Speaker 6 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I had a tough time with it.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So I think that's up on Instagram if I'm not

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Morning, good morning Bill. How old are you?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You just turned seventy four?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah I'm no youngster, No you're not. No, thank you, wow,
thank you. And gravity, I mean gravity has has hit.
I mean the bell ringers are there. I mean there
is no question that we you know, yeah, there they are.
My dad boy, he have a gravity bell ringer issue.
(04:08):
He my dad used to wear boxer shorts, boxer shorts,
and they're below the level of the bottom of boxer
shorts by about an inch or two inches. There they
were swinging back and forth boxer shorts.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
Okay, I do worry about your obsession with this, right,
There's a.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Lot of things I'm obsessed with. Yeah, I'm obsessed with gravity,
that's true. I am obsessed with gravity.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So you're obsessed with what Disney shirt Amy wears, what
color shirt Will wears.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I'll tell you what else I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
If we're talking about physical attributes now we were just
talking about Neil.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know if we can talk about your medical issue. You.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Uh, I've talked about on the air, right that you're
considering gastric surgery. Yeah, considering gastric bike. There you go,
and I had that twenty years ago. I went from
three hundred pounds.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And you have the ruin.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why right, I had the ruin. Why well, that's a
big one.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean you that's it's not the sleeve, as Neil
and I were saying, he's about to do the sleeve
a short sleeve during the summer and long sleeve during
the winter procedure. Yeah, what I did is I lost
uh weight in really weird places, one of them being
my ass.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And so what I have is a fluttery ass.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So on July fourth, I actually can paint it red,
white and blue. And if it's a windy day and
I'm out there, you can. Actually it's very flaglike.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
And if you paint there's a visual front, you paint
your front gold, it'll look like tassels on there.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh okay, I think I think that's enough.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'd salute that.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
There you are.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we're definitely. As a matter of fact, my nickname
now is flutter Ass. It's really depressing. Okay, I think
we're ready to do it, aren't we. What a way
to start Tuesday, which you know now everything of the
week is Friday, and Fridays have.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Become more ridiculous than ever.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All Right, we now get to do a little bit
of news and a little bit of show, and so
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's time to.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me lead. Sorry,
and no surprise here the redistricting plan that's going to
go up on the November ballot here in California is
being attacked like crazy by Republicans, and I'll talk more
(06:51):
about that at seven o'clock. There is a boy, is
there an issue going on in this one and this
is in response to Texas redistrict redistricting districts. So it
looks like that to well, it's not even looks like
where Republicans will gain more seats. Californian response that has
done exactly that. But the issue is can California do it?
(07:14):
And the Republicans are filing lawsuits like crazy, and the
President says they're going to file a federal lawsuit against
California trying to add seats because that is unconstitutional. Now,
what Texas did is do exactly that at his direction.
(07:35):
So adding Republican seats is something that he directs states
to do, and adding democratic seats, the Department of Justice
is filing a lawsuit to stop it. Any other time
that an administration would even hint at doing this, the
reaction would be extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No president could ever get around this.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Just doing business, Okay, that's the cost of doing business.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's just we're in a different place, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
National Guard in the cities, Okay, why not firing members
of the Fed. Why not putting in restrictions deporting people
like crazy, and which is perfectly legal. But the move
that's where we're going to spend our money and not
on food stamps.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So anyway, it's yeah, obviously, this one's an easy one.
You know, what's good for the goose is good for
the goose.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
If Texas can do it, why is everybody acting like politicians?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Because because here to fore this would never here tofore,
this would never have happened and never has happened. And
I'll explain there is a big difference. The Republicans have
a point as to the legality of one in the other.
And I will go through it and explain. At seven o'clock,
good news if you're in illness, in a state of illness. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
In the ever longer stupid.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Sege, sorry about that, moving on in.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
The ever longer list of things that cost more. Health
insurance expected to rise next year will grow more expensive
in many corners of the market for twenty twenty six,
and your coverage may shrink. Price increases could be especially
a stark in individual coverage market places, as where insurers
(09:35):
are also predicting the federal government it's going to end
some support that helps people buy coverage, and they cited
some reasons for these increases. They include the rising cost
of medical care. More people are getting care, visits to
er rooms are on the rise, and claims for mental
health treatments are up as well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
It's all becoming much much more.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's ben sim and of course our medical system is
completely broken completely, and the idea is to change it
are unfeasible, untenable, socialistic, and will never be done. We'd
rather stick with our our broken system than try what
the rest of the world is doing. Great fun So anyway,
just get prepared for a lot more money. How unusual?
(10:22):
What a shocker.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, like thirteen minutes in and you're spiraling the entire
planet into the ground because I don't know, because it's.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Going into the ground because we're auguring exactly what you say.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Your elevator going up and down. Just worry about everybody else.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, No, I worry about it breaking down. I worry
about it stopping. I'm worry I worry about whether or
not an earthquake is going ahead and I'm in the
middle of it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I worry. I just worry like crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's getting worse in your life.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Worry about this show tanking. Oh no, it's actually happening.
