I remember correctly, the dong always goes for more money.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Excellent.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
But what you know, I don't know what Conway does,
but that was very funny.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I don't know either.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
And he gives Way ding dongs, and he does in
addition to doing it. But I'll tell you what I'm
going to do with Neil this year, something we've never
done before, and that is we are going.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
To broadcast on the beach.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Oh yeah, no, this is Neil and I are going
to show you our romantic interlude.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's correct.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Here's what we're going to do, Neil and I. Neil
does the Fork Report, of course, every Saturday from two
to five, and sometimes he does remotes and broadcasts from
various locations, and I usually join Neil for those. We
are having a sort of a private broadcast where the
public is not invited, and it's going to be at
(04:08):
my house. It's going to be a grilling barbecue event
at my house where the high bidder will be invited
to my house and we have about twenty people there,
mainly friends and family. Is going to be a very
private event and two people will be invited will be
(04:28):
that will be auctioned off to join us.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It'll be catered by Anaheim White House.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
We also have some great goodies to give away, including
some platinum not Cookwar set of knives, seventeen set of knives,
a very high end set of knives retail two thousand dollars,
a year's worth of Zellman's mentee mouth and we're still
putting stuff together so that if we don't get the
(04:57):
most money for this auction, I am quitting this sh shoh.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
So here's what's going to happen is people are going
to they're going to join the auction, They're going to bid,
and all of the other hosts will call them up
and pay them more money than what they're bidding.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Not to bid, you might incentifize people not to bid.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Now, yeah, that's gonna be a problem. But anyways, it
became a complete competition. Yeah, oh, it's.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Always a competition. And the Morning Crew will be there.
They're joining us because I was shamed into inviting them.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Well maybe we don't want to go.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, I didn't confirm. I just said i'd invite you.
And I don't know when I said.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
When I said to lindsay I didn't invite them, she
laid into me. Anyway, the morning crew is invited, and
we'll see how many people join us. There'll be grill
masters there, they'll be pit masters there. There's gonna be
a lot of food there and just hang out while
Neil and I broadcasts, and it's it's gonna be a
(06:03):
great art at my house. We've never done that, never ever, Neil,
have you ever had You've never had listeners at your house? No?
Uh and uh, Amy, you've never had anybody at your
two hundred square feet apartment.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Not.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, yes, I have, well, not our listeners and not
an option item.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Oh, you're you're right, okay, andret what and Will has
I'm sure never done that. And I'm sure and has
never done that. And Kno has never done that.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And so listeners over to my backyard and cook for
them as well.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Have you had listeners?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I've never done that, but I would love to.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, well we're starting.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Okay, then maybe next year we do one at my
house and a separate one at your house.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh great, Now I got to make a cardboard elevator.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah you do. And oh there's a lot of things.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well, Neil has written the the announced. Yeah, and one
of the one of the big big auction items is
you get to sit on my chair where I broadcast
Keeping in Mind. During the summer, I broadcast Commando. So
(07:18):
you'll be sitting where my bare ass sits for weeks
at a time. That is going to be the item
that's going to be auctioned off at the highest price. Okay,
are you guys ready to go? And that I think
that starts on Monday. The auction items are put on
the website. If I am not mistaken, Okay, let's do it, guys.
(07:38):
We've got plenty to cover obviously on this Thursday morning,
handle on the news, Amy Neil me lead story.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Jeff some good sign the bill.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Forcing mandating the Justice Department to release the Epstein file,
of which it has and for months President Trump was
pushing like crazy not to release it, as the Republicans
were pushing like crazy not to release it, as Pam Bondy,
the Attorney General, was part of not releasing it. Of course,
(08:15):
everybody's changed their mind because we're talking about pedophiles here
and that's not going to fly not releasing it. However,
as I said yesterday, is it going to be released
only part of it? Because all Pam Bondi had to
do was say, we're opening up an investigation, and therefore
we don't have to release any part of the investigation.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You're going to see a modified release, just like I said,
and the investigation includes only Democrats. However, you betcha that
any mention of Trump is also going to be not mentioned.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Didn't she originally say that the Justice Department said they
did not cover evidence that could predicate and investigation.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
She did, and she was asked yesterday, wait a second,
you changed your mind. You said that you the just
a department looked at it and there was nothing there.
