Tender loin piece are great.
Speaker 2 (02:56):

Who turned me onto them is Ray Lopez from the
Cobalt Show. I was going, I just said, you know,

he's like, I'm doing porkloin and I loved it.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh and was? I asked her, so this weekend did

I understand the weekend you worked at Sofi?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I get it. You have to tell me again.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So who was playing? She went, well, the weekend? I
go wait a minute, this sounds like who's on first, right,
and it was The Weekend a group. What kind of
music do they player? He's a singer?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yes? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The Weekend is a singer, yes, yes, who doesn't play
Monday through Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He did actually play last Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And sold out, right, yeah, sixty to sixty people.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
He did the super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
He is awesome, all right, So much for that. What
else did I do yesterday?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I did that event that Lawyer's Philharmonic.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Great girl, how was that?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It was wonderful? I enjoy it so much. There is
a Mike maguire who is a singer.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He is he's a practicing attorney and he has won
a Tony Award and it was he's that good of
a singer. He opened it limits and won a Tony Award.
When it opened up, he was a lead, and so
I introduced him and I said, you know, we went
through all the attorneys in southern California who won Tony's,
(05:04):
and the first three couldn't make it. The next two
just didn't want to show up. So we finally got
to Mike McGuire. His voice is un believable.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He is so good all right.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
See don't you take your daughters for their birthday?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I did?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
How they take my daughters?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They didn't now, actually because I told them that Taylor
Swift was going to show up and I admitted that
they weren't.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now they did great. They really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's a fun show. It's been a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, it's a It is a fun show. Okay, let's
do it, guys. We've got a lot going. Oh man,
the Senate is voting. They have not yet voted. Have
they done the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
No, they're going to start voting soon.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, we'll see what well it's going to go, of course,
because even even the Republicans who have a problem with
it are going to fall in line. The only one
that isn't well, Rama always votes to gin everything, against
anything that spends money and tell us, tell us, I
think of North Carolina. Oh said he's going to vote
against it. And Trump said, real simple, I'm going to
(06:10):
go after you. I'm going to primary you out. And
he said, I quit.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'm not going to get re elected. You can primary
me out all you want. I'm not running for re election.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
So that seems to me the only way to if
you're a Republican to go against Trump. So we'll see
what happens today. I think he's going to get it.
You know, there's no question.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
There's several there's several votes today they're voting on the
amendments that they've passed. So it's of they're calling it
a vote rama.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, in the end, he's going to get the majority
of what he wants. There's just no question about it.
It's just but you know, but presidents were able to
do that, pull springs.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what was able to pull that off was LBJ.
LBJ twisted arms.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's how he got the Civil Rights Bill passed in
nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now, he didn't threaten with.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
He didn't threaten with primarying out because he had been
in Congress for so long. He basically threatened these senators
was showing the public pictures of the goats that they
were screwing and embarrassing the hell out of them. So
different way of twisting arms. All right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's time for handle on the news. Amy and Neil
and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And it is exactly that the Senate, it just narrowly,
narrowly advanced the voting I think by a couple of votes,
and that was lawmakers voted fifty one to forty nine
to open debate nine d and forty page megabill, which
Chuck Schumer, who has the right to do that, said,
(07:55):
I want the clerk to read every single word of
a nine hundred and forty page document.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Took fifteen hours. Weren't people throw with that one?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
But the question is did all the senators have to
be there?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't. Didn't show you know, you didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The video did not show how many were there because
usually whenever you see the speakers in front of the house,
you know, at the lectern, or a senator at the
front doing his statement, his or her statement, there's nobody there.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's for the camera. There are three people in the audience.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
That is the equivalent of your show for five days.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
That's correct, where I'm speaking all week. That's right, I'm
speaking to the five of you. Yeah, that's our audience.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Moving on, still hammering.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Russia has launched its largest aerial attack against Ukraine. Five
hundred and thirty seven aerial weapons were launched at Ukraine.
Four hundred and seventy seven drones and decoys and sixty missiles.
Ukraine's Air Force says that of those two hundred and
forty nine were shot down, two hundred twenty six were lost.
Apparently they can electronically jam them so they don't go off.
(09:12):
The onslaught was what it calls the most massive air
strike on Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full scale
invasion in February of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's not doing well now, Ukraine, and unfortunately for Ukraine,
all of the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Attention has shifted over to Iran, and Ukraine's getting lost
in the shuffle.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And the president is not that close to Iran or
a Zelenski, very close to Netanyahu and Israel.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
No surprise there, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Republican Senator Tom Tillis, as we were talking about earlier
of North Carolina and now Sunday, you can't fire me.
I quit sort of. He's not seeking reelection next year,
and this comes a day after he was is one
of the only what two Republicans who voted against advancing
President Donald Trump's sweeping, big, beautiful, hugely bigly agenda bill.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, seven o'clock, I'm gonna go through some of the
provisions of the bill, but you don't vote against Donald
Trump if.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You're a Republicans. That simple.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
If you do, first of all, you are a trader
to the Constitution, which, by the way, I'm not kidding either.
