Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand listen
any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we're gonna reopen the scandal, because this is a scab
that is just not gonna heal. You heard Mark talking
about the Congressional Democrats releasing the set of emails from
Jeffrey Epstein and his associate gis Lane Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Is that how you pronounced that? Yeah, that's it. That's right.
I'm pretty sure I got it. Is it one of
those foreign names?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, j Yeah, yeah, suggesting that Trump had greater knowledge
of Epstein's trafficking network than what he admitted. There was
a message in twenty eleven that Epstein wrote that Trump
was that dog that hasn't barked.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Is that like like he's not sounding the alarms yet,
or like he isn't he's not showing up anywhere. Well,
I don't know what that means. He also claimed that
a victim spent hours at my house with him.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It was the quote, not my house, his house.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Trump denies any wrongdoing, the White House not immediately responding,
although you did hear some quotes from from Caroline Levitt
saying this is obviously the Democrats who don't like sex
with minors?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
How dare they?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
The moment was putting pressure on the US House Committee
in Oversight and Reform to release more of the Epstein files.
So that is what we're waiting on. Will it come out?
I don't know. There is another. There is another is
we're getting more and more into this, all these files
(01:38):
that are released, we're finding out that indeed, there's more
that Epstein said that just is not really all that kosher.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Like.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
For instance, in twenty eighteen, authorities were closing in on Epstein.
A series of articles in the Miami Herald showed that
mister Trump's labor secretary had signed off on mister Epstein's
two thousand and eight plea deal okay from the New
York Times. The Miami Herald series prompted the Justice Department
to open a wide ranging criminal investigation into Epstein. You
remember all this happening, It transpired during Trump's first term.
(02:10):
The whole which hunt thing happened while.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
He was the Wizard. I don't know. That doesn't make
any sense either. Anyway, he was the president.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It was his Justice Department that opened the investigation because
his labor secretary had signed off on the deal back
when he was a lawyer back in the day. So
in December twenty eighteen, Epstein was texting with what they're
calling an unidentified acquaintance who wrote that they're really just.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Trying to take Trump down.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They're really just trying to take down Trump, excuse me,
and doing whatever they can to do that. It's wild,
Epstein replied, because I'm the one able to take him down,
which you may infer that he's trying to imply that
he has some sort of.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Evidence about it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Epstein and another correspondence about Trump and mar A Lago,
Trump said he asked me to resign never a member ever,
talking about mar A Lago, saying Trump asked me to resign,
never a member ever. Of course he knew about the
girls as he asked gis Lane to stop, he said
that he cut ties. Trump said that he cut ties
(03:21):
with Epstein after Epstein stole Virginia Guffrey from mar A Lago,
where she had worked as a SPA attended others, saying,
now they had a falling out over a real estate deal.
But I should also point this out because one of
the girls that he claims that Trump spent a significant
amount of time with was this Virginia Guphrey who this
(03:43):
is the one who took her own life, I believe
earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right, correct? Right?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I gotta make sure I could jewfro Oh, I'm sorry,
I was saying it wrong. Okay, jew Fry, thank you,
I apologize. So Epstein's email said that jew Frey had
spent hours at my house with him, and yet mister
Trump has never once been mentioned. But miss Jeoffrey said
in twenty sixteen in a deposition that Trump never had
sex with her or even flirted with her. So that's
(04:09):
gonna be key that she said that on the record,
as opposed to Epstein, who can't testify on the record because.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
He was killed himself.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
In the one minute that the cameras that the jail
didn't work, which is a hell.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Of a coincidence. So that happened. So anyway, what happens next?
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It makes for fodder. I don't know that the Democrats
have anything other than smoke. I don't think that they
have evidence of fire. So what can they do with it?
They can make political Hey, good Morning America was talking
about it this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The bombshell release of what House Democrats say are emails
to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, several
referring to President Donald Trump by name. In April tw
only eleven email released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee,
lawmaker say Epstein wrote to his now convicted accomplice Glenn Maxwell,
(05:08):
three years after pleading guilty to sex crimes involving a minor,
telling her, I want you to realize that that dog
that hasn't barked is Trump. Unnamed victims spent hours at
my house with him. He has never once been mentioned,
according to the released emails, Maxwell responds, I have been
thinking about that, but this summer. In a recorded interview
(05:28):
with the Department of Justice, Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General
Todd Blanche, the president's former lawyer, she never witnessed Trump
act inappropriately.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in
any way.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
The President was never inappropriate with anybody who in the
times that I was with him, he was a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's on the record.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Man, in all respects.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's a big deal that it's on the record.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Shortly after that interview, Maxwell was moved to a minimum
security prison camp, prompting criticism she received special treatment Committee
Democrats also releasing this January twenty nineteen email where Epstein
corresponds with author Michael Wolfe, less than six months before
the financier would be charged again, this time with sex
trafficking of minors. Discussing President Trump's repeated claim he kicked
(06:16):
Epstein out of his Palm Beach club, Epstein, writing Trump said,
he asked me to resign.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Never a member ever. I just said that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Of course he knew about the girls, as he asked
Gilen to stop. President Trump has denied any knowledge of
Epstein's alleged crimes.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So how long was wolf gonna sit on these emails?
How's this just coming out?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Oaks?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It's so started by Democrats.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
After Epstein's arrest in twenty nineteen, Trump said he hadn't
spoken with him in fifteen years, and earlier this year,
Trump claimed the reason he banned his one time friend
from Maro Lago in the mid two thousands was because
Epstein stole Trump's club staff, including young women.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
He took people, and because he took me play said,
don't do it anymore. You know, they work for me,
and he took me. Beyond that, he took some others.