Why are you opening up the investigation? We found new information?
What new information? I can't tell you. It's under investigation,
it's it's this is a croc This is an obfuscation
(09:28):
of what's going on.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
No surprise. Could it be no surprise at all because
he's president. Could it be requested that anything that involves
or has the name of President Trump not in the
investigation be released?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Oh? Sure, but that but this is a bill that
the president would veto unless that was changed, because there's
no chance that it's all going to be released. This
is a political cover up. It's that simple. This is
just a croc no surprise there. And I said that yesterday,
and I've said that before. And here there's another issue
(10:00):
with a Justice Department.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Rookie mistake or malicious omission. The Justice Department lawyers have
acknowledged that a full grand jury never actually reviewed the
indictment filed against former FBI director James Comy. So here's
what happened. Apparently, prosecutors said the grand jury had declined
to approve one of three proposed counts. Remember they filed three.
(10:24):
They said no to one. So then rather than present
a new revised document that only included the two counts,
they gave it to the four person to just sign
it before it was delivered to a judge. And that
is where the whole issue is is that the full
(10:45):
grand jury never saw the full indictment.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And that's the law, by the way.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And now you have a judge that is asking this
prosecutor who has never prosecuted a case in her life.
She was a civil attorney that was put into place
to place the prosecutor who said there was no evidence
against or not enough evidence against Komi, who was promptly
fired and replaced by this non prosecutorial expert who is
(11:12):
now the attorney, the US attorney. I think it's Virginia
where it was filed. This case is going to fall apart.
It's that simple. This case is going to fall apart.
And I think the problem is he's the president is
not going to be able to say that this was
(11:34):
a left wing, you know, left wing judge, a radical
left wing judge. I think he's the one that appointed
this judge. If I'm not mistaken, I think so. I
may be wrong on that. Anyway, the indictment is going
to be dropped. The case is going to be dropped.
The court is going to dismiss it with prejudice, which
(11:56):
means it will not be able to be brought again.
It's you know, so this is what the Department of
Justice is doing let's go after people no matter what
the evidence is.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
All right, you know, you see universities here in California
love a good protest and unless it's about tuition. So
confronting all these costs and demands, of course, the problems
with federal funding and the gaps they're in, you have
the University of California regents on Wednesday approving a tuition hike.
(12:30):
So yeah, even though you had they voted, the board
voted thirteen to three, even though they had a bunch
of students protesting.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, they can't.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Afford to keep on going.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Do you see as losing money, particularly because inflation is
hit and tuition is not kept up with inflation. You've
got federal money that's been cut because of the Trump administration.
You have state money that's been cut because we're looking
at it eighteen billion dollar deficit this year in the
state budget. So put all that together, it's going to
(13:05):
cost you a chunk to go to University of California.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I'm surprised they didn't come out to quell all the
anger and say, listen, this is because of the Jews.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Precisely. That's a good point that's a very good point.
Yamica's would become illegal. And all people have to say is,
wait a minute, I have a costume. That's a pope costume.
That's why I'm wearing this. Or you can put a
propeller on it and say this is not a Yamica.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Okay, that is a visual. Moving on.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
We may buy all of our stuff from China, but
Mexico is buying all its stuff from US. Mexico is
now the world's top buyer of US goods, outpacing Canada
for the first time in nearly thirty years. Just two
years ago, Mexico, Mexico became the country that sold the
most goods to the US, sur passing China. So you know,
(13:57):
we're buddies. Mexico is the United States, It's main trading park, and.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
There are several reasons for reasons for that, and I'll
cover that at seven o'clock as we move on.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
All right, Larry Summers, who is an instructor at Harvard,
is immediately leaving due to an Epstein pro turns out
he was buddies, and he said, some of you will
have seen my statement of regret expressing my shame with
respect to what I did in communication with mister Epstein,
(14:35):
he tells a bunch of students during a video he
posted online. But he's under scrutiny emails just this month.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah, way too close to relationship. Not necessarily you're probably
not sexually with minors. I don't think that happened, but
just way too close to Epstein emails, going back and
forth and even seeking advice from EPs Steen on his
love life. And we have a new verb, and that
(15:05):
is to handle. And that involves asking people for sex
and all of them say no, and then saying, Okay,
what do I do? And that's asking Epstein for that
kind of advice. All right, I had to go there,
you know, bad joke, self clothing, self loathing.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Jew September's jobs report just dropped, and it's hot. US
economy added a whole lot more jobs than expected. One
hundred nineteen thousand jobs were added for September. Again, this
is not October numbers, where we might never get those
because of the shutdown, But in September, one hundred and
(15:42):
nineteen thousand additional jobs of the estimates were that it
was going to be about fifty thousand. Also, average hourly
earnings increased point two percent for the month, three point
eight percent from a year ago.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, great for the administration's position that the economy is
actually doing Okay, Now, is this report prior to those
massive layoffs that Amazon and other major players created or had.