Donald Trump is the cost Constitution and he will tell
you that. And as soon as Tillis voted no because
of provision to Medicaid and I'll explain more about that.
(10:42):
At seven o'clock, President said, I'm gonna you want to
be re elected, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
To primary you out if you vote against me, and
you did, You're going to pay.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And at that point Tillis said, I'm not running again.
Now the realistically, he had a tough fight last time around.
He almost lost the last time, so it's going to
be one of the toughest Senate races. That seat is
one of the most vulnerable in the country. So he's
out and Trump's threat isn't a threat anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Just isn't all right?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Moving on, no fences required.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Plans are moving forward for Florida to open their Alligator
Alcatraz in the Everglades. The facility is going to have
temporary structures, heavy duty tents, trailers to house detained immigrants.
The state says that by early July, it'll have five
thousand immigration detention beds in operation. And they're calling it
(11:41):
Alligator Alcatraz because it is in the middle of the Everglades.
Everglades do they say they don't even need fences or
anything because you know, there's alligators in the swamps around it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
DeSantis said, outright, if you try to escape, you will
be eaten straight out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It would be great if we could use it for
like rapists, murderers and things like that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and there's a little bit of controversy there, but
isn't there always, and DeSantis being one of the most
i would guess, the most vocal of the anti illegal
immigration folks out there in terms of both governor and
any elected official.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The crazy ass story unfolding yesterday. Gunman ambushed and shot
dead to firefighters. They were responding to a forest fire
in northern Idaho and it you know, they believed that
he actually the suspects started the fire and it was
a total ambush. And then the cops come and they
(12:46):
have exchanging gunfire. The guy is shooting with a long rifle,
you know, sniper positioning, and they were under fire for
quite some time. More than three hundred law enforcement officers
from the city, county, state, federal levels responding to the scene.
The guy, the suspect, was found dead right now. They
(13:07):
don't know if it was through a police fire or
if he took his own life.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Either way, he's dead, but now killing two.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, and another one almost fighters.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Fighting for his life.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's just it's a horrific story, it really.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Is, and no one's it's so unusual that people are
just shaking their heads. I mean, firefighters, it's you know,
they don't carry weapons, they're not a threat, and yet
here's what happens.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I think we may soon see a lot of journalists
in jail.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
President Trump says he's weighing his options and wants to
force or may want afford journalists who published the leaked
details of a US intelligence report that said that the
strike against Iran wasn't as effective as he claimed. He
said his administration may prosecute those reporters and sources if
(14:02):
they don't comply, and then he also told Maria Bartiromo
on Fox News yesterday that the Iranian.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Facilities were successfully crippled.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
He says the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite
Iranian assertions that the military had moved the actually the
material had been moved before the strikes.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hey, Amy, let me ask you, you're a newsperson.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
How successful do you think that threat is going to
work amongst newspeople or are they going to simply say
uh uh, that's no sources.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That they're going to just they'll take a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
There was a story I know back in the seventies
with a reporter for the Herald Examiner who.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Was asked to release the source as to some criminal event,
and he said no.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He was indicted by the grand jury and he and
the judge held him in contempt and he spent eighteen
months in jail because he wouldn't really reveal a source.
And the only reason he got out is because the
grand juries there what are they looking for? The time
they were in session? It was an eighteen month session
(15:15):
of the grand jury. And when then that disappeared, When
that went away, then that indictment, that contempt citation went away.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Eighteen months he spent in prison.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well how much longer does Trump have an office?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Three and a half years?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, yeah, And I'm willing to bet that too. Reporters,
sources are so SACRISANCT. So SACRISANCT that they're willing to
go to prison.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But what was that one about.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I owe some sources to some criminal event. I don't
remember specifically.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Because they just remember him going to put criminality to
it or what this. Yeah, so what.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
He's going to basically, of course it's going to make
a criminal. You don't tell the sources we're going to
prosecute you to put you in prison.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
It's like it's they would say it's national security, exactly, It's.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Not national security.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
They are really really so.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You think national security? For example, I don't think that
a demonstration in Los Angeles is a rebellion against the
government of the United States.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, it was a that was a vote of no
confidence for Captain Hairdo and Bass. So you guys don't
take care of any any and we don't. We don't
take a rebellion. It's not whether they did it or not.
It doesn't matter, all.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Right, Well, you and I can agree to disagree or
repeat to or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I just think that forcing a journalist is a massive thing,
and it would be for something that was really, you know,
put us in danger as a nation that doesn't Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, no, I agreed.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Does the whole concept of forcing journalists to reveal their
sources that is sacricinct to the press.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Agree.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
In the States and.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The way the press is a lot today. I mean
they'll use that as you know where it does a
badge of honor.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, that's good, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Jim Acosta in jail for forty two months, he'd love it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You're right, you probably would, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett dished out six a billion with
a bee in Berkshire Hathaway shares to five charities just
on Saturday. This is the biggest annual donation nearly twenty years.