I worry about our ratings going down. Stop that, By
the way, how do I stop that by stopping to
think about it?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Not complaining that the world's auguring.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Oh okay, Hey, we're in great shape. Hey it couldn't
be better. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
We've been hearing about these teams that do these burglaries
for some time. And here's a team that goes back
to twenty twenty two. A bunch of burglaries that were
on the West Side, mostly kind of out by the airport,
and they are made up of South La gang members.
They refer to themselves as the Rich Roland Burglary Crew,
(11:45):
and they're made up of a couple different gangs. They're
rolling thirties the fifty five neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
And the police got them.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And this is a massive, massive, massive bust. Nearly one
hundred break ins, high end jewelry, guns, anything that would
bring big, big money. These folks were known for grabbing amy.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
How was it nothing to say about that? Dan the
constitution full speed ahead. President Trump has done in executive
order targeting the burning of the American flag. He says,
if you burn a flag, you get a year in jail,
No early exits, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Well, it's a little problematic for the president because a
Supreme Court has ruled straight out that burning of the
American flag is political speech that it is constitutionally protected
in at the First Amendment. So he is legitimately blowing
smoke here and has no place to go. However, can
they go after someone burning the American flag? Well, there
(12:48):
are probably ordinances say you can't burn anything in public places,
just can't do it. So if you're on the street
and you decide you're going to burn a flag, can
you be nail for violation the burning of anything, anything, anything,
It doesn't matter Polyester, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
If it's only the American flag that the police are
going after the authorities and you're talking about selective prosecution,
there's an issue there. But let me ask you if
he were if someone were burning an Isis flag for example,
or burning well, now, the president would love that. Yeah,
(13:29):
someone was burning I have a California flag, City California flag.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Do you think the President would jump in? And I
question to sue you on that very thing. As much
as I hate the burning of the American flag and
find it to be self stultifying. It's like you're burning
the symbol of the very thing that gives you the
power to burn it. So I hate that, But I
get that people have the right to do it, and
I'm fine with that. But what if someone built burned
(13:58):
a Pride flag flag or a Black Lives Matter flag?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Is that a hate crime?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
It's a good point because it's not a critical It's
very good question.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No, because it's not a crime to burn a flag.
It's not a crime to burn any flag. Uh, and
the American flag is the one that really has the
attention of everybody. But a but that's not a hate crime.
That's I hate crime has to be. I hate crime
has to be a crime.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
So if it was on my house, then it would
be a crime. You burned it, it's flying up.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
You couldn't just walk up to my house and burn
a flag on my property.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No, No, because then that's burning, Uh, burning something on
your property, Burning across is is.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh, that's perfectly okay.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Burning crosses is fine as long as you're in sheets
and hoods. Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Then what I'm just saying, at what point does it does?
Is it no longer free speech.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
At the point where a crime is committed. For example,
if I were to burn a cross on my property
and where a Q CLEX can't clan outfit, I think
I'm allowed to do that. Now, it's not real smart
to do that because I think you may have a
neighbor or two that may get upset about that.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But no, it's the burning of the flag.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
There were laws that said you can't do it, and
the court said it is protected speech, and so the president.
By the way, what's the president going to do is
they would have to pass a constitutional amendment. Even if
Congress passed the law, it's probably not going to pass
muster as hold musters to a constitutional issue. There would
(15:45):
have to probably be a constitutional amendment, which that's going
to happen in this lifetime anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Good question.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And by the way, if you think I answered that correctly,
I just made all of that up, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Moving on, Okay, Beverly Hills. Interesting twist, speaking about flags,
they're considering actually displaying.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
The Israeli flag.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
So the Unified school district there in Beverly Hills and
the Board of Education are going to vote today to
whether they're going to fly the Israeli flag on campuses,
District facilities would also be in there. And this is
to recognize Jewish Heritage Month in May. It's not going
(16:31):
on right now, so it would be Holocaust Remembrance Day.
October seventh is the day of remembrance of the twenty
twenty three Hamas led attacks on Israel. And this is
just to bring awareness to anti Semitism.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, but to fly in Israeli flag as far as
Holocaust Remembrance Day, now you're moving.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Into a political the political speech, you really are.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And I think then at that point, if I'm if
I'm a Muslim, I file a lawsuit because I want
to do the same thing. I want to fly my flag. Now,
of course no city council will let you ever do that.
But well no, but but care the cash I don't
even remember what that stands for again.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Council of of.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Islamic Relations or something.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yeah, well they say it's deeply insensitive and distressing to
Palestinian students to have lost countless family members to Israel's
violent military campaign. Yeah, and the mad Main humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And yeah, how do you argue with that that's exactly
what's happening.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I mean, and then then you would have the Pride
flag and everything else, saying, well, wait a second, everybody's
got a month.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, you're gonna do that Mexican flag.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
How about how about the cheeseburger a month? Right? Or
the National Day of the Cheeseburgers?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You lost me. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, where you fly the McDonald's flag.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Still okay with it?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Warning from on high. A High Court that is growing
sense of frustration with some lower court rulings has crept
into a series of opinions this summer from the Supreme
Court's conservative justices as they juggle a flood of emergency
cases that deal with President Trump's second term. Lower court
(18:27):
judges may sometimes disagree with this Court's decisions, wrote Justice
Neil Gorsich, but they are never free to defy them.
