Speaker 1: House doesn't even bother because you're already not going. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's so everybody who's listening.
Speaker 2: What I spent hours, not an hour, not two hours,
Speaker 2: hours listening to them. We had over to well over
Speaker 2: two hundred entries. Wow, on average, we're twenty five seconds long.
Speaker 2: And I had to go and sort through them and
Speaker 2: all of that. We whittled it down to about forty
Speaker 2: finalists and sent me some numbers so that it would
Speaker 2: be at random. They will be chosen today and we'll
Speaker 2: be contacted and we will.
Speaker 1: At eight point fifty we will play them. We'll play
Speaker 1: the winners. And so that's because it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: We put this together, and then we have other stuff
Speaker 1: planned for the Anheim White House.
Speaker 2: In your pocket, I do?
Speaker 1: I do? We have not just a mouse. We are
Speaker 1: we're putting together some other stuff at the Anaheim White
Speaker 1: House this summer, Neil and I and the whole crew.
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of stuff going on. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a busy summer for all of us. All Right,
Speaker 1: you guys to do it on a Thursday morning, and
Speaker 1: we start with handle on the news, Amy, Neil and
Speaker 1: me lead story. Don't come on. He and the President
Speaker 1: announced and I have to agree with him on this
Speaker 1: one sweeping new travel proclamation limitation to people who can
Speaker 1: travel the United States restricting either banning people or restricting
Speaker 1: them from nearly twenty countries. The ones that are banned
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Samalia, Sudan,
Speaker 1: and Yemen. Interesting factoid about Equatorial Guinea. It is the
Speaker 1: only country in the world where the indigenous people still
Speaker 1: practice cannibalism. I don't know if you knew that they
Speaker 1: actually have cannibals there, and since it was originally colonized
Speaker 1: by the Italian Guinea, their national dish happens to be
Speaker 1: Spaghettian PiZZ balls. I don't know if you knew that. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll do more on this story coming up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: By the way, I think the New Guinea head hunter
Speaker 1: part is still true. The Spaghetian PiZZ balls, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, Lega Sam and we can move on. There's
Speaker 1: a lot we can do with that, can we well?
Speaker 3: I can looks like this guy was up to no good.
Speaker 3: The FBI's arrested a guy linked to last month's car
Speaker 3: bombing at that fertility clinic in Palm Springs. So apparently
Speaker 3: this guy, Daniel Park, was in Poland. He got picked up,
Speaker 3: extradited to the US, and was arrested at JFK on
Speaker 3: Tuesday night. They say that he and the guy who
Speaker 3: bombed the clinic in Palm Springs who was killed, we're
Speaker 3: working together. And he's going to face charges of having
Speaker 3: like more than two hundred pounds of ammonium nitrate, which
Speaker 3: is used to make bombs and fertilizer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he shod It was like day Murrow Building in Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: exactly the same bomb and the one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: pounds of this stuff. First of all, had to get
Speaker 1: it to him, you know, it's a lot to ship. Also,
Speaker 1: this guy's Korean. If he took out and he's in Poland,
Speaker 1: explain that one to me. And they picked him up
Speaker 1: in Poland and extradited him. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: parts of this story that are kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: Nobody thinks it's weird they used fertilizer at a fertility clinic.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think about that at all.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm here to really.
Speaker 1: I know that's very very deep. There's analysis for you.
Speaker 2: Yes, analo I put the ass in analysis.
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 2: Okay, judge blocks deportation of the Boulder attackers family. If
Speaker 2: you remember this is something that know them came out
Speaker 2: and said that they're looking into the family if they
Speaker 2: knew anything about the attack, they had knowledge of it,
Speaker 2: and aything like that. Well, federal judge yesterday ordered the
Speaker 2: government to immediately halt deportation proceedings against the wife. He
Speaker 2: also has five children of the man that was charging
Speaker 2: that horrific fire bombing attack in Boulder, Colorado. So the
Speaker 2: judge is like, listen, you can't just work without due
Speaker 2: process and all of these things, and we need to
Speaker 2: slow down. You can't penalize people that haven't that weren't
Speaker 2: a part of the crime.
