You know, I get calls on not just bury them.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well yeah, or you send them off to the glue
factory or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't think they do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, I don't think they do. You know when I
I don't get very sentimental about it. I told you
about little Suki when she died. We had to take
her in and everybody was you know, I had to
put her down, and the vat I don't know if
you I'll repeat the story.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But I take her in. The vet says, do you
want to hold her? Why? Well, I inject her. I
said yeah. And so she's looking at me. She is dying.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
With those eyes and just they start to close, and
the vet has the stethoscope and he says, she's gone,
a wonderful vet. And then he said, would you like
us to take her? Would you want to take her yourself?
I go, what am I going to do with the
dead dog? And the tech said, this vet has been
(02:35):
practicing for twenty five years. He has never seen anything
so catless.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
In his life. Did you say you should see my feet? Oh? Yeah?
So anyways we were we're dead. Oh, handle on the law.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I get a call from a woman who and
this wasn't about a dead dog.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He was a dead person.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It was cremated in their ashes and the entire and
the family, every every part of the family wanted some
of the dead ashes or some of the ashes, and
one of the sister had them all and she said,
uh uh you know. The sister who had him said,
I don't know what to do. They're threatening lawsuits. I
don't like them. My relative who I have the ashes
(03:22):
didn't like these people, and so you know what do
I do? Said, do you have a fireplace? Give them
all the all the ashes they want?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So, yeah, how would they prove you do DNA on ashes?
That's the whole point.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And you know you have little bits of uh you know,
little bits of bone and teeth.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They go how hard do you think that is? You know,
do they really have bones and teeth in them?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, well they have little bits and pieces.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
When they cremate, yeah yeah, he said, Oh, you go
out get little bits of bonus.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Buried my dad the old fashioned way. Yeah, I buried
my mom and my dad. That's another fun story. God,
we have all these fun stories. And when my mom
died and she was ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Fun story, his fun story be dead. Get the rim
shot ready, this is this is Friday.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So when my mom died, we were at the at
the cemetery and there's no one there because everybody she
knew was dead.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
She was ninety eight, so it was just a family.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And the mortuary came up to me and said, you know,
I'm not that it's totally necessary, but we'd like to
dot our eyes and cross our te's we do you
do you mind going over and identifying your mom and
saying that it's your mom? And I said, yeah, I'll
do it. And Marjorie literally put her hand on my
shoulder and said, no, I'll do it because she knew.
(04:57):
She knew that I was going to go up there
and look down and go, this is not my mother.
What are you guys do?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Who the hell is this? Oh? Did did Marjorie get
along with Muhamma?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, yeah they got along. Maybe she wanted the last
words and maybe yeah she got a lot lot closer.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, I got so many dead stories about my dad
and just very very funny stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Oh, let's do it, you know, funny funeral Fridays.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Let's do it anyway, uh neil? Good morning? Yeah, and
and good morning, good morning?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Maybe hi Bill, hi kono, good morning, and will running
around someplace? Hello, well, good morning, good morning. Everybody is
very loose and fun today. Okay, Uh, let's do it.
We got a lot to talk about today because there's
some big things that happening out there. So let's get
right into handle on the news with Amy and with
(06:03):
me and with Neil lead story.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well n'atagnelle who.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Is well, he's nuts, that's for starters and a warmonger.
And now he's come up with this plan to take
over Gaza completely, an occupation army taking over Gaza. Now
he did say not for the long term, because he
and other members of the war cabinet want to set
up an independent government in Gaza and it is going
(06:36):
to be ruled or governed by Arab countries that agree
together to rule Gaza.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
First of all, Palestine is being recognized by more and
more countries. It should be recognized. The issue is how
much you have the West Bank business and all of that,
and where the capital is going to be. But really,
are you going to tell the people saying will we're
going to occupy you and we're going to tell you
who your government is going to be and what the
rules are going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Isn't the capital situation one of the biggest issues?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, it is. Both of them, both of them are
claiming Jerusalem.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, although Jerusalem is split split East and West, so
it wouldn't be that hard because you have East Jerusalem,
which is Arab and or Palestinian. You have West Jerusalem,
which is controlled by Israel. So I, you know, I
don't see it that one as being horrific. I look
at it just the country itself and Hamas, and it's
(07:35):
all And Nettie who says this is about Hamas a
terrorist organization that is there, that its main objective.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Is to destroy Israel. It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
God's kind of hard to argue with. And then you
have all of the settlements in the West Bank. Five
hundred thousand Israelis are there, so you know, it's it's
it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But anyway, he is now saying he's got.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
A plan to take over a gaza. Let me tell
you how thrilled the army is. The army is all
reservists of the Israeli Army are reservists, and they have
jobs and they're going to school, and they.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Are now.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
In the army and they're in Gaza and it's it's
not fun.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Some have done several deployments, but there's nothing left to do.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I mean, what was he gonna do? Just keep bombing
and bombing and bombing.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's exactly what he's gonna do until Hamas is completely gone.
And Hamas is prepared to lose every single Palestinian and
Netanyahu is prepared to kill every Palestinian.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
To get to Hamas.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Do I believe that it's genocide that they are, that
Israel is there to wipe out the Palestinians.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I do not. I think they're there to wipe out Hamas.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But when you've got a country that it's that dense,
one of the densest country in the world, and Hamas
is completely embedded, I mean, it's the whole thing is
a mess.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, Yeah, that was quick.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, we got continued trouble with the tap. More than
ninety two hundred DWP customers in Granada Hill's Porter Ranch
still without water thanks to that broken underground valve, and
they're saying that the repairs are taking longer than they anticipated.
