(01:27):
not cold. And it goes throughwhat and Robert Oppenheimer is being interviewed,
and he said he referred to whathe said when Trinity went off the test
bomb in New Mexico, and hesaid that and Robert Oppenheimer's just he knew
everything, and the guy was justbrilliant. And he quoted from the bug
(01:49):
god the baita there it is bugof a gita there, yeah, you
know, and from Vishnu saying somethingabout I am I am Death, the
destroyer of worlds. And that iswhat he came up with. You know,
while the bomb went off. Ofcourse, other scientists went, wow,
(02:15):
look at that. It's different.Yeah, different people react differently to
different things. Yeah. Some laughedby the way in Glee because they were
able to what they did was soextraordinary, you know when you have a
huge success. Others were completely silent, realizing changed the world. Yeah,
(02:38):
would And I don't think there's aright or wrong response. It was just
yeah. So anyway, he's describingwhat happened as Trinity, which was the
test bomb out of uh not LosAlamos, that's where they did the actual
creation. But I'm a godora orI'm a door door. Yeah, you
(02:59):
know, hey, mister grated namesbuggeru buy Yeah, I'm a Gordora.
Is that it? Okay? No, I'm not gonna do sirih on that
one. All right? Uh?Good morning, Hey, Amy, Hi,
Bill, Hi, we start theday. Uh cono, good morning,
(03:19):
Good morning Bill, and and goodmorning to you. Good morning Bill
and Neil sir, Good morning,Yeah, the Neil meister. Yes,
all right. Uh what do wehave on the table? Oh, I
don't know. A bunch of newslast night? I want to I want
to pull that uh that sound.Because they had Das there speaking at the
(03:46):
convention. Every day American, yeah, yeah, everyday Americans people who I
had been victimized by illegal aliens,you know, kids killed, fentanyl moms,
I mean mom, yeah, reallyreally, And then there was this
African American woman who talked about basicallyhow horrible the Biden administration was, because
(04:08):
that was what it was all about, and she was talking about her son,
heartbreaking. An Iraqi veteran was incombat and Iraq was not injured,
comes back to the United States andis stabbed to death in New York on
the street and it was an illegalalien who in fact stabbed him. Proof
positive that illegal aliens or rapists andall of that and she was frothing at
(04:31):
the mouth, she was screaming soloudly. I mean, it was just
extraordinary to see. Yeah, shewas on fire. Yeah, she was
very impassionate. Well, no,beyond impassion Well, you can't blame her.
Well, it's a lot of it. They chose for the dramatic effect.
I mean, obviously politics polish.And then Ted Cruz went out of
(04:56):
his mind. Ted Cruz basically said, effectively, ever, every crime in
America is committed by an illegal alien, and he picked up a couple of
crimes where an illegal alien had beenreleased, had said, and Biden had
him released. Okay, Biden calledup and said, release this guy.
(05:17):
One had been deported five times andhe committed this horrific murder up in San
Francisco. And he went over threeor four examples over five years. They
I just don't understand. I mean, it's just over five years. You
mean outside of the Biden administration.Yes, yes, because the illegal aliens.
(05:40):
I know, it's completely insane.And Trump is for the working man
and against big business and the elites, and he is on your side.
Wait a minute, you know thecorporations got insane tax breaks. That's why
The business people are also fundamentally proTrump because they know they're going to do
(06:02):
great. Just it's what's up,what is down? What's black is white,
what's round is square? I mean, it's just uh and I understand
a lot of that is drama,and boy, you talk about drama.
Ooh. The other thing Trump wasthere, of course, is the only
president ever there has a presidential blocksin at the convention hall because usually the
(06:26):
nominees come in at the very lastand they give their speech. That's the
first time you see them, andthey get the accolades. We had Nikki
Hayley, Ted Cruz, these RonDeSantis who called him all kinds of names
during the primary, and he hadto be there as they stood up there
endorsed him and bent the knee andkissed the ring. You he had to
(06:47):
see that. Did it remind youof Amy Kno, Me and Ann every
morning? You have to come inhere with our nose plugs. Absolutely?
One point bilt one hundred excellent,excellent job. You're really good at your
job. Bill. See that's exactlycorrect. That's exactly correct. Okay,
(07:08):
guys, let's do it. Oh, we've got tons and tons to cover.
It's a handle on the news onthis hump day, July seventeenth,
Amy, Yeah, Neil, Yeah, and me yeah, Sorry, Biden.
I just don't know where if today'sthe day, I just don't know.
(07:30):
Read story of all the endorsers lastnight, Republican endorsers of the president,
and as I just said, hisopponents during the primaries were all up
there, standing up and just kissingthe ring. Nikki Haley was the only
(07:51):
one that said you can have differenceswith the president with Donald Trump and still
endorsed him. She got booed forthat. I thought her honesty was nice.
I thought it was terrific. Well, I'm a big fan of Nikki
Haley. I would have voted forNicki Haley in a heartbeat running against Joe
(08:13):
Biden. I mean, I thinkshe's just terrific. And I mean,
and she that part of it wasbooed. If you disagree with Donald Trump
in the Republican Party, you area trader, and you are a trader
to the Constitution. I mean,it is nuts. And the commentator said
(08:35):
that the Republican Party has it hasbeen totally changed, it has been reinvented
in the image of Donald Trump,and it's absolutely true. I mean what
his achievement was is what he's beenable to do is simply extraordinary. All
right, do one more before Andby the way, she endorsed him.