That was part of his opinion last week, tied to
the Court's decision to allow President Trump to cancel about
eight hundred million dollars in research grants.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, I don't quite understand this. This has to do
with lower courts making a decision blocking the administration's efforts
in certain ways, and with Gorss saying that is in
direct violation to what we have decided. I don't think
it's violating specifically a precedent. For example, the Court had
(19:09):
ruled one cannot do this, and a lower court saying
go ahead and do that.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I think it's broader than that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
And it's just that there are judges who've been around
there for a long time that are not pleased at
all what the Supreme Court is doing. And even the
courts have become political, and that's the shame of it.
There's no really no, there's no thing as independence in
our government. Of the three branches of government, legislature, you
(19:38):
would think it would be partisan. The presidency, of course
that would be partisan. But the courts, that's where we've gone.
It's very depressing.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
The board, I have a question for you. So, but
if the precedent is set, if the Supreme Court makes
a decision, isn't it supposed to be done.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, it's a question of interpretation because what I think
court will say this doesn't particularly adhere exactly to what
the Court has said. As I said, specifically as to
you cannot or you can or you must.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think that's one issue.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I mean, there's no question, but sort of skirting it
and playing with it.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
And because I think that's what's happening with.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Liberal justices who are well, they've politicized it, and that's
why I think is happening. I think I think the
Court has been politicized at the top end to the right.
And I think there are plenty of judges who have
been appointed by Biden and Obama who have gone the
other way. The problem is they're not on the Supreme Court.
Gorsitch is, Does that help?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Probably not? Okay, moving on, there's no I.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
In a AI.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Well, actually there is an AI there, but Elon Musk says,
I don't like what you're doing there over at Apple
and chet GPT, who are the makers of open AI.
So he's suing them, and this is this is his
basic complaint. He's got his grock chat pot chatbot that
(21:12):
comes from his company x Ai, and he's suing them
because he feels that if you go and you search
for groc or you're searching for AI. The Apple is
going to push who they're partnering with and their AI
technology and kind of push his down.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Uh is his complaint.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
So he's pushing back and saying, hey, you know they
you you can't just push mine aside because it's not
your partner when people are searching for it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Did you ever read a Stranger in a Strange Land?
Isaac Asimov? I grock you, let's grog together.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I have groc.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We have I think I have that right.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm sure we'll get all kinds of un or not
to rock. That's very good, okay, rocking on?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Oh, this could causes cancelation or will it. Snoop Dogg
is taking a lot of heat about his comments on
LGBTQ plus characters in children's movies if you want to
call Disney movies children's movies. But apparently he was on
a podcast and he said he took his grandson to
(22:30):
see light Year, the buzz light Year feature film. It
has the same same sex couple having a child together,
and he said that his grandson in the middle of
the movie is like, hey, Papa, Snoop, how did she
have a baby with a woman. She's a woman. So
and he said, I wasn't prepared to answer that question,
especially not during a movie. And so he talked about
(22:51):
it on this podcast and he's taken a lot of
heat on social media. Someone slammed him as the biggest
sell out in hip hop. One user wondered on x
how is answering his grandson's question even close to the
horrors of answering how a man and a woman have
a baby together? Okay, So anyway, he's taken a lot
(23:14):
of heat for this.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, I find this kind of interesting because it's a
question of what are societal norms, and that is, we
were moving towards the point where same sex marriage and
couples having same sex couples having children together were just
going to be Okay, that's just part of society and
as and I haven't gotten there because when I'm about
(23:39):
as pro LGBTQ rights as you can get, I mean,
the first kid that I had for a gay couple
that I helped create is I think forty two or
forty three now. So I've been doing this a long
long time. Even I when I'm when a male, when
a man introduces his husband to me, it's still a
(24:01):
little jarring for me, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
And I'm fine with the giggling.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That's a little weird.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, I just find it. I just you know, I
try not to react, but it's still jarring.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Or when a woman introduces me to her wife, uh,
it's it's not the same as oh, this is my husband, okay,
thank you. Uh, where a woman says this is my
husband or I say this is my wife. So I
thought we were on our way where that becomes the
norm that no one is. Uh. I won't say the
word shocked because I'm not shocked, but just okay, I'm
(24:32):
a little little jarring.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So unfortunately we're we're going the other way.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
My opinion, you can look at that because I'm like you,
I don't care, and I think, man, you should be.
You should be a proud American to say that that
we don't care. But uh, I do believe that some
of the groups, activist groups, Oh yeah, I saw that coming,
and that once things become the norm, you don't get
(24:59):
the money and and so then they have to go
into kids and trands and then it creates everything and
then it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Or they're doing that just because they want it to
be the norm. You don't know what the motivation of
people are. I'll tell you why I've always been same
sex marriage because gay people have every right to be
as miserable as I am being married to a woman.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And that says it all, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
So you have Trump accusing federal governor, a FED governor
rather Lisa Cook, mortgage fraud. And it comes down to
the fact she has I think two houses in a
condo or something, and on all of them, all of
the mortgage statements and paperwork, she says, each of them
are her primary resident, which you know, if you purchase
(25:49):
a house, you know that that's going to be a
different category than if it's your second resident or rental
property or something like that. So he said, Trump said
that he's going to fire her, and it is a
letter he posted on social media. All this stuff going on, right,
and apparently there are documents that shows that she did
(26:12):
take out mortgages for at least two properties, both which
were listed as her principal residence. However, no one knows
why or if it was intentional or any of those things.