And you know it's a dip in the bucket or
dropping the bucket rather of his one hundred and fifty
(17:40):
two billion estimating net worth. But you know he's he's
pledged that he's going to donate his wealth.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
A couple things about Warren Buffett, very interesting guy. First
of all, he is leaving all of his money to
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And the reason is
why would he set up another foundation and all of
the bureaucracy and have employees when the Gates are already
doing that job.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So he says here, you just take it all.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And we talked about ninety nine point what nine to
five percent of his wealth. I interviewed his son Peter
a few years ago and I said, your dad's one
of the wealthiest men in the world, so you're probably
going to get some money.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He goes, are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
If we get a million dollars each, the siblings, we
will be thrilled. Wow, because from day one Warren buff said,
you want a bicycle, you go out and buy a bicycle.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
You work for it. A very interesting guy, to say
the least.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Thanks for an interesting Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, and no, they get Christmas presents like any other
moderately successful business person would give children.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Their children are Buffet's children all very successful.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, they all do very well.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No, that's because daddy's giving him everything.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I mean they don't do, you know daddy well, but
they all make a good living. I think Peter's a
documentary filmmaker if I remember correctly, and he lives in
the same house he's lived for forty years, fifty years.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean it's a nice house.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You know, there's a nice neighborhood and you know, maybe
four or five thousand square feet but he doesn't live
like a billionaire. He doesn't have five hundred million dollar yachts,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Before the clock runs out again, there may be a
buyer for TikTok. President Trump said yesterday we have a
buyer for TikTok. By the way, I think I'll need
probably China approval, and I think President she will probably
do it. He made the announcement yesterday, wouldn't say who
it was, but said he'll tell us in about two weeks.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
He said, it's a group of very wealthy people, all right, and.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That enables TikTok to still remain in the United States.
Otherwise it would be gone. Remember when they took themselves
offline and the outcry was unbelievable. So it came back,
and now it's on his third go round, and I
think they have to find one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh, here is a fun story deal.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, so this man talking about giving away wealth. One
man's final wishes was to show his community, you know, love,
and he wanted to do it with a cash drop
from the sky. So on Friday, June twenty seventh, around
one pm there in East Detroit, man's last request was
fulfilled when a helicopter dropped thousands of dollars in cash
(20:40):
onto pedestrians down below. And you know, from what I read,
everybody got a little bit. There wasn't like pushing, screaming.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And do you believe that?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Do you believe cash coming down and no one is
going to go for it and push.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
People out of the way. Beautiful there was, well, yeah,
someone said it was really beautiful. Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Cynical on a Monday, this much cynicism.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Huh Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, because Tuesday through Thursday.
I'm not cynical.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm just a man, can hope.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah. Edison is fesced up to a flaw.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
They're saying that our lawyers are saying that both the
Saddle Ridge fire in twenty nineteen and the Hearst fire
were started because there is improper grounding that has been
done by so Cal Edison, and that comes after so
Cal Edison admitted that its equipment may have ignited the
(21:43):
Hurst fire, which was the one that broke out near
Silmar around the same time that the fires in Pacific
Palisades and Altadena were burning. But they're saying lawyers are saying, Hey,
the same problem started the fire in twenty nineteen called
the saddle Ridge fire. For Edison is saying Nope, we
didn't start that one. Yeah, admitted to the one this time.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
In the meantime. The Palisades fire is.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've seen that videotape of the fire igniting right there
next to one of the power poles.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
The Palisades or the eating Palislaves. Was the fireworks they think?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And that so was the eating fire eating was up
and eaton canyon and it was.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And the fire there's video of it starting just right
there at the power line, the transmission line, you know,
the power pole.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Am I correct on that?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Amy?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, thank you. Whenever I ask Amy if I am correct,
she has to say yes. It's in the contract. So
I just want to point that out. Why don't we take.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
A break when you demand a gold star on your
paperwork that it gets a little yes. So there is
a notorious cyber criminal group called Scattered Spider, and they
are incredible being aggressive. They use their efforts to extort
or embarrass victims. Right well, they've shifted their attention to
(23:08):
the aviation industry and apparently they've successfully breached the computer
networks of multiple airlines like here in the United States
and Canada this month. So the FBI is responding to
the hacks. So far, it has an effected airline safety
or anything, but major airlines across the United States are
(23:30):
on alert because of this.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And this is a lot of this is not only malware,
but they extort people straight out. And these companies will
never tell us how much they pay in ransom ever.
