It's Schwitzmageddon. Let me turn thefan on. I'll be When I came
(03:45):
in at three this morning, itwas very balmy. I was a little
I was surprised. Yeah, well, I wouldn't use the word balmy.
Hold on, man, I'm goingto turn the fan on. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, this is a realtime. This is I like your
shorts. It's not just a Schwitz. It's Schwitz Apocalypse. My favorite thing
is how you put yourself ahead ofthe listener. It just is uh,
(04:10):
it just shows your priorities. Itdoes. And by the way, Heather,
when I'm broadcasting from home, Ihave a shirt on just for the
benefit of everybody here. I'm inmy sports shorts and sometimes I'm commando.
I go commando. So I mean, do you say vorts you know sports
(04:30):
Schwitz. Well, that's one ofthe benefits of radio, I suppose,
and just getting Yeah, if you'rein commando, we can I have the
hand the fan on high, andI get the air going past the score,
the scroat, and it is it'svery pleasant. Okay, I have
the fan on two, but fordifferent reasons, because I'm a middle aged
(04:51):
woman and we get hot. Yeah, yeah, you get these hot you
get the hot all right. Soanyways, Heather is with us a couple
of days. Neil, good morning, Good morning Bill, and Cono,
good morning Gross and and good morningmorning Bill. See there we go.
(05:16):
We've started. See it's almost likeevery day is Friday. Now have you
noticed, as it should be?Yeah, as it very well should be.
All Right, guys, we've gotplenty of news to cover on this
Monday morning, June twenty four.Let's do it a handle on the news
with Heather and Neil and me leaveStorry. Yeah, it's definitely sits a
(05:46):
rama today. Now it's going tobe I don't know how crazy it is.
Heather, just show throw out somedegrees. What we're going to hear
six? You can give us whereit is, but thank you for that.
Sorry. Yeah, that's like doingbaseball scores eight to two, five
(06:06):
to three. I get that thoseare nice scores in the Antelope Valley.
We've got it's supposed to be nicein the central coast, but we don't
care about them. Santa Clarita,San Fernandos, and Gabriel Valleys. There
is a heat advisory in effect inall those areas because it is going to
be brutally hot today. Yeah,it's going to be a switch today.
We have to have that drop bythe way, kno in and out those
(06:30):
various drops because it is insane andunfortunately, I think people are gonna die.
And that's no joke. Can yousay that without laughing? No?
I can't. But yeah, thatwas weird. Okay, and listen is
I looked at the story and I'mgoing come on, really? So the
National Weather Service has issued a statementof course very warm conditions will continue through
(06:57):
Thursday. If this is very warm? What is hot to these people?
I don't know the answer to that, but let me put it this way.
Very warm is an understatement. Okay, speaking of understatements, we should
put a thermometer in your pants andwe can have scroat watch. Oh no,
(07:18):
we can find out like what thereyou go, we see. We
take it to what I've had inthose areas and it's they're very, very
accurate, you know that. SoHeather, if you can add that to
the list the hot zips that weare talking about, the heat watch is
(07:43):
in effect. All right, let'smove on Bill's pants. All right,
father, this is a terrible transitionfrom these the story, but there has
been a father of four that wasshot and killed on the Metro station,
on a metro train. Specifically,it happened Friday night, thirty eight years
one. Garcia. He got intoan argument apparently with a group on the
(08:03):
Metro elne at Losiennega and Jefferson.The argument continued and they all gone on
the train and that's when police sayone of the suspects shot Garcia in the
head and he was pronounced dead.There another one on the metro training.
At what point do people simply stopgoing on the metro train unless you have
physically impossible, no possible way toget any place else and or you're homeless.
(08:26):
I think we're there. I thinkthe people that are riding the train
now have to and riding public transithave to. And it's the worst case
scenario. So the ads that yousee from the authorities, from the government
saying ride the train, ride publictransport, it'll help the environment. Does
anybody, even even environmentalists? Isthat off the table now because you die
(08:52):
when you get on a metro?Yeah, yeah, unless it's about the
nutrients the body give the earth whenyou bury it, says could be.
But I will tell you this,it's very simple. Government has two jobs,
protect and fill potholes. Good point, good point. Neither of them
are done here in Los Angeles.All right, gav is going to take
(09:16):
the mic. You've got California residentsbeing able to watch Governor gab Newsom State
of the State address online this week. He continues to do these, you
know, tries to hip it upor change it. I guess. So
this pre recorded speech well premiere simultaneouslyacross the office's social media channels and on
(09:37):
the website. If you remember,last year he didn't give a State of
the State address. He sent aletter out. Yeah, you can do
that. Historically, the state ofthe state, and state of the Union
and state of the city is reallyvery interesting. It all stems from the
US Constitution, where the president mustgive a state of the Union, not
(10:00):
an address, but a state meantabout the state of the Union. By
the way, the Constitution says fromtime to time. It doesn't say annually.
Oh but the California Constant. Yeah, the California Constitution says annually.
