Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The question is what do you think is in the
Epstein files? If you're on the iHeartRadio app, just hit
that talkback button. Let us know what do you think
is in the Epstein files. Dive into that here. In
just a few moments, I think there was a talkback
regarding the the colt the Proposition fifty. The DOJ is
suing California over Prop fifty.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
What they're doing is, oh, lads, tho stupid politicians hearing
California spend the money to do this especial election for
one proposition fifty. Then after we spend money we don't have.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
As soon as spread.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know, sometimes when I drink, I think it's a
good idea to call radio stations too, And then I
always try to present myself as not slurring. But if
I listened back to it later, it was always on
and see, just like that.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
That's me. I feel like I could use a shot
with really loosen things up for me tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Are you sure you did not have one?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That's no, I need one. I need a little tongue lube.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I never want to hear you say that, all right,
I need it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I need something to loosen things up. I keep tripping
over my own.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's what I need.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I do actually agree with him on one thing, and
that is that we paid for an election to respond
to Texas changing their maps, and now that the election
is over, we're paying the DOJ to sue us, and
we're paying to defend ourselves from the DOJ. So this
feels like a good use of stage funds. Thank god
we're paying taxes.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And why is it?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Because the politicians are trying to take this concept of
majority rule away by jerrymandering maps so that they get
to stay in power. Whether it's Texas that does this,
or whether it's California, or whether it's any of the
other states that try to jerrymander. It's all to try
to draw maps that are the most beneficial for their parties.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Period. That's it. You know what I think we should do? Mm?
I mean not.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I was just thinking what we should do is we
should take everybody is registered to vote in the state
and just put put it in a big hopper, right,
and then you just start drawing names at random. First
eight hundred thousand going to District one, eight one thousand
going District two. Next eight hundred thousand going to District three.
But the problem is we don't live next to each other,
and we have to represent, you know, what's near us.
Have you seen what some of these maps are though, God,
(02:49):
they're so insane. There's uh, my wife is in Michigan.
She was talking to She goes, which district are we unit?
I said, it keeps changing, we keep getting jerrymandered. And
it's like one district is the entire east side of
the state except Detroit, except for one little street that
draws the district all the way down into it.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You know, like, what is that about?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Lived in Kansas and there was They called it the
Big One because it basically covered everything except Wichita and
Kansas City. But even then we catch just little outskirts
of those towns to make sure you got everybody in there.
It's just ridiculous. Of course, you see it here, you're
gonna see it even worse here. You're gonna see the
jerry mannering here is, which is gonna go terrible. All right, here,
(03:36):
move me on to this. I told you i'd talk
about Epstein, not because I'm really excited to talk about Epstein,
but because it's not going away, and it's not going away.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Here's what is really interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's not going away because MAGA doesn't want it to
go away. And so the President has said it's a
democratic hoax, and yet it's his supporters that are saying, cool,
just show us what's in there.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Then overnight President Trump defending his extraordinary order to his
Attorney General and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement
and relationship with several prominent Democrats.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh see, if it were just investigate Epstein and his
involvement with several prominent politicians, I'd go yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
But instead he goes, I just want you to take
and I.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Wanted to find anyone on this other that is, and
if they're a Republican, we're not gonna investigate them, because
why would you do that.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
We've gotten to the point where the politicians don't feel
like they need to represent everyone in their country or
their district or their state because we basically assume that
they're not representing us if we didn't vote for him,
and so we sort of accept that we're going to
get craped on if our team loses, and it drives
(05:04):
tribalism even further.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Including former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers,
and quote many other people in institutions.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Now, I find it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
A bit hard to believe that Bill Clinton would have
been involved sexually with someone that isn't his wife.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Can I those dots for me? How is that even possible? Look? Look,
here's this is Clinton years ago. They were trying to
pin things on him. But I want to say one
thing to the American people.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I want you to listen to me.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I'm going to say this again. Okay, what I think
I did not? Yeah, have yes, sexual exaculations for that woman, right,
miss Lewinsky.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I never told anybody to lie, not a single.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Time, never, never, And these allegations are false. That's right,
And I need to go back to work for the
American people.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
See perfect Presidents don't lie about having extra marital affairs.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
What more evidence do you need? You need? No more
evidence ever.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And if anybody is doing something wrong, it's it's not
anyone who ever occupied the oral office Oval office.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I am considered the chief law enforcements, an agent in
the country, and.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm allowed to do.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly responding on Friday, Will Do,
saying the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity.
This comes even though Bondi herself had closed the Epstein
case earlier this year, declaring we did not uncover evidence
that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And again, politicians don't lie to the American people, especially
when there's cameras on.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Tom Democrats calling Trump panicked and desperate.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Well, Donald Trump investigated as part of this or is
there going to be one set of rules for Donald
Trump's friends and supporters another set for his critics.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Former President Clinton did travel on Epstein's play multiple times
after his presidency, but Clinton says he was unaware of
Epstein's crimes had never visited Epstein's private island. He has
not been accused of wrongdoing. A spokesperson for the Clinton
Foundation says, exactly.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
I did not go to Epstein Island and diddle them kids.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I never did anything like that, and I also have
no idea where I left my cigar.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
These emails proved Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing.
The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring, shutdowns,
and who knows what else.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think there's too many Democrats that wouldn't sacrifice
the legacy of Bill Clinton in order to take down Trump.
I think that, I think most Democrats that's a fair trade.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Even some Republicans pushing back on Trump's demand, I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Would ask him not to do that, because all it
does is taint our legal system.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
The song comes two days after the House Oversight Committee
released thousands of documents from Extine's The State, many of
them mentioned Trump, No No in a twenty seventeen emails.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, I'm bored with all this. You get the point.