Remember any there are stories about these first hospitals and
little towns, municipalities are getting nailed. We got some idea
(23:57):
of how much money they would pay to gain at
their files back to be able to use their computer
system again. Now, if you're talking major, major companies, all
of a sudden, everybody is very quiet.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Interesting is probably mega million?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Oh yeah, Sinaloa is just diabolical. A Mexican drug cartel
apparently hired a hacker to follow the movements of a
senior FBI official in Mexico City. Gathered information from the
city's camera system, was able to see calls made and
(24:36):
received by the FBI official, was able to geo locate them,
and the FBI official was investigating Cineloa cartel boss etl Choppo.
The Justice Department inspector general said that did they kill him?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Yeah? They killed them.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, the cartel. It's incredible how powerful the carteler. Well,
first of all, they own Mexico, or they did, They
owned the judges, the how many attorney generals were put
into prison, They owned local mayors, and now they're well
no surprise, wow. I mean there's Mexico for you and
(25:21):
the cartels and the Mexican government blames us because we're
the ones that are buying all these drugs.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And they're right.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Because where are the customers? And we're not saying no,
All right, sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Moving on, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Canada says, hey, we can work this out. They'll rescind
a digital service tax, a way of taxing online companies
and all that. It's government said just yesterday in a
bid to restart trade negotiations with we the people here
in the United States.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So tit for tat they're playing, remember, Canada says nope,
and there start taxing, and Trump says, that's it, We're
stopping all negotiations.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Although the president has a point.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Canada charges four hundred dollars four hundred percent duties on
dairy products coming in from the United States to protect
its own dairy industry. And when you talk about reciprocal taxes,
I don't think that's particularly unfair. Now it's naive because
you know, there's nothing even about taxes because there are
(26:32):
some countries that produce things we desperately need and others
that we sell to.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But if everybody tax the same on everything, you have
a free market. But you can't do that. You know,
the world doesn't work that way.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Unfortunately, Lebron is back.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Lebron James is going to be back with the Lakers
for a twenty third season.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
He accepted a.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Fifty two point six million dollar option to return to
the team again. He gets to play another year with
his son Bronnie, even though it's they're calling it a
rebuilding year, but he's like, oh, we think we have
a realistic chance of winning it all. And there was
also there's some talk that he might be trying to
hold out long enough so he can also say play
(27:17):
with his second son, Bryce, who becomes eligible for next
year's NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Now, is Bryce could enough to play pro ball?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okayly Bronnie is because Bronnie is playing pro ball.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right, I'm not a sports guy. What do I know?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Someone will email me he's a good basketball player.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Thank you, very very helpful.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, all right. Editor in chief of American Vogue and
A Win Tour is stepping down and seeking a replacement,
So she told staffers on Thursday that she will exit
the US edition's top role. She's not leaving Condy Nast
or Vogue altogether, just kind of scaling back her duties.
(28:05):
She'll remain on their global editorial as their global editorial director.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
That is, I do not understand what a big deal
this is. You know how this became international news. I mean,
I'm a fashion plate, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I I'm sorry, you know what you know what fashion means? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah? Yeah, going to Costco, you know, buying the knockoffs. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Matter of fact, I have to go to Costco in
a couple of days. I have to buy some socks.
But yeah, I just I just don't understand.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
What a big deal it is.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I do, however, understand China's version of Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Amy, Let's finish it up with that.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Starbucks may get a run for its money because Luck
and Coffee is opening its first two locations today. Both
of them are in New York City. Luck and Coffee,
based out of China, has successful built a loyal fall
by targeting gen Z coffee drinkers with TikTok worthy drinks
at affordable prices about thirty percent cheaper than Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
It was founded in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Focuses on catering to young people with mostly takeout booths
and cashless payments.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, you got to use mobile phones place orders. That's
technology for young people, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And marijuana is going to kill you with heart disease.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, there's that too. That's a story we're going to
do now.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I now quite often and someone is all stores asked me,
do you want to use your phone to pay for this?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And I see my phone costs one thousand dollars? Why
would I pay you with my phone? That doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
No, it's a nap. Oh s ap on the phone.
Oh you don't he with them the phone?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Oh? I completely misunderstand how this stuff works. Why don't
we take a break?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Did you give people your whole wallet before the phone?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I use a wallet, I mean I use a wallet,
but I don't pay with my wallet.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's a very good point.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
No, but because I my wallet is on my phone,
so I know I'm not going to use my phone
to pay for the wallet because I know what a
wallet app is, but my phone, They go, would you
like to pay with your phone?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And I know, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Uh, that's the Southern states other than Texas, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, I'm trying to think who goes straight for a
dry rub? I mean yeah, I don't know. Actually, off
the top of my head, you.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Ever had the barbecue from the south, the yellow based
I can't remember what the base?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So called mustard isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Mustard in it? But that's that's not the whole thing
that makes it yellow.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Oh. I made a pork roast yesterday on my big
Green egg and I.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Just roast it yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Uh huh, Yes, pork loin uh, it was a loin.
