Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh, And I.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Will go around the go around the group and see
what quiet cracking is. I first guessed it was crack cocaine,
and it turned out to be very quietly done at work.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It is not crack cocaine. It is something else. All Right, guys,
it's that kind of morning.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You sounds so tired already.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, it's been a rough Uh, it's been a rough weekend,
you know what. I'm working out now. I'm back to
working out and walking after my foot surgery. And uh,
Friday it was muggy as hell, and I did an
hour of solid, brisk walking and when I walk, I
(04:59):
go up a hill pretty far. And then I went
and worked out for a solid hour and I was gone,
just wiped out.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You know, I'm one hundred and forty years old.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I'm completely out of shape, and I just don't know
how to do that? You know, it just kills me.
You know this exercise will do? You know what exercise is,
by the.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Way, Wow, it's when you move your body and.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You try to get a little bit more fit. Like
my chair dancing, like your chair dancing. Yeah, that's what
they do at old people's homes. They because they can't
get up, and they dance in their chairs. They exercising
their chairs. All right, let me get the list here.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
It is National Junk Food Day today though, so really
you do want to skip out on your workout.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
It is a national holiday Junk Food Day.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, every day is National Junk Food Day. And it's
much like fire season. Fire season is with us every
day all day long, as is National Junk Food Day.
Or I'm going to celebrate National Junk Food Day as
I did yesterday, as I'll do tomorrow, and I.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Will keep on going National Junk Food Day. I love that. Okay, guys,
ready to do some news.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Let's do the news.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's do some news and get started in a way
that we should be. All right, here we go lead
story mask mask. The chief of ICE, the US Immigration
and Customer Enforcement said yesterday he will continue to allow
the practice of his officers wearing masks over their faces
(06:30):
during the arrests. Todd lyons he was interviewed on Face
the Nation and was asked about it, and he said, yeah,
I'm not a proponent of the masks. However, if that's
the tool that men and women of ice use to
keep themselves and their family safe, and I will allow it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's fairly controversial because.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I'll buy this, is that the identity of police officers,
particularly they do the arrests today, in this day and
age of computers and internet and facial recognition.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I don't know how people have facial recognition at home.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If you can buy a program that does that, then
instantly you know the cops, name the address where.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
The kids go to school, it is. It can be
pretty dangerous.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And with the masks, even though it's sort of secret policage, policeage,
I can see both sides of the coin.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Also, it's really easy to wear.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
A mask and rob a bank and you don't have
to get to take the mask off, you know, go
right next to it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So he's I got to tell you, he's I think
he's right on.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm uncomfortable with it, but it is a question of
the safety of the agents, and I'll buy that instantly.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
This is why cops aren't being cops anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
One of the fears is that they and their families
are at risk.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So you've got to see them continue on. Now.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The number of the ICE agents that are at these
demonstrations and the way they're acting in terms of how
aggressive they are and going after illegal migrants in the
fields and at home depots, that's a different story.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
We have heard local lawmakers at the municipal and the
state level try to get some type of policy passed
where it would ban those masks, but I don't know
that that will hold up. All right, Story number two,
let's go to the Middle East. Things continue to be bleak.
Ninety four Palestinians killed by Israeli military fire across Gaza
yesterday as they were trying to get food. According to
(08:37):
local health authorities and hospital morgue officials, this situation just
seems to continue to be more dire.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, as pro Israeli as I am, and there's very
few people out there that ares pro Israel as I am.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
For obvious reasons. What Israel is doing, I do believe.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is a straight out war crime, crime against humanity, straight out.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
There's no issue in my mind. Is it genocide? I
don't think so. Genocide is the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Purposeful attempt to wipe out or cleanse an area. Now
there are settlers in the West Bank that are doing
exactly that.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They want to get rid of.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
All of the Palestinians, not necessarily kill them, like what
happened during the course of World War two with the
Nazis and in nineteen fifteen the Turks with the Armenians,
which very few people know about.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But it is war crimes.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Is there people trying to get food and the United
United States or Israel is not letting them have access
to food, and when they do they are killed, they
are attacked. Israel Is saying, oh no, these are dangerous situations.
Israeli forces are only defending themselves. That is a croc
(09:53):
Too many Palestinians have died under two horrific circumstances. Nettignao,
who has already been labeled the war crime.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, there's a warrant for his arrest by the way,
with the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, and
he should be tried.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's genuinely crimes against humanity. What Israel is doing, it
is and Israel just spins it, just spins it. Fifty
eight thousand Palaes Indians have died. Now, Kamas, they do
not differentiate between the militants and the population. But when
(10:30):
Hamas says half of the people are children and women,
they have to be what only militants.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Are out there? There have been fifty eight a thousand
militants killed and no civilians.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just horrific, just horrific. All right.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah, so it looks like the number of people that
were thought to have been missing in those floods out
of Texas it's been revived.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So I'm not sure if this is good news or not.
