Any news to be had by one and all? No, no, nothing,
Noilbury popsicle day. It's blueberry seriously, blueberry popsicle day.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh uh?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Costco.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Costco is allowing the executive members to go back to
go early again.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
What did they stop it?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
They did during COVID I think.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
No, they reinstated that that you get in earlier, like
a month ago.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Oh, is that what it was?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
They just started something though, I know they're told.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Me about yesterday I was at Trader Joe's. One of
the things about Trader Joe's is the prices are so
damn good and they have things that Costco does not.
Now for those people that go to Costco, particularly management
at Costco, I just didn't say that. I just wanted
to let you guys know the Indian food there at
(04:58):
Costco is just unbelo believable. The frozen food, it is
so good and inexpensive. All right, guys, ready to do it.
We've got plenty of news coming up. Boy, what a
weekend it has been. What a few days it has been.
Robert Kennedy is completely out of his mind. I mean,
you talk about nuts. It's it doesn't stop. As a
(05:22):
matter of fact, we're going to start with a government story,
lead story.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Today.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Congress returns and four weeks they have until to fund
the government and avoid a governmental shutdown.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is it going to happen? Happen? Who the hell knows now?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Congressional leaders, Yeah, they say we're going to need another
short term funding extension, which happens every year and the
government funding expires at the end of September thirtieth, end
of the month, and it's going to be difficult.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It happens more than every year. It just happened a
couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well that's true, because the stop gaps stop at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They are stop gaps.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I don't know when the last time a budget
came into or came in on time. Now, California has
to have a budget constitutionally speaking, it has to have
a budget, none of this stop gap stuff. And it
has to be the budget. It has to make its budget.
It has to be reconciled, not the Senate or not
(06:35):
the House, not the government. And the problem is, in
order to get that budget, the Republicans, it'll be Republicans
who decide it'll be a sixty vote filibuster.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ain't going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And let me tell you, well, every Republican of course,
is going to vote for the president's budget everyone, but
I got to tell you they need sixty votes and
they don't have it. So there'll be a fight, a
big fight going on.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Especially and still bigger penalties.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Like a jail time.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No what I just mean, Like I don't know, like
cutting pay Well, that's.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
What they did in California. Remember, if they don't come
up with a budget, they don't get their paychecks.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's also reasonable a bunch of years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Did you know that if you're in the Senate or
the House and they talk about their people, that talk about, oh,
these guys are in it just what they can get
because they steal money. You know, there's no pension for
the Senate or the Assembly. They got rid of the pension.
You can spend twenty years or twelve years. Now I
think it's a lot more than that. Because they change
(07:44):
the rules.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You don't get a pension.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
This wasn't supposed to be jobs.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well originally it wasn't supposed to h It wasn't supposed
to be a job. But when you happen to with
a state that has a budget and it becomes the
fifth largest economy on the planet.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When it becomes East and West California, well.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's not going to happen that sorry, it's still going
to be a massive, massive economy. So there's been a
full time legislator with full staff. You have to you
know what invented the full time legislature. By the way,
the professional legislature here in California. Jesse Unroute just thought
i'd mentioned that I did not know that. Yeah, I know,
(08:26):
of course not. There's a factoid I just pulled out
of my ass.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, continuing on.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
The jackpot gets jacked up even more.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
No winner last night in the powerball drawing, well, there
were lots of winners, but no jackpot winner, meaning that
nobody matched all six winning numbers. So the jackpot for
Wednesday tomorrow night's drawing is one point three billion dollars.
But there was a ticket sold at the seventy six
on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks that matched five of
(08:58):
the six numbers. It's worth one four million.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, that's not quite the same as a billion.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I'd take a million, I know you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Would, but when you're that close, it's well, it depends
on how optimistic you are. But I would get really
pissed off if I would. I would just get pissed off.
Rich Remember Richard Marana who was our sports guy. Of
course you do, uh? He pulled five numbers once?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Really really?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? Yeah? A million. I wasn't even a million dollars
because there were enough people that pulled five numbers that
end up with I don't know, he got three thousand
or something dollars.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
That's what would happen if we want our pull here
at work, because there's like eighty of us in on it.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I pulled out of that. That's scammed somewhere. Michelle Cube
is living the high life with all that money she.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Multi happened.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Here's what will happen when Michelle does this is there
are eighty of us and if there is a ticket
in there, she'll have bought a single other ticket.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And yeah, this one was just for me. Yeah, I
want it on the record though. If I win a
billion dollars, kono, I'm getting you one of those McDonald's
gold cards.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah, bro.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
For I just want to point out Michelle is, uh,
if not one of the most honest person out there.