And once he did that, that was the m I
didn't like where they steal people.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Buck And no response yet from the White House on
the release of these emails.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Okay, but the White House is responding to more Epstein news,
including for someone that says that there's there's nothing here
is responding to the Epstein news something worthy of heading
to the situation realm. We'll find out why next. Chris
merrill I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
(07:33):
iHeartRadio AP. You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
We have a very important segment coming up here right
after Mark's eight thirty news, and that is there's a
new trend where kids are making fun of you. I'm
going to tell you what it is. It's important, it's
very important stuff. In the meantime, there's a more coming
(07:58):
out about Jeffrey seen. The Democrats released some files. Now
the Republicans say that the Democrats cherry picked things out
of the files that make Trump look bad. Well, I
don't think the Democrats are going to release files that
say and then highlight files that, say.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Jeffrey Epstein placed in order with door dash. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's it's not really newsworthy, right, So they're cherry picking
things where he's talking about Trump. Look, I don't run
in these circles. I'm not a billionaire. I don't deal
with hedge fund managers. And who knows. Maybe if you're
a billionaire hedge fund manager, you just happen to be
(08:39):
running in the same circles as pedophile sex traffickers.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe that happens.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe if you are a prince in Great Britain, you
just accidentally tend to vacation with predatory sex traffickers. Maybe
that's just the thing that happens. Know, those aren't my circles.
But I can tell you my name's not in these emails.
My name's not in there from the talkbacks.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Come on, Chris, she's a known liar. She has a
lot to lose and a lot to gain.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Wait who.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Who? Uh, Jeffrey or oh, Julane Maxwell, Glaine Maxwell, James
Laine Maxwell, Oh, yeah, she's a known liar, has a
lot to lose, a lot to gain. But it was
it was good free the woman who took her own life,
who was one of Epstein's victims, who claimed that Trump
never never had sex with her, never even flirted with her,
(09:36):
and was an absolute gentleman. So it's just there's just
a lot, it's just not adding up. There's a lot
of smoke, but I still don't see any fire. But
there is a lot of smoke. And it doesn't really
help when the president president calls in somebody to his office. Today,
the government is about to reopen the the time breaking
(10:01):
representative who's going to demand that the files on Epstein
be completely released. He's about to be sworn in, and
the President called a representative with no clout into the
situation room.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
From CNN National Affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleini, he is at
the White House for US Jeff.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Good to see you.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Sources telling CNN that top administration officials met today in
the situation room about the House vote. What does that
tell us?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What are we learning? Well, casey look.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said that in the
briefing today, confirming our CNN reporting that Lauren Bobert, of
course a single member of Congress, not a leadership member,
not on any key committees.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She's also incidentally single and would love to go to
the theater.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Had that meeting in the Situation Room with the Attorney
General of the United States, with the Deputy Attorney General,
with the FBI director, and of course Lauren Bobert is
one of the Republicans who has said she would cross
over and sign that discharge, a petition which would allow
the House to go forward and vote on releasing the
Department of Justice Epstein files. Lauren Bobert has just told
(11:15):
our colleagues on Capitol Hill that she has no plans
of changing or her pledge to vote for that. But
that extraordinary meeting here at the White House just underscores
the stakes of all of this. The White House sought
to explain the meeting in the Situation Room earlier today
like this, Okay, it.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Is not a coincidence that the Democrats leaked these emails
to the fake news this morning ahead of Republicans.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Wait, you're using there's.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
A lot of they leaked the emails to the fake news. Okay,
where are things not true?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Reopening the government?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Where's the falsenessire?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
White House officials been meeting with Representative Bobert in an
effort to try and get her to not sign this
pitchure calling for the release of the box.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration
are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Doesn't that show our level of transparency? Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Uh No, it shows that you're targeting one Republican who's
been loyal to President Trump for a very long time,
who's now going to vote against him on something that
is potentially damning politically maybe personally. And you called her
specifically into the situation room, of all places.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It wasn't like, hey, won't you come out and have
a cup of tea?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And the new East Wing Sorry, we don't have any
swing and the new ballt No, that's not built either.
And then in rosegark nout we bulldozed that, why don't
you come hang out on the patio. No, they went
into the situation room. It was a little weird, a
little weird. Now I'm not there, I don't Maybe there's
(12:56):
more to the story, But if there is, Carolyn Love,
it isn't telling us she's leaning on the same broken
record of fake news.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Democrats leaked it.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
They leaked the emails, and now Lauren Lauren Bobert is
in the situation room, and you go, why'd you call
Lauren Bobert over? That's don't make it make a lot
of sense. You're I have her come over and what
spot of tea? No, it's about Epstein, So what's it about?
(13:29):
It just makes me suspicious again.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
More smoke.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I don't see the fire. A lot of smoke. No
embers got to see the embers.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
A lot of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Circumstantial evidence, but a lot of it is very politically
charged as well.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
When does the smoking gun come out? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I don't have any idea, no clue, no clue. But
I don't want to talk any more about politics because
basically it bores me so much. Palace intrigue. It's just
a lot of lobbing, a bunch of name calling back
and forth. What good does that do anybody? It's just dysfunction.
We're better than that, or maybe we're not. When you
(14:12):
find out what the latest internet trend is, where the
kids you're trying to help, you're just a kind soul
and all they're doing is bullying you and you don't
even know it until it's too late. And find out
what this new trend is next Chris Merril KFI AM
six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio. You're listening
to KFI AM six forty on demand. You guys are
(14:34):
gonna have to help me through this because I don't
really understand what this is.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But they're coming for you. Oh boy, are they coming
for you.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
The kids these days, there's a new TikTok trend and
it's called They're very sneaky with us. It's called flip
the camera, and I don't understand it at all, So
hopefully you guys know what the hell this is. It
is more from silly reveal clips into something more.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Sinister.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Videos are emerging where the final reveal humiliates or singles
out someone else, sparking concerns that it's being used for bullying.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It's viral, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Visual, and it's happening all over the country, including two
teenagers right here in southern California.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
So hm okay.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So the user offers a tip or a statement and
then accidentally flip flips the camera to show a person, pet,
or object, often unexpected.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Teens might ask strangers to record their dance and then
secretly flip the camera to film the stranger.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't understand guys, how does this work? Video show
unsuspecting people who are just trying to be kind or helpful.
Commenters then mock the stranger's appearance or behavior. Users are
calling the trend bullying, and they are reporting the posts.
