Uh, facials for example, the movement of 26 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.359 the eyes, eyebrows, lips, nose, and cheeks. That lista you 27 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.599 know that the look of complete utter disgust, disdain that 28 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.200 comes on your face whenever I say hello, That is 29 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.760 your beautiful countenance. 30 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.239 I swear it's like flying Boeing.

Yes, sure, yep. 36 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.439 And here is my cup that I get, the big one. Oh, 37 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.919 this is my BMW cup. Surly. BMW gave me this 38 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.719 when I bought the car. So all you have to 39 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.840 do is spend four hundred thousand dollars on a car 40 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.520 and they'll give you an insulated mug. By the way. 41 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.879 I didn't, but I did get my mug. So I'm digressing, 42 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.479 aren't I? How unusual? Cono, good morning? 43 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:30.199 Yes, good morning Bill. 44 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.639 I know, mister focus is my middle name. You're gonna 45 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:45.159 be busy today, Cono and good morning, good morning Bill. Yeah, 46 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:54.560 there we go, all right. My my countenance, no, although 47 00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:02.039 in Ann's case, it's and countenance that almost worked, didn't it. No? 48 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.800 It didn't. Countenance. No, I'm trying to get there and 49 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.879 it's not working. Oh, by the way, I misspoke. Yesterday 50 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.520 Michelle Q pointed this out. I am leaving on vacation, 51 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.879 but not next week. It's the end of next week. 52 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.400 I leave on Friday afternoon of next week. So if 53 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.479 the impression was that I Am not going to be 54 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.120 here next week, I will be here next week and 55 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.280 then I'm off and running and I'll be back a 56 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:36.800 couple of weeks before the election. So yeah, I'm very 57 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:41.240 excited about the election. It's getting really good, and it's 58 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.000 just it's astounding. It's just so great. Today we have 59 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.879 some stats about what's going on with the election. Kamala 60 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.400 Harris is doing better. I have not yet heard about 61 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.680 the election is rigged yet, not yet. Maybe I won't too, 62 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.680 because actually Donald Trump is taking a more measured tone, 63 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.840 I think in terms of the rigging part, in terms 64 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.919 of the cheating part, we'll see what happens. And for 65 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.400 the first time actually mentioned that if he loses, he 66 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.600 will not run again in twenty twenty eight. So that 67 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.639 was the first time that came out, and it presupposes 68 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.639 that he might lose. Where prior before there were only 69 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.879 two choices, either he wins or it's a rigged election. 70 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.720 And I did not hear that, so maybe it is moderating, 71 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.079 which I certainly hope to hope so. And also the 72 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.120 thread against democracy being pushed very very hard on the 73 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.199 Trump by the Democrats. I'm hoping that we just go 74 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.120 to more of the issues. There are plenty of issues 75 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.480 out there, I mean, insane issues in terms of taxes 76 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.079 and in terms of which way the country is going 77 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.879 to go, social issues, reproduct there are reductive rights, NATO allies. 78 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.480 I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on, tariffs 79 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.040 that are coming in. All right, that's enough of that. 80 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.600 Why don't we do it? Guys, It's time for handle 81 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.759 on the news on a taco Tuesday, September twenty fourth, 82 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:23.199 Amy Neil and Me lead story. Well, California has filed 83 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.959 the lawsuit against Exxon Mobile alleging that it's gasoline is 84 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.360 utter crap. No, that's not the lawsuit. It is suing 85 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.439 because of Exxon mobiles promise that the plastics it produced 86 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.360 would be recycled, and Attorney General Rob Bonte said, oh no, no, 87 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.800 less than five percent of the plastic is recycled into 88 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.439 another plastic product in the US, even though the items 89 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.040 are labeled recyclable turns out they're not turns out not 90 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.800 that they're not being recycled is one allegation. I've already 91 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.040 said that you throw all your crap in the recycle 92 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.920 bind of tiny proportion is actually used for recycling. What 93 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.800 the Attorney General said is that only five percent of 94 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:18.279 the products that Mobile says can be recycled are able 95 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.439 to be recycled. And so this is one of those big, 96 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:32.639 big corporate lawsuits. Exon Mobile blame California's recycling system. For decades, 97 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.240 California officials have known their recycling system isn't defective, they 98 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.360 fail to act. Now they seek to blame others. Well, 99 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.600 here's the problem. They sort of are missing the boat 100 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.800 because Exon is saying it's your fault that things are 101 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:51.279 not being recycled. California said, your stuff can not be 102 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.160 recycled even if we wanted to or try to see 103 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.879 there's sort of its apples and oranges and what Exon 104 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.959 Mobile is deflecting. If this is true, which of course 105 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.920 I believe it's true. They're in a world it hurt 106 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.839 or they're going to have to label correctly saying don't 107 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.680 bother with your recycle bin bill because it's a waste 108 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.920 of time. Why pay extra money to get the trash 109 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.199 an extra trash barrel. 