Yeah, that's why I'm saying, 126 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.240 like you could I could hear his voice. 127 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.240 It was so loud. I'm making excuses. All right, guys, 128 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:11.040 you ready to do it? 129 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.240 Yes, time for handle on the news, Amy Neil and 130 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:25.759 Me lead story. The judge overseeing the case of that 131 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.519 man mistakenly deported El Salvador is not happy with the 132 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:35.240 Trump administration, ruling that that the administration has to facilitate 133 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.600 having returning him, uh from l Salvador back to the States. 134 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.480 And then you've had the State Department then you have 135 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:42.720 the Trump administration. 136 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.319 But didn't they ask and the president Salvador goes no. 137 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.079 He was asked, they were he was asked by a 138 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.759 reporter whether he was going to go. No. But the government, 139 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.360 I don't think has asked for the return, even for 140 00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.519 someone to in court order. 141 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.360 May Trump's said, hey, welcome to the White House. 142 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.920 Hey can we have him back? No, okay, we've tried to. 143 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.199 Well, we don't know we could. And here's what the 144 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.079 Trump administration. 145 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:10.759 This is a fun part because they now, you know, 146 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.680 we don't quite know the story. It was, yes, we 147 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.000 made a mistake, and then no, we didn't make a mistake. 148 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.399 That was Pambondi. 149 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.519 And even if we did make a mistake, the government 150 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.959 doesn't have the right to tell us to return him. 151 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.800 The court doesn't have the jurisdiction. And even if we. 152 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.000 Made a mistake and the court has jurisdiction, it sells 153 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.839 Salvador's call not ours, so effectively telling the Supreme Court 154 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.279 to go pound sand I think it went to the 155 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.720 Supreme Court, didn't it, or just the federal judge in 156 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.800 any way, to the Supreme Court. And and Prump doesn't care. 157 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.439 He just says too bad, and what's the court gonna do. 158 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.199 There's no court police. I mean they have a you know, 159 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.160 the building as a police, but they can't mandate anything 160 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.519 other than mandate. And then theoretically we all pay attention 161 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:12.240 to the Supreme Court. Now, has it happened where the 162 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.560 president has said I don't care? Actually came close where 163 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.000 Richard Nixon the Watergate tapes and it went up to 164 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.079 whether they had to turn over the tapes and the 165 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.480 Supreme Court ruled unanimously he had to, and he paid attention, 166 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:27.959 but he said if it was five to four, he 167 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:32.240 wasn't going to pay attention. If it was a split 168 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.279 court decision, he wasn't going to do it. Now it 169 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.240 happened to be unanimous, so at that point he would 170 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.200 have to say, I don't care what the court says, 171 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.320 and Trump is very close to that. Every argument is 172 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.559 that the judiciary does not have the power to mandate 173 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:53.559 what the president does. Scary stuff. Okay, let's take a break, 174 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.639 we'll come back and move on. And the judge may 175 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.399 hold the government of the United States and can tempt 176 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.720 I don't know the last time that has happened. If Ever, 177 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.000 how do you hold the government in contempt all right. 178 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.399 One in thirty one. 179 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.679 A new study out of the US Centers for Disease 180 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:20.240 Control and Prevention shows autism diagnosis rates have skyrocketed. About 181 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.360 one in thirty one kids was diagnosed with autism by 182 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.320 the age of eight in twenty twenty two. That's up 183 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.679 from one in thirty six in twenty twenty and from 184 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.759 you know, like forty years ago was one in ten thousand. 185 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:31.039 Yeah. 186 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.519 Well, here's what the doctors are saying, diagnose. We we 187 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.440 now know what autism is. It's early diagnosis. They get 188 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:44.159 it much much much sooner they're able to diagnose. The 189 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:49.159 definition of autism has expanded traumatically. We now talk about 190 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.519 the spectrum. And so, of course Robert F. Kennedy Junior 191 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:59.440 is saying it's a pandemic. I guess people catch autism 192 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.240 communicable disease. 193 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.720 Yeah, I don't know why his focus is. I mean it, 194 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.679 obviously we should know as much as we can about 195 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.519 anything about being human. But I wonder if we're all 196 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.200 on the spectrument somewhere, you know, depending on how big 197 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.519 it is. 198 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.279 Yeah, that's the whole point. Everybody is somewhere there. 199 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.720 Ever heard the John Cobalt Show come on that guy's 200 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.039 got to be. 201 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.279 It's another name is The Autism Show starring John coleblt. 202 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.120 All right, Marjorie Taylor Green, she's a piece of work. 203 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.360 In the hours just before President Trump announced that ninety 204 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.720 day partial pause on a bunch of new tariffs on 205 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.559 foreign foreign goods, he went on social media, if you remember, 206 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.279 and said, great time to buy. So a disclosure made 207 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.879 public on Monday, said representative Marjorie Taylor Green poured between 208 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.720 twenty one I guess they don't have to give an 209 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.679 exact amount, between twenty one and three hundred and fifteen 210 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.480 thousand dollars in the stock market on Tuesday and Wednesday, 211 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:12.279 investing in seventeen companies, including Apple, Elon Musk's Tesla Nodia. 