I don't know the timeline here. Oh, let's check, because
there were hundreds of thousands of layoffs and people were
(16:16):
being laid off because of AI and that's increasing in numbers.
So either it's terrific news for the administration and Donald
Trump's position regarding the economy, or the numbers aren't in
that actually show the problems we may have and we
may not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Amy's looking do do dude.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Doo do do saying that they're huge. Just they laid
off like ten thousand, but that was a couple of
years ago for the fourteen thousand corporate jobs in the Yeah,
but it.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Was Amazon laid off three hundred thousand people. So we'll see.
But right now, it's very good news for the administration
in terms of the economy.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
However, we're not all dead yet.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah, and the next story doesn't make any sense anymore
because it's a cooling economy sets the stage for the
high stakes report.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well, we got the report.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Okay, Bill, this is saying that Amazon laid off thirty thousand,
not three hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
All right, So I'm bad at decimal points.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Wow, it's still a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, but it's not three hundred thousand.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
You know, it's got a decimal point and buy something
for thirty bucks or you think it's thirty dollars and
it's actually three hundred.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's problematic.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
One more and then when he has to do inches,
all right, Trump Advance not invited to Dick Cheney's funeral,
but every other of the four living former vice presidents attending.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, that will you talk about a you talk about
a statement?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Man.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I mean it's well known that those two can't stand
each other exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
But at the same time, how do you not invite
a sitting president and a sitting vice president. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It just shows how personal this has gotten.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
And of course I expect to hear because of the
invitation not being sent to Trump in advance. I think
we're going to get a statement saying this is a
radical left wing funeral, let's a hoax that there's no
one's actually being buried.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
He's going to.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Say, yes, that's a good point. Yeah, I mean, that's
that's a statement. It really is you talk about. All right,
Moving on.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Who's pitching in and why. Democrats have introduced a legislation
to put guard rails around those donations that are going
to pay for construction on the White House grounds. President
tump Trump soited private money to help fund that three
hundred million dollar East Wing ballroom. The legislation is sponsored
(19:07):
by Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts and California Representative Robert Garcia.
It would prevent prohibit the president from soliciting donations, ban
the display of donor names, bar donors from remaining anonymous,
and would also put in place a two year cooling
off period in which donors would be prohibited from lobbying
(19:31):
the government. It's called the Stop Ballroom Bribery Act.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Assuming it passes the House Representatives, no chance, and it
passes the Senate, no chance. What are the chances of
the President vetoing yet? One hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
They'd have to get a super majority to stop that.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That is correct, and there is no chance.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
All right, Let's see toenail clippers new over three ounces,
No meat cleaver let them in.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So somehow a.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Meat cleaver made its way through the airport security onto
a Delta flight. The incident occurred at Portland International Airport
in Oregon on November thirteenth. Now, you know, they don't
know how it got through at this point, so they're
opening up this investigation. But according to the TSA, the
(20:31):
passenger passed through the security checkpoint with the meat cleaver
in their carry on bag, so it didn't even go
under the plane.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
So under the plane would have been legal, Right, you can.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Pass Yeah, I think it would be Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Yeah, because you can take your guns too, they just
have to be locked up and going into there. But yeah,
and it's not a small knife. If you've ever seen
a cleaver, now, this is a murder murder knife.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
This is yeah, yeah, you chop people up with it.
