Speaker 3 (02:04):
What a shocker.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And it was always the new girl because it was
all females that worked for me, because we were in
fertility and talking to women about their uteri and endometriosis
and you know all kinds of stuff, you know, follicles
and all of that vast deference because there's a vast
difference between male and female.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And so it was always the new girl until we
had a new girl. Then it became the new girl,
and I had to know. I had to find out
what the old new girl's name was. So yeah, there's
a lot of grief there. Oh, okay, and Gorning, good

they just don't spend a lot of money on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, by the way, do they never mind?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I was going to go into the whole headset fiasco
where everybody has their own headsets. The station will provide headsets.
They buy them in bulk at eight dollars apiece, and
here you go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You can have.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We have We have some news on.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
This Thursday morning, May twenty ninth. Let's start with Amy
Neil and me lead story. Well, the ongoing battle between
President Trump and everybody else in government in the non
executive branch part of government.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
The tariffs have been just ruled illegal or.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Most of the tariffs by the federal by a federal
judicial panel.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And this is the Court of.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
International Trade, the US Court of International Trade.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Which controls tariffs.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And the problem has been from the beginning, how far
can a president, in this case President Trump go in
determining arbitrarily what he wants, who he's going to tariff,
how much he's going to tariff, to what extent, how long?
And the court said, you know what, there are some
(05:55):
rules here. The president's position is that there are no rules.
The president has unbridled, unfettered power to tear if anybody
he wants, change it, increase it, decrease it, change it
three times a week, which seems to be happening, and
it's okay, we'll see if there are some guide rails here.
(06:17):
They also allowed some of it too, because it's very
specific as to how far the law allows a president
to go, and it's in there in the law. He says,
none of that matters. I am president, and I can
do whatever the hell I want. The pardon power, for example,
the pardon power is unfettered. He literally can pardon anybody.
(06:37):
He can pardon anybody who would turn around and take
top secrets and hand them to China. Not that he
ever would, of course, but it's just unbridled, not so
much the terriffs. So we'll talk a lot more about that. Well,
seven o'clock, I'm going to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Mister Musk is ejecting from the Trump administration. CEO Elon
Musk is leaving. His off boarding has begun, according to
the White House. He posted on x yesterday thanking President
Trump for his time as a special government employee with
the Department of Government Efficiency draws to an end. He added, No,
(07:24):
he didn't add, but somebody said that his departure would
was decided at a senior staff level. But he was
always scheduled to leave after one hundred and thirty days.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, about to hit that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And you knew that he were going to leave as
soon as he started getting more press than the president.
No one gets more press than the president, So you
knew he was on his way out. And what his
contention is, He was there to bring the deficit down,
to bring down the national debt, and this new budget
that President Trump is proposing or Congress is proposing in
(07:54):
President Trump they were having some fights about it too.
Is that it's going to increase the national debt by
trillions of dollars. And if you remember President Trump came
into office saying I Am going to decrease the debt.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, it's going to increase the debt.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And that's and Elon Musk is not very happy about that,
and it's making it known.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Stew one More Health and Humans Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
announced just on Tuesday that his agency will no longer
be recommending the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and
healthy children. Issue here is now you've got doctors coming
out and going, well, you know, pregnancy is one of
(08:44):
the concerns. It's one of the mitigating circumstances that they
recommend you should have the vaccine for because it can
cause problems. COVID can cause problems with pregnancy if the
pregnant woman should get it. So doctors are a little
pissed off about this, going against the very studies that
(09:07):
they've done.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, this is mainstream medicine says, this is not a
good decision. Pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine because
if they get COVID, it can be catastrophic. And of
course Robert Kennedy is not a big fan of COVID's
from a vaccines from day one. Matter of fact, he
has asked for testing to go on with all the
(09:31):
vaccines because they didn't do the double blind placebo tests
and he wants to go back and test everything, like
the polio vaccine. Let's go back and retest the polio
vaccine that came out in the fifties that has saved
tens of millions of people. He said, we didn't test
it enough. We have to go back and test it.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You are not going to do any test in a
lab that is going to do more than millions of
people taking the vaccine that we took during COVID. How
are you going to do a study is more than.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Because the argument, the argument is the danger of that
vaccine was not tested only the efficacy that it worked,
not the dangers. Because we know what vaccine does, just
ask Kennedy. It causes autism, It causes all kinds of problems.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
What causes two bdiyes too close together?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Like, well, that's another one. So yeah, it's it's tough, all.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Right, visas revoked. Secretary of St.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Marco Rubio says the US is going to begin revoking
visas for Chinese students. He said that it includes for those,
in his words, with connections to the Chinese Communist Party
or studying in critical fields. Chinese students make up are
about two hundred and seventy thousand of them in the US.