Yeah, she made a strong endorsement. Yeah, well yeah, okay,
(08:58):
so she said, I know,but yeah, yeah, okay, you
know else endorsed the Mitch McConnell andwent on stage and was booed off the
stage. Basically, what did youthink of Sarah Huckey b Sanders? Did
you watch her? Yeah? Idid. I thought she was good.
Yeah she was, but accolades afteraccolades, and you know, I'm a
mom and Joe Biden wants to killall moms and Donald Trump. Okay,
(09:22):
she did not say that he wantsto kill all very close, very close.
Okay, let's take a break,all right, Okay, we'll come
back. And yeah, he waspretty sick a fantic, didn't you think,
Amy, Well, it's supposed tobe. And when we watch the
Democratic National Convention, it's going tobe exactly the same. I don't know
(09:43):
if it's going to be as strong. That's that's we'll see. He goes
and talks for Biden. I'll tellyou, I'll tell you why because Biden
does not control the Democratic Party,because there's too many that are saying he's
got to get out because he's fallingapart. You are not going to see
you to see that at the convention. I think you're going. You're not
going to see the con I wasjust talking to the President who is solving
(10:07):
multiple Rubik's cubes in the back.Yeah and all right, just like Billy
Joel Elon Musk says I'm moving out. The billionaire says he's moving the headquarters
of SpaceX and X to Texas fromCalifornia. He says the last straw was
the new law signed by Governor Newsomon Monday that Barr's school districts from requiring
(10:33):
staff to notify parents if their kidsstart identifying as transgender at school. Notice
how more conservative Musk is getting bythe day. He's getting mighty. He's
become a political figure, almost moreso than a business person. Uh yeah,
for example, endorsing Trump as thebullet was going past his ear right
(10:56):
by the time the bullet left andhit the part of the stands or went
into comparatory that firefighter, I don'tthink it was the same bullet. He
endorses Trump and then was it yesterdayforty five billion dollars a month and so
oh yeah, forty five million dollarsa month until the election for a pack
(11:16):
endorsing Trump. And so he's Ibelieve him, he's getting more conservative and
he wants out. Now we're talkingabout the headquarters. The manufacturing plant is
still in Fremont because that's kind ofhard to move an auto plant, and
SpaceX in Hawthorne, the manufacturing plantof the rockets arse is still in Hawthorne,
(11:41):
but headquarters are gone. Boeing didthat out of Washington and went to
Chicago. People want out, theywent out all space xes or in Texas.
That's very good. And you know, at the and when you talk
about, for example, the Gavinthe Newsom administration, Gavin Newsom administration,
(12:05):
we talk about the corporations leaving andhe says there are more companies that are
created and coming into California that areleaving. Okay, that's probably absolutely true.
And you know why, because you'vegot companies with a thousand employees that
are leaving, and you've got aguy who sets up a corporation because he's
come up with an idea that he'sgoing to be in his garage with one
(12:28):
employee, one and he's borrowed fivethousand dollars from his mother in law to
start the company. That's a newcompany that has been started in California.
And the company with a thousand employeesthat is leaving California. It breaks even.
It's one for one in the newsomeworld. All right, All right.
(12:50):
Ohio police officers who were in Milwaukeeto help with security there at the
Republican National Convention actually had to shootand kill a man yesterday who local authorities
said had knives in both hands andwas trying to attack another man. Yeah.
This had nothing to do with theconvention at first. Now, Yeah,
so they shoot him, they killthem. So you don't take you
(13:13):
don't take a knife and go towardscops or towards someone in front of cops,
especially two knives one in each hand. It get killed. Yeah,
and that's what happened. Bad businessturned deadly in Bangkok. Six people,
including two US citizens, were founddead inside a luxury hotel room in central
(13:37):
Bangkok. It happened at the fivestar Grand Hyatt Arawan and the Thai Capitol.
The group was found in a suiteon the fifth floor. They likely
drank from tea and coffee cups thatwere laced with cyanide. Why because of
a fight over bad investments. Althoughthey're not saying what the you know,
(14:00):
who instigated the fight? They don'treally know, but cops saw what is
it? Police saw I used coffeecups or cups with traces of white powder.
I have stayed in this hotel bythe way, and I think I
know where it is as well inBangkok. I have stayed there and I'll
tell you one thing. The takeawayhere is don't put sweet and low in
(14:20):
your coffee. That is not agood idea. Where does one come across
Sinaid? Like? What do youget? You know? I don't know.
Is it the cyanide aisle at Walmart? I don't know cedars cyanide?
That's very strong? No, okay, no, that's good, all right?
Scott h suck a g in.He's the He's the guy we saw
(14:43):
slapping that autistic boy Indian what he'san Indian woman who had no oh,
but he slept that autistic boy,who I believe is homeless with his family,
maybe living in a car in Pakoima, And now he faces criminal charges,
which is good. And if youremember the story kid, the boy
(15:05):
was walking across the crosswalk I believe, in the street with his sister and
he like shiny things are certain thingsstand out to him and he touched the
ornament or the hood ornament, andthe guy did a U turn, came
to the bus stop and slapped thekid. Even when she's saying, hey,
he's got issue, stops his car, goes out and slaps him.
(15:28):
Right what a guy? Huh?Well, willfuel cruelty to a child?
Battery? I mean, I hopehe goes away for a while. LA
County lawyers are helping vulnerable renters keepa roof over their heads. The La
County lawmakers have moved forward with theplan to give free eviction attorneys to renters,
(15:50):
so it would guarantee that anyone whois a low income renter has a
right to an attorney if they haveto go to a eviction court. Official
say, almost fifty thousand renters getaviction notices each year and only about three
percent have legal representation. I'm doingthis at seven point thirty because there is
a world to this. One manoh Man Supreme Court decision by nineteen sixty
(16:14):
eight. What's going on now,the definition of a fundamental right, minorities,
Hispanic and the Blacks being nailed themost in terms of these evictions.
