can about
Speaker 5: anything about being human. But I wonder if we're all
Speaker 5: on the spectrument somewhere, you know, depending on how big
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the whole point. Everybody is somewhere there.
Speaker 5: Ever heard the John Cobalt Show come on that guy's
Speaker 5: got to be.
Speaker 3: It's another name is The Autism Show starring John coleblt.
Speaker 5: All right, Marjorie Taylor Green, she's a piece of work.
Speaker 5: In the hours just before President Trump announced that ninety
Speaker 5: day partial pause on a bunch of new tariffs on
Speaker 5: foreign foreign goods, he went on social media, if you remember,
Speaker 5: and said, great time to buy. So a disclosure made
Speaker 5: public on Monday, said representative Marjorie Taylor Green poured between
Speaker 5: twenty one I guess they don't have to give an
Speaker 5: exact amount, between twenty one and three hundred and fifteen
Speaker 5: thousand dollars in the stock market on Tuesday and Wednesday,
Speaker 5: investing in seventeen companies, including Apple, Elon Musk's Tesla Nodia.
Speaker 5: I mean these are not anything.
Speaker 3: No, in a couple of things about that Trump said
Speaker 3: to everybody, now is a good time to invest. So
Speaker 3: there's plenty of people who follow what Trump says. Marjorie
Speaker 3: Taylor Green will do anything that Trump says, So why
Speaker 3: why would this be different? Yeah, I mean why hold her.
Speaker 5: To She says she has a fiduciary agreement allows her
Speaker 5: financial advisor to make things without her, and that what ends.
Speaker 3: Up happening many cases is you have elected officials that
Speaker 3: put all of their assets into a blind trust where
Speaker 3: the trustee makes the decisions and doesn't even tell the
Speaker 3: trust or the person who puts some money in of
Speaker 3: any decisions. And usually the decisions are very, very conservative.
Speaker 3: So walking out of a blind trust after the official
Speaker 3: leaves office and they're virtually no money has ever made.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's not like it was discovered. Doesn't she
Speaker 5: have to disclose this stuff?
Speaker 3: Everybody has to discuss that she put it in. So,
Speaker 3: but it's she. I think she's doing everything right. So
Speaker 3: on this one, Come on, have you heard.
Speaker 4: About Nancy Pelosi's app? It's not her app, but it's
Speaker 4: an app called Autopilot that follows her investments because.
Speaker 6: The choices made are so good.
Speaker 5: Oh she had she has good mink wink luck.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, her husband was a financier as Paul I think
Speaker 3: was his name, and he the guy was wealthy, wealthy,
Speaker 3: wealthy as an investor.
Speaker 4: So I think a lot of lawmakers have made questionable investments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think you will. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's Nancy Pelosi. I don't think it's Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 3: who has taken advantage of her position as a legislator
Speaker 3: to make money. I think she's already wealthy in her
Speaker 3: own right. And she and Donald Trump didn't put his
Speaker 3: assets into a blind trust. He just had his kids
Speaker 3: talk about it to run it for him. Now he's
Speaker 3: the only president's ever done that.
Speaker 4: Biden's come out of hiding president to former President. Biden
Speaker 4: made his first public appearance since he left the White House.
Speaker 4: He was in Chicago at a conference of disability advocates
Speaker 4: last night, and he came out swing and accusing President
Speaker 4: Trump of taking a hatchet to the Social Security administration.
Speaker 6: He says that what Trump is doing.
Speaker 4: Is jeopardizing the future of Social Security for millions of
Speaker 4: seniors and disabled Americans who depend on it. Trump has
Speaker 4: repeatedly said he's not touching social Security.
Speaker 5: But what is this the tariffs that are causing the
Speaker 5: effect to.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no tariffs. And I was so security.
Speaker 5: Now what social Security? It doesn't isn't the money in
Speaker 5: stocks or no? No, no, what does it do?
Speaker 3: It's paid out of the general fund for the most part.
Speaker 5: Uh. And it's a chant. They don't invest it at all.