Some viewers posted tearful reactions, saying the trend feels cruel
and means spirited. CDC says that it's cyber bullying, buloying
(16:08):
reports of the highest one middle and high schoolers, the
same group that are driving the trend.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I don't understand it, guys. Do you know?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How do you? How do you hand the phone off
and then the other person not know? I don't get it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
I've never once done anything you're talking about. I'm not
on TikTok. It's like talking to Tony about making his
own phone from coconuts.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It must be that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Okay, So you're using the rear facing camera. Rear facing
camera means it's pointed.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
At you, right, the one that makes you look like
a drowning victim, The horrible one.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The one that you see yoursel phone. Yeah that's the one. Yeah,
those are terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So it must be that they are recording using that,
and then they're asking a stranger to hold the phone
while they dance, rather than holding the phone like they're
recording something else, they're supposed to be just kind of
holding it almost like a selfie stick, I guess, like
a human selfie stick. And then they touch it, they
(17:13):
flip it around so that the cameras on the on
the front, which are now facing the stranger, are just
recording close ups of the strangers and basically up their nose.
I guess so, a TikTok user says, nine times out
of ten, the person looks like the sweetest, kindest, most
innocent human being. You can tell they were just trying
to be nice, probably quiet, probably introverted. Maybe not even
(17:35):
part of that friend group for real, because you if
you say for real.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Then it's it's it's legit, no cap that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The user added that once the videos are shared online,
commenters make fun of the strangers, including calling them names,
all without them knowing that they've been posted or consenting
to it. Someone else says, y'all, can we stop saying
y'all please?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I know y'all is spreading. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Y'all are turning kindness into content, and that's sad. That
person agreed to hold the camera to be kind, not
to get bullied online. Oh look, teenagers aren't respecting other
people as being human beings because they all think they're
main characters.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's never happened in the history of human kind. This
is why you should never be nice to teenagers. Never
because chances are that teenager is mocking you. And I
know what you're thinking. Oh what if I can set
an example and that teenager can learn from my example,
and maybe they'll have to be a better person because
I was good to them. I was kind to them,
I showed them kindness. Now they're gonna be kind people.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They're teenagers. They're horrible. They're just horrible human beings from
the very beginning. They're horrible and you should never trust
them ever. I know, I was a teenager and I
was horrible. One years A shared a video of herself
cries from You said a day of her crying, with
the caption me after seeing the flipping camera trend and
realizing how cruel you little kids are.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, so now we're just crying on behalf of somebody
that doesn't even know.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
They were bullied online. If you are bullied online but
don't know it, are you bullied? Genuine question, if a
tree falls in the woods, if someone is mocking me.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
When you when you work in this business, you get
to feedback from people anytime that you anything performed. If
somebody's going to tell you how terrible you are, and
you have two choices. You can either let it bring
you down or you can use it to try to
get you to try to get better, and basically a
giant f you to them. Now what I do is
(19:41):
I cry at night. I try to get better, but
mostly I just cry a lot on my own.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
However, if you're listening to this show and you don't
like something I say, and then you're say in a
car with somebody else, and you go, boy, that guy's
an idiot, what a mora?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And I hope he gets fired.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
This guy is miserable, And you say a bunch of
stuff that if you were to say it to my face,
would send me right again into the corner crying. But
I don't know it. Am I being bullied? I genuinely
do not know the answer to this question. If the
victim doesn't know that they're a victim, are they a victim?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do they have standing? I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
However, if you do this this trend where you flip
the camera around and then you're pointing get up somebody's
nose and you're you're mocking them and they find out
about it, then I absolutely say that it's bullying one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm not so sure about it. I got nothing else
say on that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And since you guys are all old fuddy duddies that
can't keep up with the kids these days, I got
nothing else.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Anybody else, anything else to add sounds mean spirited.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Thank you, Mark, that was very inxcighting. You're welcome. Nothing else.
All right, let's call this a segment. Then Tony will
go to call a segment. All right, very good. Your
screen just went black during Monday night football and you
thought it was the internet, I think up again.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Nope, it's not.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
It's seven figures a week disappearing while two entertainment giants
argue like children over the remote, what they're up to
and how close they are to not get it off. Next,
Chris merrilf I AM six forty. We live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio. You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
(21:29):
Listen anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app. Talk to
you about which Hollywood celebrities are making others very angry
because they just sold out to Mark's favorite new technology AI.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So that's that's coming. Is Disney back on YouTube yet?
Apparently not? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I keep waiting for them to be breaking news, but
it's just not. Haven't happened yet. I guess Disney's losing
a ton of money thirty million a week as Disney
and YouTube still have not come to a deal for
YouTube to carry Disney's.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Streaming stuff, and it keeps getting uglier and uglier.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, Now, my understanding is that the NFL says, you
guys need to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
We are in Is this right? Day thirteen? It's funny
speaking of AI, Matthew, Am I right?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You were using AI to create summaries and bullet points
to these stories, because that's what I do. I looked
on the notes and I was like, Oh, that looks
incredibly well organized for a producer who's doing this very quickly.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
But I think he's doing the same thing I do. Really,
he's us to get to skim the article. You're a
trader to humanity.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm telling you I'm getting more stuff done. I'm telling
you I didn't replace Matthew. In fact, what we did
is we actually elaborated on the stories even further, and
then we were flexible when we had breaking news tonight.
So disappointing. Nobody lost a gig. Nobody did that. I'm
not selling out to anything. I'm not. We're just improving
(23:06):
everything we can using the tools at our disposal. Meanwhile,
Morgan Stanley says thirty million dollars in lost revenue per
week for Disney. YouTube is now offering twenty dollars a
deal on or twenty dollars a credit during the dispute
for subscribers. YouTube tv is and now the FCC is
(23:26):
getting in on it. So Brendan Carr, who's known to
lean on everyone, who was also the reason some might
say that Disney felt like they had to pull Jimmy
Kimmel off the air during that whole debacle. Now Brendan Carr,
Commissioner of the SEC, is saying, you guys need to
(23:48):
figure this out. YouTube you better do something about it.