I mean, it's like it is good news? Is this?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
There's not as many people missing as they thought. Right
when I first heard this, I thought, does that mean
they found people and now that's why the list is lowered.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But no, but they're not saying that. Yeah, they're saying
that they have found them and they are safe. Do
you wonder how long ago was this? It was three
weeks ago, two, three weeks ago, and now they're finding
people that they're accounted for and they were missing three
weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I have to assume, and this is an assumption that
this it's not as dramatic as the folks who were
like in the tree as the river was going, that
these are just people who may not have been stranded
out somewhere but maybe just didn't check in.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They were.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
They were put on a list as missing, but we're
we're living somewhere, maybe somewhat happily.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, and I guess there was no follow up.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean, obviously you know the people that, as you say,
were hanging in trees basically like Christmas ornaments. It was
horrible that they were finding people and this now it's
three are missing, and they may find those three because
they may they live in these little tiny hamlets where
they're fine. That even though the authorities were doing what
(12:06):
they were doing.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, let's hope. And our next story is about Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Michael, let me okay, Michael, here's the way this works. Okay,
because you're so used to this, we don't have to say.
And our next story is what we do is dive
right into it. I occasionally say okay, and then what
that means is we jump in. But we want to
make this as seamless as we can as quickly as
we can. We want to zip through this, and this
(12:35):
is the way it goes under by the way, you're
not used.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
To this, I understand. Is this the first time you're
filling in for Amy?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
No, I'm just curious. When does the zipping through start.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Well, you sort of have to read it. You have
to read the room.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, So how about this when I say, okay, that's
one of the buzzwords, or Michael, that's one of the buzzwords.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Okay, I am.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Allowed to say okay, you are not. My apologies as well,
you should okay.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Trump's polling numbers have dropped, according to a new survey.
Support for his immigration policies specifically have fallen in this poll,
which is strange, Bill, because that is in spite of
everything else, that has been the area where he has
remained the most popular. So he is seeing some decline
even in his top issue, which was immigration enforcement.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And the amount of money as he's cutting everything else.
We're going to talk a little bit about that later on,
in terms of health services, cutting big time, immigration, anti immigration,
not the forces that he's using for anti immigration is exploding,
and you know what, people see what's going on. I mean,
when you see these poor guys running across strawberry fields
(13:53):
and being chased by immigration officers. You know MS thirteen
who isn't one of the assembly men who said he
knows very few MS thirteen members who wake up at
two thirty in the morning to pick strawberries. That's just
not something these gang guys do.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So yeah, oh, how.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
About this, Oh, since you can see me right, yeah, okay,
I will flip my finger at you.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I will give you a flit and that means we
move on.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Do you am I reading all the headlines? Is it
just me doing?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yes? You you are any of them?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I don't miss you?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Okayeah, I'm normally No, normally you read half of them.
Thank you, and good job explained that.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, yes, you read all the headlines. Usually it's split
up between Amy and Neil, neither.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Of which is here.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah. Always very interesting, of course, have you said?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, I am not, but are you going to No? No,
I'm doing the flit at you. I'm pointing my finger.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right there.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
It is former Sheriff Alex being a way of a
once is old job back bill. He has filed a
run in the twenty twenty six sheriffs race. Now, keep
in mind he lost his re election vid the current sheriff,
Robert Luna, and then he ran for the Board of
Supervisors and pretty much got his butt wolofed by Supervisor
Janis Hahn in that race. So is there an appetite
(15:13):
for Alex being the way of his return, No, there
is not.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
He is going to get creamed, is what he's going
to is what's going to happen. He left the sheriff's department.
He left the head of the sheriff's department under some
circumstances where he got nailed. There was all kinds of
problems with the sheriff's department, those alleged gangs within the court,
within the well, I guess the jail system. And there
(15:39):
is no chance. This job is basically a lifetime appointment.
Once you're elected sheriff. It is really hard to unelect someone.
There has to be some real extenuating circum dances, and
that happened. He is going to be Richard Nixon running
for governor after he lost the presidential race against jfk
(16:02):
ran against Pat Brown for governor in nineteen sixty two,
wiped out and that's what's going to happen to Vielinuava.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
That's where we got you can't kick around Nixon And yeah, yes,
exactly where you got it exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
This story is crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
This this guy got pulled into an MRI machine because
he was wearing a big metal chain. And this is
something that maybe not everybody knows. We know what an
MRI is, but there's a big magnet in there. This
happened in New York. This guy was wearing a large
metallic chain around his neck. It caused him to be
drawn into this machine, according to the Nassau County Police Department,
(16:39):
and this was at an open MRI medical facility in Westbury,
New York. The sixty one year old guy was not
supposed to be in this room while a scan was
in progress. And now we know why, why would someone
get in there?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And how did he get in there? But what a
lot of people don't realize MRI is magnetic.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What is it? Residence?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So whatever it is, but the magnet force of this
thing is so enormous.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
And they're very careful.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
To say do you have any metal, they have any
rings on watches, do you have anything in your body?
And usually its titanium, because they rarely put in, you know,
parts of your body out of wrought iron, you know,
when they're putting in artificial hips, et cetera. But man,
the power of these things a story or can you
imagine you're thrown across I'm surprised it didn't decapitate him.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's that kind of force. What's he doing in there?
What else are you doing in there?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
What he does? So what I read was that his
wife was having the MRI and she was trying to
sit up, and she called for her husband in the
other room, and he came in. But for some reason,
he was worrying a twenty pound gold shain. Are they
shooting a rap.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Video in there? So he's an Iranian rapper?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I was like, twenty pounds?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Well, President Trump had something to say about football yesterday.
