I'm sorry I mispronounced her name, and I shouldn't because
too many people do mispronounce her name. Kamala Harris and
her price gouging plan, why uh not a good idea
at all? And why people think it's communist, which, by
the way, it is, Well it isn't. Per se communist,

What communist adjacent?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Yeah, that's very strong. That's very strong. All right, guys, Uh,
let's do it. It is time for handle on the
news on this hump day Wednesday. It's Neil, it's Amy,
it's me lead story omob. Well, last night was convention
(03:25):
a number two and it's being described as a party,
and it really was. It wasn't even even the delegates,
sort of the state party leaders who gave the delegate vote,
of course to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, she already won.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I mean it was strictly it's like going to the
city hall getting a license getting married and then you
have the kumbaya affair where everybody puts their hands around
the tree and chance uh and then you have some
shaman witch doctor person actually perform the ceremony.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Well, they've all been holding their nose.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
For the longest time, going I am going to vote
for a dead man now.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
True, you're right. That's one of the reasons I think
they partied. Also, I think they partied because they now
are looking at.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
A possible win. Uh and if it and and if the.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Uh if the numbers keep on rising for her, if
the polls keep on rising, and it's not just a honeymoon, yeah,
it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
It's all.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's changed completely from where the Democratic Party was. I mean,
over a night it changed. Okay, I'm sorry. They were celebrating,
they were partying. There were rappers up there, there was music.
They almost looked like a Kinsion Eira every time someone spoke.
And there's a different song for every delegation. I don't
(05:00):
know if they paid paid rights for that, but they
could have just had this land is My Land.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Over and over and over again.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
People love musicians love their music being played.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh yeah, well, there are a couple of that, you know,
not said no to Trump, But for the most part,
I think they do.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
What happened on he is Yeah, you didn't get I'm
Proud to be an American?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh yeah, but that was Was that written for Trump
or the campaign? Who is the guy Greenwood?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Did he write it or not? Has that been around forever?
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He wrote it in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's a gorgeous song. I love that. But it's a
fantastic song.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Okay, uh yeah, let's go ahead and I'll do more
about this night two of What Happened Last.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Night, Disney's backing down on this one.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Disney is a reverse course tied to a wrongful death
loss suit that was filed by a widower of a
woman who died because she had an allergic reaction to
something she ate at a restaurant at one of the
Disney resorts. Disney had said, you know, you really can't
file a lawsuit because a couple of years ago you
(06:16):
signed up for a one month trial of Disney Plus
and in the terms and conditions, you agreed to arbitration.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
For any Disney related related and they said, because of that,
you're going to arbitration. And the publicity, the optics, the
negative publicity was.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Overwhelming and widely.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Why do people, especially wrongful death cases, why do they
want to go in front of a jury, because you've
got dad and children crying, making statements put out you
don't want to go in front of a jury. Where's arbitrators?
You know they look at the facts. They've hurt it all.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
So you know, who was very loud on this one
is groups that are surrounded by allergy groups, food allergy
groups because I follow a lot of them because of
the Fork report, a lot of them were very loud
on this, saying hey, we need protection on this, and
this is a massive case.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
It was actually loud on social media.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You have protections liability all over the place.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yes, but the fact is that a lot of people
poo poo these things still when it comes to food allergies.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
And you know, they were very loud.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But Disney, you know, whoever was smart enough to see
that and back off of that.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I've seen.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I have been with someone who had a severe food
allergy and to watch someone where it can be life threatening,
I mean just red puff up can't breathe. It's hugely entertaining.
I have to tell you to see something like that happen,
(07:55):
and if.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
You apologize for giving them peanuts and soy, no curious.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, you know I am thinking about this was raspberries,
by the way.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Okay, let's move.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
On, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
So, Ukraine launched one of the largest ever drone attacks
on Moscow just this morning, with Russian air defense units
destroying at least ten of the drones flying towards the capital.