This is from a cord Cutter's news Now, Mark, when
you hear this, you're gonna say that's great. This reporter
op obviously did not.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Use AI. Okay, you only think you know me. Listen, Okay,
do you ever?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is called on YouTube, TV and
Disney to reach a deal in the blackout. It says
it's hurting customers and it's time for the two sides
to reach a deal.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
This comes as those a growing amount of pressure.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That is a complete pro that is not AI. My friend,
I see how many times is that three? You have
to three? Two for me, one for you? Thank you?
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Okay, Pressure, including rumors at the NFL, would like to.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
See a deal reached with us in a blackout now.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Both sides are losing a lot of money to be
recording being reported by Morgan Stanley analysts.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
At some point, don't you expect him to say and
boom goes the dynamite? Right, classic classical like college TV
sportscaster trying to anchor his first show and boom goes
the dynamite.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Disney is losing about four point three million dollars so far,
maybe you roughly getting close to sixty million loss on
this blackout. But YouTube TV is also losing money. Those
are credits they're passing around to customers for twenty dollars
each could cost YouTube TV as much as two hundred
million if everybody claims them with us.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So YouTube losing two hundred million, Disney losing thirty million
a week. That's two weeks now, so that's sixty million dollars.
If this drags on for a month, then YouTube is
out two hundred million, Disney's out two hundred and forty million, No,
one hundred twenty million, and so on and so forth.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
So that's interesting. We'll keep an eye on it. YouTube
TV seems to be standing their ground.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right. They're gonna keep an eye on it, Mark,
that's what they do. Well.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
This isn't like the government shutdown. I can do without
either of these for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right, So, but he's gonna keep an eye on it.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
Disney doesn't seem to be willing to give either. Something's
going to have to give with it. Okay, we'll keep
a close eye on it. But the deals all.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right, So he's keeping an eye on it for it Smart.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
Still seems to be hinging on the price of YouTube TV,
these ESPN channels when it all comes down to it,
I've heard reports that they want the same price as
Comcast and Spectrum, which are the two largest providers a
love TV in the United States.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
There's even been a couple reports.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
I don't know how much way I put in some
the YouTube TV wants a better deal than what Comcasts
the Spectrum have been paying, all right. I don't know
if that one's true, but that's a floating rumor out there.
We'll have to keep an eye on this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
All right, So keep an eye on it. Watch for
floating rumors. We've got floating rumors. Don't know if they're true,
going to keep an eye on it. We're gonna have
to keep an eye on it, and we'll keep an
eye on it.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
What we do know is YouTube TV saying, hey, we've
paid more than what Comcasts the Spectrum paid since we launched,
but now that we're pretty much the same size or
in the same ballpark and expected to meet or exceed
them in the near future in subscribers, they want a
deal as good, if not better. Okay, a lot of
(27:13):
people would say, hey makes sense. They're a huge client,
why not serect a deal. Well, one of the things
they lack is content. You know, Comcasts and Disney both
give deals back and forth with their own content.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
We'll see what happens here.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
We'll see.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
But okay, Disney losing about four point three million dollars
a day, YouTube.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
TV also losing money. Something's going to break. We'll see
what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We'll see what it is because we're keeping an eye
on it. Something's got to give, some's got to break,
something's got to give. We're keeping an eye on it
and keep an eye on that. You know what stinks
is if you're a sports fan, because Disney's got ESPN now,
and ESPN has been cracking out a bunch of content,
and you spand now has a bunch of NBA stuff.
ESPN has just gotten in bed with the NFL network,
(28:00):
ABC obviously, and ESPN carrying Monday night football. So sports
fans are going list stings. As far as live TV,
I'm fascinated by the latest numbers, which I gotta tell you,
the decline and cable TV just hit another milestone which
is massive. I'll tell you what that is coming up
here in just a few moments. We'll keep an eye
(28:21):
on it. Something's got to give, We'll keep an eye
on it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm going to tell you what this it's a milestone.
But I'm fascinated by the fact that so many people
have decided do I really need any live TV? And
evidently the answer is pretty much no. In fact, I
would even make the argument that the only people still
(28:44):
interested in live television are sports fans.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Why else do you need.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It so that you can be the so that you
can see the reality TV a couple of hours before
it hits the streaming platform, And for Pete's sake, half
that stuff is already on.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
The streaming platform.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I mean, if you have, uh, if you have Disney,
you might be able to see the live TV cut
do they have do they carry that live? I have Disney,
but I gotta be honest, it's probably the stream where
I use the least. I do use Hulu all the time,
which is at a Disney property. Do they do they
stream live? Do they have the ABC network streaming live?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm gonna do some real I'm gonna keep an eye
on it, and I will do some research on this
and I will see uh if in fact, you can
stream ABC live.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
What he was just saying, I got it open here
in an ABC, Disney, Pixar, and Marlin, Hulu. What's live? Okay,
there's click on the live. I got ABC News Live.
It doesn't look like they're streaming just ABC Network right now.
I guess not anyway, Uh, I guess what reality shows
(29:55):
that you want to see it right away? Otherwise? What
is there that is that you need to see? Live
sports is like the only thing right I can catch
everything else.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It doesn't matter to me if I watch it at
six pm or at nine pm, or if it's gonna
air at nine pm and I gotta watch it tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And this is something in the office that everybody else
is talking about, and I don't want spoilers, and I
want to be, you know, in the cool kid group
or on the water cooler. What's the drive to live
TV sports?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Is it? That is it?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney starts blowing up some
deals with some of these other providers too. Going look
without us, you are TOAST, listen to Comcast, listen to Spectrum,
Without us, you've got nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
There's nothing left.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You actually need us because we have sports rights, and
without those sports rights, there's no reason for you to
have cable none. They'll all do Netflix and Paramount Plus
and HBO and Apple TV and two B.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
So much UBI. And maybe you've been one.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Of the victims of the numerous layoffs since Paramount Skydance merger. Right,
maybe HR hasn't dropped in on you quite yet, And
if not, might want to find out what some people
are doing that works in every business to avoid getting fired,
The secret hack to avoid the acts. Next, I'm Chris
merrill I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand listen
any time on demand of the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we're gonna reopen the scandal, because this is a scab
that is just not gonna heal. You heard Mark talking
about the Congressional Democrats releasing the set of emails from
Jeffrey Epstein and his associate gis Lane Maxwell.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Is that how you pronounced that? Yeah, that's it. That's right.