So that's coming up at seven thirty. That is going to be a topic.
Okay, the home run derby NationalAnthem singer Ingrid Andres. She if
(16:36):
you remember, she's the one whodid that horrible cackling version that we listened
to yesterday. Oh wait, andif you don't remember, of the half
(17:00):
of that were booze right, Yeah, I think that there was stunned applause
or whatever. Yeah, a littlepitchy dog. I'm gonna have to say,
no, no, where is RandyJackson? It was it was rough,
And you know she's a four timeGrammy nominee, not for that one.
No, so she is? Sheput out on social media. She
(17:23):
says, Hey, reality is Iwas drunk and I'm going to check myself
into a rehab. Yeah, that'sbelievable. I've never seen her perform.
She did look odd. I've onlyheard of it. Yeah, I have
only heard, you know, recordingsof her. But you know she's got
issues. Good for her. Shealso apologized to the UH to Major League
(17:48):
Baseball, the fans, and shesaid the country I love so much.
She's basically saying this was not meand she didn't mean to slaughter the song
like she did. Did you giveher a pass on that one? Amy?
If she goes into rehab? Okay, Neil, do you give her
a pass? Yeah, if she'sgoing to go into rehab. And but
I mean, you didn't hurt anybody. And the country music lifestyle is like,
yeah, you know what I mean, drunk a lot of drink,
(18:08):
Yeah I know, and all youknow, and the songs our dog probably
died and my daughter, my shotgunmisfired. And my question is who let
her go out there? You know, she had our record reps there,
her manager, her publicist. Theydo do they have a backup? I
mean, what happened that day orsomething. I think they just I think
(18:30):
they just play a recording of themusic. I mean that's all they would
do. All right, We're goingto take a break and come back and
try to sing the national anthem toeach other. My best day, I
wouldn't be as good as she was. She can't carry a tune in a
dump truck. All right. It'snot all kumbaya. There's a little bad
(18:52):
blood on the floor of the rn C. Who is it between Republican
Matt Gates Florida and former House SpeakerKevin McCarthy. So apparently Gates went up
to McCarthy yesterday and said, whatnight are you speaking? Are you speaking
tonight? If you took that stage, you'd get booed off of Ito.
(19:14):
Fight fight fight, fight fight.They hate each other and even publicly well,
Gates introduced the motion to throw McCarthyoff the speakership because he had agreed
and cut a deal with Joe Bidenregarding Ukraine, and he got thrown off
for that. So now you haveMike Johnson who comes into the speakership who
cuts the same deal with Joe Biden. And that was even though it was
(19:41):
an introduction to throw them off,no one wanted to touch it. That
was it. We're done. Onetime is enough read on red crime?
Yeah? Yeah. McCarthy's out ofBakersfield too, by the way, is
he really Yeah? Yep, yep, all right. Democratic Senator Bob Menendez
found guilty in all counts and federalcorruption trial. He is, They're out
(20:03):
of Jersey. But gold bars,mortgage payments, cash, bribes, everything,
Yeah, and he said that's all. He explained away the gold bars
and the cash. He said,I brought I carried that for emergencies if
I needed it. Half a milliondollars, by the way worth a cash,
not counting the gold bars. Andhe's trying to explain it away,
(20:26):
and he's doubling down gold bars.Man, when you're being bribed with gold
bars, I know, I knowthat's gonna be hard to kind of.
Yeah, And he added the jury'sdecision about he got nailed for being a
foreign agent on behalf of Egypt withoutregistering, and you can't do that when
(20:47):
you're a senator anyway, the jury'sdecision would put at risk every member of
the Senate in terms of what theythink a foreign agent would be. No,
the rules are pretty good, Imean, the rules are pretty specific
about what you do and can't do. Menandez is like delusional, I mean
he is. He's truly delusional.He's exhausted, he's carrying around gold bars
(21:07):
and this in case of an emergency, right, and he's being asked to
resign from the Senate. He won'tdo it. He won't do it.
And is he is he a forelection? Amy? He is he is,
So there isn't going to be animpeachment hearing in a trial by the
Senate. It's just a waste oftime or not an impeachment removal by the
Senate. It is a removal,is a motion to remove. I think
(21:30):
there's a trial and then he canbe expelled from the Senate. No one's
going to bother because he's out infour months anyway. And they threw him
off of all the committees. Idon't think he's sitting on any committee either.
So he's just sitting there in aroom by himself. Yeah, pretty
much, he's on detention. Ifyou want to prepare for the zombie apocalypse,
(21:51):
you can for eighty bucks at Costco. The retailer is offering an emergency
kit in a bucket. It providesone hundred and fifty freezed ride food servings
with a shelf life of twenty fiveyears. On sale for seventy nine to
ninety nine, although some Costco locationsare offering it for less build Have you
found it yet? No, Well, we're looking here and came up with
this idea and I think it's brilliant. You and I are going to do
(22:14):
it. Neil on a foody Fridayand sample it. We are going to
sample this food. We are goingto actually do taste tests. We want
to do this the freeze dried costcofood at MRI on MRI. Yeah,
MRI, right, I get thetwo confused. I always conflate to MRI
or those military meals also known asmeals rejected by Ethiopians when they first come
(22:41):
out classy. By the way,they are thirty five hundred. We are
going to try one of those andthen try it, and then I'll bring
in the stuff that I have andit will blow your mind. Okay,
we'll do that. And I wantto bring in on a taste test one
of those fresh high end dog foodsthat are human grade dog foods, you
(23:02):
know fresh turkey, fresh, youknow pork. There's a pork and apple
one and I feed the dogs pork. I won't even tell you what part
of the pork that they use.Does that me cooked? Yes, yeah,
it's all fully cooked. It's basicallyit's human grade. They're saying people
can eat it. You know what, We're going to try it. Producer
(23:23):
Michelle just texted me. She saidshe's not sure why this is making news
because they've had this for a while. I don't know, and Michelle has
this in her home, but Iwant to do a taste test because I
am that rice. Also, I'dlike to bring in astronaut food too.