Kiev has stepped up its air attacks obviously on Russian
territory over the past few months, saying it aims to
destroy infrastructure key to Moscow's war effort.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, it's going the other way, at least for that
part of the war. Ukraine now has weapons and Russia
it's all.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No one in Russia wants to fight this war.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
It's towards It's like the latter end of the Vietnam
War for US. No one wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We do one more.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think yep, so deal or no deal. It's looking
like it might be no deal.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
President Biden has accused Hams of backing away from a
hostage deal with Israel would create a ceasefire in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah yah ya.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Sinoar believes the latest round of negotiations is a bluff
meant to grant Israel more time to continue its military offensive.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Now look at this, if this makes sense, Okay, this
is a bluff of what Israel is saying.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
All right, fair enough, I mean you're on different sides.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
No one believes anybody, however, this is a bluff so Israel.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Can continue the offensive.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
What if you don't have an agreement like they don't
want doesn't the military offensive continue anyway?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So it's all crap what we're hearing.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Each side accuses the other comes up with I mean Netanyahu,
he was interviewed and the issue was the aid that
was not coming into Gaza because you had those thousands
of food trucks lined up with humanic tarian aid. Netanyahu
actually said, it's a myth. We are helping humanitarian aid
(10:06):
going in. We are not stopping it. As a matter
of fact, our soldiers are helping them.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
No, it's just.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
You know, I wish, well, I wish it was not
to Neatayahu, and but I think you can go to
the same clay. I think it's legitimate for Israel to say, hey,
we're not caving in. We want Hamasta disappear, which it won't. Okay, there,
I see I spin off and I go into these
political Daya tribes.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But we'll come back to it, all right.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
City of Los Angeles they've agreed to pay twenty point
eight million dollars for what to fix issues with the
Hyperion water reclamation plant and to complete related environmental projects
that are linked to the discharge of millions of gallons
of poopy wastewater into Santa Monica Bay. Gosh, Santa Monica
(11:00):
has so much garbage in and out of the water
right now. July of twenty twenty one, if you remember,
the headworks became inundated with debris, causing wastewater to flood
the area. So the Hyperion's relief system was triggered in
about twelve point five million with an m gallons of
(11:20):
untreated wastewater. That means straight up pope and pee into
the Santa Monica.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yea, it's Have you ever been to the Hyperion plant.
It's fascinating, It is utterly fascinating. Just can you imagine
the size of that plant and the pipes, and you
know you have shut off valves that you turn on
and off the water. They are in the shape of
giant toilet handles, and that was a real problem for them,
(11:47):
which is why part of this twenty one million dollars
is going to go to replace.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Those good smart Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Oh did you know?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Boy? That real quick on about Hyperion, the Hyperion plant.
I think I saw this, you could check it on
the internets. Is that the Hyperian plan has capacity to
have twice the population of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I just believe. And it's all.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Gravity too, It's all gravity. There are no pumps, it
literally is. It goes from the valleys, the high valleys
down and enough water pressure where it's just get gravity fed.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You can look that one up to.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Okay, why do you know that?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. Who was it?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I talked about Typhus the other day. He said, oh, yeah,
will be right. Nineteen twelve died of typhus. Do you
know how long Orville lived till? No? How long nineteen
forty eight is when he died, or thirty eight.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Could be I was born eighty.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
It could be thirty eight instead of forty eight, but anyway,
died of type his popcorn.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, it's forty eight, by the way, Oh it is
forty eight. Okay, I was right the first time out.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I just got the conot You have to go with
your first instinct.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
That's the way you take tests too. Don't go back.
All right, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Baby food doesn't necessarily equal healthy food. A new study
shows that supermarket baby food is packed with non nutritious things,
including too much sugar and salt, and also it makes
misleading marketing claims. A new study found that sixty percent
of the six hundred and fifty one foods marketed to
(13:38):
kids between the months of six and thirty six on
ten different supermarket shelves in the US failed to meet
World Health Organization nutritional guidelines for infant and toddler foods.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Hey, Neil, don't you have to put that label on
everything that's sold in a supermarket ingredients label? Yeah, and
that's the It includes the percentage of fat and salt,
et cetera.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It should be on everything.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So I can't imagine it's not on baby food, So
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
It does or does not say that those that sugar
and the salt is already listed and people just don't
pay attention or they didn't put it in. And now
we're talking crimes. Now, we're talking corporate felonies.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I think it's on there.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I think it is true.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
It's been a while, you know, maxis seven now, it's
been a while, but they're six months.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
I think it's on there.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
And there's a lot of better options for you now
than the big standard ones growing up. So you can
get organic, you can get all kinds of small batch
food as well, make your own, quite honestly, all right.
Salvador placentia, yes, placentia whatever. He's that doctor that was
(14:55):
charged in the Matthew Perry death. This is a weird thing.
So he reopened his Calabasis medical clinic, but he didn't
go into treat patients. And there's a sign on the
door that says he is a defendant and a pending
case no crap, and charged with felony offenses. He cannot
prescribe and he controlled substance to substances, but he keeps
(15:16):
his medical license, which I guess makes sense until.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
He's temporarily temporarily he's keeping his medical license, there's gonna
be some real issues with him.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I think he's going to probably lose it. And it's
really all.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
You know. I don't know if law state law says
that if you are a defendant and a criminal trial
of this kind dealing with your doctorhood and dealing with
moral turpitude, do you have to put a sign on
the door that said you're a defendant and a pending
case charged with a felony.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Why don't they just do it like a restaurant and
put a D or something on the door, Yeah, you know,
like a and the.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, this place is a D. Yeah. It's surprising that.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
What's crazy because I'll bet you some of the patients
don't even know about placentia. Who watches the evening news anymore?