110 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.120 Was the deadliest day in almost two decades. Israel launched 111 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:27.800 a barrage of air strikes across Lebanon in what was 112 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.800 the deadliest day since the war with Hesbela in two 113 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.800 thousand and six. Israeli bombs killed more than five hundred 114 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.639 people and wounded more than eighteen hundred others. Israeli Prime 115 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:46.000 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it hit sixteen hundred Hesbela assets 116 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.519 across Lebanon yesterday and has not ruled out the possibility 117 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.279 of going in on the ground. 118 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.759 Yeah. Here's another one where you have a group in 119 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.800 this case hasblah after October seventh, the next day starts 120 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:05.480 launching missiles against Israel in solidarity of what's happening in Gaza. 121 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.439 And now Israel goes, okay, we're going at it. And 122 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.040 let's say Israel goes in i did in two thousand 123 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.439 and six and decimate southern Lebanon. Maybe we handle that wrong. 124 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.519 Maybe we should have stayed the hell out of that war. 125 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.000 We weren't being attacked by Israel. They were leaving us alone. 126 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.000 The border was being enforced. Why would we do this, Oh, 127 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:32.720 I don't know, to kill a few thousand Lebanese. It's 128 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.720 a man. I just don't get it. And we're and 129 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.120 Israel's just they're done. Israel's none of this were proportional 130 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.759 response or any of that. They're just taking everybody out 131 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.039 that attacks Israel. 132 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:42.480 That's it. 133 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.120 We're taking them out. So it's going to be it's 134 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.039 gonna be very, very tough. We'll see if full scale 135 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:51.120 war breaks out. And again, as I said, we've ever 136 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.200 seen Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is right there front 137 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.559 and center because they both have different ways of dealing 138 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.039 with this. So that's part of the presidential Everything is 139 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.480 part of the presidential that we're going to talk about. 140 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.440 More troops to the Middle East. 141 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.679 The Defense Department plans to send a few dozen of 142 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.000 US troops to the Middle East in coming days. It 143 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:18.720 is said to be ready to help Americans flee the 144 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.840 region that is bracing for significant escalation simmering conflict obviously 145 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.679 between Israel and the Iranian backed militant group has the 146 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.759 law there in Lebanon. This would be in addition to 147 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.399 the forty thousand troops that are already in that region. 148 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.679 Yeah, it's the forty I can understand a few dozen 149 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.360 or one hundred troops to help evacuate Americans, that's a 150 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.480 given in a war zone. It's the forty thousand troops 151 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.279 that are already there in the region, both in terms 152 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.799 of on aircraft carrier with the task groups and on 153 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.799 the ground. What do they do? I mean, we're showing 154 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.360 a strength to force. Is what is American? What are 155 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.559 the Americans do? What they fly off aircraft carriers and 156 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:04.159 start I'm being targets in Lebanon? Is that what the 157 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.320 US does? Of course not. So I've always wondered about 158 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.679 where it's a show of strength. All right, Hey we're strong, 159 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.759 Yes you are strong, boy. Look at that aircraft carrier. 160 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.559 Isn't that neat? Now what do you do with it? 161 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.200 That's all it's it's you'll never see American boots on 162 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.120 the ground. I mean, that will never happen. It's that. Well, 163 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.519 you see arms being set to Israel. I'll tell you 164 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.320 what it's all about. The only way America is going 165 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:36.320 to influence Israel. And it's getting more and more the 166 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.519 world's getting more and more adamant about the United States 167 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.200 doing something and not that Israel cares is simply to 168 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.679 stop the arms. That's it. Stop the weapons going in. 169 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.320 Israel shuts down in three days. It's war effort. It 170 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:53.799 cannot survive that war without American aid. Okay, let's move on. 171 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.840 Boeing has put up what it calls its last best offer. 172 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:04.679 Thirty machinists are striking in the Northwest, but this new 173 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.480 offer would give them a thirty percent pay raise over 174 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.960 four years, including a twelve percent pay raise right out 175 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.559 of the gate. The new offer also doubles a signing 176 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.639 bonus to six thousand dollars and increases what Boeing would 177 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.080 contribute to four oh one k plans. But what it 178 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.639 does not have is a reinstatement of the pension plan 179 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.559 that union members lost ten years ago in another labor agreement. 