It's not going anywhere. Meanwhile, you've got MAGA that is confused.
There is a political calculus going on right now. You're
gonna hear what that is in just a few moments.
And if you if you were asked, if a politician
came to you and said, I will give you money
(08:44):
if you just forget all the bad stuff about me,
how much would it take?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Ooh, it's a moral dilemma. That's next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Chris Merril KFI ams more stimulating talk on demand anytime
the iHeartRadio app. When you're on that app, go ahead
and hit that to talk back button and let us
know what you think is in the Epstein files. What's
in there? Why are we fighting so hard to hide
(09:18):
what's in there? And then remember we were told by Cash,
Mittel and Pambondi everything was in there, and the files
are there, and then there's a list and everything else.
And then they got into office and they went, well,
you know what, there's nothing here. And now we're a
few months later and they go, oh, but we are
going to investigate all that nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
There is there? Nothing?
Speaker 9 (09:37):
There?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Is there? Something there? Which is it?
Speaker 10 (09:42):
You know, there's really no real mystery surrounding why Trump
has decided to suddenly have an interest in investigating these files. Okay,
and we all know where that's going to go anyway,
regardless of whether it's directed to Democrats or Republicans.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But just side note, why is his voice so much
better than mine?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I'm so jealous, I.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Was thinking it. I'm glad you said it.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, no, it's true.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, he has so much.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Right once he's forced to release the files since all
the votes have been done. He's going to say, sorry,
I can't. They're under criminal investigation. No, mark my word.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, uh yeah, the hmmm yeah, I mean that is
a good point. The thing is, though, is that the
way that this is being done is legally weird. Where
the representatives are voting to release the files, that bill
would then go to the Senate. The Senate would then
have to have sixty votes to release the files. Coincidentally
(10:50):
or maybe ironically, you never tell the difference between the two.
They have to have sixty votes in order to overcome
a filibuster, the same filibuster that Trump.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Says he wants to eliminate.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But even if the Senate has the votes, it would
then go to Trump's desk and he would have to
sign off on the bill, and if he vetos it,
then it would take the what is it, two thirds
majority to override the veto. So is that going to happen?
Probably not. What is interesting right now is to watch
the Republicans try to figure out if they are going
(11:22):
to be on team Trump or team Maga, because Maggo
doesn't want to let this go. Maga says no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
there's something here. Jonathan Carl was talking about that with
ABC News.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
The first thing you look for is how many Republicans
actually vote in favor of this.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Look.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
The President tried, as you heard Selena Recount, he tried
mightily to prevent a vote on this from happening, to
the point of bringing one member of Congress, one Ally Bobert,
Congressman Bobert, to the situation room to meet with the
Attorney General and the FBI director. He try mightily to
(12:01):
keep this from happening. The vote, it now looks like,
will be happening. And what I'm looking for is just
how many Republicans crossover and vote for it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I think the number could be quite large.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
It could be forty to fifty, maybe even more than that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, So are they concerned with re election and they
want Trump's endorsement because, as we found out from Marjorie
Taylor Green, he will gank that endorsement in a hurry.
Or are they concerned with the voters and the voters
are not going to be happy unless those files are released.
It's kind of a it's a Maga catch twenty two
happening right now. Like which maga do they want to be?
(12:35):
Do they want to be the ones that get to
the bottom of child predators in Epstein or do they
want to be the maga that supports President Trump and
whatever he says goes. That's that's the catch twenty two
right now. How much would it cost if I wanted
to buy your vote?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Don't worries. Totally legal, totally legal, and there's no there's
no obligation. You don't have to vote for me, but.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sure would be a shame if anything bad happened to
you or your family if you didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chris Merril, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Hit that talkback button and answer the question what do
you think is in the Epstein files?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What do you think is in there?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let us know and if it's good, might even play
it for you. It's Chris Merrill. I AM six forty
more stimulating talk I Lincoln Zales. I have an apology
for you, and that is that I tend to say
thank you at the end of the show, and then
I always get to the end of the show and
I realize I forgot to say thank you to you.
So I wanted to make sure you did it before
you took off because you guys have that weird shift
(13:46):
change right in the middle of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So anyway, thank you, appreciate it. No, she's scrambling. That's
all right. Now you can go potty. You go pop Pa.
It's okay, Eileen, you go. No, No, I.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Just back. I'm trying to go get some tea.
Speaker 12 (14:10):
Eileen gave me a heart attack yesterday, Chris, So if
you don't thank her every now and again, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is what happens when they don't have Eileen studio
looking into my studio.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I honestly, I thought I killed Kaylee yesterday. I thought
she was going to fall over and like from a
heart attack for real. Yeah, honestly, But you startled her,
I startled whoo out of her. Was okay, So you know,
I actually got a little bit of sts a little
a little bit.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
Cried a little bit. My heart stopped for a second.