But it doesn't say how you cando a letter. You can literally do
two words, were great, andthere's the state of the Union. So
(10:24):
or in the state is a guywho doesn't doesn't mind cameras. It's always
a curiosity. By the way,he's not he's just delivering it via the
internet. On this he's just becausethe state of the state sucks, all
right, Oh no, no,not to no, please, not to
the governor. Not come on,and every president, we could be in
the middle of a nuclear apocalypse andyou're here going to Biden is going to
(10:48):
say, the state of the Unionis strong, and look what I did,
and look how terrific I am.But here's what we have to do.
Come on. So, Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin net Yahoo says that the
intense phase of the war with Hamasis about to end. However, he's
still vowing that he's going to continueoperating in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated.
(11:11):
Yeah, it's not stopping, it'sgoing on. How do you stop the
war and still destroy Hamas without thewar the final phase? I don't even
know what that means anymore. Imean, are they just going for full
apocalyptic destruction over there like that?Yeah, Well, it's as far as
(11:31):
Hamas is concerned. Yeah, Natanyahuin the far right wing, it's at
the war Cabinet, which is allreally hardliners, those that are left,
and yeah, they're saying we're notgoing we're not taking civilian targets out,
but of course they are because Hamasis in the civilian targets. And so
(11:52):
there's no good answer here at all. And Hamas will never cave as far
as its own power is concerned.It'll never be able to Israelis will never
be able to force comastases functioning.So they'll cut some kind of a deal,
but there won't be much left theGaza by the time this is over.
Yeah, who is slowly becoming theOpera of the Middle East. You
(12:13):
get a ball, and you geta ball, You get a ball.
Yeah, all right. So gunmanopened fire on places of worship, into
cities, among other targets of Russia'ssouthernmost Augistan providence on Sunday, killing at
least fifteen police officers for civilians,including an Orthodox priest. Yeah, this
(12:35):
is not the say it's coordinated,co ordinating. This is not Ukraine versus
Russia. These are fanatical Muslims,terrorists versus everybody. And they happen to
be in Russia. I mean,this province happens to have a lot of
Muslims in it. Isn't this thesecond of attack of its kind recently?
It wasn't there? Oh, therewas a huge one. I mean there
(12:58):
was one if you remember the videoin that Yes it was in that arena
where one hundred and fifty seven peoplewere killed. Then you can it's a
few months ago, right, Yeah, it was crazy. So and I
think Isis took credit for that one. This ice is k or whatever,
Yeah, yeah, something like that. It's just the whole world has problems
with that one. All right,Do we want to play the baby Shark
(13:20):
music here? Kono? No?All right? Shark Sightings closing Orange County
Beaches. Surfside Beach and Seal Beachwas closed on Saturday after shark was spotted.
Seal Beach Police Department said that they'reinvestigating. Yeah, but it was
two hours. Yeah, it wastwo hours. I mean, you know,
a shark didn't it wouldn't even havetime to actually fully eat someone in
(13:41):
two hours. Well, fortunately theydidn't, so they're they're all clear.
The beach is back open. Nobodywas hurt, so that's good news.
Right. So, just it's kindof boring. Be aware of your surroundings
in the ocean people, How doyou do that? For shark is swimming
underneath you? Are you aware ofyour surroundings and you I am because I'm
(14:01):
sitting on the beach. I'm notgetting exact and you can see. Yeah,
when do you know there's a sharkin the water When someone next to
you gets eaten or when your legcomes off. Well, if you've seen
Jaws, it's when the screaming beginsand people start being pulled underwater. But
you think about it, what dothey eat seals? Where was this?
(14:22):
Yeah? Where did this take place? Beach? No? In? Where
beach in? So that's the equivalentof handle swimming around a place called Hamburger
or pizza Beach. Yeah? Wait, does that beach exist? Because I
want to go to there. Iknow, sign me up for a cabana.
All right. A summer carnival inLos Angeles turned deadly. Yet teen
(14:43):
fatally stabs another team, and thisparticular carnival was sponsored by the LA Police
Department. Just happened to be Butit sounds like a sixteen year old and
fifteen year old boy were involved.One of them was stabbed death. I
mean, are we getting more ofthese or they're just we just pick and
(15:07):
choose. That's what makes us alittle bit of a spin because otherwise,
you know, this is nothing ofa story because we get these every day.
You get shootings every day, sothey're getting younger too. How many
mass shootings were there over the lastfew days, I don't know, several
of them around the country. It'syeah, now it's getting now. The
(15:31):
question is what makes a story astory? And you're right. The only
reason that this is a story,Neil, it was at an LAPD event
where someone gets stabbed. There's thestory, not that someone got stabbed.
Well, we're starting to get thesestories now because the difference is that they
weren't on a metro train. Yes, yeah, good point. Solid point.
(15:54):
Protesters are facing multiple charges after delayingtravelers. Sixth Climate protesters stormed the
eighteenth Green at the PGA while leaderswere lining up for their putts, lining
up their puts rather for the finalhole of the PGA Tours Travelers Championship yesterday.
(16:15):
Protesters they came in from all directionsaround the green and waved smoke bombs
that left white and red residue onthe putt and green. Before Scotti,
Scheffler and crew finished their rounds,they had t shirts with the words no
golf on a dead planet, justmean crazy. First of all, we
could do a lot with their quotelining up for their puts spelled putz.