How big a story was this. It's a big story
for me because one of my best friends that's that's
their family doctor.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So they were Yeah, we found out.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I was at their house when placentia came up on
the screen and was charged.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh yeah, they flipped out. They go, that's our doctor.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
That's our doctor, Anthony, Lauren Anthony and learn very very funny.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I have a question Amy before we go.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Ye during the break, you have to tell me the
difference between placentia, placentia and placentau.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You've you have to help me with that one.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I just am going off of the pronouncers provided by
the can't find news editors.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Okay, so it's not placenta.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
No, it's placentia.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Okay, got its always wondering now, I always conflate you know,
places and bodily functions.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
And part better than inflating the part.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
An unholy alliance. Donald Trump said he would certainly be
open to Robert F. Kennedy Junior playing a role in
his administration if RFK drops out of the twenty twenty
four race and endorses Trump.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Oh, that's horrible, that's terrible.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
This happens all of the time, and I don't know, Well,
it's a story because I think it's Trump, but it
constantly happens. You've got people that give a ton of
money to a campaign. Strangely enough, they get to be ambassadors.
How about that one. Political deals are cut constantly, especially
(17:48):
for votes that a president desperately needs. Or it's just
it's crazy to say that this is anything weird. It
is absolutely regular practice, so you can't make a big
deal about it. The only thing I really do like
about this is the fact that it's in the open.
Usually these things are sub rosa, under the table below rosa.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And this we all know about.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
And so if RFK does endorse and he will get
a cabinet position, we know.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Where the endorsement came from. It was a deal that
was cut. It's in the open.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I love this somehow it's being I think it's somehow,
and I don't even know because I haven't seen this
that in liberal democratic.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Circles, ooh, ooh, look at this.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Isn't this horrible, It's not It's normal practice.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Women in the United States are having babies less often,
and the fertility rate reached a record low in twenty
twenty three. This is according to data from the CDC.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
And.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
They've it's been trending down for decades.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
We saw a little bit of a dip in the
during the Great Recession of two thousand and eight, but
if you remember, there was that uptick in twenty twenty
one where you know, the COVID baby bump thing was
all the rage, but that has now dipped.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It has been going on for decades and decades, the
birth rate declining. We go back to nineteen eighty nineteen
eighty when I wrote my first surrogency contract.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It was with infertile people, of course.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And the rate was at that point at fifteen percent
of infertile couples had fertility problems.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And that has exploded since then.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
I remember couples coming in and ago, you first have
to go to a coming in and say we want
to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Know, you first have to go to a doctor. You
have to go through all the infertility treatments.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I would ask the couple do you have a for example,
do you have a spa one of those hot tubs
in your yard?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
And if they said yes, I go.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
You can't use them because men in a hot tub,
it does their balls hang low. Uh. That's a great song,
but it's uh it does, heat does hurt. Oh, I'm digressing.
Just some some reasons for this. I'll do a story
a little bit later on. But the point is, infertility
rates have climbed and climbed, and for those of us
(20:20):
who made a business out of it, Uh, you know,
it's not the worst thing in the world, is it.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Wow? What would cause that?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
A bunch of stuff. Age causes it. Uh.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And then the infrato rate is exploded because people are
having kids older, you know, in their forties.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I was.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
I was in my forties when my my kids were born,
So that happens more and more women also, Uh. And
women's eggs age. Men sperm don't particularly age women's eggs age.
You know, a woman is born with every single egg
she's ever gonna have.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
So men can produce children.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
In the seventies, eighties, nineties, even women well, menopause, and
as someone gets into their thirties, mid thirties and beyond
a woman, it's less and less of a chance of actually.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Being being pregnant naturally, which I don't understand just how
how does that work? Natural pregnancy?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
My kids were IVF, so whatever we had to do,
we did it separately.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
And then and then had a blind eight.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
What I was married to you, I'd prefer that too.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, yeah that was the case.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Anyway, I go on and on and on, but it's
it really is a huge, huge issue. Okay, coming up,
we'll finish up handle on the news.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
You know, I'm being but particularly voluable tonight this warning?
Aren't I voluble? Yeah? I think voluble? Is that the
right word? Talkative? Hey, sirih what's a seminent cinnamon sement?
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Hey, Serien's cinnamm for words?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
What is the sinnyon him for talkative? Okay, we'll find out.
Loquacious okay, garrulous, voluble that's number two.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Voluble Okay, characterized by ready or rapid speech.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Did I call it?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
What you did? That was beautiful?