Tender loin piece are great.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They have those at Costco.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Oh guess where I got mine? Of course, two packs.
I think that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They come in two packs and everyone actually is a
two pack within a two pack?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No it is, it's anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I use mustard on it, and it was, and then
I put the the spice is very.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Very strong, very and they're underrated, like people, don't you know?
Who turned me onto them is Ray Lopez from the
Cobalt Show. I was going, I just said, you know,
on I'm bored with what I've been grilling. What are
you doing? And he because he loves to grill, and
he's like, I'm doing porkloin and I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I love it. I love it. You know who
turned me onto porkloin? My Rabbi Amy? Good morning, Hi Bill,
and good morning?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh and was? I asked her, so this weekend did
you work at Sofi? She goes, yeah, the weekend? I go, no,
I understand the weekend you worked at Sofi?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I get it. You have to tell me again.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So who was playing? She went, well, the weekend? I
go wait a minute, this sounds like who's on first, right,
and it was The Weekend a group. What kind of
music do they player? He's a singer?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yes? Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The Weekend is a singer, yes, yes, who doesn't play
Monday through Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He did actually play last Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And sold out, right, yeah, sixty to sixty people.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
He did the super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
He is awesome, all right, So much for that. What
else did I do yesterday?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I did that event that Lawyer's Philharmonic.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Great girl, how was that?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It was wonderful? I enjoy it so much. There is
a Mike maguire who is a singer.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He is he's a practicing attorney and he has won
a Tony Award and it was he's that good of
a singer. He opened it limits and won a Tony Award.
When it opened up, he was a lead, and so
I introduced him and I said, you know, we went
through all the attorneys in southern California who won Tony's,
(05:04):
and the first three couldn't make it. The next two
just didn't want to show up. So we finally got
to Mike McGuire. His voice is un believable.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He is so good all right.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
See don't you take your daughters for their birthday?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I did?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
How they take my daughters?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They didn't now, actually because I told them that Taylor
Swift was going to show up and I admitted that
they weren't.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now they did great. They really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's a fun show. It's been a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, it's a It is a fun show. Okay, let's
do it, guys. We've got a lot going. Oh man,
the Senate is voting. They have not yet voted. Have
they done the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
No, they're going to start voting soon.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, we'll see what well it's going to go, of course,
because even even the Republicans who have a problem with
it are going to fall in line. The only one
that isn't well, Rama always votes to gin everything, against
anything that spends money and tell us, tell us, I
think of North Carolina. Oh said he's going to vote
against it. And Trump said, real simple, I'm going to
(06:10):
go after you. I'm going to primary you out. And
he said, I quit.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I'm not going to get re elected. You can primary
me out all you want. I'm not running for re election.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
So that seems to me the only way to if
you're a Republican to go against Trump. So we'll see
what happens today. I think he's going to get it.
You know, there's no question.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
There's several there's several votes today they're voting on the
amendments that they've passed. So it's of they're calling it
a vote rama.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, in the end, he's going to get the majority
of what he wants. There's just no question about it.
It's just but you know, but presidents were able to
do that, pull springs.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what was able to pull that off was LBJ.
LBJ twisted arms.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's how he got the Civil Rights Bill passed in
nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now, he didn't threaten with.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
He didn't threaten with primarying out because he had been
in Congress for so long. He basically threatened these senators
was showing the public pictures of the goats that they
were screwing and embarrassing the hell out of them. So
different way of twisting arms. All right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's time for handle on the news. Amy and Neil
and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And it is exactly that the Senate, it just narrowly,
narrowly advanced the voting I think by a couple of votes,
and that was lawmakers voted fifty one to forty nine
to open debate nine d and forty page megabill, which
Chuck Schumer, who has the right to do that, said,
(07:55):
I want the clerk to read every single word of
a nine hundred and forty page document.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Took fifteen hours. Weren't people throw with that one?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
But the question is did all the senators have to
be there?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't. Didn't show you know, you didn't.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The video did not show how many were there because
usually whenever you see the speakers in front of the house,
you know, at the lectern, or a senator at the
front doing his statement, his or her statement, there's nobody there.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's for the camera. There are three people in the audience.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
That is the equivalent of your show for five days.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
That's correct, where I'm speaking all week. That's right, I'm
speaking to the five of you. Yeah, that's our audience.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Moving on, still hammering.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Russia has launched its largest aerial attack against Ukraine. Five
hundred and thirty seven aerial weapons were launched at Ukraine.
Four hundred and seventy seven drones and decoys and sixty missiles.
Ukraine's Air Force says that of those two hundred and
forty nine were shot down, two hundred twenty six were lost.
Apparently they can electronically jam them so they don't go off.
(09:12):
The onslaught was what it calls the most massive air
strike on Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full scale
invasion in February of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's not doing well now, Ukraine, and unfortunately for Ukraine,
all of the.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Attention has shifted over to Iran, and Ukraine's getting lost
in the shuffle.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And the president is not that close to Iran or
a Zelenski, very close to Netanyahu and Israel.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
No surprise there, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Republican Senator Tom Tillis, as we were talking about earlier
of North Carolina and now Sunday, you can't fire me.