Of all the people in the world that would make
sure that we all got the money, it would be Michelle.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She actually sends photos of the numbers.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, I know a job now, Michelle xerox is all
the numbers.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And by the way, we have done so well.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We win twenty four dollars and we win eight dollars
and I don't know if we've ever won one hundred
dollars or two hundred dollars in one drawing.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, we're super unlucky.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Uh yeah, well that's a given. Look where you work,
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Okay, moving on one more story before we take a break.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
This story we talked about a little bit yesterday and
we figured it would grow. It still is the death
toll sword past fourteen hundred people, thousands of others that
are injured. If you remember that very strong earthquake in Afghanistan.
The reality is their their structures are crap. Yeah, they're
(11:23):
they're made out of sand or mud.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That's yeah, they're made out of mud.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And yeah, they people die.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It was a six point zero tembler, Yeah, six point zero.
What would it do here? You'd have some cracks in
the walls. But that's basically it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, it's it's sad and frustrating.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
But yeah, and the Taliban has asked for help throughout
the world and it will be coming, of course, because
politics are usually set aside when you have humanitarian issues
like that, and rightly so, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Trump says he wants answers now. The president posted on
social media about the COVID vaccine controversy that he says,
is ripping apart the CDC over whether it's successful or not.
He said he has seen great numbers and results from
some drug companies, but demanded they prove publicly that the
(12:19):
vaccines are effective in fighting COVID, and he also questioned
whether some of the data is being withheld. He said,
I want them to show now to the CDC and
to the public and clear up this whole mess one
way or the other. And then he said, I hope
Operation Warp Speed, which again happened under his watch, was
as brilliant as many say it was. But if not,
(12:41):
I want to know about it and why.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Actually it was as brilliant. You have to give him
a lot of credit. During his first term he threw
two billion dollars into developing the vaccine, and just it's
probably one of the best moves that he made. That's
part of his legacy and a very positive way. Now,
as soon as he left office and it was Joe
(13:04):
Biden who now administered the vaccine, that's a different story.
But still, and then what is it science? Legitimate science
as it does work, But God forbid that we use
legitimate science anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Because now I.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Was wondering who's being torn apart, like the scientists and
the not the C.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
The CDC is being torn apart because it's run by scientists.
It's run by real scientists as opposed to vaccine skeptics.
Remember he threw everybody out that was on that advisory panel,
which has been which has the reputation of being extraordinary
(13:50):
in the reviews and the advice that it gives. The
CDC all gone, yeah, it's okay to question science.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I don't have a problem with that. I think that
that's important. But you know they did that with the
head injuries in the NFL. You remember all the scientists
were like no, no, no, and then one STA.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
But that is that is aberrational.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
By the way, it is question before the CDC gives
permission or recommends. These are all peer reviewed studies. They
don't just arbitrarily do it because it's someone's opinion.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh I realized that, Hey, I had my kid vaccinated.
And if you think that's not a tough decision to
make when there's a lot of noise in the background,
I'm just saying that I'm not someone who thinks science
is so you know, it's still run by people.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And no and I gave my kids vaccines. Of course
they only look down and won't look at you in
the eye. But that hey, well can I tell you?
And not speaking very well?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Okay, moving on, all right. We talked a bit about this.
Yesterday Burning Man came to an end, and a weird
one at that. A man found lying in a pool
of blood was dead when the cops got there. This
was during the big culmination, the one hundred foot effigy
of a man out of wood being burned. And they
(15:11):
know that between eight and nine thirty local time there
in Nevada is when this murder. They believe it's a
homicide took place. But they don't even know the name
of the guy. They don't know the identity of the guy,
let alone who killed him. He's described as a white male.
Listen to this, approximately thirty five or forty years old,
(15:32):
six feet tall, two hundred pounds, with short brown hair
and facial hair. That sounds like everybody at a Burning
Man to me, like, if you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Will find out, they'll do DNA tests. But the story
goes on.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There have been at least eight other deaths at the
festival since nineteen ninety. My favorite one in twenty twenty seventeen,
Arrol Aaron Joel Mitchell, forty one years old, ran into
the Burning Man. It had been lit on fire.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's a little different. He's apparently part moth.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yes, I would say that DNA from what I've heard
about the Burning Man, might be a harder way to
decide who someone is. It's like, we've got fifteen different
DNAs in here.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Especially that orgy tent. Yeah, yeah, right, the dough, the dome.