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Conway.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Conway refers to Krozier as the king of volume. That's
actually it's a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Well. I one of my dear friends in England, his
wife was maybe twenty pounds overweight. He was probably eighty
pounds overweight, and he would always use the Royal EU
obesity when referring to her, Yes, your obesity.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Okay, So one of the best mementoes of travel is
going away. The European Union's Commissioner for Home Affairs has
announced that the EU is going to switch to a
electronic entry and exit system known as the EEES later
this year, and that means that there will no longer
(23:08):
be a stamp requirement for most tourists for their visas
or for their passports. So they say, at every single airport, yeah,
every single harbor, every single road, we're going to have
digital border controls.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And as you said, it's a memento.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
There's nothing like a passport that shows where the countries
you've been in so you can relive except that if
you have people just show the passport and it reads
everything going into a country passport control. I mean, it's
all electronic now face recognition, and it does stand one
of the things that there's two You can go through
(23:48):
one section of passport control and then you can go
through the other section where they stamp it. There's all
how often is there a line on the stamp part
versus the electronic part.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's the point, unfortunately, but You're right, what a momentoy?
It was.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Yeah, we don't have plans till maybe next year. And
I wanted Max to be able to get some stamps
on his passport.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
But ooh, all.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Right, wells Fargo is set to sell the majority of
its commercial mortgage service business to global loan service provider Trimont,
and the move would make Trimont the largest loan servicer
in the US industry.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Okay, let me throw a couple of things in there.
This is not mortgages. This is not holding mortgages. The
other side of the mortgage business is mortgage servicing business,
collecting the interest, the fees, doing all the administrative work.
And so people are these big companies that own mortgages.
They don't do anything. They just have borrowed money and
they get interest back. So this is just that business.
(24:48):
And the question is Tremont becoming the largest loan servicer.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I don't know how big it's going to get.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
And as the government going to stop it because the
market's going to share going to be too big with
anti anti tis trust try trust lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well we got some sticker shock.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
LA Clippers fans have always had relatively inexpensive tickets known
as some of the most affordable in the NBA. But
now they're going to be playing at the Intuit Dome
starting in October for the twenty twenty four to twenty
five NBA season. They just announced the schedule and announced pricing,
(25:27):
and we'll just say that everybody's freaking out just a
little bit because now they're super super expensive Clippers and Sons.
On October twenty third, the tickets are going for between
three hundred and eighty six and five hundred and seventy
seven dollars on the one hundred level.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I think the White House is going to get in
on this, saying this is price control because companies can't
raise their prices to what they want to raise their
prices and say, you want to come to the game,
this is where we're at. Buy the ticket, don't buy
the ticket. Isn't that sort of the capital system? Am
I missing something here?
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Well, I just want everybody to shut the hell up
about how expensive it is to go to Disneyland, because
this is.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I know, for two hours.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Or two hours game and then you know, ten dollars hot.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dogs, twenty dollars beers.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Yeah, let's get a mamie. Yeah, shoot a gold bar,
which I've always wanted.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
I think they're pretty.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
But the price of a gold bar is worth a
million dollars for the first time, if you do the math.
This precious metal that we all love, gold is going
nuts right now. The price of spot gold reached more
than twenty five hundred dollars per troy ounce on Friday,
record high, and that means that the average gold bar
(26:48):
that weighs four hundred troy ounces carry the ones it's
a million bucks?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeap? What?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
And there are I don't know you can get for
people that hold gold, you can actually get at the bars.
You can hold bullion at home, and now you have
a million dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What a paper weight? What a door stop? I mean,
this is great stuff.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
I have some physical gold.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You shouldn't announce that on the radio.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Well yeah, you know, yeah, but people do.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Trust me.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
You'd come into my house and you would leave quickly
because all I have is crap that nobody wants.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Hey, I have a question in terms of gold.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I've often asked this to survivalists who keep gold in
case the armageddon common they go, what the hell good
is gold going to be? When the world falls apart.
Explain that to me, what are you gonna do. You're
gonna go out and buy stuff with gold?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
That's how it started. We always revert, you go.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Buy no the country.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
We when economy goes down, gold prices go up. There's
no question about that. When the stock market falls and
the mortgage business falls, the gold prices go up. And
so that's what's happening here. And by the way, it's
only perception. Oh before we end, you know how gold
prices are set, and they're set every day.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You know where That happens.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
In London and there are about eight or eleven guys,
maybe a woman now, who sit around a table and
they determine what the price of gold is that day.
It's not like a compilation of all the stocks.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's a committee that determines the price of gold that day.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You can look that one up to. Okay, guys, no.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
What metal you really want to start holding on to
if there's any sort of drop that gets heinous here
in the United States?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, wrought iron?