I quit sort of. He's not seeking reelection next year,
and this comes a day after he was is one
of the only what two Republicans who voted against advancing
President Donald Trump's sweeping, big, beautiful, hugely bigly agenda bill.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, seven o'clock, I'm gonna go through some of the
provisions of the bill, but you don't vote against Donald
Trump if.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You're a Republicans. That simple.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
If you do, first of all, you are a trader
to the Constitution, which, by the way, I'm not kidding either.
Donald Trump is the cost Constitution and he will tell
you that. And as soon as Tillis voted no because
of provision to Medicaid and I'll explain more about that.
(10:42):
At seven o'clock, President said, I'm gonna you want to
be re elected, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
To primary you out if you vote against me, and
you did, You're going to pay.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And at that point Tillis said, I'm not running again.
Now the realistically, he had a tough fight last time around.
He almost lost the last time, so it's going to
be one of the toughest Senate races. That seat is
one of the most vulnerable in the country. So he's
out and Trump's threat isn't a threat anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Just isn't all right?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Moving on, no fences required.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Plans are moving forward for Florida to open their Alligator
Alcatraz in the Everglades. The facility is going to have
temporary structures, heavy duty tents, trailers to house detained immigrants.
The state says that by early July, it'll have five
thousand immigration detention beds in operation. And they're calling it
(11:41):
Alligator Alcatraz because it is in the middle of the Everglades.
Everglades do they say they don't even need fences or
anything because you know, there's alligators in the swamps around it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
DeSantis said, outright, if you try to escape, you will
be eaten straight out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It would be great if we could use it for
like rapists, murderers and things like that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and there's a little bit of controversy there, but
isn't there always, and DeSantis being one of the most
i would guess, the most vocal of the anti illegal
immigration folks out there in terms of both governor and
any elected official.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The crazy ass story unfolding yesterday. Gunman ambushed and shot
dead to firefighters. They were responding to a forest fire
in northern Idaho and it you know, they believed that
he actually the suspects started the fire and it was
a total ambush. And then the cops come and they
(12:46):
have exchanging gunfire. The guy is shooting with a long rifle,
you know, sniper positioning, and they were under fire for
quite some time. More than three hundred law enforcement officers
from the city, county, state, federal levels responding to the scene.
The guy, the suspect, was found dead right now. They
(13:07):
don't know if it was through a police fire or
if he took his own life.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Either way, he's dead, but now killing two.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, and another one almost fighters.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Fighting for his life.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's just it's a horrific story, it really.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Is, and no one's it's so unusual that people are
just shaking their heads. I mean, firefighters, it's you know,
they don't carry weapons, they're not a threat, and yet
here's what happens.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I think we may soon see a lot of journalists
in jail.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
President Trump says he's weighing his options and wants to
force or may want afford journalists who published the leaked
details of a US intelligence report that said that the
strike against Iran wasn't as effective as he claimed. He
said his administration may prosecute those reporters and sources if
(14:02):
they don't comply, and then he also told Maria Bartiromo
on Fox News yesterday that the Iranian.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Facilities were successfully crippled.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
He says the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles. Despite
Iranian assertions that the military had moved the actually the
material had been moved before the strikes.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hey, Amy, let me ask you, you're a newsperson.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
How successful do you think that threat is going to
work amongst newspeople or are they going to simply say
uh uh, that's no sources.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That they're going to just they'll take a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
There was a story I know back in the seventies
with a reporter for the Herald Examiner who.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Was asked to release the source as to some criminal event,
and he said no.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He was indicted by the grand jury and he and
the judge held him in contempt and he spent eighteen
months in jail because he wouldn't really reveal a source.
And the only reason he got out is because the
grand juries there what are they looking for? The time
they were in session? It was an eighteen month session
(15:15):
of the grand jury. And when then that disappeared, When
that went away, then that indictment, that contempt citation went away.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Eighteen months he spent in prison.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well how much longer does Trump have an office?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Three and a half years?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, yeah, And I'm willing to bet that too. Reporters,
sources are so SACRISANCT. So SACRISANCT that they're willing to
go to prison.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But what was that one about.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I owe some sources to some criminal event. I don't
remember specifically.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Because they just remember him going to put criminality to
it or what this. Yeah, so what.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
He's going to basically, of course it's going to make
a criminal. You don't tell the sources we're going to
prosecute you to put you in prison.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
It's like it's they would say it's national security, exactly, It's.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Not national security.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
They are really really so.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You think national security? For example, I don't think that
a demonstration in Los Angeles is a rebellion against the
government of the United States.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, it was a that was a vote of no
confidence for Captain Hairdo and Bass. So you guys don't
take care of any any and we don't. We don't
take a rebellion. It's not whether they did it or not.