He's calling for the Washington Commanders to change their name
back to the Redskins, wish many people, including the organization itself,
determined was racist. He also, at the same time called
for the Cleveland baseball team to return its mascot to
(18:19):
the Indians.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I'm going to do with this story coming up at
seven point thirty, But The fun part of this story
is he's threatening to withhold federal funding or to have
the federal government involved. I don't know if the Feds
have anything to do with the stadium.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's a local issue.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And by the way, they haven't done that. You went,
you didn't see the full story. It's not they wants
the name just back just to the Redskins. He wants
the drunken Redskins.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Gosh, is that racist? No, you see how that works.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's and he says, oh, the Indian Nations locked this back.
They're clamoring to go back to the Redskins. You know,
his sense of reality is beyond my understanding.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Let's go to the skies.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Now, a pilot for a regional plane serving Delta. He's
flying for sky West serving Delta. So they're flying and
suddenly a B fifty two bomber comes into the path,
and so they're getting messages the pilot of the sky
West plane, Hey, uh, you should probably change your path
(19:33):
a little bit. And so we had to do this
very aggressive maneuver. And I saw some reports from the
plane from passengers that say everybody was very calm. They
were all kind of looking around at each other, but
nobody was panicking while this aggressive maneuver to basically get
into the back of this B fifty two and avoid
(19:53):
a mid air collision. Everyone was calm despite the fact
that that could have been the end.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, I know, wonder how aggressive that was because the
term is aggressive. Now, if this was Los Angeles, the
Bee fifty twos would have already started dropping the bombs,
so they would have been a lot lighter. But it's
it's Minott Air Force Base. And I said, where is that.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
That's North Dakota or Minnesota. O.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, they were playing out of Minnesota, and I think
it had too North Dakota or maybe Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah, min North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Any the Mbrayer E one seventy five. You know what
that's made?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
By the way, any idea where it's made in Brazil?
It's made in Spallo. Yeah, it's a regional jet and
Embraer is one of the world's leading manufacturers of regional
jets out there and people don't know that.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Wow, there it is. All right, let's hear from this
Idaho killer. I know that this was a captivating story
because why did this man break into a home in
Idaho and murder for college students. He has pleaded guilty.
(21:01):
This guy, Brian Kohlberger. He's expected to serve life in
prison for the murder of these four people, and he's
going to be sentenced, but the families are going to
face off with him.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
First.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Bill, Yeah, the victim impact statements, which you are now
very common. The judges held put aside a full day
for his sentencing, and usually the sentencing of any criminal
takes just a few minutes, and he the judges leaving
all day, and there's some controversy within the family because
(21:35):
he could have gotten the death penalty. And what he
did is he pled guilty to all of these counts
of murder. So he'll be doing four life sentences. I'm
assuming they'll be consecutive life sentences plus ten years for burglary.
So he's in jail for four lifetimes. So he dies
and then he's in jail for another lifetime, and then
he dies, and then he'll be in jail for another lifetime.
(21:57):
So he's not seeing the outside of a jail cell
ever again. But the family's going, you know, hey, we
wanted to put to death, and the other family members
said okay, and there's closure. You're going to hear some
really heart wrenching statements made by family members.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Bill, I'm not sure when the last time you partied
in East Hollywood was, but it was last night.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It was fortunate that you weren't there earlier.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
In the week. I do a lot of party in
East Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yes, apparently there was a guy who was at the
Vermont Hollywood nightclub calls the little trouble inside, was asked
to leave, tried to come back, was told no, and
then came back again, only this time he was driving
and plowed into a crowd full of people injuring tons,
some critically, and somebody in that crowd shot this guy.
(22:47):
So now we're learning more about the driver, Fernando Ramirez,
who apparently has a long rap sheet, and police are
looking for the guy who shot him. Crazy scene, Bill, Yeah,
what a shocker that he was only shot by one guy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
East LA Nightclub. Yeah, you wouldn't see half the people armed,
would you.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
If that's the East Hollywood. How close is that to
your Star?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You know, it's pretty close, pretty close.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Although they have to move the tents because homeless people
live on the Star. They have to move the tents
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
In real estate.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No, it is not. A lot of people do not
understand that it's location, location, location, even with the stars.
And I'm surprised, and I guess in a very good way.
I don't hear of anybody having died, even though he
plowed into them.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
They were just injured critically, some of them apparently critically.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So these were serious injuries, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Critical doesn't really matter when it's very serious. It's life
threatening or grave is what they use. But as soon
as you go into the hospital, you're critical almost almost
under any circumstances, and the next day you're stable. So
they're not saying any life threat reatening in injuries, which
is good news, it really is, especially when you're talking
(24:04):
about going in and just literally going into a crowd.