Speaker 7 (28:47):
What lead is in bullets? Because that buys everything.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, that's not a bad point.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
You can get anything with that. It's universally understood is.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Wells that are already the lead that's already made into
bullets is probably a little bit more valuable than the lead,
for example, that you find in Flint, Michigan, in the river. Okay,
we're done, guys, we are done. KFI AM six forty

And we've got a lot going on today. And Kamala Kamala.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I'm sorry I mispronounced her name, and I shouldn't because
too many people do mispronounce her name. Kamala Harris and
her price gouging plan, why uh not a good idea
at all? And why people think it's communist, which, by
the way, it is, Well it isn't. Per se communist,
(02:57):
but it's pretty left wing. I have to tell you
that social absolutely.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
What communist adjacent?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Yeah, that's very strong. That's very strong. All right, guys, Uh,
let's do it. It is time for handle on the
news on this hump day Wednesday. It's Neil, it's Amy,
it's me lead story omob. Well, last night was convention
(03:25):
a number two and it's being described as a party,
and it really was. It wasn't even even the delegates,
sort of the state party leaders who gave the delegate vote,
of course to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, she already won.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I mean it was strictly it's like going to the
city hall getting a license getting married and then you
have the kumbaya affair where everybody puts their hands around
the tree and chance uh and then you have some
shaman witch doctor person actually perform the ceremony.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Well, they've all been holding their nose.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
For the longest time, going I am going to vote
for a dead man now.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
True, you're right. That's one of the reasons I think
they partied. Also, I think they partied because they now
are looking at.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
A possible win. Uh and if it and and if the.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Uh if the numbers keep on rising for her, if
the polls keep on rising, and it's not just a honeymoon, yeah,
it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
It's all.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's changed completely from where the Democratic Party was. I mean,
over a night it changed. Okay, I'm sorry. They were celebrating,
they were partying. There were rappers up there, there was music.
They almost looked like a Kinsion Eira every time someone spoke.
And there's a different song for every delegation. I don't
(05:00):
know if they paid paid rights for that, but they
could have just had this land is My Land.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Over and over and over again.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
People love musicians love their music being played.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh yeah, well, there are a couple of that, you know,
not said no to Trump, But for the most part,
I think they do.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
What happened on he is Yeah, you didn't get I'm
Proud to be an American?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh yeah, but that was Was that written for Trump
or the campaign? Who is the guy Greenwood?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Did he write it or not? Has that been around forever?
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He wrote it in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's a gorgeous song. I love that. But it's a
fantastic song.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Okay, uh yeah, let's go ahead and I'll do more
about this night two of What Happened Last.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Night, Disney's backing down on this one.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Disney is a reverse course tied to a wrongful death
loss suit that was filed by a widower of a
woman who died because she had an allergic reaction to
something she ate at a restaurant at one of the
Disney resorts. Disney had said, you know, you really can't
file a lawsuit because a couple of years ago you
(06:16):
signed up for a one month trial of Disney Plus
and in the terms and conditions, you agreed to arbitration.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
For any Disney related related and they said, because of that,
you're going to arbitration. And the publicity, the optics, the
negative publicity was.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Overwhelming and widely.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Why do people, especially wrongful death cases, why do they
want to go in front of a jury, because you've
got dad and children crying, making statements put out you
don't want to go in front of a jury. Where's arbitrators?
You know they look at the facts. They've hurt it all.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
So you know, who was very loud on this one
is groups that are surrounded by allergy groups, food allergy
groups because I follow a lot of them because of
the Fork report, a lot of them were very loud
on this, saying hey, we need protection on this, and
this is a massive case.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
It was actually loud on social media.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You have protections liability all over the place.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yes, but the fact is that a lot of people
poo poo these things still when it comes to food allergies.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
And you know, they were very loud.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But Disney, you know, whoever was smart enough to see
that and back off of that.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I've seen.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I have been with someone who had a severe food
allergy and to watch someone where it can be life threatening,
I mean just red puff up can't breathe. It's hugely entertaining.
I have to tell you to see something like that happen,
(07:55):
and if.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
You apologize for giving them peanuts and soy, no curious.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, you know I am thinking about this was raspberries,
by the way.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Okay, let's move.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
On, all right.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
So, Ukraine launched one of the largest ever drone attacks
on Moscow just this morning, with Russian air defense units
destroying at least ten of the drones flying towards the capital.