So just coming out right now, you have her making
a statement, Lisa Cook. She doubled down and she said
she's not going to resign from the FED. She's going
(26:34):
to stay, and that the president doesn't have the authority
to fire.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Wrong on that count wrong because he does have the
authority to fire her based on cause. That's the only
authority he has. And you know what they call filling
out mortgage statements where two properties are listed as your
primary residence.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
They call that mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And this is this is a political move by Donald
Trump one hundred percent. Is it also true that she
committed mortgage fraud? Maybe at this point, I mean, there
doesn't seem to be much refutation about it, so the
two can't exist simultaneously. And it looks like I don't
know if it's true or not because I don't want
to make the accusation.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But he has if it's true, he has every right
to do.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
That, doesn't He didn't. He also accused Adam Schiff of
mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, but he has, but he he did, but he
has no authority over Adam shift.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
And then there was another one too, maybe I don't know,
was it Letitia James.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't take a mortgage fraud on.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
There's somebody else, but he has no he has no
authority over those people at all over the FED. Yes
he does, because first of all, he is the one
who appoints the members of the FED and Second of all.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know if if they screw up, they're under the
auspices of.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Him, even though it is aqu how is a independent
administrative agency still under the rules he can so.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Now I will tell you what I think.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
If it were a Trump supporter, this would never happen,
certainly not from the FEDS.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But does it change the fact that it looks like
she did it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And by the way, a member of the FED doing this,
that's a little problematic, to say the least, or to
say the most.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
This could have wiped out Florida. Apparently a US Coast
Guard cutter made a drug bust and hauled in what
it says is twenty three million deadly doses of cocaine,
sixty almost sixty two thousand pounds of cocaine. More than
fourteen thousand pounds of marijuana is what they offloaded from
(28:54):
this boat. It's the largest quality, our quantity of drugs
offloaded in Coast Guard history. They say that it's enough
to fatally overdose the entire population of the state of Florida.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, let me put it, if if this was done
during the time that I was a coke addict, it
would it would be nowhere near the entire population of
the state of Florida, because I would have been because
I used so much of it myself. It's overdosing. Do
you know how much you have to do to overdose
on coke? It's this isn't fentanyl you're talking about. We
(29:28):
need to drop this is Uh does your heart give out?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
You know someone's got it? You know we have to
call a GM. I think, yeah, maybe your heart gives out.
And maybe I don't even know because frankly, I was
so coked out of my mind.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
How they hell? Do I know what happened to me?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Uh? But also the I love these figures of you know,
for example, marijuana, right, one hundred million dollars or eighty
million dollars of marijuana? Is that wholesale? Is that by
the joint? Is that by the ounce? Is it retail?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Were you asking for a friend? Are you looking to bid?
What's the Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm just asking asking? Okay, okay?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Massive dust storms in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You know, we have friends and family in Arizona and
out just outside of Phoenix, and still the dust storms
were insane. Looking at videos of them, they're saying the
city was in near zero visibility.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Did you see the video? Yeah, at burning Man?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Oh my goodness, Wait where is burning Man held? Isn't
that the Is that in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
That's Upen, that's up in in the desert after California,
Like is it California?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I thought it was out there anyway the video of
so all right, the two are but no, the dust
storms in uh at burning Man. I thought the two
were connected. But it looks like just this big mon.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
There's some weird weather going out in the desert too,
the palm springs and everything. Yesterday had all these crazy storms.
But these dust storms you got seventy mile per hour
wind gusts and just nuts looking. I mean, end of
the world type stuff.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Haboob is what they're called.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Come on Amy here, Bill and I try and I
get it.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Ha ha.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I went to law school with a with a guy
named Haboob and he didn't do well.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Bub burning Man this year is in Nevada. It's in
Black Rock Desert, Nevada.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
There you go, there you go, and thank you you're
here tomorrow? Ah right? Really yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
How often how often does does Ann come in to
save my ass.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What it was you said?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
It wasn't. In arizona's close.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
In Arizona, they're right next to each other.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
They're basically the same.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Leave me alone, too dumb to know that you were
too dumb?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But why don't we stop at that point? What do
you think? Guys?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I don't know. I thought we were gonna. I'm gonna.
We're not gonna do a deep dive on No, don't.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Know, We're not.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I celebrated by working uh and then walking and then
working out.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I saw that nice cake.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Oh yeah I was. I cracked it open. It was
a big cake and just took a couple of bites
and then that was done. And celeb a big, big
dinner last night, pizza from Dominos Domino's pizza.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But we put.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Some some candles in the pizza. I get the pan pizza,
so this nice and bread eat can put a candle
in there, and I blew.