The pipes buried about twenty feet deep and that's ever
(09:30):
they have to get to it to fix the valve
in it. And in the meantime, they're trying to kind
of come up with a fix. Mayre Baths has sent
some fire trucks to the area. They've got water stations
set up and people are going and just getting water, bottled,
bottled water because they're being told not to use the
taps at all, don't flush the toilet, don't take a shower.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Do you really care? I don't. What do you mean?
I don't live there. Okay, you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Live don't flush the toilet. Now that gets interesting, doesn't it. Well,
here's the thing. If it's yellow, let it melow. No. Yeah, no,
I just was trying to That was an official statement. Yes,
at one point when we were in a drought city.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, okay, uh, you know, speaking of drought and water
and everything else. The heat wave that has been going
on is now causing you know, fire conditions, intense fire conditions,
and we're starting to see them pop up. You got
a massively quickly quick moving fire growing in the Ventura,
(10:38):
Los Angeles county line area, and then yesterday Piru Caustic.
All these places were looking towards the possibility of an
extreme fire growth be because of this, and it's here.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It is here in the heat one hundred and seventeen
degrees in Phoenix, yesterday. I mean you and like basically
zero percent humidity, I mean nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Oh well, it was probably one hundred degrees yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was in Woodland Hills yesterday visiting my daughter and
it was one hundred and four degrees in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's intense. So how about those facts
growing quickly? Yeah, and you're going to see a lot more.
How about those fires in Canada? Have those gone out?
Have you seen the video of the smog clouds? The
smoke clouds over Detroit, over New York Chicago looks like
pea soup.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Amy. We've been reporting on fires in Canada for two years.
Have they gone out yet? Or is it the same
fire that just burns for years?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know that's so interesting because I was just thinking
the same thing. I'm like, didn't they put those out?
It's like they've just been going and going. I'm not
one hundred percent sure because we don't hear about them
that often. There's not like constant reporting on them because
other things come into the news cycle.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
We'll have to find out when they're going to be
oot oot.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Taking it to the highest court, the Trump administration is
asking the Supreme Court to stop a court order that
restricts immigrant immigration stops that well, at least two US
citizens in southern California have been swept up in these raids.
We know that like forty two hundred people have been
arrested since they started them. The Appeals Court refused to
(12:19):
lift a temporary restraining order that would have allowed the
immigration raids to keep going as per normal. So now
the Trump administration is going to the Supreme Court to
try to get that ruling.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, here's the issue, and that is the Trump administration
ice is accused of going after these people, picking them
up simply because they're Latino and they speak Spanish. And
the civil libertarians and obviously people that are pro immigrant
are saying that that is racist. You can't do it,
it's unconstitutional. The argument that Trump administration has, and I
(12:54):
think it's an argument if ninety five percent of illegal
immigration is Hispanic and virtually everybody in front of a
home depot is illegal over the course of the history
that they can prove it, isn't that suspicious enough? And
the courts are saying, no, you can't stop them because
(13:16):
of that. You can only stop them on reasonable suspicion
and that's some kind of evidence or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So I can see the argument that they have.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's not just because people speak Spanish. I mean, how
about white let me ask you white people that speak Spanish.
Let's say you're fluent in Spanish, Neil, Well, no, you're
a Hispanic, so you'd be picked up. And let's say
you were completely fluent in Spanish, you wouldn't be picked up.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Probably not. That's my point.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Spanish, Espanol, Spanish is a European language, not here, it's
not I know. But that's why his span That's why
the term Hispanic is complicated, because it means people who
speaks Spanish essentially, and if you have someone from Spain,
(14:06):
they are not a person of color and they're they're
they're Hispanic, but they're not Latino.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm Latino, No.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yes I am. I am legally Latino. No I am
for the purposes of this station. You remember when they
I don't know if they had a quota system whatever,
but the FCC want to know who was Hispanic, what
different ethnicities worked at the station.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They put me down as Latino, but you're not. I
think Brazilian.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I was born in Brazil, which makes me an official
according to US law, or at least US procedures.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm Latino, and they will pick me up, by the way,
but only because I'm me. I hope they do.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Okay, moving on, this is crazy. If you have any
app to lets you know what's going on in your neighborhood,
and there are coyotes that it just is going off
all the time. Coyotes, coyotes, And then in my neighborhood
it's coyotes and ice. Those are the only two things
I see coming up on my neighborhood. Ice around the
corner and coyotes. This story just brings it home. You
(15:12):
had a coyote that attacked a six year old boy
in a park in Carson. He's watching his sister's softball game,
and the animal came up and brutally attacked the boy,
came up behind and bit him in the back of
the head.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I believe off the lea, this is so unusual.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I mean, does this happen twice a year in the
United States.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think the fear is that that it's happening, it's
happening more, or that it's getting closer and closer and closer.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They come up and down my driveway constantly and set
off our security cameras constantly, and lights coming up and
they all over the place. And I've seen parts of
cats in my you okay, and no that's nature man
(16:08):
and parts of cats in my driveway.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And I lived next door Persian Palace. I'll admit it now,
I can say. It was next door to uh, Ashley
Simpson's and what's her face, the other sister, the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Uh, the big one, the big the big star. Yeah, Jessica,
Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Her parents lived next door, and so they would have
wild parties, et cetera. Well, Jessica Simpson, I had this
little white, uh buff, fluffy little dog and it was
eaten by a coyote. Matter of fact, pieces of that
little dog were across our backyard. And so, uh, you know,
she went up in stapled pictures on you know the
(16:49):
missing dog.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Red doorhouses in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, she went up and down the street, and
you know, and when she and when she found out,
you know that we had pieces of that dog in
our backyard. That's our claim to fame. How close are
you to stars? I had pieces of Jessica Simpson's dog
in my backyard.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's a horrible story. A great story, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Solar for All not so much. The US Environmental Protection
Agency is announced it is eliminating a seven billion dollar
grant program designed to help low income households put solar
panels on their homes.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It was called Solar for All.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
It was put in place during the Biden administration part
of its greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and the plan was
for Solar for All to pay for residential solar projects
to more than nine hundred thousand homes. But in a
post on X the EPA administrator Lee Zelden described the
program as a boondoggle in which not enough was actually
(17:53):
going to the solar projects.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, fifteen percent was being lost to I guess administration.