Their freeze tried ice freeze, driedice. Oh yeah, I remember these
to sell those. Yes, stillbuys, Still do I think at the
(23:45):
Science Museum? Yeah, I thinkthey do. Isn't it called dippin' dots?
No, those are disgusting A littledifferent, No they're not. Oh
they're horrible dippin' dots. Come on, they're horrible, and they have little
little keys things in the store.Yeah, I know they're got awful,
got awful. I am a godawful, But that doesn't make the name
(24:06):
you're less god off. You're adipping dot. I am not a dipping
DoD dipping dot. Jack Black's comedyrock band who I loved for a long
time, Tenacious D, canceled it'sremaining tour dates after band member Kyle Gass
sparked a backlash. He did thisapparent joke about Saturday's assassination attempt on former
(24:30):
US President Donald Trump. He itwas his birthday. They brought out a
birthday cake. He said, makea wish. This was in Australia,
I believe, and he said,I wish or don't miss Trump next time.
Right, So the backlash band's beencanceled, the concerts are all canceled.
He apologized. His agent dropped him. I just you know what point,
(24:52):
so he shouldn't shouldn't have said that. Yeah, bad taste, horrific,
he apologized. Okay, now let'sdeport him, let's cancel all.
Uh. You know, the biggestproblem is this is what it is.
Jack Black is obvious, the moreimportant of the two and the bigger known
as far as an entertainer. JackBlack, three weeks earlier, was at
(25:17):
that big fundraiser and spoke on stagefor Biden. You know, so then
you have Biden coming out saying,hey, we've got to cut down this
rhetoric, this heated rhetoric, thisugly rhetoric, and then you have somebody
who was on stage for the president. It just is bad. He said
he was blindsided. He had noidea. I get it, you know,
(25:41):
I believe that I get it,and and I believe they're truly sorry
for saying it. It was stupid. All that. I don't want anybody
canceled. I don't believe in anyof that stuff, but it was,
you know, pretty tect got alot of groping going on in Japan.
One in ten young people say thatbeen groped on trains and other public places,
(26:02):
mainly trains because that's how everybody getsaround. So it's called chickan in
Japan, which is touching or gropingwithout consent. And they did a poll
of like thirty six thousand people andmore than ten percent said, yep,
I've been grouped in public. Hey, siri, how do you say goose
in Japanese? So people have beengot y'all? No, I think I
(26:34):
think chickan as the Yeah, un, let's say the Japanese commit a lot
of frontage. What if that?Look it up? Look up fraudig No,
you're making me nervous. Look itup. I don't want to start
getting like. I'm just telling youanimal pop worn telling you because you can
me look up something that is torub against someone with your clothes on,
(26:57):
like on subways, why do yourub them sexually? That's committing frontage.
You're gonna ask that on Jeopardy yieldfigure out the answer, Okay, And
I like how it says the vastmajority are women who get goots. Yeah,
okay, all right, that beloved. In the US, you have
(27:19):
Trader Joe's Everything bagel seasoning. Everyoneloves it. But bring it to South
Korea and you will get arrested becauseit is illegal. Well, listen to
this. Here's here's the ingredients,salt, minced garlic, sesame seeds,
and poppy seeds. That is thepoppy seeds that are not allowed. And
(27:42):
so they're saying it's illegal. Bythe way, I don't buy that at
all. It was Trader Joe's tryingto rename, or it was it was
South Korea saying you're changing the nameto Trader Kims, and Trader Joe said
no. And that's why you thinkthat's at the that's at the base out
in trouble therely retaliation. Yes,wow, yep, man, this is
(28:04):
like the Joe Rogan experience. Youreally dig deep. Alex off the hook
now Hannah wants off too. Anattorney for convicted movie armorer Hannah Gutierra's Reid
has filed emotion. She wants eithera new trial or to have the case
(28:26):
thrown out. As you'll recall,Alec Baldwin's case involving the death of Helena
Hutchinson on set of rust was dismissed. And it was dismissed because the judge
said, hey, you withheld evidence. Yep. And so now Hannah Gutierras
reads attorneys are basically saying the samething. Yeah, she's gonna go,
she's gonna walk. You think yep, I think so, I think so.
(28:49):
It's egregious prosecutorial misconduct the entire case. The prosecutors did that. This
was a case in which somebody whois her I think knows her stepdad who's
an armorer, also went to theprosecution and said, here are some bullets
that I think relate to the casethat could have an influence on the case.