There's all kinds of DNA in there.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I would never go into one of those ever.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Again, No, because everybody would say, no, I don't need
that for my self esteem.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
They'd go, ma'am, you go over here.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But yeah, you know what, we've had enough. Why don't
you go over there in the corner. Ah, right, one
more and then we'll take a break.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Defending her decision, Supreme Court Justice Amy Cony Barrett already
has a new book out.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
It's her memoir.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
She defends her decision on overturning rovers Way.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
In it, she said that.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Rovers's way usurped the will of the American people and
came at a cost. So the Court's role is to
respect choices that the people have agreed upon, not to
tell them what they should agree to.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a weird comment because that's not what the court does.
The Court simply outright interprets the Constitution and it doesn't
matter what the people think. It doesn't matter. You know,
you have the majority of Americans who believe in abortion.
What if the people believed in slavery or believed in discrimination.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
That's kind of what I heard out of that, though
she said, we're not we're not trying to force, we're
not trying to see what the people want and say, Okay,
this is it. This I've heard that different.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, I didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The role of the court is is to respect the
choices that people have agreed upon, not to tell them
what they should agree to. I'm going to go back
to what I said. It's it doesn't matter what the
people agree to or not. Yes, the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Is she referring to the Constitution though, when.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
She's referring to the court, and then she talked about
the will of the people.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The will of the people have nothing to do with
the court.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Very strange.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, all right, So Hamas continues get knocked off one
by one. Israel has said that they have killed a
long time spokesperson for Hamas, And you know that's basically it.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I mean, it's one by one.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
This guy was known for his fiery speeches and you
know he'd wrap himself.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What are those things called again?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Uh, the tablecloth looking thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
The one around his head.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, the one looked yeah at the Palestinione looks like Yeah.
They went to an Italian restaurant the night before.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And they grabbed Uh, I have one around here somewhere
I got in Jordan. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I have
one too. Day anyways, so another one down.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yep, and now it's over sweat sixty three thousand palest
Indians killed, of which we don't know how many are militants,
probably about third of them and the rest are not.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
The kids are home and the famili's talking. You may
have heard us talking about this if you were listening
to KFI over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
But there were three.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Kids sitting in the backseat of a car and mom
ran in to the seven to eleven and left the
car running. That was an East LA on Friday, and
somebody jumped in their car and took off with it
with the kids inside, and they started a high speed chase.
(19:48):
They went through parts of LA, continued on the Pacific
Coast Highway near Canaan Dune Road in Malibu, and that's
when the guy crashed into another car on pch and
the kids were taken to the hospital. They're two, seven
and nine. They're all out of the hospital now, which
is great.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
How many people who hijack cars even pay attention the
thought of stealing a car and having kids in the car.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I don't think people do that on purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I know, But don't you think you just park it
and get the hell out.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Of there, because I think I think now you've got
kidnapping charges, now you've got child endangerment charges.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, you're in. It's not just stealing your car for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Another story that we see, you know, one of these
things where they at a sportings event and someone you know,
the sports star signed something and it goes to a
kid and then someone takes it. Well, this one happened
and we talked about it yesterday the US Open and
it looked like something was being given to the child,
(20:54):
a hat that was signed and it was stolen or
taken from him by Alish CEO.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Have you seen the video of it. Yes, yeah, he
grabs it right out.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Of the ky oh.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah, and you can tell that it's it's shady, you
know why he gives it to a woman next to
him and shoves it in a purse. Yes, he didn't
like throws it over his head like head like, oh
he gave this to me, goes he shoves it. It
was obvious that he knew what he was doing and
he was a prick. But he came out and apologized
and he said, you know, I take full responsibility.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
And what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
By the way, when you take full responsibility, what are
the consequences?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It just means you don't take parshalability.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I've never understood that well that he's trying to make
it sound like, hey, I don't give any excuses because
he started to go in the heat.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Of the moment, blah blah, and then he sending it.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
How about sending the kid the baseball back and then
buying him season tickets and then buying.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Him a car in this case it was, and then.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Maybe buying him a house a tennis match.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Yeah, I think it was made right by the tennis
player with a name that Polish tennis player couldn't be pronounced.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yes, they gave him a new hat.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, so as well?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That ends well, I guess, but this guy was raked