180 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.720 And that's one of the things that they have been demanding. 181 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.720 Yeah, that's a big deal. Also, there was some language, 182 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.200 did Boeing just Boweling promise to build airplanes that don't 183 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.960 fall out of the sky And they couldn't get that 184 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.600 language into the contract either. 185 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.600 Yeah, the new Boeing Hindenburg. Yeah it'd be nice, Yeah, 186 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:52.320 I would all right, the man accused in I don't 187 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.039 know why we got to keep calling it the apparent 188 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.840 assassination attempt of Donald Trump at the golf course there 189 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.840 in Florida, left behind notes saying that he intended to 190 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.360 kill the former president, and in his car they actually 191 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.759 found a handwritten list of dates and venues where Trump 192 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.039 was to appear. 193 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.440 But apparently he gave a. 194 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.559 Box that was dropped off months earlier to home some 195 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:22.639 unidentified person at this point that and they didn't open 196 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.919 the box until the arrest Sunday's arrest, and it had 197 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.279 notes and stuff in it, and one of them said, 198 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.120 this a dear world. This was an assassination attempt on 199 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.879 Donald Trump, but I failed. 200 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.399 You Hey, So he knew he was going to fail, 201 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:40.639 all right, that's one question. 202 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.600 Well, he had multiple notes apparently, and one of them 203 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.519 was if he failed. 204 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.600 Yeah, oh I see, it's like Dwight Eisenhower. The day 205 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.360 failed or it succeeded. He had two different letters that 206 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.000 went out, two different statements. 207 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.919 Same with Nixon and the of the landing on the moon. 208 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.279 Oh yeah, that's true. That's true. But what makes this 209 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:06.360 story different how it's evolved is originally the story was 210 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:11.879 that he was going after any target that he was 211 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.559 going after Republicans or Democrats or Supreme Court judges. All 212 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.679 were more on the list, and now it's winnowed down 213 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.759 to simply an attempt to assassinate the former president. 214 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.679 I thought that was the first guy had a list of. 215 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.639 I don't know if I'm conflating the two. Maybe it was, 216 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:30.320 Maybe it was. 217 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:36.480 But the interesting thing is correct in this letter, if 218 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.639 this letter he said something like offering one hundred and 219 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.320 fifty thousand, if he didn't do it for anybody else, 220 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.519 that it's time for America to stand up and do it. 221 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.519 I want to know what did the box have a 222 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.000 sign on it that said do not open until assassination attempt? 223 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.639 I was thinking, or yeah, or do not open until 224 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.240 him arrested, or do not open because until I'm gone. 225 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:57.960 I don't know. 226 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.559 I don't know that I'd received that from anybody. Like 227 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.879 there's no friend or family member that says, hey, here's 228 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.120 a box, don't open it. 229 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:07.960 Oh, you don't have any Oh you don't have any 230 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.039 friends or family members that are out there trying to 231 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.720 assassinate a president or former president. Oh okay, well the 232 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.120 rest of us certainly have friends. 233 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.159 No. 234 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.799 But I'm just saying, like, if somebody said, hey, here's 235 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.159 a box, just don't open it. 236 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.320 You'll know window open it. 237 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.240 I I'd open it. 238 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.320 House Republicans are turning their backs on their own because 239 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.919 they got to get this spending bill passed. So the 240 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.039 House Rules Committee stripped the government spending bill from consideration 241 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:45.799 last night, which meant that Republican leadership has to use 242 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.720 a procedural floor vote to and has to rely on 243 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.639 Democrats to get this spending bill passed so the government 244 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.120 doesn't shut down October first. 245 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.399 Yeah, this is a sort of, if you want to 246 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.399 call it, more the moderate wing of the Republican of 247 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.519 Republican Congress, because you have those that are on the 248 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.200 far right say we don't care. We either have this 249 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.519 bill that says people have to show ID in order 250 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.960 to vote, and we're willing to shut down the US government. 