(16:40):
That's one. The second point hereis this is Connecticut. You know these
guys were released after posting five thousanddollars in bail. If there were if
this were to happen in Los Angeles, do you think anybody would get tagged
with a five thousand dollars bail?There would be no bail, there would
(17:00):
be nothing. There would be therecoming in and walking right out of the
gas out of the police station.Stopping only long enough to do a fingerprint
and take a photo, and we'resorry for the inconvenience, or we'll try
to move this as quickly as possible. That's what you get in Los Angeles.
(17:21):
These guys, hopefully are going toget nailed for this first degree criminal
mischief, first degree criminal trespass,and breach of peace. And I'd like
them to see six months in jail. Saying you want to protest, and
you want to get in the wayof people's liberty and life and the ability
(17:41):
to go to a golf tournament,you pay for it. Okay, So
this is what we do. Weget the whole gang here for the morning
show, We invite listeners out,and we start protesting and blocking Trader Joe's
and vegan restaurants, and see howthese protesters like it. I'd like it.
Oh, Trader Joe's is great.Don't do that with Trader Jose.
(18:02):
No, I'm just saying, oh, Kagan restaurants, absolutely, vegan restaurants
and Petuli oil factories, and willjust block them and then they you don't
have to worry about deodorant factories becausethey don't wear it, but you know,
block something they like yeah, it'slike these protests around the country in
which the Palestinian pro Palestinian protesters areblocking entrance to their students, they're defacing
(18:30):
the buildings, they're taking over variousparts of the university, and everybody's pissed
off. The university is not quotethat they're not talking to them. They're
not negotiating. You refuse to negotiatewith us. Negotiate about what. Explain
to me where WIT's they're to negotiate. You should only go up three feet
(18:52):
in terms of your tagging, andnot a full six feet. What are
you doing? That's how crazy ithas become good for Connecticut. I hope
these guys. I hope these guysliterally get six months at least and by
court order sodomized by Bubba several timesa day. That'll straighten them out.
Can you order that legal? Ithink, well depends. Heads are what
(19:15):
you're gonna need. Yeah, Iwould, I mean I wouldn't order that.
Saudi Arabia said just yesterday that morethan thirteen hundred people have died on
this year's Hajj pilgrimage, and breakingit down, eighty three percent of those
who died were what they referred toas unauthorized to perform the hajj. That
(19:36):
it means they were walking long distancesunder direct sunlight. But they're severely elderly
or several elderly people, chronically illindividuals. These are the people that are
dying during this. Yeah. Alsoit's one hundred and twenty degrees out there.
Now have you seen the video ofwhat happens at the hodj? This
(19:57):
is in Mecca. You've got thebig building in the center, this Kaba
or Kaba, and there's a zonethat is at the corner of it that
the pilgrims people Muslims they go tothe Hajj are supposed to kiss, but
you can't because there are hundreds ofthousands of people there, so it's not
(20:18):
mandatory to kiss the stone. It'sbeen going on for millennia. And they
go counterclockwise. The entire crowd ofthree hundred thousand people that you see there,
and they have to circle it seventimes, and everybody's dressed in white.
And this is the holiest spot inall of Islam. And you're supposed
to Muslims if they can make thehajj once in their lives, and that
(20:47):
is mandatory unless you can't do it. Obviously, poor people can't go.
But that's something that every Muslim strivesfor. And when you have hundreds of
thousands of people congregating and then movingas a group around the Kabbah, let
me tell you, it gets hotterthan hell. People are crammed together.
(21:07):
A few years ago, there wasa real problem in that there are the
bridges over various areas that were therewas gridlock. People died, but thirteen
hundred I don't remember thirteen hundred dyingon Hajj this year. I mean,
it is crazy. And the SaudiArabia tries, I mean they are a
lot of crowd control, but youknow you're going to have people dying.
(21:30):
It's one hundred and twenty degrees outside, so that is a tremendous amount of
people. Shocking number of people justdying in the desert. And I have
to say, I recover this storyall morning and was totally pronouncing Hajj wrong.
But don't worry, everyone corrected mevery swiftly. So how'd you I
(21:51):
don't know, my country was showing, but I was saying, Haji no,
no, that is no, that'slike an impanada. Haji is a
little pastry thing with meat in it. Oh, by the way, that's
not true at all. I justI was like, I just literally made
up. I was gonna say,not only have I not heard of it,
but it sounds still delicius. Youtoo can have a Oh my god,
(22:17):
it's it's the hodge. My apologiesto all of the people who celebrate
Hajj and also to the news directorwho is very upset with me. All
right, uh us, this isa little bit of blowback for the leaf
blowers pun intended. Hello, alittle bit of controversy here in New Jersey.