over the Cols and so was his company.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And tennis balls do they have like Shohi Otani kind
of baseballs in tennis at all? You know, when you
win let's say the US Open, or you win Wimbledon
with that.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Last hit and you get a tennis ball?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Is that worth?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
And it's a little harder because have you ever tried
to sign a furry ball?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I don't even want to go there. I don't even
want to go there. We could do a lot with that,
you know that. All right, let's go ahead and finish
up pandle on the news with Amy Neil and me.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Best mayor ever.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
That's what President Trump is saying of Rudy Giuliani. The
President says he's going to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
which is the highest civilian honor in the US too,
the former New York City mayor, he posted on truth
Social the greatest mayor in history of New York City
and an equally great American patriot. Of course, this comes
(23:17):
just a couple of days after Giuliani got in a
pretty nasty car crash in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, there's an argument that he actually was. This
is a guy who ran the Southern District as the
attorney or the US Attorney and ran the Southern District
of New York and literally took on the big cartel,
took on the mafia and literally cleaned it up. Then
(23:44):
he ran for mayor. Remember during nine to eleven he
did a hell of a job. Then he went crazy,
then he drank the kool aid.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
So he have to give him credit for what he
did during Oh absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I don't know why it takes till now for him
to get recognition for those during that time.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, and he's going and he's also I think this
year going to win best use of hair dye by
a public figure.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
That was the weirdest thing ever, Wasn't that fantastic During
the press conference, he started sweating and his hair dye
started running down his face.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He doesn't get better than that, and he got weird,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Then he became a conspiracy theorist and one of the
leaders of the Stop the Election or the Election was
Stolen movement.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
All right, So Congress is back in session. Yay, stuff
is going to get done. Democratic rep talk about both
sides coming together on something. Democratic Representative Roe Conna of
California and Republican Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They're coming together. Wonder twin powers. What are they activating. Well,
they want.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, and
they people are going to be outraged. They're doing a
press conference on Wednesday tomorrow, ten victims of the late
convicted sex offender. And it's just going to be part
of this process of holding the feet to the fire
(25:14):
of the Trump administration saying you got to release this information.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, but the Trump administration first was screaming about the
file that the Justice Department had during the Biden administration.
You're holding on to it, you won't release it. And
now they are in power. Oh no, there is no file,
it doesn't exist. Then you had so that even got
the MAGA supporters upset.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And then you have the story of.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Juleene Maxwell, who had that nine hour conversation with the
Deputy US Attorney. Oh no, Trump did nothing. He was
a great guy in the hopes that she gets pardoned.
I don't think there is any doubt about that. Story
is amazing across the board.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Reading, writing, arithmetic, and AI.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
California's universities and community colleges are going to be offering
free AI training to help students master the new technology.
Google and Microsoft are going to offer a suite of
AI resources free to California schools and universities. In return,
the companies apparently could gain access to millions of new users.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What am I missing here? Isn't it so easy to
use AI? Don't you simply ask the questions?
Speaker 6 (26:37):
You got to know what questions to ask?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Oh? Yeah, Prompting is a whole okay thing?
Speaker 5 (26:42):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That resonates?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Okay, all right? What a split? What a difference a
decade makes? Back in twenty fifteen at a merger that
was put together by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and between
High and Craft Company, and now they're splitting. So the
new companies haven't been named, but they are focusing on,
(27:08):
you know, growing the business. And they said, being you know,
everything to everybody is just not working. So you'll have
one group or one business focusing on sauceas spreads shelf
stable meals. Those brands include Hines, Philadelphia Craft, Maca Cheese.
And then you're gonna have another company that is going
to be focusing on the grocery items that seem to
(27:31):
be struggling, and you know, foods away from you know,
all their other businesses. And you've got like Oscar Meyer
craft singles, lunchables, that type of thing, you.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Know, one of the things.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
And I'm looking at the story and anyone considered this
and it makes a lot of sense. First of all,
inflation has really hit a lot of people, so they
were staying away from snacks, and we've talked about that, Neil,
but also the.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Rise of the g l P one drugs like wagov.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, it has cost the food companies a ton of
money because people aren't eating the snacks.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
It's fascinating because and this all is going to take
place probably the first quarter of twenty twenty six. You know,
I was talking at your party to doctor Jim Keeney
about the GLP ones and stuff like that and how
they can change personalities a little bit too, because of
the way we have the receptors and the way we
(28:31):
kind of reward ourselves with things, and so you stop snacking.
A lot of people stop drinking and doing I mean,
which is good, but they it can change their personality
as well.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, I remember that conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
He said, However, in your case, Bill, I don't think
you can be more of an a hole no matter what.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Drug you oh nor your parents treated you so horribly
that that's not something a GLP one is going to
get out of your system.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Okay, we'll be back with the psychologist, doctor Neil Sabedra.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
How does that make you feel, Bill, It makes me
feel great.