Guy has some anger issues, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
He's got a history of doing crime, and then to
have apparently caused some trouble in the club already trying
to go back a couple of times to plow into
a crowd of people though that I mean that could
have killed people. Yeah, the point in a prison for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, all right, Well, I don't know how long he's
gonna be in prison, gonna be in there for decades,
to say the least, because they got to charge him,
probably with one count per and there's what fourteen to
fifteen people there, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
The Trump administration has imposed new restrictions on flights from
Mayhico and threatened to end a long standing partnership between
Delta and Arrow Mayhico in response to limits the Mexican
government placed on passenger and cargo flights into Mexico City
several years ago. Now, well, this bill seems to be
(25:03):
yet another moving piece in the constantly moving threshold of
when we have tariffs, when we don't, what's our trade policy?
Who are our friends? It's getting really hard to keep
up with that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, you know, look at the story here.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If this is true, is that Mexico a bunch of
years ago stopped, in this case Delta Airlines from flying
into the international airport right near the city and instead
the newer airport thirty miles away. And people want to
be near the city when they land. And if this
(25:38):
is true, I mean there's no reason to think it
is not. What Mexico did is they made it a
huge advantage to take Mexican airlines because you're not having
to drive thirty miles, which is usually a forty five
or a minute or one hour trip in.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
And you know, Trump is right on that.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He goes, you can't do that, and the Bible administration
said it was fine. I think it happened during the
Biden administration, maybe during the Obama administration say that's enough
of that.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
You know, we're I'm done. You got to treat us
the same way you do other airlives.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think he's right, you know, there is some validity
when he says we are being treated badly by many countries,
not only internationally, not only in terms of policy nationally,
but also in terms of private enterprise.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like this one.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Let's go to Boston. The story, it just won't go away.
These two people tech executives, won the CEO, won the
head of human resources, allegedly having an affair with each other.
They hit up a Coldplay concert in Boston when all
of a sudden, the kiss cam lands on them. They
(26:50):
duck away, embarrassed, and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin kind
of calls it out and says, I don't know what
they're embarrassed about. Maybe they're having an affair. They've been
the talk of the internet ever since. Now that guy's
not even working as the CEO anymore at this big company,
and I bet their personal lives are in shambles too.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Have you seen this bill?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
What?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah? Of course, what else could it be other than
an affair?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
If he is there as let's say he's there with
his girlfriend, he's there with his wife or whatever, and
there's quote legitimacy to it, and that's in quotes, and
of course he may be embarrassed, But why does he
resign as CEO of the company he's at. It's out
to because a resignation can be that embarrassing just because
(27:35):
he's hugging his girlfriend slash girlfriend. There's no other way
of looking at it.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I think you have to wonder this had even gotten
the attention of his board of directors, had it not
blown up all over the world.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, I mean it just like the affair heard around
the world.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I mean, I don't get it now. Obviously if she
was on her knees, that would be very different.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
But it's praying, of course, pray, of course, praying, completely
different interpretation exactly. Moving on, we have a lot of
stories from the skies today, the skies have not been
so friendly. A Delta flight had to make an emergency
landing right here at LAX after one of its engines
caught fire on Friday afternoon. It happened while the Delta
(28:22):
flight was climbing during takeoff. The aircraft was headed to
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. At the time, it seems
every day, Bill, you turn on the news, listen to us,
and it's another aviation situation.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, that's a third one.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, yeah, let me ask this one. Are the number
of these incidents climbing or is this the reporting of
these incidents? And is it Delta airlines that seem to
be the majority of these issues.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, we have fewer airlines than we used to have,
so I think even that one that we talked about
earlier with the the B fifty two bomber and the
Delta flight that had to reroute itself and a haze
fashion that technically that guy was flying for sky West,
but it's branded as Delta, So maybe we're throwing around
the word Delta and it could be some regional carrier.
But nonetheless, it does seem like we were having a
(29:10):
lot more of these and it's also become political, right.
I mean, it seems like a democratic administration would want
to blame the previous administration for whatever they did to
the FAA's navigation systems. We're certainly hearing that from Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy under President Trump blaming you know, beat
Buddha Judge and the Biden administration his predecessor there.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But the Biden.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Administration is being blamed by the Trump administration administration for everything,
including the kidnap and murder of the Lindberg baby. I mean,
it has not stopped.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I'll tell you what's not stopping.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
The the col exit, as they call it, people leaving California.
And you know things might be going poorly when the
owner of one of the most iconic businesses in the
entire state, in and Out says we're leaving too, the
company's headquarters. We already knew part of that was moving
to Tennessee. But Lindsay Snyder says her family's going with it.
That it's too tough to do business in California, but
(30:09):
it's also tough to raise a family here.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Bill not unusual.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Unfortunately, a lot of businesses are leaving California because it is.
It is tough as nails to be in California for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Okay, one more and then we'll bail out of here.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
What is this?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
There was a plan to kill four hundred and fifty
thousand owls, all as part of an effort to save
a different owl. But apparently there's this unusual alliance of
Republican lawmakers and animal right advocates, not usual bedfellows.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
They've come together with others to stop this plan. Looks like, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You can't cull. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
If it's totally the species is totally invasive and they
kill everything in their path, you simply can't cull.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's like this spotted owl, you.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Know, I mean in danger. You can't do anything to it.
And do you know how good tasting spotted owl is.