Speaker 2: Nope, wow, No, it's just checks.
Speaker 3: That are written from the government and every year it
Speaker 3: goes up and it's inflati.
Speaker 5: That was the only tie I could make.
Speaker 3: No, no, no. And by the way, I don't think
Speaker 3: he is taking money out of or reducing money. I
Speaker 3: think didn't Doze cut the staff at Social Security And
Speaker 3: is that what he's talking about.
Speaker 4: Don't know, he said, And he says that that they're jeopardized,
Speaker 4: jeopardizing the future of it and taking a hatchet to it.
Speaker 6: So I don't know exactly what.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 4: He's taking a hatchet to some jobs which Doge says
Speaker 4: are inefficient, fraudulent, well not needed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he says that, yeah that, well, all all the.
Speaker 3: Agencies and the bureaucracies we have have to be taken
Speaker 3: a hatchet too, because there's so much fraud, and there
Speaker 3: is a lot of fraud. I mean, they there's programs
Speaker 3: out there that are insane. But you can't do that
Speaker 3: with that broad a brush. And social Security is honest
Speaker 3: way to becoming broke anyway, because the whole premise of
Speaker 3: Social Security is existing employees paying to Social Security to
Speaker 3: pay employees who have retired. And when it first started,
Speaker 3: I think it was five to one or eight to
Speaker 3: one working people paid into retirees because at sixty five
Speaker 3: retirees died within a year or two. My mother died
Speaker 3: at ninety eight, receiving social security from the time shaker
Speaker 3: early because she has some medical stuff at fifty eight,
Speaker 3: So how many of that fifty eight to ninety eight
Speaker 3: she had forty years of social security?
Speaker 5: So this was a conference, a conference of disability advocates.
Speaker 5: Was here he speaking or was he just an ten d?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was sponsored by a hearing aid company, wasn't
Speaker 2: it what? Okay?
Speaker 5: I realized Homelessness is not a crime, as you will
Speaker 5: be told by every part politician, but it can be
Speaker 5: a problem. New memo from interim LAFD chief Ronnie Vianueva
Speaker 5: says a surgeon calls to help the homeless shows even
Speaker 5: more just how strapped the department is for resources. So
Speaker 5: fiscal year of twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five,
Speaker 5: the city allocated nine hundred and sixty one million dollars
Speaker 5: to homelessness. You want to know the LAFD budget for
Speaker 5: that same fiscal year, well under that about eight hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty sevens.
Speaker 3: It's the other way around. There's beending more on No,
Speaker 3: you're right, Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, homelessness. They
Speaker 3: spent a lot more than for the LAFFC.
Speaker 5: So they say that a third of all fires, about
Speaker 5: thirty two zero point nine to one percent that the
Speaker 5: department responded to in the last six years, involve a
Speaker 5: member of the homeless community. This is a hot topic.
Speaker 5: The burning question is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: You know, we get reports of fires every morning. Every morning.
Speaker 4: There's stuff on ramp, on fire, underpass, on fire.
Speaker 3: You know, they light fires to keep warm. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's all they're sick there. You don't even report them,
Speaker 3: do you Amy?
Speaker 4: No, And when they're reported, they're not reported as homeless fires,
Speaker 4: which they we know they are, but they're not reported
Speaker 4: that way.
Speaker 5: Ye just tell where the location.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know there's a political around there. You can't
Speaker 2: you Yeah, it just drives your nuts, right. You can't
Speaker 2: ask if someone's illegal.
Speaker 3: You can't mention that there is for example, you can't
Speaker 3: mention that the guys at home depot that used to
Speaker 3: be in the driveway. No, you can't refer to them
Speaker 3: as illegal migrants. They're just people there. And anyway, so
Speaker 3: the homeless lighting everything on fire, but you can't really accuse.
Speaker 2: Them of that.