Speaker 2 (29:10):

Any news to be had by one and all? No, no, nothing,
Noilbury popsicle day. It's blueberry seriously, blueberry popsicle day.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh uh?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Costco.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Costco is allowing the executive members to go back to
go early again.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
What did they stop it?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
They did during COVID I think.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
No, they reinstated that that you get in earlier, like
a month ago.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Oh, is that what it was?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
They just started something though, I know they're told.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Me about yesterday I was at Trader Joe's. One of
the things about Trader Joe's is the prices are so
damn good and they have things that Costco does not.
Now for those people that go to Costco, particularly management
at Costco, I just didn't say that. I just wanted
to let you guys know the Indian food there at
(04:58):
Costco is just unbelo believable. The frozen food, it is
so good and inexpensive. All right, guys, ready to do it.
We've got plenty of news coming up. Boy, what a
weekend it has been. What a few days it has been.
Robert Kennedy is completely out of his mind. I mean,
you talk about nuts. It's it doesn't stop. As a
(05:22):
matter of fact, we're going to start with a government story,
lead story.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Today.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Congress returns and four weeks they have until to fund
the government and avoid a governmental shutdown.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is it going to happen? Happen? Who the hell knows now?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Congressional leaders, Yeah, they say we're going to need another
short term funding extension, which happens every year and the
government funding expires at the end of September thirtieth, end
of the month, and it's going to be difficult.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It happens more than every year. It just happened a
couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well that's true, because the stop gaps stop at some point.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
They are stop gaps.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I don't know when the last time a budget
came into or came in on time. Now, California has
to have a budget constitutionally speaking, it has to have
a budget, none of this stop gap stuff. And it
has to be the budget. It has to make its budget.
It has to be reconciled, not the Senate or not
(06:35):
the House, not the government. And the problem is, in
order to get that budget, the Republicans, it'll be Republicans
who decide it'll be a sixty vote filibuster.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ain't going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And let me tell you, well, every Republican of course,
is going to vote for the president's budget everyone, but
I got to tell you they need sixty votes and
they don't have it. So there'll be a fight, a
big fight going on.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Especially and still bigger penalties.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Like a jail time.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No what I just mean, Like I don't know, like
cutting pay Well, that's.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
What they did in California. Remember, if they don't come
up with a budget, they don't get their paychecks.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's also reasonable a bunch of years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Did you know that if you're in the Senate or
the House and they talk about their people, that talk about, oh,
these guys are in it just what they can get
because they steal money. You know, there's no pension for
the Senate or the Assembly. They got rid of the pension.
You can spend twenty years or twelve years. Now I
think it's a lot more than that. Because they change
(07:44):
the rules.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You don't get a pension.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
This wasn't supposed to be jobs.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well originally it wasn't supposed to h It wasn't supposed
to be a job. But when you happen to with
a state that has a budget and it becomes the
fifth largest economy on the planet.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When it becomes East and West California, well.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's not going to happen that sorry, it's still going
to be a massive, massive economy. So there's been a
full time legislator with full staff. You have to you
know what invented the full time legislature. By the way,
the professional legislature here in California. Jesse Unroute just thought
i'd mentioned that I did not know that. Yeah, I know,
(08:26):
of course not. There's a factoid I just pulled out
of my ass.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, continuing on.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
The jackpot gets jacked up even more.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
No winner last night in the powerball drawing, well, there
were lots of winners, but no jackpot winner, meaning that
nobody matched all six winning numbers. So the jackpot for
Wednesday tomorrow night's drawing is one point three billion dollars.
But there was a ticket sold at the seventy six
on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks that matched five of
(08:58):
the six numbers. It's worth one four million.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, that's not quite the same as a billion.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I'd take a million, I know you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Would, but when you're that close, it's well, it depends
on how optimistic you are. But I would get really
pissed off if I would. I would just get pissed off.
Rich Remember Richard Marana who was our sports guy. Of
course you do, uh? He pulled five numbers once?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Really really?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? Yeah? A million. I wasn't even a million dollars
because there were enough people that pulled five numbers that
end up with I don't know, he got three thousand
or something dollars.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
That's what would happen if we want our pull here
at work, because there's like eighty of us in on it.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I pulled out of that. That's scammed somewhere. Michelle Cube
is living the high life with all that money she.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Multi happened.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Here's what will happen when Michelle does this is there
are eighty of us and if there is a ticket
in there, she'll have bought a single other ticket.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And yeah, this one was just for me. Yeah, I
want it on the record though. If I win a
billion dollars, kono, I'm getting you one of those McDonald's
gold cards.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah, bro.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
For I just want to point out Michelle is, uh,
if not one of the most honest person out there.