I couldn't catch my breath. It was literally a terrifying moment.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
But I'm so sorry. I'm so I apologized, Aileen.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I just wanted to tell you that I always say
thank you at the end of the show, and and
then I forget that. You know, you've got this goofy
shift change in the middle of this show, this shift
and so anyway, I just wanted to say thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You're just Dynamite Night, and you're dynamite. I wasn't fishing
for a compliment, but I mean, I'm not gonna throw
it back likewise. Right, Yeah, now you're Dynamite Night, and
I'm so glad that you're here.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And but I want to make sure I got that
out because you always leave before I get to say
nice things about you. And then Eileen comes, then Brigitta
comes in, right, and Brigita is always like, oh, I'll
take her compliments.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So basically she gets a two for one coupone. Yeah,
all right, thank you. That's you can go back to.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
What I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Okay, all right, very good from the talkbacks.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
Hey, Chris is Zach, this is just another distraction, just
like the Russian hoax, just everything that can distract people
who have the ear of the Democratic Party. They just
want to hear the negative and use that to talk
about so that it takes away from all the good
things that are happening.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you. I do think
that distraction is part of the playbook in Washington. I
can't disagree with you on that. However, if we assume
that everything about Epstein is part of the Democratic playbook,
we would have to assume that the Republicans, including Thomas
Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green, who are about as maga
(16:10):
as it gets, are somehow now being wooed by the
Democratic Party in pushing for the release of the Epstein files.
But then we would also have to assume that Donald
Trump was committing the same sin when he was candidate
Trump who said, we need to see what's in the
Epstein files.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
What's Biden protecting?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And Pam Bondi and Cash Bettel and Dan Bongino were
saying that the Biden administration was covering for somebody? So
is there nothing in the Epstein files and Biden was
covering for somebody? Or and Biden wasn't covering for somebody,
which would then make your theory correct about right now.
(16:50):
But then you'd also have to admit that's what the
game plan was for the Republicans fact a year ago,
right or are they both covering for someone by trying
to stop the release of anything that's in those files?
See what I mean just yeah, I think distraction is
is definitely a pleasant side effect of whichever party is
(17:12):
not in control again, Republicans in twenty up to twenty
four and then Democrats now. But uh nah, nah, there's
too much smoke here. I'm not saying anybody that we
know is in those files, but I do think probably
some rich and powerfuls. I mean, there's a reason that
we don't have Prince Andrew any longer, and it's not
(17:33):
because there was nothing there.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Nah, there's too much smoke there. There's something going on.
I'm not saying Trump is in there. I'm just saying
there's somebody in there that both sides seem to want
to protect, or there are enough people on both sides
that they both want to protect and it's mutually assured
destruction if they release it. Meanwhile, the government did reopen
this last week. I can't believe it's not even been
(17:59):
a week since the government's been reopened. This has been
the longest six weeks ever. Oh my gosh, can we
just get to Christmas, Just get to the holidays and
stop thinking about Oh no, we can't, because the government's
gonna shut down again at the end of January.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, the considering resolution only takes us through the end
of January, and then we could do ll this crap again.
But maybe this time around, TSA won't call in sick
because the president's looking to give them Bennyes.
Speaker 14 (18:33):
TSA workers who stayed on the job during the government
shutdown will be rewarded with a ten thousand dollars bonus.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Ho ho ho, Santa Trump has come to town. Back
to Fox eleven.
Speaker 14 (18:46):
The reward was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noman
yesterday in Houston. No no, no, no bom.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Christing, no mishanding out checks. No no, there's something there.
I'm not going to keep giving it to you for free,
though maybe when my album comes out.
Speaker 14 (19:15):
The secretary lauded the TSA workers for being patriots during
the shutdown and for keeping airports and transportation systems safe
and secure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, some of those TSA agents are Democrats, right,
so it's a safe to say that Donald Trump is
giving ten thousand dollars to Democrats across the country. That's
how that's how it's going to be spun. That's how
you say, Look, the party's betraying somebody.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
That's how you do it.
Speaker 15 (19:41):
You're going to not only continue their paychecks like they
should have received all along, but also they're going to
get a bonus check for stepping up, taking on extra shifts,
for showing up each and every day, for serving the
American people and taking seriously the mission that the Department
of Homeland Security takes seriously and that they take seriously.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I have an idea, and I'm being quite genuine about this.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Instead of giving these people bonuses of ten thousand dollars,
because evidently you suddenly have the money, what if and
there's fifty thousand of them here, so you do the math.
That's more math than I can math. But what if
instead of giving them all ten thousand dollars bonuses, you
took that money that five hundred million dollars fifty million. Again,
(20:29):
math is not my strong seed, and you put that
in a quit screwing the TSA every time the government
shuts down fund so the next time we go through this,
they don't have to go through this. You're just giving
them random bonuses, and they weren't guaranteed, They weren't promises,
was not on anybody's radar. How about if you just
take all of that money, zip it, and then put
(20:51):
it into a fund that pays them the next time
you want to jack with their livelihoods. What if we
just did that, because the next time is coming up
February first, that's what it's gonna happen again. How about
you really take care of them? And I know you're
gonna say, well, that's what they should be doing. We're
gonna give them ten thousand dollars to put into their
own savings account. What if you didn't have to do
(21:12):
all that nonsense?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
What if we just.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Kept the government open? Oh my mind is blown, doctor
fox Loven.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
It is unclear, though, how many TSA agents will get
this bonus. In a news release, Homeland Security says the
bonus money will come from leftover funds from this fiscal year.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well wait a minute, how do we have leftover funds
from this fiscal year? If we didn't have money to
fund snap benefits from this fiscal year? Oh, kaylee did?
Thank you, Kayla five hundred million? She added all these
zeros on there. Thank you, Kaylea. You're much better mathing
(21:56):
than I am.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
That's so true.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, that's very good. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I do, all right, we are just fifteen twenty minutes
away here from there's no business.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Like show business.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Very good, and in the meantime, somebody is definitely trying
to be the Grinch to your Christmas.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Why you need to come up with a code word?