I'm pretty sure I got it. Is it one of
those foreign names?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, j Yeah, yeah, suggesting that Trump had greater knowledge
of Epstein's trafficking network than what he admitted. There was
a message in twenty eleven that Epstein wrote that Trump
was that dog that hasn't barked.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Is that like like he's not sounding the alarms yet,
or like he isn't he's not showing up anywhere. Well,
I don't know what that means. He also claimed that
a victim spent hours at my house with him.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It was the quote, not my house, his house.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Trump denies any wrongdoing, the White House not immediately responding,
although you did hear some quotes from from Caroline Levitt
saying this is obviously the Democrats who don't like sex
with minors?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
How dare they?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
The moment was putting pressure on the US House Committee
in Oversight and Reform to release more of the Epstein files.
So that is what we're waiting on. Will it come out?
I don't know. There is another. There is another is
we're getting more and more into this, all these files
(01:38):
that are released, we're finding out that indeed, there's more
that Epstein said that just is not really all that kosher.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Like.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
For instance, in twenty eighteen, authorities were closing in on Epstein.
A series of articles in the Miami Herald showed that
mister Trump's labor secretary had signed off on mister Epstein's
two thousand and eight plea deal okay from the New
York Times. The Miami Herald series prompted the Justice Department
to open a wide ranging criminal investigation into Epstein. You
remember all this happening, It transpired during Trump's first term.
(02:10):
The whole which hunt thing happened while.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
He was the Wizard. I don't know. That doesn't make
any sense either. Anyway, he was the president.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It was his Justice Department that opened the investigation because
his labor secretary had signed off on the deal back
when he was a lawyer back in the day. So
in December twenty eighteen, Epstein was texting with what they're
calling an unidentified acquaintance who wrote that they're really just.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Trying to take Trump down.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They're really just trying to take down Trump, excuse me,
and doing whatever they can to do that. It's wild,
Epstein replied, because I'm the one able to take him down,
which you may infer that he's trying to imply that
he has some sort of.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Evidence about it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Epstein and another correspondence about Trump and mar A Lago,
Trump said he asked me to resign never a member ever,
talking about mar A Lago, saying Trump asked me to resign,
never a member ever. Of course he knew about the
girls as he asked gis Lane to stop, he said
that he cut ties. Trump said that he cut ties
(03:21):
with Epstein after Epstein stole Virginia Guffrey from mar A Lago,
where she had worked as a SPA attended others, saying,
now they had a falling out over a real estate deal.
But I should also point this out because one of
the girls that he claims that Trump spent a significant
amount of time with was this Virginia Guphrey who this
(03:43):
is the one who took her own life, I believe
earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right, correct? Right?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I gotta make sure I could jewfro Oh, I'm sorry,
I was saying it wrong. Okay, jew Fry, thank you,
I apologize. So Epstein's email said that jew Frey had
spent hours at my house with him, and yet mister
Trump has never once been mentioned. But miss Jeoffrey said
in twenty sixteen in a deposition that Trump never had
sex with her or even flirted with her. So that's
(04:09):
gonna be key that she said that on the record,
as opposed to Epstein, who can't testify on the record because.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
He was killed himself.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
In the one minute that the cameras that the jail
didn't work, which is a hell.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Of a coincidence. So that happened. So anyway, what happens next?
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It makes for fodder. I don't know that the Democrats
have anything other than smoke. I don't think that they
have evidence of fire. So what can they do with it?
They can make political Hey, good Morning America was talking
about it this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The bombshell release of what House Democrats say are emails
to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, several
referring to President Donald Trump by name. In April tw
only eleven email released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee,
lawmaker say Epstein wrote to his now convicted accomplice Glenn Maxwell,
(05:08):
three years after pleading guilty to sex crimes involving a minor,
telling her, I want you to realize that that dog
that hasn't barked is Trump. Unnamed victims spent hours at
my house with him. He has never once been mentioned,
according to the released emails, Maxwell responds, I have been
thinking about that, but this summer. In a recorded interview
(05:28):
with the Department of Justice, Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General
Todd Blanche, the president's former lawyer, she never witnessed Trump
act inappropriately.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in
any way.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
The President was never inappropriate with anybody who in the
times that I was with him, he was a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's on the record.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Man, in all respects.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's a big deal that it's on the record.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Shortly after that interview, Maxwell was moved to a minimum
security prison camp, prompting criticism she received special treatment Committee
Democrats also releasing this January twenty nineteen email where Epstein
corresponds with author Michael Wolfe, less than six months before
the financier would be charged again, this time with sex
trafficking of minors. Discussing President Trump's repeated claim he kicked
(06:16):
Epstein out of his Palm Beach club, Epstein, writing Trump said,
he asked me to resign.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Never a member ever. I just said that.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Of course he knew about the girls, as he asked
Gilen to stop. President Trump has denied any knowledge of
Epstein's alleged crimes.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So how long was wolf gonna sit on these emails?
How's this just coming out?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Oaks?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It's so started by Democrats.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
After Epstein's arrest in twenty nineteen, Trump said he hadn't
spoken with him in fifteen years, and earlier this year,
Trump claimed the reason he banned his one time friend
from Maro Lago in the mid two thousands was because
Epstein stole Trump's club staff, including young women.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
He took people, and because he took me play said,
don't do it anymore. You know, they work for me,
and he took me. Beyond that, he took some others.