(10:50):
That's about a quarter of all the foreign students in
the US.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
On the one hand, I buy into the fact that
there is tremendous amount of espionage that's being stolen from
US industry, from people that work their spies that the
Chinese government puts into place just to steal technology. Whether
students do it or not, I don't know. And this
(11:16):
is pretty far reaching, making it very almost impossible. And
there's those are the number one group of foreign students,
particularly at California. And by the way, one of the
problems is, you know, they get tens of thousands of
these and they can't tell the applications apart.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You know, they all look exactly the same.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Okay, Taco trade Trump doesn't like it. President Trump has
bristled when he was asked about a New Wall Street
term based on his his tendency to put trades on
or tariffs on, take them off, threaten them, then say oh,
hold off. He says it was a nasty question that
he was asked about. A reporter asked Trump in the
(12:01):
Oval office about what was dubbed by a Financial Times
columnist as the Taco trade. It stands for Trump always
chickens out.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, he was not happy with that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Now I saw it.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
He was like, yeah, I haven't heard of that, and
that kind of went back and fired off a few
things of why he says he's not chickening.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Out right, And he says, listen, yeah, I go ahead
and I announce, and then I take back, and then
I announce and then I change it. And its negotiation
is what it is to get these people to the table,
because the reason the tariffs are going into place is, frankly,
our balance of trade is miserable. That we're importing many,
(12:42):
many more products than we're selling to various countries. It's
a lot more complicated than that, a lot more complicated
than that. But of course life is fairly simple in
the world of this administration. So he's saying, no, remember
that the economy was going to explode as soon as
he came into office literally day one, not quite and
(13:03):
there's a bunch of other things, So I think inherently,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Are we hearing you now?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You gotta love that term taco.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Though, I love it. I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So it's a lot more complicated life happens to be,
especially under this stuff, under what happens with the trade
and the depth sit I mean, his heart if he
wills in the right place, because he wants to bring businesses,
he wants to bring employment, he wants to bring factories
back to the United States. I don't think anybody can
argue that. But is it realistic? Yesterday I did a
(13:35):
story on he wants Apple all iPhones made in the
United States.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Impossible, impossible, and he.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Told Tim Cook, you either bring all of production here
and or I'm hitting you with a twenty five percent
tariff right now.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So anyway, is it taco? Is it burrito? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Feeling hot, hot hot, get ready for several years of
even more record breaking heat that will push the Earth
to more deadly, fiery, uncomfortable extremes. That is from the
World Meteorological Organization and the UK Meteorological Office they say
there's an eighty percent chance the world will break another
(14:19):
annual temperature record temperature record in the next five years.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You know you're not hearing anymore that if we reduce
the emissions, carbon emissions, fossil fuel production and burning down dramatically,
it will help.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It may turn around, it'll stop climate change. It won't.
We've hit critical mass. We're done.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's here, and if we do nothing, if we bring
it down to zero, it's still here and it's going
to go on.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
The only issue is how fast is it going to
go at one hundred miles an hour or is it
going to go at.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Fifty miles an hour. So far, all of.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The predictions from the climatologists, the science to study this stuff,
it's moving far faster in terms of the world heating
up than anticipated.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
That has been reported. Not good news. I've said this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm happy that I'm not twenty years old and about
to live for the rest of my life watching what's
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I do not envy my daughters. I do not envy
their kids. I don't the.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Earth will be fine. Just to people on it won't be.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh yeah, the Earth is going to be very hot.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know, I've been through a bunch of things. It'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be very,
very tough. But you're right, will it Will it come back? Well,
it came back after the dinosaurs died and the big
meteor hit and after the ice age.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
But we have to live in there, or you have
to live in there, because I'm not going to the
Only thing is, you know, those of us are going
to get buried. If you're cremated, you're gonna heat up.
But if you're buried, if you're gonna get buried, you're
gonna cook in the ground anyway, So enjoy. It's like
one of those you know pigs that they the pork
they cook in Hawaii, you know, with the stones and
(16:01):
they put the pig in it and then they put
the banana leaves on it.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Really, that's what's going to happen to us if you
get buried. I just thought of that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That's so, that's a world.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
There's a Now Now all I want is koloa pig
and eggs right now. All right, Bill, you've been complaining
and concerned about this as well. One of the concerns
is that some of these cuts are going to hit
scientific research. Sixteen states are suing Trump and his administration
rather over National Science Foundation directive. They're looking at these
(16:33):
and they're saying, this is going to gut the National
Science Foundation. You know, on one side, you've got people
in the Trump cap the MAGA type folks that are
saying that there's not enough research on vaccines. And then
on the other side they're cutting scientific research.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, they are going to cut and they are cutting
scientific research. This is not an administration that likes science,
that likes research, that like scientific breakthrough.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
It's all about politics. It's that simple.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
If whoever is a proponent a supporter, gets the kudos,
and if not done and it's tough. I mean, we're
talking about gutting programs that actually going to save people's lives.