(29:11):
They never brought it to the theynever gave it to the defense,
which they have to do. Andthey took those bullets, which by the
way, look exactly the same asthe bullets that were used to that were
mistakenly shot, that were used inthe shooting, and the prosecutor not only
didn't turn it in, they wentahead and introduced that in another case and
(29:36):
with a different evidence number. Youcan't do that anything that has to do
with the investigation that might exonerate Ethny. Exculpatory evidence has to be brought to
the defense, and they didn't doit. Yeah, they just it was
the case. I mean, theprosecution. You screwed the pooch on this
one. I know how much youlove first. Yeah, I love Flakers

(01:49):
god the baita there it is bugof a gita there, yeah, you
know, and from Vishnu saying somethingabout I am I am Death, the
destroyer of worlds. And that iswhat he came up with. You know,
while the bomb went off. Ofcourse, other scientists went, wow,
(02:15):
look at that. It's different.Yeah, different people react differently to
different things. Yeah. Some laughedby the way in Glee because they were
able to what they did was soextraordinary, you know when you have a
huge success. Others were completely silent, realizing changed the world. Yeah,
(02:38):
would And I don't think there's aright or wrong response. It was just
yeah. So anyway, he's describingwhat happened as Trinity, which was the
test bomb out of uh not LosAlamos, that's where they did the actual
creation. But I'm a godora orI'm a door door. Yeah, you
(02:59):
know, hey, mister grated namesbuggeru buy Yeah, I'm a Gordora.
Is that it? Okay? No, I'm not gonna do sirih on that
one. All right? Uh?Good morning, Hey, Amy, Hi,
Bill, Hi, we start theday. Uh cono, good morning,
(03:19):
Good morning Bill, and and goodmorning to you. Good morning Bill
and Neil sir, Good morning,Yeah, the Neil meister. Yes,
all right. Uh what do wehave on the table? Oh, I
don't know. A bunch of newslast night? I want to I want
to pull that uh that sound.Because they had Das there speaking at the
(03:46):
convention. Every day American, yeah, yeah, everyday Americans people who I
had been victimized by illegal aliens,you know, kids killed, fentanyl moms,
I mean mom, yeah, reallyreally, And then there was this
African American woman who talked about basicallyhow horrible the Biden administration was, because
(04:08):
that was what it was all about, and she was talking about her son,
heartbreaking. An Iraqi veteran was incombat and Iraq was not injured,
comes back to the United States andis stabbed to death in New York on
the street and it was an illegalalien who in fact stabbed him. Proof
positive that illegal aliens or rapists andall of that and she was frothing at
(04:31):
the mouth, she was screaming soloudly. I mean, it was just
extraordinary to see. Yeah, shewas on fire. Yeah, she was
very impassionate. Well, no,beyond impassion Well, you can't blame her.
Well, it's a lot of it. They chose for the dramatic effect.
I mean, obviously politics polish.And then Ted Cruz went out of
(04:56):
his mind. Ted Cruz basically said, effectively, ever, every crime in
America is committed by an illegal alien, and he picked up a couple of
crimes where an illegal alien had beenreleased, had said, and Biden had
him released. Okay, Biden calledup and said, release this guy.
(05:17):
One had been deported five times andhe committed this horrific murder up in San
Francisco. And he went over threeor four examples over five years. They
I just don't understand. I mean, it's just over five years. You
mean outside of the Biden administration.Yes, yes, because the illegal aliens.
(05:40):
I know, it's completely insane.And Trump is for the working man
and against big business and the elites, and he is on your side.
Wait a minute, you know thecorporations got insane tax breaks. That's why
The business people are also fundamentally proTrump because they know they're going to do
(06:02):
great. Just it's what's up,what is down? What's black is white,
what's round is square? I mean, it's just uh and I understand
a lot of that is drama,and boy, you talk about drama.
Ooh. The other thing Trump wasthere, of course, is the only
president ever there has a presidential blocksin at the convention hall because usually the
(06:26):
nominees come in at the very lastand they give their speech. That's the
first time you see them, andthey get the accolades. We had Nikki
Hayley, Ted Cruz, these RonDeSantis who called him all kinds of names
during the primary, and he hadto be there as they stood up there
endorsed him and bent the knee andkissed the ring. You he had to
(06:47):
see that. Did it remind youof Amy Kno, Me and Ann every
morning? You have to come inhere with our nose plugs. Absolutely?
One point bilt one hundred excellent,excellent job. You're really good at your
job. Bill. See that's exactlycorrect. That's exactly correct. Okay,
(07:08):
guys, let's do it. Oh, we've got tons and tons to cover.
It's a handle on the news onthis hump day, July seventeenth,
Amy, Yeah, Neil, Yeah, and me yeah, Sorry, Biden.
I just don't know where if today'sthe day, I just don't know.
(07:30):
Read story of all the endorsers lastnight, Republican endorsers of the president,
and as I just said, hisopponents during the primaries were all up
there, standing up and just kissingthe ring. Nikki Haley was the only
(07:51):
one that said you can have differenceswith the president with Donald Trump and still
endorsed him. She got booed forthat. I thought her honesty was nice.
I thought it was terrific. Well, I'm a big fan of Nikki
Haley. I would have voted forNicki Haley in a heartbeat running against Joe
(08:13):
Biden. I mean, I thinkshe's just terrific. And I mean,
and she that part of it wasbooed. If you disagree with Donald Trump
in the Republican Party, you area trader, and you are a trader
to the Constitution. I mean,it is nuts. And the commentator said
(08:35):
that the Republican Party has it hasbeen totally changed, it has been reinvented
in the image of Donald Trump,and it's absolutely true. I mean what
his achievement was is what he's beenable to do is simply extraordinary. All
right, do one more before Andby the way, she endorsed him.
Yeah, she made a strong endorsement. Yeah, well yeah, okay,
(08:58):
so she said, I know,but yeah, yeah, okay, you
know else endorsed the Mitch McConnell andwent on stage and was booed off the
stage. Basically, what did youthink of Sarah Huckey b Sanders? Did
you watch her? Yeah? Idid. I thought she was good.