And once he did that, that was the m I
didn't like where they steal people.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Buck And no response yet from the White House on
the release of these emails.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Okay, but the White House is responding to more Epstein news,
including for someone that says that there's there's nothing here
is responding to the Epstein news something worthy of heading
to the situation realm. We'll find out why next. Chris
merrill I AM six forty. We're live everywhere in the
(07:33):
iHeartRadio AP. You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
We have a very important segment coming up here right
after Mark's eight thirty news, and that is there's a
new trend where kids are making fun of you. I'm
going to tell you what it is. It's important, it's
very important stuff. In the meantime, there's a more coming
(07:58):
out about Jeffrey seen. The Democrats released some files. Now
the Republicans say that the Democrats cherry picked things out
of the files that make Trump look bad. Well, I
don't think the Democrats are going to release files that
say and then highlight files that, say.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Jeffrey Epstein placed in order with door dash. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's it's not really newsworthy, right, So they're cherry picking
things where he's talking about Trump. Look, I don't run
in these circles. I'm not a billionaire. I don't deal
with hedge fund managers. And who knows. Maybe if you're
a billionaire hedge fund manager, you just happen to be
(08:39):
running in the same circles as pedophile sex traffickers.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe that happens.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe if you are a prince in Great Britain, you
just accidentally tend to vacation with predatory sex traffickers. Maybe
that's just the thing that happens. Know, those aren't my circles.
But I can tell you my name's not in these emails.
My name's not in there from the talkbacks.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Come on, Chris, she's a known liar. She has a
lot to lose and a lot to gain.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Wait who.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Who? Uh, Jeffrey or oh, Julane Maxwell, Glaine Maxwell, James
Laine Maxwell, Oh, yeah, she's a known liar, has a
lot to lose, a lot to gain. But it was
it was good free the woman who took her own life,
who was one of Epstein's victims, who claimed that Trump
never never had sex with her, never even flirted with her,
(09:36):
and was an absolute gentleman. So it's just there's just
a lot, it's just not adding up. There's a lot
of smoke, but I still don't see any fire. But
there is a lot of smoke. And it doesn't really
help when the president president calls in somebody to his office. Today,
the government is about to reopen the the time breaking
(10:01):
representative who's going to demand that the files on Epstein
be completely released. He's about to be sworn in, and
the President called a representative with no clout into the
situation room.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
From CNN National Affairs correspondent Jeff Zeleini, he is at
the White House for US Jeff.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Good to see you.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Sources telling CNN that top administration officials met today in
the situation room about the House vote. What does that
tell us?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What are we learning? Well, casey look.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said that in the
briefing today, confirming our CNN reporting that Lauren Bobert, of
course a single member of Congress, not a leadership member,
not on any key committees.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She's also incidentally single and would love to go to
the theater.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
Had that meeting in the Situation Room with the Attorney
General of the United States, with the Deputy Attorney General,
with the FBI director, and of course Lauren Bobert is
one of the Republicans who has said she would cross
over and sign that discharge, a petition which would allow
the House to go forward and vote on releasing the
Department of Justice Epstein files. Lauren Bobert has just told
(11:15):
our colleagues on Capitol Hill that she has no plans
of changing or her pledge to vote for that. But
that extraordinary meeting here at the White House just underscores
the stakes of all of this. The White House sought
to explain the meeting in the Situation Room earlier today
like this, Okay, it.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Is not a coincidence that the Democrats leaked these emails
to the fake news this morning ahead of Republicans.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Wait, you're using there's.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
A lot of they leaked the emails to the fake news. Okay,
where are things not true?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Reopening the government?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Where's the falsenessire?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
White House officials been meeting with Representative Bobert in an
effort to try and get her to not sign this
pitchure calling for the release of the box.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration
are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Doesn't that show our level of transparency? Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Uh No, it shows that you're targeting one Republican who's
been loyal to President Trump for a very long time,
who's now going to vote against him on something that
is potentially damning politically maybe personally. And you called her
specifically into the situation room, of all places.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It wasn't like, hey, won't you come out and have
a cup of tea?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And the new East Wing Sorry, we don't have any
swing and the new ballt No, that's not built either.
And then in rosegark nout we bulldozed that, why don't
you come hang out on the patio. No, they went
into the situation room. It was a little weird, a
little weird. Now I'm not there, I don't Maybe there's
(12:56):
more to the story, But if there is, Carolyn Love,
it isn't telling us she's leaning on the same broken
record of fake news.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Democrats leaked it.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
They leaked the emails, and now Lauren Lauren Bobert is
in the situation room, and you go, why'd you call
Lauren Bobert over? That's don't make it make a lot
of sense. You're I have her come over and what
spot of tea? No, it's about Epstein, So what's it about?
(13:29):
It just makes me suspicious again.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
More smoke.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I don't see the fire. A lot of smoke. No
embers got to see the embers.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
A lot of.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Circumstantial evidence, but a lot of it is very politically
charged as well.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
When does the smoking gun come out? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I don't have any idea, no clue, no clue. But
I don't want to talk any more about politics because
basically it bores me so much. Palace intrigue. It's just
a lot of lobbing, a bunch of name calling back
and forth. What good does that do anybody? It's just dysfunction.
We're better than that, or maybe we're not. When you
(14:12):
find out what the latest internet trend is, where the
kids you're trying to help, you're just a kind soul
and all they're doing is bullying you and you don't
even know it until it's too late. And find out
what this new trend is next Chris Merril KFI AM
six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio. You're listening
to KFI AM six forty on demand. You guys are
(14:34):
gonna have to help me through this because I don't
really understand what this is.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But they're coming for you. Oh boy, are they coming
for you.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
The kids these days, there's a new TikTok trend and
it's called They're very sneaky with us. It's called flip
the camera, and I don't understand it at all, So
hopefully you guys know what the hell this is. It
is more from silly reveal clips into something more.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Sinister.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Videos are emerging where the final reveal humiliates or singles
out someone else, sparking concerns that it's being used for bullying.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It's viral, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Visual, and it's happening all over the country, including two
teenagers right here in southern California.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
So hm okay.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So the user offers a tip or a statement and
then accidentally flip flips the camera to show a person, pet,
or object, often unexpected.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Teens might ask strangers to record their dance and then
secretly flip the camera to film the stranger.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't understand guys, how does this work? Video show
unsuspecting people who are just trying to be kind or helpful.
Commenters then mock the stranger's appearance or behavior. Users are
calling the trend bullying, and they are reporting the posts.
