Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 1: Am six forty and now Handle on the news. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, here's not Bill Handle.
Speaker 2: Hi, it's Chris merriland for Bill once again, what are
Speaker 2: we is? It? Just? Is it just Tuesday?
Speaker 3: This has been the longest the longest, I mean yesterday
Speaker 3: was like the longest month I've ever experienced. So it
Speaker 3: was really something good to be with you once again.
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
Speaker 3: Let me start this out, so if you if you
Speaker 3: tune in on Sunday afternoons and evenings, that's.
Speaker 2: That's normally when you hear me.
Speaker 3: We follow oftentimes other guest hosts who are on Sunday afternoons,
Speaker 3: and many times what we'll do is we'll invite somebody
Speaker 3: in from one of the TV stations that we'll come
Speaker 3: and host a couple of hours, and it's exciting for them.
Speaker 3: They're very pretty people, so you know, we really get
Speaker 3: a chance to highlight their intellect and instead of just
Speaker 3: everybody that stares at the TV news and they just
Speaker 3: oggle over the pretty people. One of the things that
Speaker 3: goes on behind the scenes, though, is one of our anchors,
Speaker 3: Andrew Caravella, is incredibly talented, but he is such a
Speaker 3: selfie hog. Anytime one of these TV people comes in,
Speaker 3: Caravella follows them around.
Speaker 2: Can I get at a selfie? Can I get a picture?
Speaker 2: Can I get it?
Speaker 3: He must have one of those shrines in his in
Speaker 3: his office or whatever. That is just him with pictures
Speaker 3: of random people. Nobody gets more attention, whether it's from
Speaker 3: anchor Andrew Carabella, or the the tech directors or even
Speaker 3: my producer who just vanishes whenever Marla Teez comes in
Speaker 3: from Fox. And she's been at a few times, and
Speaker 3: Marla is a lovely person and she does a great
Speaker 3: job when she's in. She just had a baby, and
Speaker 3: so we want to start by saying congratulations to Marlata
Speaker 3: as she just she gave birth and so that is great.
Speaker 2: She is amy.
Speaker 3: Do we count her as part of the KFI family? Absolutely,
Speaker 3: she's KFI extended family.
Speaker 2: Yep, Okay, all right, KFI extended family.
Speaker 3: Welcoming and yes, Marlateez and she's got she got her
Speaker 3: hands full now, which means that now Andrew Caravella has
Speaker 3: to go get another selfie with her kid. I guess
Speaker 3: which is gonna be awkward. But he doesn't care. He
Speaker 3: just follows her around.
Speaker 2: Hey, Marla, gotta get selfie.
Speaker 3: And the thing is, it's not just one selfies. Every
Speaker 3: time they come in, he gets another one. Don't you
Speaker 3: think one would be enough? Is he creating like a
Speaker 3: flip book of selfies? It's the weirdest thing. He's so bizarre.
Speaker 3: All right, let's do a handle on the news, Chris
Speaker 3: Merrill in four handle today. And you heard Amy talking
Speaker 3: about this this morning during the wake up call. A
Speaker 3: lot of attention on Hillary Clinton's emails and the private serp.
Speaker 2: That's incorrect, that story's old.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, nobody else is using unsecured, non governmental
Speaker 3: equipment in order to pass confidential messages.
Speaker 2: Around, So I guess we can move on.
Speaker 3: Oh, Amy tells me we are, We are using unsecured
Speaker 3: Oh well, why are we doing that? I thought we
Speaker 3: learned our lesson from Hillary Clinton and her private email server.
Speaker 3: Then then we go through this already, we already know
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to use anything except government secured.
Speaker 2: We didn't.
Speaker 4: And don't you find it very strange that they're talking
Speaker 4: about war plans or launching strikes or you know, the
Speaker 4: specific zhivicy on a text message? Yeah, that just is
Speaker 4: so bizarre and apparently Karen Travers was telling us this
Speaker 4: text string went on for days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is like, hey guys, you hanging this weekend?
Speaker 2: Who's in We're gonna start, We're going to meet it to.
Speaker 3: Sizzler and then we're gonna make our way to what's
Speaker 3: the next thing good, Then we'll go to the game
Speaker 3: and then maybe pizza Hut after.
Speaker 2: I don't know whatever it is. So here's what was
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 3: Is it sounds like you had a number of high
Speaker 3: end officials who were planning this attack in Yemen and
Speaker 3: this was going to be on the hooty Rebels, right.