Yeah she was, but accolades afteraccolades, and you know, I'm a
mom and Joe Biden wants to killall moms and Donald Trump. Okay,
(09:22):
she did not say that he wantsto kill all very close, very close.
Okay, let's take a break,all right, Okay, we'll come
back. And yeah, he waspretty sick a fantic, didn't you think,
Amy, Well, it's supposed tobe. And when we watch the
Democratic National Convention, it's going tobe exactly the same. I don't know
(09:43):
if it's going to be as strong. That's that's we'll see. He goes
and talks for Biden. I'll tellyou, I'll tell you why because Biden
does not control the Democratic Party,because there's too many that are saying he's
got to get out because he's fallingapart. You are not going to see
you to see that at the convention. I think you're going. You're not
going to see the con I wasjust talking to the President who is solving
(10:07):
multiple Rubik's cubes in the back.Yeah and all right, just like Billy
Joel Elon Musk says I'm moving out. The billionaire says he's moving the headquarters
of SpaceX and X to Texas fromCalifornia. He says the last straw was
the new law signed by Governor Newsomon Monday that Barr's school districts from requiring
(10:33):
staff to notify parents if their kidsstart identifying as transgender at school. Notice
how more conservative Musk is getting bythe day. He's getting mighty. He's
become a political figure, almost moreso than a business person. Uh yeah,
for example, endorsing Trump as thebullet was going past his ear right
(10:56):
by the time the bullet left andhit the part of the stands or went
into comparatory that firefighter, I don'tthink it was the same bullet. He
endorses Trump and then was it yesterdayforty five billion dollars a month and so
oh yeah, forty five million dollarsa month until the election for a pack
(11:16):
endorsing Trump. And so he's Ibelieve him, he's getting more conservative and
he wants out. Now we're talkingabout the headquarters. The manufacturing plant is
still in Fremont because that's kind ofhard to move an auto plant, and
SpaceX in Hawthorne, the manufacturing plantof the rockets arse is still in Hawthorne,
(11:41):
but headquarters are gone. Boeing didthat out of Washington and went to
Chicago. People want out, theywent out all space xes or in Texas.
That's very good. And you know, at the and when you talk
about, for example, the Gavinthe Newsom administration, Gavin Newsom administration,
(12:05):
we talk about the corporations leaving andhe says there are more companies that are
created and coming into California that areleaving. Okay, that's probably absolutely true.
And you know why, because you'vegot companies with a thousand employees that
are leaving, and you've got aguy who sets up a corporation because he's
come up with an idea that he'sgoing to be in his garage with one
(12:28):
employee, one and he's borrowed fivethousand dollars from his mother in law to
start the company. That's a newcompany that has been started in California.
And the company with a thousand employeesthat is leaving California. It breaks even.
It's one for one in the newsomeworld. All right, All right.
(12:50):
Ohio police officers who were in Milwaukeeto help with security there at the
Republican National Convention actually had to shootand kill a man yesterday who local authorities
said had knives in both hands andwas trying to attack another man. Yeah.
This had nothing to do with theconvention at first. Now, Yeah,
so they shoot him, they killthem. So you don't take you
(13:13):
don't take a knife and go towardscops or towards someone in front of cops,
especially two knives one in each hand. It get killed. Yeah,
and that's what happened. Bad businessturned deadly in Bangkok. Six people,
including two US citizens, were founddead inside a luxury hotel room in central
(13:37):
Bangkok. It happened at the fivestar Grand Hyatt Arawan and the Thai Capitol.
The group was found in a suiteon the fifth floor. They likely
drank from tea and coffee cups thatwere laced with cyanide. Why because of
a fight over bad investments. Althoughthey're not saying what the you know,
(14:00):
who instigated the fight? They don'treally know, but cops saw what is
it? Police saw I used coffeecups or cups with traces of white powder.
I have stayed in this hotel bythe way, and I think I
know where it is as well inBangkok. I have stayed there and I'll
tell you one thing. The takeawayhere is don't put sweet and low in
(14:20):
your coffee. That is not agood idea. Where does one come across
Sinaid? Like? What do youget? You know? I don't know.
Is it the cyanide aisle at Walmart? I don't know cedars cyanide?
That's very strong? No, okay, no, that's good, all right?
Scott h suck a g in.He's the He's the guy we saw
(14:43):
slapping that autistic boy Indian what he'san Indian woman who had no oh,
but he slept that autistic boy,who I believe is homeless with his family,
maybe living in a car in Pakoima, And now he faces criminal charges,
which is good. And if youremember the story kid, the boy
(15:05):
was walking across the crosswalk I believe, in the street with his sister and
he like shiny things are certain thingsstand out to him and he touched the
ornament or the hood ornament, andthe guy did a U turn, came
to the bus stop and slapped thekid. Even when she's saying, hey,
he's got issue, stops his car, goes out and slaps him.
(15:28):
Right what a guy? Huh?Well, willfuel cruelty to a child?
Battery? I mean, I hopehe goes away for a while. LA
County lawyers are helping vulnerable renters keepa roof over their heads. The La
County lawmakers have moved forward with theplan to give free eviction attorneys to renters,
(15:50):
so it would guarantee that anyone whois a low income renter has a
right to an attorney if they haveto go to a eviction court. Official
say, almost fifty thousand renters getaviction notices each year and only about three
percent have legal representation. I'm doingthis at seven point thirty because there is
a world to this. One manoh Man Supreme Court decision by nineteen sixty
(16:14):
eight. What's going on now,the definition of a fundamental right, minorities,
Hispanic and the Blacks being nailed themost in terms of these evictions.
So that's coming up at seven thirty. That is going to be a topic.