He is only eighty five percent went to solar projects.
Come on, fifteen percent administrative cost. I mean that is low.
That is very low when you talk about administration of
a federal program.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I I.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Would just love if federal programs could give eighty percent
of them, of course, And he I mean they just
want to cut solar.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I mean it's that simple. Why do they and why
do they want to cut solar?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Because the oil and gas interests.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And where do you think the Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Administration is in favor of which industry solar or oil
and gas.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Do they want to cut solder or do they just
not want to have the government pay for it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They Well, at this point, I think is it's the it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is they cut solar. No, they're not going to cut it.
The government won't. The government won't do it. But they're
cutting every incentive for solar. Although that's close. I wish
they had a program. It's a good point, Amy, I
wish they had a program in which they the cost
of electricity through solar would match what the electricity costs
(19:05):
through the grid and then does more. And then the
whole issue is not just the Trump administration. Also Department
of Water and Power and other utilities have cut all
of their payback. It used to be that any unused
energy you would sell back to utilities at almost full cost.
They've cut that one completely, and people are in an uproar,
(19:25):
and I go, what do I care?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You know, do I care about selling back electricity?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I just don't want to pay for electricity, which is
why I have a solar system at home.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
And everything recurred to me that was gonna make money?
Do you use every last drop so that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Every last drop, every last drop, it's good to the
last drop. You know, who stole that folder's coffee.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
From Bill Handle? Right now?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
From dayld thing, because Neil came up with that. They
stole it from Bill Handled. Today they went back in
time in the seventies. Uh, all right, just a little
bit more insight to the Fort Stewart shooting suspect. We
talked about Sergeant Cornelius Radford twenty eight years old yesterday
(20:10):
a little bit. Well, they're finding out some more things,
including that apparently he was bullied a lot. Another sergeant,
Cameron Barrett, also twenty eight, says he got bullied a lot.
He'd be befriended Radford, and he said it was really bad,
to the point where he couldn't talk. He was bullied
for a stutter or some sort of speech impediment of
(20:31):
some kind.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And apparently others would.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Mimic him, Yeah, mimic him, and then it would trigger
him and apparently he would get quiet, didn't show signs
of anger, but from some reports he had this goofy,
playful side and that was you know, taken from him
a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
When were you around.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
When I interviewed the guy from the stuttering organization, don't
think so.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
That was pretty early on in my career.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And he would stutter and I did the interview stuttering
the entire the entire hour.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
What's your your name? Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And he was terrific about it. He thought it was
the funniest damn thing. Uh and uh, laughing with the
stutter is also kind of fun. But anyways, bullying in general,
bullying can really be brutal.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean it, So you just talked about basically bullyings.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
No, no, because I know because he had that kind
of personality. It's like when I talked to the pizza guy,
you know, the head of PETA, and I brought in
a bag full of whoppers and the entire interview I
was eating and spraying him with bits and pieces of
hamburger meat. And he he thought it was terrific. First
of all, they don't care. They just want to get
(21:50):
the word out.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So uh, they're they're the biggest horse in the world,
so they take everything with a lot of humor.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Was great, It was great. He didn't need any By
the way, even though I offered.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Early out is off the table. The Air Force announced
yesterday that it is denying all transgender service members who
have served between fifteen and eighteen years the option to
retire early. If they've been in eighteen years plus they
do qualify for that early retirement. Instead, they will be
(22:23):
separated without retirement benefits. About a dozen service members had
been prematurely notified that they were going to be able
to retire before that decision was reversed.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, this is disgusting. This is absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
First of all, what even with an eighteen year pension,
what do you get three hundred dollars a month. Second
of all, these are people have served and are serving
honorably in our armed services, and because they are trans,
all of a sudden, now we don't want you we
want It's not even we won't accept you in if
we know your trands in the future, it's if you
(22:58):
are trans and servicing now, we're serving now, servicing now,
I know serving now, We're kicking you out.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That takes away human dignity. This is just straight out cruel.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And then dumping that on top of it, that your service,
even though you're being pushed out, the service that you
already have done, is not going to get credited towards
your pension.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well, I think eighteen years is the least amount of pension.