212 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.360 I mean these are not anything. 213 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.600 No, in a couple of things about that Trump said 214 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.919 to everybody, now is a good time to invest. So 215 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.799 there's plenty of people who follow what Trump says. Marjorie 216 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.559 Taylor Green will do anything that Trump says, So why 217 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.360 why would this be different? Yeah, I mean why hold her. 218 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.440 To She says she has a fiduciary agreement allows her 219 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.320 financial advisor to make things without her, and that what ends. 220 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.519 Up happening many cases is you have elected officials that 221 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.240 put all of their assets into a blind trust where 222 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:50.320 the trustee makes the decisions and doesn't even tell the 223 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.159 trust or the person who puts some money in of 224 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:59.320 any decisions. And usually the decisions are very, very conservative. 225 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.200 So walking out of a blind trust after the official 226 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.039 leaves office and they're virtually no money has ever made. 227 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.519 Yeah, but it's not like it was discovered. Doesn't she 228 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.879 have to disclose this stuff? 229 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.559 Everybody has to discuss that she put it in. So, 230 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.720 but it's she. I think she's doing everything right. So 231 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.759 on this one, Come on, have you heard. 232 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.240 About Nancy Pelosi's app? It's not her app, but it's 233 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.279 an app called Autopilot that follows her investments because. 234 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.919 The choices made are so good. 235 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.639 Oh she had she has good mink wink luck. 236 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.159 Yeah. 237 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.799 Well, her husband was a financier as Paul I think 238 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.200 was his name, and he the guy was wealthy, wealthy, 239 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.799 wealthy as an investor. 240 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:47.559 So I think a lot of lawmakers have made questionable investments. 241 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.000 Yeah, but I don't think you will. I don't think 242 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.879 it's Nancy Pelosi. I don't think it's Marjorie Taylor Green 243 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.200 who has taken advantage of her position as a legislator 244 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.399 to make money. I think she's already wealthy in her 245 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.120 own right. And she and Donald Trump didn't put his 246 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.759 assets into a blind trust. He just had his kids 247 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.960 talk about it to run it for him. Now he's 248 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.200 the only president's ever done that. 249 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:17.320 Biden's come out of hiding president to former President. Biden 250 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.440 made his first public appearance since he left the White House. 251 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.799 He was in Chicago at a conference of disability advocates 252 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.559 last night, and he came out swing and accusing President 253 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.840 Trump of taking a hatchet to the Social Security administration. 254 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.519 He says that what Trump is doing. 255 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.919 Is jeopardizing the future of Social Security for millions of 256 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.240 seniors and disabled Americans who depend on it. Trump has 257 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.879 repeatedly said he's not touching social Security. 258 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.960 But what is this the tariffs that are causing the 259 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.600 effect to. 260 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.080 No, no, no, no tariffs. And I was so security. 261 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.080 Now what social Security? It doesn't isn't the money in 262 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.519 stocks or no? No, no, what does it do? 263 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.279 It's paid out of the general fund for the most part. 264 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.200 Uh. And it's a chant. They don't invest it at all. 265 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.360 Nope, wow, No, it's just checks. 266 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.240 That are written from the government and every year it 267 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.639 goes up and it's inflati. 268 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:12.200 That was the only tie I could make. 269 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.600 No, no, no. And by the way, I don't think 270 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:19.240 he is taking money out of or reducing money. I 271 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.159 think didn't Doze cut the staff at Social Security And 272 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:25.440 is that what he's talking about. 273 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.840 Don't know, he said, And he says that that they're jeopardized, 274 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.240 jeopardizing the future of it and taking a hatchet to it. 275 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:35.960 So I don't know exactly what. 276 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:37.320 I don't know what that means. 277 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.200 He's taking a hatchet to some jobs which Doge says 278 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.639 are inefficient, fraudulent, well not needed. 279 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.080 Yeah, well he says that, yeah that, well, all all the. 280 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.240 Agencies and the bureaucracies we have have to be taken 281 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.320 a hatchet too, because there's so much fraud, and there 282 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.279 is a lot of fraud. I mean, they there's programs 283 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.919 out there that are insane. But you can't do that 284 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.080 with that broad a brush. And social Security is honest 285 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.600 way to becoming broke anyway, because the whole premise of 286 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:12.960 Social Security is existing employees paying to Social Security to 287 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.799 pay employees who have retired. And when it first started, 288 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.600 I think it was five to one or eight to 289 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:24.200 one working people paid into retirees because at sixty five 290 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.879 retirees died within a year or two. My mother died 291 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:32.840 at ninety eight, receiving social security from the time shaker 292 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.279 early because she has some medical stuff at fifty eight, 293 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.480 So how many of that fifty eight to ninety eight 294 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.360 she had forty years of social security? 