The United States is going to come from the forefront
of this kind of research, which it has been. Again
(17:31):
I'm not an exceptionalist, but in many cases, the US
is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
As I've said many times, this is one of them.
This is one of the reasons. Well that's being cut
off at the knees.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Unfortunately, what country do you think is the best country
in terms of what to live in. I don't know.
It depends.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It depends on what your parameters are. It depends if
you're poor, any of the Scandinavian countries.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
If you're rich, the US is a great place to live.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If you want scientific endeavors, if you like research, the
United States. If you want a safety net, you go
to Finland. If you want a great education, a great
general education, you go to Norway. If you have kids,
So it depends on where and what and what are
the parameters. If you like great weather, you go to
(18:22):
San Diego. It's the best weather in the world. And
that's part of the United States. If you like guns, huh,
no issue on that one. If you want a country
that is neutral, where everybody is happy that they don't
get into politics, they don't go into wars, you know,
they're not part of all this, you go to Sweden.
(18:44):
You don't live in Iran, which is all about terrorism.
So you know why and what. You can't just say
the greatest country in the world. I mean you can,
but it's as it is. Life is more complicated than
just black and white. Race relations not so good here.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Tax if you liking if you like eating sand for dinner,
you go to Yemen.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm sorry, I could keep on going and going coladas
and getting caught in the rain. You go to the
Bahamas if you want to wear shorts and drink yourself silly.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Okay, Amy, Sorry, that's okay. Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Taxing the rich is not flying in the House. House
Republicans have rejected a push by some allys allies of
Trump to include hikes on the rich in the legislation
they passed last week. The measure excluded a millionaire's tax,
which Trump has said he was open to, and other
proposals to raise taxes on top earners. Of course, it
(19:51):
was pitched by Stephen Bannon, the president's first term chief strategist.
The Senate could make some changes to the Republicans in
the House are expected to say, no, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
This is interesting because this is kind intuitive. This is
the president wanting to tax the rich. Everybody above four
hundred thousand dollars is going to get taxed more, and
his GOP, the GOP stalwarts. You don't tax the rich
because the rich produced jobs, produced businesses, and you don't
want to stop that.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So President's playing a middle ground on this one. Interestingly enough, Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Maybe to him, he doesn't think they're rich. He's like millionaires,
aren't they.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, that's true. Four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, that's middle class, not even middle class, lower middle class.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Was his threshold. Four hundred thousand.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
That was a that was a Biden thresholder there was.
I think it's like two and a half million, is
what Trump was saying.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I don't think so. I think the income has four
hundred thousand dollars. I think so. You can look that up.
It's a different tax.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But Biden was going to cut taxes and the four
hundred thousand dollars was going to be the threshold.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I do believe that's true.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Okay, you know how they have, you know, taxes for
everything nowadays they're adding everything. Now going to Hawaii going
to get bumped up a bit. There's going to be
a fee for travelers staying in hotels, short term vacation
rentals of course, and for the first time ever bill
cruise ships and it will be a nightly hotel rate
(21:28):
of three hundred bucks will be in So if you
go and you're paying three hundred bucks for a room,
it's going to be an extra two dollars and twenty
five cents each night, which means nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's just pennies, but except it adds. It's all cumulative.
You go to New York, it's twelve or thirteen percent
on top of everything else that you pay.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
This will be about eleven percent on a nightly lodging
rate at this point. But this is all supposed to
go to climate change. I don't know. I'm a little
cynical that this is that this money ever sees those
causes anymore than our streets.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, and I'm a little confused if you can tell
me climate change. Is that to stop climate change? Or
is it to create more climate change?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
No, it's four projects and environmental stage type stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Okay, got it? Got it?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Which out of all places?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I mean yeah, okay, it's it's not to create
more climate change.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
And yeah, they're actually raising a hot house. Yeah, they're
giving them beans and doing what they can.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Well said, we got suits and counter suits. Smokey Robinson
has filed a five hundred million dollars counter lawsuit against
four former employees who sued Smoky earlier this month for
fifty million dollars. They say that they were sexually battered, assaulted,
(22:55):
there was false imprivsonment involved.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
They say they were raped.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Smokey has denied all all the accusations, and in the countersuit,
he and his wife say his accusers defamed him at
a press conference, they say they treated their employees as
extended family, and then also provided photos and text messages
of the women spending holidays and vacations with them.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't know why it's not five hundred billion, gazillion
trillion dollars. These lawsuits are crazy. Trump going against CBS
twenty billion dollars. I mean, it's it's become kind of insane.
Although if he wins, you've got four former employees, so
they'll be responsible for what one hundred and twenty five
(23:38):
million dollars each.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
May take them a while to pay it back.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
There's now at the court a smoky and non smoky
Robinson's section.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Oh, very good, very good, all right.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Series of joint law enforcement operations launched by California Governor
gav He led to more than led them to more
and sixty seven hundred arrests, so nearly five thousand stolen
vehicles recovered hundreds of firearms seized across San Bernardino. Get
you all right, ConA, well what Bakersfield and Oakland officials
(24:14):
announced this there with great pride. Through these partnerships, they
aimed to reduce roadway violence, criminal activity in high crime areas.