But if you're in, for example, twelve years and you
want to be a lifer, you're out.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You're done. We don't want you in. I mean, that
is pretty horrific. That is I mean, come on, guys,
you know I have some kind of a heart.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
This is a strange story that comes out of a
place that I know very well. Over there in near
Point Magoo State Park. Wednesday night, Venturre County Sheriff's Office
started investigating the death of a man or a woman
apparently forty five year old man unidentified forty six year
old woman unidentified were shot in the Magoo Canyon Rest
(24:05):
area there.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
On the Pacific Coast Highway. And you know, that's near the.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's going the direction as you're as you're going towards
you know, Camerio and things like that. It's near one
of the ends, kind of sort of getting near the
end of PCH there. But it just as a weird story,
no nothing else. Someone you know, came across them a
(24:32):
passerby at seven along the Pacific Coast.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Here's part that.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I find interesting this is an only time story, and
here is part of the story.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I'm going to quote.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The Ventura County Fire Department received a call for two
possible deceased patients or deceased people, and they were dispatched
out to determine if the two people in the car.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Were actually dead.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Two people in a car dead for a couple of
days and it's one hundred degrees outside. Do you think
they needed to go out there to determine if they
were dead.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I think you kind of have to dot your eye
across your teas man.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
EV drivers are losing their carpool privileges. Most likely more
than a million people have those clean Air Vehicle decals
on their electric and hybrid cars and have been free
to cruise carpool lanes with no passengers for years. But
that perk could be coming to an end on September thirtieth.
(25:33):
If there's any hope that it's going to continue, Congress
has to approve it and the President has to sign it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, that's going to happen for California, isn't it. I
have an EV and one of the reasons I bought
an EV is exactly for this.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
The carpool lane have you ever have you ever seen
the video the.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Footage of the Hindenburg in that exploded nineteen thirty seven
in lake Hurst, New Jersey. You know the whole thing,
the Zeppelin exploding, and you remember the radio commentator. This
was live and he was screaming, Oh, the humanity, the
humanity as people were dying.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That's what this is about to you. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Wouldn't it be funny if Trump comes out and he
said that he'll keep it for every EV except teslas.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I don't have a Tesla, no, but it would have
been funny if he just says, yeah, it's just that
would have been funny. No, they're making up. I think
the sticker, but no one is Harry Republic. No one
has these stickers anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I mean who pays no, who pays attention to stickers?
Look at it every Tesla driving, or look at every V.
No one has the stickers. And the cops know what an
EV looks like or not. And the HOA lanes, the
HOV lanes, they don't matter at all. It's they're just
as crowded is the other four lanes of the freeway.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So it doesn't help anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I would like hoa lanes where you could only have
beige cars. Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. Okay, this is
like a YA. And then so violent crimes are falling
or they fell in twenty twenty four, which is the
most recent numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, that's the YA.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And then you look at the numbers here and you know,
assaults on officers are reaching a ten year high. And
you know what and I yeah, I knew this was
going to happen because of the sentiment and the continues
to grow anti law enforcement sentiment.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And this is not good for anybody.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
If law enforcement is being you know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Picked apart or assaulted. Oh they are, then we're also
they leed. They don't even bother with misdemeanors. In many cases,
I get calls all the time, Oh my god, they
won't prosecute I was beat up or someone attacking. You know,
the cops aren't going to prosecute. Why do you think
they care about you? They've got they have much bigger
(28:09):
fish to fry that they're also going to ignore.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So why do you think they're gonna ignore you?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
By the way, just of course, say Donald Trump quote
a campaign last year, crime was way up.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We've never seen crime like this before.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Okay, the Man of Steel is becoming the Man of Ice.
Dean Kine. Of course, Superman from the nineties TV series
Lois and Clark with Terry Hatcher is going to be
sworn in as an ice agent. He is already a
reserve police officer in Saint Anthony and Pocatello in Idaho.
(28:46):
He's also a reserve deputy sheriff with Frederick County, Virginia.
I don't know how you can be in more places
than one, but he says, Superman.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh I heard God, you're right.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Okay, So anyway, he's he said he wants to be
an ice agent.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, and they're gonna let him. He's fifty nine years
old and they're gonna let him. Why because Christino, iim
just completely ignores the age limitation.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's it. We'll take eighty year olds. We don't care people. Yeah,
they have to. They have to. They have to.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And they're giving huge bonuses too if you sign up.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah this guy all right, Okay, so, uh, you've got
victims of Jeffrey Epstein and that would.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Tie in Maxwell as well.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
They're freaking out legitimately because of the the Justice Department
and their their effort to unseal the grand jury testimony
and with cooperation with Max Fell.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And you know that.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
She is saying, nah, stuff like Trump never, I never
thought I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Doing anything, said that I have nothing that put Donald
Trump in any of the situations that we were in.
And strangely enough, after that nine hour conversation with the
Deputy ag, she gets transferred to a minimum security prison
from her medium security prison, which never happens or almost
never happens with sex offenders, and so.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And why would it right, you know, you wouldn't want
to see any lead, onlycy on sex.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Offenders, and so she got.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
And of course the government will not tell us why
the transfer took place. And the President said, I had
no idea. I had absolutely no part of this decision.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know, Trump is a micromanager. So my guess is
they ran it through him.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I would guess, but distinct and there's nothing about it
that But it's so blatant.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It's blatant.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Look at his sons, Eric, and what all of his
other sons are their names are, who are don thank
you very much, who are setting up these businesses in
Saudi Arabia?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You talk about blatant.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The Trump admit the Trump family is making unbelievable amounts
of money.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They're in crypto now, the entire family is in crypto.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
No, it's it is blatant, blaytant to a level we
haven't seen before. We are actually done to a level
we've never seen before. This is KFI A M six forty.

The breaks and stuff. We want to get into multi ball.
So again we were talking about malted balls and the
dogs ashes, yep, dogs ashes, dead dogs.