Okay, the home run derby NationalAnthem singer Ingrid Andres. She if
(16:36):
you remember, she's the one whodid that horrible cackling version that we listened
to yesterday. Oh wait, andif you don't remember, of the half
(17:00):
of that were booze right, Yeah, I think that there was stunned applause
or whatever. Yeah, a littlepitchy dog. I'm gonna have to say,
no, no, where is RandyJackson? It was it was rough,
And you know she's a four timeGrammy nominee, not for that one.
No, so she is? Sheput out on social media. She
(17:23):
says, Hey, reality is Iwas drunk and I'm going to check myself
into a rehab. Yeah, that'sbelievable. I've never seen her perform.
She did look odd. I've onlyheard of it. Yeah, I have
only heard, you know, recordingsof her. But you know she's got
issues. Good for her. Shealso apologized to the UH to Major League
(17:48):
Baseball, the fans, and shesaid the country I love so much.
She's basically saying this was not meand she didn't mean to slaughter the song
like she did. Did you giveher a pass on that one? Amy?
If she goes into rehab? Okay, Neil, do you give her
a pass? Yeah, if she'sgoing to go into rehab. And but
I mean, you didn't hurt anybody. And the country music lifestyle is like,
yeah, you know what I mean, drunk a lot of drink,
(18:08):
Yeah I know, and all youknow, and the songs our dog probably
died and my daughter, my shotgunmisfired. And my question is who let
her go out there? You know, she had our record reps there,
her manager, her publicist. Theydo do they have a backup? I
mean, what happened that day orsomething. I think they just I think
(18:30):
they just play a recording of themusic. I mean that's all they would
do. All right, We're goingto take a break and come back and
try to sing the national anthem toeach other. My best day, I
wouldn't be as good as she was. She can't carry a tune in a
dump truck. All right. It'snot all kumbaya. There's a little bad
(18:52):
blood on the floor of the rn C. Who is it between Republican
Matt Gates Florida and former House SpeakerKevin McCarthy. So apparently Gates went up
to McCarthy yesterday and said, whatnight are you speaking? Are you speaking
tonight? If you took that stage, you'd get booed off of Ito.
(19:14):
Fight fight fight, fight fight.They hate each other and even publicly well,
Gates introduced the motion to throw McCarthyoff the speakership because he had agreed
and cut a deal with Joe Bidenregarding Ukraine, and he got thrown off
for that. So now you haveMike Johnson who comes into the speakership who
cuts the same deal with Joe Biden. And that was even though it was
(19:41):
an introduction to throw them off,no one wanted to touch it. That
was it. We're done. Onetime is enough read on red crime?
Yeah? Yeah. McCarthy's out ofBakersfield too, by the way, is
he really Yeah? Yep, yep, all right. Democratic Senator Bob Menendez
found guilty in all counts and federalcorruption trial. He is, They're out
(20:03):
of Jersey. But gold bars,mortgage payments, cash, bribes, everything,
Yeah, and he said that's all. He explained away the gold bars
and the cash. He said,I brought I carried that for emergencies if
I needed it. Half a milliondollars, by the way worth a cash,
not counting the gold bars. Andhe's trying to explain it away,
(20:26):
and he's doubling down gold bars.Man, when you're being bribed with gold
bars, I know, I knowthat's gonna be hard to kind of.
Yeah, And he added the jury'sdecision about he got nailed for being a
foreign agent on behalf of Egypt withoutregistering, and you can't do that when
(20:47):
you're a senator anyway, the jury'sdecision would put at risk every member of
the Senate in terms of what theythink a foreign agent would be. No,
the rules are pretty good, Imean, the rules are pretty specific
about what you do and can't do. Menandez is like delusional, I mean
he is. He's truly delusional.He's exhausted, he's carrying around gold bars
(21:07):
and this in case of an emergency, right, and he's being asked to
resign from the Senate. He won'tdo it. He won't do it.
And is he is he a forelection? Amy? He is he is,
So there isn't going to be animpeachment hearing in a trial by the
Senate. It's just a waste oftime or not an impeachment removal by the
Senate. It is a removal,is a motion to remove. I think
(21:30):
there's a trial and then he canbe expelled from the Senate. No one's
going to bother because he's out infour months anyway. And they threw him
off of all the committees. Idon't think he's sitting on any committee either.
So he's just sitting there in aroom by himself. Yeah, pretty
much, he's on detention. Ifyou want to prepare for the zombie apocalypse,
(21:51):
you can for eighty bucks at Costco. The retailer is offering an emergency
kit in a bucket. It providesone hundred and fifty freezed ride food servings
with a shelf life of twenty fiveyears. On sale for seventy nine to
ninety nine, although some Costco locationsare offering it for less build Have you
found it yet? No, Well, we're looking here and came up with
this idea and I think it's brilliant. You and I are going to do
(22:14):
it. Neil on a foody Fridayand sample it. We are going to
sample this food. We are goingto actually do taste tests. We want
to do this the freeze dried costcofood at MRI on MRI. Yeah,
MRI, right, I get thetwo confused. I always conflate to MRI
or those military meals also known asmeals rejected by Ethiopians when they first come
(22:41):
out classy. By the way,they are thirty five hundred. We are
going to try one of those andthen try it, and then I'll bring
in the stuff that I have andit will blow your mind. Okay,
we'll do that. And I wantto bring in on a taste test one
of those fresh high end dog foodsthat are human grade dog foods, you
(23:02):
know fresh turkey, fresh, youknow pork. There's a pork and apple
one and I feed the dogs pork. I won't even tell you what part
of the pork that they use.Does that me cooked? Yes, yeah,
it's all fully cooked. It's basicallyit's human grade. They're saying people
can eat it. You know what, We're going to try it. Producer
(23:23):
Michelle just texted me. She saidshe's not sure why this is making news
because they've had this for a while. I don't know, and Michelle has
this in her home, but Iwant to do a taste test because I
am that rice. Also, I'dlike to bring in astronaut food too.