The excuse me second, Okay,I'm not dying. That just got
(22:38):
weird. In New Jersey, itlooks like they're considering banning statewide. They're
considering banning leaf blowers, and it'skind of a controversy between people who don't
like the gas powered ones versus thebattery powered ones. The leaf blowing industry
says the battery powered ones are notas effective, but people who want the
(23:03):
band say that the gas powered leafblowers aren't good for pollution, and they
aren't good where people live and wherechildren should be illegal. To begin with,
Yeah, you know, has anybodyever seen a broom and a big
broom and a dust pan. Youknow those do exist. I have to
say, I wish that if they'regoing to keep the leaf blowers, I
(23:26):
wish that everybody would get on thesame leaf blowing schedule, because in my
neighborhood there are leaf blowers going offevery single day of the week, every
morning, every day. That shouldbe a round out the gunfire in my
neighborhood. So it's kind of anice change. Tell you, it's more
expensive, it's much more expensive touse batteries, it's inefficient, and yeah,
(23:49):
it would be better if you hada vacuum, but a broom and
a dust pan is not going todo it, will Well, Okay,
how I know you do this yourselfall the time? Oh yeah, you
know, yeah, I certainly do. I hit that old leaf blower every
week. They should have. Imean, what they're arguing, which is
legitimate, is that the gas poweredones, even though they're more powerful,
(24:14):
I mean, look at the pollution, look at the noise. They should
have nuclear these because now nuclear motor'snuclear engines are so small they can put
them in leaf blowers or completely silentat least the engine part of it.
Wow, that's a great idea.I have to look into that. It's
like a nuclear powered submarine, anuclear powered leaf blower. Doesn't that this
(24:37):
is what this I tell you?Sounds safe? Yeah, sure, sounds
good to me. I've seen thoseold test explosion videos. It pretty much
cleans the block. Yeah. Itcertainly does nothing better than Donald Trump speaking
to a group of evangelicals. Whata match. So he said to them
they cannot afford to sit on thesideline in the twenty twenty four election,
(25:02):
imploring them at one point to goand vote Christians please. Yeah. And
then he also endorsed displaying the TenCommandments in school and elsewhere. While speaking
to a group of these influential politically, he was commenting on Louisiana just passing
a law that says the Ten Commandmentsmust be displayed in every classroom in the
(25:25):
state, all public schools, innice, big letters. So he is
endorsing that. Now I have aquestion when you look at the Ten Commandments
and Trump endorsing that, it isquestionable as to nine of them. Okay,
I think number seven Trump has areal problem with thou shall not commit
(25:48):
adultery. So maybe he just bypassesone, and Trump says, I believe
in the publication of the Nine Commandments. What do you think he just goes
through and goes nope, Yeah,just check some off. This one's bad.
Yeah, I could do better.Nope, that's true. I like
to see that. All right.This is a really heartbreaking story that happened
(26:12):
at Wild Rivers water Park in Irvine. A young boy died after a medical
incident. It happened outside of thepool. We don't have a lot of
details when what exactly happened. Hewas twelve years old, enjoying the water
park this weekend and he passed away. And we don't know what it is.
(26:33):
We just know that it wasn't waterrelated. That's what the park is
saying, Yeah, which seems toindicate there was. Are they going to
say natural causes? And we don'tknow natural causes with a twelve year old.
I mean, obviously it's heart problems. It's something going on, and
it does happen. You could havehad an allergic reaction, could be you
just don't know at this point,or we don't know. Really sad,
(26:55):
all right. Democrats in California haveagreed to delay a minimum way agent increase
for about four hundred and twenty sixthousand healthcare workers because they need to balance
the state budget. Now. Ofcourse, Governor Gavin Newsom doesn't have a
problem forcing that minimum wage hike onothers, but he can't afford it,
so they're pushing it off from yeah, we can't afford it. And as
(27:18):
far as the healthcare workers, we'retalking about twenty five dollars per hour up
to the next decade, So youknow, you don't know how long that's
going to take. Now, that'sgoing to be delayed, delayed and delayed.
And I'm going to talk a littlebit about healthcare workers and their connection
to the topic that I am goingto do, and that's at where's that
(27:38):
going to be? I think?Let me see seven thirty wow, seven
thirty. I was just trying tofigure out where he goes because it's sort
of connected peripherally, and I justwanted to somehow put that together, and
I didn't do a wonderful job.Okay, let's move on to American Paul
(28:00):
Wheelan has now surpassed two thousand daysin Russian custody. He told CNN he's
urging the Biden administration to take somemore decisive action to help secure his release
and fellow detained American Evan Gerkovich.I hope I'm saying that correctly. He
has been declared wrongfully detained by theUS State Department and was arrested in Moscow
(28:25):
in December of twenty eighteen and sentencedto sixteen years in prison on espionage charges
and has consistently and vehemently denied thosecharges. Yeah, there's a problem with
the Americans being being locked up overthere. Britney Griner got out after eight
or nine months, but she wasnot accused of espionage. These two are
(28:47):
certainly Paul Wheelan straight out espionage,and then you have you've got Evan who
has been accused of I guess spying. Also, one is es manage,
one is straight out spines. Sowe're not going to see them anytime soon,
unfortunately. All Right, Hollywood businessowners are rightfully upset. They're frustrated
(29:11):
after planters that were installed to keephomeless encampments from growing were ordered to be
removed by the city. So ifyou pee and poop on the streets and
put your garbage everywhere and set uptents, that's okay. But if you
put planters and trees. Now,these are the businesses that are putting planters
(29:34):
in trees to keep those people off. I realize that, but that gets
the city boomed. They're right there, I say, they cover them in
tents and they put human feces aroundthem, and the city will assume that
they're They can rightfully be there.Why not KFI AM six forty Live everywhere

(01:11):
night where there was some lady visitingfrom Las Vegas and she was in Washington,
D C. And she was goingto go visit Lincoln Memorial and the
Washington Memorial and she was in apark in the shade and she wasn't moving.