Very so they.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Won't be around, but you know you want to visit them,
go to the closet and uh yeah, we're not gonna
have bags in boxes of dogs.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You know, I get calls on not just bury them.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well yeah, or you send them off to the glue
factory or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't think they do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, I don't think they do. You know when I
I don't get very sentimental about it. I told you
about little Suki when she died. We had to take
her in and everybody was you know, I had to
put her down, and the vat I don't know if
you I'll repeat the story.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But I take her in. The vet says, do you
want to hold her? Why? Well, I inject her. I
said yeah. And so she's looking at me. She is dying.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
With those eyes and just they start to close, and
the vet has the stethoscope and he says, she's gone,
a wonderful vet. And then he said, would you like
us to take her? Would you want to take her yourself?
I go, what am I going to do with the
dead dog? And the tech said, this vet has been
(02:35):
practicing for twenty five years. He has never seen anything
so catless.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
In his life. Did you say you should see my feet? Oh? Yeah?
So anyways we were we're dead. Oh, handle on the law.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I get a call from a woman who and
this wasn't about a dead dog.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He was a dead person.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It was cremated in their ashes and the entire and
the family, every every part of the family wanted some
of the dead ashes or some of the ashes, and
one of the sister had them all and she said,
uh uh you know. The sister who had him said,
I don't know what to do. They're threatening lawsuits. I
don't like them. My relative who I have the ashes
(03:22):
didn't like these people, and so you know what do
I do? Said, do you have a fireplace? Give them
all the all the ashes they want?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So, yeah, how would they prove you do DNA on ashes?
That's the whole point.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And you know you have little bits of uh you know,
little bits of bone and teeth.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They go how hard do you think that is? You know,
do they really have bones and teeth in them?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, well they have little bits and pieces.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
When they cremate, yeah yeah, he said, Oh, you go
out get little bits of bonus.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Buried my dad the old fashioned way. Yeah, I buried
my mom and my dad. That's another fun story. God,
we have all these fun stories. And when my mom
died and she was ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Fun story, his fun story be dead. Get the rim
shot ready, this is this is Friday.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So when my mom died, we were at the at
the cemetery and there's no one there because everybody she
knew was dead.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
She was ninety eight, so it was just a family.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And the mortuary came up to me and said, you know,
I'm not that it's totally necessary, but we'd like to
dot our eyes and cross our te's we do you
do you mind going over and identifying your mom and
saying that it's your mom? And I said, yeah, I'll
do it. And Marjorie literally put her hand on my
shoulder and said, no, I'll do it because she knew.
(04:57):
She knew that I was going to go up there
and look down and go, this is not my mother.
What are you guys do?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Who the hell is this? Oh? Did did Marjorie get
along with Muhamma?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, yeah they got along. Maybe she wanted the last
words and maybe yeah she got a lot lot closer.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, I got so many dead stories about my dad
and just very very funny stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Oh, let's do it, you know, funny funeral Fridays.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Let's do it anyway, uh neil? Good morning? Yeah, and
and good morning, good morning?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Maybe hi Bill, hi kono, good morning, and will running
around someplace? Hello, well, good morning, good morning. Everybody is
very loose and fun today. Okay, Uh, let's do it.
We got a lot to talk about today because there's
some big things that happening out there. So let's get
right into handle on the news with Amy and with
(06:03):
me and with Neil lead story.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well n'atagnelle who.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Is well, he's nuts, that's for starters and a warmonger.
And now he's come up with this plan to take
over Gaza completely, an occupation army taking over Gaza. Now
he did say not for the long term, because he
and other members of the war cabinet want to set
up an independent government in Gaza and it is going
(06:36):
to be ruled or governed by Arab countries that agree
together to rule Gaza.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
First of all, Palestine is being recognized by more and
more countries. It should be recognized. The issue is how
much you have the West Bank business and all of that,
and where the capital is going to be. But really,
are you going to tell the people saying will we're
going to occupy you and we're going to tell you
who your government is going to be and what the
rules are going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Isn't the capital situation one of the biggest issues?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, it is. Both of them, both of them are
claiming Jerusalem.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, although Jerusalem is split split East and West, so
it wouldn't be that hard because you have East Jerusalem,
which is Arab and or Palestinian. You have West Jerusalem,
which is controlled by Israel. So I, you know, I
don't see it that one as being horrific. I look
at it just the country itself and Hamas, and it's
(07:35):
all And Nettie who says this is about Hamas a
terrorist organization that is there, that its main objective.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Is to destroy Israel. It's true.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
God's kind of hard to argue with. And then you
have all of the settlements in the West Bank. Five
hundred thousand Israelis are there, so you know, it's it's
it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But anyway, he is now saying he's got.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
A plan to take over a gaza. Let me tell
you how thrilled the army is. The army is all
reservists of the Israeli Army are reservists, and they have
jobs and they're going to school, and they.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Are now.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
In the army and they're in Gaza and it's it's
not fun.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Some have done several deployments, but there's nothing left to do.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I mean, what was he gonna do? Just keep bombing
and bombing and bombing.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That's exactly what he's gonna do until Hamas is completely gone.
And Hamas is prepared to lose every single Palestinian and
Netanyahu is prepared to kill every Palestinian.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
To get to Hamas.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Do I believe that it's genocide that they are, that
Israel is there to wipe out the Palestinians.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I do not. I think they're there to wipe out Hamas.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
But when you've got a country that it's that dense,
one of the densest country in the world, and Hamas
is completely embedded, I mean, it's the whole thing is
a mess.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, Yeah, that was quick.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, we got continued trouble with the tap. More than
ninety two hundred DWP customers in Granada Hill's Porter Ranch
still without water thanks to that broken underground valve, and
they're saying that the repairs are taking longer than they anticipated.