Speaker 3: They were using the Signal messaging app. Now, Signal messaging
Speaker 3: app is a little more secure than say Reddit. Signal
Speaker 3: has end to end encryption, which does make it more
Speaker 3: difficult to breach, but it is certainly not classified and it's.
Speaker 2: Not what they call this skiff, you know. The skiff
Speaker 2: is the high.
Speaker 3: End the secured classified information chambers that they set up.
Speaker 3: And so they were using this messaging app and it
Speaker 3: sounds like we had the Secretary of Defense, we had
Speaker 3: the Vice president, we had the National Security Advisor, and
Speaker 3: then the National Security Advisor seems to inadvertently added the
Speaker 3: phone number of a journalist. There are a lot of
Speaker 3: questions swirling, like, how do you inadvertently add a journalist?
Speaker 2: You have to have their phone number.
Speaker 3: Did the journalists just happen to share the same name
Speaker 3: or contact information, or was his phone number one digit
Speaker 3: off of somebody else's it. The whole story is incredibly bizarre.
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about this coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3: But the whole thing is bizarre because now we're using
Speaker 3: this messaging app, reporter's been added. Reporter thought it was
Speaker 3: a hoax because the reporter, to Amy's point, how odd
Speaker 3: that they would use a messaging app to discuss war plans.
Speaker 3: And he thought, this can't be real. Somebody's trying to
Speaker 3: somebody's fishing here, somebody's trying to catch me.
Speaker 2: I no, he says.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, they did start attacking
Speaker 3: the houthy militants in Yemen. So and they did so
Speaker 3: according to all of the different plans that were laid
Speaker 3: out during this messaging app. Now, Pete Hegseith, the Secretary
Speaker 3: of Defenses, we were not laying out any sort of
Speaker 3: war plans. But also this journalist is stupid. You got
Speaker 3: to understand journalists is dumb and nobody should believe the journalists.
Speaker 2: And their their their dumbness.
Speaker 3: The problem is the journalists brought receipts, as the kids
Speaker 3: would say, and so with the journalists providing screenshots of
Speaker 3: exactly went down, makes it very difficult to discredit the journalist. Again,
Speaker 3: receipts are there. So this story is developing. No word
Speaker 3: on whether or not Hillary Clinton's emails have ever been
Speaker 3: found to be incorrect. What will be interesting, though the
Speaker 3: Democrats are attacking this, is an unforced there by the Republicans.
Speaker 3: The Democrats are attacking this, but it's going to be
Speaker 3: very difficult for the Democrats to attack it because they
Speaker 3: spent so long defending Hillary Clinton's private server usage. So
Speaker 3: the only attack that they have is not necessarily that
Speaker 3: they use the unsecured chat although again end to end encryption.
Speaker 3: What they're going to argue is that the Republicans are hypocrites,
Speaker 3: and I don't think the Republicans care. This isn't going
Speaker 3: to cost any votes. It just is going to raise
Speaker 3: some eyebrows along the way, Amy King, do you live?
Speaker 4: Nation has settled because no one wants to go to court.
Speaker 4: Right Live Nation has agreed to a twenty million dollars
Speaker 4: settlement with its investors over the claims that the company
Speaker 4: did not disclose risks of business practices that exposed the
Speaker 4: firm to federal antitrust action. What kinds of business practices, Well,
Speaker 4: things like charging high fees, bundling service, retaliating against venues
Speaker 4: that used non Ticketmaster ticketing services. The lawsuit had claimed.
Speaker 4: The legal risks included a Justice Department investigation after Taylor
Speaker 4: Swift Ara's tour on sale. Remember that whole Debaco where
Speaker 4: it crashed the system and people couldn't get tickets and
Speaker 4: all of that. Yeah, so they said their business practices
Speaker 4: exposed those investors to legal risks and they settled.
Speaker 2: Oh so they got rid of that. Doesn't this feel like?
Speaker 2: This feels like we were arguing over ticket Master and.
Speaker 3: Their business practices when Pearl Jam was complaining about them
Speaker 3: back in the nineties. Thank god, what's old is new again?
Speaker 3: I guess if you'll recall a few years back, we got.
Speaker 2: A new.