How it's phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's absolutely delicious.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
I'd like to try that sometime.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yes, except you go to prison for twenty years when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
That's the problem. Okay, we're done, guys.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
All right, this is KFI AM six forty. You've been

Actually, what we should do is when it comes to

and it's called quiet cracking.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh, And I.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Will go around the go around the group and see
what quiet cracking is. I first guessed it was crack cocaine,
and it turned out to be very quietly done at work.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It is not crack cocaine. It is something else. All Right, guys,
it's that kind of morning.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You sounds so tired already.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, it's been a rough Uh, it's been a rough weekend,
you know what. I'm working out now. I'm back to
working out and walking after my foot surgery. And uh,
Friday it was muggy as hell, and I did an
hour of solid, brisk walking and when I walk, I
(04:59):
go up a hill pretty far. And then I went
and worked out for a solid hour and I was gone,
just wiped out.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You know, I'm one hundred and forty years old.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I'm completely out of shape, and I just don't know
how to do that? You know, it just kills me.
You know this exercise will do? You know what exercise is,
by the.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Way, Wow, it's when you move your body and.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You try to get a little bit more fit. Like
my chair dancing, like your chair dancing. Yeah, that's what
they do at old people's homes. They because they can't
get up, and they dance in their chairs. They exercising
their chairs. All right, let me get the list here.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
It is National Junk Food Day today though, so really
you do want to skip out on your workout.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
It is a national holiday Junk Food Day.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, every day is National Junk Food Day. And it's
much like fire season. Fire season is with us every
day all day long, as is National Junk Food Day.
Or I'm going to celebrate National Junk Food Day as
I did yesterday, as I'll do tomorrow, and I.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Will keep on going National Junk Food Day. I love that. Okay, guys,
ready to do some news.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Let's do the news.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's do some news and get started in a way
that we should be. All right, here we go lead
story mask mask. The chief of ICE, the US Immigration
and Customer Enforcement said yesterday he will continue to allow
the practice of his officers wearing masks over their faces
(06:30):
during the arrests. Todd lyons he was interviewed on Face
the Nation and was asked about it, and he said, yeah,
I'm not a proponent of the masks. However, if that's
the tool that men and women of ice use to
keep themselves and their family safe, and I will allow it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's fairly controversial because.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I'll buy this, is that the identity of police officers,
particularly they do the arrests today, in this day and
age of computers and internet and facial recognition.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I don't know how people have facial recognition at home.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
If you can buy a program that does that, then
instantly you know the cops, name the address where.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
The kids go to school, it is. It can be
pretty dangerous.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And with the masks, even though it's sort of secret policage, policeage,
I can see both sides of the coin.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Also, it's really easy to wear.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
A mask and rob a bank and you don't have
to get to take the mask off, you know, go
right next to it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So he's I got to tell you, he's I think
he's right on.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm uncomfortable with it, but it is a question of
the safety of the agents, and I'll buy that instantly.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
This is why cops aren't being cops anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
One of the fears is that they and their families
are at risk.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So you've got to see them continue on. Now.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The number of the ICE agents that are at these
demonstrations and the way they're acting in terms of how
aggressive they are and going after illegal migrants in the
fields and at home depots, that's a different story.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
We have heard local lawmakers at the municipal and the
state level try to get some type of policy passed
where it would ban those masks, but I don't know
that that will hold up. All right, Story number two,
let's go to the Middle East. Things continue to be bleak.
Ninety four Palestinians killed by Israeli military fire across Gaza
yesterday as they were trying to get food. According to
(08:37):
local health authorities and hospital morgue officials, this situation just
seems to continue to be more dire.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, as pro Israeli as I am, and there's very
few people out there that ares pro Israel as I am.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
For obvious reasons. What Israel is doing, I do believe.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is a straight out war crime, crime against humanity, straight out.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
There's no issue in my mind. Is it genocide? I
don't think so. Genocide is the.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Purposeful attempt to wipe out or cleanse an area. Now
there are settlers in the West Bank that are doing
exactly that.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They want to get rid of.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
All of the Palestinians, not necessarily kill them, like what
happened during the course of World War two with the
Nazis and in nineteen fifteen the Turks with the Armenians,
which very few people know about.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But it is war crimes.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Is there people trying to get food and the United
United States or Israel is not letting them have access
to food, and when they do they are killed, they
are attacked. Israel Is saying, oh no, these are dangerous situations.
Israeli forces are only defending themselves. That is a croc
(09:53):
Too many Palestinians have died under two horrific circumstances. Nettignao,
who has already been labeled the war crime.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, there's a warrant for his arrest by the way,
with the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, and
he should be tried.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's genuinely crimes against humanity. What Israel is doing, it
is and Israel just spins it, just spins it. Fifty
eight thousand Palaes Indians have died. Now, Kamas, they do
not differentiate between the militants and the population. But when
(10:30):
Hamas says half of the people are children and women,
they have to be what only militants.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Are out there? There have been fifty eight a thousand
militants killed and no civilians.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just horrific, just horrific. All right.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah, so it looks like the number of people that
were thought to have been missing in those floods out
of Texas it's been revived.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So I'm not sure if this is good news or not.