Their freeze tried ice freeze, driedice. Oh yeah, I remember these
to sell those. Yes, stillbuys, Still do I think at the
(23:45):
Science Museum? Yeah, I thinkthey do. Isn't it called dippin' dots?
No, those are disgusting A littledifferent, No they're not. Oh
they're horrible dippin' dots. Come on, they're horrible, and they have little
little keys things in the store.Yeah, I know they're got awful,
got awful. I am a godawful, But that doesn't make the name
(24:06):
you're less god off. You're adipping dot. I am not a dipping
DoD dipping dot. Jack Black's comedyrock band who I loved for a long
time, Tenacious D, canceled it'sremaining tour dates after band member Kyle Gass
sparked a backlash. He did thisapparent joke about Saturday's assassination attempt on former
(24:30):
US President Donald Trump. He itwas his birthday. They brought out a
birthday cake. He said, makea wish. This was in Australia,
I believe, and he said,I wish or don't miss Trump next time.
Right, So the backlash band's beencanceled, the concerts are all canceled.
He apologized. His agent dropped him. I just you know what point,
(24:52):
so he shouldn't shouldn't have said that. Yeah, bad taste, horrific,
he apologized. Okay, now let'sdeport him, let's cancel all.
Uh. You know, the biggestproblem is this is what it is.
Jack Black is obvious, the moreimportant of the two and the bigger known
as far as an entertainer. JackBlack, three weeks earlier, was at
(25:17):
that big fundraiser and spoke on stagefor Biden. You know, so then
you have Biden coming out saying,hey, we've got to cut down this
rhetoric, this heated rhetoric, thisugly rhetoric, and then you have somebody
who was on stage for the president. It just is bad. He said
he was blindsided. He had noidea. I get it, you know,
(25:41):
I believe that I get it,and and I believe they're truly sorry
for saying it. It was stupid. All that. I don't want anybody
canceled. I don't believe in anyof that stuff, but it was,
you know, pretty tect got alot of groping going on in Japan.
One in ten young people say thatbeen groped on trains and other public places,
(26:02):
mainly trains because that's how everybody getsaround. So it's called chickan in
Japan, which is touching or gropingwithout consent. And they did a poll
of like thirty six thousand people andmore than ten percent said, yep,
I've been grouped in public. Hey, siri, how do you say goose
in Japanese? So people have beengot y'all? No, I think I
(26:34):
think chickan as the Yeah, un, let's say the Japanese commit a lot
of frontage. What if that?Look it up? Look up fraudig No,
you're making me nervous. Look itup. I don't want to start
getting like. I'm just telling youanimal pop worn telling you because you can
me look up something that is torub against someone with your clothes on,
(26:57):
like on subways, why do yourub them sexually? That's committing frontage.
You're gonna ask that on Jeopardy yieldfigure out the answer, Okay, And
I like how it says the vastmajority are women who get goots. Yeah,
okay, all right, that beloved. In the US, you have
(27:19):
Trader Joe's Everything bagel seasoning. Everyoneloves it. But bring it to South
Korea and you will get arrested becauseit is illegal. Well, listen to
this. Here's here's the ingredients,salt, minced garlic, sesame seeds,
and poppy seeds. That is thepoppy seeds that are not allowed. And
(27:42):
so they're saying it's illegal. Bythe way, I don't buy that at
all. It was Trader Joe's tryingto rename, or it was it was
South Korea saying you're changing the nameto Trader Kims, and Trader Joe said
no. And that's why you thinkthat's at the that's at the base out
in trouble therely retaliation. Yes,wow, yep, man, this is
(28:04):
like the Joe Rogan experience. Youreally dig deep. Alex off the hook
now Hannah wants off too. Anattorney for convicted movie armorer Hannah Gutierra's Reid
has filed emotion. She wants eithera new trial or to have the case
(28:26):
thrown out. As you'll recall,Alec Baldwin's case involving the death of Helena
Hutchinson on set of rust was dismissed. And it was dismissed because the judge
said, hey, you withheld evidence. Yep. And so now Hannah Gutierras
reads attorneys are basically saying the samething. Yeah, she's gonna go,
she's gonna walk. You think yep, I think so, I think so.
(28:49):
It's egregious prosecutorial misconduct the entire case. The prosecutors did that. This
was a case in which somebody whois her I think knows her stepdad who's
an armorer, also went to theprosecution and said, here are some bullets
that I think relate to the casethat could have an influence on the case.
(29:11):
They never brought it to the theynever gave it to the defense,
which they have to do. Andthey took those bullets, which by the
way, look exactly the same asthe bullets that were used to that were
mistakenly shot, that were used inthe shooting, and the prosecutor not only
didn't turn it in, they wentahead and introduced that in another case and
(29:36):
with a different evidence number. Youcan't do that anything that has to do
with the investigation that might exonerate Ethny. Exculpatory evidence has to be brought to
the defense, and they didn't doit. Yeah, they just it was
the case. I mean, theprosecution. You screwed the pooch on this
one. I know how much youlove first. Yeah, I love Flakers
(29:59):
to hire Lindsay Harding as team's firstfemale assistant. Parting, who's forty.
She played college basketball at Duke thesame time as Reddick. Yeah, there
you go, first female assistant,Thank you very much. So she's gonna