Speaker 4: Tickets no longer required. That may be the case next
Speaker 4: time you go to the airport. The International Civil Aviation
Speaker 4: Organization i c AO has announced plans to eliminate paper
Speaker 4: boarding passes and check in as we know it. So
Speaker 4: soon you could get a digital travel credential, which I
Speaker 4: already use a lot of people are okay, I already
Speaker 4: do that.
Speaker 6: But which stored on your smartphone.
Speaker 4: And then they use facial recognition to get you through
Speaker 4: the airport.
Speaker 2: Yes, technology, and you zip through. You're zipping through. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you have.
Speaker 5: Global re entry and stuff like that, it's all facial.
Speaker 2: They did it with Max, with me with my wife.
Speaker 5: All right, FAA test drone detection equipment there in New
Speaker 5: Jersey after those really weird unexplained drone sightings in that
Speaker 5: state last year. You remember all those. Yeah, for over
Speaker 5: two weeks or so they've been testing. This stuff includes
Speaker 5: about one hundred off the shelf unmanned aerial systems. And
Speaker 5: you know, the Canadians.
Speaker 3: Drones are dangerous. They have to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 3: They can't be in the wrong hands. Sure, one more.
Speaker 6: Amy Canadians, come on down.
Speaker 4: Governor Newsom has unveiled the tourism campaign campaign urging Canadians
Speaker 4: to come experience.
Speaker 6: Our California Love.
Speaker 4: Why because there's been a decline in tourist visits from Canadians.
Speaker 6: He says in the video.
Speaker 4: Sure you know who is trying to stir things up
Speaker 4: back in DC, but don't let that ruin your beach plans.
Speaker 3: Have you seen the billboards? I have not out there
Speaker 3: and say we think he's a dick too. They don't
Speaker 3: really Neil, you would have that billboard? Would you used
Speaker 3: to do all the billboards for KFI?
Speaker 5: I would pitch some pretty rough ones to see if
Speaker 5: it got passed through. But I say I knew he
Speaker 5: was pandering when he said, come on out, see what's
Speaker 5: California's all a boot?
Speaker 2: That's not bad, not bad.
Speaker 5: We're not gonna take it, all right, you can leave
Speaker 5: it anymore, all right. LA will set aside three million
Speaker 5: dollars to help owners of fire damaged homes. This specifically
Speaker 5: is to test soil for lead. You have Supervisors Catherine
Speaker 5: Barger and Lindsay Horvath proposed this motion after Polymary Preliminary
Speaker 5: test results that they released last week showed lead levels
Speaker 5: above state health standards and many eighty percent of soil
Speaker 5: samples collected.
Speaker 3: But this isn't like the Eaton burns, the Eaten Star
Speaker 3: fire because Palisades homes are much newer and don't have.
Speaker 5: The Yeah, so you go back to those those beautiful
Speaker 5: old homes that they have in that area and yeah,
Speaker 5: like they need something else.
Speaker 4: China's economy seems to be booming. They just put out
Speaker 4: the report saying that it had five per fourth okay,
Speaker 4: five point four percent economic growth for the first three
Speaker 4: months of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: That we're huge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and of course it doesn't include the tariffs. They
Speaker 4: don't include the impact of those reciprocal tariffs which kicked
Speaker 4: in in April. The overall tariffs on China are now
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty five percent, So.
Speaker 3: Except for high end electronics, those have been put on
Speaker 3: hold and phones.
Speaker 5: And aren't they looking at the possibility of cars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're exempting like, oh, we don't have Chinese cars.
Speaker 3: No, China doesn't sell cars here because there is I
Speaker 3: don't even know why, because it's even with a tariff,
Speaker 3: Chinese cars would be cheaper than our cars.
Speaker 6: So doesn't China have good cars?
Speaker 3: They have great cars and they're half the price China
Speaker 3: revis electric cars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, China's biggest car market in the world. But there
Speaker 2: are no American cars.
Speaker 6: In China, and there's no Chinese cars in America.
Speaker 2: That's correct.
Speaker 5: The Agriculture Department is fact tracking state request to yank
Speaker 5: soda and candy from food stamp programs. It's going to
Speaker 5: start probably in Arkansas and Indiana. They're first in line there.