I have suggestions.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Next, Chris Maryland, you're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Talk back tonight. What do you think is in the
Epstein files? If you're on the app, feel free to
hit that talk back button. Let us know what do
you think is in there? Biden didn't release them, so
if there's something in there on Trump when they've used
that to hang Trump, Trump won't release them. There's something
in there on the Clintons or any of his other
political enemies Pelosi or Schumer or anybody else. Don't you
(22:51):
think he'd release them? So why aren't we seeing more
of the files? Is there just nothing in there? And
everything we've heard all along is just made up? And
Prince Andrew lost his title for nothing?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
What do you think is in there?
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Good evening, All politics is consuming more time during the
day than he used to, and he continues to increase
so with only two options left fighting for the battle
doesn't it make sense that down the line, one of
them is going to win and we will no longer
(23:29):
be a democracy. Thank you, and happy New Year.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Thank you. Yes it does. In fact, historically speaking, that
is exactly what is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
In history would teach us that that's what happens, and
then we become a single party state, will become some
sort of a third authoritarian state, a dictatorship, and then
there will be a revolution and a rebellion, and then
we'll split into a number of different factions that will
then fight over who gets to be in charge. That
is how history has shown this playing out time and
(24:02):
time again. But ultimately, I do think that when somebody
tries to overturn things, we're going to come back to
the Constitution and we're going to say that was a
pretty good thing, and let's see if we can just
kind of rejigger that a little bit to make it
work better. I mean, so much of it is based
on the Magna carta, which you know, throughout history has
(24:25):
been pretty solid, but it's had a few times that
it hasn't worked out so swell. It's been usurped by
authoritarian power and populism. But then ultimately comes back to
being in vogue.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Also, I feel like we're talking too much about smart stuff,
and I think it's fair to say I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah, how about this, The robots are gonna mug you.
Yeah that's better. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
From AI tech News twenty four to seven, ironically sounding
like AI voiced it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the crime landscape, enabling everything
from deepbate based scams and AI engineered ransomware to massive
identity theft at a speed and scale never seen before.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I'm genuinely considering going on fiver or something and just
offering voiceovers for thirty second, one minute clips because I'm
so tired of hearing the AI.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Like I will for just five bucks. Just give me
five bucks and I'll voice your stuff for you. So
it sounds like an actual human reading it.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, AI is doing it for free. I think that's
why they're not using I know.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
But I got it to be honest.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I search for some of these random topics and that
the top videos that hit are AI generated with one
to zero views one to zero, like yeah, or zero
to one.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, it depends on why aren't you from Australia.
Speaker 12 (25:51):
So although they're saving money, is not as effective as
what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah, understand, it's garbage. Nobody wants to hear that, right,
nobody does.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
From seeing you sound like A you sound like A
You don't sound cutting edge, you sound cheap. Honestly, you
sound like the team version of Content Creators, which reminds
me I got a lot.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Of team move packages coming. Oh, I mean team crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Police training is alarmingly behind despite the AI crime surge,
most police academies remain unprepared. Law enforcement lacks the training,
tools and policies needed to anticipate or counter the newest
AI driven cyber attacks, leaving local cops far outpaced.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
They're doing a bunch of deep fakes. That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
The other thing, too, is that you know that they're
using AI to advance coding right for developing software faster
and faster and faster, and then of course obviously advancing
AI faster and faster, using AI to build more AI.
What is interesting though, is that the criminals of course
are using it, which is crappy, and the criminals then
(26:57):
are using the hackers are using it to hack into
state run servers and mega corporations and create hostage scenarios and.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
At some point, don't you think that we are getting
closer and closer to AI being used by bad actors.
Perhaps another state could be a Jina. Great people in
China just negotiated to deal with them great tariffs. Is
it possible that Jina hacks our like transit, or hacks
(27:33):
are our power grids? I mean, imagine what that would
do to us? Well, were the fifth Are we still
the fourth largest economy or somebody passed us? Right, and
somebody passed us We're the fifth largest economy now California alone.
Wouldn't it make sense that somebody would hack our infrastructure
in some way, shape or form and hold it hostage
for a payout or for power. I mean, we are
(27:55):
a prime target for this stuff. The other thing, too,
is the fraud people using voices of loved ones and
and then you get a phone call that says, oh
my gosh, I've been kidnapped. You have to send me money,
which is why they say you need to come up
with a password or like a code word or a
safe word. What are some good safe words?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Pineapples?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's for swingers.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Oh, I thought it was just like a safe word.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
I will add, I will ask copilot.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
That's that's your word, co pilot.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, no, I'm asking copilot. Actually, it's funny. One of
the first examples they gave was pineapple see unicorn.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well this is not They think this is for like
sex because they're like, stop emergency enough.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Well when you started with pineapples, we know it was something.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Remembered. There was a movie back in the early nineties.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Rayleiota was a cop or a security guy, and he
helped set the password for Kurt Russell's house I think,
and the and the and Madeline Stowe was in it too,
and the password for the.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Security company was pyramid. That one just sticks in my
head for some reason. Pyramid.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
You don't say that often. I'm sure. Let's're talking about
a scheme.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, and even still, you wouldn't be like, oh my god,
I've been kidnapped by a pyramid.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
True.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, I mean unless you're in Vegas and they're like,
where are you, Like, we're headed toward the pyramid. Well
that's the luxor so I guess if you're in Vegas,
don't use pyramid, but you could use it anywhere else?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
M what else could you come up with? Oh that's good,
all that's great. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
What about uh sassa France? What's the sasparilla? You got
me think a sasparilla. No one uses sasparilla, not in
the last one hundred and fifty years. You could use sasparilla.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
It might be hard to
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The question is what do you think is in the
Epstein files? If you're on the iHeartRadio app, just hit
that talkback button. Let us know what do you think
is in the Epstein files. Dive into that here. In
just a few moments, I think there was a talkback
regarding the the colt the Proposition fifty. The DOJ is
suing California over Prop fifty.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
What they're doing is, oh, lads, tho stupid politicians hearing
California spend the money to do this especial election for
one proposition fifty. Then after we spend money we don't have.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
As soon as spread.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know, sometimes when I drink, I think it's a
good idea to call radio stations too, And then I
always try to present myself as not slurring. But if
I listened back to it later, it was always on
and see, just like that.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
That's me. I feel like I could use a shot
with really loosen things up for me tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Are you sure you did not have one?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That's no, I need one. I need a little tongue lube.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I never want to hear you say that, all right,
I need it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I need something to loosen things up. I keep tripping
over my own.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's what I need.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I do actually agree with him on one thing, and
that is that we paid for an election to respond
to Texas changing their maps, and now that the election
is over, we're paying the DOJ to sue us, and
we're paying to defend ourselves from the DOJ. So this
feels like a good use of stage funds. Thank god
we're paying taxes.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And why is it?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Because the politicians are trying to take this concept of
majority rule away by jerrymandering maps so that they get
to stay in power. Whether it's Texas that does this,
or whether it's California, or whether it's any of the
other states that try to jerrymander. It's all to try
to draw maps that are the most beneficial for their parties.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Period. That's it. You know what I think we should do? Mm?