A lot going on in Bakersfield. Three thousand three, one
hundred and fifteen arrests were made just there.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't understand how they got those numbers from Bakersfield,
because I don't know how they got anybody that admitted
they lived in Bakersfield, much less stole cars or the
victim of car theft.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Bakersfield is fine.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh yeah, Bakersfield is a delight four one of the
better cities.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, here it is.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Remember you asked why, you know why I think America,
why people think America is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Here's the answer. Bakersfield.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh boy. Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
By the way, for those of you who are listening
in Bakersfield, you know, if you know, I want to
tell you that I humbly apologize for do writing Bakersfield,
even though every word I say is true.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Okay, dude, how's your heart?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Otherwise, healthy people who are smoking pot or eating gummies
showed signs of early cardiovascular disease similar to tobacco smokers.
It's a small study, but it and it's also the
first looking at thhd's impact on vascular function in human
Of course, THHC is the part of marijuana that makes
(25:40):
you high. Prior research on mice found damage to blood
vessels that supply oxygen to vital organs after exposure to
marijuana smoke smoke. The guy who is leading the study
said a vascular function was reduced forty two percent in
marijuana smokers and fifty six percent for people eating the gun.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Mike's not here, man, No, I.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Have to tell you was the other way. Amy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It's if you do, you increase your chances of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And I don't.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Understand that scular function is reduced.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I see, smoking marijuana can have problems because you know
all that crap going in your lungs, although you know
how many people smoke twenty joints a day.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
But edibles that causes problems.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
So you're gonna die on Sunday if you smoke a pot,
and you're gonna die on Saturday if you eat a gummy.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Well there's food that causes cardiovasca.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
There you go, and here is the issue.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The research only shows an association, not causality. You know,
for example, people who go past McDonald's have a higher
incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Let's say, well it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Just some time as they do a study and they're
off and they happen to pass the McDonald and somehow
you connect the two. Well, not necessarily, and that's the case.
So it could be you just set a lot more
and that's what causes the increased fat and all.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
That correlation is not causation.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That's correct.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
That okay, Forward recalls nearly one point one million vehicles.
The rearview camera has some software issues causing the camera's
image to like delay or skip a little bit or
even freeze there in display. So the recall covers some
twenty twenty one through twenty twenty four models a year
Bronco F one P fifty Beautiful Truck, the Edge and
(27:40):
twenty twenty three through twenty twenty four Escaped. You know
a lot of these, so check you want to check
if you've got aford to see if you're in this category.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, who doesn't rely on the rear view cameras, and
it says, don't rely on the cameras. Come you know,
of course you rely on the cameras because if you
look back, it's all the blind spots.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Well yeah, but you now with a camera, he'll check
all your mirrors.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I don't Why don't I just look at the camera.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I know I've driven with you.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
That's correct, all right? I think we have one more.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Japan is not happy about people breaking with tradition. If
you go to a hospital in Japan, you might need
to see newborn babies named Nike or Pikachu or Pudding.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Well.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
The government is cracking down on the so called kira
kira names that means sparkly or shiny. They don't like
the sparkly shiny names for babies. New rules went into
effect Monday that will limit parents from giving their babies
names that are pronounced in unconventional ways.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
How do you do that? Who makes that decision?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Who someone wake up in the morning and say no,
I don't like that name even though the parents want
to name the kid that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Well, you did, you changed your sparkly name wolf? Well,
Wolf is not a sparkly names.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And that's the whole point that Japanese government is saying,
is that certain names will lead to bullying. Okay, which names, Well,
sparkly names, how about sparkly.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Just that name?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Don't you need to be cool? If if we called
Kno Wolfcono, it would be like a special agent named
Cono Wolfcono.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I just I don't understand it, but I can
I understand stopping the bullying.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay, we're done.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (29:25):

that he's wearing.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
If it's only it's a food chain issue. You understand,
you're new on the show. So whenever we bring someone.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Else who's new, h they get the grief.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And Neil, I mean, how often what do I do
to new people on the show or the station?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Make them cry?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's a hazing ritual that's illegal in most places.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
My uh when you know, I hadn't my surrogacy center,
it was I never knew anybody's name.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
What a shocker.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And it was always the new girl because it was
all females that worked for me, because we were in
fertility and talking to women about their uteri and endometriosis
and you know all kinds of stuff, you know, follicles
and all of that vast deference because there's a vast
difference between male and female.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And so it was always the new girl until we
had a new girl. Then it became the new girl,
and I had to know. I had to find out
what the old new girl's name was. So yeah, there's
a lot of grief there. Oh, okay, and Gorning, good
morning Bill, okay, and.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Cono good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, No, they're right, it's not terrible.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
It is not a good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Why isn't it a good morning because I started it?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
What?