Speaker 2 (03:16):

Oh you saw that.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I saw you were trying to blow out the candles.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I responded that you are the only blow hard I've
ever met who can't blow out his own candlesh.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I had a tough time with it.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So I think that's up on Instagram if I'm not
mistakenly put that up at Bill Handle show and then CODO, good.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Morning, good morning Bill. How old are you?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You just turned seventy four?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah I'm no youngster, No you're not. No, thank you, wow,
thank you. And gravity, I mean gravity has has hit.
I mean the bell ringers are there. I mean there
is no question that we you know, yeah, there they are.
My dad boy, he have a gravity bell ringer issue.
(04:08):
He my dad used to wear boxer shorts, boxer shorts,
and they're below the level of the bottom of boxer
shorts by about an inch or two inches. There they
were swinging back and forth boxer shorts.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
Okay, I do worry about your obsession with this, right,
There's a.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Lot of things I'm obsessed with. Yeah, I'm obsessed with gravity,
that's true. I am obsessed with gravity.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So you're obsessed with what Disney shirt Amy wears, what
color shirt Will wears.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I'll tell you what else I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
If we're talking about physical attributes now we were just
talking about Neil.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know if we can talk about your medical issue. You.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Uh, I've talked about on the air, right that you're
considering gastric surgery. Yeah, considering gastric bike. There you go,
and I had that twenty years ago. I went from
three hundred pounds.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And you have the ruin.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Why right, I had the ruin. Why well, that's a
big one.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean you that's it's not the sleeve, as Neil
and I were saying, he's about to do the sleeve
a short sleeve during the summer and long sleeve during
the winter procedure. Yeah, what I did is I lost
uh weight in really weird places, one of them being
my ass.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And so what I have is a fluttery ass.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
So on July fourth, I actually can paint it red,
white and blue. And if it's a windy day and
I'm out there, you can. Actually it's very flaglike.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
And if you paint there's a visual front, you paint
your front gold, it'll look like tassels on there.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh okay, I think I think that's enough.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'd salute that.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
There you are.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, we're definitely. As a matter of fact, my nickname
now is flutter Ass. It's really depressing. Okay, I think
we're ready to do it, aren't we. What a way
to start Tuesday, which you know now everything of the
week is Friday, and Fridays have.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Become more ridiculous than ever.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All Right, we now get to do a little bit
of news and a little bit of show, and so
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's time to.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and me lead. Sorry,
and no surprise here the redistricting plan that's going to
go up on the November ballot here in California is
being attacked like crazy by Republicans, and I'll talk more
(06:51):
about that at seven o'clock. There is a boy, is
there an issue going on in this one and this
is in response to Texas redistrict redistricting districts. So it
looks like that to well, it's not even looks like
where Republicans will gain more seats. Californian response that has
done exactly that. But the issue is can California do it?
(07:14):
And the Republicans are filing lawsuits like crazy, and the
President says they're going to file a federal lawsuit against
California trying to add seats because that is unconstitutional. Now,
what Texas did is do exactly that at his direction.
(07:35):
So adding Republican seats is something that he directs states
to do, and adding democratic seats, the Department of Justice
is filing a lawsuit to stop it. Any other time
that an administration would even hint at doing this, the
reaction would be extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No president could ever get around this.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Just doing business, Okay, that's the cost of doing business.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's just we're in a different place, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
National Guard in the cities, Okay, why not firing members
of the Fed. Why not putting in restrictions deporting people
like crazy, and which is perfectly legal. But the move
that's where we're going to spend our money and not
on food stamps.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So anyway, it's yeah, obviously, this one's an easy one.
You know, what's good for the goose is good for
the goose.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
If Texas can do it, why is everybody acting like politicians?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Because because here to fore this would never here tofore,
this would never have happened and never has happened. And
I'll explain there is a big difference. The Republicans have
a point as to the legality of one in the other.
And I will go through it and explain. At seven o'clock,
good news if you're in illness, in a state of illness. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
In the ever longer stupid.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Sege, sorry about that, moving on in.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
The ever longer list of things that cost more. Health
insurance expected to rise next year will grow more expensive
in many corners of the market for twenty twenty six,
and your coverage may shrink. Price increases could be especially
a stark in individual coverage market places, as where insurers
(09:35):
are also predicting the federal government it's going to end
some support that helps people buy coverage, and they cited
some reasons for these increases. They include the rising cost
of medical care. More people are getting care, visits to
er rooms are on the rise, and claims for mental
health treatments are up as well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
It's all becoming much much more.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's ben sim and of course our medical system is
completely broken completely, and the idea is to change it
are unfeasible, untenable, socialistic, and will never be done. We'd
rather stick with our our broken system than try what
the rest of the world is doing. Great fun So anyway,
just get prepared for a lot more money. How unusual?
(10:22):
What a shocker.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, like thirteen minutes in and you're spiraling the entire
planet into the ground because I don't know, because it's.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Going into the ground because we're auguring exactly what you say.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Your elevator going up and down. Just worry about everybody else.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, No, I worry about it breaking down. I worry
about it stopping. I'm worry I worry about whether or
not an earthquake is going ahead and I'm in the
middle of it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I worry. I just worry like crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's getting worse in your life.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Worry about this show tanking. Oh no, it's actually happening.