It's Schwitzmageddon. Let me turn thefan on. I'll be When I came
(03:45):
in at three this morning, itwas very balmy. I was a little
I was surprised. Yeah, well, I wouldn't use the word balmy.
Hold on, man, I'm goingto turn the fan on. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, this is a realtime. This is I like your
shorts. It's not just a Schwitz. It's Schwitz Apocalypse. My favorite thing
is how you put yourself ahead ofthe listener. It just is uh,
(04:10):
it just shows your priorities. Itdoes. And by the way, Heather,
when I'm broadcasting from home, Ihave a shirt on just for the
benefit of everybody here. I'm inmy sports shorts and sometimes I'm commando.
I go commando. So I mean, do you say vorts you know sports
(04:30):
Schwitz. Well, that's one ofthe benefits of radio, I suppose,
and just getting Yeah, if you'rein commando, we can I have the
hand the fan on high, andI get the air going past the score,
the scroat, and it is it'svery pleasant. Okay, I have
the fan on two, but fordifferent reasons, because I'm a middle aged
(04:51):
woman and we get hot. Yeah, yeah, you get these hot you
get the hot all right. Soanyways, Heather is with us a couple
of days. Neil, good morning, Good morning Bill, and Cono,
good morning Gross and and good morningmorning Bill. See there we go.
(05:16):
We've started. See it's almost likeevery day is Friday. Now have you
noticed, as it should be?Yeah, as it very well should be.
All Right, guys, we've gotplenty of news to cover on this
Monday morning, June twenty four.Let's do it a handle on the news
with Heather and Neil and me leaveStorry. Yeah, it's definitely sits a
(05:46):
rama today. Now it's going tobe I don't know how crazy it is.
Heather, just show throw out somedegrees. What we're going to hear
six? You can give us whereit is, but thank you for that.
Sorry. Yeah, that's like doingbaseball scores eight to two, five
(06:06):
to three. I get that thoseare nice scores in the Antelope Valley.
We've got it's supposed to be nicein the central coast, but we don't
care about them. Santa Clarita,San Fernandos, and Gabriel Valleys. There
is a heat advisory in effect inall those areas because it is going to
be brutally hot today. Yeah,it's going to be a switch today.
We have to have that drop bythe way, kno in and out those
(06:30):
various drops because it is insane andunfortunately, I think people are gonna die.
And that's no joke. Can yousay that without laughing? No?
I can't. But yeah, thatwas weird. Okay, and listen is
I looked at the story and I'mgoing come on, really? So the
National Weather Service has issued a statementof course very warm conditions will continue through
(06:57):
Thursday. If this is very warm? What is hot to these people?
I don't know the answer to that, but let me put it this way.
Very warm is an understatement. Okay, speaking of understatements, we should
put a thermometer in your pants andwe can have scroat watch. Oh no,
(07:18):
we can find out like what thereyou go, we see. We
take it to what I've had inthose areas and it's they're very, very
accurate, you know that. SoHeather, if you can add that to
the list the hot zips that weare talking about, the heat watch is
(07:43):
in effect. All right, let'smove on Bill's pants. All right,
father, this is a terrible transitionfrom these the story, but there has
been a father of four that wasshot and killed on the Metro station,
on a metro train. Specifically,it happened Friday night, thirty eight years
one. Garcia. He got intoan argument apparently with a group on the
(08:03):
Metro elne at Losiennega and Jefferson.The argument continued and they all gone on
the train and that's when police sayone of the suspects shot Garcia in the
head and he was pronounced dead.There another one on the metro training.
At what point do people simply stopgoing on the metro train unless you have
physically impossible, no possible way toget any place else and or you're homeless.
(08:26):
I think we're there. I thinkthe people that are riding the train
now have to and riding public transithave to. And it's the worst case
scenario. So the ads that yousee from the authorities, from the government
saying ride the train, ride publictransport, it'll help the environment. Does
anybody, even even environmentalists? Isthat off the table now because you die
(08:52):
when you get on a metro?Yeah, yeah, unless it's about the
nutrients the body give the earth whenyou bury it, says could be.
But I will tell you this,it's very simple. Government has two jobs,
protect and fill potholes. Good point, good point. Neither of them
are done here in Los Angeles.All right, gav is going to take
(09:16):
the mic. You've got California residentsbeing able to watch Governor gab Newsom State
of the State address online this week. He continues to do these, you
know, tries to hip it upor change it. I guess. So
this pre recorded speech well premiere simultaneouslyacross the office's social media channels and on
(09:37):
the website. If you remember,last year he didn't give a State of
the State address. He sent aletter out. Yeah, you can do
that. Historically, the state ofthe state, and state of the Union
and state of the city is reallyvery interesting. It all stems from the
US Constitution, where the president mustgive a state of the Union, not
(10:00):
an address, but a state meantabout the state of the Union. By
the way, the Constitution says fromtime to time. It doesn't say annually.
Oh but the California Constant. Yeah, the California Constitution says annually.