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Because ConA broke the radio station?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I'm helping fix the radio station?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, you know if we have equipment there that actually
has the word Marconi company on it, that you know,
they just don't spend a lot of money on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, by the way, do they never mind?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I was going to go into the whole headset fiasco
where everybody has their own headsets. The station will provide headsets.
They buy them in bulk at eight dollars apiece, and
here you go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You can have.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Them all right inside Baseball?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
All right? What else is going on today?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
We're getting ready for June seventh, where we're going to
have the dinner at the Anaheim White House and five
people are going to join us, plus their guests and
the entire Morning crew. We are having dinner together Anaheim
White House. Put that one together, very high end, very delicious.
This is a seriously good This isn't your normal oKFI
(03:57):
here have a cheap mug kind event. It is for
real and so MEAs well. Here's how to do it.
We might as well open the show with that. We
want to know why you want to go or why
you should go. So during the course of the show,
you have three hours. You click onto you go to
the iHeartRadio app, click on the bill handle show microphone
(04:19):
in the upper right hand corner, click on that, and
then you have fifteen twenty seconds to give us the reasons.
We already have a few, Neil, when when do we start?
When do we actually start playing the ones that we

be fun, all of us together are going to do it,
all right, you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We have We have some news on.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
This Thursday morning, May twenty ninth. Let's start with Amy
Neil and me lead story. Well, the ongoing battle between
President Trump and everybody else in government in the non
executive branch part of government.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
The tariffs have been just ruled illegal or.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Most of the tariffs by the federal by a federal
judicial panel.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And this is the Court of.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
International Trade, the US Court of International Trade.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Which controls tariffs.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And the problem has been from the beginning, how far
can a president, in this case President Trump go in
determining arbitrarily what he wants, who he's going to tariff,
how much he's going to tariff, to what extent, how long?
And the court said, you know what, there are some
(05:55):
rules here. The president's position is that there are no rules.
The president has unbridled, unfettered power to tear if anybody
he wants, change it, increase it, decrease it, change it
three times a week, which seems to be happening, and
it's okay, we'll see if there are some guide rails here.
(06:17):
They also allowed some of it too, because it's very
specific as to how far the law allows a president
to go, and it's in there in the law. He says,
none of that matters. I am president, and I can
do whatever the hell I want. The pardon power, for example,
the pardon power is unfettered. He literally can pardon anybody.
(06:37):
He can pardon anybody who would turn around and take
top secrets and hand them to China. Not that he
ever would, of course, but it's just unbridled, not so
much the terriffs. So we'll talk a lot more about that. Well,
seven o'clock, I'm going to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Mister Musk is ejecting from the Trump administration. CEO Elon
Musk is leaving. His off boarding has begun, according to
the White House. He posted on x yesterday thanking President
Trump for his time as a special government employee with
the Department of Government Efficiency draws to an end. He added, No,
(07:24):
he didn't add, but somebody said that his departure would
was decided at a senior staff level. But he was
always scheduled to leave after one hundred and thirty days.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, about to hit that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And you knew that he were going to leave as
soon as he started getting more press than the president.
No one gets more press than the president, So you
knew he was on his way out. And what his
contention is, He was there to bring the deficit down,
to bring down the national debt, and this new budget
that President Trump is proposing or Congress is proposing in
(07:54):
President Trump they were having some fights about it too.
Is that it's going to increase the national debt by
trillions of dollars. And if you remember President Trump came
into office saying I Am going to decrease the debt.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, it's going to increase the debt.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And that's and Elon Musk is not very happy about that,
and it's making it known.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Stew one More Health and Humans Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
announced just on Tuesday that his agency will no longer
be recommending the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and
healthy children. Issue here is now you've got doctors coming
out and going, well, you know, pregnancy is one of
(08:44):
the concerns. It's one of the mitigating circumstances that they
recommend you should have the vaccine for because it can
cause problems. COVID can cause problems with pregnancy if the
pregnant woman should get it. So doctors are a little
pissed off about this, going against the very studies that
(09:07):
they've done.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, this is mainstream medicine says, this is not a
good decision. Pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine because
if they get COVID, it can be catastrophic. And of
course Robert Kennedy is not a big fan of COVID's
from a vaccines from day one. Matter of fact, he
has asked for testing to go on with all the
(09:31):
vaccines because they didn't do the double blind placebo tests
and he wants to go back and test everything, like
the polio vaccine. Let's go back and retest the polio
vaccine that came out in the fifties that has saved
tens of millions of people. He said, we didn't test
it enough. We have to go back and test it.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You are not going to do any test in a
lab that is going to do more than millions of
people taking the vaccine that we took during COVID. How
are you going to do a study is more than.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Because the argument, the argument is the danger of that
vaccine was not tested only the efficacy that it worked,
not the dangers. Because we know what vaccine does, just
ask Kennedy. It causes autism, It causes all kinds of problems.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
What causes two bdiyes too close together?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Like, well, that's another one. So yeah, it's it's tough, all.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Right, visas revoked. Secretary of St.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Marco Rubio says the US is going to begin revoking
visas for Chinese students. He said that it includes for those,
in his words, with connections to the Chinese Communist Party
or studying in critical fields. Chinese students make up are
about two hundred and seventy thousand of them in the US.