Speaker 3: Head of the postal service, Lewis de Joy, and he
Speaker 3: came in and he started streamlining. He said, I'm going
Speaker 3: to start cutting things and you may remember the photographs
Speaker 3: of pulling some of the old equipment out and that
Speaker 3: was being pushed out and disabled, and people were concerned
Speaker 3: about will votes be counted?
Speaker 2: Is this a way to delay the count on some
Speaker 2: of these votes?
Speaker 3: This is back in twenty sixteen, I think anyway, Now
Speaker 3: Lewis de Joy is resigning as the head of the
Speaker 3: Postal Service. So now the Postal Service, we don't know
Speaker 3: what the future is going to be because there are calls.
Speaker 2: For privatizing the US Postal Service.
Speaker 3: The Trump administration is scrutinizing Uspsdjoy said that while the
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty year old service had made beneficial
Speaker 3: change to what had been in a drift in morb
Speaker 3: an organization, there's still more work to be done.
Speaker 2: He says.
Speaker 3: It's been one of the pleasures of my life and
Speaker 3: a crowning achievement of my career to have been associated
Speaker 3: with his cherished institution.
Speaker 2: So oh I.
Speaker 3: Said twenty sixteen, No, it was a twenty twenty sod
Speaker 3: Joia was appointed Postmaster General during the pandemic. He announced
Speaker 3: plans actually that he was going to resign or that
Speaker 3: he was going to retire.
Speaker 2: Now he's just done it.
Speaker 3: And we'll see what happens, because there's been conversation about
Speaker 3: turning the postal service over to another government agency in
Speaker 3: order to once again streamline what's going on.
Speaker 4: And it's time to make a plan for summer. Yosemite
Speaker 4: National Park has announced reservations are open for summer camping.
Speaker 4: I haven't camped there in so long. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 4: New reservation system and staff cuts caused delays in opening
Speaker 4: up the reservation system back in February. The reservations were
Speaker 4: put on hold because they had to get approval for
Speaker 4: to implement a new implement a new reservation system, and
Speaker 4: then came the cuts, the DOGE cuts. But now they're
Speaker 4: saying those people have been hired back and they're good
Speaker 4: to go, and the reservation systems approved and they're gonna
Speaker 4: take the reservations starting now.
Speaker 3: If you got doged and then they called you and
Speaker 3: they said, oops, we weren't supposed to doge, you would
Speaker 3: you go back?
Speaker 4: If I worked in a national park, probably probably a cool.
Speaker 3: Nues that's true. Yeah, you make a good point, you
Speaker 3: make it. I guess it depends on the job. But
Speaker 3: if I'm just if I'm somebody working in an office
Speaker 3: job for the government. I'm immediately trying to get my
Speaker 3: resume out so somebody else will hire me, because I
Speaker 3: don't want to deal with that that insecurity of wondering
Speaker 3: if my job is going to be there tomorrow. We
Speaker 3: doesn't have any idea to Venezuela. We have spoken more
Speaker 3: about Venezuela in the last three weeks and I think
Speaker 3: we ever have in the past. Donald Trump saying yesterday
Speaker 3: that he is going to impose a twenty five percent
Speaker 3: tariff on any nation that purchases oil from Venezuela, saying,
Speaker 3: Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and
Speaker 3: the freedoms which we espouse. Therefore, any country that purchases
Speaker 3: oil and or gas from Venezuela will be forced to
Speaker 3: pay a tariff of twenty five percent to the United
Speaker 3: States on any trade they do with our country. So
Speaker 3: he's claimed that Venezuela has purposefully and deceitfully sent criminals,
Speaker 3: including violent individuals and members of gangs to the United States.
Speaker 3: My favorite is when he says that they are sending
Speaker 3: people from insane asylums. I don't think anyone has used
Speaker 3: the phrase insane asylums since the nineteen seventies. But by god,
Speaker 3: we hear they're sending people from insane asylums, and that
Speaker 3: just makes me giggle every time I hear it. So
Speaker 3: Venezuela is attacking us by sending gang members, and so
Speaker 3: we are going to impose tariffs, which of course will
Speaker 3: raise prices on everything for the Americans, and that'll show.
Speaker 2: Back to you. I got nothing else.