Of all the people in the world that would make
sure that we all got the money, it would be Michelle.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She actually sends photos of the numbers.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, I know a job now, Michelle xerox is all
the numbers.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And by the way, we have done so well.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We win twenty four dollars and we win eight dollars
and I don't know if we've ever won one hundred
dollars or two hundred dollars in one drawing.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, we're super unlucky.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Uh yeah, well that's a given. Look where you work,
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Okay, moving on one more story before we take a break.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
This story we talked about a little bit yesterday and
we figured it would grow. It still is the death
toll sword past fourteen hundred people, thousands of others that
are injured. If you remember that very strong earthquake in Afghanistan.
The reality is their their structures are crap. Yeah, they're
(11:23):
they're made out of sand or mud.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That's yeah, they're made out of mud.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And yeah, they people die.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It was a six point zero tembler, Yeah, six point zero.
What would it do here? You'd have some cracks in
the walls. But that's basically it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, it's it's sad and frustrating.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
But yeah, and the Taliban has asked for help throughout
the world and it will be coming, of course, because
politics are usually set aside when you have humanitarian issues
like that, and rightly so, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Trump says he wants answers now. The president posted on
social media about the COVID vaccine controversy that he says,
is ripping apart the CDC over whether it's successful or not.
He said he has seen great numbers and results from
some drug companies, but demanded they prove publicly that the
(12:19):
vaccines are effective in fighting COVID, and he also questioned
whether some of the data is being withheld. He said,
I want them to show now to the CDC and
to the public and clear up this whole mess one
way or the other. And then he said, I hope
Operation Warp Speed, which again happened under his watch, was
as brilliant as many say it was. But if not,
(12:41):
I want to know about it and why.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Actually it was as brilliant. You have to give him
a lot of credit. During his first term he threw
two billion dollars into developing the vaccine, and just it's
probably one of the best moves that he made. That's
part of his legacy and a very positive way. Now,
as soon as he left office and it was Joe
(13:04):
Biden who now administered the vaccine, that's a different story.
But still, and then what is it science? Legitimate science
as it does work, But God forbid that we use
legitimate science anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Because now I.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Was wondering who's being torn apart, like the scientists and
the not the C.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
The CDC is being torn apart because it's run by scientists.
It's run by real scientists as opposed to vaccine skeptics.
Remember he threw everybody out that was on that advisory panel,
which has been which has the reputation of being extraordinary
(13:50):
in the reviews and the advice that it gives. The
CDC all gone, yeah, it's okay to question science.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I don't have a problem with that. I think that
that's important. But you know they did that with the
head injuries in the NFL. You remember all the scientists
were like no, no, no, and then one STA.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
But that is that is aberrational.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
By the way, it is question before the CDC gives
permission or recommends. These are all peer reviewed studies. They
don't just arbitrarily do it because it's someone's opinion.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh I realized that, Hey, I had my kid vaccinated.
And if you think that's not a tough decision to
make when there's a lot of noise in the background,
I'm just saying that I'm not someone who thinks science
is so you know, it's still run by people.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And no and I gave my kids vaccines. Of course
they only look down and won't look at you in
the eye. But that hey, well can I tell you?
And not speaking very well?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Okay, moving on, all right. We talked a bit about this.
Yesterday Burning Man came to an end, and a weird
one at that. A man found lying in a pool
of blood was dead when the cops got there. This
was during the big culmination, the one hundred foot effigy
of a man out of wood being burned. And they
(15:11):
know that between eight and nine thirty local time there
in Nevada is when this murder. They believe it's a
homicide took place. But they don't even know the name
of the guy. They don't know the identity of the guy,
let alone who killed him. He's described as a white male.
Listen to this, approximately thirty five or forty years old,
(15:32):
six feet tall, two hundred pounds, with short brown hair
and facial hair. That sounds like everybody at a Burning
Man to me, like, if you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Will find out, they'll do DNA tests. But the story
goes on.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There have been at least eight other deaths at the
festival since nineteen ninety. My favorite one in twenty twenty seventeen,
Arrol Aaron Joel Mitchell, forty one years old, ran into
the Burning Man. It had been lit on fire.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's a little different. He's apparently part moth.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yes, I would say that DNA from what I've heard
about the Burning Man, might be a harder way to
decide who someone is. It's like, we've got fifteen different
DNAs in here.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Especially that orgy tent. Yeah, yeah, right, the dough, the dome.