251 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.879 We don't care. Well, you got the rest of Congress 252 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:21.240 saying hang on a minute. Usually, these continuing resolution resolutions 253 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.200 to keep the government going, are are clear, are clean bills, 254 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.559 clean of the sense of that's the vote, we vote 255 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:34.159 to keep the government going, pending a vote to keep 256 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.039 to Now create a budget which has all the crap 257 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.159 in it, but it's well these are the politics has 258 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.159 happened before, and you know it's now. There are plenty 259 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.519 of people in Congress that say politics is far more 260 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.039 important than keeping the government alive then keeping people fed. 261 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.679 That we're getting checks. That's the part that stuns me. 262 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:01.399 A lot of these very conservative Congress folks are saying, 263 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.440 we are for you, We are for you, the little guy, 264 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.840 but we are prepared for you not to get checks 265 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.320 for a period of time and hope that the people 266 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.639 at the grocery store will accept the fact that you 267 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.600 will be getting a check in a couple of weeks. Boy, 268 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.159 this is all skewed. I mean, we're just going crazy here, 269 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.919 we really are. It's going to be a fun presidential for. 270 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:30.559 Russian military aircraft passed through the Alaska Air Defense Identification 271 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:36.679 Zone on Monday. It's news, but it's it does happen 272 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:38.120 sort of regularly. 273 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.120 This sea does all the time. 274 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.000 Yeah, and so you know, yeah, we didn't send anybody 275 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.279 to intercept it. Nothing happened, and but it's news. 276 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.840 I was watching a documentary last night on Netflix about 277 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.000 the Cold War, and one of the episodes talked about 278 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.279 Korean airlines Double O seven that flew over the Kamchaka 279 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:08.480 Kamchatka Peninsula into Russian airspace and they shot it down 280 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.640 and two hundred and thirty seven or two hundred fifty 281 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:16.680 seven people died. And I mean, so it's now flying 282 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.640 in and out of sovereign airspace is no big deal. 283 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.000 I mean, everybody does it with everybody else, and they 284 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.680 just don't. And these we're talking about military aircraft going 285 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.240 in over a country's airspace. Very different world. So I mean, 286 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.920 is anything going to happen? Not really, you know, it's 287 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.640 the same, we do it, tit for tat. 288 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.680 You know, murders are down, good news. Murders in the 289 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.279 US down eleven point six percent for twenty twenty three. 290 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.319 That's according statistics released by the FBI. They say that 291 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:55.119 violent crime overall was down three percent from twenty twenty 292 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.119 two to twenty twenty three. Sounds great, but that's still 293 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.519 one million, two hundred eight teeny four hundred and sixty 294 00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.319 seven violent crimes committed in twenty twenty three. 295 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.960 And here is the question I have, because this is 296 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.799 going to be a big issue of the presidential where 297 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.839 if well you're hearing Trump of course saying crime is 298 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.599 out of control. You can't go to school without getting 299 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.480 shot at, et cetera. And we're not hearing yet. Kamala 300 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.440 Harris saying, look at the stats that just came out. 301 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.000 But look at the stats. Crime is way down. So 302 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.880 let's say there's another debate, which there won't be. But 303 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.119 let's say there's another debate, or you have conflicting stories 304 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.799 the Trump campaign. Crime is out of control, it's going crazy, 305 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.519 the world's the most dangerous place to live, which, by 306 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.920 the way, the United States is one of the most 307 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.200 dangerous places to live in the world. And then the 308 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.319 other side said crime is down. Who believes what? 309 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.200 I don't believe that crime is down. 310 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.480 Okay, so fair enough, And let me ask you why 311 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.319 would the FBI say that murders are down? As matter 312 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.880 of fact, every single category of crime is down except 313 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.119 for car thef's which is up through the roof. 314 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.359 So why this is that's for the United States? 315 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.240 Yeah, it is for the United States. But that's a 316 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.359 national figure. It's a national figure, I understand it. 317 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.960 But there can be local figures that are higher than that. 318 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.440 There can in certain cities. I'd like to look at California. 319 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.160 Then I'd like to look at individual cities, for example, 320 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.200 Los Angeles. Then you have to look at the suburbs 321 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.799 of Los Angeles. Yes, so, I mean you can do 322 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.079 anything with this. But the point is, I want to 323 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.839 go back to Amy. Amy, you do not believe this 324 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:36.839 figure from the FBI. 325 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.720 The figures from the FBI might be correct, but overall, 326 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.480 I mean, we are hearing about stabbings on metros, people 327 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.920 being attacked. We had a USC student attacking a teacher. 