Speaker 4: Not so warm welcome. Denmark's prime minister had some not
Speaker 4: so welcoming words at information that Trump's administration is sending
Speaker 4: a delegation to Greenland this week. She says it's putting
Speaker 4: unacceptable pressure on Greenland. Trump of course has his site
Speaker 4: set on seizing Greenland and using it as reserves of
Speaker 4: critical minerals, and of course strategically it's a pretty strong
Speaker 4: location in the Arctic. The prime minister said that, or
Speaker 4: said that Greenlandic representatives were clear they do not want
Speaker 4: a visit now, and added, we don't even have a
Speaker 4: government because they just had elections. Oh yeah, but anyway,
Speaker 4: Usha Advance is leading the delegation that's head in there
Speaker 4: on Thursday.
Speaker 2: So what is she going to do? Is she going
Speaker 2: to plant the flag and claim it for America?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I Mike Wallas is going too, but yeah,
Speaker 4: I was kind of curious why she's going.
Speaker 3: We will check with the Atlantic and see if they
Speaker 3: got any text messages about what the plans are.
Speaker 4: Can you give us an update on the Greenland visit?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we may have. We may be sharing that information too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how this is. I don't know how
Speaker 3: this plays out, that we somehow end up with Greenland.
Speaker 3: This feels like a massive distraction. I understand the strategic
Speaker 3: value of it in the Arctic Circle. We have a
Speaker 3: very very small piece of the Arctic Circle in northern Alaska.
Speaker 3: That's the only claim to the area that we have.
Speaker 3: So with Trump talking about Canada and Greenland, it's like
Speaker 3: he's trying to take a great deal of that Arctic Circle.
Speaker 3: I just don't think either Greenland or Canada are suddenly
Speaker 3: going to say.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, we win the wave of this invitation. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just don't see it.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't know this.
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 4: We have a military base on Greenland. We used to
Speaker 4: have like more was it twenty or thirty We were
Speaker 4: talking to our White House correspondent on Decker there was
Speaker 4: like twenty or thirty bases on Greenland at some point.
Speaker 4: Now we don't have those, well, exactly, we've got the one.
Speaker 2: Well could we reopen those? Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that an issue? I just wonder what the endgame is.
Speaker 3: One thing about Trump is what we know how the
Speaker 3: deal works, right, and that is that you say I
Speaker 3: want this, I want so much, and if you don't
Speaker 3: give it to me, there's going to be hell to pay.
Speaker 3: And then they negotiate down to something else and they go, Okay,
Speaker 3: well you're obviously not going to get all of that,
Speaker 3: but we will let you reopen ten bases or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: Right, So, I mean, maybe that's the end goal. I
Speaker 2: don't have any idea. I just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the I don't know what the
Speaker 3: negotiating goal is when he talks about these things. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Greater Los Angeles a rental market facing increased competition. According
Speaker 3: to new research from rent Cafe, the wildfire is adding
Speaker 3: uncertainty to the rental market outlook. Don't know exactly how
Speaker 3: that's going to play out as well. The data shows
Speaker 3: both eastern and western Los Angeles County have become more
Speaker 3: challenging for renters compared to early twenty twenty four Eastern
Speaker 3: La County, which includes parts of La Long Beach, Pasadena, Pomona,
Speaker 3: and Downy, more than half the renters are renewing their leases.
Speaker 3: That's up from just shy of half a year ago.
Speaker 3: Rerant Cafe reporting that that suggests that renters are prioritizing stability.
Speaker 2: They're not moving around.
Speaker 3: In fact, they're hanging out of their place because they
Speaker 3: don't want to have to try to find someplace else.
Speaker 3: Apartment supply has gone up slightly from last year, which
Speaker 3: is good occupancy rate ninety six percent, So if you're
Speaker 3: looking for a place, your selections are not.
Speaker 2: Huge.
Speaker 3: Apartments vacant for an average of just about six weeks.
Speaker 3: They say competition is intense and they are only about
Speaker 3: there are about thirteen perspective renters available per unit. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 3: which means you are fighting with everybody else if you
Speaker 3: want to get in. And you wonder why rent is
Speaker 3: so high, it's because they can charge whatever they want.
Speaker 3: They've got thirteen people trying to get an abyate every rental.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and an extra what ten thousand people who need
Speaker 4: a place to stay thanks to the ryers.
Speaker 2: Right, So now what do you do?