I mean not.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I was just thinking what we should do is we
should take everybody is registered to vote in the state
and just put put it in a big hopper, right,
and then you just start drawing names at random. First
eight hundred thousand going to District one, eight one thousand
going District two. Next eight hundred thousand going to District three.
But the problem is we don't live next to each other,
and we have to represent, you know, what's near us.
Have you seen what some of these maps are though, God,
(02:49):
they're so insane. There's uh, my wife is in Michigan.
She was talking to She goes, which district are we unit?
I said, it keeps changing, we keep getting jerrymandered. And
it's like one district is the entire east side of
the state except Detroit, except for one little street that
draws the district all the way down into it.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You know, like, what is that about?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Lived in Kansas and there was They called it the
Big One because it basically covered everything except Wichita and
Kansas City. But even then we catch just little outskirts
of those towns to make sure you got everybody in there.
It's just ridiculous. Of course, you see it here, you're
gonna see it even worse here. You're gonna see the
jerry mannering here is, which is gonna go terrible. All right, here,
(03:36):
move me on to this. I told you i'd talk
about Epstein, not because I'm really excited to talk about Epstein,
but because it's not going away, and it's not going away.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Here's what is really interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's not going away because MAGA doesn't want it to
go away. And so the President has said it's a
democratic hoax, and yet it's his supporters that are saying, cool,
just show us what's in there.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Then overnight President Trump defending his extraordinary order to his
Attorney General and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement
and relationship with several prominent Democrats.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh see, if it were just investigate Epstein and his
involvement with several prominent politicians, I'd go yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
But instead he goes, I just want you to take
and I.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Wanted to find anyone on this other that is, and
if they're a Republican, we're not gonna investigate them, because
why would you do that.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
We've gotten to the point where the politicians don't feel
like they need to represent everyone in their country or
their district or their state because we basically assume that
they're not representing us if we didn't vote for him,
and so we sort of accept that we're going to
get craped on if our team loses, and it drives
(05:04):
tribalism even further.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Including former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers,
and quote many other people in institutions.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Now, I find it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
A bit hard to believe that Bill Clinton would have
been involved sexually with someone that isn't his wife.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Can I those dots for me? How is that even possible? Look? Look,
here's this is Clinton years ago. They were trying to
pin things on him. But I want to say one
thing to the American people.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I want you to listen to me.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I'm going to say this again. Okay, what I think
I did not? Yeah, have yes, sexual exaculations for that woman, right,
miss Lewinsky.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I never told anybody to lie, not a single.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Time, never, never, And these allegations are false. That's right,
And I need to go back to work for the
American people.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
See perfect Presidents don't lie about having extra marital affairs.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
What more evidence do you need? You need? No more
evidence ever.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And if anybody is doing something wrong, it's it's not
anyone who ever occupied the oral office Oval office.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I am considered the chief law enforcements, an agent in
the country, and.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm allowed to do.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly responding on Friday, Will Do,
saying the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity.
This comes even though Bondi herself had closed the Epstein
case earlier this year, declaring we did not uncover evidence
that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And again, politicians don't lie to the American people, especially
when there's cameras on.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Tom Democrats calling Trump panicked and desperate.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Well, Donald Trump investigated as part of this or is
there going to be one set of rules for Donald
Trump's friends and supporters another set for his critics.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Former President Clinton did travel on Epstein's play multiple times
after his presidency, but Clinton says he was unaware of
Epstein's crimes had never visited Epstein's private island. He has
not been accused of wrongdoing. A spokesperson for the Clinton
Foundation says, exactly.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
I did not go to Epstein Island and diddle them kids.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I never did anything like that, and I also have
no idea where I left my cigar.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
These emails proved Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing.
The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring, shutdowns,
and who knows what else.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't think there's too many Democrats that wouldn't sacrifice
the legacy of Bill Clinton in order to take down Trump.
I think that, I think most Democrats that's a fair trade.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Even some Republicans pushing back on Trump's demand, I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Would ask him not to do that, because all it
does is taint our legal system.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
The song comes two days after the House Oversight Committee
released thousands of documents from Extine's The State, many of
them mentioned Trump, No No in a twenty seventeen emails.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, I'm bored with all this. You get the point.