(10:50):
That's about a quarter of all the foreign students in
the US.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
On the one hand, I buy into the fact that
there is tremendous amount of espionage that's being stolen from
US industry, from people that work their spies that the
Chinese government puts into place just to steal technology. Whether
students do it or not, I don't know. And this
(11:16):
is pretty far reaching, making it very almost impossible. And
there's those are the number one group of foreign students,
particularly at California. And by the way, one of the
problems is, you know, they get tens of thousands of
these and they can't tell the applications apart.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You know, they all look exactly the same.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Okay, Taco trade Trump doesn't like it. President Trump has
bristled when he was asked about a New Wall Street
term based on his his tendency to put trades on
or tariffs on, take them off, threaten them, then say oh,
hold off. He says it was a nasty question that
he was asked about. A reporter asked Trump in the
(12:01):
Oval office about what was dubbed by a Financial Times
columnist as the Taco trade. It stands for Trump always
chickens out.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, he was not happy with that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Now I saw it.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
He was like, yeah, I haven't heard of that, and
that kind of went back and fired off a few
things of why he says he's not chickening.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Out right, And he says, listen, yeah, I go ahead
and I announce, and then I take back, and then
I announce and then I change it. And its negotiation
is what it is to get these people to the table,
because the reason the tariffs are going into place is, frankly,
our balance of trade is miserable. That we're importing many,
(12:42):
many more products than we're selling to various countries. It's
a lot more complicated than that, a lot more complicated
than that. But of course life is fairly simple in
the world of this administration. So he's saying, no, remember
that the economy was going to explode as soon as
he came into office literally day one, not quite and
(13:03):
there's a bunch of other things, So I think inherently,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Are we hearing you now?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You gotta love that term taco.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Though, I love it. I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So it's a lot more complicated life happens to be,
especially under this stuff, under what happens with the trade
and the depth sit I mean, his heart if he
wills in the right place, because he wants to bring businesses,
he wants to bring employment, he wants to bring factories
back to the United States. I don't think anybody can
argue that. But is it realistic? Yesterday I did a
(13:35):
story on he wants Apple all iPhones made in the
United States.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Impossible, impossible, and he.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Told Tim Cook, you either bring all of production here
and or I'm hitting you with a twenty five percent
tariff right now.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So anyway, is it taco? Is it burrito? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Feeling hot, hot hot, get ready for several years of
even more record breaking heat that will push the Earth
to more deadly, fiery, uncomfortable extremes. That is from the
World Meteorological Organization and the UK Meteorological Office they say
there's an eighty percent chance the world will break another
(14:19):
annual temperature record temperature record in the next five years.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
You know you're not hearing anymore that if we reduce
the emissions, carbon emissions, fossil fuel production and burning down dramatically,
it will help.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It may turn around, it'll stop climate change. It won't.
We've hit critical mass. We're done.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's here, and if we do nothing, if we bring
it down to zero, it's still here and it's going
to go on.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
The only issue is how fast is it going to
go at one hundred miles an hour or is it
going to go at.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Fifty miles an hour. So far, all of.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The predictions from the climatologists, the science to study this stuff,
it's moving far faster in terms of the world heating
up than anticipated.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
That has been reported. Not good news. I've said this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm happy that I'm not twenty years old and about
to live for the rest of my life watching what's
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I do not envy my daughters. I do not envy
their kids. I don't the.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Earth will be fine. Just to people on it won't be.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh yeah, the Earth is going to be very hot.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know, I've been through a bunch of things. It'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be very,
very tough. But you're right, will it Will it come back? Well,
it came back after the dinosaurs died and the big
meteor hit and after the ice age.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
But we have to live in there, or you have
to live in there, because I'm not going to the
Only thing is, you know, those of us are going
to get buried. If you're cremated, you're gonna heat up.