I mean, it's like it is good news? Is this?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
There's not as many people missing as they thought. Right
when I first heard this, I thought, does that mean
they found people and now that's why the list is lowered.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But no, but they're not saying that. Yeah, they're saying
that they have found them and they are safe. Do
you wonder how long ago was this? It was three
weeks ago, two, three weeks ago, and now they're finding
people that they're accounted for and they were missing three
weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I have to assume, and this is an assumption that
this it's not as dramatic as the folks who were
like in the tree as the river was going, that
these are just people who may not have been stranded
out somewhere but maybe just didn't check in.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They were.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
They were put on a list as missing, but we're
we're living somewhere, maybe somewhat happily.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, and I guess there was no follow up.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean, obviously you know the people that, as you say,
were hanging in trees basically like Christmas ornaments. It was
horrible that they were finding people and this now it's
three are missing, and they may find those three because
they may they live in these little tiny hamlets where
they're fine. That even though the authorities were doing what
(12:06):
they were doing.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, let's hope. And our next story is about Trump.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Michael, let me okay, Michael, here's the way this works. Okay,
because you're so used to this, we don't have to say.
And our next story is what we do is dive
right into it. I occasionally say okay, and then what
that means is we jump in. But we want to
make this as seamless as we can as quickly as
we can. We want to zip through this, and this
(12:35):
is the way it goes under by the way, you're
not used.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
To this, I understand. Is this the first time you're
filling in for Amy?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
No, I'm just curious. When does the zipping through start.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Well, you sort of have to read it. You have
to read the room.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, So how about this when I say, okay, that's
one of the buzzwords, or Michael, that's one of the buzzwords.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Okay, I am.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Allowed to say okay, you are not. My apologies as well,
you should okay.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Trump's polling numbers have dropped, according to a new survey.
Support for his immigration policies specifically have fallen in this poll,
which is strange, Bill, because that is in spite of
everything else, that has been the area where he has
remained the most popular. So he is seeing some decline
even in his top issue, which was immigration enforcement.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And the amount of money as he's cutting everything else.
We're going to talk a little bit about that later on,
in terms of health services, cutting big time, immigration, anti immigration,
not the forces that he's using for anti immigration is exploding,
and you know what, people see what's going on. I mean,
when you see these poor guys running across strawberry fields
(13:53):
and being chased by immigration officers. You know MS thirteen
who isn't one of the assembly men who said he
knows very few MS thirteen members who wake up at
two thirty in the morning to pick strawberries. That's just
not something these gang guys do.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So yeah, oh, how.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
About this, Oh, since you can see me right, yeah, okay,
I will flip my finger at you.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I will give you a flit and that means we
move on.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Do you am I reading all the headlines? Is it
just me doing?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yes? You you are any of them?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I don't miss you?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Okayeah, I'm normally No, normally you read half of them.
Thank you, and good job explained that.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, yes, you read all the headlines. Usually it's split
up between Amy and Neil, neither.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Of which is here.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah. Always very interesting, of course, have you said?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, I am not, but are you going to No? No,
I'm doing the flit at you. I'm pointing my finger.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right there.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
It is former Sheriff Alex being a way of a
once is old job back bill. He has filed a
run in the twenty twenty six sheriffs race. Now, keep
in mind he lost his re election vid the current sheriff,
Robert Luna, and then he ran for the Board of
Supervisors and pretty much got his butt wolofed by Supervisor
Janis Hahn in that race. So is there an appetite
(15:13):
for Alex being the way of his return, No, there
is not.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
He is going to get creamed, is what he's going
to is what's going to happen. He left the sheriff's department.
He left the head of the sheriff's department under some
circumstances where he got nailed. There was all kinds of
problems with the sheriff's department, those alleged gangs within the court,
within the well, I guess the jail system. And there
(15:39):
is no chance. This job is basically a lifetime appointment.
Once you're elected sheriff. It is really hard to unelect someone.
There has to be some real extenuating circum dances, and
that happened. He is going to be Richard Nixon running
for governor after he lost the presidential race against jfk
(16:02):
ran against Pat Brown for governor in nineteen sixty two,
wiped out and that's what's going to happen to Vielinuava.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
That's where we got you can't kick around Nixon And yeah, yes,
exactly where you got it exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
This story is crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
This this guy got pulled into an MRI machine because
he was wearing a big metal chain. And this is
something that maybe not everybody knows. We know what an
MRI is, but there's a big magnet in there. This
happened in New York. This guy was wearing a large
metallic chain around his neck. It caused him to be
drawn into this machine, according to the Nassau County Police Department,
(16:39):
and this was at an open MRI medical facility in Westbury,
New York. The sixty one year old guy was not
supposed to be in this room while a scan was
in progress. And now we know why, why would someone
get in there?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And how did he get in there? But what a
lot of people don't realize MRI is magnetic.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What is it? Residence?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So whatever it is, but the magnet force of this
thing is so enormous.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
And they're very careful.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
To say do you have any metal, they have any
rings on watches, do you have anything in your body?
And usually its titanium, because they rarely put in, you know,
parts of your body out of wrought iron, you know,
when they're putting in artificial hips, et cetera. But man,
the power of these things a story or can you
imagine you're thrown across I'm surprised it didn't decapitate him.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's that kind of force. What's he doing in there?