It doesn't matter, all.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Right, Well, you and I can agree to disagree or
repeat to or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I just think that forcing a journalist is a massive thing,
and it would be for something that was really, you know,
put us in danger as a nation that doesn't Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, no, I agreed.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Does the whole concept of forcing journalists to reveal their
sources that is sacricinct to the press.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Agree.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
In the States and.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The way the press is a lot today. I mean
they'll use that as you know where it does a
badge of honor.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, that's good, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Jim Acosta in jail for forty two months, he'd love it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You're right, you probably would, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett dished out six a billion with
a bee in Berkshire Hathaway shares to five charities just
on Saturday. This is the biggest annual donation nearly twenty years.
And you know it's a dip in the bucket or
dropping the bucket rather of his one hundred and fifty
(17:40):
two billion estimating net worth. But you know he's he's
pledged that he's going to donate his wealth.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
A couple things about Warren Buffett, very interesting guy. First
of all, he is leaving all of his money to
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And the reason is
why would he set up another foundation and all of
the bureaucracy and have employees when the Gates are already
doing that job.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So he says here, you just take it all.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And we talked about ninety nine point what nine to
five percent of his wealth. I interviewed his son Peter
a few years ago and I said, your dad's one
of the wealthiest men in the world, so you're probably
going to get some money.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He goes, are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
If we get a million dollars each, the siblings, we
will be thrilled. Wow, because from day one Warren buff said,
you want a bicycle, you go out and buy a bicycle.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
You work for it. A very interesting guy, to say
the least.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Thanks for an interesting Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, and no, they get Christmas presents like any other
moderately successful business person would give children.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Their children are Buffet's children all very successful.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, they all do very well.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No, that's because daddy's giving him everything.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I mean they don't do, you know daddy well, but
they all make a good living. I think Peter's a
documentary filmmaker if I remember correctly, and he lives in
the same house he's lived for forty years, fifty years.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean it's a nice house.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You know, there's a nice neighborhood and you know, maybe
four or five thousand square feet but he doesn't live
like a billionaire. He doesn't have five hundred million dollar yachts,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Before the clock runs out again, there may be a
buyer for TikTok. President Trump said yesterday we have a
buyer for TikTok. By the way, I think I'll need
probably China approval, and I think President she will probably
do it. He made the announcement yesterday, wouldn't say who
it was, but said he'll tell us in about two weeks.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
He said, it's a group of very wealthy people, all right, and.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That enables TikTok to still remain in the United States.
Otherwise it would be gone. Remember when they took themselves
offline and the outcry was unbelievable. So it came back,
and now it's on his third go round, and I
think they have to find one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh, here is a fun story deal.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, so this man talking about giving away wealth. One
man's final wishes was to show his community, you know, love,
and he wanted to do it with a cash drop
from the sky. So on Friday, June twenty seventh, around
one pm there in East Detroit, man's last request was
fulfilled when a helicopter dropped thousands of dollars in cash
(20:40):
onto pedestrians down below. And you know, from what I read,
everybody got a little bit. There wasn't like pushing, screaming.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And do you believe that?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Do you believe cash coming down and no one is
going to go for it and push.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
People out of the way. Beautiful there was, well, yeah,
someone said it was really beautiful. Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Cynical on a Monday, this much cynicism.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Huh Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, because Tuesday through Thursday.
I'm not cynical.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm just a man, can hope.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah. Edison is fesced up to a flaw.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
They're saying that our lawyers are saying that both the
Saddle Ridge fire in twenty nineteen and the Hearst fire
were started because there is improper grounding that has been
done by so Cal Edison, and that comes after so
Cal Edison admitted that its equipment may have ignited the
(21:43):
Hurst fire, which was the one that broke out near
Silmar around the same time that the fires in Pacific
Palisades and Altadena were burning. But they're saying lawyers are saying, Hey,
the same problem started the fire in twenty nineteen called
the saddle Ridge fire. For Edison is saying Nope, we
didn't start that one. Yeah, admitted to the one this time.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
In the meantime. The Palisades fire is.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I've seen that videotape of the fire igniting right there
next to one of the power poles.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
The Palisades or the eating Palislaves. Was the fireworks they think?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And that so was the eating fire eating was up
and eaton canyon and it was.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And the fire there's video of it starting just right
there at the power line, the transmission line, you know,
the power pole.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Am I correct on that?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Amy?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, thank you. Whenever I ask Amy if I am correct,
she has to say yes. It's in the contract. So
I just want to point that out. Why don't we take.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
A break when you demand a gold star on your
paperwork that it gets a little yes. So there is
a notorious cyber criminal group called Scattered Spider, and they
are incredible being aggressive. They use their efforts to extort
or embarrass victims. Right well, they've shifted their attention to
(23:08):
the aviation industry and apparently they've successfully breached the computer
networks of multiple airlines like here in the United States
and Canada this month. So the FBI is responding to
the hacks. So far, it has an effected airline safety
or anything, but major airlines across the United States are
(23:30):
on alert because of this.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And this is a lot of this is not only malware,
but they extort people straight out. And these companies will
never tell us how much they pay in ransom ever.