Speaker 1: But they do anyway. I mean, think about this. If
Speaker 1: someone is here illegally overrun their visa, they are allowed
Speaker 1: the government's allowed to pick them up and deport them
Speaker 1: now due process. I don't understand. Maybe it's out there.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what that means. Do you have a
Speaker 1: right to go into court and fight the deportation and
Speaker 1: saying somehow the government is wrong that there is a
Speaker 1: legal right to stay here. I don't think. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what defense they have overran a visa,
Speaker 1: not granted asylum here illegally, because once you overrun a visa,
Speaker 1: you're done.
Speaker 2: Isn't due process part of figuring all those things out.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if everybody's entitled to that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if everybody who is picked up and especially
Speaker 1: put under the expedited the expedited deportation is entitled to
Speaker 1: go to court, because they happens all the time, where
Speaker 1: people come in the United States and they just turn
Speaker 1: them right around and move it. But maybe I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to think of the different ways of what just happening.
Speaker 1: And it could be that they accept deportation with the
Speaker 1: voluntary deportation with the possibility of coming back legally, which
Speaker 1: of course is impossible to do. You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have to find out whether there is a legitimate
Speaker 1: due process argument here when you're picked up in deporter
Speaker 1: under these circumstances. Anyway, the judge said that they are
Speaker 1: innocent victims, that it was the father who did all
Speaker 1: and even he said that my family had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. Solomon said it was just me.
Speaker 2: But you're saying they could still be deported if they will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, Yeah, I think so. And the
Speaker 1: judge said no, So I don't know how. I don't
Speaker 1: know enough about this. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, the judge said, there has to be due right, we'll.
Speaker 1: See, right, we'll see what happens on the appeal coming
Speaker 1: right up. All right, let's take a break. Boy, did
Speaker 1: I understand that one? Didn't? I what a job I
Speaker 1: did explaining that Neil.
Speaker 2: Oh I actually got dumber in the last five minutes.
Speaker 1: You certainly did. Hey, I want to share with you.
Speaker 1: I got one of these texts. I love texts like this,

Speaker 1: for it all. Right, back we go more Handle on
Speaker 1: the news with Amy Neil and me Abe.
Speaker 3: It's me not fit for human consumption. That's the warning
Speaker 3: label that's going to go on certain foods In Texas.
Speaker 3: The Texas legislature unanimously passed this bill to change food
Speaker 3: and drink packaging as we know it. It passed, and
Speaker 3: it will put warning labels on snack foods and drinks
Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff that have certain dyes in
Speaker 3: them or ingredients, and it could spread nationwide, but right
Speaker 3: now it's just passed in Texas and is expected to
Speaker 3: appear on packaging by later this summer, probably early September.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't think Texas would be at the forefront
Speaker 1: of this, would you. This sounds like California. Yet it Texas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised by that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also the warning to put back to if
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, they also warn you that you're going
Speaker 1: to be in a lot of trouble right there on
Speaker 1: the food packaging. It got you.
Speaker 2: We should put a warning label on the show.
Speaker 3: We do not recommended for human cusumption.
Speaker 2: Consumption. Well, this was a horrible story and I couldn't
Speaker 2: figure it out what had happened. In the earlier reports,
Speaker 2: a fifteen year old teen died after being injured in
Speaker 2: a car crash at a private K through twelve school
Speaker 2: and studio city yesterday. So it happened just after three pm.
Speaker 2: There's a car pool line at the Campbell Hall School
Speaker 2: parking lot there on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, and it seems
Speaker 2: to me that from what I've read, is that the
Speaker 2: kid was walking in between two cars and maybe one
Speaker 2: of the cars was hit from behind crushed him in
Speaker 2: between the two cars. There wasn't much information yesterday when
Speaker 2: it originally happened. There was a video of the I
Speaker 2: think it was a sky seven or something going over
Speaker 2: and you could see it. Yeah, it off what a
Speaker 2: horrific circumstance like crazy. This is in the car place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the carpool pickup line.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The uh. There's an elementary school down there where I lived,
Speaker 1: the Persian Palace, and they did the same thing. My
Speaker 1: kids didn't go there, but I passed it every day
Speaker 1: coming home. And there was a little girl, a three
Speaker 1: year old or a kindergarten that was the guy was
Speaker 1: backing up and ran over her and killed her. And
Speaker 1: it was, oh, it was tough.