328 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:54.440 We have smash and grab robberies every day, and. 329 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.640 We don't know if you have this. I don't know 330 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.279 if you have and scared used to. I don't know 331 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.319 if you have them every day. But what's happening is 332 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.440 we are getting the video of every single problem and 333 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.200 it's being reported because of the news cycles. That's the 334 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.000 problem I think is crime could go way down. The 335 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.359 smashing grabs I think, you know, I don't know if 336 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.319 they're up or not, but I know there's only a 337 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.000 handful of those smashing grabs that we see on me 338 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.160 on the videos. 339 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.640 Down the street from me, a couple nights ago, fifty 340 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:31.720 teams on bicycles road right to a seven to eleven 341 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.319 went in and just started grabbing everything and leaving. 342 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.880 But let me ask you if you're do you really 343 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.200 consider it a smash and grab if someone grabs a 344 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.519 bag of cheetos. 345 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.680 If they smash them, Yes, and they. 346 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.440 Have to smash the cheetos. See, I think of smashing 347 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.720 grabs of you go in and you grab expensive purses 348 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.759 and jewelry, smash and grabs for cheetos and a big gulp. 349 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.680 Is uh No, I understand your point. I under but 350 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:57.680 then look at the neighbor But look at the neighborhood 351 00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.599 you live in too. 352 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.480 It's true. I don't you live in a gated community. 353 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:03.960 I do. 354 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.400 I do not you you live surrounded by Republicans. 355 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:13.359 Oh that is so true. That is so true. I 356 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.759 mean up and down my street because I moved into 357 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:21.200 Orange County, it is nothing but American flags and Trump flags. 358 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.279 And of course I happen to be living with someone 359 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.240 who is insanely liberal. And we have that little tiny 360 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.480 flag that says we believe in women's rights, we believe 361 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.599 in true love, we believe in LGBTQ rights. We are 362 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.039 a house of love. And I told lindsay, I go, 363 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:40.640 you know, we're gonna die. That's it, We're gonna die. 364 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.279 This house is gonna be torched. We will not survive 365 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:50.000 the week. There's a Trump flag across the street that's 366 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:54.799 bigger than the flag they fly over the Capitol. Well, 367 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.680 you can't get into the garage because of the flag 368 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.680 covers up the entire our garage door. You know, we 369 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.759 didn't finish the conversation. I had to go to break 370 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.680 about the stats of crime in the United States, and 371 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.519 Amy and I were get into it, not into it. 372 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.599 We were discussing whether you could believe it or not. 373 00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.079 You know what the stats are. Of course stats. You 374 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.319 can do anything with stats. And Neil and I were 375 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.440 also talking about how his neighborhood had a smash and 376 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.960 grab just yesterday. I talked about how, you know, Neil's 377 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.640 neighborhood is, well, let's just say it can be sketchy 378 00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.400 parts of it. 379 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.839 And I pay good money to be nestled between ghettos. 380 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.279 Right, and then in my neighborhood, as you pointed out, 381 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:42.160 it's basically gated communities with all Trump supporters. So it's 382 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.759 a pretty white neighborhood. Now let me tell you, let 383 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.359 me go beyond that. We have a neighborhood watch. Now. 384 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.599 I don't have weapons, as you know, I don't believe 385 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:58.519 weapons no neighborhood watch in my neighborhood. Are neighbors taking 386 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:02.720 turns on top of their roofs with sniper rifles. That 387 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.599 is some very serious neighborhood watching. 388 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.200 You know what, you can't you can't deny, Yes, that 389 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:14.240 the stats that the FBI have are correct. However, when 390 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.160 they're not doing investigations in each town, they're pulling the 391 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.680 stats from local law enforcement. And if you have a 392 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:28.839 DA that reclassifies certain you know, felonies as misdemeanors, then it's. 393 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.720 Well, still a crime. 394 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.839 But you're right, you're violenced, going to change the severity, 395 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.720 that's true, That's right, there's reality. 396 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.599 Yeah, it's the stats. You can do anything with the 397 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.880 bottom line. All right, let's move on with a handle 398 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.640 on the news, Amy Neil and me. 399 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.680 All Right, more weather. 400 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.480 Florida is bracing for what could be the United States 401 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.400