What else are you doing in there?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
What he does? So what I read was that his
wife was having the MRI and she was trying to
sit up, and she called for her husband in the
other room, and he came in. But for some reason,
he was worrying a twenty pound gold shain. Are they
shooting a rap.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Video in there? So he's an Iranian rapper?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I was like, twenty pounds?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Well, President Trump had something to say about football yesterday.
He's calling for the Washington Commanders to change their name
back to the Redskins, wish many people, including the organization itself,
determined was racist. He also, at the same time called
for the Cleveland baseball team to return its mascot to
(18:19):
the Indians.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I'm going to do with this story coming up at
seven point thirty, But The fun part of this story
is he's threatening to withhold federal funding or to have
the federal government involved. I don't know if the Feds
have anything to do with the stadium.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's a local issue.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And by the way, they haven't done that. You went,
you didn't see the full story. It's not they wants
the name just back just to the Redskins. He wants
the drunken Redskins.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Gosh, is that racist? No, you see how that works.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's and he says, oh, the Indian Nations locked this back.
They're clamoring to go back to the Redskins. You know,
his sense of reality is beyond my understanding.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Let's go to the skies.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Now, a pilot for a regional plane serving Delta. He's
flying for sky West serving Delta. So they're flying and
suddenly a B fifty two bomber comes into the path,
and so they're getting messages the pilot of the sky
West plane, Hey, uh, you should probably change your path
(19:33):
a little bit. And so we had to do this
very aggressive maneuver. And I saw some reports from the
plane from passengers that say everybody was very calm. They
were all kind of looking around at each other, but
nobody was panicking while this aggressive maneuver to basically get
into the back of this B fifty two and avoid
(19:53):
a mid air collision. Everyone was calm despite the fact
that that could have been the end.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, I know, wonder how aggressive that was because the
term is aggressive. Now, if this was Los Angeles, the
Bee fifty twos would have already started dropping the bombs,
so they would have been a lot lighter. But it's
it's Minott Air Force Base. And I said, where is that.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
That's North Dakota or Minnesota. O.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, they were playing out of Minnesota, and I think
it had too North Dakota or maybe Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah, min North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Any the Mbrayer E one seventy five. You know what
that's made?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
By the way, any idea where it's made in Brazil?
It's made in Spallo. Yeah, it's a regional jet and
Embraer is one of the world's leading manufacturers of regional
jets out there and people don't know that.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Wow, there it is. All right, let's hear from this
Idaho killer. I know that this was a captivating story
because why did this man break into a home in
Idaho and murder for college students. He has pleaded guilty.
(21:01):
This guy, Brian Kohlberger. He's expected to serve life in
prison for the murder of these four people, and he's
going to be sentenced, but the families are going to
face off with him.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
First.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Bill, Yeah, the victim impact statements, which you are now
very common. The judges held put aside a full day
for his sentencing, and usually the sentencing of any criminal
takes just a few minutes, and he the judges leaving
all day, and there's some controversy within the family because
(21:35):
he could have gotten the death penalty. And what he
did is he pled guilty to all of these counts
of murder. So he'll be doing four life sentences. I'm
assuming they'll be consecutive life sentences plus ten years for burglary.
So he's in jail for four lifetimes. So he dies
and then he's in jail for another lifetime, and then
he dies, and then he'll be in jail for another lifetime.
(21:57):
So he's not seeing the outside of a jail cell
ever again. But the family's going, you know, hey, we
wanted to put to death, and the other family members
said okay, and there's closure. You're going to hear some
really heart wrenching statements made by family members.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Bill, I'm not sure when the last time you partied
in East Hollywood was, but it was last night.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It was fortunate that you weren't there earlier.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
In the week. I do a lot of party in
East Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yes, apparently there was a guy who was at the
Vermont Hollywood nightclub calls the little trouble inside, was asked
to leave, tried to come back, was told no, and
then came back again, only this time he was driving
and plowed into a crowd full of people injuring tons,
some critically, and somebody in that crowd shot this guy.
(22:47):
So now we're learning more about the driver, Fernando Ramirez,
who apparently has a long rap sheet, and police are
looking for the guy who shot him. Crazy scene, Bill, Yeah,
what a shocker that he was only shot by one guy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
East LA Nightclub. Yeah, you wouldn't see half the people armed,
would you.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
If that's the East Hollywood. How close is that to
your Star?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You know, it's pretty close, pretty close.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Although they have to move the tents because homeless people
live on the Star. They have to move the tents
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
In real estate.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No, it is not. A lot of people do not
understand that it's location, location, location, even with the stars.
And I'm surprised, and I guess in a very good way.
I don't hear of anybody having died, even though he
plowed into them.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
They were just injured critically, some of them apparently critically.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So these were serious injuries, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Critical doesn't really matter when it's very serious. It's life
threatening or grave is what they use. But as soon
as you go into the hospital, you're critical almost almost
under any circumstances, and the next day you're stable. So
they're not saying any life threat reatening in injuries, which
is good news, it really is, especially when you're talking
(24:04):
about going in and just literally going into a crowd.