There's all kinds of DNA in there.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I would never go into one of those ever.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Again, No, because everybody would say, no, I don't need
that for my self esteem.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
They'd go, ma'am, you go over here.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
But yeah, you know what, we've had enough. Why don't
you go over there in the corner. Ah, right, one
more and then we'll take a break.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Defending her decision, Supreme Court Justice Amy Cony Barrett already
has a new book out.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
It's her memoir.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
She defends her decision on overturning rovers Way.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
In it, she said that.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Rovers's way usurped the will of the American people and
came at a cost. So the Court's role is to
respect choices that the people have agreed upon, not to
tell them what they should agree to.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a weird comment because that's not what the court does.
The Court simply outright interprets the Constitution and it doesn't
matter what the people think. It doesn't matter. You know,
you have the majority of Americans who believe in abortion.
What if the people believed in slavery or believed in discrimination.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
That's kind of what I heard out of that, though
she said, we're not we're not trying to force, we're
not trying to see what the people want and say, Okay,
this is it. This I've heard that different.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Okay, I didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The role of the court is is to respect the
choices that people have agreed upon, not to tell them
what they should agree to. I'm going to go back
to what I said. It's it doesn't matter what the
people agree to or not. Yes, the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Is she referring to the Constitution though, when.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
She's referring to the court, and then she talked about
the will of the people.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The will of the people have nothing to do with
the court.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Very strange.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, all right, So Hamas continues get knocked off one
by one. Israel has said that they have killed a
long time spokesperson for Hamas, And you know that's basically it.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I mean, it's one by one.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
This guy was known for his fiery speeches and you
know he'd wrap himself.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What are those things called again?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Uh, the tablecloth looking thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
The one around his head.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, the one looked yeah at the Palestinione looks like Yeah.
They went to an Italian restaurant the night before.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And they grabbed Uh, I have one around here somewhere
I got in Jordan. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I have
one too. Day anyways, so another one down.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yep, and now it's over sweat sixty three thousand palest
Indians killed, of which we don't know how many are militants,
probably about third of them and the rest are not.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
The kids are home and the famili's talking. You may
have heard us talking about this if you were listening
to KFI over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
But there were three.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Kids sitting in the backseat of a car and mom
ran in to the seven to eleven and left the
car running. That was an East LA on Friday, and
somebody jumped in their car and took off with it
with the kids inside, and they started a high speed chase.
(19:48):
They went through parts of LA, continued on the Pacific
Coast Highway near Canaan Dune Road in Malibu, and that's
when the guy crashed into another car on pch and
the kids were taken to the hospital. They're two, seven
and nine. They're all out of the hospital now, which
is great.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
How many people who hijack cars even pay attention the
thought of stealing a car and having kids in the car.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I don't think people do that on purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I know, But don't you think you just park it
and get the hell out.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Of there, because I think I think now you've got
kidnapping charges, now you've got child endangerment charges.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, you're in. It's not just stealing your car for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Another story that we see, you know, one of these
things where they at a sportings event and someone you know,
the sports star signed something and it goes to a
kid and then someone takes it. Well, this one happened
and we talked about it yesterday the US Open and
it looked like something was being given to the child,
(20:54):
a hat that was signed and it was stolen or
taken from him by Alish CEO.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Have you seen the video of it. Yes, yeah, he
grabs it right out.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Of the ky oh.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah, and you can tell that it's it's shady, you
know why he gives it to a woman next to
him and shoves it in a purse. Yes, he didn't
like throws it over his head like head like, oh
he gave this to me, goes he shoves it. It
was obvious that he knew what he was doing and
he was a prick. But he came out and apologized
and he said, you know, I take full responsibility.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
And what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
By the way, when you take full responsibility, what are
the consequences?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It just means you don't take parshalability.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I've never understood that well that he's trying to make
it sound like, hey, I don't give any excuses because
he started to go in the heat.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Of the moment, blah blah, and then he sending it.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
How about sending the kid the baseball back and then
buying him season tickets and then buying.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Him a car in this case it was, and then.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Maybe buying him a house a tennis match.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Yeah, I think it was made right by the tennis
player with a name that Polish tennis player couldn't be pronounced.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yes, they gave him a new hat.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, so as well?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That ends well, I guess, but this guy was raked