Remember any there are stories about these first hospitals and
little towns, municipalities are getting nailed. We got some idea
(23:57):
of how much money they would pay to gain at
their files back to be able to use their computer
system again. Now, if you're talking major, major companies, all
of a sudden, everybody is very quiet.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Interesting is probably mega million?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Oh yeah, Sinaloa is just diabolical. A Mexican drug cartel
apparently hired a hacker to follow the movements of a
senior FBI official in Mexico City. Gathered information from the
city's camera system, was able to see calls made and
(24:36):
received by the FBI official, was able to geo locate them,
and the FBI official was investigating Cineloa cartel boss etl Choppo.
The Justice Department inspector general said that did they kill him?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Yeah? They killed them.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, the cartel. It's incredible how powerful the carteler. Well,
first of all, they own Mexico, or they did, They
owned the judges, the how many attorney generals were put
into prison, They owned local mayors, and now they're well
no surprise, wow. I mean there's Mexico for you and
(25:21):
the cartels and the Mexican government blames us because we're
the ones that are buying all these drugs.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And they're right.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Because where are the customers? And we're not saying no,
All right, sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Moving on, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Canada says, hey, we can work this out. They'll rescind
a digital service tax, a way of taxing online companies
and all that. It's government said just yesterday in a
bid to restart trade negotiations with we the people here
in the United States.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So tit for tat they're playing, remember, Canada says nope,
and there start taxing, and Trump says, that's it, We're
stopping all negotiations.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Although the president has a point.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Canada charges four hundred dollars four hundred percent duties on
dairy products coming in from the United States to protect
its own dairy industry. And when you talk about reciprocal taxes,
I don't think that's particularly unfair. Now it's naive because
you know, there's nothing even about taxes because there are
(26:32):
some countries that produce things we desperately need and others
that we sell to.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But if everybody tax the same on everything, you have
a free market. But you can't do that. You know,
the world doesn't work that way.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Unfortunately, Lebron is back.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Lebron James is going to be back with the Lakers
for a twenty third season.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
He accepted a.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Fifty two point six million dollar option to return to
the team again. He gets to play another year with
his son Bronnie, even though it's they're calling it a
rebuilding year, but he's like, oh, we think we have
a realistic chance of winning it all. And there was
also there's some talk that he might be trying to
hold out long enough so he can also say play
(27:17):
with his second son, Bryce, who becomes eligible for next
year's NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Now, is Bryce could enough to play pro ball?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Don't know?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okayly Bronnie is because Bronnie is playing pro ball.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right, I'm not a sports guy. What do I know?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Someone will email me he's a good basketball player.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Thank you, very very helpful.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, all right. Editor in chief of American Vogue and
A Win Tour is stepping down and seeking a replacement,
So she told staffers on Thursday that she will exit
the US edition's top role. She's not leaving Condy Nast
or Vogue altogether, just kind of scaling back her duties.
(28:05):
She'll remain on their global editorial as their global editorial director.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
That is, I do not understand what a big deal
this is. You know how this became international news. I mean,
I'm a fashion plate, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I I'm sorry, you know what you know what fashion means? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah? Yeah, going to Costco, you know, buying the knockoffs. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Matter of fact, I have to go to Costco in
a couple of days. I have to buy some socks.
But yeah, I just I just don't understand.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
What a big deal it is.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I do, however, understand China's version of Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Amy, Let's finish it up with that.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Starbucks may get a run for its money because Luck
and Coffee is opening its first two locations today. Both
of them are in New York City. Luck and Coffee,
based out of China, has successful built a loyal fall
by targeting gen Z coffee drinkers with TikTok worthy drinks
at affordable prices about thirty percent cheaper than Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
It was founded in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Focuses on catering to young people with mostly takeout booths
and cashless payments.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, you got to use mobile phones place orders. That's
technology for young people, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And marijuana is going to kill you with heart disease.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, there's that too. That's a story we're going to
do now.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I now quite often and someone is all stores asked me,
do you want to use your phone to pay for this?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And I see my phone costs one thousand dollars? Why
would I pay you with my phone? That doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
No, it's a nap. Oh s ap on the phone.
Oh you don't he with them the phone?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Oh? I completely misunderstand how this stuff works. Why don't
we take a break?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Did you give people your whole wallet before the phone?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I use a wallet, I mean I use a wallet,
but I don't pay with my wallet.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's a very good point.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
No, but because I my wallet is on my phone,
so I know I'm not going to use my phone
to pay for the wallet because I know what a
wallet app is, but my phone, They go, would you
like to pay with your phone?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And I know, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