This is a dismember yeah, okay, weighted yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
California is coming up short way short budgetary woes continue
worse than expected. State lawmakers are said to be expected
to grapple with a nearly eighteen billion dollars shortfall next year.
That's five billion dollars more than estimates from just in June.
According to the Legislative Analysts Office, State costs for medical
(21:32):
and CALFRASH, which provide healthcare and food assistance to Californians
in need. We're one point three billion dollars more than anticipated.
Apparently that's due to federal cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill,
and obviously other areas as well.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Yeah, pencils are more expensive, for example, the state's expenses
far more than anticipated, although you know, you look at
inflation and a couple of propositions that were passed. I
think when Newsome came into office, he had a twenty
five billion dollar surplus.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't that many.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Years ago a big surplus.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It was huge.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
You better fix it. If he's running for president.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
You bet, because that's going to be uh, that's not
going to be easy to dispute or refute.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
All right, let's do one more and we'll take a
breath that dipity do.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Sorry to all the foil heads.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
NASA yesterday released new images and data on Comment three
I at Liss and it's a rare interstellar object, but
a lot of speculation, a lot of online debate on
whether it was a spacecraft.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
And they said this object is a comment.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Oh, what are they gonna say?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I mean, come on, Amy K King, knock it off.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Are they going to say this is a plot by
either left wing or right wing fanatics, which is probably
flying around on the internet.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It turns out it's a comment.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
What makes it interesting is just one pass past the
Earth and then it's gone into the solar system. We'll
never see it again.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
And it's not going to exactly be close. It's going
to be one hundred and seventy million miles away when
it gets close stealing that might be close.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, that's pretty close as far as a comment wise.
All right, let's finish up handle on the news on
this Thursday morning, Amy, Neil and.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Me could be better than a UFC fight. President Trump
announced the TEA plans to host New York City Mayor
elect Zorn mom Donnie in the Oval Office. It's their
first face to face meeting now. Mom Donnie's team said
that it did reach out because of a commitment made
to New Yorkers. Mom Donnie said, I would be willing
(23:50):
to meet with anyone and everyone is, so long as
it is to benefit the eight point five million people
who call the city home and their struggle to afford
the most expensive city in the U s of a.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah, and the President still called him a communist, ripped
into him, but will meet him, which.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
He says he'll talk to anybody.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, so that should be a lot of fun. And
then the meeting in the White House. You think it's
going to be in the Oval Office? What'd you say,
Neil no I.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
So they hope they roll out the red carpet.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Oh, very strong, very strong. And then there'll be a picture.
You know, you have the portraits of the presidents. Mom,
Donnie will be bringing as a gift that he portray
of Karl Marx to put up on the wall of
the Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Oh, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Billionaires everywhere. Prominent democrat, very very deep pockets.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
We've heard his name.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
He's a hedge fund founder and activist, Tom Steyer. He
announced his candidacy yesterday and he's going to run for
California governor because that's what we need.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Didn't run for president.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
He did, and he got three votes and they were
all family members.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
He actually finished third in South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
That's interesting. South Carolina is not a particularly liberal state,
is it.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
That's the one that Biden won that kind of put
him back in the race.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Then It's a pretty liberal state, isn't it. It was
similar was Clyborne? Wasn't it that really did it? And
he's from South Carolina? Yes, Carolina Claiborne.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Are pretty liberal.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yeah, uh, this is just a weird story. A former
Olympic snowboarder who allegedly became the head of a billion
dollar drug trafficking or drug trafficking organization has been charged
with ordering the murder of a witness against him earlier
this year. Ryan Wedding is Canadian. He is on the
FBI's ten most wanted fugitive list. He apparently put out
(26:02):
the order earlier this year. And a person was shot
to death in a restaurant in Meta Yine, Columbia. That
happened in January of this year. A Wedding, who is
forty four years old, is believed to be a fugitive
in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
And I don't even know if he speaks Spanish, does
he does he have any you know? I mean Ryan
Wedding his last name. And if you look at a
picture of him, he does not look Hispanic. I know
that's completely racist. You can't say that someone looks Hispanic.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
What do they look like Bill.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