Kiev has stepped up its air attacks obviously on Russian
territory over the past few months, saying it aims to
destroy infrastructure key to Moscow's war effort.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, it's going the other way, at least for that
part of the war. Ukraine now has weapons and Russia
it's all.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
No one in Russia wants to fight this war.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
It's towards It's like the latter end of the Vietnam
War for US. No one wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We do one more.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think yep, so deal or no deal. It's looking
like it might be no deal.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
President Biden has accused Hams of backing away from a
hostage deal with Israel would create a ceasefire in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah yah ya.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Sinoar believes the latest round of negotiations is a bluff
meant to grant Israel more time to continue its military offensive.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Now look at this, if this makes sense, Okay, this
is a bluff of what Israel is saying.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
All right, fair enough, I mean you're on different sides.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
No one believes anybody, however, this is a bluff so Israel.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Can continue the offensive.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
What if you don't have an agreement like they don't
want doesn't the military offensive continue anyway?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So it's all crap what we're hearing.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Each side accuses the other comes up with I mean Netanyahu,
he was interviewed and the issue was the aid that
was not coming into Gaza because you had those thousands
of food trucks lined up with humanic tarian aid. Netanyahu
actually said, it's a myth. We are helping humanitarian aid
(10:06):
going in. We are not stopping it. As a matter
of fact, our soldiers are helping them.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
No, it's just.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
You know, I wish, well, I wish it was not
to Neatayahu, and but I think you can go to
the same clay. I think it's legitimate for Israel to say, hey,
we're not caving in. We want Hamasta disappear, which it won't. Okay, there,
I see I spin off and I go into these
political Daya tribes.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But we'll come back to it, all right.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
City of Los Angeles they've agreed to pay twenty point
eight million dollars for what to fix issues with the
Hyperion water reclamation plant and to complete related environmental projects
that are linked to the discharge of millions of gallons
of poopy wastewater into Santa Monica Bay. Gosh, Santa Monica
(11:00):
has so much garbage in and out of the water
right now. July of twenty twenty one, if you remember,
the headworks became inundated with debris, causing wastewater to flood
the area. So the Hyperion's relief system was triggered in
about twelve point five million with an m gallons of
(11:20):
untreated wastewater. That means straight up pope and pee into
the Santa Monica.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yea, it's Have you ever been to the Hyperion plant.
It's fascinating, It is utterly fascinating. Just can you imagine
the size of that plant and the pipes, and you
know you have shut off valves that you turn on
and off the water. They are in the shape of
giant toilet handles, and that was a real problem for them,
(11:47):
which is why part of this twenty one million dollars
is going to go to replace.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Those good smart Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Oh did you know?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Boy? That real quick on about Hyperion, the Hyperion plant.
I think I saw this, you could check it on
the internets. Is that the Hyperian plan has capacity to
have twice the population of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I just believe. And it's all.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Gravity too, It's all gravity. There are no pumps, it
literally is. It goes from the valleys, the high valleys
down and enough water pressure where it's just get gravity fed.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You can look that one up to.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Okay, why do you know that?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. Who was it?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I talked about Typhus the other day. He said, oh, yeah,
will be right. Nineteen twelve died of typhus. Do you
know how long Orville lived till? No? How long nineteen
forty eight is when he died, or thirty eight.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Could be I was born eighty.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
It could be thirty eight instead of forty eight, but anyway,
died of type his popcorn.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, it's forty eight, by the way, Oh it is
forty eight. Okay, I was right the first time out.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I just got the conot You have to go with
your first instinct.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
That's the way you take tests too. Don't go back.
All right, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Baby food doesn't necessarily equal healthy food. A new study
shows that supermarket baby food is packed with non nutritious things,
including too much sugar and salt, and also it makes
misleading marketing claims. A new study found that sixty percent
of the six hundred and fifty one foods marketed to
(13:38):
kids between the months of six and thirty six on
ten different supermarket shelves in the US failed to meet
World Health Organization nutritional guidelines for infant and toddler foods.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Hey, Neil, don't you have to put that label on
everything that's sold in a supermarket ingredients label? Yeah, and
that's the It includes the percentage of fat and salt,
et cetera.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It should be on everything.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So I can't imagine it's not on baby food, So
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
It does or does not say that those that sugar
and the salt is already listed and people just don't
pay attention or they didn't put it in. And now
we're talking crimes. Now, we're talking corporate felonies.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I think it's on there.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I think it is true.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
It's been a while, you know, maxis seven now, it's
been a while, but they're six months.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
I think it's on there.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
And there's a lot of better options for you now
than the big standard ones growing up. So you can
get organic, you can get all kinds of small batch
food as well, make your own, quite honestly, all right.
Salvador placentia, yes, placentia whatever. He's that doctor that was
(14:55):
charged in the Matthew Perry death. This is a weird thing.
So he reopened his Calabasis medical clinic, but he didn't
go into treat patients. And there's a sign on the
door that says he is a defendant and a pending
case no crap, and charged with felony offenses. He cannot
prescribe and he controlled substance to substances, but he keeps
(15:16):
his medical license, which I guess makes sense until.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
He's temporarily temporarily he's keeping his medical license, there's gonna
be some real issues with him.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I think he's going to probably lose it. And it's
really all.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
You know. I don't know if law state law says
that if you are a defendant and a criminal trial
of this kind dealing with your doctorhood and dealing with
moral turpitude, do you have to put a sign on
the door that said you're a defendant and a pending
case charged with a felony.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Why don't they just do it like a restaurant and
put a D or something on the door, Yeah, you know,
like a and the.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, this place is a D. Yeah. It's surprising that.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
What's crazy because I'll bet you some of the patients
don't even know about placentia. Who watches the evening news anymore?