Speaker 2: It was tough in this case. You've got someone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just a horrible accident, is what it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, someone didn't pay attention and the rear ender
Speaker 1: happened and someone died as a result of it.
Speaker 2: That seems to be because.
Speaker 1: Kids go through, they go through the other side. It
Speaker 1: happens all the time where they go between cars.
Speaker 2: It's very very.
Speaker 3: Sad, and probably the saddest is his dad was there.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, the same thing happened with a little girl.
Speaker 1: When the suv is big suv backed up, the little
Speaker 1: girl was right there. All right, let's do a couple more.
Speaker 3: All right, looks like Russia will respond, President Trump says.
Speaker 3: Russian President Vladimir Putin has told him very strongly in
Speaker 3: a phone call that Russia is going to respond to
Speaker 3: Ukraine's weekend sneak drone attack that hit Russian airfields. Trump
Speaker 3: said in a social media post that his long call
Speaker 3: apparently lasted over an hour or around an hour with
Speaker 3: Putin was a good conversation, but Trump said, not a
Speaker 3: conversation that will lead to immediate peace. So the war
Speaker 3: rages on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Putin told Trump the Ingo Pound Sand I'm not
Speaker 1: interested in a peace talk. I'm going to retaliate for
Speaker 1: this one. And the President has a couple of a
Speaker 1: couple of just now walking away, which I think is
Speaker 1: going to happen because the peace talks aren't going well.
Speaker 1: And he said I'm going to end the war one day. No,
Speaker 1: because in this situation, Trump doesn't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: of influence. And then the only other issue is does
Speaker 1: the US keep backing up Ukraine? That I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think if the President walks away, I think we
Speaker 1: the country, the United States, walks away from helping Ukraine
Speaker 1: and giving the arms.
Speaker 3: It's all about arms, except is the US going to
Speaker 3: walk away now that they have signed that deal for
Speaker 3: the rare earths and stuff?
Speaker 1: You know what it's the rare earth. Did not connect
Speaker 1: military aid to the rare earths. It did not say
Speaker 1: if we do this deal, then we will back you up.
Speaker 1: I don't think the two were connected. And there's a
Speaker 1: big move. We're talking about cutting expenses. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Fifty billion dollars a year or eighty billion
Speaker 1: dollars zero goes to Ukraine for military aid. It's complicated stuff.
Speaker 2: United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for
Speaker 2: an immediate and constitutional and permanent ceasefire. This is between
Speaker 2: Israel and the militant group Hamas. Why don't think it's
Speaker 2: call him terrorist group, militant militant terrorist group Hamas and Gaza.
Speaker 2: So the US was the only nation to oppose this resolution.
Speaker 2: Fourteen others, including the United Kingdom, voted in favor. There
Speaker 2: were no abstentions, but the US opposed the resolution because
Speaker 2: it did not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza.
Speaker 1: Yep. And there are five members on the Security Council
Speaker 1: that have veto power. This was happened after the UN
Speaker 1: was created. Russia, China, France, England, and the United States,
Speaker 1: anyone of which can veto anything. The Security Council does.
Speaker 1: And this was the United States backing Israel's position saying
Speaker 1: there will be no ceasefire until Hamas is gone. And
Speaker 1: there what the world is saying, it is so horrific.
Speaker 1: What's going on in Gaza is we need an immediate ceasefire,
Speaker 1: notwithstanding anything else. So the US is basically I always
Speaker 1: going to back Israel and these UN resolutions are going Nowhere.
Speaker 3: Did the Dodgers discriminate? Okay, remember we told you about
Speaker 3: the guy who was sitting at Dodgers Stadium. He's a
Speaker 3: Yankees fan and a chunk of concrete fell from the
Speaker 3: upper deck and hit him. So Luis Ricardo Aquino lives
Speaker 3: in Mexico City. He says that he was discriminated against
Speaker 3: or felt discriminated against. He said when they came over
Speaker 3: to check him out after he got hit with the
Speaker 3: softball sized piece of conquer, he said, the first question
Speaker 3: police asked was if he had papers. He said, yes,
Speaker 3: I'm on my visa. He said he had to give
Speaker 3: them the visa. They took it from him. He said,
Speaker 3: he's angry because he feels discriminated against.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is police. Are we talking about lapd Well?