Speaker 3: This is why so many people that have a place
Speaker 3: aren't They're not jumping ship, they're just signing renewals. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I really don't know. If you're looking for
Speaker 3: a place, I don't know what you do. What a
Speaker 3: tough situation to be in. And even if you can
Speaker 3: find a place, can you afford it? And if you are,
Speaker 3: if you're a homeowner. In fact, Anne and I were
Speaker 3: talking about this yesterday, it feels like if you're a
Speaker 3: homeowner in southern California, I mean anywhere in southern California here,
Speaker 3: Orange County, La County, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura. Always,
Speaker 3: if you are a homeowner, you are in one of
Speaker 3: two camps. You either have owned your home for a
Speaker 3: while and you are house rich, meaning you have a
Speaker 3: lot of equity. You might not have a whole lot
Speaker 3: in your bank account, but you have a lot of
Speaker 3: equity in your house. And so your house rich or
Speaker 3: your house poor, which means and you could potentially be both,
Speaker 3: because if your house poor means are you are dedicating
Speaker 3: a significant amount, far more than recommended of your salary
Speaker 3: your earnings to paying for your mortgage. And so if
Speaker 3: that's the case, it's possible you have a bunch of
Speaker 3: equity in your home and you're also paying a ton
Speaker 3: on your home. You may still be house poor, paying
Speaker 3: say forty to fifty percent of your salary to your mortgage,
Speaker 3: but have a bunch of equity in your home. The
Speaker 3: good news is if something were to change in your life,
Speaker 3: you could always sell your house and then take that
Speaker 3: equity and move someplace cheaper like Cheyenne, because who doesn't
Speaker 3: want to be in Cheyenne.
Speaker 2: It's a nice place to be.
Speaker 4: Is it sunny in eighty in Cheyenne in market right now?
Speaker 2: No? No, it is not.
Speaker 3: Nope, it's not. But you can afford it. So you
Speaker 3: just describe the sunshine tax I think, Amy King, would
Speaker 3: you accept diamonds that have been processed?
Speaker 4: Uh? I don't know. Here's what happened after and nearly
Speaker 4: a month, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of diamond
Speaker 4: ear rings have now been recovered from a man accused
Speaker 4: of stealing them. So Jason Gilder or Jaython Gilder, I'll
Speaker 4: get to that from Houston, Texas was arrested on February
Speaker 4: twenty sixth after allegedly robbing a Tiffany and Company store
Speaker 4: in Orlando. During his arrest, Gilder was seen swallowing a
Speaker 4: few items. Well, that was February twenty sixth, and on
Speaker 4: March tenth, detectives recovered three of the four Tiffany and
Speaker 4: Company diamond ear rings, and then the fourth ear ring
Speaker 4: was recovered on March twelfth.
Speaker 2: Oh, so they must have done surgery.
Speaker 4: Then Nope, they just waited for nature to take its course.
Speaker 4: And then they they took the ear rings and went
Speaker 4: back and cleaned them. And I don't know are they
Speaker 4: going to try to sell them. Maybe there's a discount.
Speaker 3: I would think there's got to be a discount on that.
Speaker 3: Do you suppose that he also swallowed the blue box?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Or just the earrings? The just the earringstulf.
Speaker 4: Athough you remember, you know, I mean if they're if
Speaker 4: they depends if they were clip ons or if they
Speaker 4: were pierced ear rings. You know, they have the studs.
Speaker 4: You think that could get caught up somewhere along.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh that'll that'll shred your your innards. You
Speaker 3: don't want to swallow those. It's like it's like trying
Speaker 3: to pass nails.
Speaker 4: Here's the more interesting part there were four freeze.
Speaker 2: What is more interesting than that.
Speaker 4: Four diamond ear rings? Yeah, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4: I just think that the value on those hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2: You make a really great point.
Speaker 4: I still don't think I want to them.
Speaker 3: I think you have to sell them at a discounted rate
Speaker 3: at this point, don't you buy? Do they go on
Speaker 3: a little clearance shelf at Tiffany's, Like when you walk
Speaker 3: in the store it says fifty percent off. I think
Speaker 3: I would buy those from my wife. I just wouldn't
Speaker 3: tell her. If somebody brought you a little blue box
Speaker 3: with Tiffany's diamond earrings in it that were all shiny
Speaker 3: when you open the box, it's not like you're gonna
Speaker 3: smell them, so you would go, oh my gosh, you
Speaker 3: got me Tiffany's. These They are beautiful. I love you
Speaker 3: so much, and you just you don't tell her. You
Speaker 3: don't share that they were.