But it doesn't say how you cando a letter. You can literally do
two words, were great, andthere's the state of the Union. So
(10:24):
or in the state is a guywho doesn't doesn't mind cameras. It's always
a curiosity. By the way,he's not he's just delivering it via the
internet. On this he's just becausethe state of the state sucks, all
right, Oh no, no,not to no, please, not to
the governor. Not come on,and every president, we could be in
the middle of a nuclear apocalypse andyou're here going to Biden is going to
(10:48):
say, the state of the Unionis strong, and look what I did,
and look how terrific I am.But here's what we have to do.
Come on. So, Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin net Yahoo says that the
intense phase of the war with Hamasis about to end. However, he's
still vowing that he's going to continueoperating in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated.
(11:11):
Yeah, it's not stopping, it'sgoing on. How do you stop the
war and still destroy Hamas without thewar the final phase? I don't even
know what that means anymore. Imean, are they just going for full
apocalyptic destruction over there like that?Yeah, Well, it's as far as
(11:31):
Hamas is concerned. Yeah, Natanyahuin the far right wing, it's at
the war Cabinet, which is allreally hardliners, those that are left,
and yeah, they're saying we're notgoing we're not taking civilian targets out,
but of course they are because Hamasis in the civilian targets. And so
(11:52):
there's no good answer here at all. And Hamas will never cave as far
as its own power is concerned.It'll never be able to Israelis will never
be able to force comastases functioning.So they'll cut some kind of a deal,
but there won't be much left theGaza by the time this is over.
Yeah, who is slowly becoming theOpera of the Middle East. You
(12:13):
get a ball, and you geta ball, You get a ball.
Yeah, all right. So gunmanopened fire on places of worship, into
cities, among other targets of Russia'ssouthernmost Augistan providence on Sunday, killing at
least fifteen police officers for civilians,including an Orthodox priest. Yeah, this
(12:35):
is not the say it's coordinated,co ordinating. This is not Ukraine versus
Russia. These are fanatical Muslims,terrorists versus everybody. And they happen to
be in Russia. I mean,this province happens to have a lot of
Muslims in it. Isn't this thesecond of attack of its kind recently?
It wasn't there? Oh, therewas a huge one. I mean there
(12:58):
was one if you remember the videoin that Yes it was in that arena
where one hundred and fifty seven peoplewere killed. Then you can it's a
few months ago, right, Yeah, it was crazy. So and I
think Isis took credit for that one. This ice is k or whatever,
Yeah, yeah, something like that. It's just the whole world has problems
with that one. All right,Do we want to play the baby Shark
(13:20):
music here? Kono? No?All right? Shark Sightings closing Orange County
Beaches. Surfside Beach and Seal Beachwas closed on Saturday after shark was spotted.
Seal Beach Police Department said that they'reinvestigating. Yeah, but it was
two hours. Yeah, it wastwo hours. I mean, you know,
a shark didn't it wouldn't even havetime to actually fully eat someone in
(13:41):
two hours. Well, fortunately theydidn't, so they're they're all clear.
The beach is back open. Nobodywas hurt, so that's good news.
Right. So, just it's kindof boring. Be aware of your surroundings
in the ocean people, How doyou do that? For shark is swimming
underneath you? Are you aware ofyour surroundings and you I am because I'm
(14:01):
sitting on the beach. I'm notgetting exact and you can see. Yeah,
when do you know there's a sharkin the water When someone next to
you gets eaten or when your legcomes off. Well, if you've seen
Jaws, it's when the screaming beginsand people start being pulled underwater. But
you think about it, what dothey eat seals? Where was this?
(14:22):
Yeah? Where did this take place? Beach? No? In? Where
beach in? So that's the equivalentof handle swimming around a place called Hamburger
or pizza Beach. Yeah? Wait, does that beach exist? Because I
want to go to there. Iknow, sign me up for a cabana.
All right. A summer carnival inLos Angeles turned deadly. Yet teen
(14:43):
fatally stabs another team, and thisparticular carnival was sponsored by the LA Police
Department. Just happened to be Butit sounds like a sixteen year old and
fifteen year old boy were involved.One of them was stabbed death. I
mean, are we getting more ofthese or they're just we just pick and
(15:07):
choose. That's what makes us alittle bit of a spin because otherwise,
you know, this is nothing ofa story because we get these every day.
You get shootings every day, sothey're getting younger too. How many
mass shootings were there over the lastfew days, I don't know, several
of them around the country. It'syeah, now it's getting now. The
(15:31):
question is what makes a story astory? And you're right. The only
reason that this is a story,Neil, it was at an LAPD event
where someone gets stabbed. There's thestory, not that someone got stabbed.
Well, we're starting to get thesestories now because the difference is that they
weren't on a metro train. Yes, yeah, good point. Solid point.
(15:54):
Protesters are facing multiple charges after delayingtravelers. Sixth Climate protesters stormed the
eighteenth Green at the PGA while leaderswere lining up for their putts, lining
up their puts rather for the finalhole of the PGA Tours Travelers Championship yesterday.
(16:15):
Protesters they came in from all directionsaround the green and waved smoke bombs
that left white and red residue onthe putt and green. Before Scotti,
Scheffler and crew finished their rounds,they had t shirts with the words no
golf on a dead planet, justmean crazy. First of all, we
could do a lot with their quotelining up for their puts spelled putz.