over the Cols and so was his company.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And tennis balls do they have like Shohi Otani kind
of baseballs in tennis at all? You know, when you
win let's say the US Open, or you win Wimbledon
with that.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Last hit and you get a tennis ball?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Is that worth?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
And it's a little harder because have you ever tried
to sign a furry ball?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I don't even want to go there. I don't even
want to go there. We could do a lot with that,
you know that. All right, let's go ahead and finish
up pandle on the news with Amy Neil and me.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Best mayor ever.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
That's what President Trump is saying of Rudy Giuliani. The
President says he's going to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
which is the highest civilian honor in the US too,
the former New York City mayor, he posted on truth
Social the greatest mayor in history of New York City
and an equally great American patriot. Of course, this comes
(23:17):
just a couple of days after Giuliani got in a
pretty nasty car crash in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, there's an argument that he actually was. This
is a guy who ran the Southern District as the
attorney or the US Attorney and ran the Southern District
of New York and literally took on the big cartel,
took on the mafia and literally cleaned it up. Then
(23:44):
he ran for mayor. Remember during nine to eleven he
did a hell of a job. Then he went crazy,
then he drank the kool aid.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
So he have to give him credit for what he
did during Oh absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I don't know why it takes till now for him
to get recognition for those during that time.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, and he's going and he's also I think this
year going to win best use of hair dye by
a public figure.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
That was the weirdest thing ever, Wasn't that fantastic During
the press conference, he started sweating and his hair dye
started running down his face.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He doesn't get better than that, and he got weird,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Then he became a conspiracy theorist and one of the
leaders of the Stop the Election or the Election was
Stolen movement.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
All right, So Congress is back in session. Yay, stuff
is going to get done. Democratic rep talk about both
sides coming together on something. Democratic Representative Roe Conna of
California and Republican Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
They're coming together. Wonder twin powers. What are they activating. Well,
they want.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
The Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, and
they people are going to be outraged. They're doing a
press conference on Wednesday tomorrow, ten victims of the late
convicted sex offender. And it's just going to be part
of this process of holding the feet to the fire
(25:14):
of the Trump administration saying you got to release this information.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, but the Trump administration first was screaming about the
file that the Justice Department had during the Biden administration.
You're holding on to it, you won't release it. And
now they are in power. Oh no, there is no file,
it doesn't exist. Then you had so that even got
the MAGA supporters upset.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And then you have the story of.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Juleene Maxwell, who had that nine hour conversation with the
Deputy US Attorney. Oh no, Trump did nothing. He was
a great guy in the hopes that she gets pardoned.
I don't think there is any doubt about that. Story
is amazing across the board.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Reading, writing, arithmetic, and AI.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
California's universities and community colleges are going to be offering
free AI training to help students master the new technology.
Google and Microsoft are going to offer a suite of
AI resources free to California schools and universities. In return,
the companies apparently could gain access to millions of new users.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What am I missing here? Isn't it so easy to
use AI? Don't you simply ask the questions?
Speaker 6 (26:37):
You got to know what questions to ask?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Oh? Yeah, Prompting is a whole okay thing?
Speaker 5 (26:42):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That resonates?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Okay, all right? What a split? What a difference a
decade makes? Back in twenty fifteen at a merger that
was put together by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and between
High and Craft Company, and now they're splitting. So the
new companies haven't been named, but they are focusing on,
(27:08):
you know, growing the business. And they said, being you know,
everything to everybody is just not working. So you'll have
one group or one business focusing on sauceas spreads shelf
stable meals. Those brands include Hines, Philadelphia Craft, Maca Cheese.
And then you're gonna have another company that is going
to be focusing on the grocery items that seem to
(27:31):
be struggling, and you know, foods away from you know,
all their other businesses. And you've got like Oscar Meyer
craft singles, lunchables, that type of thing, you.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Know, one of the things.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
And I'm looking at the story and anyone considered this
and it makes a lot of sense. First of all,
inflation has really hit a lot of people, so they
were staying away from snacks, and we've talked about that, Neil,
but also the.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Rise of the g l P one drugs like wagov.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, it has cost the food companies a ton of
money because people aren't eating the snacks.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
It's fascinating because and this all is going to take
place probably the first quarter of twenty twenty six. You know,
I was talking at your party to doctor Jim Keeney
about the GLP ones and stuff like that and how
they can change personalities a little bit too, because of
the way we have the receptors and the way we
(28:31):
kind of reward ourselves with things, and so you stop snacking.
A lot of people stop drinking and doing I mean,
which is good, but they it can change their personality
as well.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, I remember that conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
He said, However, in your case, Bill, I don't think
you can be more of an a hole no matter what.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Drug you oh nor your parents treated you so horribly
that that's not something a GLP one is going to
get out of your system.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Okay, we'll be back with the psychologist, doctor Neil Sabedra.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
How does that make you feel, Bill, It makes me
feel great.
Speaker 2 (29:10):

Handle Show.