I worry about our ratings going down. Stop that, By
the way, how do I stop that by stopping to
think about it?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Not complaining that the world's auguring.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Oh okay, Hey, we're in great shape. Hey it couldn't
be better. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
We've been hearing about these teams that do these burglaries
for some time. And here's a team that goes back
to twenty twenty two. A bunch of burglaries that were
on the West Side, mostly kind of out by the airport,
and they are made up of South La gang members.
They refer to themselves as the Rich Roland Burglary Crew,
(11:45):
and they're made up of a couple different gangs. They're
rolling thirties the fifty five neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
And the police got them.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And this is a massive, massive, massive bust. Nearly one
hundred break ins, high end jewelry, guns, anything that would
bring big, big money. These folks were known for grabbing amy.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
How was it nothing to say about that? Dan the
constitution full speed ahead. President Trump has done in executive
order targeting the burning of the American flag. He says,
if you burn a flag, you get a year in jail,
No early exits, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Well, it's a little problematic for the president because a
Supreme Court has ruled straight out that burning of the
American flag is political speech that it is constitutionally protected
in at the First Amendment. So he is legitimately blowing
smoke here and has no place to go. However, can
they go after someone burning the American flag? Well, there
(12:48):
are probably ordinances say you can't burn anything in public places,
just can't do it. So if you're on the street
and you decide you're going to burn a flag, can
you be nail for violation the burning of anything, anything, anything,
It doesn't matter Polyester, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
If it's only the American flag that the police are
going after the authorities and you're talking about selective prosecution,
there's an issue there. But let me ask you if
he were if someone were burning an Isis flag for example,
or burning well, now, the president would love that. Yeah,
(13:29):
someone was burning I have a California flag, City California flag.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Do you think the President would jump in? And I
question to sue you on that very thing. As much
as I hate the burning of the American flag and
find it to be self stultifying. It's like you're burning
the symbol of the very thing that gives you the
power to burn it. So I hate that, But I
get that people have the right to do it, and
I'm fine with that. But what if someone built burned
(13:58):
a Pride flag flag or a Black Lives Matter flag?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Is that a hate crime?
Speaker 5 (14:05):
It's a good point because it's not a critical It's
very good question.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No, because it's not a crime to burn a flag.
It's not a crime to burn any flag. Uh, and
the American flag is the one that really has the
attention of everybody. But a but that's not a hate crime.
That's I hate crime has to be. I hate crime
has to be a crime.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
So if it was on my house, then it would
be a crime. You burned it, it's flying up.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
You couldn't just walk up to my house and burn
a flag on my property.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No, No, because then that's burning, Uh, burning something on
your property, Burning across is is.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh, that's perfectly okay.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Burning crosses is fine as long as you're in sheets
and hoods. Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Then what I'm just saying, at what point does it does?
Is it no longer free speech.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
At the point where a crime is committed. For example,
if I were to burn a cross on my property
and where a Q CLEX can't clan outfit, I think
I'm allowed to do that. Now, it's not real smart
to do that because I think you may have a
neighbor or two that may get upset about that.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But no, it's the burning of the flag.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
There were laws that said you can't do it, and
the court said it is protected speech, and so the president.
By the way, what's the president going to do is
they would have to pass a constitutional amendment. Even if
Congress passed the law, it's probably not going to pass
muster as hold musters to a constitutional issue. There would
(15:45):
have to probably be a constitutional amendment, which that's going
to happen in this lifetime anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Good question.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And by the way, if you think I answered that correctly,
I just made all of that up, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Moving on, Okay, Beverly Hills. Interesting twist, speaking about flags,
they're considering actually displaying.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
The Israeli flag.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
So the Unified school district there in Beverly Hills and
the Board of Education are going to vote today to
whether they're going to fly the Israeli flag on campuses,
District facilities would also be in there. And this is
to recognize Jewish Heritage Month in May. It's not going
(16:31):
on right now, so it would be Holocaust Remembrance Day.
October seventh is the day of remembrance of the twenty
twenty three Hamas led attacks on Israel. And this is
just to bring awareness to anti Semitism.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, but to fly in Israeli flag as far as
Holocaust Remembrance Day, now you're moving.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Into a political the political speech, you really are.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And I think then at that point, if I'm if
I'm a Muslim, I file a lawsuit because I want
to do the same thing. I want to fly my flag. Now,
of course no city council will let you ever do that.