It's not going anywhere. Meanwhile, you've got MAGA that is confused.
There is a political calculus going on right now. You're
gonna hear what that is in just a few moments.
And if you if you were asked, if a politician
came to you and said, I will give you money
(08:44):
if you just forget all the bad stuff about me,
how much would it take?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Ooh, it's a moral dilemma. That's next. I'm Chris Merril.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Chris Merril KFI ams more stimulating talk on demand anytime
the iHeartRadio app. When you're on that app, go ahead
and hit that to talk back button and let us
know what you think is in the Epstein files. What's
in there? Why are we fighting so hard to hide
(09:18):
what's in there? And then remember we were told by Cash,
Mittel and Pambondi everything was in there, and the files
are there, and then there's a list and everything else.
And then they got into office and they went, well,
you know what, there's nothing here. And now we're a
few months later and they go, oh, but we are
going to investigate all that nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
There is there? Nothing?
Speaker 9 (09:37):
There?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Is there? Something there? Which is it?
Speaker 10 (09:42):
You know, there's really no real mystery surrounding why Trump
has decided to suddenly have an interest in investigating these files. Okay,
and we all know where that's going to go anyway,
regardless of whether it's directed to Democrats or Republicans.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But just side note, why is his voice so much
better than mine?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I'm so jealous, I.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Was thinking it. I'm glad you said it.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, no, it's true.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, he has so much.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Right once he's forced to release the files since all
the votes have been done. He's going to say, sorry,
I can't. They're under criminal investigation. No, mark my word.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, uh yeah, the hmmm yeah, I mean that is
a good point. The thing is, though, is that the
way that this is being done is legally weird. Where
the representatives are voting to release the files, that bill
would then go to the Senate. The Senate would then
have to have sixty votes to release the files. Coincidentally
(10:50):
or maybe ironically, you never tell the difference between the two.
They have to have sixty votes in order to overcome
a filibuster, the same filibuster that Trump.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Says he wants to eliminate.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But even if the Senate has the votes, it would
then go to Trump's desk and he would have to
sign off on the bill, and if he vetos it,
then it would take the what is it, two thirds
majority to override the veto. So is that going to happen?
Probably not. What is interesting right now is to watch
the Republicans try to figure out if they are going
(11:22):
to be on team Trump or team Maga, because Maggo
doesn't want to let this go. Maga says no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
there's something here. Jonathan Carl was talking about that with
ABC News.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
The first thing you look for is how many Republicans
actually vote in favor of this.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Look.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
The President tried, as you heard Selena Recount, he tried
mightily to prevent a vote on this from happening, to
the point of bringing one member of Congress, one Ally Bobert,
Congressman Bobert, to the situation room to meet with the
Attorney General and the FBI director. He try mightily to
(12:01):
keep this from happening. The vote, it now looks like,
will be happening. And what I'm looking for is just
how many Republicans crossover and vote for it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I think the number could be quite large.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
It could be forty to fifty, maybe even more than that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, So are they concerned with re election and they
want Trump's endorsement because, as we found out from Marjorie
Taylor Green, he will gank that endorsement in a hurry.
Or are they concerned with the voters and the voters
are not going to be happy unless those files are released.
It's kind of a it's a Maga catch twenty two
happening right now. Like which maga do they want to be?
(12:35):
Do they want to be the ones that get to
the bottom of child predators in Epstein or do they
want to be the maga that supports President Trump and
whatever he says goes. That's that's the catch twenty two
right now. How much would it cost if I wanted
to buy your vote?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Don't worries. Totally legal, totally legal, and there's no there's
no obligation. You don't have to vote for me, but.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sure would be a shame if anything bad happened to
you or your family if you didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chris Merril, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Hit that talkback button and answer the question what do
you think is in the Epstein files?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What do you think is in there?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let us know and if it's good, might even play
it for you. It's Chris Merrill. I AM six forty
more stimulating talk I Lincoln Zales. I have an apology
for you, and that is that I tend to say
thank you at the end of the show, and then
I always get to the end of the show and
I realize I forgot to say thank you to you.
So I wanted to make sure you did it before
you took off because you guys have that weird shift
(13:46):
change right in the middle of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So anyway, thank you, appreciate it. No, she's scrambling. That's
all right. Now you can go potty. You go pop Pa.
It's okay, Eileen, you go. No, No, I.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Just back. I'm trying to go get some tea.
Speaker 12 (14:10):
Eileen gave me a heart attack yesterday, Chris, So if
you don't thank her every now and again, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is what happens when they don't have Eileen studio
looking into my studio.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I honestly, I thought I killed Kaylee yesterday. I thought
she was going to fall over and like from a
heart attack for real. Yeah, honestly, But you startled her,
I startled whoo out of her. Was okay, So you know,
I actually got a little bit of sts a little
a little bit.
Speaker 12 (14:36):
Cried a little bit. My heart stopped for a second.