Speaker 5: But this makes somewhat sense.
Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 5: You don't want to be you know, why buy use
Speaker 5: government money to buy garbage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it used to be you couldn't use snap
Speaker 3: money for anything other than groceries. You couldn't use it
Speaker 3: at delis, for example, the deli section of the store.
Speaker 3: Couldn't use snap money for that because that's processed food.
Speaker 2: All you could do was for groceries.
Speaker 3: Couldn't buy alcohol, couldn't buy cigarett, couldn't go to fast
Speaker 3: food establishments.
Speaker 2: Now it's wide open. You've seen all of these fast foods.
Speaker 3: We accept EBT or BTT money, and I think that's
Speaker 3: stamp money, that's food stamps.
Speaker 2: Great. I completely agree with this. Of course, the American
Speaker 2: beverage industry.
Speaker 3: Says restricting soda from food stamp benefits won't make an
Speaker 3: ounce of difference on health.
Speaker 4: All right, it's a field of Olympic dreams. LA twenty
Speaker 4: twenty eight, which is the Olympic Organizing Committee for the
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Olympics, has announced that Dodgers Stadium, of course,
Speaker 4: home of the rainy World Series champion LA Dodgers, will
Speaker 4: host a baseball tournament when baseball returns as an official
Speaker 4: Olympic sport in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 6: I think that's a good choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of I like Olympic sports coming back.
Speaker 6: And a Dodgers stadium.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And you see it goes back and forth too. Sports.
Speaker 3: Some are added, some are taken away. Baseball was included
Speaker 3: and it was taken away. Bad mitton was around for
Speaker 3: a while, Gone Ping pong was around for a while.
Speaker 4: Gone squash is making its debut this year and it's
Speaker 4: going to be played at the Universal Studios.
Speaker 3: Ye, Hopscotch is coming back. It is not Hacky Sack
Speaker 3: coming back.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised if that one became.
Speaker 5: I missed that miss you know, the badminton, Yeah, just
Speaker 5: because you got to say Shuttlecock.
Speaker 7: Yeah, federal regulators have accused the nation's largest private apartment
Speaker 7: landlord of soaking tenants with a bunch of these hidden
Speaker 7: fees for years and years and years.
Speaker 5: Bulking up its bottom line with billions of dollars because
Speaker 5: the way that they advertised. The name of the Carolina,
Speaker 5: South Carolina based landlord is gray Star, and they're saying
Speaker 5: that gray Star only disclosed the true rental prices after
Speaker 5: prospective tenants had paid application fees or signed their leases.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, uh, there's a pop up disclaimer. Rents are base rents.
Speaker 3: At least you're being told it's a base rent. And
Speaker 3: then well it's like, oh, how about this, you fly
Speaker 3: on your fee, yeah, resort fee, which you don't know about.
Speaker 2: All you have is your basic fee for a hotel room.
Speaker 3: Or how about flying on an airplane with the junk
Speaker 3: fees that are thrown on that.
Speaker 5: So bring all eight carry ons, man.
Speaker 2: And there even be charges some airlines for carryons.
Speaker 4: What what it's true those low cost carriers like Avelo,
Speaker 4: it charges for carryons. All right, do you want to
Speaker 4: skip to do you want to do the Amazon ROBOTAXI?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Sure, that's neil oh sure, a Zekes Dad zokes Zekes,
Speaker 5: the autonomous driving technology company owned by Amazon, is preparing
Speaker 5: to begin testing its vehicles here in Los Angeles this summer.
Speaker 5: So the city will be the sixth testing location for
Speaker 5: the Bay Area based venture, which does not yet offer
Speaker 5: rights to the public, but it was founded in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 5: acquired by Amazon in twenty twenty. And you know, it's
Speaker 5: all these new self driving technologies they're trying to.
Speaker 3: Make way more by Alphabet Google parent company.
Speaker 2: You got the major companies buying into these.