Some viewers posted tearful reactions, saying the trend feels cruel
and means spirited. CDC says that it's cyber bullying, buloying
(16:08):
reports of the highest one middle and high schoolers, the
same group that are driving the trend.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I don't understand it, guys. Do you know?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How do you? How do you hand the phone off
and then the other person not know? I don't get it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
I've never once done anything you're talking about. I'm not
on TikTok. It's like talking to Tony about making his
own phone from coconuts.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It must be that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Okay, So you're using the rear facing camera. Rear facing
camera means it's pointed.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
At you, right, the one that makes you look like
a drowning victim, The horrible one.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The one that you see yoursel phone. Yeah that's the one. Yeah,
those are terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So it must be that they are recording using that,
and then they're asking a stranger to hold the phone
while they dance, rather than holding the phone like they're
recording something else, they're supposed to be just kind of
holding it almost like a selfie stick, I guess, like
a human selfie stick. And then they touch it, they
(17:13):
flip it around so that the cameras on the on
the front, which are now facing the stranger, are just
recording close ups of the strangers and basically up their nose.
I guess so, a TikTok user says, nine times out
of ten, the person looks like the sweetest, kindest, most
innocent human being. You can tell they were just trying
to be nice, probably quiet, probably introverted. Maybe not even
(17:35):
part of that friend group for real, because you if
you say for real.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Then it's it's it's legit, no cap that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The user added that once the videos are shared online,
commenters make fun of the strangers, including calling them names,
all without them knowing that they've been posted or consenting
to it. Someone else says, y'all, can we stop saying
y'all please?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I know y'all is spreading. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Y'all are turning kindness into content, and that's sad. That
person agreed to hold the camera to be kind, not
to get bullied online. Oh look, teenagers aren't respecting other
people as being human beings because they all think they're
main characters.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's never happened in the history of human kind. This
is why you should never be nice to teenagers. Never
because chances are that teenager is mocking you. And I
know what you're thinking. Oh what if I can set
an example and that teenager can learn from my example,
and maybe they'll have to be a better person because
I was good to them. I was kind to them,
I showed them kindness. Now they're gonna be kind people.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
They're not.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They're teenagers. They're horrible. They're just horrible human beings from
the very beginning. They're horrible and you should never trust
them ever. I know, I was a teenager and I
was horrible. One years A shared a video of herself
cries from You said a day of her crying, with
the caption me after seeing the flipping camera trend and
realizing how cruel you little kids are.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, so now we're just crying on behalf of somebody
that doesn't even know.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
They were bullied online. If you are bullied online but
don't know it, are you bullied? Genuine question, if a
tree falls in the woods, if someone is mocking me.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
When you when you work in this business, you get
to feedback from people anytime that you anything performed. If
somebody's going to tell you how terrible you are, and
you have two choices. You can either let it bring
you down or you can use it to try to
get you to try to get better, and basically a
giant f you to them. Now what I do is
(19:41):
I cry at night. I try to get better, but
mostly I just cry a lot on my own.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
However, if you're listening to this show and you don't
like something I say, and then you're say in a
car with somebody else, and you go, boy, that guy's
an idiot, what a mora?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And I hope he gets fired.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
This guy is miserable, And you say a bunch of
stuff that if you were to say it to my face,
would send me right again into the corner crying. But
I don't know it. Am I being bullied? I genuinely
do not know the answer to this question. If the
victim doesn't know that they're a victim, are they a victim?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do they have standing? I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
However, if you do this this trend where you flip
the camera around and then you're pointing get up somebody's
nose and you're you're mocking them and they find out
about it, then I absolutely say that it's bullying one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm not so sure about it. I got nothing else
say on that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And since you guys are all old fuddy duddies that
can't keep up with the kids these days, I got
nothing else.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Anybody else, anything else to add sounds mean spirited.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Thank you, Mark, that was very inxcighting. You're welcome. Nothing else.
All right, let's call this a segment. Then Tony will
go to call a segment. All right, very good. Your
screen just went black during Monday night football and you
thought it was the internet, I think up again.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Nope, it's not.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
It's seven figures a week disappearing while two entertainment giants
argue like children over the remote, what they're up to
and how close they are to not get it off. Next,
Chris merrilf I AM six forty. We live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio. You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
(21:29):
Listen anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app. Talk to
you about which Hollywood celebrities are making others very angry
because they just sold out to Mark's favorite new technology AI.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So that's that's coming. Is Disney back on YouTube yet?
Apparently not? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I keep waiting for them to be breaking news, but
it's just not. Haven't happened yet. I guess Disney's losing
a ton of money thirty million a week as Disney
and YouTube still have not come to a deal for
YouTube to carry Disney's.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Streaming stuff, and it keeps getting uglier and uglier.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, Now, my understanding is that the NFL says, you
guys need to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
We are in Is this right? Day thirteen? It's funny
speaking of AI, Matthew, Am I right?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You were using AI to create summaries and bullet points
to these stories, because that's what I do. I looked
on the notes and I was like, Oh, that looks
incredibly well organized for a producer who's doing this very quickly.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
But I think he's doing the same thing I do. Really,
he's us to get to skim the article. You're a
trader to humanity.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm telling you I'm getting more stuff done. I'm telling
you I didn't replace Matthew. In fact, what we did
is we actually elaborated on the stories even further, and
then we were flexible when we had breaking news tonight.
So disappointing. Nobody lost a gig. Nobody did that. I'm
not selling out to anything. I'm not. We're just improving
(23:06):
everything we can using the tools at our disposal. Meanwhile,
Morgan Stanley says thirty million dollars in lost revenue per
week for Disney. YouTube is now offering twenty dollars a
deal on or twenty dollars a credit during the dispute
for subscribers. YouTube tv is and now the FCC is
(23:26):
getting in on it. So Brendan Carr, who's known to
lean on everyone, who was also the reason some might
say that Disney felt like they had to pull Jimmy
Kimmel off the air during that whole debacle. Now Brendan Carr,
Commissioner of the SEC, is saying, you guys need to
(23:48):
figure this out. YouTube you better do something about it.