How big a story was this. It's a big story
for me because one of my best friends that's that's
their family doctor.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So they were Yeah, we found out.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I was at their house when placentia came up on
the screen and was charged.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh yeah, they flipped out. They go, that's our doctor.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
That's our doctor, Anthony, Lauren Anthony and learn very very funny.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I have a question Amy before we go.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Ye during the break, you have to tell me the
difference between placentia, placentia and placentau.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
You've you have to help me with that one.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I just am going off of the pronouncers provided by
the can't find news editors.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Okay, so it's not placenta.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
No, it's placentia.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Okay, got its always wondering now, I always conflate you know,
places and bodily functions.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
And part better than inflating the part.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
An unholy alliance. Donald Trump said he would certainly be
open to Robert F. Kennedy Junior playing a role in
his administration if RFK drops out of the twenty twenty
four race and endorses Trump.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Oh, that's horrible, that's terrible.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
This happens all of the time, and I don't know, Well,
it's a story because I think it's Trump, but it
constantly happens. You've got people that give a ton of
money to a campaign. Strangely enough, they get to be ambassadors.
How about that one. Political deals are cut constantly, especially
(17:48):
for votes that a president desperately needs. Or it's just
it's crazy to say that this is anything weird. It
is absolutely regular practice, so you can't make a big
deal about it. The only thing I really do like
about this is the fact that it's in the open.
Usually these things are sub rosa, under the table below rosa.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And this we all know about.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
And so if RFK does endorse and he will get
a cabinet position, we know.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Where the endorsement came from. It was a deal that
was cut. It's in the open.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I love this somehow it's being I think it's somehow,
and I don't even know because I haven't seen this
that in liberal democratic.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Circles, ooh, ooh, look at this.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Isn't this horrible, It's not It's normal practice.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Women in the United States are having babies less often,
and the fertility rate reached a record low in twenty
twenty three. This is according to data from the CDC.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
And.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
They've it's been trending down for decades.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
We saw a little bit of a dip in the
during the Great Recession of two thousand and eight, but
if you remember, there was that uptick in twenty twenty
one where you know, the COVID baby bump thing was
all the rage, but that has now dipped.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It has been going on for decades and decades, the
birth rate declining. We go back to nineteen eighty nineteen
eighty when I wrote my first surrogency contract.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
It was with infertile people, of course.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And the rate was at that point at fifteen percent
of infertile couples had fertility problems.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And that has exploded since then.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
I remember couples coming in and ago, you first have
to go to a coming in and say we want
to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Know, you first have to go to a doctor. You
have to go through all the infertility treatments.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
I would ask the couple do you have a for example,
do you have a spa one of those hot tubs
in your yard?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
And if they said yes, I go.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
You can't use them because men in a hot tub,
it does their balls hang low. Uh. That's a great song,
but it's uh it does, heat does hurt. Oh, I'm digressing.
Just some some reasons for this. I'll do a story
a little bit later on. But the point is, infertility
rates have climbed and climbed, and for those of us
(20:20):
who made a business out of it, Uh, you know,
it's not the worst thing in the world, is it.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Wow? What would cause that?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
A bunch of stuff. Age causes it. Uh.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And then the infrato rate is exploded because people are
having kids older, you know, in their forties.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I was.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
I was in my forties when my my kids were born,
So that happens more and more women also, Uh. And
women's eggs age. Men sperm don't particularly age women's eggs age.
You know, a woman is born with every single egg
she's ever gonna have.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
So men can produce children.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
In the seventies, eighties, nineties, even women well, menopause, and
as someone gets into their thirties, mid thirties and beyond
a woman, it's less and less of a chance of actually.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Being being pregnant naturally, which I don't understand just how
how does that work? Natural pregnancy?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
My kids were IVF, so whatever we had to do,
we did it separately.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
And then and then had a blind eight.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
What I was married to you, I'd prefer that too.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, yeah that was the case.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Anyway, I go on and on and on, but it's
it really is a huge, huge issue. Okay, coming up,
we'll finish up handle on the news.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
You know, I'm being but particularly voluable tonight this warning?
Aren't I voluble? Yeah? I think voluble? Is that the
right word? Talkative? Hey, sirih what's a seminent cinnamon sement?
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Hey, Serien's cinnamm for words?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
What is the sinnyon him for talkative? Okay, we'll find out.
Loquacious okay, garrulous, voluble that's number two.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Voluble Okay, characterized by ready or rapid speech.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Did I call it?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
What you did? That was beautiful?