I couldn't catch my breath. It was literally a terrifying moment.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
But I'm so sorry. I'm so I apologized, Aileen.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I just wanted to tell you that I always say
thank you at the end of the show, and and
then I forget that. You know, you've got this goofy
shift change in the middle of this show, this shift
and so anyway, I just wanted to say thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
You're just Dynamite Night, and you're dynamite. I wasn't fishing
for a compliment, but I mean, I'm not gonna throw
it back likewise. Right, Yeah, now you're Dynamite Night, and
I'm so glad that you're here.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And but I want to make sure I got that
out because you always leave before I get to say
nice things about you. And then Eileen comes, then Brigitta
comes in, right, and Brigita is always like, oh, I'll
take her compliments.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
So basically she gets a two for one coupone. Yeah,
all right, thank you. That's you can go back to.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
What I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Okay, all right, very good from the talkbacks.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
Hey, Chris is Zach, this is just another distraction, just
like the Russian hoax, just everything that can distract people
who have the ear of the Democratic Party. They just
want to hear the negative and use that to talk
about so that it takes away from all the good
things that are happening.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you. I do think
that distraction is part of the playbook in Washington. I
can't disagree with you on that. However, if we assume
that everything about Epstein is part of the Democratic playbook,
we would have to assume that the Republicans, including Thomas
Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green, who are about as maga
(16:10):
as it gets, are somehow now being wooed by the
Democratic Party in pushing for the release of the Epstein files.
But then we would also have to assume that Donald
Trump was committing the same sin when he was candidate
Trump who said, we need to see what's in the
Epstein files.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
What's Biden protecting?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And Pam Bondi and Cash Bettel and Dan Bongino were
saying that the Biden administration was covering for somebody? So
is there nothing in the Epstein files and Biden was
covering for somebody? Or and Biden wasn't covering for somebody,
which would then make your theory correct about right now.
(16:50):
But then you'd also have to admit that's what the
game plan was for the Republicans fact a year ago,
right or are they both covering for someone by trying
to stop the release of anything that's in those files?
See what I mean just yeah, I think distraction is
is definitely a pleasant side effect of whichever party is
(17:12):
not in control again, Republicans in twenty up to twenty
four and then Democrats now. But uh nah, nah, there's
too much smoke here. I'm not saying anybody that we
know is in those files, but I do think probably
some rich and powerfuls. I mean, there's a reason that
we don't have Prince Andrew any longer, and it's not
(17:33):
because there was nothing there.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Nah, there's too much smoke there. There's something going on.
I'm not saying Trump is in there. I'm just saying
there's somebody in there that both sides seem to want
to protect, or there are enough people on both sides
that they both want to protect and it's mutually assured
destruction if they release it. Meanwhile, the government did reopen
this last week. I can't believe it's not even been
(17:59):
a week since the government's been reopened. This has been
the longest six weeks ever. Oh my gosh, can we
just get to Christmas, Just get to the holidays and
stop thinking about Oh no, we can't, because the government's
gonna shut down again at the end of January.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, the considering resolution only takes us through the end
of January, and then we could do ll this crap again.
But maybe this time around, TSA won't call in sick
because the president's looking to give them Bennyes.
Speaker 14 (18:33):
TSA workers who stayed on the job during the government
shutdown will be rewarded with a ten thousand dollars bonus.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Ho ho ho, Santa Trump has come to town. Back
to Fox eleven.
Speaker 14 (18:46):
The reward was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noman
yesterday in Houston. No no, no, no bom.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Christing, no mishanding out checks. No no, there's something there.
I'm not going to keep giving it to you for free,
though maybe when my album comes out.
Speaker 14 (19:15):
The secretary lauded the TSA workers for being patriots during
the shutdown and for keeping airports and transportation systems safe
and secure.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, some of those TSA agents are Democrats, right,
so it's a safe to say that Donald Trump is
giving ten thousand dollars to Democrats across the country. That's
how that's how it's going to be spun. That's how
you say, Look, the party's betraying somebody.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
That's how you do it.
Speaker 15 (19:41):
You're going to not only continue their paychecks like they
should have received all along, but also they're going to
get a bonus check for stepping up, taking on extra shifts,
for showing up each and every day, for serving the
American people and taking seriously the mission that the Department
of Homeland Security takes seriously and that they take seriously.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I have an idea, and I'm being quite genuine about this.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Instead of giving these people bonuses of ten thousand dollars,
because evidently you suddenly have the money, what if and
there's fifty thousand of them here, so you do the math.
That's more math than I can math. But what if
instead of giving them all ten thousand dollars bonuses, you
took that money that five hundred million dollars fifty million. Again,
(20:29):
math is not my strong seed, and you put that
in a quit screwing the TSA every time the government
shuts down fund so the next time we go through this,
they don't have to go through this. You're just giving
them random bonuses, and they weren't guaranteed, They weren't promises,
was not on anybody's radar. How about if you just
take all of that money, zip it, and then put
(20:51):
it into a fund that pays them the next time
you want to jack with their livelihoods. What if we
just did that, because the next time is coming up
February first, that's what it's gonna happen again. How about
you really take care of them? And I know you're
gonna say, well, that's what they should be doing. We're
gonna give them ten thousand dollars to put into their
own savings account. What if you didn't have to do
(21:12):
all that nonsense?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
What if we just.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Kept the government open? Oh my mind is blown, doctor
fox Loven.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
It is unclear, though, how many TSA agents will get
this bonus. In a news release, Homeland Security says the
bonus money will come from leftover funds from this fiscal year.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well wait a minute, how do we have leftover funds
from this fiscal year? If we didn't have money to
fund snap benefits from this fiscal year? Oh, kaylee did?
Thank you, Kayla five hundred million? She added all these
zeros on there. Thank you, Kaylea. You're much better mathing
(21:56):
than I am.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
That's so true.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah, that's very good. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I do, all right, we are just fifteen twenty minutes
away here from there's no business.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Like show business.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Very good, and in the meantime, somebody is definitely trying
to be the Grinch to your Christmas.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Why you need to come up with a code word?