295 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.840 So this was a conference, a conference of disability advocates. 296 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.240 Was here he speaking or was he just an ten d? 297 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.240 Yeah? It was sponsored by a hearing aid company, wasn't 298 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.080 it what? Okay? 299 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.919 I realized Homelessness is not a crime, as you will 300 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.960 be told by every part politician, but it can be 301 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:08.159 a problem. New memo from interim LAFD chief Ronnie Vianueva 302 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.360 says a surgeon calls to help the homeless shows even 303 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.639 more just how strapped the department is for resources. So 304 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.720 fiscal year of twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five, 305 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.000 the city allocated nine hundred and sixty one million dollars 306 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:31.120 to homelessness. You want to know the LAFD budget for 307 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.799 that same fiscal year, well under that about eight hundred 308 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.559 and thirty sevens. 309 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.559 It's the other way around. There's beending more on No, 310 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.639 you're right, Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, homelessness. They 311 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.080 spent a lot more than for the LAFFC. 312 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.519 So they say that a third of all fires, about 313 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.879 thirty two zero point nine to one percent that the 314 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.120 department responded to in the last six years, involve a 315 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.840 member of the homeless community. This is a hot topic. 316 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:00.159 The burning question is. 317 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:01.559 Yeah. 318 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.640 You know, we get reports of fires every morning. Every morning. 319 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.599 There's stuff on ramp, on fire, underpass, on fire. 320 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.839 You know, they light fires to keep warm. I mean, 321 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.440 there's all they're sick there. You don't even report them, 322 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.039 do you Amy? 323 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.200 No, And when they're reported, they're not reported as homeless fires, 324 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.799 which they we know they are, but they're not reported 325 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:27.079 that way. 326 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.519 Ye just tell where the location. 327 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.759 Yeah, I know there's a political around there. You can't 328 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.400 you Yeah, it just drives your nuts, right. You can't 329 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:36.680 ask if someone's illegal. 330 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.599 You can't mention that there is for example, you can't 331 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.680 mention that the guys at home depot that used to 332 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.559 be in the driveway. No, you can't refer to them 333 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:54.480 as illegal migrants. They're just people there. And anyway, so 334 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:59.759 the homeless lighting everything on fire, but you can't really accuse. 335 00:17:59.440 --> 00:17:59.880 Them of that. 336 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:06.160 Tickets no longer required. That may be the case next 337 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.039 time you go to the airport. The International Civil Aviation 338 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.960 Organization i c AO has announced plans to eliminate paper 339 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.440 boarding passes and check in as we know it. So 340 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.359 soon you could get a digital travel credential, which I 341 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.279 already use a lot of people are okay, I already 342 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.039 do that. 343 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.799 But which stored on your smartphone. 344 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.240 And then they use facial recognition to get you through 345 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:30.759 the airport. 346 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.559 Yes, technology, and you zip through. You're zipping through. Yeah, 347 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.519 if you have. 348 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.160 Global re entry and stuff like that, it's all facial. 349 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.319 They did it with Max, with me with my wife. 350 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.359 All right, FAA test drone detection equipment there in New 351 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.359 Jersey after those really weird unexplained drone sightings in that 352 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.279 state last year. You remember all those. Yeah, for over 353 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.119 two weeks or so they've been testing. This stuff includes 354 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:07.240 about one hundred off the shelf unmanned aerial systems. And 355 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.200 you know, the Canadians. 356 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.119 Drones are dangerous. They have to figure out what's going on. 357 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.440 They can't be in the wrong hands. Sure, one more. 358 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.839 Amy Canadians, come on down. 359 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.680 Governor Newsom has unveiled the tourism campaign campaign urging Canadians 360 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.799 to come experience. 361 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.599 Our California Love. 362 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:35.759 Why because there's been a decline in tourist visits from Canadians. 363 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.920 He says in the video. 364 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.759 Sure you know who is trying to stir things up 365 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.759 back in DC, but don't let that ruin your beach plans. 366 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.480 Have you seen the billboards? I have not out there 367 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.359 and say we think he's a dick too. They don't 368 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.920 really Neil, you would have that billboard? Would you used 369 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.839 to do all the billboards for KFI? 370 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.319 I would pitch some pretty rough ones to see if 371 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:05.200 it got passed through.