(16:40):
That's one. The second point hereis this is Connecticut. You know these
guys were released after posting five thousanddollars in bail. If there were if
this were to happen in Los Angeles, do you think anybody would get tagged
with a five thousand dollars bail?There would be no bail, there would
(17:00):
be nothing. There would be therecoming in and walking right out of the
gas out of the police station.Stopping only long enough to do a fingerprint
and take a photo, and we'resorry for the inconvenience, or we'll try
to move this as quickly as possible. That's what you get in Los Angeles.
(17:21):
These guys, hopefully are going toget nailed for this first degree criminal
mischief, first degree criminal trespass,and breach of peace. And I'd like
them to see six months in jail. Saying you want to protest, and
you want to get in the wayof people's liberty and life and the ability
(17:41):
to go to a golf tournament,you pay for it. Okay, So
this is what we do. Weget the whole gang here for the morning
show, We invite listeners out,and we start protesting and blocking Trader Joe's
and vegan restaurants, and see howthese protesters like it. I'd like it.
Oh, Trader Joe's is great.Don't do that with Trader Jose.
(18:02):
No, I'm just saying, oh, Kagan restaurants, absolutely, vegan restaurants
and Petuli oil factories, and willjust block them and then they you don't
have to worry about deodorant factories becausethey don't wear it, but you know,
block something they like yeah, it'slike these protests around the country in
which the Palestinian pro Palestinian protesters areblocking entrance to their students, they're defacing
(18:30):
the buildings, they're taking over variousparts of the university, and everybody's pissed
off. The university is not quotethat they're not talking to them. They're
not negotiating. You refuse to negotiatewith us. Negotiate about what. Explain
to me where WIT's they're to negotiate. You should only go up three feet
(18:52):
in terms of your tagging, andnot a full six feet. What are
you doing? That's how crazy ithas become good for Connecticut. I hope
these guys. I hope these guysliterally get six months at least and by
court order sodomized by Bubba several timesa day. That'll straighten them out.
Can you order that legal? Ithink, well depends. Heads are what
(19:15):
you're gonna need. Yeah, Iwould, I mean I wouldn't order that.
Saudi Arabia said just yesterday that morethan thirteen hundred people have died on
this year's Hajj pilgrimage, and breakingit down, eighty three percent of those
who died were what they referred toas unauthorized to perform the hajj. That
(19:36):
it means they were walking long distancesunder direct sunlight. But they're severely elderly
or several elderly people, chronically illindividuals. These are the people that are
dying during this. Yeah. Alsoit's one hundred and twenty degrees out there.
Now have you seen the video ofwhat happens at the hodj? This
(19:57):
is in Mecca. You've got thebig building in the center, this Kaba
or Kaba, and there's a zonethat is at the corner of it that
the pilgrims people Muslims they go tothe Hajj are supposed to kiss, but
you can't because there are hundreds ofthousands of people there, so it's not
(20:18):
mandatory to kiss the stone. It'sbeen going on for millennia. And they
go counterclockwise. The entire crowd ofthree hundred thousand people that you see there,
and they have to circle it seventimes, and everybody's dressed in white.
And this is the holiest spot inall of Islam. And you're supposed
to Muslims if they can make thehajj once in their lives, and that
(20:47):
is mandatory unless you can't do it. Obviously, poor people can't go.
But that's something that every Muslim strivesfor. And when you have hundreds of
thousands of people congregating and then movingas a group around the Kabbah, let
me tell you, it gets hotterthan hell. People are crammed together.
(21:07):
A few years ago, there wasa real problem in that there are the
bridges over various areas that were therewas gridlock. People died, but thirteen
hundred I don't remember thirteen hundred dyingon Hajj this year. I mean,
it is crazy. And the SaudiArabia tries, I mean they are a
lot of crowd control, but youknow you're going to have people dying.
(21:30):
It's one hundred and twenty degrees outside, so that is a tremendous amount of
people. Shocking number of people justdying in the desert. And I have
to say, I recover this storyall morning and was totally pronouncing Hajj wrong.
But don't worry, everyone corrected mevery swiftly. So how'd you I
(21:51):
don't know, my country was showing, but I was saying, Haji no,
no, that is no, that'slike an impanada. Haji is a
little pastry thing with meat in it. Oh, by the way, that's
not true at all. I justI was like, I just literally made
up. I was gonna say,not only have I not heard of it,
but it sounds still delicius. Youtoo can have a Oh my god,
(22:17):
it's it's the hodge. My apologiesto all of the people who celebrate
Hajj and also to the news directorwho is very upset with me. All
right, uh us, this isa little bit of blowback for the leaf
blowers pun intended. Hello, alittle bit of controversy here in New Jersey.