The pipes buried about twenty feet deep and that's ever
(09:30):
they have to get to it to fix the valve
in it. And in the meantime, they're trying to kind
of come up with a fix. Mayre Baths has sent
some fire trucks to the area. They've got water stations
set up and people are going and just getting water, bottled,
bottled water because they're being told not to use the
taps at all, don't flush the toilet, don't take a shower.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Do you really care? I don't. What do you mean?
I don't live there. Okay, you don't.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Live don't flush the toilet. Now that gets interesting, doesn't it. Well,
here's the thing. If it's yellow, let it melow. No. Yeah, no,
I just was trying to That was an official statement. Yes,
at one point when we were in a drought city.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, okay, uh, you know, speaking of drought and water
and everything else. The heat wave that has been going
on is now causing you know, fire conditions, intense fire conditions,
and we're starting to see them pop up. You got
a massively quickly quick moving fire growing in the Ventura,
(10:38):
Los Angeles county line area, and then yesterday Piru Caustic.
All these places were looking towards the possibility of an
extreme fire growth be because of this, and it's here.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It is here in the heat one hundred and seventeen
degrees in Phoenix, yesterday. I mean you and like basically
zero percent humidity, I mean nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Oh well, it was probably one hundred degrees yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was in Woodland Hills yesterday visiting my daughter and
it was one hundred and four degrees in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's intense. So how about those facts
growing quickly? Yeah, and you're going to see a lot more.
How about those fires in Canada? Have those gone out?
Have you seen the video of the smog clouds? The
smoke clouds over Detroit, over New York Chicago looks like
pea soup.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Amy. We've been reporting on fires in Canada for two years.
Have they gone out yet? Or is it the same
fire that just burns for years?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know that's so interesting because I was just thinking
the same thing. I'm like, didn't they put those out?
It's like they've just been going and going. I'm not
one hundred percent sure because we don't hear about them
that often. There's not like constant reporting on them because
other things come into the news cycle.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
We'll have to find out when they're going to be
oot oot.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Taking it to the highest court, the Trump administration is
asking the Supreme Court to stop a court order that
restricts immigrant immigration stops that well, at least two US
citizens in southern California have been swept up in these raids.
We know that like forty two hundred people have been
arrested since they started them. The Appeals Court refused to
(12:19):
lift a temporary restraining order that would have allowed the
immigration raids to keep going as per normal. So now
the Trump administration is going to the Supreme Court to
try to get that ruling.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, here's the issue, and that is the Trump administration
ice is accused of going after these people, picking them
up simply because they're Latino and they speak Spanish. And
the civil libertarians and obviously people that are pro immigrant
are saying that that is racist. You can't do it,
it's unconstitutional. The argument that Trump administration has, and I
(12:54):
think it's an argument if ninety five percent of illegal
immigration is Hispanic and virtually everybody in front of a
home depot is illegal over the course of the history
that they can prove it, isn't that suspicious enough? And
the courts are saying, no, you can't stop them because
(13:16):
of that. You can only stop them on reasonable suspicion
and that's some kind of evidence or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So I can see the argument that they have.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's not just because people speak Spanish. I mean, how
about white let me ask you white people that speak Spanish.
Let's say you're fluent in Spanish, Neil, Well, no, you're
a Hispanic, so you'd be picked up. And let's say
you were completely fluent in Spanish, you wouldn't be picked up.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Probably not. That's my point.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Spanish, Espanol, Spanish is a European language, not here, it's
not I know. But that's why his span That's why
the term Hispanic is complicated, because it means people who
speaks Spanish essentially, and if you have someone from Spain,
(14:06):
they are not a person of color and they're they're
they're Hispanic, but they're not Latino.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm Latino, No.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yes I am. I am legally Latino. No I am
for the purposes of this station. You remember when they
I don't know if they had a quota system whatever,
but the FCC want to know who was Hispanic, what
different ethnicities worked at the station.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They put me down as Latino, but you're not. I
think Brazilian.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I was born in Brazil, which makes me an official
according to US law, or at least US procedures.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm Latino, and they will pick me up, by the way,
but only because I'm me. I hope they do.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Okay, moving on, this is crazy. If you have any
app to lets you know what's going on in your neighborhood,
and there are coyotes that it just is going off
all the time. Coyotes, coyotes, And then in my neighborhood
it's coyotes and ice. Those are the only two things
I see coming up on my neighborhood. Ice around the
corner and coyotes. This story just brings it home. You
(15:12):
had a coyote that attacked a six year old boy
in a park in Carson. He's watching his sister's softball game,
and the animal came up and brutally attacked the boy,
came up behind and bit him in the back of
the head.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I believe off the lea, this is so unusual.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I mean, does this happen twice a year in the
United States.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think the fear is that that it's happening, it's
happening more, or that it's getting closer and closer and closer.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
They come up and down my driveway constantly and set
off our security cameras constantly, and lights coming up and
they all over the place. And I've seen parts of
cats in my you okay, and no that's nature man
(16:08):
and parts of cats in my driveway.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And I lived next door Persian Palace. I'll admit it now,
I can say. It was next door to uh, Ashley
Simpson's and what's her face, the other sister, the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Uh, the big one, the big the big star. Yeah, Jessica,
Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Her parents lived next door, and so they would have
wild parties, et cetera. Well, Jessica Simpson, I had this
little white, uh buff, fluffy little dog and it was
eaten by a coyote. Matter of fact, pieces of that
little dog were across our backyard. And so, uh, you know,
she went up in stapled pictures on you know the
(16:49):
missing dog.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Red doorhouses in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, she went up and down the street, and
you know, and when she and when she found out,
you know that we had pieces of that dog in
our backyard. That's our claim to fame. How close are
you to stars? I had pieces of Jessica Simpson's dog
in my backyard.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's a horrible story. A great story, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Solar for All not so much. The US Environmental Protection
Agency is announced it is eliminating a seven billion dollar
grant program designed to help low income households put solar
panels on their homes.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It was called Solar for All.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
It was put in place during the Biden administration part
of its greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and the plan was
for Solar for All to pay for residential solar projects
to more than nine hundred thousand homes. But in a
post on X the EPA administrator Lee Zelden described the
program as a boondoggle in which not enough was actually
(17:53):
going to the solar projects.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, fifteen percent was being lost to I guess administration.