I have suggestions.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Next, Chris Maryland, you're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Talk back tonight. What do you think is in the
Epstein files? If you're on the app, feel free to
hit that talk back button. Let us know what do
you think is in there? Biden didn't release them, so
if there's something in there on Trump when they've used
that to hang Trump, Trump won't release them. There's something
in there on the Clintons or any of his other
political enemies Pelosi or Schumer or anybody else. Don't you
(22:51):
think he'd release them? So why aren't we seeing more
of the files? Is there just nothing in there? And
everything we've heard all along is just made up? And
Prince Andrew lost his title for nothing?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
What do you think is in there?
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Good evening, All politics is consuming more time during the
day than he used to, and he continues to increase
so with only two options left fighting for the battle
doesn't it make sense that down the line, one of
them is going to win and we will no longer
(23:29):
be a democracy. Thank you, and happy New Year.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Thank you. Yes it does. In fact, historically speaking, that
is exactly what is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
In history would teach us that that's what happens, and
then we become a single party state, will become some
sort of a third authoritarian state, a dictatorship, and then
there will be a revolution and a rebellion, and then
we'll split into a number of different factions that will
then fight over who gets to be in charge. That
is how history has shown this playing out time and
(24:02):
time again. But ultimately, I do think that when somebody
tries to overturn things, we're going to come back to
the Constitution and we're going to say that was a
pretty good thing, and let's see if we can just
kind of rejigger that a little bit to make it
work better. I mean, so much of it is based
on the Magna carta, which you know, throughout history has
(24:25):
been pretty solid, but it's had a few times that
it hasn't worked out so swell. It's been usurped by
authoritarian power and populism. But then ultimately comes back to
being in vogue.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Also, I feel like we're talking too much about smart stuff,
and I think it's fair to say I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Yeah, how about this, The robots are gonna mug you.
Yeah that's better. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
From AI tech News twenty four to seven, ironically sounding
like AI voiced it.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the crime landscape, enabling everything
from deepbate based scams and AI engineered ransomware to massive
identity theft at a speed and scale never seen before.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I'm genuinely considering going on fiver or something and just
offering voiceovers for thirty second, one minute clips because I'm
so tired of hearing the AI.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Like I will for just five bucks. Just give me
five bucks and I'll voice your stuff for you. So
it sounds like an actual human reading it.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well, AI is doing it for free. I think that's
why they're not using I know.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
But I got it to be honest.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I search for some of these random topics and that
the top videos that hit are AI generated with one
to zero views one to zero, like yeah, or zero
to one.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, it depends on why aren't you from Australia.
Speaker 12 (25:51):
So although they're saving money, is not as effective as
what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah, understand, it's garbage. Nobody wants to hear that, right,
nobody does.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
From seeing you sound like A you sound like A
You don't sound cutting edge, you sound cheap. Honestly, you
sound like the team version of Content Creators, which reminds
me I got a lot.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Of team move packages coming. Oh, I mean team crazy.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Police training is alarmingly behind despite the AI crime surge,
most police academies remain unprepared. Law enforcement lacks the training,
tools and policies needed to anticipate or counter the newest
AI driven cyber attacks, leaving local cops far outpaced.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
They're doing a bunch of deep fakes. That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
The other thing, too, is that you know that they're
using AI to advance coding right for developing software faster
and faster and faster, and then of course obviously advancing
AI faster and faster, using AI to build more AI.
What is interesting though, is that the criminals of course
are using it, which is crappy, and the criminals then
(26:57):
are using the hackers are using it to hack into
state run servers and mega corporations and create hostage scenarios and.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
At some point, don't you think that we are getting
closer and closer to AI being used by bad actors.
Perhaps another state could be a Jina. Great people in
China just negotiated to deal with them great tariffs. Is
it possible that Jina hacks our like transit, or hacks
(27:33):
are our power grids? I mean, imagine what that would
do to us? Well, were the fifth Are we still
the fourth largest economy or somebody passed us? Right, and
somebody passed us We're the fifth largest economy now California alone.
Wouldn't it make sense that somebody would hack our infrastructure
in some way, shape or form and hold it hostage
for a payout or for power. I mean, we are
(27:55):
a prime target for this stuff. The other thing, too,
is the fraud people using voices of loved ones and
and then you get a phone call that says, oh
my gosh, I've been kidnapped. You have to send me money,
which is why they say you need to come up
with a password or like a code word or a
safe word. What are some good safe words?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Pineapples?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's for swingers.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Oh, I thought it was just like a safe word.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
I will add, I will ask copilot.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
That's that's your word, co pilot.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, no, I'm asking copilot. Actually, it's funny. One of
the first examples they gave was pineapple see unicorn.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well this is not They think this is for like
sex because they're like, stop emergency enough.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Well when you started with pineapples, we know it was something.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Remembered. There was a movie back in the early nineties.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Rayleiota was a cop or a security guy, and he
helped set the password for Kurt Russell's house I think,
and the and the and Madeline Stowe was in it too,
and the password for the.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Security company was pyramid. That one just sticks in my
head for some reason. Pyramid.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
You don't say that often. I'm sure. Let's're talking about
a scheme.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, and even still, you wouldn't be like, oh my god,
I've been kidnapped by a pyramid.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
True.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, I mean unless you're in Vegas and they're like,
where are you, Like, we're headed toward the pyramid. Well
that's the luxor so I guess if you're in Vegas,
don't use pyramid, but you could use it anywhere else?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
M what else could you come up with? Oh that's good,
all that's great. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
What about uh sassa France? What's the sasparilla? You got
me think a sasparilla. No one uses sasparilla, not in
the last one hundred and fifty years. You could use sasparilla.
Speaker 4 (30:08):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