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Conway.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Conway refers to Krozier as the king of volume. That's
actually it's a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Well. I one of my dear friends in England, his
wife was maybe twenty pounds overweight. He was probably eighty
pounds overweight, and he would always use the Royal EU
obesity when referring to her, Yes, your obesity.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Okay, So one of the best mementoes of travel is
going away. The European Union's Commissioner for Home Affairs has
announced that the EU is going to switch to a
electronic entry and exit system known as the EEES later
this year, and that means that there will no longer
(23:08):
be a stamp requirement for most tourists for their visas
or for their passports. So they say, at every single airport, yeah,
every single harbor, every single road, we're going to have
digital border controls.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And as you said, it's a memento.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
There's nothing like a passport that shows where the countries
you've been in so you can relive except that if
you have people just show the passport and it reads
everything going into a country passport control. I mean, it's
all electronic now face recognition, and it does stand one
of the things that there's two You can go through
(23:48):
one section of passport control and then you can go
through the other section where they stamp it. There's all
how often is there a line on the stamp part
versus the electronic part.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's the point, unfortunately, but You're right, what a momentoy?
It was.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Yeah, we don't have plans till maybe next year. And
I wanted Max to be able to get some stamps
on his passport.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
But ooh, all.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Right, wells Fargo is set to sell the majority of
its commercial mortgage service business to global loan service provider Trimont,
and the move would make Trimont the largest loan servicer
in the US industry.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Okay, let me throw a couple of things in there.
This is not mortgages. This is not holding mortgages. The
other side of the mortgage business is mortgage servicing business,
collecting the interest, the fees, doing all the administrative work.
And so people are these big companies that own mortgages.
They don't do anything. They just have borrowed money and
they get interest back. So this is just that business.
(24:48):
And the question is Tremont becoming the largest loan servicer.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I don't know how big it's going to get.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
And as the government going to stop it because the
market's going to share going to be too big with
anti anti tis trust try trust lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well we got some sticker shock.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
LA Clippers fans have always had relatively inexpensive tickets known
as some of the most affordable in the NBA. But
now they're going to be playing at the Intuit Dome
starting in October for the twenty twenty four to twenty
five NBA season. They just announced the schedule and announced pricing,
(25:27):
and we'll just say that everybody's freaking out just a
little bit because now they're super super expensive Clippers and Sons.
On October twenty third, the tickets are going for between
three hundred and eighty six and five hundred and seventy
seven dollars on the one hundred level.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
I think the White House is going to get in
on this, saying this is price control because companies can't
raise their prices to what they want to raise their
prices and say, you want to come to the game,
this is where we're at. Buy the ticket, don't buy
the ticket. Isn't that sort of the capital system? Am
I missing something here?
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Well, I just want everybody to shut the hell up
about how expensive it is to go to Disneyland, because
this is.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I know, for two hours.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Or two hours game and then you know, ten dollars hot.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dogs, twenty dollars beers.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Yeah, let's get a mamie. Yeah, shoot a gold bar,
which I've always wanted.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
I think they're pretty.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
But the price of a gold bar is worth a
million dollars for the first time, if you do the math.
This precious metal that we all love, gold is going
nuts right now. The price of spot gold reached more
than twenty five hundred dollars per troy ounce on Friday,
record high, and that means that the average gold bar
(26:48):
that weighs four hundred troy ounces carry the ones it's
a million bucks?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeap? What?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
And there are I don't know you can get for
people that hold gold, you can actually get at the bars.
You can hold bullion at home, and now you have
a million dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What a paper weight? What a door stop? I mean,
this is great stuff.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
I have some physical gold.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You shouldn't announce that on the radio.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Well yeah, you know, yeah, but people do.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Trust me.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
You'd come into my house and you would leave quickly
because all I have is crap that nobody wants.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Hey, I have a question in terms of gold.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I've often asked this to survivalists who keep gold in
case the armageddon common they go, what the hell good
is gold going to be? When the world falls apart.
Explain that to me, what are you gonna do. You're
gonna go out and buy stuff with gold?
Speaker 7 (27:45):
That's how it started. We always revert, you go.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Buy no the country.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
We when economy goes down, gold prices go up. There's
no question about that. When the stock market falls and
the mortgage business falls, the gold prices go up. And
so that's what's happening here. And by the way, it's
only perception. Oh before we end, you know how gold
prices are set, and they're set every day.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You know where That happens.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
In London and there are about eight or eleven guys,
maybe a woman now, who sit around a table and
they determine what the price of gold is that day.
It's not like a compilation of all the stocks.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's a committee that determines the price of gold that day.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You can look that one up to. Okay, guys, no.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
What metal you really want to start holding on to
if there's any sort of drop that gets heinous here
in the United States?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, wrought iron?
Speaker 7 (28:47):
What lead is in bullets? Because that buys everything.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, that's not a bad point.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
You can get anything with that. It's universally understood is.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Wells that are already the lead that's already made into
bullets is probably a little bit more valuable than the lead,
for example, that you find in Flint, Michigan, in the river. Okay,
we're done, guys, we are done. KFI AM six forty