He is only eighty five percent went to solar projects.
Come on, fifteen percent administrative cost. I mean that is low.
That is very low when you talk about administration of
a federal program.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So I I.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Would just love if federal programs could give eighty percent
of them, of course, And he I mean they just
want to cut solar.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I mean it's that simple. Why do they and why
do they want to cut solar?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Because the oil and gas interests.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And where do you think the Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Administration is in favor of which industry solar or oil
and gas.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Do they want to cut solder or do they just
not want to have the government pay for it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They Well, at this point, I think is it's the it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is they cut solar. No, they're not going to cut it.
The government won't. The government won't do it. But they're
cutting every incentive for solar. Although that's close. I wish
they had a program. It's a good point, Amy, I
wish they had a program in which they the cost
of electricity through solar would match what the electricity costs
(19:05):
through the grid and then does more. And then the
whole issue is not just the Trump administration. Also Department
of Water and Power and other utilities have cut all
of their payback. It used to be that any unused
energy you would sell back to utilities at almost full cost.
They've cut that one completely, and people are in an uproar,
(19:25):
and I go, what do I care?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You know, do I care about selling back electricity?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I just don't want to pay for electricity, which is
why I have a solar system at home.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
And everything recurred to me that was gonna make money?
Do you use every last drop so that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Every last drop, every last drop, it's good to the
last drop. You know, who stole that folder's coffee.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
From Bill Handle? Right now?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
From dayld thing, because Neil came up with that. They
stole it from Bill Handled. Today they went back in
time in the seventies. Uh, all right, just a little
bit more insight to the Fort Stewart shooting suspect. We
talked about Sergeant Cornelius Radford twenty eight years old yesterday
(20:10):
a little bit. Well, they're finding out some more things,
including that apparently he was bullied a lot. Another sergeant,
Cameron Barrett, also twenty eight, says he got bullied a lot.
He'd be befriended Radford, and he said it was really bad,
to the point where he couldn't talk. He was bullied
for a stutter or some sort of speech impediment of
(20:31):
some kind.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And apparently others would.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Mimic him, Yeah, mimic him, and then it would trigger
him and apparently he would get quiet, didn't show signs
of anger, but from some reports he had this goofy,
playful side and that was you know, taken from him
a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
When were you around.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
When I interviewed the guy from the stuttering organization, don't
think so.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
That was pretty early on in my career.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
And he would stutter and I did the interview stuttering
the entire the entire hour.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
What's your your name? Uh?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And he was terrific about it. He thought it was
the funniest damn thing. Uh and uh, laughing with the
stutter is also kind of fun. But anyways, bullying in general,
bullying can really be brutal.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean it, So you just talked about basically bullyings.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
No, no, because I know because he had that kind
of personality. It's like when I talked to the pizza guy,
you know, the head of PETA, and I brought in
a bag full of whoppers and the entire interview I
was eating and spraying him with bits and pieces of
hamburger meat. And he he thought it was terrific. First
of all, they don't care. They just want to get
(21:50):
the word out.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So uh, they're they're the biggest horse in the world,
so they take everything with a lot of humor.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Was great, It was great. He didn't need any By
the way, even though I offered.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Early out is off the table. The Air Force announced
yesterday that it is denying all transgender service members who
have served between fifteen and eighteen years the option to
retire early. If they've been in eighteen years plus they
do qualify for that early retirement. Instead, they will be
(22:23):
separated without retirement benefits. About a dozen service members had
been prematurely notified that they were going to be able
to retire before that decision was reversed.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, this is disgusting. This is absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
First of all, what even with an eighteen year pension,
what do you get three hundred dollars a month. Second
of all, these are people have served and are serving
honorably in our armed services, and because they are trans,
all of a sudden, now we don't want you we
want It's not even we won't accept you in if
we know your trands in the future, it's if you
(22:58):
are trans and servicing now, we're serving now, servicing now,
I know serving now, We're kicking you out.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
That takes away human dignity. This is just straight out cruel.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And then dumping that on top of it, that your service,
even though you're being pushed out, the service that you
already have done, is not going to get credited towards
your pension.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well, I think eighteen years is the least amount of pension.