Speaker 3: They don't have LAPD at Dodger game.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not arguing that. No, I get that. But
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about is LAPD, the most sanctuary of
Speaker 1: all sanctuary police departments in the country, probably would not
Speaker 1: ask someone let me see your papers. If they come
Speaker 1: and someone's been injured by concrete.
Speaker 3: I wonder if they just asked for his ID.
Speaker 1: That may be the case. I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't give it a different connotation.
Speaker 1: It does, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it had anything to do with the
Speaker 2: fact he was from Mexico City.
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. First of all, yeah, the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: what half half the Dodger fans are Hispanic? Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: they're all you know there. The Dodgers are huge in
Speaker 1: the Hispanic community.
Speaker 2: Yeah, strange when you think of its history. But you know,
Speaker 2: the Harry's, the Dodgers and Cheves Ravine and anyhow.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 3: I want to add though, that he he did agree
Speaker 3: not to file a complaint after the concrete hit him
Speaker 3: in exchange for Dodger gear. So he got a jersey,
Speaker 3: some bracelets and a Max Munsey bubble.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow. And now he's not very bright either, because
Speaker 1: that's what a lawsuit. That is a piece of concrete
Speaker 1: fell on my head. Let me tell you, if it
Speaker 1: happened to me, I'd be going on and getting MRIs
Speaker 1: and showing how big that tumor was besides of a
Speaker 1: baseball in my head.
Speaker 2: I think an attorney got to him between it happening
Speaker 2: and this.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: No, you know, one of your slimy friends, yes, walked
Speaker 2: up to him and said, ok you what I resent?
Speaker 1: I resent that statement.
Speaker 2: You resemble that because I don't have any attorney friends. Okay,
Speaker 2: now many friends. Okay, I'm just arguing, we're all going
Speaker 2: to see you on Saturday because there's a free meal
Speaker 2: from Yeah, that's true, all right, Now one million, so
Speaker 2: that this man, these numbers are staggering. Russia is knocking
Speaker 2: on the door of one million Russian soldiers that have
Speaker 2: been killed or injured in this full scale invasion brought
Speaker 2: on obviously by Russia. But and we don't know confirmation
Speaker 2: on both these numbers, but Ukraine has sustained less than
Speaker 2: half that, although still massive numbers at about four hundred
Speaker 2: thousand casualties.
Speaker 1: But just it continues and it's not slowing down, It
Speaker 1: is not slowing down. I mean a million people. Now,
Speaker 1: Russia can get away with that because Russia has hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of people is population. Ukraine is very different.
Speaker 1: Ukraine is being decimated by this. Russia is also being decimated,
Speaker 1: but they don't care. Zelenski actually cares about Ukrainian nationals
Speaker 1: and citizens. I don't think Putin cares give us a
Speaker 1: rats about how many Russians die.
Speaker 2: No, it's a game of chess for him at best.
Speaker 3: Killed by a brain eating amiba. You heard Bill just
Speaker 3: mentioned he's going to talk to Jim Kiney about it.
Speaker 3: But a woman in Texas has died after she got
Speaker 3: the rare brain EATINGI amiba infection. Guess how she got it.
Speaker 3: She had used one of those sinus clearing devices you
Speaker 3: thought or something m It doesn't say specifically which one
Speaker 3: it was, but one of those devices, and apparently the
Speaker 3: amiba was in the tap water.
Speaker 1: WHOA, Okay, there's my commercial right now for a life source.
Speaker 1: You buy a life source house water filtration system and
Speaker 1: you will not get a brain eating anima amba. If
Speaker 1: you use life source water to clear out your nostrils.
Speaker 2: You're joking, but that's the first thing I thought about
Speaker 2: Like when I heard that, I said, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: you keep saying tap water is safe, maybe not well to.