But well no, but but care the cash I don't
even remember what that stands for again.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Council of of.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Islamic Relations or something.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yeah, well they say it's deeply insensitive and distressing to
Palestinian students to have lost countless family members to Israel's
violent military campaign. Yeah, and the mad Main humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And yeah, how do you argue with that that's exactly
what's happening.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
I mean, and then then you would have the Pride
flag and everything else, saying, well, wait a second, everybody's
got a month.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, you're gonna do that Mexican flag.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
How about how about the cheeseburger a month? Right? Or
the National Day of the Cheeseburgers?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You lost me. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Okay, where you fly the McDonald's flag.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Still okay with it?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Warning from on high. A High Court that is growing
sense of frustration with some lower court rulings has crept
into a series of opinions this summer from the Supreme
Court's conservative justices as they juggle a flood of emergency
cases that deal with President Trump's second term. Lower court
(18:27):
judges may sometimes disagree with this Court's decisions, wrote Justice
Neil Gorsich, but they are never free to defy them.
That was part of his opinion last week, tied to
the Court's decision to allow President Trump to cancel about
eight hundred million dollars in research grants.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, I don't quite understand this. This has to do
with lower courts making a decision blocking the administration's efforts
in certain ways, and with Gorss saying that is in
direct violation to what we have decided. I don't think
it's violating specifically a precedent. For example, the Court had
(19:09):
ruled one cannot do this, and a lower court saying
go ahead and do that.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I think it's broader than that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
And it's just that there are judges who've been around
there for a long time that are not pleased at
all what the Supreme Court is doing. And even the
courts have become political, and that's the shame of it.
There's no really no, there's no thing as independence in
our government. Of the three branches of government, legislature, you
(19:38):
would think it would be partisan. The presidency, of course
that would be partisan. But the courts, that's where we've gone.
It's very depressing.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
The board, I have a question for you. So, but
if the precedent is set, if the Supreme Court makes
a decision, isn't it supposed to be done.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, it's a question of interpretation because what I think
court will say this doesn't particularly adhere exactly to what
the Court has said. As I said, specifically as to
you cannot or you can or you must.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think that's one issue.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I mean, there's no question, but sort of skirting it
and playing with it.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
And because I think that's what's happening with.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Liberal justices who are well, they've politicized it, and that's
why I think is happening. I think I think the
Court has been politicized at the top end to the right.
And I think there are plenty of judges who have
been appointed by Biden and Obama who have gone the
other way. The problem is they're not on the Supreme Court.
Gorsitch is, Does that help?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Probably not? Okay, moving on, there's no I.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
In a AI.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Well, actually there is an AI there, but Elon Musk says,
I don't like what you're doing there over at Apple
and chet GPT, who are the makers of open AI.
So he's suing them, and this is this is his
basic complaint. He's got his grock chat pot chatbot that
(21:12):
comes from his company x Ai, and he's suing them
because he feels that if you go and you search
for groc or you're searching for AI. The Apple is
going to push who they're partnering with and their AI
technology and kind of push his down.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Uh is his complaint.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
So he's pushing back and saying, hey, you know they
you you can't just push mine aside because it's not
your partner when people are searching for it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Did you ever read a Stranger in a Strange Land?
Isaac Asimov? I grock you, let's grog together.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I have groc.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We have I think I have that right.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I'm sure we'll get all kinds of un or not
to rock. That's very good, okay, rocking on?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Oh, this could causes cancelation or will it. Snoop Dogg
is taking a lot of heat about his comments on
LGBTQ plus characters in children's movies if you want to
call Disney movies children's movies. But apparently he was on
a podcast and he said he took his grandson to
(22:30):
see light Year, the buzz light Year feature film. It
has the same same sex couple having a child together,
and he said that his grandson in the middle of
the movie is like, hey, Papa, Snoop, how did she
have a baby with a woman. She's a woman. So
and he said, I wasn't prepared to answer that question,
especially not during a movie. And so he talked about
(22:51):
it on this podcast and he's taken a lot of
heat on social media. Someone slammed him as the biggest
sell out in hip hop. One user wondered on x
how is answering his grandson's question even close to the
horrors of answering how a man and a woman have
a baby together? Okay, So anyway, he's taken a lot
(23:14):
of heat for this.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, I find this kind of interesting because it's a
question of what are societal norms, and that is, we
were moving towards the point where same sex marriage and
couples having same sex couples having children together were just
going to be Okay, that's just part of society and
as and I haven't gotten there because when I'm about
(23:39):
as pro LGBTQ rights as you can get, I mean,
the first kid that I had for a gay couple
that I helped create is I think forty two or
forty three now. So I've been doing this a long
long time. Even I when I'm when a male, when
a man introduces his husband to me, it's still a
(24:01):
little jarring for me, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
And I'm fine with the giggling.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That's a little weird.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, I just find it. I just you know, I
try not to react, but it's still jarring.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Or when a woman introduces me to her wife, uh,
it's it's not the same as oh, this is my husband, okay,
thank you. Uh, where a woman says this is my
husband or I say this is my wife. So I
thought we were on our way where that becomes the
norm that no one is. Uh. I won't say the
word shocked because I'm not shocked, but just okay, I'm
(24:32):
a little little jarring.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So unfortunately we're we're going the other way.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
My opinion, you can look at that because I'm like you,
I don't care, and I think, man, you should be.