The excuse me second, Okay,I'm not dying. That just got
(22:38):
weird. In New Jersey, itlooks like they're considering banning statewide. They're
considering banning leaf blowers, and it'skind of a controversy between people who don't
like the gas powered ones versus thebattery powered ones. The leaf blowing industry
says the battery powered ones are notas effective, but people who want the
(23:03):
band say that the gas powered leafblowers aren't good for pollution, and they
aren't good where people live and wherechildren should be illegal. To begin with,
Yeah, you know, has anybodyever seen a broom and a big
broom and a dust pan. Youknow those do exist. I have to
say, I wish that if they'regoing to keep the leaf blowers, I
(23:26):
wish that everybody would get on thesame leaf blowing schedule, because in my
neighborhood there are leaf blowers going offevery single day of the week, every
morning, every day. That shouldbe a round out the gunfire in my
neighborhood. So it's kind of anice change. Tell you, it's more
expensive, it's much more expensive touse batteries, it's inefficient, and yeah,
(23:49):
it would be better if you hada vacuum, but a broom and
a dust pan is not going todo it, will Well, Okay,
how I know you do this yourselfall the time? Oh yeah, you
know, yeah, I certainly do. I hit that old leaf blower every
week. They should have. Imean, what they're arguing, which is
legitimate, is that the gas poweredones, even though they're more powerful,
(24:14):
I mean, look at the pollution, look at the noise. They should
have nuclear these because now nuclear motor'snuclear engines are so small they can put
them in leaf blowers or completely silentat least the engine part of it.
Wow, that's a great idea.I have to look into that. It's
like a nuclear powered submarine, anuclear powered leaf blower. Doesn't that this
(24:37):
is what this I tell you?Sounds safe? Yeah, sure, sounds
good to me. I've seen thoseold test explosion videos. It pretty much
cleans the block. Yeah. Itcertainly does nothing better than Donald Trump speaking
to a group of evangelicals. Whata match. So he said to them
they cannot afford to sit on thesideline in the twenty twenty four election,
(25:02):
imploring them at one point to goand vote Christians please. Yeah. And
then he also endorsed displaying the TenCommandments in school and elsewhere. While speaking
to a group of these influential politically, he was commenting on Louisiana just passing
a law that says the Ten Commandmentsmust be displayed in every classroom in the
(25:25):
state, all public schools, innice, big letters. So he is
endorsing that. Now I have aquestion when you look at the Ten Commandments
and Trump endorsing that, it isquestionable as to nine of them. Okay,
I think number seven Trump has areal problem with thou shall not commit
(25:48):
adultery. So maybe he just bypassesone, and Trump says, I believe
in the publication of the Nine Commandments. What do you think he just goes
through and goes nope, Yeah,just check some off. This one's bad.
Yeah, I could do better.Nope, that's true. I like
to see that. All right.This is a really heartbreaking story that happened
(26:12):
at Wild Rivers water Park in Irvine. A young boy died after a medical
incident. It happened outside of thepool. We don't have a lot of
details when what exactly happened. Hewas twelve years old, enjoying the water
park this weekend and he passed away. And we don't know what it is.
(26:33):
We just know that it wasn't waterrelated. That's what the park is
saying, Yeah, which seems toindicate there was. Are they going to
say natural causes? And we don'tknow natural causes with a twelve year old.
I mean, obviously it's heart problems. It's something going on, and
it does happen. You could havehad an allergic reaction, could be you
just don't know at this point,or we don't know. Really sad,
(26:55):
all right. Democrats in California haveagreed to delay a minimum way agent increase
for about four hundred and twenty sixthousand healthcare workers because they need to balance
the state budget. Now. Ofcourse, Governor Gavin Newsom doesn't have a
problem forcing that minimum wage hike onothers, but he can't afford it,
so they're pushing it off from yeah, we can't afford it. And as
(27:18):
far as the healthcare workers, we'retalking about twenty five dollars per hour up
to the next decade, So youknow, you don't know how long that's
going to take. Now, that'sgoing to be delayed, delayed and delayed.
And I'm going to talk a littlebit about healthcare workers and their connection
to the topic that I am goingto do, and that's at where's that
(27:38):
going to be? I think?Let me see seven thirty wow, seven
thirty. I was just trying tofigure out where he goes because it's sort
of connected peripherally, and I justwanted to somehow put that together, and
I didn't do a wonderful job.Okay, let's move on to American Paul
(28:00):
Wheelan has now surpassed two thousand daysin Russian custody. He told CNN he's
urging the Biden administration to take somemore decisive action to help secure his release
and fellow detained American Evan Gerkovich.I hope I'm saying that correctly. He
has been declared wrongfully detained by theUS State Department and was arrested in Moscow
(28:25):
in December of twenty eighteen and sentencedto sixteen years in prison on espionage charges
and has consistently and vehemently denied thosecharges. Yeah, there's a problem with
the Americans being being locked up overthere. Britney Griner got out after eight
or nine months, but she wasnot accused of espionage. These two are
(28:47):
certainly Paul Wheelan straight out espionage,and then you have you've got Evan who
has been accused of I guess spying. Also, one is es manage,
one is straight out spines. Sowe're not going to see them anytime soon,
unfortunately. All Right, Hollywood businessowners are rightfully upset. They're frustrated
(29:11):
after planters that were installed to keephomeless encampments from growing were ordered to be
removed by the city. So ifyou pee and poop on the streets and
put your garbage everywhere and set uptents, that's okay. But if you
put planters and trees. Now,these are the businesses that are putting planters
(29:34):
in trees to keep those people off. I realize that, but that gets
the city boomed. They're right there, I say, they cover them in
tents and they put human feces aroundthem, and the city will assume that
they're They can rightfully be there.Why not KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