But if you're buried, if you're gonna get buried, you're
gonna cook in the ground anyway, So enjoy. It's like
one of those you know pigs that they the pork
they cook in Hawaii, you know, with the stones and
(16:01):
they put the pig in it and then they put
the banana leaves on it.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Really, that's what's going to happen to us if you
get buried. I just thought of that.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That's so, that's a world.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
There's a Now Now all I want is koloa pig
and eggs right now. All right, Bill, you've been complaining
and concerned about this as well. One of the concerns
is that some of these cuts are going to hit
scientific research. Sixteen states are suing Trump and his administration
rather over National Science Foundation directive. They're looking at these
(16:33):
and they're saying, this is going to gut the National
Science Foundation. You know, on one side, you've got people
in the Trump cap the MAGA type folks that are
saying that there's not enough research on vaccines. And then
on the other side they're cutting scientific research.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, they are going to cut and they are cutting
scientific research. This is not an administration that likes science,
that likes research, that like scientific breakthrough.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
It's all about politics. It's that simple.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
If whoever is a proponent a supporter, gets the kudos,
and if not done and it's tough. I mean, we're
talking about gutting programs that actually going to save people's lives.
The United States is going to come from the forefront
of this kind of research, which it has been. Again
(17:31):
I'm not an exceptionalist, but in many cases, the US
is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
As I've said many times, this is one of them.
This is one of the reasons. Well that's being cut
off at the knees.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Unfortunately, what country do you think is the best country
in terms of what to live in. I don't know.
It depends.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It depends on what your parameters are. It depends if
you're poor, any of the Scandinavian countries.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
If you're rich, the US is a great place to live.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If you want scientific endeavors, if you like research, the
United States. If you want a safety net, you go
to Finland. If you want a great education, a great
general education, you go to Norway. If you have kids,
So it depends on where and what and what are
the parameters. If you like great weather, you go to
(18:22):
San Diego. It's the best weather in the world. And
that's part of the United States. If you like guns, huh,
no issue on that one. If you want a country
that is neutral, where everybody is happy that they don't
get into politics, they don't go into wars, you know,
they're not part of all this, you go to Sweden.
(18:44):
You don't live in Iran, which is all about terrorism.
So you know why and what. You can't just say
the greatest country in the world. I mean you can,
but it's as it is. Life is more complicated than
just black and white. Race relations not so good here.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Tax if you liking if you like eating sand for dinner,
you go to Yemen.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm sorry, I could keep on going and going coladas
and getting caught in the rain. You go to the
Bahamas if you want to wear shorts and drink yourself silly.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Okay, Amy, Sorry, that's okay. Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Taxing the rich is not flying in the House. House
Republicans have rejected a push by some allys allies of
Trump to include hikes on the rich in the legislation
they passed last week. The measure excluded a millionaire's tax,
which Trump has said he was open to, and other
proposals to raise taxes on top earners. Of course, it
(19:51):
was pitched by Stephen Bannon, the president's first term chief strategist.
The Senate could make some changes to the Republicans in
the House are expected to say, no, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
This is interesting because this is kind intuitive. This is
the president wanting to tax the rich. Everybody above four
hundred thousand dollars is going to get taxed more, and
his GOP, the GOP stalwarts. You don't tax the rich
because the rich produced jobs, produced businesses, and you don't
want to stop that.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So President's playing a middle ground on this one. Interestingly enough, Okay.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Maybe to him, he doesn't think they're rich. He's like millionaires,
aren't they.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, that's true. Four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, that's middle class, not even middle class, lower middle class.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Was his threshold. Four hundred thousand.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
That was a that was a Biden thresholder there was.
I think it's like two and a half million, is
what Trump was saying.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I don't think so. I think the income has four
hundred thousand dollars. I think so. You can look that up.
It's a different tax.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But Biden was going to cut taxes and the four
hundred thousand dollars was going to be the threshold.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I do believe that's true.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Okay, you know how they have, you know, taxes for
everything nowadays they're adding everything. Now going to Hawaii going
to get bumped up a bit. There's going to be
a fee for travelers staying in hotels, short term vacation
rentals of course, and for the first time ever bill
cruise ships and it will be a nightly hotel rate
(21:28):
of three hundred bucks will be in So if you
go and you're paying three hundred bucks for a room,
it's going to be an extra two dollars and twenty
five cents each night, which means nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's just pennies, but except it adds. It's all cumulative.
You go to New York, it's twelve or thirteen percent
on top of everything else that you pay.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
This will be about eleven percent on a nightly lodging
rate at this point. But this is all supposed to
go to climate change. I don't know. I'm a little
cynical that this is that this money ever sees those
causes anymore than our streets.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, and I'm a little confused if you can tell
me climate change. Is that to stop climate change? Or
is it to create more climate change?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
No, it's four projects and environmental stage type stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Okay, got it? Got it?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Which out of all places?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I mean yeah, okay, it's it's not to create
more climate change.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
And yeah, they're actually raising a hot house. Yeah, they're
giving them beans and doing what they can.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Well said, we got suits and counter suits. Smokey Robinson
has filed a five hundred million dollars counter lawsuit against
four former employees who sued Smoky earlier this month for
fifty million dollars. They say that they were sexually battered, assaulted,
(22:55):
there was false imprivsonment involved.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
They say they were raped.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Smokey has denied all all the accusations, and in the countersuit,
he and his wife say his accusers defamed him at
a press conference, they say they treated their employees as
extended family, and then also provided photos and text messages
of the women spending holidays and vacations with them.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't know why it's not five hundred billion, gazillion
trillion dollars. These lawsuits are crazy. Trump going against CBS
twenty billion dollars. I mean, it's it's become kind of insane.