Speaker 1: Drink, maybe not to flesh out your nostrils. By the way,
Speaker 1: how disgusting is is it when you're there at the
Speaker 1: kitchen sink and you're nostrilling out the water. Oh?
Speaker 2: Man, Well, you know what's fascinating to me. They always
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, those cleanses are coming back. You know,
Speaker 2: people talk about those cleanses, And I'm like, your body
Speaker 2: has filters in it naturally and has ways of clearing
Speaker 2: itself out naturally. It's pretty amazing when you think about
Speaker 2: what the body.
Speaker 1: Is, not with this puppy, not with this amiba. Man,
Speaker 1: this goes right to the brain. We'll talk to Jim
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: Worry about I'm assuming. Yeah, strange story out of a
Speaker 2: very beautiful place, a gem here in southern California, Ternea Resort.
Speaker 2: Former marketing executive at the tarrann Aa Resort sued the
Speaker 2: luxury location on Wednesday, alleging its president had made discriminatory
Speaker 2: comments towards pregnant women working in the company. This executive,
Speaker 2: former marketing executive Chad Bustos, alleges in the lawsuit that
Speaker 2: he was fired in retaliation after he defended several female employees.
Speaker 2: The resort's president, Ralph Rippo g r I Ppopp, became
Speaker 2: visibly angry, apparently based on this report in February twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, after hearing women on the team plan to
Speaker 2: take maternity leave and the one came after the other
Speaker 2: and came after the other, And.
Speaker 1: Hey, s Terry, and I is that a Trump property?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I thought it was. Which was the one that was
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Palisades Trump? The Trump property. Wasn't there
Speaker 1: a resort that was.
Speaker 2: Bought by tro He had a golf course or something
Speaker 2: out there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I thought it was the Tyrannaa resort. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: You know, his security team invited me when you met him.
Speaker 2: I was with you when you met Trump, and his
Speaker 2: security team thought I was your security team, and he
Speaker 2: gave me his card, invited me out to play some golf.
Speaker 3: Ow he owns the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palace, Urties.
Speaker 2: Ah, okay, little up the coast, but yeah, strange story
Speaker 2: coming out there. It is, you know, for aside from
Speaker 2: the story, it's a gorgeous property, A lot of great food.
Speaker 3: Up on the rooftop tax breaks paused. California Public Utilities
Speaker 3: Commission has been accused of failing to abide by state
Speaker 3: law when it slashed financial incentives for residential rooftop solar panels.
Speaker 3: Environmental groups are arguing before the California Supreme Courts try
Speaker 3: to get those rooftop solar incentives restored. The commission policy
Speaker 3: took effect in April of twenty twenty three, cutting the
Speaker 3: value of credits that you can get for sending for
Speaker 3: using the solar power. They cut your power from the
Speaker 3: electric grid by as much as eighty percent.
Speaker 1: Well, well, there's two kinds of incentives. One is the
Speaker 1: tax incentive. Well, I still think it's around. You get
Speaker 1: a thirty percent tax credit. And this also had to
Speaker 1: be with selling your electricity or excess electricity back to
Speaker 1: the grid because generally you make more electricity or you
Speaker 1: create more generate more during the day than you use,
Speaker 1: and so you'd sell it back. Well, it used to
Speaker 1: be at almost full retail or full retail. Then they
Speaker 1: cut it to where it's almost nothing now.
Speaker 3: Oh, so the credits that you get for selling the
Speaker 3: power back are lower.
Speaker 1: They've almost completely that they've eliminated them for the most part.
Speaker 2: That's why you need Walt the backup batteries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's not just a backup batteries because that
Speaker 1: means you don't have to use it. You have to
Speaker 1: be on the grid at night. You don't have to
Speaker 1: be on the grid at night. But also the amount
Speaker 1: of money tric that you generate during the day now
Speaker 1: goes back to the grid because that's the way it works.
Speaker 1: And just don't get paid for it where he used
Speaker 1: to get paid. I mean, it was a better deal
Speaker 1: before three tiers of incentives that were gone. So it's
Speaker 1: use at all.