Speaker 4: Processed, and it's not like you're going to ask, honey,
Speaker 4: these are beautiful, but did somebody swallow them and then
Speaker 4: they had to poop them out to run back?
Speaker 2: That's it doesn't come up in conversation.
Speaker 4: So I think you're safe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely all right right.
Speaker 3: In fact, my wife's engagement ring, which he still wears,
Speaker 3: was recovered during a kulidoscopy. So I got a good
Speaker 3: deal on that. I got that from poo Nile get it. No,
Speaker 3: getting a lot, no, no, un noted airlines flying from
Speaker 3: Los Angeles to China had to turn around.
Speaker 2: Whoops.
Speaker 3: One of the pilots took off, but he forgot something
Speaker 3: his passport that's frowned upon. So the flight took off
Speaker 3: from lax at two o'clock Saturday, two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: seven passengers on board, thirteen crew members getting ready to
Speaker 3: settle in for that long flight bound for Shanghai. Two
Speaker 3: hours later, the pilot says, cower.
Speaker 2: This year is flight one.
Speaker 3: They're gonna make a return to the runway. It seems
Speaker 3: I forgot my wallet. So they turned around headed back
Speaker 3: to San Francisco. They landed at five pm in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Evidently the pilot had their passport at San Francisco, so
Speaker 3: then they had to have a new crew take the
Speaker 3: customers to their destination later in the evening. So I
Speaker 3: guess the thirteen crew members that thought they were getting
Speaker 3: paid to go to Shanghai they got a quick flight
Speaker 3: and a quick turnaround. Surprise, you've been out a flight
Speaker 3: that's been diverted, and never have. I had to do
Speaker 3: some flying last week, and I was freaked out because
Speaker 3: the uh, there's been a rash of collisions or near
Speaker 3: collisions of late and to be honest, I was a
Speaker 3: little nervous. We were taking off and I kept staring
Speaker 3: out the window, going, I hope assessant doesn't pull in
Speaker 3: front of us, because that's what we've seen that happen
Speaker 3: here in the last You know, this year has been
Speaker 3: not a great year for flight safety.
Speaker 4: On the chopping block at TikTok is this so called
Speaker 4: chubby ai filter. So wait, you put a photo on
Speaker 4: there and then it slowly shows you getting chubbier while
Speaker 4: the song anxiety plays by DOCI. The videos sparking backlash
Speaker 4: with people are concerned about sending out body shaming messages
Speaker 4: like this. One guy said, yeah, imagine you're sitting there
Speaker 4: and you start seeing people getting fatter and then go, oh,
Speaker 4: now that looks like I already look. So they talked
Speaker 4: about body shaming. TikTok says it took the filter down,
Speaker 4: but some users say they can still find it. It
Speaker 4: just now has a disclaimer. Uh huh that says you
Speaker 4: are more than your weight.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Well, thank goodness, we're using the most technological advanced, the
Speaker 3: greatest technological advancement in the last thirty years for doing
Speaker 3: important work Like what would I look like if I
Speaker 3: were fifty pounds heavier?
Speaker 4: I would take that app and I would use a shrinker.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm wondering. But isn't that body shaming?
Speaker 3: Isn't that saying well, you're happy with you should be
Speaker 3: happy with how you look now you shouldn't be imagining.
Speaker 4: That's shaming you for not being happy about what you
Speaker 4: look like.
Speaker 3: Now, Oh my gosh, Can I just be happy? Is
Speaker 3: there a happy app? Can I have an AI filter
Speaker 3: that makes it? This is what it would look like
Speaker 3: if you didn't have other people telling you what you
Speaker 3: should think.
Speaker 2: Look, you're smiling, Thank god.
Speaker 3: This is why, once again, TikTok is ground zero for
Speaker 3: the declination of civil society. It all starts with TikTok.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you that thing needs to be.
Speaker 2: What happened to the band? I thought we were getting
Speaker 2: rid of TikTok, We're unbanning TikTok. That's what we need.