You should be a proud American to say that that
we don't care. But uh, I do believe that some
of the groups, activist groups, Oh yeah, I saw that coming,
and that once things become the norm, you don't get
(24:59):
the money and and so then they have to go
into kids and trands and then it creates everything and
then it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Or they're doing that just because they want it to
be the norm. You don't know what the motivation of
people are. I'll tell you why I've always been same
sex marriage because gay people have every right to be
as miserable as I am being married to a woman.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And that says it all, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
So you have Trump accusing federal governor, a FED governor
rather Lisa Cook, mortgage fraud. And it comes down to
the fact she has I think two houses in a
condo or something, and on all of them, all of
the mortgage statements and paperwork, she says, each of them
are her primary resident, which you know, if you purchase
(25:49):
a house, you know that that's going to be a
different category than if it's your second resident or rental
property or something like that. So he said, Trump said
that he's going to fire her, and it is a
letter he posted on social media. All this stuff going on, right,
and apparently there are documents that shows that she did
(26:12):
take out mortgages for at least two properties, both which
were listed as her principal residence. However, no one knows
why or if it was intentional or any of those things.
So just coming out right now, you have her making
a statement, Lisa Cook. She doubled down and she said
she's not going to resign from the FED. She's going
(26:34):
to stay, and that the president doesn't have the authority
to fire.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Wrong on that count wrong because he does have the
authority to fire her based on cause. That's the only
authority he has. And you know what they call filling
out mortgage statements where two properties are listed as your
primary residence.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
They call that mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And this is this is a political move by Donald
Trump one hundred percent. Is it also true that she
committed mortgage fraud? Maybe at this point, I mean, there
doesn't seem to be much refutation about it, so the
two can't exist simultaneously. And it looks like I don't
know if it's true or not because I don't want
to make the accusation.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But he has if it's true, he has every right
to do.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
That, doesn't He didn't. He also accused Adam Schiff of
mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, but he has, but he he did, but he
has no authority over Adam shift.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
And then there was another one too, maybe I don't know,
was it Letitia James.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't take a mortgage fraud on.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
There's somebody else, but he has no he has no
authority over those people at all over the FED. Yes
he does, because first of all, he is the one
who appoints the members of the FED and Second of all.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know if if they screw up, they're under the
auspices of.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Him, even though it is aqu how is a independent
administrative agency still under the rules he can so.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Now I will tell you what I think.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
If it were a Trump supporter, this would never happen,
certainly not from the FEDS.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But does it change the fact that it looks like
she did it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And by the way, a member of the FED doing this,
that's a little problematic, to say the least, or to
say the most.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
This could have wiped out Florida. Apparently a US Coast
Guard cutter made a drug bust and hauled in what
it says is twenty three million deadly doses of cocaine,
sixty almost sixty two thousand pounds of cocaine. More than
fourteen thousand pounds of marijuana is what they offloaded from
(28:54):
this boat. It's the largest quality, our quantity of drugs
offloaded in Coast Guard history. They say that it's enough
to fatally overdose the entire population of the state of Florida.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, let me put it, if if this was done
during the time that I was a coke addict, it
would it would be nowhere near the entire population of
the state of Florida, because I would have been because
I used so much of it myself. It's overdosing. Do
you know how much you have to do to overdose
on coke? It's this isn't fentanyl you're talking about. We
(29:28):
need to drop this is Uh does your heart give out?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
You know someone's got it? You know we have to
call a GM. I think, yeah, maybe your heart gives out.
And maybe I don't even know because frankly, I was
so coked out of my mind.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
How they hell? Do I know what happened to me?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Uh? But also the I love these figures of you know,
for example, marijuana, right, one hundred million dollars or eighty
million dollars of marijuana? Is that wholesale? Is that by
the joint? Is that by the ounce? Is it retail?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Were you asking for a friend? Are you looking to bid?
What's the Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm just asking asking? Okay, okay?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Massive dust storms in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You know, we have friends and family in Arizona and
out just outside of Phoenix, and still the dust storms
were insane. Looking at videos of them, they're saying the
city was in near zero visibility.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Did you see the video? Yeah, at burning Man?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Oh my goodness, Wait where is burning Man held? Isn't
that the Is that in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
That's Upen, that's up in in the desert after California,
Like is it California?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I thought it was out there anyway the video of
so all right, the two are but no, the dust
storms in uh at burning Man. I thought the two
were connected. But it looks like just this big mon.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
There's some weird weather going out in the desert too,
the palm springs and everything. Yesterday had all these crazy storms.
But these dust storms you got seventy mile per hour
wind gusts and just nuts looking. I mean, end of
the world type stuff.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Haboob is what they're called.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Come on Amy here, Bill and I try and I
get it.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Ha ha.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I went to law school with a with a guy
named Haboob and he didn't do well.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Bub burning Man this year is in Nevada. It's in
Black Rock Desert, Nevada.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
There you go, there you go, and thank you you're
here tomorrow? Ah right? Really yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
How often how often does does Ann come in to
save my ass.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What it was you said?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
It wasn't. In arizona's close.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
In Arizona, they're right next to each other.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
They're basically the same.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Leave me alone, too dumb to know that you were
too dumb?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But why don't we stop at that point? What do
you think? Guys?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I don't know. I thought we were gonna. I'm gonna.
We're not gonna do a deep dive on No, don't.