Speaker 2: I'll just put every light on none there you go
Speaker 2: back to the electrical company. Bastards all right. US Department
Speaker 2: of Transportation says it plans to revoke four billion in
Speaker 2: federal funding for the California High Speed We're still calling
Speaker 2: that it's the slowest speed high speed rail project ever,
Speaker 2: deciding that there's no visible path forward for it. I
Speaker 2: don't know why we got the right and the right,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Has any rail been built yet? Can you actually go
Speaker 1: on it? Amy? Can you take the high speed rail
Speaker 1: any place from any place?
Speaker 3: You cannot? You cannot Less than one hundred miles of
Speaker 3: guideway and structures have been built so far, but no rails.
Speaker 3: You can't go anywhere on it.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great. Let me tell you. The fees
Speaker 1: are absolutely right. The Department of Transportation is right. They
Speaker 1: at some point you just shut it down. At some
Speaker 1: point you just say this is not going to work.
Speaker 2: It's a money pit. It just it is, and nobody's
Speaker 2: watching it. In the minute you bring it up, people
Speaker 2: freak out for some reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna cost over one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Oh well, right now. Estimates range from eighty
Speaker 1: nine billion to one hundred and twenty eight billion dollars
Speaker 1: to cost. Originally it was thirty three billion dollars, so
Speaker 1: now it's only gonna go three hundred dollars percent over
Speaker 1: a budget. Sounds like my remodel at home, which is
Speaker 1: just about there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so dog bites aren't going to be an
Speaker 3: issue anymore. Amazon is developing software that will probably eventually
Speaker 3: take the job of delivery workers. They're going to have
Speaker 3: human robots dropping off your Amazon packages. They're building a
Speaker 3: humanoid park up in San Francisco at their offices. Uh,
Speaker 3: and they're going to start testing out the robots and
Speaker 3: then apparently like a probably a driverless car is going
Speaker 3: to pull up and the robot is going to jump
Speaker 3: out and go deliver your package.
Speaker 1: Now I can see the driverless car. Okay, that one,
Speaker 1: we're there. Okay. Now it's a question of safety. It's
Speaker 1: a question of uh, you know, just that actually the
Speaker 1: public perception of driverless cars. This robot business, that one's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Getting a robot too. What figuring out
Speaker 1: stairs going around corners? Uh, you know how Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how that works.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the newest tech in robots. They're they're
Speaker 2: training them to dance and crap. And I was just
Speaker 2: blown away at their balance. I see in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I see three different company panes that send food and
Speaker 2: packages via you know, they look like no, they're they're
Speaker 2: they're robots. They're on their own wheels. They don't come
Speaker 2: out of a vehicle. They are their own vehicle. And
Speaker 2: they go and they pull up in front of the house.
Speaker 2: They have a flag, a big long flag like you
Speaker 2: used to do on your bike, back back of your bicycle, and.
Speaker 1: They sit I'd love to see it. Would you video it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Would you video it? Because I'd love to figure this out.
Speaker 1: I mean dancing robots, it's like break dancing. Are these
Speaker 1: robuts that break when they start dancing?
Speaker 2: No, I will show you that. The stuff coming out
Speaker 2: of Tesla. It's Tesla or Amazon.
Speaker 1: I think they both have them, Okay, because they probably do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember the big stain back in twenty eighteen
Speaker 2: on Wells Fargo Bank as they had, you know, employees
Speaker 2: making fake accounts. While the Federal Reserves said has removed
Speaker 2: restrictions it placed on Wells Fargo and they sought to
Speaker 2: move past that series of scandals and all that stuff
Speaker 2: that happened within the last decade, and they say the
Speaker 2: bank is no longer subject to the asset restriction that
Speaker 2: was placed on them in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost those a whole lot of reputation. It
Speaker 1: cost them a fortune on top of that. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was not a good move, all right, guys, dollars millillions,
Speaker 1: billions and billion and the reputation being completely sullied. And
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that it just has happened that they removed
Speaker 1: the restrictions. I mean, this is when did this come down?
Speaker 1: A decade ago when they were manufacturing those accounts for
Speaker 1: people had no idea. You'd signed up with Wells Fargo
Speaker 1: for an account, and all of a sudden you'd walk
Speaker 1: out the door and you'd be in. You'd have been
Speaker 1: signed up for twenty accounts that you had absolutely no