Although if he wins, you've got four former employees, so
they'll be responsible for what one hundred and twenty five
(23:38):
million dollars each.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
May take them a while to pay it back.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
There's now at the court a smoky and non smoky
Robinson's section.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Oh, very good, very good, all right.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Series of joint law enforcement operations launched by California Governor
gav He led to more than led them to more
and sixty seven hundred arrests, so nearly five thousand stolen
vehicles recovered hundreds of firearms seized across San Bernardino. Get
you all right, ConA, well what Bakersfield and Oakland officials
(24:14):
announced this there with great pride. Through these partnerships, they
aimed to reduce roadway violence, criminal activity in high crime areas.
A lot going on in Bakersfield. Three thousand three, one
hundred and fifteen arrests were made just there.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't understand how they got those numbers from Bakersfield,
because I don't know how they got anybody that admitted
they lived in Bakersfield, much less stole cars or the
victim of car theft.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Bakersfield is fine.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh yeah, Bakersfield is a delight four one of the
better cities.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, here it is.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Remember you asked why, you know why I think America,
why people think America is the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Here's the answer. Bakersfield.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh boy. Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
By the way, for those of you who are listening
in Bakersfield, you know, if you know, I want to
tell you that I humbly apologize for do writing Bakersfield,
even though every word I say is true.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Okay, dude, how's your heart?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Otherwise, healthy people who are smoking pot or eating gummies
showed signs of early cardiovascular disease similar to tobacco smokers.
It's a small study, but it and it's also the
first looking at thhd's impact on vascular function in human
Of course, THHC is the part of marijuana that makes
(25:40):
you high. Prior research on mice found damage to blood
vessels that supply oxygen to vital organs after exposure to
marijuana smoke smoke. The guy who is leading the study
said a vascular function was reduced forty two percent in
marijuana smokers and fifty six percent for people eating the gun.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Mike's not here, man, No, I.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Have to tell you was the other way. Amy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It's if you do, you increase your chances of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
And I don't.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Understand that scular function is reduced.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I see, smoking marijuana can have problems because you know
all that crap going in your lungs, although you know
how many people smoke twenty joints a day.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
But edibles that causes problems.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
So you're gonna die on Sunday if you smoke a pot,
and you're gonna die on Saturday if you eat a gummy.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Well there's food that causes cardiovasca.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
There you go, and here is the issue.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The research only shows an association, not causality. You know,
for example, people who go past McDonald's have a higher
incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Let's say, well it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Just some time as they do a study and they're
off and they happen to pass the McDonald and somehow
you connect the two. Well, not necessarily, and that's the case.
So it could be you just set a lot more
and that's what causes the increased fat and all.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
That correlation is not causation.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That's correct.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
That okay, Forward recalls nearly one point one million vehicles.
The rearview camera has some software issues causing the camera's
image to like delay or skip a little bit or
even freeze there in display. So the recall covers some
twenty twenty one through twenty twenty four models a year
Bronco F one P fifty Beautiful Truck, the Edge and
(27:40):
twenty twenty three through twenty twenty four Escaped. You know
a lot of these, so check you want to check
if you've got aford to see if you're in this category.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, who doesn't rely on the rear view cameras, and
it says, don't rely on the cameras. Come you know,
of course you rely on the cameras because if you
look back, it's all the blind spots.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Well yeah, but you now with a camera, he'll check
all your mirrors.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I don't Why don't I just look at the camera.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I know I've driven with you.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
That's correct, all right? I think we have one more.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Japan is not happy about people breaking with tradition. If
you go to a hospital in Japan, you might need
to see newborn babies named Nike or Pikachu or Pudding.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Well.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
The government is cracking down on the so called kira
kira names that means sparkly or shiny. They don't like
the sparkly shiny names for babies. New rules went into
effect Monday that will limit parents from giving their babies
names that are pronounced in unconventional ways.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
How do you do that? Who makes that decision?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Who someone wake up in the morning and say no,
I don't like that name even though the parents want
to name the kid that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Well, you did, you changed your sparkly name wolf? Well,
Wolf is not a sparkly names.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And that's the whole point that Japanese government is saying,
is that certain names will lead to bullying. Okay, which names, Well,
sparkly names, how about sparkly.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Just that name?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Don't you need to be cool? If if we called
Kno Wolfcono, it would be like a special agent named
Cono Wolfcono.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I just I don't understand it, but I can
I understand stopping the bullying.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay, we're done.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Guys.