But if you're in, for example, twelve years and you
want to be a lifer, you're out.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You're done. We don't want you in. I mean, that
is pretty horrific. That is I mean, come on, guys,
you know I have some kind of a heart.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
This is a strange story that comes out of a
place that I know very well. Over there in near
Point Magoo State Park. Wednesday night, Venturre County Sheriff's Office
started investigating the death of a man or a woman
apparently forty five year old man unidentified forty six year
old woman unidentified were shot in the Magoo Canyon Rest
(24:05):
area there.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
On the Pacific Coast Highway. And you know, that's near the.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's going the direction as you're as you're going towards
you know, Camerio and things like that. It's near one
of the ends, kind of sort of getting near the
end of PCH there. But it just as a weird story,
no nothing else. Someone you know, came across them a
(24:32):
passerby at seven along the Pacific Coast.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Here's part that.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I find interesting this is an only time story, and
here is part of the story.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I'm going to quote.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The Ventura County Fire Department received a call for two
possible deceased patients or deceased people, and they were dispatched
out to determine if the two people in the car.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Were actually dead.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Two people in a car dead for a couple of
days and it's one hundred degrees outside. Do you think
they needed to go out there to determine if they
were dead.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I think you kind of have to dot your eye
across your teas man.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
EV drivers are losing their carpool privileges. Most likely more
than a million people have those clean Air Vehicle decals
on their electric and hybrid cars and have been free
to cruise carpool lanes with no passengers for years. But
that perk could be coming to an end on September thirtieth.
(25:33):
If there's any hope that it's going to continue, Congress
has to approve it and the President has to sign it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, that's going to happen for California, isn't it. I
have an EV and one of the reasons I bought
an EV is exactly for this.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
The carpool lane have you ever have you ever seen
the video the.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Footage of the Hindenburg in that exploded nineteen thirty seven
in lake Hurst, New Jersey. You know the whole thing,
the Zeppelin exploding, and you remember the radio commentator. This
was live and he was screaming, Oh, the humanity, the
humanity as people were dying.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That's what this is about to you. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Wouldn't it be funny if Trump comes out and he
said that he'll keep it for every EV except teslas.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I don't have a Tesla, no, but it would have
been funny if he just says, yeah, it's just that
would have been funny. No, they're making up. I think
the sticker, but no one is Harry Republic. No one
has these stickers anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I mean who pays no, who pays attention to stickers?
Look at it every Tesla driving, or look at every V.
No one has the stickers. And the cops know what an
EV looks like or not. And the HOA lanes, the
HOV lanes, they don't matter at all. It's they're just
as crowded is the other four lanes of the freeway.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So it doesn't help anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I would like hoa lanes where you could only have
beige cars. Yeah, yeah, that'd be nice. Okay, this is
like a YA. And then so violent crimes are falling
or they fell in twenty twenty four, which is the
most recent numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, that's the YA.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
And then you look at the numbers here and you know,
assaults on officers are reaching a ten year high. And
you know what and I yeah, I knew this was
going to happen because of the sentiment and the continues
to grow anti law enforcement sentiment.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
And this is not good for anybody.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
If law enforcement is being you know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Picked apart or assaulted. Oh they are, then we're also
they leed. They don't even bother with misdemeanors. In many cases,
I get calls all the time, Oh my god, they
won't prosecute I was beat up or someone attacking. You know,
the cops aren't going to prosecute. Why do you think
they care about you? They've got they have much bigger
(28:09):
fish to fry that they're also going to ignore.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So why do you think they're gonna ignore you?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
By the way, just of course, say Donald Trump quote
a campaign last year, crime was way up.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We've never seen crime like this before.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Okay, the Man of Steel is becoming the Man of Ice.
Dean Kine. Of course, Superman from the nineties TV series
Lois and Clark with Terry Hatcher is going to be
sworn in as an ice agent. He is already a
reserve police officer in Saint Anthony and Pocatello in Idaho.
(28:46):
He's also a reserve deputy sheriff with Frederick County, Virginia.
I don't know how you can be in more places
than one, but he says, Superman.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh I heard God, you're right.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Okay, So anyway, he's he said he wants to be
an ice agent.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, and they're gonna let him. He's fifty nine years
old and they're gonna let him. Why because Christino, iim
just completely ignores the age limitation.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's it. We'll take eighty year olds. We don't care people. Yeah,
they have to. They have to. They have to.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And they're giving huge bonuses too if you sign up.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah this guy all right, Okay, so, uh, you've got
victims of Jeffrey Epstein and that would.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Tie in Maxwell as well.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
They're freaking out legitimately because of the the Justice Department
and their their effort to unseal the grand jury testimony
and with cooperation with Max Fell.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And you know that.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
She is saying, nah, stuff like Trump never, I never
thought I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Doing anything, said that I have nothing that put Donald
Trump in any of the situations that we were in.
And strangely enough, after that nine hour conversation with the
Deputy ag, she gets transferred to a minimum security prison
from her medium security prison, which never happens or almost
never happens with sex offenders, and so.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And why would it right, you know, you wouldn't want
to see any lead, onlycy on sex.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Offenders, and so she got.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
And of course the government will not tell us why
the transfer took place. And the President said, I had
no idea. I had absolutely no part of this decision.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know, Trump is a micromanager. So my guess is
they ran it through him.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I would guess, but distinct and there's nothing about it
that But it's so blatant.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It's blatant.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Look at his sons, Eric, and what all of his
other sons are their names are, who are don thank
you very much, who are setting up these businesses in
Saudi Arabia?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You talk about blatant.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The Trump admit the Trump family is making unbelievable amounts
of money.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
They're in crypto now, the entire family is in crypto.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
No, it's it is blatant, blaytant to a level we
haven't seen before. We are actually done to a level
we've never seen before. This is KFI A M six forty.