Guy has some anger issues, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
He's got a history of doing crime, and then to
have apparently caused some trouble in the club already trying
to go back a couple of times to plow into
a crowd of people though that I mean that could
have killed people. Yeah, the point in a prison for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, all right, Well, I don't know how long he's
gonna be in prison, gonna be in there for decades,
to say the least, because they got to charge him,
probably with one count per and there's what fourteen to
fifteen people there, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
The Trump administration has imposed new restrictions on flights from
Mayhico and threatened to end a long standing partnership between
Delta and Arrow Mayhico in response to limits the Mexican
government placed on passenger and cargo flights into Mexico City
several years ago. Now, well, this bill seems to be
(25:03):
yet another moving piece in the constantly moving threshold of
when we have tariffs, when we don't, what's our trade policy?
Who are our friends? It's getting really hard to keep
up with that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, you know, look at the story here.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If this is true, is that Mexico a bunch of
years ago stopped, in this case Delta Airlines from flying
into the international airport right near the city and instead
the newer airport thirty miles away. And people want to
be near the city when they land. And if this
(25:38):
is true, I mean there's no reason to think it
is not. What Mexico did is they made it a
huge advantage to take Mexican airlines because you're not having
to drive thirty miles, which is usually a forty five
or a minute or one hour trip in.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
And you know, Trump is right on that.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He goes, you can't do that, and the Bible administration
said it was fine. I think it happened during the
Biden administration, maybe during the Obama administration say that's enough
of that.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
You know, we're I'm done. You got to treat us
the same way you do other airlives.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think he's right, you know, there is some validity
when he says we are being treated badly by many countries,
not only internationally, not only in terms of policy nationally,
but also in terms of private enterprise.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like this one.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Let's go to Boston. The story, it just won't go away.
These two people tech executives, won the CEO, won the
head of human resources, allegedly having an affair with each other.
They hit up a Coldplay concert in Boston when all
of a sudden, the kiss cam lands on them. They
(26:50):
duck away, embarrassed, and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin kind
of calls it out and says, I don't know what
they're embarrassed about. Maybe they're having an affair. They've been
the talk of the internet ever since. Now that guy's
not even working as the CEO anymore at this big company,
and I bet their personal lives are in shambles too.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Have you seen this bill?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
What?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah? Of course, what else could it be other than
an affair?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
If he is there as let's say he's there with
his girlfriend, he's there with his wife or whatever, and
there's quote legitimacy to it, and that's in quotes, and
of course he may be embarrassed, But why does he
resign as CEO of the company he's at. It's out
to because a resignation can be that embarrassing just because
(27:35):
he's hugging his girlfriend slash girlfriend. There's no other way
of looking at it.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I think you have to wonder this had even gotten
the attention of his board of directors, had it not
blown up all over the world.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, I mean it just like the affair heard around
the world.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I mean, I don't get it now. Obviously if she
was on her knees, that would be very different.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
But it's praying, of course, pray, of course, praying, completely
different interpretation exactly. Moving on, we have a lot of
stories from the skies today, the skies have not been
so friendly. A Delta flight had to make an emergency
landing right here at LAX after one of its engines
caught fire on Friday afternoon. It happened while the Delta
(28:22):
flight was climbing during takeoff. The aircraft was headed to
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. At the time, it seems
every day, Bill, you turn on the news, listen to us,
and it's another aviation situation.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, that's a third one.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, yeah, let me ask this one. Are the number
of these incidents climbing or is this the reporting of
these incidents? And is it Delta airlines that seem to
be the majority of these issues.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, we have fewer airlines than we used to have,
so I think even that one that we talked about
earlier with the the B fifty two bomber and the
Delta flight that had to reroute itself and a haze
fashion that technically that guy was flying for sky West,
but it's branded as Delta, So maybe we're throwing around
the word Delta and it could be some regional carrier.
But nonetheless, it does seem like we were having a
(29:10):
lot more of these and it's also become political, right.
I mean, it seems like a democratic administration would want
to blame the previous administration for whatever they did to
the FAA's navigation systems. We're certainly hearing that from Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy under President Trump blaming you know, beat
Buddha Judge and the Biden administration his predecessor there.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But the Biden.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Administration is being blamed by the Trump administration administration for everything,
including the kidnap and murder of the Lindberg baby. I mean,
it has not stopped.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I'll tell you what's not stopping.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
The the col exit, as they call it, people leaving California.
And you know things might be going poorly when the
owner of one of the most iconic businesses in the
entire state, in and Out says we're leaving too, the
company's headquarters. We already knew part of that was moving
to Tennessee. But Lindsay Snyder says her family's going with it.
That it's too tough to do business in California, but
(30:09):
it's also tough to raise a family here.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Bill not unusual.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Unfortunately, a lot of businesses are leaving California because it is.
It is tough as nails to be in California for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Okay, one more and then we'll bail out of here.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
What is this?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
There was a plan to kill four hundred and fifty
thousand owls, all as part of an effort to save
a different owl. But apparently there's this unusual alliance of
Republican lawmakers and animal right advocates, not usual bedfellows.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
They've come together with others to stop this plan. Looks like, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
You can't cull. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
If it's totally the species is totally invasive and they
kill everything in their path, you simply can't cull.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's like this spotted owl, you.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Know, I mean in danger. You can't do anything to it.
And do you know how good tasting spotted owl is.
How it's phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's absolutely delicious.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
I'd like to try that sometime.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yes, except you go to prison for twenty years when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
That's the problem. Okay, we're done, guys.