This is from a cord Cutter's news Now, Mark, when
you hear this, you're gonna say that's great. This reporter
op obviously did not.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Use AI. Okay, you only think you know me. Listen, Okay,
do you ever?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is called on YouTube, TV and
Disney to reach a deal in the blackout. It says
it's hurting customers and it's time for the two sides
to reach a deal.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
This comes as those a growing amount of pressure.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That is a complete pro that is not AI. My friend,
I see how many times is that three? You have
to three? Two for me, one for you? Thank you?
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Okay, Pressure, including rumors at the NFL, would like to.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
See a deal reached with us in a blackout now.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Both sides are losing a lot of money to be
recording being reported by Morgan Stanley analysts.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
At some point, don't you expect him to say and
boom goes the dynamite? Right, classic classical like college TV
sportscaster trying to anchor his first show and boom goes
the dynamite.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Disney is losing about four point three million dollars so far,
maybe you roughly getting close to sixty million loss on
this blackout. But YouTube TV is also losing money. Those
are credits they're passing around to customers for twenty dollars
each could cost YouTube TV as much as two hundred
million if everybody claims them with us.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So YouTube losing two hundred million, Disney losing thirty million
a week. That's two weeks now, so that's sixty million dollars.
If this drags on for a month, then YouTube is
out two hundred million, Disney's out two hundred and forty million, No,
one hundred twenty million, and so on and so forth.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
So that's interesting. We'll keep an eye on it. YouTube
TV seems to be standing their ground.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right. They're gonna keep an eye on it, Mark,
that's what they do. Well.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
This isn't like the government shutdown. I can do without
either of these for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right, So, but he's gonna keep an eye on it.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
Disney doesn't seem to be willing to give either. Something's
going to have to give with it. Okay, we'll keep
a close eye on it. But the deals all.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right, So he's keeping an eye on it for it Smart.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
Still seems to be hinging on the price of YouTube TV,
these ESPN channels when it all comes down to it,
I've heard reports that they want the same price as
Comcast and Spectrum, which are the two largest providers a
love TV in the United States.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
There's even been a couple reports.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
I don't know how much way I put in some
the YouTube TV wants a better deal than what Comcasts
the Spectrum have been paying, all right. I don't know
if that one's true, but that's a floating rumor out there.
We'll have to keep an eye on this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
All right, So keep an eye on it. Watch for
floating rumors. We've got floating rumors. Don't know if they're true,
going to keep an eye on it. We're gonna have
to keep an eye on it, and we'll keep an
eye on it.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
What we do know is YouTube TV saying, hey, we've
paid more than what Comcasts the Spectrum paid since we launched,
but now that we're pretty much the same size or
in the same ballpark and expected to meet or exceed
them in the near future in subscribers, they want a
deal as good, if not better. Okay, a lot of
(27:13):
people would say, hey makes sense. They're a huge client,
why not serect a deal. Well, one of the things
they lack is content. You know, Comcasts and Disney both
give deals back and forth with their own content.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
We'll see what happens here.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
We'll see.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
But okay, Disney losing about four point three million dollars
a day, YouTube.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
TV also losing money. Something's going to break. We'll see
what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We'll see what it is because we're keeping an eye
on it. Something's got to give, some's got to break,
something's got to give. We're keeping an eye on it
and keep an eye on that. You know what stinks
is if you're a sports fan, because Disney's got ESPN now,
and ESPN has been cracking out a bunch of content,
and you spand now has a bunch of NBA stuff.
ESPN has just gotten in bed with the NFL network,
(28:00):
ABC obviously, and ESPN carrying Monday night football. So sports
fans are going list stings. As far as live TV,
I'm fascinated by the latest numbers, which I gotta tell you,
the decline and cable TV just hit another milestone which
is massive. I'll tell you what that is coming up
here in just a few moments. We'll keep an eye
(28:21):
on it. Something's got to give, We'll keep an eye
on it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm going to tell you what this it's a milestone.
But I'm fascinated by the fact that so many people
have decided do I really need any live TV? And
evidently the answer is pretty much no. In fact, I
would even make the argument that the only people still
(28:44):
interested in live television are sports fans.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Why else do you need.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It so that you can be the so that you
can see the reality TV a couple of hours before
it hits the streaming platform, And for Pete's sake, half
that stuff is already on.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
The streaming platform.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I mean, if you have, uh, if you have Disney,
you might be able to see the live TV cut
do they have do they carry that live? I have Disney,
but I gotta be honest, it's probably the stream where
I use the least. I do use Hulu all the time,
which is at a Disney property. Do they do they
stream live? Do they have the ABC network streaming live?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm gonna do some real I'm gonna keep an eye
on it, and I will do some research on this
and I will see uh if in fact, you can
stream ABC live.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
What he was just saying, I got it open here
in an ABC, Disney, Pixar, and Marlin, Hulu. What's live? Okay,
there's click on the live. I got ABC News Live.
It doesn't look like they're streaming just ABC Network right now.
I guess not anyway, Uh, I guess what reality shows
(29:55):
that you want to see it right away? Otherwise? What
is there that is that you need to see? Live
sports is like the only thing right I can catch
everything else.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It doesn't matter to me if I watch it at
six pm or at nine pm, or if it's gonna
air at nine pm and I gotta watch it tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And this is something in the office that everybody else
is talking about, and I don't want spoilers, and I
want to be, you know, in the cool kid group
or on the water cooler. What's the drive to live
TV sports?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Is it? That is it?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney starts blowing up some
deals with some of these other providers too. Going look
without us, you are TOAST, listen to Comcast, listen to Spectrum,
Without us, you've got nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
There's nothing left.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You actually need us because we have sports rights, and
without those sports rights, there's no reason for you to
have cable none. They'll all do Netflix and Paramount Plus
and HBO and Apple TV and two B.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
So much UBI. And maybe you've been one.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Of the victims of the numerous layoffs since Paramount Skydance merger. Right,
maybe HR hasn't dropped in on you quite yet, And
if not, might want to find out what some people
are doing that works in every business to avoid getting fired,
The secret hack to avoid the acts. Next, I'm Chris

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.