Speaker 2: We need to get rid of the we need to
Speaker 2: get rid of we need. That's it. That's all I got. Uh,
Speaker 2: what's happening here? Oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3: In the hours and the days after the fires sparked
Speaker 3: in January, people were smelling and breathing some of the smoke. Obviously,
Speaker 3: now come to find out you were breathing in some
Speaker 3: really gross stuff. Toxins in that smoke is I've been
Speaker 3: found in the blood of firefighters. Collecting blood samples from
Speaker 3: twenty northern California firefighters who came down California, Southern California
Speaker 3: excuse me, to help battle the Eaton and Palisades fires.
Speaker 3: Blood samples collected, and what do they find in the
Speaker 3: blood samples?
Speaker 2: Lood five times.
Speaker 3: Greater than normal, mercury levels three times greater than normal.
Speaker 3: So you're basically breathing in toxic metals.
Speaker 2: So that's fun.
Speaker 3: How long do you think we're going to continue to
Speaker 3: have reports coming out after these fires, you know, discovering
Speaker 3: more and more of the horrible.
Speaker 2: Stuff that was going on. I think you're exactly right.
Speaker 3: Just like after other major tragedy, we find out about
Speaker 3: burn pits in the middle East. We're still hearing about
Speaker 3: some of the firefighter from nine to eleven are still
Speaker 3: dealing with some of the crap that they were breathing in.
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear about this for potentially decades. But it
Speaker 3: also makes me wonder as we rebuild, are we going
Speaker 3: to be rebuilding with materials that don't have so many
Speaker 3: toxins in them? Because I'm a bit concerned that, you know,
Speaker 3: things burn and all of a sudden we've got mercury
Speaker 3: going into the air.
Speaker 2: Well, that had to come from somewhere.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like people just had a whole lot of
Speaker 3: tune efficient salmon in their cupboards that cooked into the air.
Speaker 3: There's got to be some reason that mercury is into
Speaker 3: the air and that lead levels are going up. So
Speaker 3: as we rebuild, maybe we can think ahead and not
Speaker 3: use toxic stuff, all right?
Speaker 2: Speaking of the chubby AI.
Speaker 4: Yeah, whoever painted this portrait may have used the chubby
Speaker 4: app to use as a guide or something. President Trump
Speaker 4: has his presidential portrait hung at the Colorado State Capitol,
Speaker 4: but he doesn't want it there. He actually asked them
Speaker 4: to take it down. Republicans raised more than ten thousand
Speaker 4: dollars to commission the oil painting. It was unveiled in
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, but now the Senate Minority leader said that
Speaker 4: he requested the Trump portrait be taken down and replaced
Speaker 4: by one that depicts his contemporary likeness. If you look
Speaker 4: at the picture which I saw last night, he does
Speaker 4: appear very chubby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: One of the things I think with President Trump is
Speaker 3: that he always tries to portray himself as being more
Speaker 3: ideal than his actual physical physical memory uh measurements, And
Speaker 3: so he'll put out things like, oh, President Trump is
Speaker 3: six' five and one hundred and eighty pounds and he's
Speaker 3: just not. Right AND i think he says now he's
Speaker 3: like two thirty and sixty three or something like. That, Look,
Speaker 3: Amy i'm six three and a, half AND i hate
Speaker 3: when people tell Me i'm. Not i'm six three and
Speaker 3: a half And i've lost. Weight i'm down to two
Speaker 3: forty five. Now and there is no way in hell
Speaker 3: That trump is thinner than.
Speaker 2: Me And I'm i'm a little. Thick he is a lot.
Speaker 2: Thick BUT i will give him.
Speaker 3: Credit that photograph or that that portrait In colorado made
Speaker 3: him look like he had these, big Weird, uh like
Speaker 3: nuke gingrich. Jowls they were just thick underneath here he.
Speaker 3: Was he was a chunkey monkey on that.
Speaker 4: One he did say on Truth social that he would
Speaker 4: prefer no picture rather than that, picture and then said
Speaker 4: that his picture was up Near President. Obamas, yeah and
Speaker 4: he said that picture painted by the same. Person, yeah

Speaker 2: your breaking news. Story tump Pays obama.

Speaker 3: man this corporate speak is, tough whether by streamlining, operations
Speaker 3: reducing duplicative reporting and, analysis or finding areas to accelerate
Speaker 3: decision velocity or identifying cost savings. Measures that is a
Speaker 3: word salad rather than prescribing specific changes at this, point
Speaker 3: our initial submission outlined areas we will explore to find
Speaker 3: the best approach for our agency's. Future in other, words
